Western media and social media circulated a video clip said to show that the Ukrainian plane that crashed in Iran was hit by a missile minutes after takeoff, while the Iranian authorities insisted on excluding this hypothesis.
The US newspaper The New York Times confirmed the validity of the video, and published a report on the accident, saying that the plane was hit by an Iranian missile, but it did not explode completely, but rather tried to return to the airport again, but it exploded and fell.
Other media outlets released that video, including CNN and NBC, and some said they had verified his health.
The footage, filmed from the ground at night, shows a flying plane before its course showing a great flash.
You can watch a great annotated video put together by @JakeGodin of Newsy here, showing the various objects and events of the brief clip: pic.twitter.com/lwRfStVoGP- Bellingcat (@bellingcat) January 9, 2020
The Ukrainian plane crashed on its way from Tehran to Kiev at dawn Wednesday, while Iran was on alert hours after the Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired missiles at American targets in Iraq, in retaliation for the killing of a prominent Iranian military commander, Qassem Soleimani, in a US attack with a drone in Baghdad.
All of the 176 people on board were killed, including more than eighty Iranians, 63 Canadians, a number of Ukrainians, and passengers of other nationalities.
Canada and other Western countries said the plane was shot down by an Iranian missile, possibly in error. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that information from Canadian intelligence and other sources indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian air-to-surface missile.
The German government said on Friday that information and evidence about the possibility of a Ukrainian plane hitting a missile must be taken seriously.
Reuters news agency yesterday quoted a US official as saying - citing data from satellites - that Washington had concluded with a high degree of confidence that Iranian defenses had accidentally shot down the plane. The official indicated that the data showed that the plane was flying for two minutes after leaving Tehran when two thermal fingerprints of two air-to-surface missiles were detected.
Iran excludes the missile hypothesis
On the other hand, the head of the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization confirmed that the Ukrainian plane was not hit by a missile, calling for not to anticipate the results of the plane's black box analysis.
Ali Abedzadeh said at a press conference held today, Friday, that the pilot of the plane contacted the control tower and asked to return to Tehran airport after take off, but he did not do it for reasons that are still unknown.
Zadeh asked the Americans "if they have evidence that the plane was shot down with a missile to provide it," considering that talking about the plane crashing with a missile is a political rather than a technical issue, and he clarified that he asked for help from countries in the investigation, including Sweden and Canada.
The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization stated that the plane's black box suffered from a malfunction, but could benefit from it, noting that a fire broke out for two minutes in the plane before it crashed.
A one or two year investigation
The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization said that it may take "a year or two" to complete the investigation into the plane crash, noting that loading the memory unit from the two black boxes that were recovered from the plane's crash site may take one or two months.
An Iranian official said that Tehran prefers to download the data of the black boxes themselves, but it may send them to Russia, Canada, France or Ukraine if necessary, given that Tehran has agreements with these countries.
State television showed a clip of the two black boxes that he said were in the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization.
For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky said that the hypothesis of shooting down the plane with a missile over Iran is not excluded, but it has not been confirmed.
The Ukrainian President met US diplomats and obtained data on them, and the Ukrainian Foreign Minister described the information as "the task."
According to Agence France-Presse, the European Union is calling for an independent and credible investigation into the plane crash.
The US Transportation Safety Agency announced that it had received a note from the Iranian civil air authorities to investigate the causes of the crash of the Ukrainian Boeing plane shortly after take-off from Tehran on Wednesday.
The agency said in a statement that it "continues to follow the situation about the plane crash and assess the level of its participation in the investigation."
She added that, "as in every investigation involving the National Transportation Safety Authority, the agency did not launch speculation about the causes" of the crash.

when it comes to breakfast, i try to opt for healthier choices to start my day off on the right foot. for that reason, i am a major fan of açaí bowls and love not only the nutrient-packed ingredients, but also how insanely delicious they are. some of my favorite juice bars and organic restaurants that serve açaí are just a few minutes from my school’s campus, but when i’m home i prefer to make my own to not only save money, but also to experiment with whatever fruit, juices and granola are in my kitchen that day. here’s my favorite recipe for a refreshing, healthy, homemade açaí bowl!
the main components of the smoothie-like base for this bowl are frozen, unsweetened açaí puree, frozen berries (i love blueberries, raspberries and blackberries), half of a banana, a tiny bit of agave syrup for sweetness and almond milk as needed to thin out the mixture. creating the bowl is literally as simple as combining all of your ingredients in a blender and blending until your bowl base is smooth and possesses the dark purple color that açaí is known for.
after the base is done, the options are virtually endless when it comes to topping it off. some of my favorites include fresh berries, sliced banana, granola and chia seeds. i absolutely love the combination of açaí and granola and one of my favorites is trader joes’ vanilla almond “just the clusters” granola cereal, but any granola you like would be perfect atop the bowl. here’s my final product and, might i add, it was absolutely delicious!
stay tuned for more posts and follow along to be notified as soon as new content hits the site!

