Police near Osaka, western Japan, scrambled to round up the porky rebels as they trotted cheerfully along the hard shoulder of the Hanshin Expressway on Thursday after the truck carrying them collided with another vehicle.
It was a case of little piggies not going to the market - at least on schedule - as 19 of the 37 creatures on board executed a daring breakout, according to local media.
Traffic was halted as the defiant pigs opted for a more scenic route to the slaughter house and frolicked on the side of the highway, oblivious to the commotion they were causing motorists.
Local police, who chased the perky swine for five hours, said the farm truck hit another car while the 61-year-old driver was overtaking, resulting in damage to the cage holding the animals.

Last year, an ostrich made a similar attempt to live life in the fast lane by breaking out of a cage atop a speeding truck while being transported to a zoo and led Japanese police on a frantic chase along the highway.

AFPThe press conference in Copenhagen
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 18:48
The Danish government is going to introduce a bill that would prohibit public damage to Korans and other religious books. This was announced by the government at a press conference.
Recently, protests have been regularly organized in the country in which Korans have been destroyed, burned or torn up. This led to tense relations with countries where many Muslims live. The Danish government was forced to temporarily tighten border controls.
Justice Minister Hummelgaard said at the press conference that there are “more civilized ways of expressing opinions than burning things”. According to the minister, the actions have no other purpose than “creating discord and hatred”. The government wants to punish the actions with a fine or a prison sentence of up to two years.
‘We also have a racism provision’
Some Danish opposition parties believe that a ban violates freedom of expression. But Foreign Minister Rasmussen defended the upcoming law before: “We don’t have complete freedom of expression: we also have a racism provision. There are limits to what one can say.”
It is not known when parliament in Copenhagen will vote on the bill.
Correspondent Rolien Créton:
“The government initially wanted an amendment to the law that would put an end to burning the Quran, but decided to formulate the law more broadly. This is partly because the protests against the Quran were very diverse, such as tearing it up or kicking it. And a A Danish-Swedish right-wing extremist has smeared the Koran with pig’s blood, so that will also be a criminal offence.
At the press conference, the government was very clear about why they want the law: for security reasons. Quran burnings have led to an increased terror threat and are considered a threat to national security.
The problem, according to the government, is that the images are distributed via a live stream. The images also show the police standing around the Koran burning to protect the demonstrators. That may give the impression that Denmark as a society is behind those actions, said the foreign minister. They want to prevent escalation.”
Koran burnings have also taken place in Sweden recently. In that country, the threat level has been raised to the second highest level.
In the Netherlands, Pegida foreman Edwin Wagensveld tore up a Koran at the Turkish embassy in The Hague last week. That led to the Dutch deputy ambassador being summoned by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday. A Danish diplomat was also summoned.

Choosing the right size, shape and placement of implant is part art, part science and requires an in person exam. Having said that, high profile is not going to give you a subtle look. Which may be what you want. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your ideal option. Best, Dr. Nazarian
In recommending implant size, I consider my patients' anatomy (chest height, weight, shape, existing breast tissue) as well as their desired look. Please share your "wish" photos with your plastic surgeon. After examining your body and understanding your goal, your plastic surgeon will make a recommendation.
Implants come in different type (saline, silicone), shape (anatomic, round), volume, and profile. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes,
Low profile is great for a sublte change. High profile is NOT subtle. There is a happy medium with moderate or moderate plus profile (depending on teh manufacturer). That is what most of my patients use because most have had children and need a little extra help. If using Allergan Inspira for your width, low would be 170cc, low-plus is 190cc, moderate is 240cc and high is 265. Those are just guidelines. Having said that, I think you could definately pull off the 265cc high profile implant. Gel implants under the muscle almost always look natural.
Thank you for your question and photos. You could probably select from a moderate, high or even extra high profile. the width will remain more or less the same and as volume increases, the projection grows. I recommend that you talk with your Plastic Surgeon about your goals and expectations and try on sizers in office. My patients find this is a great way to get a feel for the implant sizes.
All the best
Thin, narrow patients often do better with high profile implants if they want to be fairly large. Best to be seen in perosn
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided pictures with information as well. I suggest you to get a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. I recommend you to have high profile with no more than 280 cc's under the muscle
Thank you for your question and photos. Keep in mind that a high profile implant will give you a more "augmented" look with further projection than a moderate profile implant. That being said, it would most likely take more than 240 cc's for a high profile implant to look natural on you give the projection. It seems the 240 cc moderate profile implants will give you a natural look that would suit your frame well.
All the best,
Thanks for the photos; I think that if you are really looking to go as large as your body would suit, then perhaps high profile implants may be a reasonable choice.
Since you know your breast width, you can look at the various volumes of implants that would go with that width. For example, for your width, maybe a low profile would give you 180mL, a moderate profile implant would give you 240mL and a high profile implant would give you 300mL. I usually have patients decide about how much volume they would like to add (with the use of sizers) and then I help them narrow down the ultimate implant selection based upon the volumes associated with each profile.
It is best to choose and implant which has a diameter closer to your breast diameter. This will produce the most natural result. .If you have a narrow chest and wish to have more volume, the high profile devices are often the best choice. Careful measurements and use of sizers during you consultation will help to determine your expectations and the best implant choice. Best wishes.
Certainly with a narrow chest and breast width like yours a high profile implant can get you the most volume! There's some limitations to how big I'd recommend but you could likely go as large as 450 - that would take a long time to stretch and relax the skin and muscle. Just know that the larger you go the more unnatural a result and the potential for complications. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon that will choose based on your measurements and will listen to your expectations. Best wishes.

