A.Weyl Fokker: The Creative Years (Putnam)
In July 1913 Fokker had the opportunity of studying closely one of the most advanced monoplane designs of the time. The French pilot Leon Letort landed unexpectedly at Johannisthal. He had flown non-stop from Paris on a Morane-Saulnier monoplane. The distance of 920 km. (570 miles) had been covered in 8 3/4 hours; the Morane’s 80-h.p. Le Rhone rotary engine had consumed 155 litres (34 gallons) of petrol and 49 litres (10-8 gallons) of oil; Letort still had 80 litres (17-7 gallons) of petrol left when he landed.
The light and graceful monoplane created a sensation at Johannisthal; it had put up a performance that no contemporary German aeroplane could equal. The Morane-Saulnier was a revelation to Fokker: he saw for the first time what a well-designed light monoplane with a good engine could do. He was even more impressed by the implicit confidence that Letort had in his engine. Between the time of his landing on July 13, 1913, to that of his return flight to Paris on July 27, the French pilot gave not the slightest attention to his aircraft. This afforded a good opportunity, missed by few interested people, of studying the aeroplane at close quarters.
But Fokker already knew a good deal about the Morane-Saulnier monoplane. The celebrated Swiss pilot Edmonde Audemars, who had made the first flight from Paris to Berlin in 1912, wanted to be the first man to fly from Berlin to Paris. For this flight, made in 1913, Audemars had chosen a Morane-Saulnier Type H monoplane in which he installed an 80-h.p. Gnome in place of the usual 50-h.p. engine; the aircraft was a single-seater with a span of 8-5 metres (27 ft. 10 1/2 in.). The Morane-Saulnier was sent by road from Vienna (where Audemars had been flying) to Johannisthal. Audemars knew his compatriot Schneider well, and had his aircraft housed in the L.V.G. sheds for assembly.
Fokker used his connexions among the L.V.G. mechanics to good purpose, and contrived to get into the L.V.G. sheds after working hours. It appears that he took with him someone who could make sketches. By chance, Schneider found Fokker there and sent him packing, but not before he had secured valuable technical details of the Morane-Saulnier. Audemars learned of this incident and told Raymond Saulnier, the designer of the monoplane, about it during the Paris Aero Salon of 1913. When Audemars met Fokker twenty years later he reminded him of the incident. Fokker merely grinned and said that all was fair in war ... the Morane-Saulnier was, after all, the best aircraft of its day ... it had interested him and he had wanted to study it. . . .
The appearance of Letort’s and Audemars’ Morane-Saulnier monoplanes at Johannisthal influenced German aircraft development. Various attempts were made to copy the design or to reproduce its main features. These attempts were probably helped by the publication in Flugsport of a technical description of the Morane-Saulnier. Few such descriptions were published; the leading French aviation journals of the day seemed to overlook the progressive features of the aircraft.
Fokker’s aeronautical education was further advanced in October 1913 by another Frenchman flying another French aeroplane. The man was Adolphe Pegoud, his aircraft a Bleriot monoplane, and his aerobatic performances made a profound impression on Fokker. Fokker realized the capabilities of a manoeuvrable, robust aeroplane. He also realized that his own moderately steep turns and zooms could no longer be described as daring artistic flying. Like many of the German pilots who saw Pegoud’s performance, Fokker resolved to imitate the Frenchman’s feats as soon as he could obtain a suitable aeroplane. Some of the Johannisthal pilots immediately placed orders for Bleriot monoplanes.
The failure of the M.2 led Fokker to conclude that streamlining did not pay: it increased weight and complicated construction. If slab-sided fuselages were good enough for the fast L.V.G. monoplane and for the Jeannin aircraft, they would do for him too. The next Fokker, basically similar to the M.2, therefore, had an unfaired fuselage with a rectangular cross-section.
The new monoplane was the Fokker M.3, and it was built at Johannisthal. In structural design its fuselage was generally similar to the Jeannin fuselage but was welded by Platz. A short top decking was added about the cockpits. The 95-h.p. Mercedes engine was fitted with one of the new Windhoff overhead radiators. This was light, compact, and less affected by the vibrations of the engine, being mounted directly on it; it was considerably better than the heavy, leaky side radiators of the M.2, but restricted the forward view from the cockpits.
The wings, tail unit and undercarriage were generally similar to those of the M.2, and the main lift bracing was again anchored to the undercarriage skids. The leaf-shaped, balanced rudder had ribs of light steel tubing.
The M.3 was the last type to have Fokker’s two-control system: the rudder was actuated not by a rudder bar but by the control column. The stick had two convenient hand grips to accommodate both hands, and this feature was retained on all subsequent Fokker aeroplanes.
The Fokker M.3 was first flown on September 26, 1913, at Johannisthal. Fokker flew it during the autumn week of flying at Johannisthal but had little success with it. It is doubtful whether he ever submitted it for trial by the Army.
A second machine, designated M.3A, was built. It was powered by the 70 h.p. Renault salved from the crashed W.1, and had a divided rudder. The mainplane was mounted lower than that of the M.3: on the M.3A the rear-spar anchorage passed wholly below the fuselage.
The M.3 was sent to Schwerin for use as a trainer but survived only until November 1913, when P. Weidner crashed it in a heavy landing while instructing. Fokker managed to sell the M.3A to a wealthy Russian named Worobieff. It seems that the purchaser never flew the aircraft, however - a fortunate omission on Worobieff’s part, for the machine was dangerous. At the beginning of the war, Ernst Ditzuleit was given the M.3A for training purposes and found it abominable. When flying straight it was laterally unstable, rocking from one wing to the other. In turns it refused to bank properly, and skidded. The gliding angle was tolerable but the aircraft would float for some distance before settling down somewhat abruptly. The M.3A was not successful as a trainer. Finally, and to everyone’s relief, Ditzuleit crashed it on September 7, 1914.
J.Herris Fokker Aircraft of WWI. Vol.1: Spinne - M.10 & Watercraft (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 51)
The next Fokker design was the M.3, also intended for the Army. Six M.3 aircraft (A.113-118/13, work numbers 28-33) were ordered on 14 June 1913 but the prototype did not meet the requirements for take-off and landing run and the order was cancelled. The M.3 was then used at Fokker's flying school.

