A Wisconsin man was arrested Tuesday in Eau Claire for being part of the mob that breached the U.S. Capitol last week as Congress was certifying Electoral College votes giving Joe Biden the presidency.
Kevin Daniel Loftus, 52, of Eau Claire, faces two federal misdemeanors for knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds.
He appeared by video for a brief court hearing in federal court in Madison on Tuesday, when Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker said he can be released from custody but must remain in Eau Claire or Chippewa counties. Because he has a history of drunken driving, he was ordered not to use alcohol, and he cannot possess any firearms or attend any demonstrations.
Crocker also told Loftus he is not to obstruct justice in any way, flee or commit any other crimes. If he does, Crocker said, Loftus could find himself back in custody.
“I think you’re a smart enough man not to do that,” Crocker said. Asked if he understood, Loftus said, “Yes, your honor,” the only words he spoke during the 16-minute hearing. He did not enter a plea.
Loftus, 52, has no criminal record in Wisconsin, according to online court records.
According to the criminal complaint in the federal case, Loftus was identified through a photo taken of him in the Capitol and ones posted to his Facebook account. A witness also positively identified him. The complaint also says he posted a link to a New York Post story about the riot at the Capitol, along with the admission “i am wanted by the FBI for illegal entry,” to his Facebook page.
His page also includes another admission that he is in an FBI photo lineup of people wanted for the Capitol incursion, plus an “lol.”
The complaint says the FBI interviewed Loftus on Saturday in Eau Claire and that he admitted “to walking inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“Loftus also admitted to walking on what he thought was the top floor of the U.S. Capitol where Loftus took several photos while he was inside the building walking around,” the complaint says.
A photo posted to Loftus’ Facebook account on Monday shows him wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hoodie along with other demonstrators at what appears to be the U.S. Capitol grounds.
A post from Sept. 25 shows him in a red “Keep America Great” cap holding a “Veterans for Trump” sign.
In the FBI photo, he appears to be wearing a sweatshirt with a logo for the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Loftus is scheduled to appear by video for an initial appearance in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.


EV sales will outpace all other engine types sooner than expected: EY
Electric vehicle (EV) sales in the US, China and Europe will outpace all other engines three years sooner than previously expected, according to new EY research and analysis. The figures come from the EY Mobility Lens Forecaster, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered forecasting tool that provides an outlook for light vehicle registrations through to 2050.
The latest predictions show that by 2027 EV sales in Europe will surpass those of other powertrains, a trend that will be repeated in both China and the US by 2032. For Europe and China this is one year faster than previously expected and for the US four years faster. In the US the change is driven by continued investments in electrification, with the leading states being California, New York, Washington, and Massachusetts among others. The analysis also shows that by 2040, ICE vehicle sales will shrink to less than 1% of global sales, five years faster than previously expected.
Cristian Cârstoiu, Partner, Consulting, EY Romania: „With a forecasted accelerated global trend towards EV sales dominance, the key question for Romania will be how fast can we adapt both our legislation and fiscal incentives to encourage capital investments in a power chargers station network and also encourage digital and technology investments in the power grid to support the upcoming flexible demand (income and outflow of energy from both renewable energy farms and EVs).”
Rising consumer demand backed by government policies and incentives, along with aggressive electrification targets by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have accelerated the transition to EV adoption in all three key regions – Europe, the US and China. Benefits of a carbon-neutral mobility ecosystem are now being realized at a larger scale, which has led to substantial investments in all three regions toward setting up EV infrastructure and transitioning from fossil-led mobility ecosystem to an electric one.
EY automotive analysts and data scientists built the EY Mobility Lens Forecaster on a neural network model that uses AI to analyze several variables that influence demand and supply for mobility. These include variables that reflect consumer behavior, regulatory trends, technology evolution (vehicle and ecosystem) and manufacturers’ announced strategies. The model is updated regularly with new market inputs to keep up with the ever-changing reality, including disruptions and available technology. As its predictions are matched up against actual outcomes, the model adjusts its calculations and learns from any mistakes for future predictions, essentially becoming smarter and more accurate over time.

