Cool Class: Physics for Future Presidents
January 18, 2018
By Audrey St. Clair ’03
First-year students jump at the chance to become scientifically literate, learning how things work so they can understand why they’re important.
The aim of this Rollins College Conference (RCC) course is to expose first-year students to the science behind the headlines. Understanding the differences between heat and temperature or nuclear bombs and nuclear reactors equips students with the knowledge they need to interpret and question what they’re hearing in the news every day.
“This class is important as an RCC because here at Rollins we strive to educate global citizens and responsible leaders from the start,” says Whitney Coyle, assistant professor of physics. “Part of that responsibility and citizenship comes from voting for our political leaders or becoming one, and we need our leaders to understand science in order to make informed decisions about science.”
Whitney Coyle, assistant professor of physics
Almost daily, Coyle hears the question, “Oh, is that why …?” and smiles, savoring the excitement in the students’ voices as they understand a critical concept for the first time. Why the sky is blue and what a black hole really is are just a couple of the big reveals. After learning the science behind these types of phenomena along with things like electricity and magnetism, the students learn why they should care about them.
“We’re always concerned with checking off boxes of information,” says Coyle, “but having these students come in and learn how to make good decisions is key.”
Perhaps one of the most relevant issues tackled in the course is the difference between nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs. As talks naturally turned to North Korea, students discussed radiation and fallout while learning how more advancements have been made in relation to war efforts than energy harnessing.
“Less funding is going to nuclear because of fear,” says Coyle, “so it’s more important than ever to educate people on the scientific possibilities that are actually out there.”
Another key assignment was to find an article in a popular newspaper that used the words “power” and “energy” correctly. The students had to evaluate if the writer was trying to be colloquial or scientifically accurate and why that difference is so important. To be skeptical of media, to think critically about the content that inundates us each day, to tune into why, as a reader, we are persuaded or dissuaded by an author—these are the big-picture concepts Coyle hopes the students take away from this course.
It wouldn’t be a physics class without a lab. When we dropped by, students were hard at work performing an optics lab, learning about light and how it interacts with certain materials while using lasers, lenses, and mirrors to see reflections and study focal length.
Coyle explains that optical lenses are used in a variety of applications from microscopy to laser processing and in many industries like life sciences, imaging, and defense. She continues by emphasizing the importance of recording scientific measurements with their associated error and using units when reporting numbers.
“To become a global scientist, a global leader,” says Coyle, “it’s important to communicate with other scientists with the standard.”
“I was interested in this course as an RCC because it provides a way to look at physics in a way that is relevant to other majors,” says Johnny Casey ’21, who plans to study political science. “The class tackles science-related issues that have significant impacts on the lives of ordinary people but are often misunderstood.”
“I can’t think of a better way to get introduced to the real meaning of a liberal arts education than by exploring the basics of a subject I most likely wouldn’t have taken classes in,” Casey says. “I’ve gained a general appreciation for science’s ability to offer clarity on certain issues of controversy and a belief in the greater role of science in decision making.”
Did You Know?
There is only one physicist in Congress, and of the 535 members, there is just one microbiologist and one chemist. Add to that a mere eight engineers (seven in the House and one in the Senate), and there’s a very small percentage of informed representation making decisions about science and innovation.

With our focus on global citizenship and responsible leadership, Rollins has once again secured a position as one of the top producers of Fulbright Students among colleges and universities.

Artists have long used their particular skills to quilt together the social fabric necessary to make a community more than just a place on a map. They and their organizations are vital to community sustainability, as artists give voice to collective aspirations, generate dialogue, and preserve memories.
Not only are they makers of aesthetic objects and creators of experiences, artists create jobs, attract investments, generate tax revenues, and stimulate local economies, often through tourism and consumer purchases. Their presence also infuses other industries with creativity.
Yet these economic benefits often accrue to the surrounding community, not to the artists themselves, as they struggle financially and lack the resources to build their own businesses.
Surdna is supporting efforts to provide artists business training and financial resources. When artists develop economic self-sufficiency and learn how to benefit financially from their art, they can continue to create opportunity for others.
The Detroit Creative Corridor Center (DC3), a Surdna grantee, is helping creative entrepreneurs launch their businesses by providing them coaching, executive mentoring, office space, and other resources. Working with DC3, artists fist identify their business objectives and set realistic expectations. Mentors then guide them through strategic planning and business plan execution. This and other similar programs are helping artists more fully realize—and make a living from—their roles as social and economic change agents.