Chris Christie told CNBC on Friday that a 2020 Democratic presidential nomination of Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be a "gift" to President Donald Trump's efforts to keep the White House for Republicans.
Christie, former New Jersey governor and unsuccessful 2016 GOP presidential candidate, suggested that Warren's liberal agenda won't resonate with American voters.
"Please, Lord, nominate her," Christie said in a "Squawk Box" interview, slamming Warren's proposed wealth tax as a message that "people who make money suck, and we'd like to take their money from them."
In a CNBC interview Thursday, Warren defended her bid to impose a 2 percent tax every year on households with assets over $50 million and a 3 percent tax on households with assets over $1 billion.
"I want these billionaires to stop being freeloaders," the Massachusetts Democrat said on "Mad Money with Jim Cramer."
Christie also scoffed at Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's proposal to target the wealthy. "She's having her moment. We're very happy for her," he said. Ocasio-Cortez, a freshman firebrand from New York, wants to slap a 70 percent marginal tax rate on income above $10 million.
Christie said Democrats would be better served nominating centrist Joe Biden, adding that the former vice president might be able to siphon off some of Trump's working-class base by relating to them with his modest upbringing.
Christie appeared on CNBC minutes after New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker launched a bid for the 2020 presidential nomination, the latest Democrat to enter a growing field.
The former New Jersey governor said he likes Booker personally but stressed its too early to tell how any of these Democratic hopefuls might fare. "Remember, four years ago at this time, the front-runner for Republicans was Jeb Bush. So it doesn't really matter. It's too early to figure out. "
Bush ran as a more moderate, establishment Republican in a crowded field for the GOP nomination in the last presidential campaign. But he failed to gain traction with voters and dropped out in February 2016. Christie, who had positioned himself as more of a conservative, left the race shortly after Bush.
However, Christie, 56, told CNBC on Friday he wouldn't rule out another bid for the presidency "someday," but he said he won't challenge Trump in 2020 for the GOP nomination.
"[Trump's] popularity is among Republicans right now is 81 percent. That doesn't leave you a whole heck of a lot of room to primary somebody. Now, if things change over the course of the next six or nine months some people may look at it. There are some folks who don't like him. But right now, it's very unlikely," said Christie, who has had an on-again-off-again relationship with Trump.
Christie is out promoting his new book, "Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics."

What is The Chronic Wellness Project?
The Chronic Wellness Project is a place where women who refuse to be defined by their chronic illness can come together to encourage and inspire each other, as they each embark on their own individual Chronic Wellness Project.
After diagnosis of a chronic illness, many women find themselves coping with their situation alone, without any a real source of support. Existing online spaces can be negative and draining, and even well-meaning family and friends can have difficulty understanding the challenge of managing an ongoing condition.
At the onset of their chronic illness, lots of women are told to go home, it’s all your head, and must quickly become an expert in their own condition just to function day to day.
The founder of The Chronic Wellness Project, Melissa, is a trained nurse and business owner, with a passion for helping other women cope with chronic illness. She shares the things she’s learnt on her own journey to wellness, including the practical aspects, like supporting your immune system and managing energy levels, and the mindset shifts that help you accept your new normal and realise your potential.
Hi, I’m Melissa
After suddenly becoming unwell in 2015, I found myself barely able to get out of bed for weeks at a time. Despite hospital admissions and numerous tests, doctors couldn’t find a reason for my debilitating symptoms and sent me home. I knew there was something wrong, but I realised I had to rely on myself to find a way to get well.
Fast forward a few years and my life is now unrecognisable.
I eventually received a diagnosis, learnt of the many factors that affect wellbeing, and overhauled my lifestyle, including leaving a demanding career as a nurse and starting my own business.
I found a balance between managing my chronic illness and living the life I want – and you can too.

Marlon Co is the photographer of The New York Botanical Garden.
Lenses are some of the most exciting aspects of photography. If one thinks of a camera as a blank canvas, lenses are the paintbrushes, where the light and artistry flows—where the fun really is. Lenses allow us to change how we see things; we can take in a whole view or focus in on a detail, near or far.
However, one lens type in particular is often overlooked for nature photography: the telephoto. Generally seen as useful only for sports or wildlife, their size and weight can sometimes be discouraging for general use, but they can be among the most creatively satisfying lenses to use in nature—period. The 100–400mm telephoto I use manages to keep size and weight down while also offering a versatile range and close minimum focus distance.
At NYBG, this versatility translates to capturing everything from close plant details or even images of insects to photos of birds or landscape vignettes. Of course, this all has to fit in the narrow frame these lenses naturally impose, but like in life, it’s important to see things from different perspectives. Doing so allows us to see the beauty and nuance of the world from may views, and—in short—more completely. All the photos you see here were taken with a single 100–400mm lens over the course of this spring so far. It’s been a roller coaster, with things coming and going in the blink of an eye, so on your next visit to NYBG, challenge yourself to change your perspective and see differently, whether through a lens or your imagination. Nature’s beauty is bound to inspire.

They may not come home to thousands of adoring fans at the airport but the New Zealand Women’s Open Rafting Team deserves such a warm welcome.
Recently back from the biennial International Rafting Federation’s World Rafting Championship (WRC) in Japan, former East Auckland local, Sarah Christie, is pleased to be sporting silver.
“I feel we competed well, fair and hard. I’m content with the result and think it reflects how the championships went,” she says. “Obviously, like every other team there, we wanted to win the coveted world title, but we’re happy with how our team performed and the overall result.”
This year’s competition was tough as usual, she adds, and even saw the hopes of reigning champs (the Czech Republic) sink as they failed to place.
Sarah’s team claimed second overall in the six-woman championship, securing gold in the Sprint event, silver in the Downriver section and bronze in Slalom along the way. Home river contenders, Japan, took out top honours.
“There is always a definite advantage having the worlds in your own country [but] they are a classy crew who consistently place in the top three at worlds.”
Consistency is in no short supply for the Kiwi team either; they’ve placed in the top three at every such event since 1999.
After claiming a win at home in 2013, the team also finished second overall in Indonesia, 2015. I ask the ex Maclean’s College pupil whether she’s a bit sick of second place.
“It’s not an issue of ‘getting sick’ of second!” she exclaims. “We are competing against top athletes from all over the world who want exactly the same thing; each river and competition is different. We go to worlds to compete to the best of our ability. But yes, we would love to step back up on the top of the podium soon.”
Whether Sarah and her teammates will ride Australia’s Tully River back to the top at the next worlds won’t be known until 2019, but readers can bank on the fact that these keen sportswomen will make every effort to do so.