Today has been an awesome day!
I got things started with some banana PB oatmeal, which wasn’t the original plan, but someone ate all the bread in the house 😉
Then I went grocery shopping for the week, which included a trip to Whole Foods. While I was there, I picked up an item I had never tried before.
But lately, I’ve started to miss a few “comfort foods” and I figured now was the perfect time to start experimenting with some new products. How awesome is it to see something labeled “vegan”? 🙂
For lunch, I made grilled “cheese”!
I also had a sweet potato with cinnamon and Smart Balance Light.
I picked up a bunch of other new things for this week, so stay tuned!

Willie Neuman writes, “Many directed their anger over rising fares at the authority or Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.”
The economy is impacting politics: Chung Seto says, “The good thing is that with technology, we don’t have to rely on TV and print ads, like in the old days.”

Bloomberg tried tempering public outrage over A.I.G. bonuses on “Meet the Press” this weekend.
On October 16, Andrew Cuomo didn’t have a problem with A.I.G.’s bonuses.
Somebody watching Bloomberg on “Meet the Press” thinks he should run for president.
Didn’t we settle that?
One woman thinks his “police” are cute.

Paterson now reportedly wants to temporarily tax the rich.
The Working Families Party wants to consult with the next public advocate over who they’ll put on the City Planning Commission.

Defender - GX Todd
Defender - GX Todd ***
The nature of a post-apocalyptic world is one that we are becoming increasingly familiar with from numerous recent books and movies. Everyone should be prepared for it and you'll all know by now just what it takes to survive; carry a gun, keep to yourself, keep moving and trust no-one. The question of what causes the disaster that is coming any day now won't make much of a difference. Whether it's a virus, an environmental catastrophe, an economic collapse or a nuclear holocaust (the most likely candidate at the moment), you're safer off alone. Inevitably however, people are drawn together to seek extra protection or share resources, and when groups get together, that's when the trouble really starts.
G.X. Todd's Defender, the first in a four-part Voices series, doesn't stray too far away from a fantasy/horror template that has been largely defined by Stephen King's The Stand. The nature of the disaster here isn't immediately clear, but it has resulted in a severely depleted population and a large proportion of burnt-out towns. The remainder of the survivors live fending for themselves in the ruins of America, or belong to new communities of savage and paranoid people. What has brought society to this point would seem to be related to persistent voices that have lodged themselves in the heads of some of the population, often pushing suicidal urges.
One of the people who is subject to an internal voice is Pilgrim, but he seems to be managing well enough on his own, riding his bike across the charred landscape, minding his own business and not slow to use his gun when any stranger approaches. Something however - maybe it's the voice in his head or just the cool homemade lemonade she has made - makes Pilgrim stop at the side of the highway and agree to take Lacey to a town over on the other side of the state. 15 year old Lacey has been living on her own ever since her mother died, and her only relative is a married sister who lives in Vicksburg. There are going to have to get themselves out of a few scrapes before they get there.
A lot of the situations in Defender are familiar ones, and the outlook on human nature revealed by a global apocalyptic event is not a pleasant one. It seems that when disaster strikes, those who survive will transform into marauding paranoid rednecks. Aside from Alex, a girl that they manage to rescue along the way, the latent psychopath seems to have won the day within everyone else that Pilgrim and Lacey meet along the way. There's a shocking amount of what seems like unnecessary rape, brutality, torture and murder throughout the book. There might however be a reason for that, and it might have a lot to do with the 'voices', but it's not the kind of thing you want to read about at this kind of length.
For the most part, Defender is very much a case of running from one dangerous post-apocalyptic battle to survive to another, and I have to say I struggled to get through the latter third of the book. On the other hand there are a few reasons why you might want to keep reading through to the end of this first book and on to the next three books of the series. There are a few mysterious figures (that include Ruby, Hari and a so-far unseen Pied Piper figure known as the enigmatic Flitting Man) as well as hints, theories and rumours about the nature of how the 'voices' epidemic has come about that remain intriguing and are likely to have further implications down the line. The author's reference to a speculative medical condition raises some interesting possibilities in this area.
The main reason why you might want to stick around in the battered and broken lawless landscape of the USA that the author sets out in the first book however is for the characters. Good people are hard to come by in Defender, and the definition of what constitutes 'good' might have to be re-evaluated for the circumstances, but the fate of Pilgrim, Lacey and Alex, the few things we learn about their backgrounds and the dilemmas they each find themselves in are (just about) enough to get you through the horror elsewhere, and maybe even beyond to the following books in the series.
Defender by GX Todd is published by Headline.

