While the cars rushing at road 136: an on the way to Borgholm, then there’s the peace and quiet that we so badly need, close at hand. Eleven kilometers from the bridge in the direction of Algutsrum and Jordtorp you find the close to nature living Rosenborg. The last three kilometres you take on a beautiful old dirt road.
Rosenborg is a typical old Öland farm built in 1758. The farm is completely independent from surrounding neighbours. The site was previously not used and life was hard for the settlers who settled on this “outfield”. Now it is a valuable place in these busy and impatient times.
Rosenborg is located in the famous Mittlandsskogen. In the Woods grow deciduous trees such as oak, beech, Elm, ash, Hazel etc. Mittlandsskogen has been used for pasture for cows, sheep and horses since the bronze age. These conditions have created unique environments for plants and animals.
The bike is a great way of travel to experience Öland and especially the East side. Just turn at one of the roads leading down to the sea and you will get a new picture of Öland.
You may prefer to sip a cup of coffee, listening to the birds or talking with a good friend. Rosenborg is well suited for that also!
Welcome to our close to nature living at Rosenborgs Friluftspensionat.

MOSTLY, CLAIRE, who may have been the only good thing about Meet Joe Black, has hovered in the politesse of Earl Grey, with the grace of a Vermeer and the suggestiveness of a Jane Austen character slowly slipping off a glove. Often when she speaks, the influence of her British mum sneaks out in the use of words like decorum and stodgy. What surprises, then, is the appearance of the actress's unpredictable Mediterranean side, her Italian father's side--the side we see in Boys and Girls, which is in theaters now. Her laugh turns hearty, her hair begs a little tousling, and decorum is left behind. It was in one of these moments that she accepted a role in the recently released Into My Heart:
I was like, No way would I play an adulteress, I abhor that- I think it's immoral. And then a year later I'm like, Wait, I really want to do that. I am an unpredictable journey.

What are the origins of black cat superstitions? We separate the myths from the facts.
For centuries, black cats have played an important role in superstition, mythology and folklore – with many of these superstitions continuing to this very day.
In fact, in a survey conducted by Cats Protection, it was found that, rather than dying out, some myths about black cats being unlucky have some currency with young people. Of those surveyed aged 18-24, 12% said that black cats were unlucky, while only 2% of over 55-year-olds did.
Why is there prejudice against black cats?
Black cats can take longer to rehome than other coloured cats. Some reasons for this are:
- people are superstitious about black cats
- they think black cats aren’t photogenic or ‘Instagrammable’
- they consider black cats to be less friendly or playful due to not being able to read their facial expressions
Black cat superstitions
Black cats weren’t always the subject of superstitions or thought of as bad luck. In fact, as far back as 3000 BCE, the Egyptians held cats (including black cats) in high esteem, and to kill one was considered a capital crime.
In Europe, during the Middle Ages, black cats’ glorified status started to crumble, as they became associated with witches. It was thought that black cats were the cause of bad luck, assisting witches in dark deeds, or that they were reincarnated witches in feline form.
The hysteria of witches practising black magic struck European cities during these times. Alley cats were often cared for and fed by poor and lonely ladies, who were later accused of witchery.
This is where the idea began to develop that if a black cat crosses your path, something bad will happen.
Black cats don’t photograph well
Black cats have been shunned for not taking good selfies. Many people display their lives on social media and think that black cats don’t show up well in photos and therefore aren’t photogenic or ‘Instagrammable’.
It’s hard to read their facial expressions
Black cats are considered to be less friendly or not playful due to people finding it difficult to read their facial expressions. The dark-furred felines are then classed as aggressive and less adoptable.
Are black cats lucky?
In some parts of the world black cats are actually considered to be good luck. For example:
- In parts of England, a black cat as a wedding gift is thought to bring good luck to the bride.
- Owning a black cat in Asia is considered lucky.
- In Scotland, if a black cat appears on your doorstep, it is seen as a sign of prosperity.
- In the south of France, black cats are referred to as ‘matagots’ or ‘magician cats’ and, according to local superstition, feeding and treating them well will bring good luck to the owner.
- In northern Europe, taking in and caring for a black cat can ensure fair weather and safe passage during voyages on the sea.
- If you hear a black cat sneeze in Italy, you’re in for a streak of good luck.
- Black cats are a symbol of good luck in Japan and if someone sees a black cat crossing their path, they say ‘konnichiwa’ and take control of their own luck.

The Steelers have made a significant change to their coaching staff just two days before Thanksgiving, moving Matt Canada completely out of the stadium. While the team has been successful so far this season, with a 6-4 record and relevance in the league, their offense is struggling. They have been outgained every week and lack an identity, rhythm, and flow on offense.
On Sunday’s game against the Ravens, it was clear that the offense was in shambles, with only 10 total points scored. Diontae Johnson was reportedly carried away from a member of the coaching staff, and head coach Mike Tomlin had to intervene in a kerfuffle between players. Running back Najee Harris also made post-game comments indicating that he was at his breaking point.
So what’s next for the Steelers? The team is still seeking more details on how they will operate moving forward, but it seems like someone else will be calling the shots. Running backs coach Eddie Faulkner has been reportedly tasked with taking over as offensive coordinator, while quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will be calling the plays. It remains to be seen if this new offensive brain trust will be able to turn things around or if they are destined for further struggles.
One potential issue facing the Steelers is that Kenny Pickett may not be cut out for this role. While he has shown promise in his second season as starter, there is no standout quality about his play that makes anyone say “wow.” He lacks big throws into tight spots and limited mobility on the field. This raises questions about whether Pittsburgh got it wrong by making him a first-round pick in 2022 or if they should consider pivoting to Mitch Trubisky or another QB in future seasons.