IT is illegal and unconstitutional to say or publish the controversial phrase “dubul’ibhunu” (“shoot the boer”), according to an order issued by a Johannesburg high court judge yesterday.
Acting Judge Leon Halgryn accepted that these Zulu words mean “shoot the boer/white man” and constitute hate speech, and that uttering or publishing them could be a criminal offence if the intention is to encourage crime.
People uttering such phrases can therefore be criminally charged and will have to prove that an utterance was not intended as an incitement to commit a crime.
Willie Spies, legal representative of AfriForum and TAU SA, said yesterday, “The order emphasises how important it is that people like [ANC youth leader] Julius Malema should be forced to desist from such utterances. We will use the order to support our application for an interdict against Malema in the Pretoria high court next week.”
The ANC, which reportedly intends appealing against the judgment, expressed astonishment at the court’s failure to approach it for input on the history and purpose of the struggle song Ayesaba Amagwala (the cowards are scared).
The song’s lyrics include the words: “aw dubul’ibhunu (shoot the Boer) ’a magwala (the cowards are scared) dubula dubula (shoot shoot)”.
This is the first time a South African court has ever made such a finding about this phrase, according to Professor Pierre de Vos, a University of Cape Town constitutional expert.
De Vos said the implication of Halgryn’s order is that the Johannesburg high court and any lower court in the country will have to heed and follow it if anything similar is brought before them. Even high courts in other regions could note the order and follow it, unless they believe it is wrong.
According to De Vos, the Human Rights Commission’s (HRC) court of appeal has already previously found the utterance “Kill the boer” to be hate speech. However, a court judgment is more binding than that of a law forum like the HRC.
Halgryn’s order came after Willem Harmse of Delmas brought an application against Muhammed Vawda of Barberton. Both are members of a countrywide association that fights for citizens’ constitutional rights. The organisation is planning a protest against crime, and particularly against the murder of farmers, in Church Square in Pretoria on April 9, Vawda told Beeld yesterday.
“The white farmers [in the association] started talking about the controversial ‘dubul’ibhunu’. I suggested we make a banner with these words on it for our protest, as people interpret the words as meaning ‘kill apartheid’. I thought it would show the world that we agree that apartheid had to be done away with and that we have become a mature democracy, but are asking for the murders to be ended now.”
But Harmse, a businessman, strongly disagreed with Vawda: “One cannot change the meaning of words. ‘Dubul’ibhunu’ means that white people and farmers must be shot. It is war talk and contrary to what the protest is about. Muhammed and I are still friends, but we agreed that the court should decide,” said Harmse. He straightened Vawda’s red tie before Beeld took a picture of the two of them.
The protest will still go ahead, and Vawda said he accepts the order. Banners with the words “Kill crime, save the farmer” will now be used.
Advocate Johan du Plessis, who acted for Harmse, said that in view of an agreement between Harmse and Vawda even before the judge’s order, in terms of which the judge made the order, Vawda will not be able to appeal. “It is a final order.”

One special achievement stood out in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix: Sebastian Vettel became the first driver to win eight consecutive rounds of the world championship. Here are the top five stats from Sunday’s race.
Vettel’s record eight-in-a-row…
Vettel may have won eight races in a row but Alberto Ascari went one better, winning nine consecutive races from 1952 to 1953. However during that time Ascari did not enter the 1953 Indianapolis 500, which counted towards the world championship.
Note also that none of these races were run to F1 rules, as the world championship used F2 regulations in 1952 and 1953.
…and eighth hat-trick
Win, pole position, fastest lap: Vettel had them all in Austin, for the eighth time in his F1 career. Only three drivers racked up more during their careers: Michael Schumacher (22), Jim CLark (11) and Juan Manuel Fangio (9).
No points for Kovalainen
Heikki Kovalainen failed to score for Lotus on his F1 comeback. This meant he increased the record for most consecutive starts by an F1 driver without scoring a point to 61. Kovalainen went three seasons without scoring a point while driving for the previous Lotus team (2010-2011) which became Caterham (2012).
Bottas on the board
Valtteri Bottas became the 323rd different driver to score a point in F1 and the seventh Finnish driver to do so.
Vettel can equal wins record
Heading into this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix, Vettel could tie Schumacher’s record of winning 13 races in a season. However Schumacher did so in 2004 when there were 18 races – this year’s calendar has 19.