|An Appeal From Iraq War Veteran Michael Prysner to IndictBushNow Supporters|
December 10, 2010
We need your help to bring young Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Dec. 16 action. Click HERE to get involved.
Nearly eight years ago, I deployed to Iraq at age 19. They told me it was a “just” and “necessary” war. I clearly remember George W. Bush and his administration spewing “fact” after “fact” to rush me and thousands of other young people into war, and to mercilessly carpet bomb an innocent population.
|Ron Kovic and Michael Prysner lead anti-war march in Los Angeles|
My firsthand experience in Iraq revealed the Bush administration’s rationale for war to be a complete fabrication. I was fighting a war for profit, for Halliburton, for Big Oil and Wall Street, for the rich.
Like so many other veterans, I became inspired by the hundreds of thousands of people heroically fighting against the war here at home and I joined the ANSWER Coalition and the anti-war movement. I also became an active member of the IndictBushNow.org movement.
Along with other veterans, I am now working hard to stop these wars that started under Bush and continue under Obama. Our movement is growing stronger. More veterans and active-duty GIs are joining our ranks. Our next major action will be a veterans-led civil resistance at the White House on Dec. 16. We need your help to make it a success.
On Dec. 16, we will also be demanding that Bush and his cronies be indicted for the war crimes that they are responsible for—just as he have been confronting the Bush clique every time they show their faces around the country. We will hold high the “Indict Bush” banner to remind people that we must fight to end the wars, but also fight to punish those responsible. We cannot rest until they are held accountable.
|I strongly encourage everyone to support March Forward! and the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans by helping them get to Washington, D.C. for the historic and important civil resistance at the White House on December 16. This next generation of young veterans is the generation that can stop these wars.|
—Ron Kovic: Vietnam War veteran, author of Born on the Fourth of July
We are putting our bodies on the line on Dec. 16. If we do not stand up and fight back, more young people will be deployed to kill and be killed; to be maimed, traumatized and subjected to criminally substandard mental health services upon return.
Our new veterans' movement, which is proudly part of the broader anti-war struggle, knows that justice and change doesn’t come from the top. It comes from a fighting movement from below. Opposition to Bush and Cheney's crimes and the wars that continue today must come from all of those affected—students, working people, military families and, in particular, the veterans and GIs. Instead of fighting for empire, we must intensify our fight against the U.S. Empire.
We are taking that stand on Dec. 16, and we ask you to help make it happen. Whether you are a veteran, GI or an anti-war organizer, we urge you to be there on Dec. 16.
We also ask you to please make a donation to help send as many young Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans as possible to Washington, D.C. for the Dec. 16 action. Your generosity will allow young veterans to participate who cannot otherwise afford it.
More veterans and GIs are standing up everyday. With your support, we can reach and inspire even more to join us in the struggle against these criminal wars, hold those war criminals accountable and to build a better, more just world.
Thank you for your support.
Co-founder, March Forward!


Gecko hot tub controls
thank you very much for making the control system for my hot tub much smarter than the old one. I replaced it and got support and it works beautiful. Rebuilding my hot tub when the snow goes down.
I was thinking I love to do control systems and to make things autonomous. I like them to be working in the condition that you would expect at the most efficient state. I use the hot tub now more often and I was thinking of looking at what controls are needed to keep the water in a safe condition and automatically offsetting. I do know there are control systems that do this. It is the input of what you’re looking at that is the most important so that you change the least.
sure, I’ll be working on this. In the future. If I can get anything together for you I’ll put it here and you can have it.
I’m going to try spa marvel again. I really like that. I used to call it Jenny (Gump voice) as in generator. https://a.co/d/3oxWPDd ordered.
Maria just got up, we’re going to go in the hot tub as I spent the last three and a half hours exercising and she has Charlie horses. 😍😊💯🎇🕊