March 1, 2022How to Liberate Your Data [Scientists] with a Semantic Layer
AtScale was conceived as an independent semantic layer for data and analytics for business intelligence users. Leading BI teams use AtScale to create enterprise metrics hubs, enabling self-serve access to a consistent source of metrics that are tied to data platforms with managed data pipelines. The feature stores employed by the enterprise AI and data science community have many similarities to metrics hubs and can likewise leverage the capabilities of a semantic layer managing access to cloud data.
Feature Stores are Hot
Feature stores have been a hot topic within data science circles in 2021. It has only been 4 years since Uber publicly started talking about their ML platform Michelangelo where they defined the term feature store as a layer of data management that “allows teams to share, discover, and use a highly curated set of features for their machine learning problems.” The term, feature store, has grown in popularity, with different players in the AI/ML ecosystem rallying behind the category.
Standalone startups are pushing their visions for what constitutes a feature store. Cloud data platforms and AutoML platforms are partnering or building their own feature store offerings. Despite the hype, the category is still relatively new and the majority of enterprise data science programs are only starting to formalize feature store strategies. Gartner puts Feature Stores at the most nascent position in their Hype Cycle for Data Science and Machine Learning.
AtScale has been working with customers and advocating for the use of a semantic layer to bridge the gap between AI and BI. We introduced AI-link as a utility for data scientists to interact with an AtScale semantic layer with native Python connectivity. This enables data scientists to source features from the semantic layer into models managed in Jupyter notebooks, ML pipelines, or AutoML platforms. This post delves into the potential for leveraging AtScale to build enterprise feature stores.
Basic Functions of a Feature Store
The feature store category is still taking form – with great community involvement from groups like featurestore.org and influence from leading-edge teams like Uber’s Michelangelo, AirBnB’s Zipline, and the open source project Feast. While there is no formalized set of capabilities that constitute a full-function feature store, there are some basics that everyone agrees on:
- Feature curation. Feature stores represent a governed set of features drawing on a wide range of data – first party data from enterprise applications, second party data shared by partners, and third party data acquired by data providers.
- Simplify access to curated set of features. Data scientists spend too much time data wrangling. By exposing a pre-built set of features, data scientists can focus on model development and implementation, relying on data teams to manage the data pipelines feeding feature stores and the curation of individual features.
- Feature discoverability & reusability. A feature store should enable data scientists to easily search available features. The ability to reuse features already developed saves time and ensures consistency across models and teams.
- Manage feature lineage. Data teams need to be able to track lineage of features in order to evaluate the impact a change to underlying data may have on production models. Furthermore, as features are re-used, it is important to know which models are using a given feature.
- Harden data pipelines for production models. Beyond impact analysis using lineage analysis, it is important for production models to be insulated from changes to underlying data. A well-managed feature store can serve as a buffer from changes to raw data sources. Snapshotting of features at is important for reproducibility analysis.
- Feature serving. Features stores serve data to both training and production models. Managing performant access to features as well as managing the updating of features (in real-time or near real-time) is important.
Feature Engineering with AtScale
Ben Taylor, Chief Evangelist for DataRobot, says “Smarter features make smarter models.” In a recent conversation, he talked about the importance of getting subject matter experts (SMEs) to engineer features that make sense for the business. “Smarter features can lead to better ‘alpha, or prediction quality. In addition to more lift, smarter features can also lead to better storytelling and more actionable insights for the SMEs.”
Feature engineering is the transformation of raw data into features that represent business drivers in the format that models can work with. Simple features may be direct metrics (e.g. sale quantities) or categoricals (e.g. geography) extracted directly from raw data sets. More complicated features may be based on numerical calculations (e.g. gross margin = revenue – cost / revenue),categorizations (e.g. bucketing towns into states), or standardizations (e.g. standardizing date expressions). Time relative features (weighted averages over different time windows or period-to-period changes for different time lags) are commonly engineered for time series models.
AtScale incorporates a modeling platform that lets users easily create and publish calculated metrics and dimensions for use in BI metrics dashboards and/or as features for ML models.
Feature Investigation with AtScale
Daniel Gray, Vice President of Systems Engineering at AtScale, talks often about how a semantic layer can help scale enterprise AI programs. Daniel told me, “We are seeing customers pushing to break down the silos separating data science teams from broader business. We see cohesive teams including data science, ML ops, Devops and Business Intelligence being build around specific business initiatives. Project owners, the business, and executives are held accountable for the performance of the machine learning/AI initiatives.”
A key technical enabler of this kind of cross-functional collaboration is making it easier to discover available features. While many data science projects may start with an exploratory analysis of raw data, feature stores that support investigation can help accelerate the development of production models.
AtScale facilitates feature investigation in a few important ways:
- Features maintained in AtScale can be catalogued in a feature library or data catalog.
- Data in AtScale can be quickly visualized using popular BI platforms or Excel.
- Data scientists can expose the full set of features in an AtScale model through a simple python interface.
Analytics discoverability is key to self-service analytics. As such, AtScale has made it simple to investigate and explore data modeled within a semantic layer.
Feature Serving with AtScale
John Lynch, the lead architect of AtScale AI-Link, has long championed the potential of exposing a universal semantic layer to data science users with bi-directional python connectivity, “The idea is to build a resilient foundation for delivering feature data to ML models, with whatever recency and performance required.”
AtScale presents data consumers with a semantic model that is connected to data live in the cloud. As metrics are requested from BI platforms or python, AtScale virtualizes queries to raw data sources and optimizes performance for users. This approach of abstracting the view of data that consumers see from the raw data can be leveraged to simplify and harden data pipelines. If there are changes in the raw data, data teams can manage at the model level in order to protect the integrity of the user’s experience.
The same capability can be used when using AtScale to serve features to data science users. Features are defined using AtScale’s modeling utility – creating a virtual definition that is linked to raw data sources. Using AtScale AI-link, features can be pulled from the semantic layer via Python. As AtScale serves features, it manages complex query logic to underlying data while ensuring high performance. While AtScale would not be used for serving real-time or streaming features, it is highly capable of serving features based on enterprise application data.
AtScale integrates with popular cloud data platforms including Microsoft Azure Synapse SQL, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and Databricks. The ability to serve features with live connections to enterprise data warehouses simplifies data pipelines and ensures more consistent views of data.
Feature Governance with AtScale
Dave Mariani, founder and CTO at AtScale has written extensively on how Analytics Governance Empowers Self-Service. As feature stores become more mature and widely used in an organization, the subject of governance becomes more important. Proper governance is fundamental to delivering consistency and reliability for data consumers. Governance goes beyond security and access control. It also includes managing definitions and ensuring consistency across related features.
AtScale’s semantic layer is commonly used to establish the governance required to enable self-service analytics. The governance that is appropriate for an enterprise metrics hub supporting business intelligence teams is similar to that appropriate for managing a feature store.
Beyond Feature Stores: How a Semantic Layer Drives Business Value from Enterprise AI
AtScale provides a way for organizations to build out feature stores while supporting other data consumers with a centralized enterprise metrics hub. Beyond simplifying data pipelines and ensuring consistency in the way data is consumed by data science teams, an AtScale semantic layer bridges the disconnect between AI initiatives and business outcomes..
AtScale’s AI-Link can be used to automatically write predictions (e.g. insights) back to data platforms within the same semantic layer construct. This means that model outputs are immediately available for decision-makers to leverage in the same dimensional structure they would navigate historical data – drilling up and down on time, geography, product, or whatever hierarchical structure is available. Further, model-generated insights are consumed in the same dashboards and BI tools used for descriptive data analysis.
Feature stores are the data science equivalent of enterprise metrics hubs for business intelligence programs. The concept of a semantic layer is consistent across both use cases and the AtScale platform can be readily applied to both – independently or in concert.

Horror Zone: The Cultural Experience of Contemporary Horror Cinema
In his landmark Introduction to the yank Horror Film, Robin wooden famous that horror ""has constantly been the most well known and, whilst, the main disreputable of Hollywood genres.""