Hiking in Tompkins County
North Country Trail
This 7.7 mile stretch of the North Country Trail features Willseyville Creek and Shindagin Hollow State Forest. The Shindagin Lean To is located at a scenic location within the state forest. This section of the NCT coincides with the white blazed Finger Lakes Trail.
This section begins off Ridgeway Road on private property. Remember it's the generosity of the private landowners that allows the trail to cross through their property. Respect their property and stay on the trail. Soon the trail turns right onto a old railroad bed. This is the old Lehigh Valley Railroad. There is a second old bed from the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The trail is now following what is known as the Ridgeway Trail.
There are great views from the old railroad bed and if you look really close you'll see the remnants of the old tracks. The FLT/NCT turns away from the old railroad bed and follows the edge of a field on the journey toward White Church Rd. There are some real nice views of the surrounding hills from the field (see above) before the trail crosses White Church Road and continues on private property. The trail ahead is closed for hunting from Oct 10 - Dec 22. Please respect the landowners request and stay off the trail during those dates. The trail then enters Shindagin Hollow State Forest.
The trail crosses seasonal dirt Braley Hill Road, soon passes a trail register, descends and reaches the Braley Campsite near a small stream crossing. Cross an old jeep trail then the NCT descends into Shindagin Hollow. After crossing seasonal dirt Shindagin Hollow Rd, the trail crosses a footbridge and ascends toward Shindagin Lean-To. Look below for a panorama of this popular lean to and camping area.
Before reaching South Road, there is an interesting rock formation on your left. This must have taken someone hours (days?) to create. There is a picture below of this piece of artwork. The trail continues across South Road and eventually leaves the state forest onto private land. The trail reaches Old 76 Road and the end of this section. Look below for a few pictures, detailed description and maps of this section of the North Country Trail.
Directions: From Ithaca, NY 96B to E. Miller Rd. Turn left on E Miller Rd. Turn right on Coddington Road. Turn left on Ridgeway Rd. There is shoulder parking along the side of the road. The GPS coordinates for the shoulder parking is N42 20.264 W76 23.780 for those who have a GPS devise.

California Residents: Proposition 65 Warning
Novice skill is required for this installation.
These Rugged Ridge half doors feature a thermoplastic outer door skin with a durable powder-coated internal steel door frame. They have lockable handles. They use OEM style hinges and even include an internal storage pouch. They have waterproof seals around the edge of them and are paintable, or you can leave them black. With that being said, we're going to assemble them here on the table, and then get them installed on our 2008 Jeep Wrangler.
We're going to start with some prep work on the doors right here on the table. The first thing we're going to focus on is the hinges here. We're going to get these retention bolts out, put on the hinges, and then the factory bolts. Let's get started.
These are going to use a 13-millimeter socket to get them pulled out. Repeat the same process on the lower hinge. Place the passenger side hinge into place. Then, use the Allen key hardware to get it tightened down. Get these snugged up. You more than likely will have to release them and readjust them when you put them on the Jeep. Put the hinge on the lower side, repeat the same process.
After the lower hinge is installed, flip the door over, and we'll work on the inside. We're going to grab this grab handle and set it into place. Set it with the right way out. Make sure that nothing's binding up. Then, we're going to take one of these metal pieces here, this is going to cover up. Then, use the included hardware to go through, into the hole. Do that for this side as well. Then, get them tightened up with a T25 Torx Bit. Get them nice and snugged up.
In order to get some mirrors on our half doors, we're actually going to borrow them off of our full doors. You can either grab a new set or do this. We're going to remove these two T40 Torx Bits on the inside of the door. Go ahead and install the factory mirror through the outside. Then, you're going to use the included Allen key hardware to attach them. Just get them started, then we'll get them tightened up. Now, you're ready to remove your full door and install this half door.
Now, you can install your half door. In order to get these fully adjusted, what we're going to do is loosen up the bolts at the hinges here. That's going to let us close this door, retighten them up, and get a good starting point. You can make really fine adjustments to make sure it closes better, but we'll start here.
Once the door is closed, tighten them back up. Check that it closes properly. As you can see, we have good body lines all the way around. Repeat the same process on the other side and your installation's complete.
We just wrapped up the installation of these half doors onto our 2008 Jeep Wrangler and they look absolutely awesome. It's a really nice feature for this Jeep. It gives you that open-air feeling without having to remove your full door. You can use the factory mirrors on them so that way, you can see and still be legal. Now, the install time is about an hour and you will have to get these things painted if you'd like, when you're done. You can find them, as well as many other great parts for your JK, right here at CJPonyParts.com.

A crowd of more than 175 gathered at the Evansville Country Club last week to celebrate 40 years of public broadcasting in Evansville as WNIN hosted its annual Gala, featuring celebrity guest speaker National Public Radio White House correspondent Don Gonyea.
Gonyea is heard by millions on NPR's Morning Edition. The overflow crowd not only wined, dined and boogied with the Boat Monkeys, but it also helped WNIN raise a targeted $25,000, which thrilled President David Dial.
Dial and his wife, Barbara, greeted guests in the upstairs balcony while committee members worked the crowd and directed the whirl of generous supporters to auction items including a night in the fabulous Presidential Suite at Le Merigot hotel.
Enjoying the evening were Kathy and Stephen Briscoe, Karen and Niel Ellerbrook, John Englebrecht, Stephanie Mosbacher, Demarco Hampton, Sally and Stephen Jennings, Julie and John Lamb, Mary MacGregor and Phil Lieberman and Becky and Bob Zimmerman.
While the weather may be anything but springlike, the plans are well under way for the University of Evansville's annual Rite of Spring.
Committee members Judy Fiddick, Dick Sprinkle, Bill Bootz, Laurel Vaughn, Glen Roberts and UE student Stacey Cloum gathered at FireFly Southern Restaurant to sample the cuisine to select the menu for the event. Scheduled for March 20, the dinner will be held at the Evansville Museum.
Both vocal and instrumental music students will be featured, along with a drawing for two tickets to the Evansville Philharmonic's production of the Rite of Spring and an invitation to the VIP reception to be held after the concert.
The Downtown churches celebrated the life of Martin Luther King Jr. at St. Mary's Catholic Church with songs of praise.
A reception was held in the newly remodeled Rager Hall after the tribute, and a lavish buffet was prepared by church members.
The students of North High School vocal music teacher Andrea Drury hosted a special evening of music, merriment and a meal.
The evening featured young people who are members of the choral department, and proceeds went to Ronald McDonald House and the North choral department.
Held at the Marriott, the evening also included a live and silent auction.
Droste's Jewelry Shoppe provided a stunning plum-colored fresh water pearl necklace for the live auction, and students made up large baskets of donated items for the silent auction.
Guests included Eric and Debi Hassler, Jack and Sally Theuerkauf, Brenda and Jack Weber, Al and Susie Umbach and Jack and Brenda Weber.