Mid-summer survey for few focussed birds in Ladakh, J & K
Post date: Mar 13, 2018 7:57:39 AM
Indian sub-continent is an important winter terminus for many migratory birds due to its latitudinal and climatic condition and a diversity of wetland habitats (Ali & Repley 1987). Systematic documentation of avifaunal distribution is maintained by Mysore Area (Mysore, Mandya & Chamararaja Nagar districts of Southern Karnataka) birders since 1987, the beginning of Asian Waterfowl Census (Mysore Nature 2016). The presence of 117 winter migrants’ visit is confirmed. Interestingly Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus, Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea and Brown-headed Gull Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus that are recorded in Mysore Area, has summer distribution in Indian limit at Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir but in small numbers.
To understand these birds' summer habitat, distribution, and the foraging activity, a short survey was planned in the Ladakh region where they, sparsely distributed and consistently breed (Ali & Repley 1987). Known breeding and foraging grounds were visited during the study for two weeks in July 2016. It includes Indus Valley, high-altitude varied saline & freshwater lakes, surrounding grasslands of Tso Pangong (4253 m), Tso Moriri (4600 m), Tso Kar (4544 m), Startsapuk Tso (4540 m) and Nubra – Shyok Valley (3200 m). Intended Hanley region visit skipped because of the paucity of time. Study locations are designated Important Bird Area (IBA), prioritized conservation sites (Islam & Rahmani 2005) in Ladakh – Pangong Tso (IN-JK-15), Tso Kar Basin (IN-JK-18) & Tso Moriri Lake & Adjacent Marshes (IN-JK-19). Although it was only a short-term survey, significant amounts of information obtained are presented here.
Ladakh is an arid, high-altitude environment and the entire Area is extremely rugged and mountainous. The Trans-Himalayan cold desert of Ladakh is located on the border between the Palaearctic and the Indo-Malayan zoogeographic zones and it harbors distinctive avifauna of both the regions (Pfister 2004). Inhabitation exists in low-lying, smaller Areas along the Indus, Nubra-Shyok, Suru & Zanskar River valleys. The eastern part of Ladakh is continuous of Tibetan plateau extension.
Focussed species distribution in Mysore Area and Ladakh
Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus
Bar-headed Goose has the vast range of distribution, and its population trend is decreasing but not sufficiently rapid (BirdLife 2016). The population decline is due to over-hunting, egg collecting and habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 1992). The bar-headed goose migrates over the Himalayas to spend the winter in Indian sub-continent. Its wintering habitat is cultivated fields of paddy & grams adjoining the water bodies and safely rests in the middle of fresh water bodies. Goose breeds very locally on high-altitude lakes and marshes (Rasmussen & Anderton 2012). Few attempts are made to study the Goose movement that breeds in Indian limit. A bird that was neck collared at Pong Lake, Himachal Pradesh on breeding sojourn was re-sighted at Tso Kar, Ladakh establishing a smaller range of migrating route (WWF India 2013). Using modern satellite tracking techniques, Geese was fitted with Platform Transmitter Terminals (PTT) and studied in Ladakh (WII, 2014). The study provided little details of movement - between Himachal Pradesh border (close to Tso Moriri) to Pangong Lake to Chushul, and Chushul to Tibetan part of Pangong Lake. Winter migration started from Chushul to Gharana Conservation Reserve, Jammu. In another attempt at Gharana Conservation Reserve, could gather minuscule movement data within in the Tawi river plains of India and Pakistan (Neeraj et al. 2014). Movement of Geese, breeding beyond Indian limit and maximum usage of several stopover sites between breeding and wintering areas is well established (Eric Palm et al. 2015).
Goose collared in Mongolia provides substantial evidence of migration from Mongolia to India (Madhukar et al. 2009). These Geese have been recorded in 27 tanks every winter till day (Shivaprakash 2005); as high as 996 Geese have been counted in a single flock during February 2011. So far 36 Collared Geese have been recorded in Mysuru Area (Shivaprakash 2016). The congregation is recorded consistently every year at IBAs like Kunthur-Kallur Lakes (IBA-IN-KA-18), Narasambudhi Lake (IN-KA-27), Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir (IN-KA-18), Sulekere Lake (IN-KA-34) and other tanks- Bannur Heggare, Hadinaru, Kaggalipura, Kenchanakere, Markalu. Shrinking water bodies, disturbance, and hunting, decrease in cultivation are the few threats faced. To safeguard the cultivated crops farmers spread the fishing nets, thus denying their feed and as well nets tangle them to damage and sometimes death. In Ladakh, Goose were recorded only at Tso Moriri feeding on short grass blades in vast grasslands close by the water body during early morning hours.
Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea
