|Magnolia Warbler at Magee Marsh, Ohio, in mid-September. This site is world famous for its warblers and other migrants in May, but the whole region is also visited by many migrants throughout the fall season.|
Spring migration in Ohio is justly famous, but fall migration lasts longer - almost half the year - and involves more birds, since the surviving adults are joined by many more young birds hatched during the summer.
After I wrote a blog post about the timing of fall shorebird migration in Ohio, several people asked me to expand it to describe the timing of fall bird migration in general. That's the aim of this article. The focus is on Ohio, but the patterns described here should apply in surrounding regions as well. I'm presenting the information in two ways: first, a breakdown of the highlights of each month; second, a description of the timing of migration for each major group of birds.
July: The first southbound shorebirds appear in late June, and by early July adults of several migratory shorebird species are numerous here. Juveniles of some species begin to appear before the end of July. The latter part of this month also sees large numbers of swallows staging in some areas, especially near Lake Erie and around some large reservoirs, flocking and feeding prior to their southward migration.
|Swallows, like this juvenile Barn Swallow, gather in large flocks in late summer before they start their southward migration.|
September: The best month for seeing a wide variety of migrating songbirds. Warblers are most numerous and diverse during the first three weeks of the month, and so are flycatchers. Thrushes and vireos are moving, and by late in the month, sparrows are also migrating. Shorebird migration continues strongly throughout September. Blue-winged Teal and Green-winged Teal appear in large numbers now, but most ducks are later migrants. Fall hawk migration isn't a major feature in Ohio, but September is the best time to see a passage of Broad-winged Hawks.
|Broad-winged Hawks, more strongly migratory than many other birds of prey, pass through Ohio mainly in September.|
|After most warblers have gone south, Yellow-rumped Warblers continue as common migrants through October and into November.|
December: Almost all species are past the peak of their migration by the first of December, but surprising numbers of stragglers will continue to move during this month. Some wintering species, such as Common Goldeneye, may not be present in full numbers until December, and some rare northern gulls may not show up until then. Sandhill Crane migration has been getting later in recent years, with the birds not moving out of staging areas northwest of Ohio until forced out by weather, so their peak passage through Ohio is now often in December.
Waterfowl: With a few exceptions, these are mostly later migrants. Several of the dabbling ducks are migrating in September, but only Blue-winged Teal reaches peak numbers then. Most other dabblers pick up in numbers from late September through November, while the main movement of diving ducks is from the end of October into early December.
|Pair of Lesser Scaup in flight (male on left, female on right): diving ducks such as these tend to arrive or pass through in peak numbers later in the fall than the dabbling ducks.|
Shorebirds: Fall migration of shorebirds is prolonged, with some southbound birds appearing by late June, and some still moving in early December. As a general rule, adults migrate earlier than juveniles, so many species show two well-defined peaks. Within the shorebird group, there is much variation by species. Short-billed Dowitcher is among the earliest migrants, peaking in July and August, while Dunlins are mostly late, peaking in October or even early November. See this post for much more specific information on the timing of shorebird migration.
|In most shorebird species, juveniles migrate later than adults. This juvenile Short-billed Dowitcher was photographed in late August; adults of the species pass through Ohio mostly in July.|
Terns: Most terns are moving in early fall. The main passage of Black and Caspian terns is in August and early September. Common and Forster's terns may have their largest movements in September and October, with numbers tapering off through November and a few lingering into December. Although there is considerable overlap, Forster's may be more likely than Common in late fall.
|Caspian Tern is among the earlier migrants in Ohio, reaching peak numbers in late summer.|
Flycatchers: Most flycatcher migration peaks in late August and the first half of September. Bucking that trend is Eastern Phoebe, with peak migration mostly from mid-September through mid-October.
Vireos: Major numbers of Red-eyed Vireos pass through during September, but they are easily overlooked in the dense foliage. Warbling and Philadelphia vireos also generally migrate through in September. Blue-headed Vireo peaks a little later, in late September and early October.
Swallows: The largest concentrations of swallows are actually seen in late July and August, as flocks of Barn, Bank, and Tree swallows gather in favored areas of open country, and large roosts of Purple Martins form at traditional sites. Numbers of most drop off by early September, although Tree Swallows remain numerous into at least mid-October. Following storms with winds from the southwest in late fall, including late October and November, Ohio birders have learned to look for vagrant Cave Swallows along the Lake Erie shoreline.
|Swainson's Thrush is a very common fall migrant through Ohio, especially in September.|
Warblers: September is the biggest month for fall warbler migration. A few individuals may begin to show up away from breeding areas by about the first of August, but such migrants aren't easy to find until about the second week of the month. By the third and fourth weeks, migrants are widespread, and good variety and numbers can be found by the end of August. The migration is strongest during the first three weeks of September. After the first of October, numbers and variety are beginning to drop off.
|Tennessee Warblers are among the earlier species of warblers to pass through Ohio in fall, often appearing in numbers during the last days of August.|
Some species such as Black-and-white, Black-throated Green, and Blackpoll warblers have a relatively long season of passage. Blackpoll Warblers may be abundant in late September and early October, but mainly in northern Ohio, close to Lake Erie; these birds are passing through the state on an eastward course, heading toward the Atlantic Coast.
|During September and early October, Blackpoll Warblers pass through Ohio in large numbers, heading toward the Atlantic Coast and ultimately toward their winter range in South America.|
Sparrows: In general, sparrows migrate later than warblers, with the main passage for most species centered on late September and October. Fox Sparrow averages later, moving mostly in late October and November, while the major numbers of wintering American Tree Sparrows arrive in the state in November.
|The migration of native sparrows (such as this White-throated Sparrow) adds to the excitement of birding in mid-autumn, from late September through October, after the main migration of warblers.|
Finches: Members of this family are notorious for their irregular migrations. American Goldfinches are common in Ohio all year, but individuals move around a lot, and there may be a substantial migration during October and early November. Purple Finches move south through Ohio every fall, mainly from late September through October, but their numbers can vary a lot from year to year. Pine Siskins are even more variable in numbers, but they sometimes have major invasions beginning in October or November. Other "winter finches," such as redpolls and crossbills, tend to show up later if at all, but their movements are so unpredictable that they are hard to generalize.
|White-winged Crossbills sometimes reach Ohio in winter, but the timing of their arrival is variable and unpredictable.|