Those who have children who are now adults are used to taking care of others, but these parents may now be wondering who will take care of them when they are no longer able to do so. Nobody can predict the future in Maryland or any other state. One never knows when a medical emergency will occur which could leave a person incapacitated. One option to address this is through a legal document known as a healthcare power of attorney.
This document, which should be considered by everybody no matter what age, allows one to choose a person or entity that will be given the power to make healthcare decisions for them in the case of incapacitation. Medical providers, such as nursing homes and hospitals have a duty to inquire about the existence of a healthcare power of attorney document before admitting patients. One can alter a healthcare power of attorney as long as one is competent and wakeful. However, one should always properly document in writing changes to a power of attorney.
On the other hand, one should be careful when creating the power of attorney document. One should make sure to choose a person he or she fully trusts to make important decisions which could make the difference between life and death in some instances. Also, one should discuss this decision with the person chosen.
However, when actually drafting a healthcare power of attorney document one must be sure to have full understanding of all the applicable laws in Maryland. This could make the difference between having a legally enforceable power of attorney and having one which could easily be overridden. Therefore, the language on the legal document must be carefully crafted.

Australia’s media ownership is among the most concentrated in the developed world. This is not hyperbole – nor is it in some way “anti-Murdoch rhetoric” to state the facts.
News Corp publish seven of the 10 top Australian newspapers and own 65% of metropolitan newspapers by circulation. To quote their own figures, “more than 16 million Australians consume news and information across News Corp Australia’s suite of products” per month.
An Oxford University study conducted before we relaxed media ownership rules in 2016, a move that will arguably make things worse, concluded Australia has the most concentrated media ownership of all 26 countries surveyed. Australia is “dominated by News Corporation and Fairfax Media who together own the majority of national and capital city newspapers”, they concluded.
Additionally, we have seen a steady decline in the number of daily newspaper titles over the last few decades, culminating in News Corp shuttering over 100 print editions in May this year in response to the pandemic (76 of these will remain as digital mastheads and 36 will disappear entirely). Thousands of jobs have been lost as a consequence.
The trend is largely due to the growth of digital media and the dominance of social media platforms in competing for digital advertising dollars – but it doesn’t help that such a large slice of the news content we read on our screens is produced by one company and then consumed on one platform: Facebook.
The media ecosystem has fallen into the gravitational field of just a few central players and its orbit is spiralling ever closer to the centre.
Kevin Rudd launched a petition on Saturday calling for a royal commission into media ownership, describing Murdoch media as a “cancer on our democracy”. The petition caused problems for the Parliament House website after 40,000 people flocked to sign it in the first 24 hours.
Given that he is a former prime minister, Rudd could arguably have tackled this in his time in office rather than petitioning for the issue now. It is also unlikely that this petition will be acted upon by parliament, let alone any recommendations it may have made being implemented: News Corp in particular has steadfastly supported the Coalition for at least a decade.
From the global warming crisis that is still a “debate” in the pages of the Australian to Sky News’ more recent “Dictator Dan” coverage during Melbourne’s lockdown, Murdoch-owned outlets have been producing editorials that have a conservative flavour for some time.
The government is not about to bite the hand that feeds it: there will be no royal commission, and if by some fluke it is made to order one, it will ignore the recommendations. Can you see the Coalition strengthening our media ownership laws, supporting regional media outlets, or restoring funding to public broadcasters like the ABC? Me neither. These are the kinds of recommendations a royal commission would make to strengthen Australian media diversity, and they are precisely the opposite of what our government wants to do.
If you ask the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) president, Marcus Strom, “the issues are clear already” even without a royal commission. Along with arguing that Google and Facebook should pay their fair share for Australian journalism, academics like myself and organisations like the MEAA have been very clear about what needs to be done to support a strong media ecosystem into the future.
But it is heartening to see the issue getting column inches again. Although Rudd’s petition is unlikely to find support with a government that benefits from News Corp’s favourable coverage, it may open a broader public conversation that we can all participate in.
A diverse and pluralistic media is vital to the functioning of our democracy – and Australia’s is receding by the hour. Though Rudd’s petition is arguably hyperbolic in its presentation, and Rudd has his own on-again-off-again history with Rupert Murdoch, it does state the statistics clearly.
It is time to assess – or at least acknowledge – the impact Murdoch has on public debate.