Ruddy Shelduck has a vast range of distribution, and its population trend is uncertain (BirdLife 2016). Usually found dispersed in pairs during the breeding season and scattered small flocks in winter. On land, it feeds on grasses, the tender leaves, grain, terrestrial invertebrates and in water plants and aquatic invertebrates. These are rare, over Mysore Area, not a regular winter migrants as Bar-headed Goose and Brown-headed Gull. They are said to be gregarious in winter (Rasmussen & Anderton 2012). In Mysore Area they have been recorded in subtle numbers (2 to 7) occasionally over three decades (1987-2016) at IBAs Kunthur-Kallur Lakes (IBA-IN-KA-18), Narasambudhi Lake (IN-KA-27), Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir (IN-KA-18), and other tanks -Yelandur, Duggatti, and Kenchanakere. Here, the Shelducks prefer to stay on mudflats and sandbars of the interior lakes. In winter Shelducks frequenting riverine wetlands (75%) more than the grasslands and shrub lands, and avoided woods and cropland habitats (Tsewang et al. 2011). As sightings are rare in Mysore Area, an extensive investigation is necessary for riverine wetlands. In addition to Ladakh, Shelducks breeds in Arunachal Pradesh (Choudhury 2000) and Sikkim (Ganguli-Lachungpa 1990) in Indian limit. In Ladakh, Shelducks was recorded in 2 or 3s at four locations on riverine wetlands. Though omnivorous in nature and nocturnal in behaviour, at two sites they were feeding on short grass blades close by the water body during the daytime.
Brown-headed Gull Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus
Brown-headed Gull has extremely large range of distribution, and stable population trend (BirdLife, 2016). Gull Breeds in high-mountainous lakes of different salinity level and surrounding grasslands. Outside the breeding period spreads over coastal waters, saline/ freshwater lakes, and larger rivers. It is a breeding visitor to Ladakh and often nests with Ruddy Shelducks and Bar-headed Goose. It has a varied diet like fish, shrimps, offal, rodents, sewage, grubs, slugs and earthworms (del Hoyo et al. 1996). Opportunistic feeding by a large number of Gulls on cooked food made out of gram and wheat flour is a tourist attraction in winter at Lakhota lake, Jamnagar.
These are uncommon winter migrants to Mysore Area, regularly found in IBA designated large water bodies like Kunthur-Kallur Lakes (IBA-IN-KA-18), Narasambudhi Lake (IN-KA-27), Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir (IN-KA-18), Sulekere Lake (IN-KA-34) and Bannur Heggare, Karimuddanahalli, Kenchanakere. Seldom uses medium sized water bodies like Karanji (IN-KA-14), Lingambudhi (IN-KA-22), Kalale, Subbarayankere, Devikere, Malligehalli for a day or two. Receding water level to its lowest attracts the large congregtion (500+) of Gulls in in Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir. In Ladakh, individual Gulls were recorded in thin streams and grasslands, but on water surface of larger lakes were in small numbers.
Table 1: Focussed species distribution in nos.
Other birds recorded during the visit
Ladakh supports 310 bird species including 36 species that are not sighted after 1960 and data deficient (Pfister, 2004). Out of 274 species, 106 breed here (Tak et al. 2008). Recorded 81 bird species (Table 2) during the survey. The sighting comprises of one near threatened bird species (bnhsenvis 2015) - Himalayan Vulture Gyps himalayensis; and two Vulnerable, Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis and the Common Pochard Aythya ferina. The team discovered a solitary Red-wattled Lapwing Vanellus indicus at Tso Moriri. The bird was completely tired, tucked its head in standing posture and hardly moved on our close proximity. This observation constitutes the first record for Ladakh. Maximum numbers of species were observed in disturbed Areas - close to the construction workers' settlements and villages.
In addition to focussed three species, 78 avifaunal species observed. Among them, 42 species were involved in breeding activity like feeding their off-shoots, and carrying the nesting material. A pair of Eurasian Hobby Falco subbuteo was incubating in a black poplar tree in a hamlet. Observed, highest numbers of Citrine Wagtail Motacilla citreola and Black Redstart Phoenicurus ochruros breeding in pastures surrounding water bodies; at least a pair them were present every 40 -50 m distance.
Development pressures on biodiversity in Ladakh
Ladakh is currently witnessing unprecedented levels of economic growth, in large part driven by growth in the tourism, animal husbandry, and infrastructure development. Ladakh has no other way to avoid but to face it. Some infrastructure facilities including roads, residing places, and power transmission line are being developed to support economic growth in Ladakh. Some of these could have negative impacts on the wetlands supporting water birds at Tso kar, Tso Moriri, Pangong Tso (all IBAs) and its wildlife and biodiversity. Threats have been brought out clearly in the study (Chandan et al. 2004) on Black-naped Crane Grus nigricollis that is faithful to all the water birds. Presently the threats are magnified by many folds: Grazing pressure from the livestock; unregulated and unplanned development activities such as the construction of the road, buildings, and brick making around the wetland; tourists camping, generating garbage and the causing disturbances; off track driving by the vehicles, Construction workers camping close to the foraging ground and water sources.
To address the issues, it is essential to utilize available nesting and seasonal distribution detailed data. Such data would enable to provide different options for construction of roads, buildings, transport, power infrastructure, efficient usage of occasional grasslands and facilitate the selection options that could minimize adverse impacts on nesting, the foraging habitat of this distinctive avifauna of the regions.