text: I wrote about our apple trees and the awesome blossoms this year. Well, these beautiful blossoms are bringing oodles of bees and butterflies. Admitting this may earn me some quizzical looks, but I love, love, love bugs. Always have. I was big into entomology as a kid, my mounted and labeled bug collection making it all the way to state fair. I still love bugs. I could spend the day just watching the activity at these flowers. These creatures are so tiny and amazing. I'm excited my little guy enjoys watching them too. I'm also equally as excited that today is dragonfly pickup day. We ordered dragonflies nymphs a couple months ago and we're very excited to get them settled into their new home. We hope they enjoy snacking on our mosquitoes so the mosquitoes will not be snacking on us. Yes, I am quite excited for the dragonflies to join our little homestead.

A team of computer scientists and geneticists has published a
paper detailing a novel approach to genetic mapping that uses a
probability algorithm and DNA data to accurately pinpoint the
geographical origins of a subject's parents.
The study, published in Nature Genetics,
explains how the Tel-Aviv University and University of California
team created a genetic map by identifying populations
that share subtle genetic mutations. An algorithm was then used to
compare those genetic geographical sites against a subject's DNA.
After studying 1,157 samples from people across Europe the method
was shown to successfully identify the geographical origins of a
subject's parents to within a few hundred kilometres.
"If the location of an individual is unknown, our model can
actually infer geographic origins for each individual using only
their genetic data with surprising accuracy," said Wen-Yun Yang, a
UCLA computer scientist involved in the study. Continue reading

As I've told you all before, I'm not really big on desserts. However, I've been in the sweets-mode for a few weeks now....and all signs point to this trend continuing for awhile. My friends and co-workers have been lavished with leftover treats recently and now they won't stop pleading for more. What can I say? They're savages (scallywags?). :)
So, in my quest to come up with things that are delicious, I looked through my pantry.
Oh baby, yeah.
Add these all together and discover a most luscious dessert. Yes, indeed, folks ... I'm talking about rum balls. The reason I embarked upon this particular (non)baking quest is simple. It was the last game of the kickball season and my team's name is Red Rum. Get it? Ball? Rum? :)
Rum Balls were clearly in order. Plus, inebriation via pastry is always fun.
The follow recipe is super simple. You can throw this together in just a few minutes and enjoy the rum balls immediately (or wait a few days for an even better treat). These are seriously good -- rich, chocolatey, with a hint of cinnamon, and a punch of rum. yum!
Be warned, however, that these things are super potent. Only serve to those of age (and not driving right away -- having just eaten one of these would make you fail a breathalizer test for sure!)
Rum Balls -- makes at least 40
--1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans (toast the pecans first, let them totally cool, and then pulse very finely - if you don't let them fully cool they will get all pasty...which you don't want, I promise.)
--1 1/2 cups ground vanilla wafers (pulse into a fine powder in a food processor)
-- 3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for garnish
-- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
--2 tablespoons cocoa powder
--2 tablespoons corn syrup
--1/2 cup good quality rum (mix of your favorite -- I used spiced rum and stroh's rum)
1) mix together all ingredients, in order listed, and chill until batter is cool (and less sticky)
2) roll dough into thumb size balls
3) toss them in a bowl with powdered sugar (enough to coat each ball)
4) store in refrigerator
They're even better a few days later. My team adored them (and D and M made me promise to make more soon for them). Enjoy!

The ‘Bullybusters’ campaign will take the message of anti-bullying to Merseyside this week to fight against the issue.
Kayte Walsh, the co-ordinator of the campaign, kicked off the awareness week with a consultation meeting at the Liverpool World Museum with teachers who work with young people.
Several other events will be held throughout the week, including an anti-bullying awareness session on Thursday for over 800 pupils at St Edmund Arrowsmith School in Whiston.
Liverpool-based educational charity ‘Ariel Trust’ will also debut a new workshop about cyberbullying called ‘Cyber-sense’ which is to target under-11s.
Anti-bullying charities say that young people in Merseyside are experiencing cyberbullying more now than ever before, with a survey showing that one in five primary school pupils have faced online abuse.
A YouGov survey in September involving 700 teachers showed that two thirds of them have witnessed their pupils abusing someone online, while 40% said they have never taught e-safety as they would feel out of their depth.
Childline statistics show that almost 45,000 children contacted them last year with over 20,000 of these children reporting online abuse. These figures have risen by 87% since 2011. The majority of claims come from 12-15 year olds, with 13% from children aged 11 or under.


Honor has just introduced its newest flagship, the Note 10. And while most of the specs were already known even before its launch, there’s still more than enough new features to talk about.
The Honor Note 10 has a huge 6.95-inch 18:9 display with FHD+ resolution, and is powered by the flagship Kirin 970, with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage, expandable with a microSD card. It runs on EMUI 8.2 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a massive 5,000mAh battery with support for Super Charge Technology.
It’s also obvious that this phone is gaming-focused, as the chipset also features a liquid cooling solution which Honor calls “The Nine” – composed of 8 layers of dissipation, plus a liquid-cooled pipe. As such, users can expect up to 41% improvement in heat management, and up to 10°C lower temperatures on load. It also features not only GPU Turbo, but CPU Turbo as well. They can even be made to work together using a dedicated hardware button.
For optics, the Honor Note 10 houses a 24MP + 16MP dual rear camera system, along with a 13MP front shooter. As with other Kirin 970-powered devices, AI features such as scene recognition and more are also present.
The Honor Note 10 is priced at CNY 2,799 (around PhP21,700) for the 6GB/64GB variant, CNY 3,199 (around PhP24,800) for the 6GB/128GB variant, and CNY 3,599 (around PhP27,900) for the 8GB/128GB variant. It comes in two colors – Midnight Black and Phantom Blue, with pre-orders already available in China.