A Seasonal Guide To Scouting For Deer
Becoming a Student of Whitetail Deer – By Steve Bartylla
Part #1: A Seasonal Guide To Hunting White-Tailed Deer
An Old Timer once told me “the only constant, in patterning deer, is change and the only way to keep up with change is knowledge.”
Although at the tender age of twelve I was not thoroughly convinced he was correct, he was speaking about bowhunting so I was riveted to his every word. In my blissfully ignorant youth, I believed the key to successful bowhunting was as simple as finding a good food source and sitting on it the entire season. After all, sooner or later something was bond to venture within shooting range. Fortunately for my development as a bowhunter, the venturing part tended to come much later rather than sooner. Now, some twenty-odd years later, I look back on his words as one of the few hard and fast rules to cling to. In order to keep up with the deer’s changing patterns, I must spend hours in the field so that I possess the ability to change with them. This has to lead me to develop a seasonal guide to hunting white-tailed deer that has proven successful over the years.
A. Scouting Deer in Winter
The success of this entire strategy hinges on the ability to efficiently adapt to the changes occurring to both the whitetail and it’s the environment.
Knowledge, experience, and anticipation are the hunter’s best weapons. In order to build this arsenal, it is imperative to dedicate a considerable amount of time to scouting. I begin this process the day after the season ends. This time provides the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about preferred food sources, travel routes, bedding areas, and other useful information.
A deer frequently changes its patterns as a result of environmental and social changes, such as the maturation of a new food source or the urge to perpetuate its species. With that said, the areas that were hot last December will probably be hot again this coming December. This holds true providing changes in habitat or food source availability does not occur (e.g. a new clear cut or the destruction of a food source). Therefore, barring any major changes, the data collected from winter scouting efforts put us in the perfect position to identify where to hunt next December.
During the weeks that follow the last day of the season, scouting efforts should be focused on locating food sources, bedding areas, trails connecting them, active licking branches and shed antlers.
Benefit of Winter Scouting
1. Winter is a great time to scout for deer sign. This is especially true in areas that receive an annual blanket of snow cover. Snow does an outstanding job of illustrating deer sign. This makes it is easy to locate a feeding area and follow the trails as they wind their way to the bedding grounds.
2. Another advantage of this time of year is that the hunter no longer must concern themselves with spooking deer. Often, during hunting season you don’t want to approach bedding grounds for fear of altering the deer’s patterns. After the season, this is no longer a concern. If the deer do become spooked, they will have long forgotten about your little foray into their kingdom by next fall. Because of this, a person can completely disregard the need to keep a low profile and concentrate on gathering as much data as possible. The food sources, bedding areas, and trails found this time of year will be the foundation for late-season stand sites next year.
3. Winter also provides the opportunity to find shed antlers. The adult bucks, native to the northern regions, experience a drop in testosterone level in late December. This drop prompts them to lose their antlers sometime between this point and early march. Finding these sheds provide a glimpse into the number and size of bucks to expect in the area next late season.
4. Finally, active licking branches are also possible to find this time of year. Although in the north, bucks have finished scrapping, they will continue to work strategically placed licking branches year-round as a form of communication. These branches are as close to a guaranteed scraping location, next fall, as there is. Furthermore, this setup is often indicative of a scrape that will be shared by numerous bucks resulting in a very active scraping area. The difficulty here lies in finding these special branches. Because the ground is not being actively pawed you must key your search on the branch itself.
Luckily, the branch is usually pretty mangled and often has a urine spot in the snow occur directly under them. Another clue can be hairs found on the branch and they often have a bit of a shine, due to saliva and glandular excretions deposited on them. These traits, along with the trails leading up to them, make it possible to accurately identify active licking branches.
Once identified, they should be marked with an explanation point for a potential stand site next fall.
B. SPRING SCOUTING
Immediately after spring melt is also a great time to gather data on the previous years whitetail patterns. A layer of snow does a marvelous job of preserving deer sign. Because of this, spring scouting provides the same type of information that can be found in the fall.
Now the challenge is to come up with accurate time frames of when the sign was actually left. This can be difficult but not impossible. If you know that the neighbor’s cornfield was chopped in early October, you can then surmise that the nice trail leading to it was utilized the heaviest before that date.
- Conversely, knowing when your mast crops dropped eliminates the possibility of feeding activity before that time. If you remember the time frame you began seeing serious scraping activity last fall, chances are the scrape line you find this spring fits right into that slot.
Through scouting and piecing these puzzles together, you can come up with a general timeline that indicates where the deer were feeding and when it actually occurred. This is an obvious advantage to a hunter that is striving to stay abreast of the changes in whitetail patterns.
Along with food sources, trails, and bedding areas, one should focus on finding the rut sign from the previous fall during these spring trips. Now is an ideal time to find rubs and scrapes because of the lack of vegetation in the woods.
I believe that the biggest problem many hunters face, when hunting scrapes, is that they are either setting up on them too late or are set up on random scrapes are not actively worked. By locating these scrapes in the spring, it is easy to evaluate which areas and individual scrapes were tended the most. Because the most active scrape lines tend to appear in the same place year after year, we can now anticipate where this action will take place next fall.
With this information, we can set up stands well before scraping begins and be in a position to take advantage of these two or three-week window next fall. Once I began to employ this strategy, my success rate for scrape hunting went way up!
C. SUMMER SCOUTING
Summer is a wretched time of the year to scout for deer sign. If the heat isn’t enough to drive you from the woods, the bugs usually are. Along with this, in areas that do not experience hard summer droughts, food sources are plentiful. The result of a surplus of desirable food sources is that deer sign is scattered all over the area. Even when the concentrated sign is found this time of the year, the odds of this food source being available, or just as desirable in the fall, are not very good. Combine this with the fact that the sign from last hunting season is either gone or hidden in the dense undergrowth and I do my best to steer clear of the woods during the summer.
Summer does hold two useful purposes for me, however.
1. First, it provides me the chance to estimate the quality of the coming fall’s acorn crop. By inspecting the oaks with binoculars, one can see if they will be producing acorns and in what quantity they will be produced that year. Remember that not every oak will produce acorns each year. The members of the red oak family take two years to develop acorns. While members of the white oak family only take one year, they still don’t necessarily produce a good crop each year. The acorns of the white oaks are also sweeter and deer prefer them over the bitter acorns produced by red oaks. When inspecting the upper branches for acorns, look for a large quantity of green acorns. This indicates a good crop will be present in the fall. With that knowledge in hand, we can judge if the level of feeding that will occur on “the oak ridge” will warrant our time.
2. Secondly, deer tend to feed more openly during the summer months. Because of this, long-distance surveillance of summer food sources can provide information on the size and quality of the deer herd. Slowly cruising the roads around your areas at dawn and dusk can also alter you to a nice buck that is in the area. Although bachelor groups of buck are usually disbanded by the time bow season comes, if there were a surplus of large bucks in an area during the summer, there will usually be a shooter or two around in the fall.
4. FALL SCOUTING
The efforts put forth in the winter, spring, and summer result in the need for less scouting in the fall. In spite of the effort invested earlier, some tasks still need to be performed.
1. To begin with, a couple of weeks before the season I give my hunting areas a quick once over. If one of the locations I plan to hunt has had any recent logging activity or the crops have been harvested earlier than I anticipated, it is necessary to know about it before opening day.
- By making a quick scan of the area, my game plan can be checked for any obvious flaws. It is also a good idea to perform quick scouting trips every couple of weeks during the season.
- When making these trips, confine your activities to midday and focus your attention on potential food sources. Checking the food sources allows us to confirm that our timeline is correct and to make any necessary adjustments to our game plan.
2. Fall is also the time I go in search of new areas to hunt. I try not to ever be satisfied with the quality of the hunting spot at my disposal. With this approach, I am always looking to find an upgrade for what I decide is my worst location to hunt. These pilgrimages, in search of the utopia of hunting spots, most often take place during a day that I plan to hunt both morning and evening. This way I can sit in the morning until around ten, then head out to scout a new area and be back to my evening stand about three hours before closing.
3. While scouting these areas, I begin by circling the food sources looking for trails. I then follow each trail back to their origins, checking crossing trails as they appear. In a relatively short amount of time, this procedure allows me to form a pretty solid idea of how many deer are in the area and where the best stand sites are. Now I can judge for myself if this location is an upgrade of one of the others or not. The biggest drawback to this procedure is that it can be tough to judge the quality of the resident bucks in such a short amount of time. In other words, you can find a good stand site, get a feel for the number of deer around, and maybe even find a large rub or two, but its really difficult to know how many nice bucks are around without putting in more time.
4. Finally, I always have more than one or two places to hunt. This allows me to hunt more often without over hunting an area. By taking this approach I can hunt each location all season without it becoming stale. It also provides me flexibility for situations I can’t control. If an area suddenly becomes overrun with small game hunters or another bowhunter sets up shop forty yards away, I want the flexibility to go somewhere else. Once deer catch on to the fact that something is out to get them, it can be almost impossible to experience a quality hunt. Hunting whitetails is challenging enough without them anticipating your every move. If I do choose to abandon a spot, for whatever reason, I always check back the next spring to decide if it has gotten better. I believe a person can never have to many options and this is just one way to ensure my options stay open.
INCREASING YOUR RETURNS
Several aids will go a long way to reduce the amount of time needed to sufficiently scout an area. These are 7.5-minute quad maps, plat books, and aerial photographs. 7.5-minute quad maps are very useful in locating areas that have the potential to be good places to hunt. You can locate large tracts of forest, openings, ridgelines, saddles, hydrology, and funnels, to name just a few of the features they can reveal. The more I study a particular quad, the more potentially useful information I find on it. With these, it is possible to develop a scouting game plan from the comfort of your easy chair. By targeting certain areas to focus your scouting attention on, you can eliminate a lot of downtimes spent aimlessly wandering through the woods. I also use them to document the trails, funnels, bedding areas, rubs, scrapes and food sources I find during my trips. This goes a long way towards seeing the big picture and allows me to formulate sound travel patterns for the resident deer. 7.5-minute quad maps can be purchased from U.S.G.S. for $4.00 per quad plus a $3.50 handling charge per order by calling (573) 308-3500.
Once I decide that I intend to hunt an area, I contact the local forestry department and check on the availability of aerial photographs. Because many quad maps are ten years old or more, these photos do a good job of validating cultural, vegetative, and hydrologic features show on the quads. For example, the quad may show a large marsh that, upon reviewing the photo, you find has apparently dried up years ago. It is also possible to locate features that don’t necessarily stand out on the quad. A brushy fence line connecting two wood lots might not show up on a quad, but will on a photo. Over the years, the combination of aerial photos and quad maps has pointed me to many hot spots I would have had difficulty finding otherwise. Because of this alone they are well worth the money.
Plat books identify property owners and delineate their property lines. This is useful in locating the owner, of a particularly appealing piece of property, when you want to ask permission to hunt their land. It also shows who the land barrens are. With this knowledge, it can be possible to secure permission for a large tract of land with just one phone call. Plat books range in price but are almost always less than fifty dollars and can be found at the county courthouse.
As I reflect back on the words of the Old Timer, I am often struck by the truth his statement held. Every year that passes sees new equipment, strategies, and gadgets that are billed to make hunting easier. I believe all this clouds the fact that the only true gadget, that produces consistent results, is knowledge. The only way I know how to develop bowhunting knowledge is to listen to other hunters, read, watch an occasional video and most importantly, spend time in the woods. Each and every time I go on a scouting trip I either learn something new or enforce a theory I had before. By becoming a student of white-tailed deer, I have been able to develop a seasonal guide to hunting that works well for me, I hope it works equally well for you.