Projects per year
For people with psychotic disorders, the negative outcomes associated with continuing cannabis use would suggest that discontinuing such use may be beneficial for their symptomatic and functional recovery. However, existing evidence that discontinuation is associated with better clinical outcomes is inconsistent and it remains unclear whether discontinuing use is associated with improvements in outcomes for people with an established psychotic disorder. In this 3-5-year longitudinal study we examined baseline and follow-up symptomatic and functional profiles of 371 people with an established psychotic disorder, comparing those who continued to use cannabis with those who discontinued use after baseline assessment. At follow-up, one third (33.3 %) of baseline cannabis users had discontinued use. Discontinuation was associated with significantly lower odds of past-year hallucinations and a mean improvement in level of functioning (Personal and Social Performance Scale) compared to a decline in functioning in continuing users. No significant differences in severity of negative symptoms were observed. With few longitudinal studies examining symptomatic and functional outcomes for people with established psychotic disorders who continue to use cannabis compared to those who discontinue use, our findings that discontinuing cannabis was associated with significant clinical improvements fill gaps in the evidence-base.

Anderson nearly finished with studies at Harvard
The Orion Nebula inspired this painting by Harvard student and sci-fi enthusiast Ashley Anderson. Anderson, a Cherokee Nation citizen, said she loves astronomy and reads science fiction novels. COURTESY
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Cherokee Nation citizen Ashley Anderson is a senior at Harvard University majoring in history literature with an emphasis on visual culture and minoring in Central European studies.
Anderson was born and raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas, until her middle school years when she moved to Mobile, Alabama. She stayed in Mobile for five years before attending Sequoyah High School in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She graduated from SHS as the valedictorian with a perfect GPA and an ACT score of 32.
“I love astronomy. I read many science fiction novels, and I’m fascinated with the beauty of space,” Anderson said. “My passion for space is what helped me figure out what I would like to study in Harvard.”
She arrived to Cambridge with an interest in the “sci-fi” genre and declared astrophysics as her major. This lasted for a year before she started to switch back and forth between majors. She eventually found history literature to be the major she had been searching for thanks to a professor.
“I took two classes with Marjorie Garber, who’s one of the leading scholars on William Shakespeare,” Anderson said. “My favorite writer is Shakespeare, so studying his works for two semesters with Professor Garber was incredible. She is a captivating speaker and the best lecturer I’ve had.”
Anderson has also been active on campus by being a part of the College Board and the Native Americans at Harvard College organization. She has collaborated on the Indigenous College Planning Guidebook as a member of The College Board’s Native American Internship Program. She also developed and edited the Indigenous College Planning Guidebook at Harvard and was the secretary of Native Americans at Harvard College and helped organize “Indigenous Day” events.
“Being at Harvard I am still connected to the Native American community through my extracurricular activities,” Anderson said. “On my down time I am usually watching older films, reading novels, practicing yoga or painting astronomical art pieces.”
Anderson said she’s busy but finds time to release her creative side. She expresses her passion for space through astronomical art and has one such painting of the Orion Nebula combined with nature to create a cosmic owl.
Anderson said she’s proud to be Cherokee and enjoys being in organizations that allow her to give back.
“To me, being Cherokee is completely tied to family and community, which both mean more to me now that I’m older and have lived on my own,” she said. “In a literal sense, when I’m in Cambridge, I am less connected to our community, but in another way, distancing myself from my familiar life in Tahlequah was a necessary estrangement that helped me realize how different and special it is to be Cherokee.”
Anderson will graduate from Harvard this spring. Afterward she plans to teach at a nonprofit organization for a year before going back to school to pursue law. She would like to focus on civil rights and tribal law.

Winners from London and in the Bundesliga, injuries in the Premier league, women fighting all figure in this week’s good, bad and ugly section.
Two from two for Wolfsburg. The German champions continue their good start with a 3-1 away win over Cologne. Obafemi Martins, a recent transfer from ex-Premier League side newcastle, scored the clincher when he came on for his debut as substitute. Meanwhile in Japan, it was good for the rest as first and second place teams Kashima and Kawasaki both lost. Niigata and Osaka are now only three behind second place Kawasaki. With the two top teams meeting early next month, they’ll be hoping they can close the gap even further.
It was also good for Tottenham and the other 4 PL clubs from the capital as well. Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham and Arsenal have all started the season in winning form and I wonder will we see a shift in power away from the north west this season?
The Premier League is only one week into the season, but already there a a number of injuries that will sideline players for the next few weeks or more. Andy Johnson of Fulham is out after a nasty tackle in the Europa League – out for up to two months. Rio Ferdinand picked up an injury in training and will be sidelined for a month – bad news for Manchester United, whose defence is looking less than solid. Liverpool’s players seem to be being held together with stitches – Jamie Carragher had 15 stitches in a head wound after a clash of heads with his team mate Skyrtel – the Slovakian is out for two weeks with a jaw injury from that incident, and Torres had to have nine stitches in his eyebrow after another clash of heads in the game against Stoke.
This week saw a farcical situation from The Championship when Crystal Palace had a perfectly good goal disallowed against Bristol City. Manager Neil Warnock was furious and it is hard not to feel sorry for him as his team would have managed to take a point if there had been some form of goal line technology. Bad for Palace and for football.
A story from a few weeks back now, but women’s football will not be happy it has made the news. A brawl broke out at the end of an Asian Under 19s Championship game that China won 2-1. The game had been a bad-tempered affair and it only got worse when the Australians were denied a penalty by the ref and then had a player sent off in the fnal minute. That proved too much for the Australians and both sets of players starting pushing, punching and kicking, while fans started throwing plastic bottles onto the pitch. Very ugly scenes indeed. The tournement, held in China, was eventually won by Japan who beat Korea 2-1 in the final.