Preparing freeze-dried food for your dog is one of the easiest things you can do. Freeze-dried foods are usually part of a raw feeding diet for dogs and consist of raw ingredients like raw meat, and fresh food like vegetables, fruits, unpasteurized milk, and raw eggs.
Preparing freeze-dried dog food is very easy. Just add some warm water to the food and wait for a couple of minutes to rehydrate.In minutes, the food will be ready for your dog to enjoy it.
If you want to find out more about this type of dog food and how to prepare it then keep on reading this article till the end.
What Is Freeze-Dried Dog Food Made Of?
The reason why freeze-dried food seems to be getting more popular these days is that it is a great way to get your dog started on a raw diet, especially if they have some sorts of digestive issues, sensitive stomachs or just problems with raw food.
The most common ingredients in freeze-dried dog food are raw meat(organ meats like liver, heart, kidneys, muscle meat, etc), and other fresh ingredients such as fresh veggies and fruits.
Freeze-dried dog food is a healthy diet and one of the safest ways to feed your dog a raw diet because the freezing process removes all of the harmful bacteria and makes the frozen food safer for raw consuming.
What Does Freeze-Drying Mean?
The process of freeze-drying involves a low-temperature and high-pressure processing for getting the food dehydrated. This process of freeze-drying removes most of the moisture from the dog food without actually getting in the way and removing all the natural nutrients and vitamins from the food. [Source]
Even though technically the food is put through “processing”, it doesn’t lose its nutritious ingredients because it’s not cooked on a hot temperature.So, freeze-dried food provides a complete, balanced diet for your dog.
Before the freeze-drying process, the raw ingredients are frozen and go through a vacuum chamber that makes the frozen water from the food evaporate.
How To Make DIY Freeze-Dried Food
If you happen to own a freeze-dryer or a vacuum chamber you can most definitely make your own batch of fresh freeze-dried food. I always say that making your own homemade food is far better than the store-bought pet foods.
Making freeze-dried food is very easy to make. You just have to make your ingredient list and make sure that the food will have the proper amount of nutritional benefits for a complete meal so your dog won’t get malnourished.
I only want the best for my dog so whenever I’m making her meals at home I always try to use natural ingredients of good quality andI would advise to do the same thing with your pet as well.
Dogs love meats like chicken and organ meat like kidneys, and liver. You can also use muscle meat pieces as a great protein source, some fresh collard green veggies, broccoli, green beans, and some carbohydrates like cooked brown rice.
I do not recommend carbohydrates(pasta, rice, quinoa, etc) for dogs that are trying to lose weight or dogs with sensitive stomachs as it can get pretty heavy.
Raw, meaty bones are a great calcium and protein source so if you have a grinder, you can grind them up and sprinkle them on top of the food.
If your dog can consume it, you can add in some healthy grains as well but that is completely up to you. Some dogs require a grain-free diet as it can mess up their digestive tract.
After you’ve picked your desired ingredients, put them in your freeze dryer or the vacuum chamber and set the timer for the recommended time.
How To Prepare Store-Bought Freeze-Dried Dog Food
The answer to this is very simple and it only takes a few minuter to do so. Just put the freeze-dried food in your pup’s bowl, and then just pour some warm water all over it.
Of course, I always advise for you to first read the label and see how much water is actually needed for preparing the freeze-dried food but, otherwise, the preparation is so simple that a child could make it.
Leave the food for a couple of minutes(again, read the recommended time on the label) to soak up all the moisture from the water and rehydrate and there you have it, an already prepared meal for your pet.[Source]
Again, the preparation process really depends on the types of food that you bought so always make sure you’ve educated yourself properly before making the freeze-dried dinner.
Is Dehydrated Food And Freeze-Dried Food The Same Thing?
Even though technically, freeze-dried food is dehydrated, it is not the same thing as dehydrated food. There are so many differences between these two types of food. First thing that comes to mind is that dehydrated dog food is cooked and freeze-dried food is part of the raw food diet.
Raw dog food and freeze-dried dog food have more nutritional benefits than dehydrated dog food all because the food is not cooked and I already said, raw and fresh foods like vegetables, fruits, raw meat, and raw eggs are so much better for your pup than a cooked meal.
Freeze-dried dog food is a type of food that has been put through a freeze-drying process. Freeze-drying makes any moisture from the food to evaporate and leaves it dry and dehydrated.
Freeze-dried food is mainly made from raw meat, and raw and fresh products like vegetables, raw eggs, raw milk, and raw ground bones.
Raw feeding diet is known for its many health benefits for dogs like smaller stools, higher energy levels, healthy teeth, and healthier skin(especially if your dog has a bad skin condition).
Dogs are known descendants of wolves and the raw food doesn’t affect their health. It’s actually far more nutritious for them, especially raw and meaty bones.
Freeze-dried food is a great idea for your dog if you’re scared to give them fresh raw food, in fear that it’s going to get them or you sick or if your dog has some digestive issues.
To prepare the freeze-dried food all you need is your dog’s food bowl, and some warm water. Pour the water all over the content of the baggie and wait for a couple of minutes for the food to retain the water.
If you’re able to make a homemade freeze-dried dog food go ahead. All you need is some organ meats or muscle meats, and of course, a freeze-dryer or a vacuum chamber. Your dog will love you for that.
Since this type of food is raw and as we know, raw food is a bit intense and hard on the stomach, always make sure that your dog has their water bowl filled with fresh water near them.

Did You Know?
Did you know that California troops who thought they were marching to a Civil War battle ended up fighting Cochise’s Apaches warriors in Apaches Pass? That July 1862 battle led to the establishment of Fort Bowie.