Researchers link senescent cells to most common form of arthritis
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have reported a causal link between senescent cells—cells that accumulate with age and contribute to frailty and disease—and osteoarthritis in mice. Their findings appear online in The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences.
Osteoarthritis is the leading form of arthritis in the elderly, causing pain, disability and immobility. The disease impacted 30.8 million adults from 2008 to 2011, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The only therapeutics currently available include treatments focused on pain control, joint replacement surgery or mobility aides, such as canes, braces and walkers.
"Osteoarthritis has previously been associated with the accumulation of senescent cells in or near the joints, however, this is the first time there has been evidence of a causal link," says James Kirkland, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging. "Additionally, we have developed a new senescent cell transplantation model that allows us to test whether clearing senescent cells alleviates or delays osteoarthritis."
Using the new model, researchers injected small numbers of senescent and non-senescent cells from ear cartilage into the knee joint area of mice. After tracking the injected cells in the mice for more than 10 days using bioluminescence and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, they found that the injection of the senescent cells into the knee region caused leg pain, impaired mobility and characteristics of osteoarthritis, including damage to surrounding cartilage, X-ray changes, increased pain and impaired function.
"We believe that targeting senescent cells could be a promising way to prevent or alleviate age-related osteoarthritis," says Dr. Kirkland. "While there is more work to be done, these findings are a critical step toward that goal."

Beginning December 1, 2017, the IRS will begin mailing enforcement notices to applicable large employers (ALEs) regarding the penalties owed under the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) employer shared responsibility mandate for the 2015 tax-year filings.
Below is a summary of the update, quoting liberally from the information provided by the IRS:
The IRS plans to issue Letter 226J to an ALE if it determines that, for at least one month in the year, one or more of the ALE’s full-time employees were enrolled in a qualified health plan for which a premium tax credit was allowed and the ALE did not qualify for an affordability safe harbor or other relief for the employee.
What to Expect
The letter will include:
- an employer shared responsibility payment summary table itemizing the proposed payment by month and indicating for each month if the liability is under section 4980H(a) or section 4980H(b) or neither,
- an employer shared responsibility response form, Form 14764, “ESRP Response,”
- an employee PTC list, Form 14765, “Employee Premium Tax Credit (PTC) List” which lists, by month, the ALE’s assessable full-time employees (individuals who for at least one month in the year were full-time employees allowed a premium tax credit and for whom the ALE did not qualify for an affordability safe harbor or other relief (see instructions for Forms 1094-C and 1095-C, Line 16), and the indicator codes, if any, the ALE reported on lines 14 and 16 of each assessable full-time employee’s Form 1095-C,
- a description of the actions the IRS will take if the ALE does not respond timely to Letter 226J.
ALEs will have 30 days to respond to the letter.
Let Us Help
It can be very frightening and frustrating to receive one of these letters. You could be in compliance with the law but be penalized for
- Missing information,
- Incorrect data,
- Conflicting data sets, and more.

President Obama will want to keep the latest issue of Rolling Stone handy to counter reports of his down-in-the-dumps approval ratings. The cover story is by economist and New York Times pundit Paul Krugman, and its headline of "In Defense of Obama" might understate things. Consider this line: “Despite bitter opposition, despite having come close to self-inflicted disaster, Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history,” Krugman writes. The Nobel winner runs through Obama's accomplishments, declaring, for example, that ObamaCare is flawed "but still a huge step forward—and it's working better than anyone expected." He thinks that financial reform out of the Obama White hasn't been aggressive enough, "but it's much more effective than you'd think." And his "environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy."
It's not all praise—Krugman criticizes the president on his "surveillance state" policies, for example—but he thinks Obama has accomplished the ultimate goal of any president: He's changed the country for the better, and he's done so despite inheriting a mess and facing entrenched opposition. "I don't care about the fact that Obama hasn't lived up to the golden dreams of 2008, and I care even less about his approval rating," writes Krugman. "I do care that he has, when all is said and done, achieved a lot. That is, as Joe Biden didn't quite say, a big deal." Click to read his full piece. Or see critiques of it as "a little perfunctory" and "light on details" at Slate or "embarrassingly fawning" at the Washington Post. Either way, it makes a notable turnaround for Krugman, who was arguably once the president's strongest liberal critic, writes Arit John at Bloomberg. (Read more President Obama stories.)

According to her defense attorney, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three small children by strangulation and then attempting suicide was battling with homicidal and suicidal impulses as a result of being overmedicated on several prescription medicines. Defense lawyer Kevin J. Reddington claimed that Lindsay Clancy, 32, had been given medication for mood problems, anxiety, and psychosis during an interview with The Boston Globe.
Reddington told the newspaper, “One of the major issues here is the horrific overmedication of drugs that caused homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation. They [Lindsay and her husband] went to doctors repeatedly saying ‘Please help us.’ This was turning her into a zombie … the medications that were prescribed were over the top, absolutely over the top.”
Furthermore, at the time she allegedly murdered her 7-month-old baby Callan, her 5-year-old daughter Cora, and her 3-year-old son Dawson, Lindsay was thought to be suffering from postpartum mood disorder.
Reddington told The Globe, “She had medical care and treatment on a regular basis. And her husband was very proactive in trying to protect her and help her with the doctors’ medication she was prescribed. They went through hell — and they didn’t come back.”
Patrick Clancy, Lindsay’s husband, wrote about his three children and begged the public to forgive his wife in a GoFundMe page he set up for the family.
Also read: Lindsay Clancy: Mom who choked her 3 children to death forgiven by their dad
On January 28, Patrick wrote: “The shock and pain is excruciating and relentless. I’m constantly reminded of them and with the little sleep I get, I dream about them on repeat. Cora, Dawson, and Callan were the essence of my life and I’m completely lost without them.”
Patrick wrote about his wife Lindsay Clancy and said their marriage was “wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her condition rapidly worsened,” and added, “I took as much pride in being her husband as I did in being a father and felt persistently lucky to have her in my life.”
In addition, he wrote, “I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have.”
On another note, Reddington revealed to The Globe that Lindsay received 13 psychiatric prescriptions between October and January of last year, including Ambien, Valium, Zoloft and Prozac. However, he did not reveal the dosages. He also declared that he has employed a toxicologist to examine the drugs and amounts Lindsay was given.
Moreover, Lindsay, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is currently hospitalized in Boston and unable to walk. Reddington told the outlet, “She can’t walk. She’s not in good physical shape. She’s not in good emotional shape.”
Lastly, Tim Cruz, the district attorney for Plymouth County, posted a statement on Twitter stating that Lindsay is now being held by police. She faces two counts of homicide and three counts each of strangulation and assault and battery.