Primary School Students Encouraged To Participate In Poster Competition
(Basseterre, St. Kitts, October 12, 2021): If you are between the ages 5 to 12, the Ministry of Agriculture wants you to use your imagination to create a poster showing a food journey as part of its World Food Day 2021 Poster competition.
In an interview with the Ministry’s Media and Communication Unit, Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Marine Resources, Kyle Flanders encouraged all primary school students to participate in the contest which is based on this year’s theme, “Our Actions Are Our Future – Better production, Better Nutrition, A Better Environment & A Better Life”.
“The poster should depict a journey that your food goes on from start to finish, right down until it reaches your plate. So, we are looking for our primary school students to bring forth their artistic talent with this poster competition. The rules and guidelines are outlined on our Facebook page (you can always check out our Facebook page, the Ministry of Agriculture, and you can find the rules right there. Also, it was submitted to the Ministry of Education because we are partnering with them in this endeavor. It was submitted to them so you can go to your office and get a printout of the rules and regulations that governs the poster competition”, he said.
Assistant Secretary Flanders also explained that the poster can be submitted at multiple locations.
“You have a variety of ways that you can submit your posters, you can either drop them off at [Ministry of Agriculture] Government Headquarters, you can drop them off at [Department of Marine Resources] DMR or drop them off at the Department of Agriculture and we will make sure that they get to the final judging. They can also be emailed to us and the email address again can be found on our Facebook page. Make sure the poster depicts a proper journey that food takes from seed to your plate, make sure you try and depict a more sustainable way of producing food because as we know that’s the future we going to”, Flanders added.
Parents and teachers are asked to assist the young students as they use their innovative ideas to create their individual posters. Designs can be sent to email@example.com. You can also call the Ministry of Agriculture at 467-1016 for further information.
The submission deadline is Monday 18th October at 11:59 pm.

The Cape Breton Post reports, “People living around Lake Ainslie are planning to protest outside the provincial Department of Environment office in Port Hawkesbury Monday morning. …Protesters will assemble at the provincial building at 9 am. The demonstration is expected to last an hour…”
“Rebecca Parkins, a resident of West Lake Ainslie, will be among the people voicing their displeasure over the Nova Scotia government’s decision to allow (PetroWorth) an exploratory drill well seeking oil and natural gas deposits. ‘Janet MacKinnon is the one who signed (the approval) for the Department of Environment, and she works in the Port Hawkesbury building there,’ Parkins said.”
“(Parkins) said residents’ queries on the possibility of contaminated groundwater, well water or soil and a worry about the potential for an oil spill are all valid concerns. …The province stipulates no portion of the drill pad or the facility can be located within 100 meters of a surface water course such as Lake Ainslie. The drill site must be at least 200 metres from any surface water supply.”
PetroWorth is set to start – likely on November 5 – drilling more than 1200 metres beneath the ground for oil and gas just 2,000 feet (610 metres) from the shore of Lake Ainslie.
The Council of Canadians Inverness County chapter has been actively opposing oil and gas drilling near Lake Ainslie, the largest freshwater lake in Nova Scotia.

I knew I had to write about this and it’s a tough one.
Eating meat is not sustainable.
It’s not good for our health or the health of our planet. Our animal-based diet is the primary cause of cancer, heart disease and obesity in this country. And the damage being done to the environment from raising livestock is almost immeasurable. I know there are millions of people who don’t/won’t agree with me. I know people in my very close circle who can’t or won’t handle the truth. They won’t let facts and science get in the way and have convinced themselves that eating humanely treated, grass fed or whatever fed meat is okay. It’s not. The science will support me in this. The facts are there and all I really want to do is help – for the good of the planet and the health of us all.
And what a hypocrite I’d be if I did not share this: I still eat meat. I eat about 70% less meat than I used to but I still eat meat. I am a work in progress but I AM making progress. In case you are wondering what really finally got to me, it was meeting Howard Lyman, author of Mad Cowboy, in person. I read his book, I watched his DVD, I read his book again and something snapped. The seeds planted by Eva Taylor, Amber Adil, Food Inc., by Forks Over Knives, by Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Doug Lyle, and by the Healthy You Network – were quietly growing inside me. But it was meeting a 4th generation cattle rancher from Montana who has dedicated his life to informing people about the truth about the livestock industry that helped me cross over. And I still don’t know if I can handle the truth.
One final but very important thought I need to share. No matter how the content of this blog comes across, I don’t stand in judgment of people who eat meat because how could I? I still eat meat. But I know the truth now and to know better is to do better. Wish me luck.

LOVIBOND REAGENT: DPD TABLETS
No. 3 Rapid Test, 250's
Water analysis couldn’t be easier. Precise dosing, long shelf life and easy handling make the tablet reagent the most popular indicator system and the cheapest way to have analyse a parameter. You can use Lovibond DPD No. 3 Tablets to test the Total Chlorine levels in your swimming pool, spa or hot tub. The tablet reagent in the aluminium blister pack withstands almost all climatic conditions and external influences.
Well these tablets are used to measure chlorine levels, which is the most used way of disinfecting the water. These tablets are most commonly used for swimming pools, drinking water and industrial process water. DPD No. 3 tablets must be used together with the DPD No. 1 tablets to get the total chlorine reading.
When you add DPD No. 3 to the same sample as DPD No. 1, you will be able to work out the total chlorine. Chlorine that is still active to remove contaminants is known as free. Free chlorine involves the amount of chlorine that's able to sanitize contaminants, while combined chlorine refers to chlorine that has combined directly with the contaminants. Total chlorine is basically the sum of free chlorine and combined chlorine. DPD Tablet No. 1 is used to measure free chlorine and DPD Tablet No. 3 is used to measure total chlorine in summary.
- Suitable for all Lovibond testers.
- The box contains 250 tablets.