I think our culture may have reached the point where any deviation from the norm is filmed, broadcast, and blogged about. We have become our own anthropologists, studying the cultures of Toddlers and Tiaras or the Kardashian family as if they are alien to us and must be made sense of. From the same production company that brought you Dance Moms comes rumor of the zenith of this trend: a reality show about mothers who breastfeed children beyond the typical age.
When Time magazine featured a mother breast-feeding a three-year-old on its cover, there was outrage and debate over the acceptable age at which to breast feed, over whether breastfeeding should be allowed in public and on magazine covers, and over whether it was anyone’s business at all. Here’s my take on the last question: it isn’t.
Doctors vary in their recommendations as to how long women should be encouraged to nurse, but they seem to agree that at least one year is beneficial—the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends two. How long a woman will choose to nurse her child should be a conversation between her and her child’s pediatrician, not something the blogosphere gets to debate.
We live in a society in which public breastfeeding has been characterized as public indecency by appalled onlookers, despite laws defending women’s rights to breastfeed in public. On the other hand, television producers apparently are under the impression that viewers will eagerly tune into a show about breastfeeding women, hoping for a spectacle of strangeness at which they can gawk. Although the desire to ban and the desire to broadcast might seem like polar opposites, they might stem from one root cause: the objectification and sexualization of women’s bodies, and our culture’s attempts to control them.
The fundamental difference between feeding a baby from a bottle (an action which would never garner debate as to its acceptability, or be put on display in a reality show) and breastfeeding is simple: breasts. (Seriously, it’s like we’re back in 6th grade biology or something). Much of the debate about the sexualization of breasts came to a head earlier this month, when a photograph of a topless woman riding the New York City subway made a splash on the Internet.
For the record, that photo is “Not Safe For Work,” which is exactly my point: although female and male toplessness are equally legal in many parts of the country, including New York City, a topless woman is considered somehow different from a topless man. A photo of a shirtless man would never need to be tagged as “not worksafe,” because male chests have not been sexualized in the way that a woman’s breasts have been.
There is nothing sexual about a woman breastfeeding, no matter how old the child is. Now, let me be clear: I’m not advocating that women breastfeed until their child reaches puberty. What I am saying is that there is a certain age after which a doctor would probably recommend that a woman stop breastfeeding, we really should leave that to the doctors to decide, not our culture.
A show about breastfeeding women would be a step backwards for feminism, offering just another message that we can tell women what to do with their bodies and that the female body adds spectacle to even the most unsexy, mundane activities. What’s next, nurses in sexy costumes giving vaccinations?


There will be a town hall meeting on Thursday, August 8th from 7pm – 8pm to discuss the addition of the following language to the Pet Policy:
Small Domesticated Pets Resolution
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors: 1) has the authority to make and amend rules and regulations to supplement, enhance and clarify any of the recorded restrictions; and 2) has all of the powers and duties necessary for the administration of the affairs of the Unit Owners Association; and 3) may do all such acts and things as are not by the Condominium Act, the Declaration, or by these Bylaws required to be exercised and done by the Unit Owners Association; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 8 (8) provides that although the maintenance of animals, livestock, poultry, or reptiles of any kind is prohibited in a Unit, the keeping of small, orderly domestic pets (e.g. dogs, cats or caged birds), not to exceed one per Unit without the approval of the Board of Directors, is permitted; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it advisable for the purposes of interpreting this provision to clarify what the provision means when it uses the phrase “small, orderly domestic pets (e.g. dogs, cats, or caged birds);
NOW, THEREFORE, for the purposes of clarification and interpretation, the Board of Directors deems that the phrased “small, orderly domestic pets (e.g. dogs, cats or caged birds)” as used in Article V, Section 8 (8) of the Bylaws refers to dogs, cats and or caged birds without regard to height or weight limitations and that the term small modifies the noun “domestic pets” which could otherwise include larger pets. The parenthetical is important and instructive to the Board in that each of the pets listed as examples could have been further modified by the term “small” (e.g. “small dogs; small cats”) had the drafter intended that meaning. Furthermore, if the drafter had intended to restrict permissible dogs to small dogs, it would have set height and weight limitations as is commonly done in condominium documents. The absence of such restrictions is telling. For these reasons the Board deems that one domesticated dog, cat, or caged bird, without regard to height or weight, may be kept within a Unit; any greater number requires the prior approval of the Board of Directors.

- Backblaze went public this week after generating just $16 million in revenue in the second quarter.
- The company is valued at under $1 billion even after its IPO pop.
- In the same week, Rivian went public and is now worth over $100 billion.
Electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive, which has almost no revenue, dominated the headlines this week after raising close to $12 billion in its IPO and then watching its market cap swell past $105 billion, leapfrogging Ford and General Motors along the way.
On the far other end of the IPO market, there was Backblaze, a cloud service for backing up data.
In an era of blockbuster market debuts preceded by astronomical private financing rounds, Backblaze is a throwback to a time when sub-billion-dollar companies routinely went public to raise capital and build their profile in an effort to win the trust of customers.
Get Boston local news, weather forecasts, lifestyle and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC Boston’s newsletters.
In the year that ended June 30, Backblaze's revenue totaled $59.9 million, with second quarter sales up about 17% to $16.2 million, according to the company's prospectus.
Backblaze raised just $100 million in its offering, less than one-twentieth the amount raised this year by companies including GlobalFoundries, Robinhood and Bumble. Backblaze shares climbed 24% in their debut on Thursday and another 12% on Friday, lifting the price to $22.31 and giving the company a market cap of around $650 million.
Over 100 technology companies have listed on U.S. exchanges this year and, by the standards of its peers, Backblaze is a micro-cap. At least 21 tech companies to debut in 2021 are worth over $10 billion. Coinbase is valued above $70 billion, Roblox is over $50 billion and Affirm topped $40 billion.
Those companies all routinely tapped venture investors for hefty amounts of capital on their way to the public exchanges. Rivian raised $2.5 billion in a pre-IPO round in July. Backblaze, by contrast, had raised less than $3 million from outside investors between its formation in 2007 and earlier this year, when it issued $10 million in convertible notes.
"Over and over again investors saw that and said, 'Wow, I can't remember the last time I've seen a company looking to approach the public markets having only raised that little,'" said Backblaze co-founder and CEO Gleb Budman in an interview on Thursday after the company's market debut. "The fact that we've been able to be so capital-efficient in building the company to scale is something they were very surprised by."
One of Backblaze's competitors is Amazon, the world's fourth most valuable U.S. company. Amazon has been one of the great growth stories over the 25 years, expanding from online bookseller to giant e-commerce site to full-stack technology platform.
But when Amazon went public in 1997, the company was generating $16 million in quarterly revenue. Until about a decade ago, when the private markets started to balloon with new entrants, it was still common for tech companies to go public with valuations below $1 billion.
Backblaze executives had other reasons to go public in a highly-competitive market that features the biggest cloud services in the world from Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Backblaze currently stores two exabytes of data — that's 2 million terabytes — and has a half-million paying customers.
Budman said the IPO presented a clear opportunity to open Backblaze's books to customers and prove that it's mature enough to be a long-term technology provider.
He said the fresh capital will help the company expand its sales team as it faces off against industry heavyweights. Its B2 business, which competes with Amazon's S3 cloud storage offering, grew 61% in the second quarter.
"I actually hope us showing this is possible for a mid-market company opens the path for more companies to do this," Budman said. "It used to be that other companies went public at other sized scales. I think people have been scared of it and so waited longer and longer."