Corbyn’s explanation of why ‘mugwumps’ have come to the fore, however, gives the word a new meaning. And it’s one that, thankfully, actually makes sense.
Have there ever been a better response to personal abuse? https://t.co/BTzuvA8jbO
— Tory Fibs (@ToryFibs) April 28, 2017
Johnson’s outburst about “mutton-headed old mugwump” Corbyn featured in The Sun. And although the BBC described it as a “scathing attack”, most of media have spent the week trying to find out what it actually means.
And now Corbyn has waded into the debate, after 5 News confronted him on the matter. 5 News asked Corbyn:
Mugwump – what do you think of that?
The Labour leader replied:
Eight days into an election campaign and Boris Johnson is reduced to name-calling. Which rather suggests to me he’s run out of serious arguments. He hasn’t even managed a week and a bit.
Corbyn then explained how he intends to respond to the Tories’ strategy:
So, I don’t do name-calling, I don’t do personal abuse. We’re serious about this election.
There is a serious choice before the people of this country.
Johnson’s comment has sucked up masses of media airtime since he made it. So, it certainly has distracted from real policy arguments. And perhaps, as Corbyn asserts, that was the whole point. Because in the moments the media conversation has turned to the substance of the Conservative Party’s proposals and ideas, Johnson has not inspired confidence. And neither have other Tory ministers. Rather, they’ve revealed how dangerous the current government’s ideas are.
And as one person wrote in The Guardian, after years of being “bombarded with anti-bullying messages” in education, young people probably won’t appreciate Johnson’s personal attacks. So, he may well have burnt some bridges between the Tories and that demographic.
We should, therefore, thank ‘mugwumps’ everywhere. Because their bizarre introduction into the election campaign has yielded results. We’ve actually found out a fair amount about how the two main parties function. Regardless of what Johnson hoped his intervention would achieve.
– Register to vote in the 8 June general election. If you don’t have a national insurance number, a 5 minute phone call on 0300 200 3500 will get it sent to you in ten days.

I keep hearing in the news about skyrocketing gold prices. How can I invest in the metal?
Fortunately, those hoping to get in on today's gold rush have several options, from the traditional practice of buying gold itself to more modern offerings such as gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) and gold certificates. The best option depends on your personal circumstances, investment goals and comfort level.
Prices for the metal have been soaring lately, driven up by the weak dollar, record-high crude oil prices and nervousness about the U.S. economy. Gold has marched from less than $650 an ounce in January 2007 to about $970 an ounce today, feeding investor demand for it. Experts predict gold will soon top the psychologically important $1,000 level for the first time, and some believe the metal still could reach $2,000.
Despite the somewhat antiquated notion of it, many investors still prefer to buy gold bullion bars or coins. It gives investors a portable, durable and highly liquid asset, according to Jon Nadler, a senior analyst with Kitco Bullion Dealers, which has more than 45,000 clients worldwide.
"The sheer compactness of wealth that you can hold in a small tube of coins is very appealing to a whole class of buyer," Nadler said. "They can move across borders and have no qualms about reselling it."
But buying gold does have drawbacks. For starters, you'll have to pay anywhere from
6 percent to 20 percent more per ounce above spot prices to have it fabricated into bars or coins. Then you have to find a safe place to keep it: Some people bury it in their backyards, lock it away in home safes or store it in bank safe deposit boxes. Experts generally frown on these practices because typically you're uninsured if the gold is lost - be it through a fire, flood, theft or other reasons.
"You have to find a safe place to store your metals or else what's the point?" says Nadler. "You don't want any surprises down the road."
Another potential downside is taxes. Since gold coins are considered collectibles, they're taxed at almost twice the rate of investments like stocks. Gold buyers should look into the tax rules in their states to see how that may affect their investments.
For those looking for an alternative to physical gold, there are several options. Gold certificates, for example, allow investors to purchase and own gold from "custodian" firms, which will store and insure the metal for you. Some companies charge a storage fee, usually either a fixed rate or a percentage of the gold's value. When you decide to sell your gold, you simply call the firm, agree on a price and wait for your check.
Another hassle-free innovation quickly gaining popularity is gold ETFs, which allow investors to buy and sell shares designed to track the market price of the metal. The shares are backed by gold locked away in a vault. The biggest gold ETF in the U.S., streetTRACKS Gold Shares, says it has 20.8 million ounces of gold in trust worth more than $20 billion.
The good news is that gold ETFs usually offer cheaper transactions fees than buying and selling gold itself, since there are no dealer markups or fabrication costs. There are also no costs for shipping, insurance and storage. The downside is that, like gold coins and bullion, owners of gold ETFs are taxed at the higher long-term capital gains tax rate - currently
28 percent - since the shares are considered collectibles.
Regardless of which investment option you choose, experts urge caution when buying gold. Prices can and do swing wildly, so investors are encouraged to keep no more than 10 percent of their assets in gold to minimize the impact.
GOOD QUESTION: What are the different ways to invest in gold?