|Lower pitchers of Nepenthes kerrii|
M.Catal. & Kruetr. (2010)
Nepenthes kerrii is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Tarutao National Marine Park in southern Thailand, where it grows at elevations of 400–500 m above sea level. This species is thought to be most closely related to N. kongkandana.
The first known collection of N. kerrii was made by Arthur Francis George Kerr in 1928. This specimen, Kerr 14127, was collected at an elevation of around 500 m from what is now Tarutao National Marine Park, Satun Province, Thailand. It is deposited at the Bangkok Herbarium (BK). Italian naturalist Marcello Catalano came across this plant material in 2006 and recognised it as a previously unknown taxon. The specimen's label identified it as "N. gracilis" and appeared to state that it was collected at 1500 m (it was later realised that it actually read "c. 500 m"). In 2007, Catalano travelled to Tarutao but was unable to relocate the taxon in the wild. With the help of local rangers, however, he was able to determine that it grew in a certain remote area of the park. Several months later, the rangers organised an expedition on their own and were successful in finding the plants. They sent photographs of the taxon to Catalano and these convinced him that it represented a new species.
In January 2008, Catalano made two attempts to reach the site discovered by the rangers. Both proved unsuccessful due to the time and effort involved. That same month Catalano met with Stewart McPherson on the Thai mainland and informed him of the findings. McPherson then travelled to Tarutao National Marine Park on his own. After what he described as "the worst treck of my life", McPherson succeeded in relocating the plants. He returned with seeds and photographs, mostly of the upper pitchers.
The first published description of N. kerrii appeared in volume I of Stewart McPherson's 2009 monograph, Pitcher Plants of the Old World. It was included as an "incompletely diagnosed taxon" under the name N. sp. Trang. McPherson wrote that it was known with certainty only from Thailand, but had also been reported from the Malaysian island of Langkawi. He considered it to be most closely related to N. kampotiana, writing that "[m]ore extensive observations are required in order to determine whether this taxon merely represents variation within N. kampotiana or is a distinct species".
Around this time, Catalano set to work on the formal description of N. kerrii. However, he lacked all the necessary measurements and photographs to complete it and so, in 2009, he once again attempted to reach the wild plants in Tarutao, but this time the expedition was thwarted by torrential rains. Upon returning to Italy, Catalano contacted Trongtham Kruetreepradit, a Thai local, who travelled to the plants during the dry season and provided the information Catalano needed to finish the description.
Nepenthes kerrii was formally described by Marcello Catalano and Trongtham Kruetreepradit in Catalano's 2010 book, Nepenthes della Thailandia: Diario di viaggio. The description was reviewed by Alastair Robinson, while Andreas Fleischmann provided the Latin translation. Kerr 14127 was designated as the holotype. Contrary to McPherson's interpretation, Catalano and Kruetreepradit excluded the Langkawi taxon from their circumscription of N. kerrii and identified N. kongkandana as its closest relative.
Nepenthes kerrii is a climbing plant growing to a height of approximately 4 m. The stem is terete and 3–5 mm in diameter. It is typically self-supporting and unbranched. Internodes are up to 8.5 cm long. The stem ranges in colour from green to red.
Leaves are sessile and coriaceous in texture. The lamina (leaf blade) is obovate, measures up to 31 cm in length by 3 cm in width, and is around 0.5 mm thick. Its apex is acuminate and it is attenuate at the base, clasping the stem for around three-quarters of its circumference. Three longitudinal veins are present on either side of the midrib, restricted to the distal quarter of the lamina. Pinnate veins are also visible, and arise obliquely from the midrib. Tendrils are up to 30 cm long and 3 mm in diameter. They are coiled in upper pitchers. The laminae are light green, while the midrib and tendrils may be green to red.
Rosette and lower pitchers are either wholly ovate or only ovate in the basal half of the pitcher cup and narrower above. They measure up to 14 cm in height by 6 cm in width. The hip, which is only faintly visible, is positioned either in the middle or in the upper half of the trap. A pair of wings (≤8 mm wide) runs down the ventral surface of the pitcher cup, bearing narrow fringe elements. The pitcher mouth is oval and has an oblique insertion. The peristome is cylindrical and up to 12 mm wide, with teeth up to 0.5 mm long. The pitcher lid or operculum is round with a slightly cordate base and an irregularly wavy margin. It measures up to 4.3 cm in length by 4.7 cm in width, being as large as the mouth. The lower surface of the lid does not have any appendages, but bears numerous crater-like glands (≤1 mm in diameter), the largest of which are located around the midline. The spur, which is inserted near the base of the lid, is up to 7 mm long and may be simple or branched. Terrestrial pitchers are typically orange with red blotches on their outer surface. These red markings are also found in the waxy zone of the inner surface. The peristome and lid range in colour from orange to red.
The tubulose upper pitchers are similar in size to their terrestrial counterparts, measuring up to 15 cm in height by 3.5 cm in width. The wings are up to 4 mm wide and spaced 4–6 mm apart. The pitcher mouth is orbicular or broadly ovate and has an oblique insertion. The peristome is lobate and has a distinct neck. The lid as well as other parts of the pitcher are similar to those found in terrestrial traps. Aerial pitchers have a lighter pigmentation than their lower counterparts, being green to yellow on the outer surface. Red blotches are present on the waxy inner surface. The peristome may be yellow or red striped, while the lid is green to yellow and commonly red on its lower surface.
Nepenthes kerrii has a racemose inflorescence up to 130 cm long. In male plants, the inflorescence reaches 90 cm in length, of which the peduncle can constitute up to 65 cm and the rachis up to 27 cm, and bears around 120 flowers singly on pedicels measuring 6–8 mm in length. The androphore is up to 1.5 mm long. Tepals are round or elliptic and up to 4 mm long by 3 mm wide. Those of male flowers may be green or red, whereas those of females are always green. The female inflorescence is similar in structure to the male one, but differs in having a rachis up to 25 cm long with longer pedicels of 10–23 mm. Nepenthes kerrii exhibits modified seed morphology, whereby the seed wings are significantly reduced. This is thought to be an adaptation to the species's island habitat; the lack of prominent seed wings likely serves to prevent strong winds from blowing them into the sea.
Nepenthes kerrii is endemic to Tarutao National Marine Park in Satun Province, southern Thailand. Reports of this species from the Malaysian island of Langkawi represent a different, although similar, taxon. The species has an altitudinal range of 400–500 m above sea level.
Its typical habitat is open savannah and grassland, where it grows terrestrially in sandy soil. This soil consists of a quartz-rich layer up to 30 cm deep over a base of granite. During the dry season, this substrate can become very hot and dry, hardening considerably as a result. Nepenthes kerrii is not sympatric with any other Nepenthes species in the wild and no natural hybrids involving it have been recorded.
Nepenthes kerrii can be distinguished from all of these species, with the exception of N. kongkandana, on the basis of its laminae, which are obovate as opposed to linear to lanceolate. It also differs in having a persistent indumentum restricted to the leaf axils. In contrast, N. andamana and N. suratensis have a caducous indumentum on the upper parts of the plant, N. kongkandana has 0.3 mm long hairs covering the whole plant, and N. bokorensis has a variable indumentum covering all vegetative and floral parts. In addition, the androphore of N. kerrii is considerably shorter than that of N. bokorensis.
In their description of N. kerrii, Catalano and Kruetreepradit also note a number of other vegetative features that separate this species from N. kongkandana. The lower pitchers of N. kerrii are narrowly ovate with the hip positioned in the middle or upper portion of the trap, whereas those of N. kongkandana are tubular or slightly ventricose with the hip in the middle or lower portion. Nepenthes kerrii also produces longer tendrils that are two to three times as long as the pitcher; the tendrils of N. kongkandana are similar in length to the pitchers they bear. The peristome of the aerial pitchers is also distinct, being lobed and often striped with a distinct neck in N. kerrii and always lacking these features in N. kongkandana. Finally, the distance between the ventral wings of the upper pitchers is greater in N. kongkandana (10–12 mm versus 4–6 mm).