Dear Care and Feeding,
My husband and I usually have sex in the evening, for unsurprising reasons (“day is done, let’s have fun,” etc.), but we like to be able to do it whenever the mood strikes us. We have a 12-year-old son, and usually if my husband’s home, my son is home too. I want to know how to go about having sex when our son is home, now that he’s a bit older. Usually we make sure he’s busy doing something (video games or whatnot), or we’ll tell him that “we’re going to have a talk” in the bedroom and that we need privacy. He accepts all of this and doesn’t question it. Is it a big deal that we have sex at home while, say, he’s reading in the next room? We’re not particularly loud, but I don’t know what sounds carry through the walls. I just want to be considerate, and not potentially scar him or whatever.
—We Were Playing … a … Wrestling Game?
I consulted with a former sex and parenting educator for this one, who pointed out that this letter might be focused on the wrong question. It’s perhaps not so much about whether or not your kid knows you are having sex. Sex, after all, is a healthy, natural, and—under the appropriate circumstances—pretty good part of life! Twelve-year-olds know that sex happens. They know that people like sex. They probably even know that their parents have sex. So, as long as you are being conscientious and creating proper boundaries—not boning with the door wide open, leaving strap-ons in the dishwasher, or yelling “yes daddy” loud enough for half the city to hear—no damage is done by your kid just knowing that sex between his parents exists.
What is a potential issue, however, is if your kid feels neglected, alone, or uncared for because his parents are unavailable for love, caring, or recognition in that moment. Much of the pain that comes for kids when the adults in their lives are … uh … occupied is not from the activity itself but from the fact that kids can be made to feel unimportant and unwanted, as though they were a burden. This, in turn, makes them feel detached from their sense of belonging and safety. What an agonizing thing that is for a young heart to feel in its own home!
So when you guys are ready to do your thing, make sure your kid is truly and honestly occupied and happy. Make sure he knows that he can reach you if he truly needs to, that if he knocks on the door, you’ll respond without making him feel like an annoyance. Pick times in which he might not want to hear from you just as much as you may not want to hear from him. And while I know it’s hard to put a timer on such things, make sure your skyrockets don’t stay in flight for hours per session. The sad reality of parenting with older kids is that if you want true, long-form, uninterrupted boot-knocking, you’re going to have to find a kid-free weekend or something. But when the kid is home, you’ve got to get in where you fit in.
Congrats on having a great sex life with your spouse. It’s a beautiful thing, and I hope you are counting your blessings.
Dear Care and Feeding,
I have an amazingly awesome 12-year-old son who is going to two different sleep-away camps for the first time this summer. I’m excited for him and think he’s going to have a great time, but I’m also slightly concerned.
My son is 1) neurodivergent and 2) gay—he just came out a few months ago. The intersection of these two things makes him extra awesome, but also maybe complicates the current situation just a little more too. His neurological disability is well-managed, and he “passes” in most situations as an average kid, but it does have a mild impact on his social skills, especially his innate gullibility. He has a hard time ascribing any kind of ill intent to anyone, and as such, we’re finding that he isn’t always able to discern whom he can share certain pieces of information with.
This would be generally OK except that while the world has come a long way, we’re finding that among 12-year-old boys there is still a lot of homophobia and bullying of kids who are out. Our son usually takes these things in stride as much as possible, but I really worry that in a roommate situation with kids he’s never met, being the slightly socially odd kid plus having a not-great filter for sharing information plus being open about his sexuality could cause a seriously uncomfortable—and even unsafe—situation.
I love my kid, and I’m glad he feels good about himself and wants to be out and transparent in every aspect of his life. But I’m struggling with whether to try to have a talk with him about being out at camp. I don’t want him to feel like he has to hide any part of who he is; by the same token, I worry about bullying, ostracism, and physical and emotional safety if he ends up coming out and then realizing that the kid who’s sleeping in the next bunk is really not OK with having a gay roommate. I’m just not sure how to say to a kid who doesn’t do all that well with social nuance, “Hey, try to keep your identity on the D.L. unless you’re 100% confident your roommates are OK with gay people,” without it coming across as somehow shaming.
Thoughts? I know I could be worrying for no reason, but unfortunately, experience tells us that I could also be worrying for many good reasons.
—My Kid’s a Rainbow Unicorn
Dear Unicorn Parent,
You are not worrying for no reason. You are worrying because you love your kid and don’t want him harmed. I don’t know a parent who has ever sent their kid to sleep-away camp without fearing for their safety on some level, and I trust your instinct that there is reason to be cautious here.
Neither being neurodivergent nor being gay should mean your kid doesn’t get to go to camp, but it may mean that some camps are better than others for him, and I would first start by having a very detailed and open talk with the staff of these camps to determine if they are the best for your family. Have they seen this before? How do they plan on supporting him while he’s there? How does the camp work with issues of bullying and inclusion? Is there a parent community, Facebook page, or alumni group you can connect with? I would do that quickly, because I also think it is absolutely appropriate to talk with your son about the situation he’s entering into. He is old enough to provide some input on his decision, input you should take seriously and consider carefully. But he is only 12, and it is a big world. If what your research turns up doesn’t help you feel more comfortable, then I think you still reserve, at this point, the parental right of veto.
I would also look at camps for LGBTQIA youth, of which there are many. There may be a reason you didn’t mention this strategy in your letter, but whatever that reason is, it’s worth revisiting. Summer camp is about a lot of things, but the main things it’s about are fun, growth, and the experience of self-sufficiency away from home. It’s hard to have those things if a kid is afraid of bullying and abuse. Prioritize his safety and freedom over everything else, and I think your kid will have a chance at a great summer. Good luck and do let us know how it goes.