There is a certain sweetness to Chelsea Lankes that emanates. It radiates through each of her songs, drawing you to her instantly. Her newest EP, “Ringing Bell” (August 28th, 2012), is a refreshing take on pop music, bearing the structural sensibility of a seasoned songwriter, and the creativity of a true artist. Chelsea upholds lyrical integrity and emotional articulation that exemplifies her passion of craft, while also personally disclosing her heart’s journey to each of her listeners. Lankes’ voice is like a sweet echo, resonating brightly to match her classic beauty and poised demeanor. This is her edge. Chelsea says, “My music wasn’t always like this, but I had to decide how to shape myself from the angst-y teen poet into an artist that makes music with longevity. I wanted to do something that represents who I was then, and who I am now. I hope my music, like my life, is anything but contrived.” Maybe that’s why everyone loves her- there are no pretenses. Chelsea laughs, “I’ve always been a bit of an escapist… I guess that’s what my music is, my escape.” True to her word, Chelsea effortlessly provides a sonic solace amidst life’s messiness. “Ringing Bell” truly makes her the puppet master and you the puppet. With a tight grasp on your heartstrings, you can’t help but dance.
If you’re not familiar with Chelsea Lankes‘ music, your life is a lot less gorgeous than it could be. Really, I mean it. And if you haven’t caught this music video, than you’re doubly in trouble. The LA based songwriter floats effortlessly between melody-centric songwriting bliss and cotton candy cloud-wrapped synth pop that still boasts an important and grounding emotionality. Mötley Crüe proved their songs could survive in the hands of country stars with last year’s Nashville Outlaws tribute album, and now singer Chelsea Lankes has demonstrated that at least one of the band’s classic cuts makes for a pretty good pop song too.
Chelsea Lankes – Too Young to Fall In Love
“I’ve always been a fan of the ’80s and particularly hair metal,” Lankes told SPIN. “There are so many great lyrics and melodies from that era and dressed up a little differently, they can still be a really great pop song. ‘Too Young to Fall in Love’ is an earlier cut from Mötley Crüe, but it’s one of their best. I’m so drastically different as an artist from their sound but the challenge of making it my own is what makes doing a cover song fun.”
The Motley Crue cover “Too Young To Fall In Love” is the b-side to Chelsea Lankes’ “Down For Whatever” single out today (3/2). About the song and its choice as a cover, Chelsea says “she’s
always been a fan of the 80s and particularly hair metal”, and “There are so many great lyrics and melodies from that era and dressed up a little differently, they can still be a really great pop song.”. Sample to “Too Young To Fall In Love” below and check the 7″ out today on our B3SCI Records.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. C.1
An ordinance approving a rezone (RZ 14-010) and associated Negative Declaration initiated by the City of Brentwood for a series of text amendments to the Municipal Code, which are necessary to carry out key implementation measures identified in the 2012 Housing Element and required for certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development of the 2015 Housing Element update. The specific amendments include the addition of a chapter addressing emergency shelters (Chapter 17.770), an amendment to the Planned Development 38 Zone text to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use within Subarea C (Chapter 17.488), an amendment to the definitions for Title 17 (Chapter 17.030), the addition of a chapter addressing reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities (Chapter 17.760), an amendment to the density bonus program chapter (Chapter 17.720), and an amendment to the affordable housing ordinance (Chapter 17.725).
A tonight’s City Council meeting the Brentwood City Council will be deciding whether or not to rezone a piece of property to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use. The property to be rezoned is in the far northwest corner of the city on Empire Ave, in what I call the “Tri-City area”. If you were to stand in the middle of Empire Ave just south of the Union Pacific Rail line you can stand in all three east county cities, Oakley, Antioch and Brentwood, at once.
The City of Brentwood needs to zone land somewhere in their city in order to get their 2012 Housing Element update certified by the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD). State law requires that cities and counties provide at least one zoning designation that allows the location of emergency shelters without discretionary approval. The City doesn’t yet comply with this State mandate. The state permitted the city one year to fix the problem, that timeframe has ended and HCD has stated that it will not certify the Housing Element unless an emergency shelter zone is adopted.
Each city in California is mandated to adopt a comprehensive general plan, which must include a housing element. Housing Elements are usually updated every five to eight years and are subject to detailed statutory requirements and mandatory review by HCD. The Housing Element contains information on the housing needs of the community, including the needs of lower-income households and people with special needs, such as homeless persons, seniors, and people with disabilities. Successful certification of the Housing Element is directly tied to whether or not a jurisdiction is eligible to receive certain kinds of funding, including some transportation funds. Additionally, not having a certified Element puts a jurisdiction at risk of lawsuits from developers. Courts have required cities without approved Housing Elements to allow housing “as-of-right”, without any discretionary review by the City until the Housing Element is certified, including in single-family zones.
Should Brentwood not adopt the Housing Element by May 31, 2015, the City will lose local control over the location of an emergency shelter within its boundaries. State law prohibits a city from disapproving an emergency shelter on the grounds that the proposal is inconsistent with the City’s zoning and general plan if (1) the site is designated as commercial, industrial, or multifamily under the General Plan; and (2) the City has failed to identify a zone or zones for an emergency shelter as a permitted use. Moreover, the City will revert to a four-year housing element cycle versus an eight-year cycle. In addition, if HCD does not certify the housing element by May 31, the City will no longer be eligible for any One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funding until 2022/23 and the Measure J transportation funds would also be at risk.
The Brentwood 2012 Housing Element identified four potential shelter locations, including: the Brentwood Boulevard Specific Plan, north of Lone Tree Way; Planned Development 38 at Empire; Planned Development 48 at the southwest corner of Lone Tree Way and Shady Willow; and Planned Development 53 at the southeast corner of Lone Tree Way and the new Highway 4. Staff analyzed these locations for their suitability and feasibility. The PD-38 text amendment adds emergency shelters to the permitted uses within Subarea C of the zone. This amendment will satisfy the State requirement for allowing emergency shelters by right. It should be noted that any emergency shelter locating within this zoning district would be required to adhere to all of the requirements contained in the Emergency Shelters ordinance.
I understand the council’s dilemma, if we have to zone for it, why not place it as far away as possible from existing Brentwood homes. Brentwood residents are not complaining. But, dumping the shelter and its associated issues on your neighbor’s doorstep is not the right solution. I have discussed the issue with Mayor Taylor and Councilmen Clare and expressed my displeasure with their decision and I hope they will be able to find another vote for a different location. If not there are actions we can still take.
Assuming the Brentwood Council approves that site tonight, the site still needs to be approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development. Although the City of Brentwood would not be responsible for building the facility, there must be a good faith attempt by Brentwood to ensure that the land would be available during the current Housing Element cycle, 8 years. The property owner has been contacted; apparently the property is under contract to a homebuilder. If so the site will not last through the cycle and HCD should disapprove the site and ask Brentwood to find another location that would be eligible. Contact HCD and let them know. HCD Housing Policy Development Deputy Director, Lisa Bates (916) 263-2911

THE RELEASE of stage three of HillClose, offering 37 new house and land packages, could go some way in helping ease Gladstone's housing crisis.
Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) Director Residential Development Peter Smith said there had already been a lot of interest from the local community about buying into Stage 3.
"Following strong sales in the first two stages of HillClose, Stage 3 offers people more diverse housing products ranging from two, three and four bedroom homes, priced between $320,000 to $515,000," Mr Smith said.
"Seven of the 37 lots in Stage 3 will be available for purchase to buyers eligible for the ULDA's My Place initiative; however once released, purchases will need to be made within a 28 day period. If the My Place lots are not sold within this time, they will then be available for purchase to the broader market.
"With Stage 1 of HillClose selling out in just eight weeks and 90 per cent of Stage 2 already sold, we're expecting the latest release to be just as popular.
"The popularity of HillClose is no doubt due to a combination of the demand in the Gladstone real estate market, as well as the quality architecturally-designed homes available at an affordable price," Mr Smith said.
A number of architects have been involved in designing the homes in HillClose, including Design Forum Architects, Design Properties and Mondo Architects.
Award-winning Mondo Architects worked on designs for various lots in Stage three.
Mondo Architects Director Ray Sweeney said they had worked closely with the ULDA and the builder partners to design homes that take advantage of the individual lot sizes and orientations available at HillClose.
"Good architecture comes from providing innovative yet functional and cost effective designs," Mr Sweeney said.
"We've designed a range of houses to suit Gladstone's subtropical climate, taking advantage of cross-ventilation and maximising the interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces."
Mr Smith said HillClose is quickly taking shape and becoming a new community within Gladstone with the first residents already moved into their new homes in Stage 1.
"With many other homes near complete, and our display village and sales centre now open, buyers can see firsthand the value they get for their money at HillClose," Mr Smith said.
"We are also investing a significant amount of funds in building parkland and including public art to create an attractive urban environment for people to live in.
"Not only are the house prices affordable, but residents also save money in the longer term through sustainability initiatives incorporated into homes, such as water recycling and energy efficient house designs which are all standard inclusions/design principles for homes built in HillClose," Mr Smith said.
Buyers may be eligible for the $10,000 Queensland Building Boost Grant which has been extended until 30 April, the $7,000 First Home Owner Grant, or the ULDA's My Place program which gives priority to low to moderate income households an opportunity to purchase a home
For further information about the Queensland Building Boost Grant visit www.qld.gov.au/boost, the First Home Owner Grant visit www.osr.qld.gov.au, or for the ULDA's My Place program visit www.myplace.qld.gov.au.
Once completed, HillClose will provide approximately 300 brand new homes nestled around a 5000 square metre park, just six kilometres from Gladstone's CBD at on Harvey Road, Clinton.
For more information about HillClose, visit the sales office onsite at 2 Harvey Road, Clinton, the website www.hillclose.com.au or call 1300 650 614.

