Naperville Park District naming fitness center after former executive director
Naperville Park District officials are naming the Fort Hill Fitness Center after Ray McGury, honoring their longtime executive director who stepped down in February.
A vote at last week's board meeting initiated a 60-day consideration period, but the unanimous decision indicates the strong sentiment behind naming the 8,500-square-foot facility the "Raymond J. McGury Fitness Center."
"The board wanted to recognize Ray for his significant contributions to the district and the community," said board President Marie Todd. "Everyone who is acquainted with Ray is well aware of his focus on fitness and working out, so naming the fitness center within the building seemed most appropriate."
McGury served as the park district's executive director since 2008 before announcing in January his intention to leave and accept a position with the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association. Brad Wilson, the park district's former director of recreation and facilities, was named the new executive director.
According to park district policy, facilities are named for people "who were dedicated and essential to their creation and service." The Glen Ekey Driving Range at Naperbrook Golf Course and the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots are other recent examples.
The Fort Hill Activity Center was one of the many projects completed during McGury's tenure. Other projects included expansion of the Nike Sports Complex, remediation of Sportsman's Park, development of Knoch Knolls Nature Center, the renovation of Centennial Beach and the development of the 95th Street Community Plaza and Wolf's Crossing Community Park.
"Ray was extremely influential in actively pursuing health and wellness for the Naperville community and developing the Fort Hill Activity Center," Wilson said. "Naming the facility's fitness center in his honor recognizes the significant positive impact he had in promoting and expanding health and wellness opportunities for all ages and abilities."

After ratings reached an all-time low in 2021 during season 13, Andy Cohen shocked fans with the announcement that season 14 would usher in a brand-new cast, while “classic” cast members will return for a spin-off called RHONY: Legacy.
“You know that we’re at a crossroads for RHONY,” Cohen told Variety in March. “We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans. There are thousands of stories to tell here. This is the most multicultural, diverse, and energetic and exciting city in America: We are searching for a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect the most exciting city in the country. We’re looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions.”
Nearly seven months later, at Bravocon, the new cast members were revealed, including Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Dana Lichy, Lizzy Savetsky, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield, and…former president and creative director of J.Crew, Jenna Lyons. While Real Housewives of Miami introduced their first lesbian couple in 2021 with cast member Julia Lemigova and her wife, former tennis star Martina Navratilova, Lyons marks the first out gay Real Housewife of the New York variation.
On October 17, Lyons commented on the news in an Instagram video: “Good morning…I'm a little tired today,” she began, wearing her signature oversized black frames. “I just wanted to say a really heartfelt thank you. I have had the most incredible messages from people I haven't heard from in a really long time, and it feels so nice and I thank you. I know this is a really unusual and unexpected thing but thank you to everyone who's been so kind.”

Playing against ranked opponents is a daunting task for any team, but the NGU Crusader men’s soccer team stood up to the challenge for a big part of their game with #12 ranked Lander University last week.
Despite dropping a 4-0 decision, the Crusaders were not scored upon until the 67th minute and Lander scored several goals as NGU was pressing forward to try to score late in the game.
Coach Chad Gfeller said his squad had ample chances in the first half, but could not put one in the net. The teams battled to a 0-0 tie and said he was very pleased with his team’s performance against a nationally ranked opponent.
Next up for the Crusaders is six straight road games, beginning with a Saturday, Sept. 20 game at Mars Hill (NC) at 1:00 p.m.