Dear Care and Feeding,
A family friend recently went through a divorce. He and his ex-wife share a 4-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son. When one parent has the kids, the other one often takes vacations to remote, sometimes dangerous, locations. They’re both experienced travelers, but an issue has recently arisen about what their respective duties should be now that they are divorced with kids. How often should the traveling parent be expected to check in with the other to let them know they’re fine and to get kid updates? Their kids are young (too young for their own phones), and while the separation took some time, the divorce and new households are very new.
—Off to the Lost City of Z
This is framed as a question about divorce, but it’s really a question about parenting, and I can’t imagine the answer would be any different if the couple were divorced or if they were vampires happily entering their 800th year of matrimony. When you have little kids, you should most assuredly check with them or the person taking care of them pretty regularly. Period. If your life is such that you have to (or get to) be away from text, internet, email, semaphore, carrier pigeons, and/or messenger falcons, well, bully for you. But you should then definitely make clear and conscientious plans with the person taking care of them about how you’ll be out of touch for a set amount of time and here’s how they can reach you in case of time-sensitive emergency.
It is natural, in a divorce, to feel a newfound sense of freedom, and to maybe even want to flex that freedom at your former partner to whom you were so resentfully chained for so long. But Rule No. 1 of parenting after divorce is you have to keep parenting after you divorce. You’re still co-parents. Your ex should know where you are, they should be able to express concern or worry about situations in which you put yourself at risk, you should take that concern or worry as seriously as you should take any feelings from a co-parent, and you should remain connected and reachable at all times where kids are involved. Divorce may mean that your marriage is over, but it does not mean your family is.
Ask a Teacher
“My daughter is a freshman in high school, and she recently got an assignment in life sciences that seems inappropriate. The assignment is for the kids to identify someone in their family who died of cancer, and then students are supposed to research that kind of cancer. They’re supposed to create a poster presentation to display for the entire school. My daughter told the teacher she thought this wasn’t a great assignment, especially since two classmates lost a close relative to cancer earlier in the school year and are still grieving. Should I step in?”

"Convinced" that they will accept the "offer"
Rosa Mara Mateo has sent the political leaders a letter asking them to choose the public entity for the debates prior to the 10-N elections
"The corporation that I have the honor of presiding has great interest in organizing different electoral debates in which we hope to have the presence of its political formation." This is what the letter says that Rosa Mara Mateo, the only provisional administrator of RTVE, has sent to the political leaders of the main parties, asking them to accept a televised debate in the public body if there are finally elections.
In the letter, to which THE WORLD has agreed, Mateo is "convinced" that the main formations will accept his "offer", since they all share the "vision of citizen service" of the public entity. The letter is dated September 16, this Monday, in which the King had already begun his round of consultations with the leaders of the parliamentary groups, to verify the possibilities of an investiture or, on the contrary, precipitate new general elections.
"In the absence of the uncertainty about the future of this incipient legislature, and at the expense of the round of consultations" convened by the King, Rosa Mara Mateo transmits to the political leaders that RTVE "is prepared to put all its energy and effort to provide, as usual, a neutral, plural and rigorous journalistic coverage of the electoral campaign, "if it ends up being celebrated.
Remember that TVE has already tendered a new set in case there were elections. ThePublic Sector Contracting PlatformHe has published the contract specifications, which is put out to tender through the simplified open procedure with a base budget of 40,000 euros. According to the direction of the public entity, these movements are made "only by anticipation" and not because the elections are already discounted.
"Proposal for debates"
"In the event that the next appointment with the polls is confirmed, the news of RTVE will send to all the political forces a proposal of debates between candidates, respectful of the Electoral Law and always subject to the supervision of theCentral Electoral Board"observes Mateo.
The sole administrator of the public entity tries to justify why it is best for the debates to be held on RTVE: "In accordance with the law of radio and state-owned television, RTVE must exercise its public service function, promoting pluralism, participation and other constitutional values, and guaranteeing the access of significant social and political groups. "
Why this defensepreventiveof the suitability of TVE to host the debates? Very simple: because of the competition that already exists, even before some hypothetical elections are called. To start, theTelevisin Academy of Sciences and ArtsI sent a letter similar to political leaders four days before RTVE, which this newspaper has also accessed.
In that letter they are asked to value that the Academy "can once again be the meeting place of all (parties and communication operators) to offer citizens the debate or debates that they consensually deem appropriate." It happens that the president of the Academy,Mara Married, who signs the letter, is also a TVE worker.