DADE CITY — More than two decades ago, then-state Sen. Jack Latvala tried unsuccessfully to dissolve the city of Port Richey.
A Pasco County commissioner wonders if it's time to try again, now that the mayor and deputy mayor have both been charged with crimes.
Commissioner Jack Mariano broached the idea during Tuesday's Pasco commission meeting.
"Looking at the issues that are out there and what's going on,'' said Mariano as he named Port Richey's assets, including a waterfront park and city hall building, "I don't think it would be a negative.''
He didn't get much support from the rest of the dais.
"I think we need to stay out of it until it plays out,'' said Commissioner Kathryn Starkey.
Mariano raised the topic after reading an email from Port Richey Council Member Jennie Sorrell to resident Michael Grimes, who said he was embarrassed to live in Port Richey after a three-person council failed to fill an open seat on the council last week.
Mariano drew attention to Grimes' statement that Port Richey is without a building official, code enforcement officer or utilities director. Mariano asked County Administrator Dan Biles and County Attorney Jeffery Steinsnyder if the county could lend a hand to provide those services.
Later, City Manager Vince Lupo said Port Richey contracts with a private company to serve as its certified building official. The code enforcement officer recently left for a higher-paying job with the city of New Port Richey, and his predecessor is filling in. The director of utilities and public works also resigned recently, and the second-in-command of each department is running operations until a new director is hired.
"It's a normal event in any city, particularly when employees receive no pay raises'' this fiscal year, said Lupo.
TAMPA BAY TIMES COVERAGE:
Mariano said in an interview that he had just begun researching whether the city should dissolve. The county, he said, could employ the same people. And city residents, if they are interested, could pay for a higher level of service through a municipal tax district or similar mechanism.
"I'm trying to understand the process,'' said Mariano. "I'm still learning.''
Mariano's daughter, state Rep. Amber Mariano, R-Hudson, tweeted last month, "It is time to dissolve the city of Port Richey.''
Her comment came after the March 14 arrest of Acting Mayor Terrence Rowe, who was charged with conspiring with the jailed former mayor, Dale Massad, to intimidate a witness. Massad faces charges of attempted murder of a police officer and practicing medicine without a license. Massad resigned, and Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Rowe, leaving Port Richey with a three-member City Council.
In April 1997, city voters overwhelmingly rejected a referendum to dissolve the city and merge with New Port Richey. The city ballot question came after Latvala and then-Rep. Debra Prewitt introduced legislation in Tallahassee requiring the referendum question be put before voters in both cities.
Rather than wait, Port Richey held its own election and spent $42,000 on legal fees and advertising to promote the benefits of remaining an independent municipality.
"I'm totally, totally against dissolving the city,'' said Sorrell. "We're still functioning as a city, and we're taking care of problems as they come up. I don't know why they (Pasco County) would even broach the issue.''

In the book his laughing and loving readers have been waiting for, our generation’s master of full-hearted humor lays open the soul of his life story.
Roy Blount Jr.–Georgia boy turned New York wit, lover of baseball and interesting women, bumbling adventurer, literary lion, salty-limerick virtuoso and impassioned father–journeys into the past and his psyche (also all the way to China, sixty feet underwater and to various Manhattan hot spots) in search of the answers to three riddles that have haunted him intimately:
One: the riddle of “the family curse.” Two: the riddle of what drives him (or anyone) to be funny. Three: the riddle of what so cruelly tangled his unseverable bond with the beguiling, beaten orphan girl who became the impossible mother who raised him to Be Sweet.
Roy Blount’s memoir is sardonic and sentimental, hilarious and grieving, brazen and bashful, tough and tender–sometimes by turns and sometimes all at once. Almost harshly honest, yet sportively wayward, Be Sweet resonates with the complex but bouncy chords of a whole man singing, clinkers and all.

This could end up being an expensive weekend for those who launch illegal fireworks in Manteca.
Manteca firefighters issued social host administrative citations for the first time ever just after nightfall on Friday. The citation carries a starting fine of $750 in addition to costs the city incurs.
The first citation was issued south of the 120 Bypass on Salmon Lane in a new neighborhood southwest of the intersection of Woodward and Oleander avenues. The same fire official that issued that initial citation also issued two others prior to 11 p.m. Friday. If other fire department patrols had the same luck as the one that Bulletin was able to contact, at least 12 citations representing $9,000 in accumulative fines may have been issued even before the three-day weekend started. Saturday and Sunday discharges are expected to be even worse with the use of illegal fireworks reaching a crescendo on Monday evening.
The information the Bulletin obtained for Friday evening before press-time did not include any citations that may have been by Manteca Police officers
Manteca officials have made it clear there will be no grace period. Also those already cited could be cited again if caught using legal fireworks again. Subsequent citations carry fines of $1,000 apiece.
Fire officials along with law enforcement are fielding emails and submissions via the “Nail ‘Em” app directing them to areas where illegal fireworks are being used.
In previous years before the new ordinance was put in place, public safety officials would respond to a complaint and would have to either witness someone launching fireworks or ask who did which never prompted anyone to fess up. Now they don’t need to make their presence known and can simply wait after they respond form a distance that doesn’t give them away, video an illegal launch and issue the citation that goes to whoever is in control of the property — a renter or the home owner.
When Clovis last July Fourth switched to the host ordinance to assign responsibility for the discharge of illegal fireworks police officers who rode bicycles around the community on the evening of Independence Day issued 30 citations that resulted in $1,000 fines for each offender caught.
Unlike Manteca that made the first offense $750 and subsequent offenses $1,000, Clovis opted to impose the maximum fine allowed under state law for the initial infraction.
Manteca is deploying all on-duty firefighters over the next three days as well as stepped up police staffing to help enforce the local and state laws that prohibit the possession and use of illegal fireworks
Manteca authorities are encouraging residents to download the app “Nail’Em” available from various app stores to help make those responsible for discharging illegal fireworks in the city pay the price.
The app is simple to use. It has a video component — or you can shoot your video independently using your smartphone video and download it later — as well as a question asking you to authorize the Global Position System to take a reading, an audio portion to make a verbal report, a written section as well and then a form for your contact information to fill out before sending it directly to email@example.com.
You can say you want to make the report anonymously but that reduces the chance of a successful prosecution as police or firefighters would have to be dispatched to see if they can witness an illegal discharge at the address in question. But if you fill out your name and contact, authorities will be able to process the information and with your willingness to sign that you witnessed what happened to collaborate illegal fireworks use, the responsible parties are well on their way to getting at least a $750 fine.
At least a $750 fine because every subsequent violation — an hour later or repeatedly over the course of multiple days — will add a $1,000 fine for each documented occurrence.
The city’s government outreach system can be used as well as calling the police department’s non-emergency number.