By Zoe Kurland.
I felt a strange sense of identification as I watched 2067’s opening scene – my planet was burning, too, and I was powerless to stop it.”
The film 2067 begins in the deep dark of space. As Earth spins slowly into view, fires erupt across its surface. News flashes relay the state of things: “people have been struggling to recover from a record breaking heat wave, and it just keeps getting worse,” “entire towns have been reduced to ashes…,” “deforestation is now rapidly accelerating…” so on and so forth until the flames engulf the planet. As viewers, all we can do is sit back and watch.
I watched this film from California, and at the time of my viewing, the sky was a bizarre shade of yellow. It had been like this for days; fires ravaged the state, temperatures reached record highs (as they have continued to do), and stores sold out of air purifiers as the need for filtration skyrocketed. As one might imagine, I felt a strange sense of identification as I watched 2067’s opening scene – my planet was burning, too, and I was powerless to stop it.
But what if we had the power to change our fate? This is the question that writer/director Seth Larney asks in 2067, and his protagonist, Ethan Whyte (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is there to answer the call. Ethan is an everyman, a utility worker for a large corporation called Chronicorp, which manufactures synthetic oxygen for Earth’s last remaining city. This oxygen, sold out of rickety-looking O2 ATMs, seems to cause more problems than solutions: many people develop a fatal reaction to the compound called “the sickness,” causing them to die off in hoards. In one scene, Chronicorp’s CEO looks out the window to see buildings billowing flameless smoke: “Even the fires can’t breathe,” she says. This seems to be a metaphor; everyone in this society has their hands tied, including its antagonists.
However, it is much worse for the people at the bottom of the food chain, people like Ethan and his best friend Jude (Ryan Kwanten), who toil underground at a Chronicorp plant in less than stellar conditions. During one shift, sirens blare red as a large nuclear core threatens to explode; however, Ethan and Jude treat this warning with detached apathy, methodically stabilizing the core while chatting about grabbing a drink after work. From their non-response, one gets the sense that these kinds of threats to life come often, and there’s nothing much one can do but move forward.
Ethan has history with Chronicorp: his father worked as a lead scientist for the company, making a time machine called the Chronicle, which has sat dormant since his mysterious passing. Ethan, orphaned and thrown into a burning world where his boyhood interest in science seems useless, works only in service of survival, taking on extra shifts at Chronicorp to support his wife, Xanthe (Sana’a Shaik), who suffers from “the sickness.” As the dire situation on earth continues to escalate, the Chronicle spits out a mysterious message from the future; it reads, of all things, SEND ETHAN WHYTE. Ethan must decide whether he wants to stay to care for his wife or take a chance on saving the human race. With much trepidation, he chooses the latter, and is thus rocketed into the year 2470, on a hope and a prayer that the unpredictable Chronicle will allow him to return.
Like the best sci-fi films, a trip into the future only dredges up questions from the past. As Ethan finds, all things are interlaced; time, and thus life itself, proves to be cyclical. I spoke to Kodi Smit-McPhee about all of these themes, including the prescience of this film at this point in time, his career of apocalypse films, and the belief systems he brought to this project.
ZK: 2067 is a film about a world in which wildfires have ravaged the Earth, resources are scarce, oxygen is obsolete, and everyone has to wear a mask to go outside. This feels eerily familiar at this moment in time. Could you have ever expected you’d be releasing the film in these conditions?
KSM: No, definitely not. Definitely not this soon, that’s for sure. It’s extremely ironic and eerie. I feel like a lot of the people that watch the movie will think that we somehow accomplished basing a film on 2020 and got it out there in time, but we truly just pulled this one out of the dust and it so happened to be the world a couple of months after. It’s very strange. But at the same time, I guess, I’m not surprised that it was in my lifetime that I would be experiencing something very similar to this.
ZK: It seems like you’ve been prepping for this role your entire career. You’ve been in all of these dystopian future films, starting out with The Road, which is quite a heavy hitter, then Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, X Men, and now this…how has that affected your outlook on your work?
KSM: [laughs] I tell you what, I’ve been very picky with the jobs that I do through my whole career, even when I was pretty young. I do like to create somewhat of a reoccurring theme within the underlying message of each movie that I do. I definitely didn’t choose to do so many apocalyptic movies on purpose, but I guess they hold so many messages and themes that I feel people need to be thinking about today. Ultimately, sure, they’re entertaining, but the things that I like to be a part of are things that, beyond the entertainment, which does fade, deliver a message that sits with you and sparks somewhat of a curiosity that could maybe change your fate or your direction in life.
ZK: Your director, Seth Larney, said that he’s been watching science fiction films for his entire life, and he loves the ability of these large-scale epics to deliver important philosophical concepts. Were you a sci-fi fan as a kid, or have any sci-fi films changed your mind the way you’ve just described?
KSM: Definitely. But it happened in a reverse way, then what you just explained. I’m a follower and practitioner of philosophy and spirituality and that has greatly inspired and influenced how I choose my roles in the entertainment industry. As Seth said, with a film, you can spark that curiosity in someone just by showing them a philosophical concept that they may never have known they wanted to know about. For me, it first started within the academics. I’m the type of actor — though I don’t even know if it’s a type because I get frowned upon – but I really don’t watch that many movies, and I don’t necessarily like watching movies a lot. However, I have grown to watch a lot more ever since I found my niche of the things I’m interested in, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix, Mr. Nobody, and The Butterfly Effect. All of these things greatly influence what I choose to work on in the future and how I think about life as a whole. If I can have that effect on people that’s really special.
ZK: 2067 deals in these large philosophical concepts of brotherhood, fate, nature, and free will. I read that you’re a Freemason, and I was wondering how you came upon that belief system, which also deals in those concepts, and how it influenced your approach to this film.
KSM: Ever since I can remember, I have always had a deep curiosity for the universe and my place within it. That curiosity was always alongside an awe, just in love with the beauty of nature unfolding infinitely. I always followed that. I feel like in our day and age we’ve all had a stage in our life, or even just a little thought cross our mind, when we think about our existence, a higher nature beyond us, or maybe even a great work or a mission that we have to do here. But that is quickly swept under the rug once we kind of leave from kindergarten, school, or college. The world starts to go from a playground into something more of a labor.
ZK: Your character, Ethan, seems to be very much in that labor stage….
KSM: Once it becomes a labor, and the labor is defined by having to put food on the table and a roof over your head, that curiosity and those questions get quickly swept under the rug because our energy is needed in other places. It’s very sad. But luckily for myself and many other thinkers and artists and philosophers in the world, if you can keep that spark alive, then you discover very beautiful things that you may think the world didn’t know. I remember growing up looking at science and I thought, wow, we’re really getting there, but we really don’t have a grasp at all on what our existence is about. But the more that I questioned, the more I discovered. I continued studying quantum physics, philosophy, sciences and studied so many religions somewhat to their core to basically see the ultimate truth within all of them expressed in different ways. And that’s what freemasonry is about. It utilizes its own symbols to express basically what all religions are trying to express, but in a way where they don’t divide each other. From my discovery, [freemasonry] is ultimately just academics of philosophy and self-development.
ZK: How do you apply this to your work as an actor?
KSM: I do that by works of recognizing the work of writers and directors and producers. Once you’ve tapped into curiosity within the truth and you’re on that mission, you can easily distinguish those who are on the same path. I was attracted to symbolism and films like . I’m even obsessed with the hero’s journey – you can relate to every story you tell in some way because you can relate to one of the arcs of the characters, whether it’s the protagonist or the antagonist, you can find itself within the hero’s journey. And if you’re not the hero, then you have some work to do in terms of aligning your life to that. I’ve studied archetypes and things like this, just a lot of stuff that I don’t think they traditionally teach an actor. In a very reversed way, it’s the ancient stuff that propelled me to choose and act in a way that I do and express the messages that I do for our current day. I don’t ever necessarily get to speak like this in interviews. People are just like, “Who is this kid that doesn’t watch movies at all? But he seems to be going for all of these movies with such a great message, and he does it very passionately.” If they don’t sit down and talk to me in this way, they will never truly understand the mechanism of where that’s coming from.
ZK: In the face of all of these large concepts, I found your performance to be very grounded and intimate. I’m curious to know how, amidst the special effects and the fantasy elements, you maintained that.
KSM: I think just the passion for the story itself. It’s ultimately just faith – very, very similar to the story itself – when it comes to green screen CGI and all that stuff. I mean, you’re standing on a green box in a green warehouse and you have no idea what it’s going to look like afterwards. You just have to do your best as actor. But it has come out to look absolutely amazing, so I would compliment the chef on that one – the director, all of his work and all of his commitment and faith and genius. I was just a little intricate part in that.