If you think virtual reality is doomed to fizzle, don’t tell the software artisans currently building those future theme parks of the mind.
Of more than 2,000 game developers who’d attended one of the annual Game Developers Conferences in the past three years surveyed, a significant majority (75%) believe virtual and augmented reality are “a long-term sustainable business.” By contrast, only 1 in 4 respondents believe VR and AR will never match the current popularity of game consoles.
That’s per the annual “state of the industry” survey conducted by the Game Developers Conference.
Active development for virtual reality platforms is also up: 16% of those surveyed said they’re working on a game for VR platforms, up 7% over last year. Meanwhile, 15% said their next game will have VR support, up 6% over last year. Some 20% of respondents said their next game would probably be released on the Oculus Rift, while 9% said their next game would be for PlayStation VR, and 8% for the HTC Vive. Another 12% said they were undecided.
Full steam ahead? Not quite. Far more respondents said they weren’t currently developing for VR/AR headsets (44%) or aren’t interested enough in the tech to do so (25%). And in the augmented reality category, where Microsoft’s headset HoloLens would sit, anticipated development was in the low single digits.
There’s some ambiguity over what that 16% really signifies in the survey, too. When contrasted with traditional platforms like PCs, consoles and mobile devices, for instance, the survey lumps everything under “VR headsets,” which could signify anything from lower fidelity Google Cardboard clones (where you slip a smartphone into a pair of goggles), to high fidelity headsets like the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, which attach to powerhouse computers.
The takeaway? VR wonks can add a few points to their optimism barometers, but otherwise we’re still in cautiously optimistic territory. The consumer hearts-and-wallets yardstick is coming soon: Sony’s PlayStation VR (for PlayStation 4) is due before year’s end, the HTC Vive (for PCs) arrives sometime in April, and the long awaited consumer version of the Oculus Rift (also for PCs, priced at $599) will be available March 28.
You’ll want to keep half an eye on the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco March 14-18, too. GDC thinks enough of virtual reality at this point that it’s launching a “Virtual Reality Developers Conference,” or VRDC, which will run parallel to GDC March 14-15.

Alvin Mwangi @PeopleDailyKe
Police have arrested two people, who attacked two nurses on Saturday night at Mama Lucy Hospital, Nairobi.
The two will be arraigned at Makadara Law Court this morning.
Embakasi Deputy County Commissioner Kenneth Gitonga said three people went to the hospital on Saturday night and demanded immediate service without following procedure.
However, owing to the many cases that the hospital handles, the civilians’ demands were not met leading to a confrontation and the said attack.
Nurses Christian Nyabera and George Mwangi, who sustained soft tissue injuries and a fractured wrist, respectively, are recuperating in hospital.
Kenya National Union of Nurses (Knun) condemned the act, and called on the government to enhance the security of nurses across the country.
“As a union we are not going to take this lightly. Nurses must be protected and we are calling on politicians to add weight to our demands the way they do when members of the public are attacked,” said Boaz Onchari, Nairobi Knun chair.
However, some patients accused the hospital staff of being rude to those seeking treatment.
Hospital medical superintendent Dr Musa Mohamed dismissed the claims, saying nurses at the facility are hardworking despite being understaffed.
He said the hospital handles 1,200 patients daily yet it has about 200 nurses for in and out patient services.
Ediah Muruli, Nairobi Knun secretary, said most cases of attacks on nurses end up unresolved. “One nurse was shot dead at Chiromo Medical Lane, another was attacked by a patient at Nairobi South Hospital and we have never seen any action taken against the perpetrators,” she said.
Gitonga promised to have more officers deployed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, patients across the country should brace for tough times ahead as nurses continue to defy the presidential directive to resume work, saying they will only do so after their demands are met.
Knun secretary general Seth Panyako has maintained that the strike is still on and medics will not be shaken by Executive orders. “Our strike is still on, we are not going to be intimidated. If they want to fire nurses let them do it,” he said.
Currently, nurses in nine counties and those working in Mathari National Hospital, National Spinal Injury, National Blood Bank and Ports Health have downed their tools.
Today, Murang’a, Tana River, Nakuru, Siaya, Kakamega, Narok, Makueni, Bomet and Busia counties are expected to join the strike.
Conciliatory talks to unlock the impasse will continue today after they were adjourned on Saturday.
Nasa leader Raila Odinga, Speaking in Busia at the weekend, urged nurses to resume duty for the sake of patients.

Countering the nationalistic rhetoric of Brexit, the 17th edition of Frieze London (3-6 October) is its most international yet. “We have been working to make sure London feels as open, exciting and global as ever,” says the director Victoria Siddall.
With the UK currently due to leave the EU on 31 October, the fair is advising galleries to be well prepared when they are shipping works home. But, in the run-up, its “business as usual”, Siddall says.
Much of Frieze London looks further afield: galleries from 36 countries take part in this years fair, up from 30 last year. There is an increase in participation from Southeast Asia, with newcomers from Manila, Taipei and Seoul.
Cosmin Costinas, the executive director of the Hong Kong art centre Para Site, has organised the themed section this year. Titled Woven, it features eight artists who all use textile or fabric to lay bare the “continuous legacies of the colonial catastrophe”, he says.
Here again there is a strong Southeast Asian component, with emerging artists including Angela Su and Chitra Ganesh on show along with established names such as the Filipino artist Pacita Abad (1946-2004) and the Indian artist Mrinalini Mukherjee (1949-2015). Mukherjee was the subject of a survey this year at the Met Breuer in New York.
“We really wanted Cosmins global perspective; it feels a very appropriate time to be embracing art from different parts of the world,” Siddall says.
Meanwhile, East meets West in the Collection section at Frieze Masters. Under the curatorial eye of BBC Ones Antiques Roadshow expert Amin Jaffer, Gregg Baker Asian Art is presenting historical and Modern Japanese art influenced by Buddhist and Zen philosophies, while Grosvenor Gallery mixes monochromatic works by the Indian Modernist S.H. Raza with antiquities.