Today’s post comes from Tammy Williams, archivist at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library
President Harry S. Truman spent his entire young adulthood in Missouri, a border state during the Civil War. Both of his sets of grandparents owned slaves. Many voters and politicians believed that Truman would carry his region’s prejudices to the White House and would do comparatively little to advance the cause of civil rights. And so Truman’s decision to issue Executive Order 9981 to provide for equality of treatment and opportunity in the military surprised many people.
What led President Truman to this decision? As African American soldiers returned to the United States from fighting overseas in World War II, they hoped to return to a more equitable society. However, many soldiers experienced openly hostile reactions from white Southerners as they wore their uniforms in their hometowns.
Two such cases made national headlines. In Aiken, South Carolina, a bus driver kicked Sergeant Isaac Woodward off … [ Read all ]

Today’s post comes to us from Michael Hussey, education and exhibition specialist at the National Archives.(He’s also a speaker at tonight’s program!)
Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913. In honor of her centennial, “Public Law 106-26, An Act to authorize the President to award a gold medal on behalf of the Congress to Rosa Parks in recognition of her contributions to the Nation,” is on display at the National Archives until February 28.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks went as usual to her job as a seamstress. By the time she returned home, her role as an enduring symbol of the African American civil rights movement had begun.
Seamstress Rosa Parks boarded a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus on December 1, 1955, after her day’s work. The driver ordered her to move to the back to make room for white passengers, in compliance with the state’s racial segregation law. She refused, and her arrest sparked a successful boycott of Montgomery buses (led by 26-year-old minister Martin Luther King, Jr.) that led to their integration. Her courageous act at a pivotal moment in the American struggle for racial … [ Read all ]
This coming Sunday is the dedication of the new Martin Luther King, Jr., National Memorial on the National Mall. It’s also the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington, when King gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech to the assembled thousands.
As I looked at the program from the day and then at some group photographs, I started to wonder about the other men who were part of the events. I picked a name from the group—A. Philip Randolph—and searched our Online Public Access engine. I quickly realized I knew nothing of a man who had been active in civil rights and labor for a long time before August 28, 1963.
Mary Graves Reyneau painted Randolph’s portrait as part of a series called “Portraits of Outstanding Americans of Negro Origin,” commissioned by the Harmon Foundation. The original 22 portraits were exhibited at the Smithsonian and later around the country. The depiction of Randolph was displayed in the company of portraits of Mary McLeod Bethune, Thurgood Marshall, and W.E.B. DuBois two decades before the March on Washington.
Randolph was an influential man who had organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1925. The Pullman Company began to negotiate with the unionized porters in 1935, but it was … [ Read all ]

If a coworker came in today with a new iPhone 14 Pro, you may have decided you just have to have one. Bad news: the wait is a month or more before it can be delivered.
There’s much better news for anyone interested in the more basic iPhone 14.
iPhone 14 Pro wait times stretch out to late October
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max were announced September 7 and went up for pre-order shorty afterward. They offer an always-on screen and the Dynamic Island in place of the screen notch, as well as a 48 MP camera.
Those who quickly put in an order started receiving the handsets on Sept. 19, the day they reached store shelves. But early demand for Apple latest top-tier smartphones has overwhelmed the supply. Anyone who waited until now to order either of the 2022 Pro models is looking at a wait that’ll last until mid October at least.
A check of Apple’s U.S. online store shows that a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro in any color or storage capacity ordered September 19 won’t arrive before the week of October 18, which means the delivery could be as late as Oct. 25.
The wait is even longer for the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. No matter the color or storage capacity, a handset ordered now from the Apple store won’t arrive before October 25, and it could be as late as November 1.
No waiting for the standard iPhone 14
The basic 6.1-inch iPhone 14 is only a modest upgrade of its immediate predecessor, and that reportedly has resulted in tepid demand. The result is that a preorder placed on Apple’s website at the time of this writing will arrive the next day. It’s also available in many Apple retail stores for same-day pickup.
Demand for the iPhone 14 Pro models is so much stronger than the standard version that Apple asked Foxconn to switch production from the basic version to the Pro ones, according to a tweet from Ming-Chi Kuo, a respected analyst from TF International Securities.
As for the fourth model in new new series, Apple built some extra wait time into the iPhone 14 Plus launch. The 6.7-inch non-Pro model won’t start reaching customers until October 7. And a unit ordered today in any color or storage capacity will still arrive on that date. There’s no additional wait.