Debate had plenty of shots, but few likely caught it
COLUMBUS Tuesday's debate between gubernatorial candidates J. Kenneth Blackwell and Ted Strickland provided plenty of shots but likely did little to inform voters.Blackwell, Ohio's secretary of state and the GOP gubernatorial nominee, referred to Strickland, the Democratic nominee, as a "tax and spend" liberal during the live, televised debate in Youngstown, the first of four scheduled debates between the two leading up to the Nov. 7 general election.Meanwhile, Strickland, an eastern Ohio congressman, labeled Blackwell a "flip-flopper" while pushing his own proposals as being the right prescription to push Ohio into the future. But in the end, with the debate being held and broadcast at noon on a weekday, it's likely very few voters were able to catch the debate.Both candidates at times went on the offensive. Hitting on an oft-repeated theme, Blackwell blasted away at Strickland, obviously seeking to portray the congressman as an undistinguished, inside-the-Washington-beltway politician. "He's a tax and spender," Blackwell said of Strickland. "He's a back-bencher.""Tax increases are not a part of my plan," Strickland fired back at one point. "I'm not planning to raise taxes." Strickland called Blackwell a "flip-flopper "and said he was unsure of Blackwell's position on some issues.After a question from the media panel on whether Blackwell had changed from supporting a "right to work" law that would allow companies to prohibit union membership, Blackwell said he did not change his position.Blackwell said he supports a "right to work" law but there was no support in the GOP-led Legislature to pass one."My opponent is a flip-flopper," Strickland said. "He did flip-flop on the "right to work" issue. He flip-flopped on the (Tax Expenditure Limitation) issue."Blackwell repeatedly vowed before the May primary election he planned to fight for a proposed state constitutional amendment he said would limit the growth of state government spending. After winning the primary, however, Blackwell agreed to support a state law with softer limits on state spending instead of the controversial amendment.Blackwell and Strickland also jousted on Blackwell's proposal to lease the Ohio Turnpike to private interests to generate an economic development fund Blackwell said would generate between $4 billion and $6 billion.Strickland called Blackwell's proposal a "scheme" and said he feared Ohio's 241-mile toll road would be controlled by foreign companies, if Blackwell is successful.Blackwell responded Indiana has begun a lease of that state's toll road and has received more than $3.5 billion in proceeds from the venture.Blackwell says Ohio's turnpike could garner significant lease dollars as well."This is no gimmick," Blackwell said.One questioner on the media panel asked Strickland how Ohio voters could be expected to take his proposals to lead the state seriously when the congressional district he represents in eastern Ohio continues to be mired in poverty.Strickland answered, in part, he believed he has been a good congressman.Strickland said he has been re-elected in a GOP-leaning congressional district and he's fought for roads to be built in his district and he's fought for a children's health insurance program."I think I've been very effective," Strickland said.As might be expected, Blackwell seemed less than impressed. "His record is his record," Blackwell quipped about Strickland. "He's a tax and spender."Blackwell claimed Strickland has voted for 31 tax increases and against 52 tax cuts during his years in Congress. The Strickland campaign labeled Blackwell's assertion a "distortion" and said Strickland has voted numerous times to cut taxes for working-class families.During the debate, Blackwell played up his proposals to convert the state income tax to a single-rate system with a target rate of 3.25 percent and to streamline state regulations and to continue with lawsuit reform.Strickland plugged his "Turnaround Ohio" plan he says would connect education and health-care reform and that would capitalize on Ohio's strengths to economic development.Polls have Blackwell down to Strickland by varying amounts. Neither Blackwell nor Strickland appeared to score any knockouts and it probably didn't help either the debate was held and televised at a time when no one was likely to be watching.The remaining debates are scheduled for Sept. 20 in Cleveland, Oct. 4 in Cincinnati and Oct. 16 in Columbus. The Columbus debate is tentative.Jeff Ortega is Dix Newspapers Capital Bureau chief. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.org. Check out his blog at http://blogs.recordpub.com/jeffortega.