Haiti, the Sahel and Sudan are now among the areas on high alert, where the risk of food insecurity for its populations is the most worrying, and which require "urgent" attention from the international community, the UN warned Monday.
Haiti, the Sahel (Burkina Faso and Mali) and Sudan have been raised to the highest levels of concern" in terms of population feeding, say the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in a joint report. "This is due to severe restrictions on the movement of people and goods in Haiti, as well as Burkina Faso and Mali, as well as the recent eruption of conflict in Sudan," they explain.
The war in Sudan, which broke out in April between the army chief and his rival, is likely to "have significant ramifications for its neighboring countries," the report warns.
" READ ALSO In Sudan, hunger and the increase in the number of displaced people worry the UN
These four countries join the list of those (Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen) that were already on high alert and require "the most urgent attention".
Part of their population is exposed to famine or at risk of it, corresponding to the "catastrophe" phase (phase 5), the highest of the Food Security Classification (CIP), or the inhabitants of these countries risk a deterioration to catastrophic conditions because they are already in an emergency situation (phase 4).
The report looks at a total of 18 "hot spots" of hunger in the world, including 22 countries, and attempts to lay out a six-month outlook.
He is also concerned about these already fragile regions of the likely return of the El Niño climate phenomenon, which would have an 82% chance of returning during the May-July period, according to a study cited by the report.

What happens if we think of roads not only as a static archaeological object but as a dynamic and complex phenomenon?
Inspired by this question, “Archaeologies of Roads” brings together various studies spanning diverse landscapes and epochs. The central premise of the book is to reveal the complexity of the road, be it a modern or an ancient one. The starting point is that the road is not only a container for action but also the action itself; roads are perpetual works in progress, continually shaping and being shaped by the world around them.
Authors contribute with road studies from different contexts, ranging from Bronze Age Pontic–Caspian steppes to Roman Iberia and from Ottoman Anatolia to modern-day China. The book has three sections: routes, methods, and metaphors and constructing histories, reflecting the diversity in and of road studies. As the chapters interweave, they collectively challenge approaches to understanding roads and hopefully inspire readers to transcend conventional boundaries of identification, mapping, and dating of roads. Reflecting the inherent diversity of studying of roads —as a phenomenon, the title of the book calls for many ways of doing road archaeology.

This book celebrates Merrifield Hall on the campus of the University of North Dakota. This century-old building is now enduring a radical renovation designed to keep it relevant for the next generation of students on the UND campus.
The editors’ goal with this book was both to respect Merrifield Hall’s past and look forward to its now in-process future. It is our hope that this book will offer a space of thoughts, memories, fragments, criticisms, and jokes for all those who have walked the halls of this building and for all those who may one day dance—intellectually and materially—its halls, in whatever future form(s) those halls take.
Interviews, historical essays, archival illustrations, poetry, creative essays, and photographs from students, faculty, and other denizens of Merrifield Hall enliven this intellectually and visually stunning celebration of one of the great buildings on the University of North Dakota campus. Campus Building stands somewhere between a raucous tribute concert and a love letter to the role that buildings play in our experience of a place, an institution, and a campus.
In his time on planet Earth, the iconoclastic musician, visionary, big band leader, and composer Sun Ra left behind a treasure trove of music—studio recordings, live performances, rehearsals—many of them appearing on his homegrown label Saturn. In Sun Ra Sundays, Rodger Coleman examines over 130 of these recordings, both released and unreleased, placing them in histor- ical and biographical context and giving detailed critical analyses of the music. Originally appearing on Coleman’s blog NuVoid, all of the essays have been updated, corrected, and arranged in discographical order. Sun Ra Sundays is a major work of criticism, a goldmine of information for both the novice and the experienced Ra fanatic (and everyone in between).
Some of the best research and historical commentary are done by scholars without funding—they do it as a labor love. They are driven by curiosity, passion, and a high regard for the subject matter. That’s how Rodger Coleman’s Sun Ra Sundays evolved. The opinions herein are exhaustive, authoritative, and worth reading. They are a valuable addition to Sun Ra scholarship … Thank you Mr. Coleman for your monumental journalistic commitment. I learned a lot from these posts.