AGCC PRESS RELEASE GEORGE FLOYD MURDER
Africa Global Chamber of Commerce (AGCC) condemns the “murder” of an unarmed black man George Floyd and call for ending police brutality and racial inequities
Chicago, Illinois – (Saturday, June 06, 2020) – Africa Global Chamber of Commerce (AGC) leadership and staff present sincere heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of R.I.P George Floyd. We are shocked and troubled by the widespread acts of racist attacks and murders committed against all Black people. A white police officer surrounded by his three colleagues took the life of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in 9 minutes of “I CAN’T BREATHE.” Communities, not just Black, are outraged, fatigued, perplexed, exasperated, and yes, TIRED of being “sick and tired” over police officers (whites specifically) murdering Black people in broad daylight with impunity. All communities call justice for George Floyd and demand the United States Society to end POLICE BRUTALITY and the RACIAL INEQUITIES: economic fairness, economic justice, economic inclusion, social justice, and all forms of racism.
Olivier Kamanzi, Chairman of Boards AGCC and African Diaspora Sixth Region Association of Illinois, says: “I call more justice for George Floyd and all Black people, his savage murder by the white police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota demonstrates that the historical racial injustice and white supremacist behaviors are still real and prevailing in America. How many blacks more must be murdered for America to wake up and stop racial injustice and racism that most of the time lead to incarceration and murder of innocent blacks? Yesterday, it was Ahmaud Arbery, Tamir Rice, Kevin Matthews, Keith Childress, Amadou Diallo, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Laquan McDonald, and today is George Floyd. Who is next? Are we going to wait for other victims? The response is NO. Police Officers must protect people and not murder them. America needs economic and social CHANGE: implementation of new policies and constitution that protect and empower all Blacks and People of Colors”.
“We need to leverage this tragic incident to galvanize the support needed to implement long lasting legal reforms that can end systemic racism. I hope that our youth will not lose focus after a few weeks and that they will continue to push for change”, said, Tammie Krauskopf, Member of Board AGCC and Trade Lawyer
“In times like this we have to ask ourselves what kind of world we want to live in? A world where we allow the atrocities committed by authority to be ignored and excused or a world where we strive to embody the principles on which our country was founded – true equality for all? It will never be perfect but if we commit to standing up for what is right, to not remain silent, we can create a world in which our children can prosper … a world where all children regardless of race, sex or religion can prosper… a world of which we can be proud”, stressed, Amber Johns, Vice-Chair of Board AGCC and International Corporate and Compliance Attorney.
Demitrus Evans, Secretary of Board AGCC, International Business Lawyer, and Founder of The TEEP Project for the innocently incarcerated, says, “The murder of Mr. Floyd and other black men and women at the hands of racist police is just a reminder of the relics of slavery for me. For 400 years, slave ships sailed with black people dying in mass and considered products. Mistreatment is an understatement for what black people all over the globe (and probably in space if it’s figured out) have had to and continues to endure at the hands of an oppressive system. No, it’s not any of the particular cops or police forces and other outlandish forces responsible for the current black plight. They have watched us kill each other, and they are not convinced that Black Lives Matter. It’s the current system this at fault, a system where everyone has learned how to treat black people with mistrust. We have even learned not to trust each other or ourselves. The Youth at this point in history has it correct, the Black Lives Matter platform is well thought out, and it begins with a defund and dismantle of the current police tactics, full training, and complete accountability. The sleep must awake. We must all speak out for change. Movements like this are relatively rare, but so is a pandemic. I’m ready for our revolution! Let the change begin..”

Kampala — The International Monetary Fund has downgraded Uganda's 2011/12 growth by one percentage point to 4 per cent, saying the crisis in the Eurozone is likely to slow progress of the economy.
This is the first time in more than 5 years that the IMF has projected Uganda's growth below 5 per cent. The downgraded growth is an indication that Uganda's economy has this time round been weakened by both external and domestic factors.
Speaking in an interview, Mr Thomas Richardson, the IMF resident representative, told Daily Monitor: "Growth in Uganda will slowdown in 2011/12 than earlier projected mainly due to the weaker global economy."
Late last year Bank of Uganda revised the country's growth to 5 per cent down from a 6.7 per cent. Uganda, in 2011 endured some of its worst economic indicators exacerbated by high inflation, high interest rates, scarcity of key commodities and power shortages among others.
Mr Richardson said: "There's a lot of uncertainty about what will happen in Europe but given the current baseline forecast for the Eurozone, we think growth in Uganda will be between 4 and 5 per cent." According to Mr Richardson, the slowdown in the Eurozone will be felt through reduced demand for exports and tourism.
Reacting to the matter, Dr Adam Mugume, the Bank of Uganda director for research said economic activity is slowing down but not necessarily stagnated," adding that the country's widening current account requires financing through increases in exchange inflows.

Potential distribution of two invasive pineapple pests under climate change.
BACKGROUND: The number of global invasive species has significantly increased during the past two centuries due to globalization. The understanding of species invasion under climate change is crucial for sustainable biodiversity conservation, community dynamics, ecosystem function, and resource distribution. Two invasive species, Dysmicoccus brevipes(Cockerell) and D. neobrevipes (Beardsley) have greatly expanded their ranges during recent years. These insects are now considered as extremely serious pests for various plants, especially pineapple. In addition, they are the primary vectors for pineapple wilt associated virus. However, the potential distribution range and management strategies for these pests are unclear. RESULTS: In this study, potential risk maps were developed for these pests with MaxEnt (maximum entropy) based on occurrence data under different environmental variables. The potential distributions of these pests were projected for 2050s and 2070s under three climate change scenarios as described in the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Results showed that both pests have similar potential distributions, with high environmental suitability in South America, Africa and South Asia. In addition, potential range expansions or reductions were predicted under different climate change scenarios. The annual mean temperature was the most important factor, accounting for 43.4% of D. brevipes distribution. The minimum temperature of coldest month and mean temperature of coldest quarter was found to be responsible for 90.3% of D. neobrevipes distribution. CONCLUSION: This research provided a theoretical reference framework to develop policies in the management and control of these invasive pests.

Most railroad equipment built after the pioneering 1845-1850 era was indeed built on rails that were tied into the national system of standard gauge rail lines. Rogers in Patterson NJ had an interesting quirk in it's history. It was over a mile from any trackage tied into the rest of the country's network. So, Rogers had their locomotives, some as large as 120 ton Pacifics, hauled through the streets of Patterson by draft horses pulling wagons or dollies. What a sight that must have been!
Non-standard gauge (wide or narrow) equipment was loaded on flatcars for moves to where they were transferred to their owners rails, or a same-gauge connection's rails.
I can't wait to get back to school now with these answers. Thank you all. I will also check out the links you supplied.
I love when a student asks a question and I can go back with such a solid answer.