An exuberant story in singsong about the pleasures of sharing with friends, from the author of The Seven Silly Eaters (p. 223). Oliver Tolliver, perhaps an Airedale terrier, thinks he has the perfect home, for he has one of everything he needs. He invites a small gray tabby cat, Peggoty Small, in to admire his accoutrements, but is dismayed that she finds his arrangements less than inviting. Oliver makes haste to equip his house more hospitably and is soon sharing his happy home not only with Peggoty but with a whole party of new friends as well. The simple story is borne along in lighthearted verse and busy, full-bleed paintings; children will enjoy touring Oliver's ``little old tumbledown house,'' with its riot of colors, jumble of patterns, curvaceous furniture, and dancing perspectives. Finding all the things Oliver adds to his house to make it fit for two is a pleasant challenge. (Picture book. 4-7) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

A back office application comprises the software that an organization uses to administer operations that are not related to any direct sales effort (such as a salesperson with a customer present) and interfaces that are not seen by consumers.
In direct contrast, a front office application would be a customer interface, (whether used in person or through sales personnel) that facilitates a sale or the processing of a transaction.
Application service providers (ASP) offer back office technologies where computer-based services are provided via a network, usually the internet.
PurchasingBack office applications can be varied and depending on the vendors, not ported that well (or at all often) to each other depending on the technologies involved.
Many organizations have an evolving computer system and networks and have some have excessive administration due to the non-interoperability of its back office applications. Integrated back office applications which have multiple functionality are now becoming more popular as they circumvent this problem. Problems can occur when sensitive data has to be shared as legislation often prevents sharing such as in the world of medical, criminal and legal records.
Back office applications are offered a number of software vendors from the larger back office systems that large corporations or public services might use to the more modest applications that might have quite some functionality but quite possibly only intended for use in smaller organizations.
The range of features a back office might include:
Vendors offer options that make a back office suite customizable as it is often provided in a modular format or with compatible applications bundled together such as in Microsoft Office.
The most efficient back office applications help to reduce bottlenecks in service as the data they use is shared and available easily between the back office applications.
For example data sharing would be useful in the case of a shared customer name and address database where several back office applications could access the same data. This would save the data having to be transferred, copied or re-entered by a worker and hence reduce the administration cost and reduce errors in administration too.
The sharing of data between back office applications can also take place across Wide Area Networks (WANS) as back-office applications generally offer internet and intranet operation. These back office applications offer the chance for global organizations to share data and use a common interface to access/process it.

Irina HovannisianRomania will not join France and other Western states in officially accepting the massacres of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey as genocide, Romanian President Traian Basescu said on Tuesday.
He explained that his country does not want to risk spoiling its relations with Turkey, which strongly denies that the 1915-1918 mass killings and deportations constituted a genocide.
Basescu made the comments at a meeting with Yerevan State University students on the second day of his official visit to Armenia. Asked by a student whether he is ready to follow French President Jacques Chirac’s example and urge Ankara to recognize the genocide, he said, “We will not do anything affecting our neutrality in our relations with all the countries of the Black Sea region.”
Visiting Yerevan last week, Chirac indicated that genocide recognition should be a precondition for Turkey’s membership in the European Union. "Each country grows by acknowledging its dramas and errors of the past,” he said.
Basescu claimed, however, that it is Armenia that complicates its integration into European structures by raising the genocide issue on the international stage. “Keep history on the history books and in the memory of the peoples, and rebuild the future,” he said. “If history constantly stands in the way of the future as a bone of contention, you won’t achieve success in European integration.”
Basescu argued that Romania laid to rest its historical disputes with neighbors for the sake of membership in NATO and the EU. “Romania is one of the countries which at any moment can have disputes with neighbors regarding the border, history and so on. So is Armenia and so is Turkey,” he said.
The Armenian genocide has been officially recognized by the governments and parliaments of about two dozen nations, including France, Italy, Canada and Russia.