Mindful Wandering is an inspiring blend of memoir, travelogue, and environmental manifesto. As a translational ecologist, Rebecca Romsdahl is trained to ask critical questions about how we can improve our human relationships with the natural world for a sustainable, resilient future. As a farmgirl, she learned how to observe nature and life through the changing seasons. In this collection of essays spanning two decades, Romsdahl weaves these ideas together as she travels our changing world. From a Minnesota farm to the mountains of Peru and the edge of the Sahara Desert, she explores strategies for sustainability and resilience, and advocates that we (especially those of us privileged enough to travel) must expand our mindful considerations to include all the other inhabitants of this beautiful Earth. Romsdahl practices, and preaches, mindful wandering to reduce her impacts on the natural environment, and to encourage us all to be better global citizens. She implores us, through the eyes of a farmgirl scientist, to ask soul-searching questions: How do we reconnect with the local, seasonal rhythms of life, while learning how to care about the whole Earth as our home?
Rebecca J. Romsdahl, PhD, is a translational ecologist, educator, writer, and professor in the Department of Earth System Science & Policy at the University of North Dakota. Her research and teaching examine links between social, ecological, and policy factors when scientists, stakeholders, and decision makers work together to solve environmental problems.

Deserted Villages: Perspectives from the Eastern Mediterranean is a collection of case studies examining the abandonment of rural settlements over the past millennium and a half, focusing on modern-day Greece with contributions from Turkey and the United States. Unlike other parts of the world, where deserted villages have benefited from decades of meticulous archaeological research, in the eastern Mediterranean better-known ancient sites have often overshadowed the nearby remains of more recently abandoned settlements. Yet as the papers in this volume show, the tide is finally turning toward a more engaged, multidisciplinary, and anthropologically informed archaeology of medieval and post-medieval rural landscapes.
The inspiration for this volume was a two-part colloquium organized for the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in San Francisco. The sessions were sponsored by the Medieval and Post-Medieval Archaeology Interest Group, a rag-tag team of archaeologists who set out in 2005 with the dual goals of promoting the study of later material and cultural heritage and opening publication venues to the fruits of this research. The introduction to the volume reviews the state of the field and contextualizes the archaeological understanding of abandonment and post-abandonment as ongoing processes. The nine, peer reviewed chapters, which have been substantially revised and expanded since the colloquium, offer unparalleled glimpses into how this process has played out in different places. In the first half, the studies focus on long-abandoned sites that have now entered the archaeological record. In the second half, the studies incorporate archival analysis and ethnographic interviews—alongside the archaeologists’ hyper-attention to material culture—to examine the processes of abandonment and post-abandonment in real time.

In the 1950s, North Dakota experienced its first oil boom in the Williston Basin, on the western side of the state. The region experienced unprecedented social and economic changes, which were carefully documented in a 1958 report by four researchers at the University of North Dakota. Since then, western North Dakota has undergone two more booms, the most recent from 2008 to 2014. Sixty Years of Boom and Bust republishes the 1958 report and updates its analysis by describing the impact of the latest boom on the region’s physical geography, politics, economics, and social structure.
Sixty Years of Boom and Bust addresses topics as relevant today as they were in 1958: the natural and built environment, politics and policy, crime, intergroup relations, and access to housing and medical services. In addition to making hard-to-find material readily available, it examines an area shaped by resource booms and busts over the course of six decades. As a result, it provides unprecedented insight into the patterns of develop- ment and the roots of the challenges the region has faced.

Visualizing Votive Practice: Exploring Limestone and Terracotta Sculpture from Athienou-Malloura through 3D Models
Derek B. Counts, Erin Walcek Averett, Kevin Garstki, and Michael K. Toumazou
Visualizing Votive Practice is an innovative, open-access, digital monograph that explores the limestone and terracotta sculptures excavated from a rural sanctuary at the site of Athienou-Malloura (Cyprus) by the Athienou Archaeological Project. Chapters on the archaeology of the site, the historiography of Cypriot sculpture, and perspectives on archaeological visualization provide context for the catalogue of 50 representative examples of votive sculpture from the sanctuary. The catalogue not only includes formal and contextual information for each object, but also embeds 3D models directly onto the page. Readers can not only view, but also manipulate, measure, zoom, and rotate each model. Additionally, links at the bottom of each entry unleash high-resolution models with accompanying metadata on the Open Context archaeological data publishing platform and on via the Sketchfab 3D viewing platform as well. This innovative monograph is aimed at a variety of audiences, from Mediterranean archaeologists and students to specialists interested in 3D visualization techniques.
DATAM: Digital Approaches to Teaching the Ancient Mediterranean provides a series of new critical studies that explore digital practices for teaching the Ancient Mediterranean world at a wide range of institutions and levels. These practical examples demonstrate how gaming, coding, immersive video, and 3D imaging can bridge the disciplinary and digital divide between the Ancient world and contemporary technology, information literacy, and student engagement. While the articles focus on Classics, Ancient History, and Mediterranean archaeology, the issues and approaches considered throughout this book are relevant for anyone who thinks critically and practically about the use of digital technology in the college level classroom.
DATAM features contributions from Sebastian Heath, Lisl Walsh, David Ratzan, Patrick Burns, Sandra Blakely, Eric Poehler, William Caraher, Marie-Claire Beaulieu and Anthony Bucci as well as a critical introduction by Shawn Graham and preface by Society of Classical Studies Executive Director Helen Cullyer.

In 2020, a coalition of citizens, organizers, legislators, and educators came together to commemorate the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments by establishing a new monument in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This would be a memorial dedicated to the capital city’s significant African American community and its historic struggle for the vote. The Commonwealth Monument, located on the Irvis Equality Circle on the South Lawn of Pennsylvania’s State Capitol Grounds, features a bronze pedestal inscribed with one hundred names of change agents who pursued the power of suffrage and citizenship between 1850 and 1920.
This book is a companion to this monument and tells the stories of those one hundred freedom seekers, abolitionists, activists, suffragists, moralists, policemen, masons, doctors, lawyers, musicians, poets, publishers, teachers, preachers, housekeepers, janitors, and business leaders, among many others. In their committed advocacy for freedom, equality, and justice, these inspiring men and women made unique and lasting contributions to the standing and life of African Americans—and, indeed, the political power of all Americans—within their local communities and across the country.
Calobe Jackson, Jr., is an historian of Harrisburg African American studies, Katie Wingert McArdle is a writer and researcher currently serving as the head swim coach at Dickinson College, and David Pettegrew is a professor of history at Messiah University.
This book emerged at the intersection of the Commonwealth Monument Project (for more on that go here) and the Digital Harrisburg project (for more on that go here). This work is continuing.