“As a strategy of resistance and protest, nonviolence is often seen as passive and resolutely individual. Butler’s philosophical inquiry argues that it is in fact a shrewd and even aggressive collective political tactic.” – The New York Times
The police have always been used as a tool for the social control of minority populations and to protect the power and property of the elite. A reading list that puts the call for the abolishment of the police in historical context.
What about the role of women in the Sex Offense movement and their relationship to feminism, victims’ rights organizations, and survivors themselves? That role and that relationship are surprising and complex. For while there are many men in both the leadership and the rank and file—and of course, the objects of the laws are almost all men—the registrants’ rights movement is a women’s movement.

Uni-Mail Offers Data Card System
"We consider it to be much more of a marketing tool than other systems out there," said Mike Bryant, president of Uni-Mail, New York. "It allows you to get into much finer levels of data, specifically, product selections and subsets of products."
The data card system was developed inhouse at Uni-Mail about 12 years ago for internal use by list brokers and managers. In 1995, Uni-Mail licensed Cards for Windows to one firm, Adrea Rubin Marketing Inc.
"Uni-Mail's Cards for Windows is the thinking broker's system," said Adrea Rubin, CEO of Adrea Rubin Marketing, New York. "By far, Uni-Mail's Cards for Windows -- the system we've been on since 1995 -- surpasses any other query system that I've ever used."
With more than 25 years in the industry, Rubin has used several data card systems in the past.
After a major upgrade three years ago, Uni-Mail initiated plans to market the system within the entire list industry, Bryant said.
"We've spent a very large amount of money, and we see this as an opportunity to offer a superior product and make a little money at the same time," he said.
Cards for Windows contains more than 20,000 data cards for consumer and fundraising files. Data cards in the system contain information such as subject, category, selects, demographic data, average unit of sale, list type, source and parent company. The system allows searches to be conducted by list name, list code, list manager, family, standard industrial classification code, subject and others.
Also, the query feature allows brokers to type in criteria for specific clients to locate new lists.
A demonstration of Cards for Windows can be found at www.uni-mail.com/cardsdemo. Interested parties can e-mail email@example.com for more information.


BRYAN, Tex. (KBTX ) - Signals continue to be consistent to bring an active weather pattern to the State of Texas as we close out the final days of May.
While the odds are low, isolated spots of rain to a stray thunderstorm will be possible both Friday and Saturday afternoons to early evening.
A more widespread chance for wet weather, thunderstorms, and localized heavy rain arrives in the forecast Sunday and again Memorial Day Monday.
As a rainmaker -- an area of low pressure -- gets cut off from the main jet stream, it is expected to sit over the Texas Panhandle for much of the upcoming week. If that happens, daily rounds of rain and rumbles will be possible for at least parts of the area.
More details, what is currently expected, and what it could look like can be found in the video above.

This research study is now complete
Why do we need this research?
The cervix is important in making sure a baby isn’t born too early. It not only keeps the baby inside the womb until labour, but also helps stop infections from entering the womb and hurting the baby. We already know that premature birth can be a result of something going wrong with the cervix. However, at the moment we’re not sure how the cervix normally works to stop the baby from being born too soon.
What’s happening in this project?
As a first step to help us understand more about the cervix’s role in humans, researchers supported by Tommy’s are looking at pregnancies in mice. In this project, our scientists developed a new way to study in mice how the cervix is involved in premature birth. By damaging cells in the cervixes of pregnant mice, the team believed that the mice would be less able to stop infections from entering the womb, and that they will then give birth early.
Our scientists showed for the first time that damage to the cervix does increases infections that are known to be linked to preterm birth. This information is crucial to help develop new treatments to prevent this from happening.=
What difference will this project make?
This project has provided new insights about how the cervix stops infections from reaching the womb, and so prevents premature birth. This will help our researchers develop better tools to identify which women are at risk of preterm labour. It could also lead to treatments to better manage and potentially stop babies being born too early.

Riley says to tell all her “furiends” that crates are boring and to bust out of one as soon as you get an opportunity (her opportunity just won’t present itself for another 5 weeks)!! I took some of her kibble, wet it, stuffed it inside a green Kong-type squirrel dude toy, and froze it, then gave it to her to keep her busy…the crazy dog decided she wanted to hide it in her crate instead…
Trying to hide it in her dog bed… We’re beginning our 3rd week of crate rest. She will hopefully get sprung from the crate on December 14th, after her follow-up appointment at the surgeon’s office.
She is doing so very well. A little too well…she tried to take off after a bird this afternoon outside but she was on her leash, so she just got to the end of her 6 foot leash and then had to stop. Bummer! 🙂 Her leg is looking great! I’ve posted a fairly grainy picture of her incision, so just use your imagination. Her PT is going well. She usually lasts the whole 10 minutes of therapy, unless of course, she’s being all riled up and wanting to roach around on the carpet during therapy…sigh.
You can see a little bit where her incision was and her fur is growing back in now!
Oh, and today, I renewed Riley’s Therapy Dogs International registration so she can make visits in 2012!