Changing your windshield is a significant safety concern. Be certain that the technician changing your windshield is certified to take action by the National Glass Affiliation. Once your windshield has been replaced, wait for a really good time earlier than driving the car. FMVSS 212: This windshield mounting normal was established to ensure a certain degree of windshield retention strength throughout accidents. The energy of automotive glass is required to maintain occupants contained in the car throughout accidents. This may stop the dangers of the inside temperatures getting too cold. Choosing a correct receiver is largely determined by how it will be used. Laminated glass can break and be punctured. However, it can stay intact due to its chemical bond with the PVB.
The mechanical bond occurs via the multivalences of the PVB, while a chemical bond is created through hydrogen bonding of the PVB to the glass. It probably didn’t assist the relationship that Lee shunned the highlight, whereas Capote craved it. Though lately, manufacturers have supplied programmable thermostats that may show you how to save on vitality. That inserted layer of PVB permits the glass to absorb vitality throughout an impression. cung cap kho lanh Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of PVC between two pieces of glass. Since then, NHTSA has applied regulations affecting all areas of vehicle safety, including automotive glass. Offers the glass resistance to penetration from flying projectiles.
Now that we understand how the automotive glass got here to be let’s learn how it is made. This combination of strain and PVDB is bonded with chemicals and mechanical pressure in heat. The glass and the PVB are sealed by pressure rollers and then heated. Are expired foods safe to eat? The 501st Legion takes part in the traffic-stopping Dragon Con parade. FMVSS 219: This states that no part of most passenger autos can penetrate the windshield greater than 6 millimeters (0.24 inches) in a crash. Using diagnostic techniques like taking your pulse and inspecting your tongue, the standard Chinese physician can acknowledge the character of the imbalance; whether there’s a lot in (dark, wet, or cold) or too much yang (light, dry, sizzling), and develop an appropriate therapy.

Apart from this, engineers make use of the map information in order to perform different tasks like obstacle avoidance and path planning. Continue reading to find out more.
Why SLAM Issues
For several years, SLAM has been used to perform technical research. However, since computer processing speed has exponentially increased and low-cost sensors have been made available, SLAM is used for a number of practical applications in different fields.
A good example of a SLAM is actually a robot vacuum. In the lack of SLAM, the robot vacuum will move around randomly. As a result, it won’t be able to clean the entire room. In addition to this, this strategy may ingest considerably more energy as well as the electric battery will manage out faster.
On the flip side, SLAM-centered robots can enable the vacuum to do greater. Really, this technology uses technical info, for example the number of revolutions that come from the imaging cameras and sensors. This is recognized as localization and inhibits the device from exceeding a similar place twice.
SLAM is fairly valuable in other parts of software like vehicle parking a vehicle and moving mobile robots, just to mention a few.
How SLAM Operates
Usually, 2 types of elements can be used as this lamb Technological innovation. The 1st type is recognized as indicator signal handling including various kinds of finalizing.