The cities of Los Angeles and Tampa Bay are seeking to be the home of multiple champions within the next week.
The Los Angeles Lakers went into the NBA bubble and did their job. Anthony Davis and LeBron James helped the Lakers capture their 17th NBA championship and bring a title back to LA after 10 years.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were in the NHL’s version of the bubble and took care of business as well. They won their 2nd Stanley Cup in the franchise’s history after a 16 year wait.
Now in the MLB the Los Angeles Dodgers are taking on the Tampa Bay Rays. The Dodgers are hoping the third time is the charm after making it to the World Series for the 3rd time in the last 4 years.
On the other side this is only the Rays 2nd time ever making a World Series appearance.
Prior to the season, the Dodgers made an all or nothing move to acquire AL MVP and 2018 World Series champion Mookie Betts from the Boston Red Sox’s. The trade has worked out thus far as the Dodgers finished with the best record in baseball this season.
Tampa Bay entered the World Series with the best record in the American League. They are led by a great pitching staff which includes starting pitchers Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Charlie Morton and closer Diego Castillo. They have been the surprise team all season long and they look to shock even more baseball fans this fall.
Games for the World Series have been held at a neutral site, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Game 1 of the World Series started off with a bang when Cody Bellinger absolutely destroyed a ball for a two-run homerun that went 378 feet. That was the start of an 8 run game for the Dodgers. The Rays could not produce enough offense to match the fire power the Dodgers came out with and ended up losing 8-3.
In Game 2 the Rays came ready to play. Brandon Lowe was a huge contributor for Tampa Bay. He started off the day with a solo shot in the first inning to give Tampa the early lead. The Rays then began packing it on to the Dodgers as the game continued and, with Blake Snell on the mound for the Rays, it was hard for the Dodgers to get in a grove.
It was not until the 5th inning with 2 outs when Snell finally lost his no hit bid to Chris Taylor who hit a 2-run homerun. The Dodgers made it a tad bit interesting with a late solo homerun by Will Smith, but it was not enough to take the lead and win the game. Dodgers ended up losing 6-4 in game 2.
With the series tied at 1 at the time of writing, the hopes for an LA Dodger sweep is out of the door. By the looks of it, this is going to be a hard-fought series between a big market and a small market team, a David vs Goliath type battle.
The World Series will continue through Oct 28 if a game 7 is necessary so within the next week it will be determined which city will be the city of champions for 2020.


For those of you who’re waiting with bated breath for the launch of the, there’s some good news. The German automaker is gearing up for the launch of their flagship series. A camouflaged variant of the all-new 2018 Mercedes S-Class sedan is spotted a few days back during its driving in the city and in the mountain. Here, we present you every detail about what you can expect in the upcoming models.
New Mercedes S-Class 2018 Interior
The two displays which constitute the infotainment system and the instrument cluster may be slightly larger than the ones seen in the current model. Also, the buttons between them will be removed to make them appear like one big screen. Sources suggest that Mercedez is working on a gesture-control feature, similar to the one found in new BMW 7-Series launched in 2016. Another important update will be the inclusion of a new steering wheel with touch-sensitive buttons. This feature, which detects swipes in all directions just like a cell phone screen, allows the driver to control the infotainment system using his thumbs. Other major change in the cabin could include a fresh design for the front seats.

2018 Mercedes S-Class Changes
The current S-Class’s exterior is flawless, so we don’t think Mercedes will make any significant changes to it, especially to the vehicle’s main frame. Photographs of the test cars clearly show multibeam headlamps and a revised bumper with a redesigned center vent and side intakes. Also, the grille in the front gets a face-lift with three double-horizontal slats instead of the four-slat arrangement that’s found in the current S-Class models. However, the new sedan’s rear portion, including the trunk lid, the tail lights, the chrome trim and the bumper, doesn’t feature major changes.
Many industry experts are predicting that the upcoming S-Class cars can be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission system. Although there isn’t much information about the engines of the new 2018 Mercedes S-Class. Seems like the Mercedes may retune the current engines to produce extra power, better fuel economy, faster acceleration and better torque. The base S-Class models, namely the S550, S550 4Matic, will feature the same 4.7-liter, bi-turbo V8 engine whereas the S550e will receive a 3.0-liter V6 coupled with an electric motor. The V8 churns out 449 horsepower while the V6 generates 329 horsepower. The most powerful variant in the S-Class, the S600, will get a 6.0 liter V12 that creates a mammoth 625 horses. With that being said, we do not expect the facelifted versions of any of these variants to receive more than 15 additional horses.

Compared to the current models, the upcoming S-Class may receive a price hike. The starting price of the S550 and S550e is $95,650 while the S550 4Matic begins at $95,650. The S600, on the other hand, is available from $169,050.
The 2018 Mercedes S-Class may be out in the market in April 2017, but this is only a speculation since the German automaker has not yet confirmed a release date.
Though the S-Class has carved a niche for itself, the new line of sedans will face tough competition from the likes of BMW 7 Series , Audi A8, Jaguar XJL, and the Cadillac CT6.

Researchers have published a report in journal Science that show how new remote sensing maps of the forest canopy in Peru helps test the strength of current forest protections and identify new regions for conservation effort.
Greg Asner and his Carnegie Airborne Observatory team used their signature technique, called airborne laser-guided imaging spectroscopy, to identify preservation targets by undertaking a new approach to study global ecology–one that links a forest’s variety of species to the strategies for survival and growth employed by canopy trees and other plants. Or, to put it in scientist-speak, their approach connects biodiversity and functional diversity.
The study of biodiversity traditionally uses fieldwork to inventory the types of species living in a habitat. And current Earth-observing satellites cannot observe forests with this level of detail. Asner and his flying laboratory team were able to bridge this gap between field biodiversity studies and satellite-based mapping by revealing the distribution and concentrations of the key plant chemicals that indicate a forest canopy’s function as well as its identity.
Their approach works because plants are like individual chemical factories, taking in nutrients, water and carbon, and synthesizing a portfolio of products. Measuring the concentrations of different chemicals over large swaths of the forest canopy indicates what strategies plants are employing for growth and survival, and how these strategies vary by geography, topography, hydrology, and climate.
Major risks to tropical forests in Peru include gold mining, oil palm plantations, and cattle ranching, which have spurred the majority of a 500 percent increase in deforestation since 2010, in addition logging and oil exploration, according to Carnegie’s project partner, the Peruvian Ministry of Environment (MINAM). Despite ongoing forest losses, the Carnegie and MINAM team was able to find about 30 million acres of biologically unique lowland Amazonian forest and 7 million acres of peatland forest in northern Peru that could be conserved, as well as 1.5 million acres of distinct submontane and high Andean forests that are highly threatened.
Asner and an international network of colleagues are now ready to take the Carnegie approach to Earth orbit.