DIRTY LAUNDRY: Giuliani’s finances while serving as Trump’s Cybersecurity Advisor are hung out to dry in divorce proceedings
Rudy Giuliani has earned $14 million since January 2017. How much of that was paid by foreign governments, and what did it get them?
Rudy Giuliani, the President’s Cybersecurity Advisor and TV lawyer, has requested that the judge in his divorce proceedings issue a gag order for all parties, according to recent court reporting. The reason is not difficult to figure out— earlier this year, Giuliani’s soon-to-be ex-wife Judith (Nathan) Giuliani gave a scathing insider account detailing Giuliani’s concerning behavior and activities over the last two years. She also hinted at more to come.
Now, divorce court filings threaten to publicly reveal the extent of Giuliani’s personal enrichment as he’s traveled the globe representing himself as Trump’s Cybersecurity Advisor. At the hearing on November 7, Giuliani’s divorce lawyer Faith Miller was forced to disclose that over the last two years, Giuliani has earned “$9 million in 2017 and a little under $5 million this year — but…there’s not enough left over after his own fiscal obligations to fund his wife’s current lifestyle.”
So far, the focus has been on the more tabloid-esque details surrounding how that money was spent — revealing a world of lavish indulgence and extravagant purchases. In court, Nathan’s lawyer Bernard Clair claimed that Giuliani has spent “nearly $900,000 since April, while simultaneously cutting (Nathan) off from their credit cards.” Of that, her lawyer said $286,532 had gone “to support his alleged mistress, Maria Rosa Ryan”, $447,938 was spent on “his own enjoyment”, and $165,165 was paid in “travel expenses”.
While those spending trails are important for determining the legality of Giuliani’s professional tight rope act, there is another question that must now be urgently answered: Who has paid the President’s Cybersecurity Advisor an accumulated $14 million for international “security consulting” services?
When Giuliani was originally tapped for the role of as Trump’s Cybersecurity Advisor in January 2017, he stressed that “the federal government is far behind the private sector companies” and described his task as “to travel the world to find leading experts and introduce them and their ideas to Trump”.
Giuliani told Politico at the time that he would “stay in the private sector” and “would never use my access — I’m not a lobbyist. I’m not going to do any lobbying. I just do solutions.” But as time has revealed, the “cyber commission” Giuliani touted would identify “public-private partnerships” to strengthen U.S. cybersecurity appears to have fall apart before it ever started. Instead, Giuliani has spent the majority of his time working with foreign government officials and political groups from Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, MEK, Romania, Armenia, and others.
While Giuliani insists he has done “no lobbying” — political activities that would require registration as a Foreign Agent under FARA laws— primary open source evidence lays bare this claim. Specifically, my reports here, here, and here have detailed Giuliani’s potential FARA violations while working on behalf of Ukrainian government officials — activities that consistently appear to interfere with and influence U.S. policy.
Beginning in May 2017, Giuliani Security and Safety LLC kicked-off a contract with the City of Kharkiv, Ukraine and it’s Mayor, former Party-of-Regions leader Gennady Kernes. That June, Giuliani traveled to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. While there, “Trump’s Advisor” gave a talk on international security, met with President Petro Poroshenko, and landed a second private security contract — this time with the City of Kiev, whose Mayor Vitali Klitschko was a former client of Giuliani’s. Although specific terms and dollar amounts for both contracts are unknown, they represent some portion of Giuliani’s $14 million in claimed income.
On a second visit to Ukraine in November 2017, Giuliani spoke on behalf of the U.S. government during a widely-publicized meeting with Kharkiv Mayor Kernes. There, he assured Kharkiv officials he would get the U.S. to create a “support office for Kharkiv.”
After departing Kharkiv, Giuliani traveled on to Kiev where he met for a second time with President Poroshenko. The parties discussed “ways to overcome Russian aggression against Ukraine. The President noted special importance of Ukraine-USA cooperation in cyber security sphere.”
New reporting yesterday re-confirms what my independent research first revealed back in May 2018. In a new feature article about Pavel Fuchs in Ukrainian media, the oligarch echoed Giuliani’s promise and the expectation he would deliver. Fuchs was quoted as saying that Giuliani is working to “create a US office for supporting investment in the city.”
And there’s no reason to assume that he couldn’t. Just this past March, a delegation from Kharkiv traveled to New York City to meet again with Giuliani. According to the press release issued by Triglobal Strategic Ventures, the Kharkiv delegation was granted a private tour to “study the setup and experience of the Offices for Public Security and Offices for Emergency Management in the states of New York and New Jersey”.
One of the stranger aspects of Giuliani’s nebulous foreign dealings is his relationship with Cottage Hospital Administrator Dr. Maria Ryan, with whom Page Six first reported Giuliani was having an affair.
In late March 2018, Giuliani traveled to Ryan’s small 25-bed rural Cottage Hospital to oversee it’s IT team as it transitioned their 20 million patients records to a new AthenaHealth cloud. It is unknown whether Giuliani was paid by AthenaHealth or another party for these services.
In May, Giuliani bizarrely appeared in a Florida court to represent Dr. Ryan’s daughter in a fraud case, escorted into the courtroom by 10 Broward County Sheriff’s deputies. When asked for comment after the hearing, Giuliani said: “Vanessa has been working for me as an assistant for several months and she’s terrific…I’ve also known her whole family. Her mother is a doctor I’ve known for years and her dad was a great Marine. This is the least I can do.”
In June, Giuliani was accompanied by both Dr. Ryan and her daughter Vanessa on a trip to Israel, where they toured Hadassah Medical Organization — a hospital that was bailed out from massive debt by Netanyahu in 2015. Last year, Hadassah announced a partnership with Skolkovo Innovation Center in Moscow, headed by Ukrainian-born Russian businessman Viktor Vekselberg.
Giuliani has denied the affair with Dr. Ryan, begging the obvious question coming out of Giuliani’s divorce hearing: Why has Rudy Giuliani spent nearly $300,000 since April on “expenses” for Dr. Maria Ryan?
In court last week, Giuliani’s lawyer said the allegations he had “opened his wallet” for Ryan had been “debunked” — although it is unclear what she meant by this. Miller also said of a $90,000 sum that supposedly went toward jewelry for Ryan, “some of it was for Mr. Giuliani, some of it was for gifts for other people.”
Nathan’s lawyer, on the other hand, claimed that “expenses for these people are continuing while (Nathan) has not received any direct support since August of this year.” Clair accused Giuliani of paying a total of $286,000 to Dr. Ryan over a five-month period beginning this April.
Complicating the picture (or perhaps clarifying it), Dr. Ryan’s involvement in Iranian politics is well-known among fellow Iran hawks like Giuliani. Traveling to Paris together in June, the pair attended the annual conference of Mujahadeen-e-Kak (MEK), an Iranian opposition-in-exile group. While Nathan insists this is more evidence of an affair, the facts also point to a business relationship yet to be fully understood.
Last Wednesday, New York Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz said he would issue a ruling on the gag order request, but urged the two parties to work through their issues privately before seeking third-party discovery. “It is beyond me why this is done publicly… throwing out all [your] dirty laundry for consumption,” Judge Katz said.
Perhaps Judith Nathan is trying to shine a light on something the American public needs to see.