Nepali botanists claim to have discovered two new rhododendron speciesThe claim comes amid worries that the rhododendron forests are depleting fast due to the climate crisis.
Researchers have claimed to have discovered two additional species of rhododendron in the TMJ area, which is often dubbed the ‘rhododendron capital’ of Nepal. TMJ is the initialism for Teenjure, Milke and Jaljale areas that are spread over three districts of Province 1—Tehrathum, Sankhuwasabha and Taplejung. If the claims for two new species are established, the region would be home to 32 different species of rhododendron.
A team of conservationists, including botanist Kamal Maden and Dipak Khadka, who is doing his PhD at South China Agriculture University in China, had carried out a research in the TMJ area for two weeks recently.
Maden said the new species were found in the rhododendron forest spreading from Teenjure to Phaktalung.
“The newly-discovered rhododendron species had not flowered since we visited the area during off-season,” he said. “We have collected the leaves and have taken samples of the stem for laboratory test.”
The TMJ area which lies in the high hills and Himalayas is considered rich in biodiversity.
According to the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, a total of 173 species of rhododendron are found in the world. Of them, 33 are found in Nepal across 43 districts in hill and mountain regions.
A sub-species of rhododendron arboreum, commonly known as Laligurans, is found exclusively in Nepal. The subspecies, according to Maden, is found in the central and eastern hills of Nepal.
Several book-length works have been devoted to study the rhododendron species found in Nepal. “However, proper research has not been conducted about the rhododendron species which are believed to be found in Nepal,” Khadka said. “Some botanists and researchers have been collecting samples of some species.”
Locals and other stakeholders are worried about the depletion of rhododendron forests in the area.
The vast rhododendron forests that spread across 8,874 hectares of land in the TMJ area have been depleting, locals say, mainly due to infrastructure construction, overgrazing, and unchecked use of forest products.
The TMJ area was declared a rhododendron conservation area in 1998.
According to Bharat Babu Shrestha, forest officer at the Division Forest Office in Tehrathum, a warming climate and depletion of water sources are other challenges to rhododendron forest conservation in the TMJ region.
Shrestha said his office has launched various programmes, including mass awareness, to preserve rhododendron forests. “The government, conservation authorities and local people should work together to launch effective conservation programmes and make them successful,” said Shrestha.
The federal government formulated a five-year rhododendron conservation action plan starting from the fiscal year 2017-18 aiming to control the depletion of rhododendron forests across the nation. The plan further aims to identify rhododendron habitats, manage pastures and plant rhododendron saplings in forest areas within five years. It also aims to encourage villagers to use improved cooking stoves and promote alternative energy sources. Stakeholders, however, complain that the plan has not been implemented effectively.