Aegis sees global rise in ad spending
MEDIA and marketing group Aegis today added its voice to the growing volume of companies forecasting a significant upturn in advertising spending this year.
The group expects worldwide advertising spending to rise by 4.7% during 2004, boosted by the Athens Olympics and the US Presidential elections. That compares with growth of 3.2% in 2003 as the industry began its slow ascent out of its worst recession for years.
Ahead of full-year figures in March, Aegis said that trading in 2003 was in line with market expectations and up on the previous year. It added that good cash management and lower interest rates meant interest paid last year was less than analysts had forecast.
The strongest growth in advertising spend in the coming year is expected to be in the Asia-Pacific region with an upturn of 6% compared with 4.2% last year.
The US market will grow by 4.7%, up from 3.4%, while Europe will prove the laggard with ad spend up by 3.6% but that is a big improvement on last year's 1.7%.
Aegis said its main media agency, which trades under the Carat brand, was growing well in North America, where the Bush campaign has brought in $120m (£67m), and Asia-Pacific and is even matching budgeted targets in the softer European market.
Market research division Synovate had a solid 2003 after two tough years. Both divisions are benefiting from an increasingly global view on advertising and research taken by its main multinational clients.

MIAMI (AP) — Immigrant rights organizations are suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials over the constitutionality of the state’s migrant relocation program. The suit was filed Thursday by Florida Immigrant Coalition, Americans for Immigrant Justice and Hope Community Center. Earlier this year, the Florida Legislature approved a $12 million budget item to relocate people in the country illegally from Florida to another location. The money came from interest earned from federal funds given to Florida under the American Rescue Plan. The lawsuit claims that the appropriation creates an incoherent definition of “unauthorized alien” that is inconsistent with federal immigration laws.

What age do bearded dragons lay infertile eggs?
Female bearded dragons can lay unfertilized eggs as early as 9-10 months of age, although this is more so a rarity. You definitely do not want your female dragon laying eggs while she is still young and growing. If she lays eggs before she is fully grown, she risks a loss of calcium in her body.
How often can bearded dragons lay eggs?
A healthy female bearded dragon will lay four or five clutches of eggs year round. This could happen in two bursts, ten clutches or more. Some bearded dragons just lay continuously for months. There is no way to make it stop earlier or later.
What does an infertile bearded dragon egg look like?
Yes, female bearded dragons can lay eggs without ever coming into contact with a male. However, these eggs will be infertile and will not develop into babies. Unfertilized eggs will be dented, slightly yellow in color, and should be removed from the enclosure before they go rotten.
How can you tell if your female bearded dragon is pregnant?
When a female bearded dragon is getting ready to lay her eggs, she may seem more lethargic than usual and spend more time sleeping or laying under the heat lamp. The bearded dragon’s belly will also appear larger than usual since it is filled with eggs.
How old does a bearded dragon have to be to lay eggs?
But she will still need to lay the eggs no matter if they are viable or not. During the first year, after a female bearded dragon reaches sexual maturity (which can be around 6-15 months old) she will lay around 2-3 clutches of eggs.
How often to feed a bearded dragon at any age?
For babies under 3 months, aim to feed them 5 times a day. Babies 3-6 months should be fed 3-4 times a day, while those six months old should be fed 3 times a day, working their way down to 2 times a day as they approach a year of age. On a personal note, I remember many moons ago having my first bearded dragon how lost I was!
Why does my bearded dragon shed all the time?
Shedding is an irritable time for bearded dragons and shedding can be triggered by many things including environment, diet and health but for the most part, it is caused by growth and development for baby and juvenile bearded dragons. Hatchies (baby bearded dragons) will shed almost every week.
What are the symptoms of egg binding on a bearded dragon?
Symptoms of egg binding include swelling around the mid-section of the body, continual, anxious movement, and constant digging. If you suspect egg binding, supply a suitable nesting site and contact your veterinarian immediately.
How often do bearded dragons lay their eggs?
Some females will lay their clutch (their eggs) over the course of 1-2 days, then rest for a few weeks, and then repeat the process all over again. All together, this happens within a few months of time. Some females will lay eggs more often than others. Remember that some females may never even lay eggs ever!
Can a bearded dragon be pregnant if there are no males?
This means, that even if your female bearded dragon hasn’t been around any males, she could still be “gravid” AKA pregnant and lay a clutch of infertile eggs. In the weeks leading up to your female laying her eggs, regardless of whether they’re fertile or infertile, she will likely display some specific behaviors.
When to take a bearded dragon to the vet?
Bearded dragons that retain eggs for over 45 days may be egg bound. If it has been over a month since you first saw eggs inside your bearded dragon, she hasn’t laid any, and she’s lethargic and sleeping a lot, you need to get her to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
How often should you feed a 6 month old bearded dragon?
Babies 3-6 months should be fed 3-4 times a day, while those six months old should be fed 3 times a day, working their way down to 2 times a day as they approach a year of age. On a personal note, I remember many moons ago having my first bearded dragon how lost I was!
However, these eggs will be infertile and will not develop into babies. Unfertilized eggs will be dented, slightly yellow in color, and should be removed from the enclosure before they go rotten. As far as captivating egg-laying goes, the female bearded dragon ranks pretty highly on the curiosity scale.
Do bearded dragons randomly lay eggs?
Yes, even a female bearded dragon that lives alone can lay eggs. This may be because it recently spent time with a male bearded dragon or simply because it is not uncommon for female bearded dragons, and other types of animals, to lay infertile eggs without ever having been with a male.
How do I dispose of my infertile bearded dragon eggs?
You should remove the dead or the infertile eggs away as soon as possible and get rid of them, if any of the above is not possible you can simply throw away those eggs and get rid of them. So that it does not create any issue for you or even the bearded dragon.
How can you tell if bearded dragon eggs are fertile?
If bearded dragon eggs are rotated after they are deposited, they will likely perish. Take the eggs to a dark room and shine a bright but small pen light through the egg from behind. If the eggs are fertile, you will see a network of blood vessels, and the light coming through the egg may be primarily pink.