FARGO, N.D. — A Fargo company known for its high-tech aviation and agricultural electronics entrepreneurship has stepped up to manufacture machines to supplement hospital ventilators in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
Barry Batcheller, chairman of the board of Appareo Systems of Fargo, confirmed what North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum revealed in his daily pandemic briefing on Monday, March 30.
Batcheller said the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services contacted the company late last week to see if they could provide technology for emergency ventilators.
Appareo, for whom Batcheller’s son, David Batcheller, is president and chief executive officer, is a manufacturer of devices and was “looking around to get involved in this type of thing,” Barry says.
David Batcheller said that as the governor described in his press briefing, the public and private sector partnerships are key to being able to move quickly toward finding solutions to help our state and nation during this unprecedented time.
“As a privately-held North Dakota based technology company who has the ability to do rapid proof of concept work, we have the fortunate ability to move incredibly fast, and we are excited to contribute to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic,” David Batcheller said.
North Dakota has about 400 of the more sophisticated hospital ventilators that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and which Barry Batcheller understands are worth about $30,000. The devices Appareo makes would be less expensive — certainly less than $2,000 each — and used when the more sophisticated device is not available.
“Hopefully, they’ll never be used,” he said.
Appareo officials contacted the University of Minnesota, which some weeks ago began working on a program for manufacturing emergency devices. Barry says the University of Minnesota was also working with companies Boston Scientific and Medtronic for participating in a development of a device that would be available on an “open source” design, meaning the design would be available to all manufacturers during the crisis.
Dr. Stephen Richardson, a University of Minnesota cardiac anesthesiologist, had invented the machine and has done some live animal testing and has applied to the FDA for emergency use authorization. The university sent Appareo its drawings last week.
"We believe that this could be easily scaled in many, many different designs," Richardson said in a video produced by the university.
Some Appareo engineers volunteered to work overtime to create the first prototype.
Production at Appareo could start late this week. About 10 to 12 workers will work shifts around the clock to make the devices. The company will make about 2,000 of them, which will be the property of the state for emergency preparedness.
Batcheller referenced a device that is sold under the brand name Ambu bag and also is known generically as a manual resuscitator or self-inflating bag. The device, often the kind seen on ambulances, is where someone physically pushes a squeeze ball, using the device to respirate a patient.
“If we run out of FDA-certified hospital ventilators, what do you do?” Batcheller says. “You can’t put this Ambu bag on them. You need a mechanical assist that you can put in, that squeezes the bag and allows number of patients to be ventilated.”
Batcheller, a native of New York, came to Fargo to attend North Dakota State University in the 1960s and got an engineering degree. He worked for Steiger Tractor Co. in Fargo in the 1970s, and then Case-IH, and in 1987 was among those starting Phoenix International, a company created by former Steiger officials. Phoenix in 1999 was sold to Deere & Co. In 2003, Batcheller initially worked for Deere but then started Appareo (Latin for “to appear”). As part of the Phoenix departure, Batcheller initially was prevented from working in the agricultural market, so went into aviation. In 2014, Appareo added agriculture back into the mix, the company created Intelligent Agricultural Solutions, a joint venture with AGCO.
In late 2018, Batcheller announced a dream that the Red River Valley region should be a center of development of ag equipment including unmanned aerial technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence. That vision has manifested into the Grand Farm project near Fargo, which involves a development farm as well as a code academy and connections with venture capitalists.

ChevronTexaco's Profit Nearly Triples
AP Business Writer
ChevronTexaco Corp. on Friday said its first-quarter profit nearly tripled, lifted by a dramatic rise in oil prices that drove gasoline prices higher and rankled motorists.
The San Ramon-based company earned $1.9 billion, or $1.81 per share, during the first three months of the year _ up from $725 million, or 68 cents per share, at the same time last year.
First-quarter revenue totaled $31 billion, a 47 percent increase from $21.2 billion last year.
If not for a charge required to meet new accounting rules governing the company's retired assets, ChevronTexaco said it would have posted a profit of $2.1 billion, or $1.99 per share. That beat the consensus estimate of $1.81 a share among analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.
Chevron's shares rose $2.35, or 3.7 percent, to close Friday at $65.35 on the New York Stock Exchange.
"It was a blowout quarter," said industry analyst Fadel Gheit of Fahnestock & Co. "Although all oil companies did well in the quarter, no one did as well as ChevronTexaco."
ChevronTexaco Chairman David O'Reilly hailed the results as the company's best quarter since the $39 billion merger that created the oil giant in October 2001.
ChevronTexaco reversed a year-ago loss in its division that refines and markets its U.S. gasoline. The division posted a $70 million profit in the first quarter, bouncing back from a $154 million loss last year.
But higher gas prices pained many motorists whose household budgets were squeezed as prices that soared well above $2 per gallon in many parts of California.
The average price for ChevronTexaco's refined U.S. products was $44.28 per barrel in the first quarter, a 66 percent increase from the same time last year. The price spike may have persuaded some motorists to drive less or buy gas from other merchants. ChevronTexaco said its sales volume of its branded gasoline declined by 6 percent during the quarter.
Internationally, ChevronTexaco's refining and marketing division recorded a $245 million profit, more than doubling earnings of $93 million last year.