“If you own a parking garage or charge for parking, there’s an automated 10 percent add,” Markling notes. “If you have a parking contract with a tenant in the lease at $200 a month, and the city now makes it $220, do you have to eat the $20 or can you pass it on to the tenant?” he asks. “It’s nebulous. Some of those leases are 10-years-old or more, and you have to go back and figure out how these apply.”
The city of Seattle also has started taxing parking, according to Coleen Spratt, BOMA Fellow, owner and CEO of Spratt Asset Advisory Services LLC in Edmonds, Washington. She says this is limiting people’s options for their commute. “If you make parking extremely expensive downtown, you force people to either find alternate means of transportation—like public transit—or you force them to avoid the downtown area altogether,” Spratt notes
“It’s an issue that we always have our eyes on and we’re always lobbying against because it really does impact us from a commercial real estate standpoint,” she explains. That’s not only from a revenue point of view, but also the effect on tenants.
“We want our tenants to have the best options,” she points out. “We want them to be able to afford to park in the buildings or take transit. When the city is driving up the cost of parking due to taxes, it impacts the overhead for our tenants.”
Such imposed taxes also can affect where companies choose to locate. For example, Bellevue, a small city across Lake Washington from Seattle, doesn’t have these same parking taxes.
“So, ultimately, people are making business decisions on whether to locate their offices to Seattle or Bellevue or other surrounding cities,” Spratt says.
If such taxes are applied municipality by municipality, it can put building owners on an uneven playing field, notes Sheldon Oppermann, BOMA Fellow, CPM, JD, RPA, executive vice president and general counsel at Compass Properties LLC in Milwaukee.
“A sales tax on parking, for example, would tax parking areas where users pay a fee, while not taxing parking areas that are provided for free as an incentive for shoppers,” says Oppermann. “This puts a greater burden on some industries.”
Ultimately, states have to get revenue somewhere, says Oppermann, and that usually means a tax. If something isn’t explicitly a property tax, building owners and managers may not consider how a new tax affects them, but many taxes have the same impact that a property tax increase does. For example, Florida, Texas, New York, Arizona and Ohio have enacted some form of tax on rent.
“In Florida, it’s basically a sales tax effectively on the rent that landlords collect,” Oppermann explains.
Markling sees the rent tax becoming more popular, but, increasingly, a point of contention. Cities are saying, “We’re going to tax commercial rents—not residential rents—because the big bad businesses and the millionaires can afford it,” according to Markling.
However, when you do a “split roll” like that, he says it negatively impacts businesses.
“If the rent goes up 10 percent for a company that employs 30 people, automatically because of this tax, that’s less income they have to pay people to run their business,” he explains.
“It trickles down to the tenant,” Markling says. “They can’t hire more people or they have to lay somebody off.”
A service tax is another tariff that’s quickly gaining traction. Some states now require the payment of sales tax for services like landscaping and lawn care, another burden on building owners. The entire bill is sales-taxed—not just materials, but also labor.
“It’s an automated increase when you’re hiring a contractor to fix the sink,” Markling says. “All of a sudden, it’s a 7 percent increase on the labor charge. It sneaks up on you.”
Carbon taxes also are gaining momentum as part of a push for more sustainability. Some states have legislation to cut carbon emissions, which will cost property owners millions of dollars. Some states’ goals are to become carbon neutral by 2030.
Markling adds that many building owners are requesting tax credits to incentivize them to meet these standards.
The biggest example of this type of legislation is the proposed carbon tax in New York state. “Policymakers are saying, ‘We will be carbon neutral by a certain date, and if your building uses more than the amount of electricity we think it should use, we’re going to tax you as a penalty tax.’” However, property managers generally have little control over how much electricity their tenants use, causing a logistical headache.
Markling says many cities and states are imposing these types of taxes that voters didn’t necessarily vote on, and it’s raising the cost of doing business everywhere.
Impact on Operations
There are so many different taxes moving across different cities and states and some overlap. When they do come into play, property professionals almost feel like they need to be tax lawyers.
“You have to be an expert in a lot of areas,” Markling points out. “City and state governments are very creative in finding little nooks and crannies to put these taxes in, which puts a huge burden on the commercial property manager to keep track of.
“I cannot be an expert in every one of the 400 places I have buildings, so the burden of compliance is on the manager,” Markling continues. “Companies have to continuously train their property managers. It’s really tough right now.”
Spratt agrees: “As real estate managers, we have to be very involved at the local, county and state level as new taxes are coming out on a regular basis. We look to BOMA to keep us educated on what is happening in the industry and on how new taxes will impact our owners and tenants.”
One way this impacts commercial real estate is that these taxes are passed on to tenants through operating expenses, which then increases their rental rates.
From a hiring standpoint, Spratt says many companies are hiring community experts who are responsible for watching everything that’s going on at all levels of government and are tasked with lobbying for real estate efforts. “One of my clients currently has a consultant that he meets with on a regular basis to keep him informed of tax and other issues that arise at the state, county and city level,” Spratt reveals.
“Overall, this does put increased pressure on property managers,” she explains. “We’re now not only managing our properties, but we have to be tax experts.”
This kind of pressure adds costs beyond that of the tax itself, as property professionals spend time and resources parsing their tax responsibilities. Municipalities may find there is a tipping point at which these additional costs are simply no longer sustainable.

As we have already mentioned, The Walking Dead Destinies seems to be one of the candidates for worst game of 2023, a title for which there are already several very fierce contenders. In this regard, fans of the series (and not only) are amused by a gameplay video that shows one of the initial boss fights of the title.
Anyone who has seen the series or read the comic will remember theepic confrontation between Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh. This key moment of The Walking Dead is transformed into a ridiculous boss fight in the new game in which the player is asked to decide which of the two sides to take, so as to be able to choose whether to continue the story in the way conceived by Robert Kirkman or the one conceived by the developers.
Regardless of the character selected, the user must defeat the opponent in one Unusual boss fightgiven that the confrontation against the human enemy will take approximately 20 shots from a shotgun in order to be completed. Obviously it is not only the excessive amount of health of the boss that arouses the laughter of the public, but also the awkward movements characters performing somersaults and jogs to avoid each other.
Before leaving you with the video, we remind you that on our pages you will also find the review of Skull Island Rise of Kong, probably the worst game of the year.