Today, we drove up Highway 74 to the top of the mountain and hiked the Cactus Spring Trail out to the old gypsum mine. One of the most beautiful trails I’ve been on and a great way to get away from everything. We saw one other hiker on the trail today. The trailhead is only a 25 minute drive from Palm Desert.

Jimmy Butler wants out of Minnesota, and that desire did not change after a reported meeting with Timberwolves president and coach Tom Thibodeau.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski, Thibodeau met with Butler on Monday in hopes of convincing the four-time All-Star to work through his displeasure with the franchise.
Butler, however, appears intent on switching teams before his next regular season game.
Minnesota Timberwolves President/Coach Tom Thibodeau met with All-Star forward Jimmy Butler on Monday and tried to convince him to eventually rejoin the team in the preseason, league sources tell ESPN. Butler is sitting out, awaiting the organization to honor his trade request.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 25, 2018
Building off @wojespn tweet: sources say Jimmy Butler remained resolute during his talk with Thibs that his position would not change.— Jon Krawczynski (@JonKrawczynski) September 25, 2018
If Butler does remain adament on leaving Minnesota, it appears Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is all too willing to accommodate him. Reports over the weekend had Taylor centering his front office's agenda around dealing Butler sooner rather than later. That news went hand-in-hand with the Timberwolves handing All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns a five-year, super maximum extension.

Ecdysone-dependent feedback regulation of prothoracicotropic hormone controls the timing of developmental maturation

- Ecdysone-dependent feedback regulation of prothoracicotropic hormone controls the timing of developmental maturation
Forlagets udgivne version, 3,22 MB, PDF-dokument
The activation of a neuroendocrine system that induces a surge in steroid production is a conserved initiator of the juvenile-to-adult transition in many animals. The trigger for maturation is the secretion of brain-derived neuropeptides, yet the mechanisms controlling the timely onset of this event remain ill-defined. Here, we show that a regulatory feedback circuit controlling the Drosophila neuropeptide Prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) triggers maturation onset. We identify the Ecdysone Receptor (EcR) in the PTTH-expressing neurons (PTTHn) as a regulator of developmental maturation onset. Loss of EcR in these PTTHn impairs PTTH signaling, which delays maturation. We find that the steroid ecdysone dose-dependently affects Ptth transcription, promoting its expression at lower concentrations and inhibiting it at higher concentrations. Our findings indicate the existence of a feedback circuit in which rising ecdysone levels trigger, via EcR activity in the PTTHn, the PTTH surge that generates the maturation-inducing ecdysone peak toward the end of larval development. Because steroid feedback is also known to control the vertebrate maturation-inducing hypothalamicpituitary-gonadal axis, our findings suggest an overall conservation of the feedback-regulatory neuroendocrine circuitry that controls the timing of maturation initiation.