…In Gambino Camp By: Eric Blair
Childish Gambino’s Camp is one of the best albums of 2011. Camp’s sound is a dark, rollercoaster of emotions with a wonderful upbeat composition to each song. The sound to Camp is a little different from Gambino’s earlier work, the production quality has improved. Camp’s sound is harmonious, not as rough as his previous work, it doesn’t sound rushed or overly sampled. For example, the drums on the track Do Ya Like, off the Culdesac album, over powers his vocals throughout the song, whereas Bonfire’s drums sound are very smooth with the perfect kick, and mend perfectly with the vocals. The composition of each song on Camp is perfection; there is a beginning, a chorus, a second verse, a chorus, a third verse, and then a wrap up. This typical song structure is contrary to Childish’s earlier work which was mostly him rapping with no pause or chorus, causing some of the earlier songs to seem unfinished.
All The Shine is one of my favorite songs on Camp, it’s such a beautiful growth from Yes. Yes’ production was good for the time, but the heavy drums and the sped-up vocals don’t hold a candle to All The Shine. Yes sounded like it was made quickly on a drum machine. In All The Shine you can hear the chords in the background with the drums, snare, clash leading in the foreground. That is a considerable improvement there, layering the beat to make one sound. All The Shine goes into Letter Home, this follow up is a refreshing break from Childish’s clever, rapid, and lyrically cutting flow, which I refer to as “machine gun flow.” Letter Home gives the listener an intimate change up to the album that leads into Heartbeat, a song that speaks of the hardships and sensual times in an intimate relationship.
Camp is lyrically impressive; the content is dark and personal. Gambino’s lyrical content ranges from childhood experiences, parents, relationships, how he’s perceived, to views of himself as an artist and a person. I do like the tunes that I can rock my head to but I also love the tunes that go deeper than the surface. The first song Outside gives insight into his childhood and his relationship with his family as the song ends with a choir-esque type of singing. You can feel the plight Childish experiences through his lyrics and choir style singing, such a meaningful beginning to Camp. Then there is a song called L.E.S. on the album that’s very sensual and intimate speaking of a woman that he wants sexually and their relationship, only to end the song with him talking down on himself. Another personal song on Camp is Hold You Down, it speaks of his “blackness,” stating:
“It’s funny how you smoke niggas then you start coffins/ All my people need throat lozenge/ My fear is dead/ Ambition drove the hearse/ But niggas got my feelin’ I ain’t black enough to go to church/ Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain’t hood enough/ We all look the same to the cops, ain’t that good enough?”
Gambino’s style, flow and lyrical content come together wonderfully, adding depth to the song and to Donald Glover as a person. Throughout this album the songs have excellent lyrical content, backed by great messages that are conveyed very well. Furthermore, his beats and the quality of production add dynamic and umph to his (already) enthusiastic rap style. Childish Gambino’s growth as an artist from I Am Just A Rapper is applaud worthy. He is clearly more comfortable with who he is and his capabilities instead of a guy that’s looking to rap just to get a few things off his chest. He has mastered his art of story telling in his songs, as evident in That Power, where he raps about his hardships as Donald Glover. That Power reveals maturity as Donald gives insight to his growing pains and becoming who he is. This song is also a story about the meaning of “Camp” as an album and its personal meaning to him. I was cheering by time the album ended, clapping hands and stomping feet.
This album also highlights his progress in terms of production. Earlier songs such as Lights Turned On are great, however, his most recent tracks such as, You See Me is a wonderfully vast improvement. You See Me incorporates so many elements: vocals, horns, and snare rhythms, there is so much going on, and it all comes together to create a tuneful melody. It’s all about the composition on this album, that’s the key to its success.
Overall this album gets an A+ for a few reasons, Gambino’s production sounds much cleaner, organized, and is one continuous sound throughout the album. The sound isn’t all over the place like past albums but more like a novel; there is one theme and he stuck with that sound from beginning to end. The Lyrical content on this album is clever, sharp, thoughtful, and simple. He’s not glorifying money, hoes, and clothes; he’s opening himself up. Camp is an impressive follow up to Gambino’s previous work. This album reminds me of Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Fantasy with its dark sound to the production and the artist’s deep, intimate, somber lyrical content. Camp is a blast of fresh air from everyday commercial Hip-Hop/Rap because there is a great theme to this album and by the end of the album there is something we all can relate to. Camp is worth buying because it is an excellent, down to Earth album from a down to Earth rapper.
Hey, you don’t have to take my words for it; give Childish Gambino’s Camp a listen for yourself. You can be your own critic.

When it comes to choosing a dog breed, it’s important to consider your lifestyle, living situation, and personal preferences. Two popular breeds that often come up in the comparison are Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers. Both breeds have their unique characteristics and traits that make them great companions, but which one is the better fit for you?
Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers are both large breeds that require plenty of exercise and attention. Rottweilers are known for their loyalty and protective nature, making them great guard dogs. They are also intelligent and adaptable, making them suitable for a variety of lifestyles. On the other hand, Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities. They are often used as service dogs and make great family pets due to their gentle nature.
In this article, we will compare Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers in terms of their temperament, exercise needs, grooming requirements, and more. By the end of this comparison, you will have a better understanding of which breed is the better fit for your lifestyle and preferences.

The Rottweiler is a large, muscular breed that originated in Germany. They were originally bred as herding dogs, but have since become popular as guard dogs and family pets. Rottweilers are known for their strength, loyalty, and protective nature. They are also intelligent and highly trainable, making them a good choice for owners who are willing to put in the time and effort to train them properly.
There are two types of Rottweilers: German Rottweilers and Roman Rottweilers. German Rottweilers are larger and more muscular than Roman Rottweilers, but both types share the same basic characteristics.
The Labrador Retriever is a medium-sized breed that originated in Newfoundland, Canada. They were originally bred as hunting dogs, but have since become popular as family pets and service dogs. Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, as well as their intelligence and trainability.
Labrador Retrievers are not typically used as guard dogs, as they are generally too friendly and sociable to be effective in that role. However, they are excellent at retrieving games and are often used as service dogs for people with disabilities.
One common misconception is that “Labrador” and “Labrador Retriever” are two different breeds. They are the same breed, with “Labrador” being a shortened version of the full name.
Overall, both the Rottweiler and Labrador Retriever are popular breeds with many positive traits. However, they have different personalities and characteristics, so potential owners need to do their research and choose the breed that best fits their lifestyle and needs.