QPR boss Hughes targets Samba and Drogba in transfer window
You can’t read an interview with Mark Hughes without the word ‘ambition’ being used at least a dozen times – and he’s certainly got plenty of it if the latest transfer rumours are to be believed.
Hughes took over as QPR boss earlier in the week and has immediately set about looking to add new players to his relegation-threatened side.
According to the Daily Mail, he is hoping to bag Blackburn Rovers defender Chris Samba and will table a bid of around £7million to get the centre-half.
Hughes was the man who signed Samba for Rovers when he snapped up the Congolese for £450,000 in 2007 and rumours suggest the pair could be reunited in west London.
QPR have the fifth worst defence in the Premier League this term so there is no denying a player of Samba’s calibre would help their survival bid, however, it’s at the other end of the pitch that they are having real problems.
The Hoops have the third worst attack in the top tier of English football and have only scored more than one goal in a game once in their last nine matches.
They have been relying on veteran striker Heidar Helgusonto bag them the goals and, according to several newspapers, it’s a problem that Hughes looks set to address with a bid for Didier Drogba.
The Chelsea striker is out of contract in the summer and Hughes will hope to convince the Blues to get rid of the player for some cash this January.
However, money isn’t exactly an issue for Chelsea and if Hughes was to sign Drogba – and it’s a big ‘if’ – then he will probably have to wait until the summer.
QPR are currently 2/1 to be relegated following Hughes’ arrival but expect those odds to lengthen if his ambitious transfer swoops come off.

The interaction between hybrid and inoculant
only affected (p = 0.008) acetate concentration.
In occasion of the sowing, the inoculant
was added over the 200g of already treated seeds, and the plastic bags were agitated until total distribution of the inoculant
"A quality inoculant
prevents the growth of any non-desirable micro-organisms while silage made from molasses encourages the growth of micro-organisms."According to him, a good quality inoculant
allows preservation of energy and prevents oxidation of sugars.
The addition of PFJ and LAB inoculant
had no influence on LAB, total mesophilic bacteria (TMB), mold and yeast numbers of the silages.
Single, dual and consortium of Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megaterium, and Glomus fasciculatum with different level of NPK fertilizers were tested in a glass house experiment to find out the effects of different microbial inoculants
on growth parameters in Capsicum.
Another possible explanation was that in ensiled fodder, homofermentative bacterial inoculant
was applied that consisting of Lactobacillus plantrum.
Preinoculation of treated seeds with all three Cronos Technologies promoted nodulation (number and biomass) that was not significantly different from the peat-based inoculant
control applied at planting, but was significantly higher than either the uninoculated or the N controls, even when inoculation was performed as early as seven (CronosNod) or 35 (CronosTSI) days before planting (Table 4).
Although literature summaries are encouraging, caution should be used when interpreting such data because all inoculants
are not equal and the conditions (e.g., rate of application, inoculant
viability, bacteria strain used as additives, crop, environmental temperature, wilting period, and moisture levels) varied markedly among the studies.
The utilized inoculant
contained 2 x [10.sup.8] viable cells per mL of the commercial product.
The specificity helps as a basis for forecasting the need to inoculate plants, for choosing the species for infection, and for making suitable Rhizobium inoculants
for a variety of legume species.
However, the eutectic cell count with IM R75 inoculant
had the best results with 2.0 cells [mm.sup.-2]; followed by inoculation with G-20, with an average of 1.5 cells [mm.sup.-2] and followed by inoculation with IM- 22 with 0.9 cells [mm.sup.-2].

Selected by Quentin Tarantino for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Fest in Austin, Texas, 1996. See more »
In the final battle scene, Steve Ross and Han-Soo are fighting off the Japanese troops armed with sub-machine guns. Both these guns appear to be Thompson sub-machine guns which it would have been impossible to obtain in Japan. The only Japanese submachine gun was the Type 100 model which was of a markedly different appearance to the Thompson. See more »
This film had some ridiculous comments and an immature slant to the Japanese
This film is almost camp in its sophomoric racism. As a member of a minority that has also experienced this kind of dehumanization at a time when this was not at all uncommon I think that this movie has value as an example of what generations ..even my own daughter will never believe unless they see it. I think we all need these movies in their uncut form as a reminder (embarrassing though it is to the filmmakers) of how dumb we can get with these kinds of issues. I speak as a minority and as a fellow brother to all of you reading this. This is not shocking and the Japanese I am sure have the self confidence (as does my minority group) to point at this as a laughable example of white racism in its most childish form. It does not inspire hate for the whites who made it ...it inspires incredulity and empathy in me personally because it is truly embarrassing. I am sure it is the whites who would most like to eradicate this film and forget they (or the few who believed this) ever exhibited this kind of insipid point of view. It was an emotional time. Sometimes emotions make us say and think stupid things. This movie is an example.

The Castelli Women’s Venere Skort combines a high-end, 6-panel cycling short with a stylish skirt for a skort that feels as good as it looks, even after miles in the saddle. The SoftFlex synthetic fabric not only feels as soft as cotton to the touch, but it also stretches to allow for great range of motion, and wicks away moisture to keep you dry and comfortable in the blistering heat of summer. Castelli’s Venere starts with the idea that a skort must stay in place in order for it to be comfortable. So, designers created a curved waistband out of Action Power Lycra that offers gentle compression and is abrasion resistant. Inside the waistband is lightweight elastic to make sure it holds. When you put the skort on, you’ll find that the waistband is higher in the back and lower in the front. This position keeps the skort in place and keeps the jersey sitting on top, rather than exposing skin. The front is low enough so that you don’t feel like you’re holding in your stomach or like it’s preventing you from breathing deeply. The chamois on the Venere is the KISS3 Donna women-specific seat pad. It’s smaller and a bit wider than the men’s. The Kiss3 chamois uses a seamless construction of brushed microfiber to avoid any chaffing, and the pad is anatomically shaped to help follow your movements. The variable-density design provides more padding where you need it and less where you don’t. The Castelli Women’s Venere Skort comes in Black/white, White/black, and Black/cyclamen and is available in five sizes from X-Small through X-Large. The legs have a 6.5 inch inseam.