Failing Gloriously and Other Essays documents Shawn Graham’s odyssey through the digital humanities and digital archaeology against the backdrop of the 21st-century university. At turns hilarious, depressing, and inspiring, Graham’s book presents a contemporary take on the academic memoir, but rather than celebrating the victories, he reflects on the failures and considers their impact on his intellectual and professional development. These aren’t heroic tales of overcoming odds or paeans to failure as evidence for a macho willingness to take risks. They’re honest lessons laced with a genuine humility that encourages us to think about making it safer for ourselves and others to fail.
A foreword from Eric Kansa and an afterword by Neha Gupta engage the lessons of Failing Gloriously and consider the role of failure in digital archaeology, the humanities, and social sciences.

Protesting on Bended Knee eyes the modern crusade for racial equality through the prism of the demonstrations associated with Colin Kaepernick, a professional football player who in 2016 began kneeling during the national anthem to draw attention to discrimination and injustice. A diverse array of thirty-one authors explain in brief essays what they see in the protests; collectively, they describe where the demonstrations fit within Americans’ quest to form “a more perfect union”; the legal landscape of dissent; the revival of athlete-activists; the tactics of protesters and counter-tactics of their opponents; and the perspective of others—reporters, coaches, players, and fans—“in the arena.” Their observations, along with an extensive Introduction by historian Eric Burin, provide a nearly contemporaneous account of the latest chapter in a freedom struggle as old as America itself.
Eric Burin is Professor of History at the University of North Dakota, and author of Slavery and the Peculiar Solution: A History of the American Colonization Society (2005) and editor of Picking the President: Understanding the Electoral College (2016).
In the late 1800s, Norwegian immigrants began flooding into the Red River Valley. As they moved into the Grand Forks area, they brought their Old World folkways and religious practices. On the corner of Third and Walnut, Norwegian Lutherans built a small sanctuary to house their services.
The building mirrored the simple worship of the Hauge Synod, the organization to which this congregation belonged. After merging with two other Norwegian church- es in town, the old Trini Lutheran structure passed into the hands of the Grand Forks Church of God, a congregation that echoed the revival fires of the Second Great Awakening. This is the story of a church building and the two assemblies that utilized it over a 100-year period.
Micah Bloom’s Codex examines the fate of books in the aftermath of the 2011 Minot flood. It is an ambitious project that flows across a wide range of media (digital text, video, hardcover, and paperback), embraces archaeological sensibilities, and speaks simultaneously to universal and profoundly local experiences.
This is the digital version of the book released in 2017 by The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota (http://thedigitalpress.org/) as a numbered, large-format, print version combining Micah Bloom’s photography with nine new essays inspired by Codex. This digital text is both a stand alone book and a companion to two versions of a film (40 minutes: https://commons.und.edu/press-media/1 and 20 minutes: https://commons.und.edu/press-media/2) and a trade paperback.
The 2016 presidential election has sparked an unprecedented interest in the Electoral College. In response to Donald Trump winning the presidency despite losing the popular vote, numerous individuals have weighed in with letters-to-the-editor, op-eds, blog posts, videos, and the like, and thanks to the revolution in digital communications, these items have reached an exceptionally wide audience. In short, never before have so many people had so much to say about the Electoral College.
To facilitate and expand the conversation, Picking the President: Understanding the Electoral College offers brief essays that examine the Electoral College from different disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, mathematics, political science, history, and pedagogy. Along the way, the essays address a variety of questions about the Electoral College: Why was it created? How has it changed over time? Who benefits from it? Is it just? How will future demographic patterns affect it? Should we alter or abolish the Electoral College, and if so, what should replace it? In exploring these matters, Picking the President enhances our understanding of one of America’s most high-profile, momentous issues.

“… gives a new generation of Grand Forksers and Red River valley valley citizens the occasion to look backward so that they can look forward”
This twentieth anniversary of the Red River Flood of 1997, which devastated the town of Grand Forks, North Dakota and surrounding areas, gives a new generation of Grand Forksers and Red River valley citizens the occasion to look backward so that they can look forward. Taking stock of how the city and its people have changed in these last twenty years offers us a new chance to envision the future of Grand Forks and the Red River Valley. What’s more, we hope that this book can extend the lessons learned through the recovery to others coping with their own unique disasters.
The book emerged from a year long course in the University of North Dakota’s Writing, Editing, and Publishing Program led by Dr. David Haeselin. Students in this course compiled, organized, and edited unpublished archival documents from the Orin G. Libby Manuscript Collection in the Elwyn B. Robinson Special Collections of the Chester Fritz Library at the University of North Dakota with new contributions from citizens and experts who lived through the flood and the region’s recovery. The archival inclusions include government documents, student journalism, blueprints, design plans, and transcribed 911 calls. In pairing new stories with these archival documents, the project is set to inspire new discussions about how the city got to where it is today, so that more people can join the larger civic conversation about the right steps forward for the city, the state, the region, and our nation.
This book is not intended to be the final word on the flood. Rather, it attempts to carry on the conversation started by many other fine works that were released during the city’s recovery, many of which were originally published by the North Dakota Museum of Art. Haunted by Waters included excerpts of some of these works and provided a bibliography pointing the curious reader back to some of the seminal works on the 1997 flood and the city’s response. In this way, the book looks forward, forges new memories, and offers respectful attention to those who came before us. This is the best kind of public humanities in that it is local and civic-minded in attention and expansive in reach.

“The publication of the Corinth Excavation Manual offers us a unique view into real-life archaeological practice on one of the most important Classical sites in the Mediterranean.” Adam Rabinowitz, Associate Professor and Assistant Director, Institute of Classical Archaeology, University of Texas, Austin
The Corinth Excavations Archaeological Manual is the first major field manual published from an American excavation in Greece and among a very small number of manuals published from the Eastern Mediterranean in the last generation. The appearance of this book is timely, however, as there is a growing interest in field methods and the history of excavation practices throughout the discipline of archaeology. Moreover, Corinth Excavations has long held a special place in American archaeology in Greece as the primary training excavation for graduate students associated with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. As a result, the field manual has had a particular influence among American excavators and projects in Greece, among Mediterranean archaeologists, and in archaeology classrooms.
Published as a technical field manual, an archival document, and a key statement of practice from a major excavation, the Corinth Excavations Archaeological Manual presents a guide for daily procedures at the Corinth Excavations, a complete record of documentation forms used in the field, and a practical glimpse into the functioning of a complex, major, project. The manual is a landmark text appropriate for the university student, the scholar of methodology, and the working field archaeologist.
“The Corinth manual has grown over the years into a comprehensive and authoritative guide to open-area, stratigraphic excavation, covering everything from excavation of pits, wells, and robbing trenches to the removal of deposits to inventorying objects in the museum. ” David Pettegrew, Associate Professor, Messiah College and author of The Isthmus of Corinth (2016).
All of the authors have worked on the excavations at Corinth in various capacities. This manual was developed under the directorship of Dr. Guy Sanders by former field directors Alicia Carter Johnson and Dr. Sarah James. Additional contributions come from past and present Corinth staff including assistant director Dr. Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst, architect James Herbst, conservator Nicol Anastasatou, and archaeologist Katerina Ragkou. The authors would also like to recognize the contributions of the many students from the American School of Classical Studies at Athens who offered valuable feedback on earlier versions of this manual over the past 10 years.