History and Origins
Rottweilers have a fascinating history that dates back to ancient Roman times. These dogs were initially bred as herding and guarding dogs, accompanying the Roman legions on their journeys. With their exceptional strength and intelligence, Rottweilers became invaluable in herding cattle and protecting livestock from predators. Today, Rottweilers retain their guarding instincts and are known for their loyalty and protective nature.
Labrador Retrievers, commonly referred to as Labs originated in Newfoundland, Canada. Fishermen in the region used these dogs as working companions, assisting in retrieving fishing nets and hauling fish. Their excellent swimming abilities and gentle temperament made them ideal for these tasks. Labs quickly gained popularity as family pets due to their friendly nature, intelligence, and adaptability
When it comes to size, Rottweilers are generally larger than Labradors. Rottweilers can weigh anywhere from 80 to 135 pounds, while Labradors typically weigh between 55 and 80 pounds. Rottweilers are also taller than Labradors, with an average height of 22 to 27 inches at the shoulder, while Labradors are usually between 21 and 24 inches tall.
Rottweilers and Labradors have different appearances. Rottweilers have a muscular build with a broad chest and a short, black coat with distinctive rust-colored markings on their face, legs, and chest. Labradors, on the other hand, have a more athletic build with a sleek, short coat that comes in three colors: black, yellow, and chocolate.
In terms of coat maintenance, Labradors are easier to groom than Rottweilers. Labradors have a short, dense coat that sheds moderately, while Rottweilers have a short, thick coat that sheds heavily twice a year. Rottweilers also require more frequent brushing to prevent matting and to keep their coat healthy.
Overall, while Rottweilers are larger and have a more muscular build, Labradors have a more athletic appearance and are easier to groom.
Temperament and Behavior
When it comes to temperament and behavior, both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly and loyal nature. However, there are some differences between the two breeds that potential owners should consider.
Rottweilers are known for being protective of their family and can be wary of strangers. They are also known for their intelligence and are often used as police and military dogs. While they are generally calm and confident, they can become aggressive if not properly trained and socialized.
Labrador Retrievers, on the other hand, are known for their friendly and outgoing nature. They are often used as therapy dogs and are great with children. They are also highly intelligent and easy to train. However, they can become hyperactive if not given enough exercise and mental stimulation.
When it comes to compatibility with other pets, both breeds can get along well with other dogs and cats if properly introduced. However, Rottweilers may have a higher prey drive and may not be suitable for households with small pets like rabbits or guinea pigs.
Overall, both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers can make great family pets. It ultimately comes down to the individual dog’s personality and the owner’s ability to provide proper training and socialization.
Training and Exercise Needs
Both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers are intelligent breeds that require consistent training and exercise to thrive. However, there are some differences in their training needs.
Rottweilers are known for their loyalty and protective nature, which makes them excellent guard dogs. However, they can also be stubborn and dominant, so early socialization and obedience training are crucial. Rottweilers respond well to positive reinforcement training, but they may require a firmer hand than some other breeds.
Labrador Retrievers are highly trainable and eager to please, which makes them popular as service dogs and family pets. They respond well to positive reinforcement training, and their high energy levels make them excellent candidates for activities like agility and obedience competitions.
Both breeds require regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental health. Rottweilers are a larger and more muscular breed, so they require more exercise than Labradors. A daily walk or run is essential for both breeds, but Rottweilers may also benefit from activities like hiking or swimming.
Speaking of swimming, while both breeds are generally good swimmers, Labradors are often considered one of the best water-loving breeds. Their webbed feet and waterproof coat make them well-suited for activities like retrieving and dock diving. Rottweilers, on the other hand, may need some encouragement to take to the water, but with proper training and socialization, they can also enjoy swimming.
In summary, both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers require consistent training and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. While Rottweilers may require a firmer hand in training and more exercise than Labradors, both breeds can thrive with the right care and attention.
Health and Lifespan
Both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers are generally healthy breeds. However, like all breeds, they are prone to certain health issues. It is important to be aware of these issues so that you can take preventative measures and seek veterinary care if necessary.
Rottweilers are prone to several health issues, including:
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Osteosarcoma (bone cancer)
- Bloat (gastric torsion)
- Von Willebrand’s disease (a blood clotting disorder)
It is important to note that not all Rottweilers will develop these conditions, but they are more likely to than some other breeds. Regular veterinary checkups and preventative care can help keep your Rottweiler healthy.
The average lifespan of a Rottweiler is 8-10 years.
Labrador Retriever Health
Labrador Retrievers are generally healthy, but they are prone to some health issues, including:
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Progressive retinal atrophy (a degenerative eye disease)
- Exercise-induced collapse
Like with Rottweilers, not all Labradors will develop these conditions, but they are more likely to than some other breeds. Regular veterinary checkups and preventative care can help keep your Labrador Retriever healthy.
The average lifespan of a Labrador Retriever is 10-12 years.
Overall, both Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers are generally healthy breeds, but it is important to be aware of the potential health issues they may face. With proper care and preventative measures, you can help ensure that your dog lives a long and healthy life.
When it comes to mixed breeds, the Rottweiler and Labrador Retriever mix is a popular one. Often referred to as a Labrottie or Rottador, this hybrid breed combines the traits of both parent breeds.
The Labrottie is known for being a loyal and protective companion, making them great family dogs. They are also highly intelligent and trainable, which makes them ideal for various activities such as obedience training, agility, and search and rescue.
In terms of appearance, the Labrottie can vary greatly depending on which parent breed they take after. They can have a muscular build like the Rottweiler or a leaner build like the Labrador Retriever. Their coat can also vary, ranging from short and smooth to longer and wavier.
When it comes to health, mixed breeds can inherit health issues from either parent breed. Potential health concerns to watch out for in a Labrottie include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and obesity. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help prevent these issues.
Adaptability to Living Spaces
Consideration of living space is important when choosing a breed, especially if you live in an apartment or have limited outdoor access.
While Rottweilers are a larger breed, they can adapt to apartment living if given sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. Regular exercise is crucial to prevent boredom and maintain their physical and mental well-being. Living in an apartment will require dedicated efforts to provide them with daily walks, playtime, and interactive toys. Access to outdoor spaces, such as nearby parks, is highly beneficial to fulfill their exercise needs.
Labrador Retrievers are generally adaptable and can adjust well to different living spaces, including apartments. However, they are energetic dogs that require regular exercise to thrive. Providing them with daily walks, runs, and access to outdoor areas is important. Labrador Retrievers have a natural love for water, so if you have nearby water bodies or access to swimming areas, it can be a great way to provide them with additional exercise and mental stimulation.
Overall, the Labrottie can make a great addition to any family. They are loyal, intelligent, and protective, making them a great companion for those who are willing to put in the time and effort to train and care for them properly.