I'm an artist, and educator. I started creating art during a difficult time in my life and learned that art has the ability to inspire and heal. That is my dream for you. Take a look around and stay awhile.
I hope you find inspiration, art that resonates, and education that peacefully moves you forward in your art practice.
MY SIGNATURE PAINTING COURSE
Imagine making beautiful, expressive florals with simple techniques and your own inner guidance. Together we will walk through the process of letting go of your perfectionist fear and find your flow to create ethereal intuitive artwork.
I Know Perfectionism Feels Less Scary Than Intuition.
When art is conceived from a deeply intuitive place , it translates into that effervescent heart expansion you feel when you look at it… but internal pressure to get the art “just right” is the very thing that brings you out of intuitive flow and into your perfectionism. I created this class, based on my signature watercolor florals, to guide you to release the feeling of overwhelm when you stand in front of your blank paper and, instead, focus on a simple process that creates expressive, fluid florals, no matter your skill level.
See what can happen when you allow yourself to get lost in the process and trust that everything will be okay .
MAGIC WILL HAPPEN
Learn my signature watercolor floral technique and how to tap into the intuitive flow that brings it all to life.
Imagine being able to create from a place of peace and knowing. Intuitive painting is about connecting to your source and feeling your way through the creative process to create beautiful expressions of your soul. Surrender to the process and let your artwork flow by incorporating simple techniques and allowing the materials to do the work for you. In that space of softening to the process, you will enter a flow state that keeps your practice loose, instinctive, and felt. This is the intention I had as I created my new intuitive art course.
This class is the most beautiful art class experience I have ever had. It is exactly what my soul needed. It helped me to connect to the artist within. I feel like something has broken free in me and I can't wait to keep practicing these techniques. Stephanie's meditation was powerful and gorgeous! I don't usually meditate and I am so glad I gave it a chance. Stephanie's continuous reminders throughout that there are no rules and to let go and just play is what helped me to experience the freedom I've been searching for, for a very long time.
By far my favorite watercolor class on SkillShare! Such beautiful projects and Stephanie’s voice is so relaxing and calming. She is a fantastic teacher, so looking forward to more classes from her! LOVE!
This is one of the best classes I have seen. Stephanie put a lot of effort into organizing and presenting her process, which creates a very rewarding experience. I found her explanation of her technique, and her real-time execution, extremely easy to follow, approach, and implement. Loved seeing the comparison of papers at the end. Can't wait to experience her next class.

...And that's how, in the nights of my life, when everything seems pitch black, the spark of poetry lightens up my life. When I don't have arms to embrace me, I find solace in the laps of verses. The past couple of weeks were one of the darkest chapters of my life...Major family issues (a young loss); Dehydration, severe headache and runny nose all at once (of a kid whose immune was so strong that she didn't catch even a slight common cold for 2 years straight); feeling homesick at home (all alone); and the veil of my past being lifted up (that too, so full of negativity, that it almost sounds unreal), with 3 important tests (and school work of course) piling up all together . So much happened, so much of mental disturbance and stress, in just 10-15 days. But I found a little reason to smile, a little reason of fascination, in poetry. This is the feeling that I'm trying to convey, yet, through another poem. I have always hoped and will keep on hoping, that today, with my words, I move a heart.

The term Vascular Trauma refers to an injury of the blood vessel. An injured artery results in blood loss than vein due to high blood pressure comparatively. The main symptoms include bruising, swelling, pain and bleeding. Additional symptoms include weakness and numbness. Vascular trauma classified into two type's namely blunt and penetrating injuries. The blunt injury occurs when a blood vessel is stretched and penetrating injury occurs when a blood vessel is ruptured. The first risk of vascular trauma is a loss of life from exsanguination or multiple organ failures. Secondary risk factor with vascular injury is a loss of extremity due to delay in diagnosis and revascularization or vessel repair. The underlying vascular trauma management is to stop bleeding and restoration circulation. Immediate control usually did by applying direct pressure, and bandages are used to stop bleeding temporarily. After immediate hemorrhage control, volume resuscitation is done to increases the blood pressure. It followed by an invasive method, where blood vessels sealed by Intraoperative angiography, ligation, and shunting. Historically, more patients sustained serious vascular trauma did not survive long enough to reach out medical care, and those who did had minor injuries. But recent advancements in healthcare system made it possible to save few comparatively (still there is a high risk associated with it).