Words from Weiwei
A highlight of the Frieze Masters talks is a discussion between Tim Marlow and Ai Weiwei, the Chinese dissident artist whose team is documenting the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Weiwiei says elusively he “may discuss Hong Kong” during the talk. Other artists doing panels include Mark Bradford, Elizabeth Peyton and Edmund de Waal.
Frieze Londons subsidised Focus section, for galleries under 16 years old, is no less diverse, featuring 33 galleries from 19 countries. This year, a peer-led selection committee is offering support to newcomers. London gallery TiwRead More – Source

From Amphlett Lane or AC/DC Lane it’s a short walk to Literature Lane, near a famous old club where Go-Set was created and Nick Cave played.
Thumping Tum and Bernhart’s
There was once a little Melbourne club which was so groovy it got its own song – and dance. The classic Sixties Australian garage rock single you can hear above, dedicated to the Thumping Tum was recently valued at nearly $1000.
By 1978 The Thumping Tum had become the Melbourne punk venue Bernhart’s and in 1978 not only The Boys Next Door but also Young Charlatans played gigs there, with Nick Cave and Rowland S. Howard in the room.
This is part of the story. Nothing remains of the historic music venue today. Apartments have been built in its place.

Groovy! The Thumping Tum by Henry Talbot (State Library Victoria).
Under the Umbrellas
The groovy Thumping Tum of inner-city Melbourne was the only place to be in the Sixties and Seventies with gigs under the umbrellas, by The Masters’ Apprentices, Max Merritt and the Meteors, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.
Wander down Little Latrobe Street in Melbourne today and all you will see is apartments and cranes, but in the Sixties and Seventies, The Thumping Tum (which inspired that $1000 worth of great Australian single, in the YouTube clip above) had queues stretching to Swanston Street.
This is a modern homage poster (below) to The Thumping Tum, below (Pinterest). According to those who were there in the Sixties, it was a place for magic acts, toasted sandwiches, sleeping bags and incense – as well as unforgettable Australian music.
The Thumping Tum was decorated with inverted umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, a concept dreamed up by Myer window display staff who ran the place. This is a rare photograph (below) of the Thumping Tum ceiling, from Go-Set.
This Melbourne gig guide below, shows where it was all happening with gigs by Max Merritt and the Meteors (photographed at The Thumping Tum, below). The David Bentley Trio played there too.
The Thumping Tum was the club where the backdrop kept changing, in pace with the music. It would eventually become an inner-city punk space for what writer Clinton Walker would eventually describe as The Inner City Sound.
Back in 1971, though, when Carson were playing at The Thumping Tum, the wall mural had changed from late Sixties flower power and psychedelia to a rising sun. That was one its many incarnations, pictured below.
Broderick Smith, one of the best-known names from that time, has archived this photograph by Harley Parker of Carson at the Tum on his website.
Note the barefoot drummer. The Thumping Tum evolved from being the kind of ‘discotheque’ where bands like The Purple Hearts would spend the night – to a blues venue, home to Wendy Saddington (below) and Chain, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs and more local luminaries.
Michael Browning became famous for managing AC/DC but his recent book, Dog Eat Dog, is also a brilliant recollection of what it was like to run clubs in Sixties and Seventies Melbourne.
Myer window-display staffers Ken Moat and Ron Eden dreamed up The Thumping Tum in 1966 and found an old bluestone factory at 50 Little La Trobe Street, which had been a pub before. They also dreamed up a slogan. ‘Go-go to be seen at this swinging frugging scene.’ It was ten shillings to get in.
The umbrellas had been bought at a railway lost property auction. There were Tiffany lampshades. It was Melbourne bohemia. Writing in Dog Eat Dog, Browning recalls, ‘The clientele was a mix of very cool and edgy art students, serious music lovers, pill heads and hipsters.’
Before Chrissy Amphlett became a rock star she was a hippie, playing songs like St. James Infirmary on her autoharp. This photograph, and her memories of The Thumping Tum, are from her autobiography, Pleasure and Pain (Hodder).
Chrissy moved from Geelong to Melbourne with a friend, Alison Baker, and they became close in the big city. And Alison had connections.
Chrissy Amphlett: “Her cousin, David Flint, owned the Thumping Tum which with its red velvet curtains and antique furniture, vied with Bertie’s and Sebastian’s to be the best Melbourne nightclub of the time.”
Doing The Thump
David Pepperell is one of the unsung heroes of Australian music. Not only did he sing on that garage-band classic The Thump in his band, The Union (creating the sound with Trevor Lunn), he also found a choreographer named Antonio Rodriguez to organise the accompanying dance. A boxer named Leo Young was on the Tum door, working as a bouncer.
It was a time when you could turn up in a purple velvet jacket to see a band like Baron Burke and the Undertakers. Some crawled out of their boarding school windows and hitch rides to go and see gigs at 50 Little Latrobe St. In 1965 Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs filmed a Coca Cola advertisement there.
Pepperell remembers, “To me, the Thumpin’ Tum was the premier venue in Melbourne’s 1960’s discotheque scene. Although it had live bands and was not, strictly speaking, a discotheque, records were played over a sound system in the band breaks and it was copied from venues so popular in France in the mid 60’s. The Tum opened in 1965. First group on Saturday night was The Groop, of course, Melbourne’s coolest band.
Across town, Michael Browning was running Bertie’s and Sebastian’s, waiting for Angus Young and Bon Scott to arrive – but from 1965-1970 David Flint was running the show at The Thumping Tum and tending to inner-city Bohemia. As he told Peter Barrett at The Sydney Morning Herald, ‘This place was going to be different. Not only was it for young people but it wasn’t in a town hall, it wasn’t a jazz club, it wasn’t a pop music club, it was a club to dance to music.’
Ian Rilen was also in the Tum crowd watching (and being influenced by) Yuk Harrison playing bass with Max Merritt and the Meteors, according to author and music historian Clinton Walker. This photograph of a Thumping Tum staff member is from the definitive book about Australia in the psychedelic era, 1966-1970 called Tomorrow is Today, edited by Iain McIntyre. Wendy Saddington, who sang at the Tum and also wrote the problem page for Go-Set, was a fixture at the club.
Lobby Loyde, speaking to Patrick Donovan at The Age in 2006, remembered “When you came on at 2.00am at The Thumping Tum, the crowd was full of bands, roadies, journos, guys from the business, the fans. You’d never make any money but it was a hell of a night of music.” Loyde would go on to produce albums for The Sunnyboys, X and Painters and Dockers after his own career with Coloured Balls.
What Makes the Town Thump?
This advertisement from the February 2nd 1966 edition of Go-Set shows the iconic umbrellas from The Thumping Tum (which was by then being called the Thumpin’ Tum, dropping the g). The question posed was ‘What makes the town thump?’ The answer was ‘the uninhibited.’ You can see the TUM sign on the left of the photograph, from Harley Parker’s definitive Miles Ago website.
The Thumping Tum eventually morphed into a punk venue. The bluestone building at 50-52 Little Latrobe Street reverberated to the sound of The Blank Generation. Bands like News dragged their guitars up Little Latrobe Street. A benefit gig for the fanzine Pulp was held here. Rowland S. Howard illustrated the Pulp masthead.
For more on Bernhardt’s/Bernhart’s please see these excellent websites and don’t miss Punk Journey or Clinton Walker’s record of Pulp (which he set up with Melbourne music historian Bruce Milne) and fanzines in Australia.
The photograph of The Boys Next Door in 1978 is by Michael Lawrence from the National Portrait Gallery of Australia. Pinterest and social media are also good sources for punk era publications.
Little Latrobe Street Today
Today in Little Latrobe Street, thumping drums have been replaced by thumping cranes. The City of Melbourne has fixed a sign saying Literature Lane to the laneway coming off Little Latrobe Street, but there is no plaque remembering Go-Set magazine (founded at The Thumping Tum) or the novelist Lily Brett, employed as a writer there. There is no acknowledgement of novelist Nick Cave who played at 50 Little Latrobe Street in its Bernhart’s days.
Jim Keays (The Masters’ Apprentices) became a painter in the second half of his life and once said he would like to paint the old haunts of the band. “There was the Thumping Tum in Melbourne where I wouldn’t mind revisiting with my paint brush,” he said.
The umbrellas are gone, but the melody – and the influence of the club – lingers on.