Title: Fire and Heist
Author: Sarah Beth Durst
Publisher: Crown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: December 4, 2018
Page Count: 304
My rating: 4 stars
About the book:
Fans of Cassandra Clare and Julie Kagawa will devour this contemporary fantasy about a teen were-dragon who must steal her first treasure. But a dark discovery during her heist could put her family in incredible danger.
In Sky Hawkins’s family, leading your first heist is a major milestone–even more so than learning to talk, walk, or do long division. It’s a chance to gain power and acceptance within your family, and within society. But stealing your first treasure can be complicated, especially when you’re a wyvern–a human capable of turning into a dragon.
Embarking on a life of crime is never easy, and Sky discovers secrets about her mother, who recently went missing, the real reason her boyfriend broke up with her, and a valuable jewel that could restore her family’s wealth and rank in their community.
With a handpicked crew by her side, Sky knows she has everything she needs to complete her first heist, and get her boyfriend and mother back in the process. But then she uncovers a dark truth about were-dragon society–a truth more valuable and dangerous than gold or jewels could ever be.
Fire and Heist by Sarah Beth Durst is a young adult fantasy read that is a standalone story. The author described her idea for this one as wanting to write Ocean’s Eleven with Were-dragons so of course this odd description definitely got my curiosity aroused. It’s safe to say when done too this doesn’t really remind me of anything I’ve read before which for me is a good thing.
Sky Hawkin is a teenage Wyvern, a human with the ability to shift into a dragon, although the Wyvern here on Earth have lost the ability to shift and can only conjure fire. Wyvern’s also have a fetish for shiny expensive things, especially gold so how do they go about acquiring it you ask? By stealing of course.
Sky’s family however is on the outs in the Wyvern community after her mother went on a heist and didn’t return. Obviously something went wrong but Sky’s brothers and father refuse to do anything to find out what happened so Sky intends to plan her own heist to try to find her mother.
Now, with a book about dragons I wasn’t quite expecting to jump into what reads more YA contemporary with family drama but the story started a little on the funny side and piqued my curiosity regardless. As the book went along and I’m beginning to wonder if the world is basically ours with these supposed “dragons” that aren’t more than humans without a lighter to create fire what was the point to including Wyverns but thankfully the story eventually got around to more dragon-ish things to satisfy my curiosity. In the end I found it a rather cute mostly contemporary with a dash of fantasy read and would suggest giving it a try.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Tooth root substitutes placed in the jawbone. Artificial teeth are then attached to the substitute root, which is actually a titanium rod. Dental implants are an option to replace one tooth, several teeth, or even all of your teeth. Learn more about dental implants.
More people are getting dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are a long-term solution to missing teeth (edentulism) that is embedded in your jawbone, similar to your natural teeth. Plus, unlike fixed bridges or removable dentures, dental implants will not affect neighboring healthy teeth or lead to bone loss in the jaw. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Dental implant surgery is, of course, surgery – and is best performed by a trained surgeon. Your oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) has the specialized education and training in the complexities of the bone, skin, muscles and nerves involved to ensure you get the best possible results. A 2014 study suggests greater implant success rates when performed by a dental specialist.
Implants are made of titanium metal that fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. There’s no shortcut to get around that process, and it usually takes several months once the implant is put into your jawbone. Osseointegration, however, is why implants never slip or make embarrassing noises similar to dentures, and why bone loss is usually not a problem.
After more than 20 years, the vast majority of dental implants first placed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the United States continue to function at peak performance. More importantly, the recipients of those early dental implants are still satisfied they made the right choice.

Welcome to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s blog. Here we’ll trace the development of our new website as we write, edit, design, brainstorm, and – most importantly – ask you what you think of it all. Please read us often, and comment liberally.
So who are we?
Hugh Powell, Staff Science Writer. I’ll be writing most of the posts you read, though you’ll hear from my co-bloggers (below) when their own expertise is called for. I’m a science writer with a background in bird biology and fire ecology. I love to watch birds because they’re innately intriguing – and also because they’re a constant source of revelations about how the world is put together. I’m also really interested in the ocean, and I blog about both topics over here.
Alex Chang, Lead Web Designer. When he’s not expressing himself via lively web designs (i.e., this blog’s charming warblers), Alex sums up his life with a timeline: 1992, graphic design. 1996, web design. 1997, photography. 1998, birdwatching. 2008, designing websites for Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He loves to exercise both sides of his brain by building creative and usable websites for everyday people. He still wants to be a famous manga artist someday.
Laura Erickson, Staff Science Editor. Laura has written three books about birds and runs one of the bird world’s most popular blogs. An avid birder and lister, she keeps track of all sorts of sightings, from her “BiGBY list” (that’s all the birds she’s seen without burning fossil fuels to reach them) to the number of species that have splattered her with poop. Laura is a former winner of the owl category of the American Ornithologists’ Union’s bird-calling contest. She may have had inside help: an adopted Eastern Screech-Owl named Archimedes has lived with her for nearly 10 years.
Miyoko Chu, Director of Communications. When she was 11, Miyoko and her dad built a pigeon coop in their Berkeley, California, backyard. From there, her interests broadened: aerobatic Cliff Swallows in college, sleek and glossy Phainopeplas for her Ph.D., and North America’s migrant birds in her book Songbird Journeys. As director of communications, Miyoko is especially keen to find out what people would like to see on our website.
Sam Crowe, All About Birds Editor. Sam contributes to the All About Birds website from his home in Texas, where he says the birding is better. His first official birding trip was with his botany professor in college. Sam found the many Red-tailed Hawks they saw mildly interesting, but was enthralled by his first Marsh Hawk (now called Northern Harrier), a decent bird that always makes itself easy to identify. It remains his favorite raptor.
Greg Delisle, Web Manager. Greg explored Maryland, Tennessee, and Indiana before settling in New York State. He has a lifelong interest in natural systems, stream communities, and “herps” – reptiles and amphibians. He came to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 1999 to manage the Lab’s website. He works on application integration, content management, e-commerce, and other decidedly 21st century tasks. For special events, he occasionally abandons his regular duties to become The Sapsucker, the Lab’s official mascot.
Flisa Stevenson, Marketing Manager, Citizen Science and Education. When we start discussing the needs of teachers, students, and citizen scientists on Round Robin, Flisa will be on hand for advice and perspective. From her background in environmental education and landscape design, Flisa sees birds as bright and musical neighbors that can draw us into exploring the places we live. Hailing from Austin, Texas, via Anchorage, Alaska, Flisa has worked with the Citizen Science and Education programs since 2006.
Nathan Senner, Graduate Student. Nate is studying Hudsonian Godwits in the Arctic and in southern Chile for his Ph.D. at Cornell. He writes in to Round Robin during his travels to keep the rest of us up to date on field work in those far-flung parts of the globe. Nate grew up in Alaska, where his ornithologist father got him hooked on shorebirds at age 8, watching migration at the Copper River Delta. Now 27, Nate is studying how climate change affects godwits’ lives. The rest of his time, he says, is split between “trying to stay happily married to my wife, Kate, who agreed to marry me despite having spent time on mudflats watching Hudsonian Godwits, and sustain a second obsession with long-distance running.”