What realizations does Chris come to at the end (besides happiness being real when shared)?
According to the note posted outside the bus, which was discovered by the group of people who found Christopher McCandless's body, McCandless had come to the realization that he had lived a good life. In addition, he signed the note with his real name, Christopher J. McCandless, so it is reasonable to assume that he felt he had made peace with his intensely negative feelings toward his family and come to accept himself as who he was. For at least the last several years, he seems to have blamed his parents and society for his unhappiness and felt that he deserved something more. In the end, he knew that his life had been good, and that being himself was not a bad thing, even considering his problems.

Last year in September also PGL has tried to launch their new issue. The company failed to float the IPO even after all approvals. When we reviewed the company on last year, we kept our view NEUTRAL and asked investors to invest at their own risk. The current earnings per share of the company quote at 1.85 and the PE ratio are 20. Based on our analysis, we are still at the same point where we were in our Penta Gold Limited IPO Review posted last year. An investor can apply for PGL IPO at their own risk, but with a long-term view.

The workplace is faced with many challenges which require different responses from different stakeholders for normalcy. However, in the process of seeking solutions to those challenges, many stakeholders have unintentionally taken actions that continuously lead to an increase in workplace toxicity. When this happens, tension increases, employees are confused, performance is hindered and employers become more furious.
How do we prevent or manage such situations? Our panellists will be providing insights into this at the April edition of the CIPM and You webinar on Managing Workplace Toxicity.

A Seattle resident removes marijuana from a plastic bag. Washington and Colorado became the first states to vote to decriminalize and regulate the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana by adults over 21.
Americans are split over whether marijuana should be decriminalized -- 50% say no, 48% say yes -- but they overwhelmingly agree on this: When states vote to legalize pot, the feds should look the other way.
The issue has taken on a new urgency after Colorado and Washington state voted last month to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. That puts the two states in conflict with federal drug laws.
The Justice Department said Wednesday that its enforcement of drug laws "remains unchanged." ...


The population of indigenous people of the rainforest in Brazil is estimated at a little over 700,000 people. There are over 200 different tribes with around 170 languages spoken within those tribes that make up the group of people referred to as indigenous to Brazil. Each tribe or culture is distinctly unique with their own customs, way of living, and language.
Some of these groups have relocated from the rural areas to the city, some live within an area they have settled into, some live in areas where they are isolated completely from other people, and still other groups of indigenous people have yet to be contacted by outsiders.
It was estimated by FUNAI in 2007 that there could be as many as 67 uncontacted tribes living in Brazil. FUNAI is the Fundação Nacional do Índio, a Brazilian governmental protection agency that looks out for the interests of the indigenous people of Brazil.
Indigenous people are those people who lived in Brazil even before the Europeans came to the country and essentially took over, which was sometime in 1500. They are uniquely ethnic groups who love living on the wealth of the land without endangering the plants and animals within the land.
Some of the tribes travel whereas others stay put in one area. Unfortunately, when the Europeans came to Brazil, thousands of indigenous people were murdered or died from the sickness brought in by the settlers.
The indigenous people of Brazil have extensive knowledge of how to live within the rainforest and the land. Their food, medicine, and clothing come from the forest.
The medicinal knowledge that the shamans and medicine men have in these tribes is extensive and is believed to be an untapped resource for finding cures to many diseases.
Indigenous people of the rainforest have lived in the lush rainforest for thousands of years and have passed down centuries of knowledge to each generation.
They like living simply and know that the forest provides privacy to live their own way with their own customs and language. They understand how the land provides their needs and they actively pursue what is called a sustainable way of living. They use the food and animals in the rainforest, but don't harm the delicate balance of the ecosystem to live they way they do.
Outside influences such as illness, mining, ranching, and logging are all factors in causing the eventual demise of the indigenous people and their way of living unless active measures are taken to protect them and their culture.
Once outsiders like ranchers, miners, and loggers began making inroads to the rainforest of Brazil, the indigenous people had to move their home to another part of the forest. They were driven off the land or they were taken forcibly as slaves to work the farms or in the gold mines.
How can this happen? These tribes and cultures of the rainforest have never filed deeds for the land on which they live because they believe it doesn't belong to any one person, so outsiders didn't recognize their innate right to live there and keep their land.
Sadly, as a result of outsiders coming into the rainforest and exploiting the rich resources within it, the indigenous people have sometimes been forced to move into the cities. The lifestyle in the city is completely foreign to them and so they end up living in abject poverty, trying to figure out how to live in such different surroundings.
Recent generations of indigenous people are seeing their children leaning toward the Western world's way of living as a result of being forced to live in the cities and outside of the humble means by which they came.
It's a sad fact that as the generations of these people are moving away from the knowledge of their elders and ancestors, that knowledge will soon be lost forever.
They embody the very essence of what it means to cohabitate with the land and the resources of the land without affecting it adversely. They understand how to live simply and comfortably by working the land to grow food, hunt for the purpose of food and for clothing, and they know how to use fruits, plants, and flowering species in the rainforest to cure many diseases and ailments naturally.
Scientists and agronomists are slowly beginning to understand and embrace the fact that the indigenous people living in Brazil's rainforest are not a threat to the rainforest, but rather an incredible asset to the forest and to the world as a whole. Learning from these people could very well be the key to conserving the rainforest's resources, food, and medicines.
The Yanomami tribe resides in a territory along Brazil's border shared with Venezuela. They were given nearly 94,000 square kilometers of land to call home by the government of Brazil around 1992. They live communally with one large house as the center of the village.
There is a central courtyard in which the tribe gathers for religious ceremonies and celebrations. The roof of the central house is so large that each family of the tribe builds a hearth underneath it. They sleep on simple hammocks hung around their hearth.
Unfortunately, despite a mandate to miners to leave the territory, many times they will return and take from the land mercilessly. Sometimes, members of the Yanomami tribe are killed in the process.
This unique culture is in critical danger of becoming extinct as their numbers are continuing to drop each decade. They live peaceably on the Maici River of Brazil and are considered Amazonian Indians.
Unfortunately, researchers have not been able to tap into this tribe's wealth of knowledge.
There is very little written about this tribe of Brazil. They reside in Brazil's Para State. An estimate of their population was taken in 2002 - they numbered around 3,300 at that time. There are photographs of the Kaiapo on the Internet, but nothing comprehensive has been written about their lifestyle or customs.
Many of the indigenous people of the rainforest of Brazil enjoy living simply and privately, which means there is very little written about them. These three tribes of Brazil's rainforest are a minute representation of the hundreds of tribes living within the rainforest of Brazil.