A new Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is now on exhibit publicly at The Aquarium at Mote Marine Laboratory.
Mote is providing a permanent home to the turtle named Caleb, whose impaired swimming abilities make his return to the water impossible.
Caleb is the first Kemp’s ridley turtle to become a permanent resident in Mote’s “Sea Turtles: Ancient Survivors” exhibit. He is a juvenile turtle who weighs 20 pounds and was rescued Nov. 9, 2011, on Ormond Beach. He arrived at Mote in December and stayed for approximately one month in Mote’s Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital before moving to the exhibit.
Kemp’s ridley turtles are considered the most endangered sea turtle species on Earth.
The exhibit also houses loggerhead and green-sea turtles that cannot be released and includes a hospital for hatchling turtles and educational displays about Mote’s sea-turtle conservation and research efforts.

VENETA, Ore. — The wet weather didn’t put a damper on people looking to take advantage of the three-day weekend. Lane County campgrounds were packed by people who chose to get away for Memorial Day by pitching a tent close to home.
Some call it a staycation; when it feels far away from home, but really their still close.
“It’s close to Corvallis and it’s an easy drive and we like the campground,” said Tom Ott, Corvallis resident.
“Extremely convenient. It covers all kinds activities for every need and age and everything so it’s perfect for us,” said Terisa Hadbon, Willamina resident.
It’s all about convenience for those families who packed the 92 campsites at Richardson Park this Memorial Day weekend.
“Depending on the traffic you’re 20 minutes away in a sense and as you can see it is an oasis. You have the trees, every campsite has a fire pit. You have water and electricity at the site,” said Sarah Ward, Richardson Park caretaker.
Campers say with the park being only 12 miles outside of Eugene, it helps cut down on gas costs.
“It makes it really easy don’t have to spend a lot of money on gas. You know it is kind of nice being close home because you can go home if you want. But we can all come out here at our leisure,” said Von Young, Eugene resident.
“It’s very close to home so it’s less miles you have to cause the gas is so high,” said Lora Dietmeyer, Springfield resident.
Caretakes of the site say guests set their reservations months in advance, but were worried this year’s low water levels would be discouraging.
“We get calls all over the place, ‘do you have any water?’ Well we do have water,” said Ward.
Luckily, the recent rains helped, keeping families entertained with activities like canoeing and kayaking.
“Kids love it, riding bikes all day long and going fishing so it’s fun family gatherings,” said Mindy Nunez, Eugene resident.
Richardson Park campsite caretakers say next summer’s slots are already in high demand and families are already booking their reservations.

BELMAR — With blue skies and temperatures in the high 90s, beach patrons and sand artists from around the state gathered on the beach in Belmar last Wednesday for the 36th annual Sandcastle Building Contest.
The July 12 event, sponsored by Frank Sementa of D’Jais Oceanview Bar & Cafe and the borough’s tourism commission, welcomed both contest participants and casual beach goers to a day of sun, sand and creativity.
“[It was] a beautiful summer day, all the more appreciated because we haven’t had many of those so far this year,” said Mr. Sementa.
Along the beach across the street from D’Jais on Ocean Avenue, competitors spent the morning carefully crafting sand sculptures in the designated space between 17th and 19th Avenues. A center stage located at the 18th Avenue beach marked the contest entrance with a large sponsorship castle created by The Bikini Boys, previous winners who were welcomed back this year to help give the scene an artistic flourish.
“It’s really a family event. We want to attract families and children to come to the beach,” Mayor Gerald Buccafusco said. “It’s interesting for people to see what kind of sculptures people can make out of the sand, it’s really quite remarkable.”

A colorful new Mexican restaurant opened Jan. 3 in the Prado at Spring Creek in Bonita Springs. Habaneros Mexican Grill’s large freestanding building on the southern edge of the retail center formerly was Buffalo Wild Wings, Stevie Tomato’s Sports Page and Rib City but it had been vacant since Foxboro Sports Tavern closed its second location there in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic.
Habaneros had intended to open last fall but its launch was delayed by permitting and hiring issues, said General Manager Enoc Gaza. “We were waiting a long time for employees,” he said.
The Florida-based restaurant group has four other locations operated by a family with roots in Mexico. It opened Habaneros Mexican Grill on Pine Island Road in North Fort Myers in 2015 after operating at least three locations in the Orlando area for more than a decade.

text: A couple of weeks ago I noticed my Gouramis coloring get progressively darker. I thought it was because he was getting older. Then I noticed he was swimming aimlessly bumping into the decorations also when I put flake food in the tank He would swim right past the food. I looked closer at him and saw that one of his eyes is completely cloudy and the other has a small white dot in the center. I thought I had parasites but I found they were Detritus worms. I’m struggling getting rid of hair algae as well, but I don’t think that’s the cause.

The creature caused chaos on Saturday morning on the London Underground as it jumped around the train, causing passengers to squeal.
Passengers in the video are seen lifting up their feet and some appear to even cower as the squirrel charges around the train.
While many commuters screamed, one woman put her hand out to the animal and tried to coax it towards her.
The squirrel caused chaos on the tube
One passenger captured the amusing moment on video and posted it on social media.
Responding to the video, Facebook user Martina Forcina wrote: "Poor thing, hope somebody helps him getting out and safe."
Charlotte Brett-Hogan wrote: "I hope it's okay. Poor thing must've been petrified."
Passengers were shouting hysterically at the creature
And Lee Savage wrote: "Makes me laugh, everyone saying how the squirrel must be petrified.
"If so scared then why choose to get on a tube in the first place?
"It's all about choice and responsibility. You can't have your cake and eat it. You do the crime, you do the time."
The squirrel was jumping around the train
The grey squirrel was first introduced to Britain by the Victorians in order to adorn estates and gardens.
But they are now causing the retreating native red squirrel population to extinction.
Greys are out-competing what is left of the red squirrels and spreading the killer squirrelpox virus, which rapidly terminates reds but does affect greys.
The legal culling of grey squirrels remains controversial - although monitoring shows that cute reds quickly inhabit the areas cleared of greys.