Mobilizing the Past is a collection of 20 articles that explore the use and impact of mobile digital technology in archaeological field practice. The detailed case studies present in this volume range from drones in the Andes to iPads at Pompeii, digital workflows in the American Southwest, and examples of how bespoke, DIY, and commercial software provide solutions and craft novel challenges for field archaeologists. The range of projects and contexts ensures that Mobilizing the Past for a Digital Future is far more than a state-of-the-field manual or technical handbook. Instead, the contributors embrace the growing spirit of critique present in digital archaeology. This critical edge, backed by real projects, systems, and experiences, gives the book lasting value as both a glimpse into present practices as well as the anxieties and enthusiasm associated with the most recent generation of mobile digital tools.
This book emerged from a workshop funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities held in 2015 at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. The workshop brought together over 20 leading practitioners of digital archaeology in the U.S. for a weekend of conversation. The papers in this volume reflect the discussions at this workshop with significant additional content. Starting with an expansive introduction and concluding with a series of reflective papers, this volume illustrates how tablets, connectivity, sophisticated software, and powerful computers have transformed field practices and offer potential for a radically transformed discipline.

In 2008, the Bakken went boom. Thanks to advances in hydraulic fracturing, oil production in western North Dakota exploded. As the price of oil went up, so did the oil rigs. People came from all over the country (and the world) in search of work, and cities and towns struggled to keep up. This book is about the challenges they faced. It is about the human dimensions of the boom, as told by artists, poets, journalists, and scholars. It captures the boom at its peak, before the price of oil fell and the boom went bust.
This is the only book on the Bakken to bring together such a wide range of voices. It captures a fascinating moment in the history not only of North Dakota, but of global oil production. It sheds light on the impact of oil on local communities that, until now, had not attracted much interest from the outside world. And it shows how North Dakotans, both old and new, have found ways to address the challenges they face in a turbulent, changing environment.

With the advent of low-cost and easy to use 3D imaging tools, the discipline of archaeology is on the cusp of a major change in how we document, study, and publish archaeological contexts. While there are a growing number of volumes dedicated to this subject, Visions of Substance: 3D Imaging in Mediterranean Archaeology represents an accessible and conversational introduction to the theory and practice of 3D imaging techniques in a Mediterranean and European context.
Karl Jakob Skarstein
Translated Melissa Gjellstad and Danielle Skjelver With contributions from Dakota Goodhouse and Richard Rothaus
The Dakota War (1862-1864) ranks among the most overlooked conflicts in American History. Contemporary with the American Civil War, the Dakota War featured significant fighting, tactical brilliance, and strategic savvy set in the open landscape of the Northern Plains in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Karl Jakob Starstein’s The War with the Sioux tells the story of the Norwegian immigrants, American soldiers, and Lakota and Dakota Indians as they sought to protect their ways of life. Translated from Norwegian and supplemented with new introductions by Melissa Gjellstad, Richard Rothaus, and Dakota Goodhouse, this work draws upon newly studied sources in Norwegian for life on the Northern Plains during these tumultuous years. Skarstein’s work makes an important, new contribution to the growing body of scholarship on this conflict and offers an accessible and surprisingly intimate view of the conflict from the perspective of Norwegian settlers in the region.

Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) has been implicated in mediating chromatin insulation and long-distance interactions between enhancer and promoter. In this study, to study the roles of CTCF in somatic cell reprogramming, we performed RNA-seq, Hi-C, ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq at the specific stage of reprogramming. Through bioinformatics analysis, our data indicated that CTCF promotes enhancer-promoter interactions and chromatin accessibility to regulate the expression of key pluripotency genes; meanwhile, it serves as an insulator to suppress the expression of key somatic genes. Smarca5 loss inhibits CTCF-promoted reprogramming by reversing CTCF insulator activity on MEF-specific genes and leading to incorrect nucleosome positioning adjacent to CTCF binding sites. These findings reveal the dual functions of CTCF as both a structural regulator and insulator in conjunction with a key chromatin remodeler to drive cellular reprogramming towards pluripotency.
Examination of the chromatin accessibility in reprogramming cells with OSKM plus control, Ctcf overexpression or Ctcf overexpression plus Smarca5 knockdown on day 10, sorted reprogramming intermediate cells in the TetOn lentivirus OSKM reprogramming system with both control shRNA and Ctcf knockdown by ATAC-seq.

Metro signage: Union Minister backs tri-language policy
- In the backdrop of protests to remove Hindi signage from Namma Metro stations, Union Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on 6th July expressed support for the tri-language policy as long as Kannada is given priority.
- City Development Minister K.J. George on the sub-urban rail project, Mr. Gowda said that Bengaluru is not limited to Karnataka or India, but is well-known around the world.
- “Foreigners in our city must be able to read, people from other States must be able to read the signs and Kannadigas must instantly recognise the language of the State,” he said.
- Advocating a tri-language policy, Mr. Gowda said, “I made it very clear that Kannada must be given priority; it is our State language.
- Since Hindi is spoken by a majority of people in India, it must be there. An international language like English must also be used,
- However, Mr. George disagreed and said that his position is similar to that of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who is gathering information on the policies followed by other States before taking a stand.
- Meanwhile, the Kannada Development Authority (KDA) has asked Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) to implement the two-language policy in all their public information systems within the next 15 days.
- S.G. Siddaramaiah, president, KDA, on 6th July, cited the arguments by BMRCL for two-language policy.
- “In correspondence over the past two years, BMRCL has submitted it BMRCL was not declared a Public Sector Unit and there is no clause in the tripartite agreement with the State and Union governments to follow all Central rules.
- Thus BMRCL is deemed to be a company of the State, which as per policy should follow the two-language policy – Kannada and English,” he said.
- Pradeep Singh Kharola, managing director, BMRCL, refused to comment on the issue.