After World War II, an observant GM designer and executive, Harley Earl, noticed that the many of the GIs returning from Europe were bringing sports cars home with them. MG, Jaguar, and Alfa Romeo were the most popular brands.
Earl thought GM could cash in on that market segment with a two-seater of their own. But he wasn’t the only American car manufacturer to see this opportunity. Nash Motor Co. was the first when they teamed up with British engineer Donald Healey and a car by Italian designer Sergio Pininfarina and began selling the relatively expensive Nash-Healey two-seat sports car in 1951.
It was apparently a difficult sales job, but in 1951 Earl did finally convince GM to allow his idea called “Project Opel” to proceed. But it wasn’t a carte blanche approval. GM executive Robert McLean, who may have had some “bean counter” blood in his veins, mandated this model must be made from off-the-shelf mechanical parts and the chassis and suspension components from the 1949 to 1954 Chevrolet passenger cars.
And so it began. The engine was the 235-cubic-inch straight six-cylinder used in the passenger cars, but with some modifications to boost the engine to 150 horsepower. The two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission had to be used, as GM didn’t have a manual transmission that could handle the 150-horsepower engine.
There was some debate on using steel or fiberglass, which was relatively new at that time, for the body, but fiberglass was the choice partly because it would be faster to build. Only 300 Corvettes were produced for 1953 priced at $3,490, or about $33,600 in today’s dollars. Initially, quality problems and lack of a manual transmission were the explanation for the poor sales results. Sales in 1954 were even lower.
In the first few years, there was some discussion at GM to drop the Corvette line completely, but the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C1) ran from 1953 through 1962, with that final year yielding its best sales at 14,531 Corvettes sold. By 1976, things were going pretty well for Danville resident Mike Natali. He was 29 years old, single, owned his own drug store and was looking for suitable transportation.
He didn’t plan to buy a collector car. All he wanted was a sporty, good looking used car. He found this issue’s 1962 Chevrolet Corvette for $6,000, or about $26,650 in today’s dollars. It fit the bill perfectly. It was owned by a friend of Natali’s cousin and was being stored in San Francisco.
“I basically drove it like a regular car because it was a 14-year-old used car. I took it to the drag strip a lot in Fremont and did pretty well,” Natali said.
It had a 350 V8 engine with a four-speed manual transmission. He adored this car and loved drag racing. During this time period, the Corvette also played a part in courtship with a woman who eventually stole his heart. Wedding bells sounded. By about 2001, Natali and his wife split up. It wasn’t one of those nice friendly divorces one occasionally hears about.
“She took a hammer and screw driver to the Corvette and really messed it up. She wrote names with the screw driver on the car. But it still drove, so I had to hide the car somewhere so she couldn’t find it,” Natali said.
He hid his Corvette with a friend in Orinda, but since the friend had no garage Natali covered the car with tarps and cardboard and kept it there for about a year. Then he met a man who had a body shop in Alameda and agreed to work on Natali’s car when his normal business was slow.
“It stayed there for about 2½ years. It was a long and expensive process. I had everything rechromed and all the body damage fixed. The car was repainted from Honduras Maroon to a Corvette red from a later model year. I had the black vinyl interior redone, which took another six months. The car was not in my possession for close to five years,” he said.
Natali doesn’t know how much money he spent to restore his car but estimates the figure in the neighborhood of $20,000. He has now owned the car for 42 years, has no plans to sell it and doesn’t drive the car as much as he did in the past.
It is pretty close to being period-correct for equipment, meaning there is no power steering or brakes. In addition to the convertible top, the Corvette has a removable hard top that would require two people to install. This car has been in various local car shows and won awards. It’s always locked in a garage now and is estimated at a current market value of about $50,000.

Cannasouth Limited (NZX:CBD)
CBD is a biopharmaceutical company of New Zealand, dealing in medicinal cannabis. It is based in the Waikato region of NZ.
On 25 August, , CBD’s arm, Cannasouth Cultivation Limited, got its Good Agricultural and Collection Practice (GACP) certification. It is an achievement for the cultivation and quality teams of CBD as the company has been trying to get this certification since 2021. The company's performance in 1HFY23 was impacted due to Omicron-related supply chain disruptions with an operating loss of NZ$3,732,506, it said in a statement. But it expects to grow in the future due to its expansion plans in Europe. For that, it signed an agreement with WEECO, a German company, which is a key distributor of medicinal cannabis in Europe.
Today, the stock was trading down 1.35% to NZ$0.365 at the time of writing.
Blis Technologies Limited (NZX:BLT)
Blis is an NZ-based company that produces advanced probiotic strains. Following a dip in its performance in FY22, the company decided to undertake a review of its strategy and business model.
According to the new strategy, the Company is expected return to profitability by focusing on its core business. On 21 July, it announced its Q1 results, where it reported that its EBITDA was in line with the guidance. The unaudited results for the quarter ended June showed a total revenue of NZ$2.3 million, and an EBITDA loss of NZ$0.3 million. However, the outlook for the probiotic is positive with the market likely to grow by 3.7 per annum by 2026, announced Blis.
Today, the stock was trading down 3.33% to NZ$0.029, at the time of writing.