Mark Fabiani, point person for the San Diego Chargers' stadium issue, said the organization had its eye on land in Carson, California, for a new stadium proposal for some time, but things heated up in January after St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans to build an NFL stadium in nearby Inglewood.
"It really ramped up in early January when Stan Kroenke made his move," Fabiani said Thursday. "Obviously, this is a site that's been well-known to the NFL. This was the site in the late 1990s that was the Los Angeles choice for the supposed expansion team that ended up going to Houston. And then subsequent to that, the league has tried to buy the site three separate times. So it's a well-known site.
"The league has always liked it because it's approximate to the Westside of L.A. and it's approximate to Orange County. So it's kind of in the sweet spot of where you want to be in Los Angeles in terms of ticket buyers."
So why did the Chargers announce the proposal for a new stadium in Los Angeles now?
"We really thought that we would have another year of relatively quiet work in San Diego," Fabiani said. "We announced in December that we would not be relocating, and we did not think any other team would be making the move before we were. Obviously, we were proved wrong with Kroenke's actions in January. And so things really ramped up with us and the land in January, and really within the last couple weeks with the Raiders."
Fabiani said although the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders are rivals on the field, the owners and the front offices of the two organizations have had a good relationship off of it. Chargers owner Alex Spanos was brought into the NFL by legendary Raiders owner Al Davis.
Davis served as offensive assistant for the Chargers from 1960 to 1962.
"These are the two California teams that have problems," Fabiani said. "They're the two California teams that have worked hard on solutions, certainly compared to what's happened in St. Louis. You have these two teams in California that have been working on this for years."
What do you say to fans of the Chargers in San Diego?
"It's really no different than what we've been trying to say for the last month and a half, and that is we are out of time," Fabiani said. "Stan Kroenke has forced our hand. We have to protect the future of our business. We have to preserve the quarter of our local revenues that come from L.A. and Orange County. And although we're still trying to get a result that is a positive result in San Diego, we have to for the future of our franchise protect our options. And we've been saying that for weeks."
So ideally the Chargers want to remain in San Diego?
"Absolutely," Fabiani said. "That's always been Dean Spanos' goal, is to keep the team in San Diego. And if we can find an acceptable solution here -- one that is acceptable to the mayor, the Chargers and the NFL -- and, most importantly, one that is acceptable to voters, that's always been our goal. And it remains our goal.
"Now again, we also have been very candid with people. It's been 13 years. This is Year 14. What's going to be different in Year 14 than the prior 13? The barriers are still there, so we have to be candid about that. But at the same time, we're going to keep trying."
What makes the stadium site in Carson more preferable than the one in Inglewood?
"We believe it's the best site, and the NFL has always loved the site," Fabiani said. "First of all, there's a lot of space on the land, so you can do whatever you want to create a great fan experience on game day. It's not going to be part of another development. It's not going to be something that has joint uses. It's going to be solely devoted to the fan experience on game day.
"It's easily accessible from L.A. and Orange County. It's easily accessible from the freeway systems. There will be ample parking. And inevitably in Los Angeles, if the stadium gets built there's going to be two teams in the stadium. That was always I think a given. If ever there was a stadium built, there were going to be two teams in it. That's just the reality of the world. And two teams make it much easier to finance. That's not brain surgery."