Gioacchino Rossini: The Italian in Algiers
Rossini's first "comic opera", The Italian in Algiers takes place in the Algerian capital around 1810. Mustafa, bey of Algiers, is tired of his wife Elvira. He demands that his servant Haly bring him an Italian to replace her. He wants to marry Elvira to his Italian slave Lindoro, who is in love with the Italian Isabella.
Among the greatest composers of the 19th century, by the importance and the quality of its repertoire, the name of Rossini is mainly related to opera: his most popular works are still today The Barber of Seville, La Cenerentola (after Cinderella), The Thieving Pie, The Italian in Algiers and William Tell.
Rossini often repeats himself in his work: he frequently reuses pieces of his works to write new ones. Examples of this practice are numerous. Thus, in Armida and L'Italienne in Algiers, we find traces of La Cenerentola.

Ex-oil minister warns OPEC against unilateral output cuts
Qatar’s veteran former energy minister Abdullah al-Attiyah warned OPEC members on Monday against cutting oil output unilaterally because the cartel has lost its role as the world’s swing producer.
“OPEC should not do anything because it is not the swing producer” of the past, Attiyah told reporters in Kuwait City.
“They cannot and will not cut (output) unless the main producers outside OPEC join forces,” he said.
Attiyah, who led the energy portfolio in gas- and oil-rich Qatar for about two decades, said OPEC should first reach a binding agreement with non-OPEC producers before cutting production.
“Otherwise they will lose market share and others will enjoy high prices and produce more,” Attiyah said.
He said OPEC and non-OPEC producers were currently in talks to strike a deal ahead of the organisation’s meeting early in June.
The days of oil fetching $100 a barrel are over for the foreseeable future, he said, predicting that prices will settle at between $60-70.
Global oil prices dipped Monday as investors took their cue from a rebounding dollar, awaited fresh US economic data and digested another Chinese interest rate cut.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for June delivery slid 19 cents to $59.20 a barrel.
Brent North Sea crude for June reversed 29 cents to $65.10 per barrel nearing midday in London.
The market traded mixed Friday as traders weighed the global oversupply and modest demand.
Attiyah estimated at least two million barrels of oversupply of crude in the market at a time when several countries have built the largest stockpile in over 30 years.

Went to this place having read lots of review on TripAdvisor, was very unimpressed considering all the raving reviews. It was busy one evening so we came back later in the week for lunch. The restaurant was just over half full but the service was incredibly slow. I had the vegetarian Tagine which was naff and had no flavour!
My mate had the set menu which is better value for money. The pastelle de poulet was really tasty - the chicken and mushrooms were average with some undercooked chips and the crepe was crap.
The restaurant let in some local musicians who were begging for money and didn’t seem to mind them but just irritating when you want a break from the business of the souks.
The restaurant was well decorated and funky but it seems they’ve lost their way with the service and food.

Mini tats were on my "to do" list for yesterday's waiting time--some things to drop in cards of encouragement. Grabbing some thread and my shuttle bag, I dashed out the door to pick up and deliver my family members. When I pulled out my supplies at the hospital, I had everything I needed except the little set of patterns I had put on small cards the night before. A tatter with a shuttle and thread is never fully defeated though. We know how to make rings and chains and connect them together. Right? So I decided to try a flower on a stem. Jan's beautiful flowers (previous post) were my inspiration, but my goal was something much simpler and quicker. I want to make a lot of them fairly quickly. After a few starts and stops and a small pile of wasted thread, I managed to produce two flowers. A thorough search of my car, my purse, my tatting bag, my pockets, etc. couldn't produce those two flowers last night. These three were the results of trying to recreate them from memory. It was my oldest daughter who described them as looking like they are dancing. Tatting over ends and leaving the tails to form their little dancing legs means no ends to finish!

In my last post I showed a horse standing on a lid. Here he is again--his little legs are pretty rough still!
I save most of the lids that come on food containers here, run them through the dishwasher, and use them in the studio. There are lots of potential uses: a palette for small amounts of paint, a mixing tray for squashing together Apoxie Sculpt and rubbing alcohol to make a paste, bases for horses like Cooper who need something to stand on while being painted, and temporary holders for small sculptures like this one. I'll also put a bit of baking soda in one so it's easier to dip parts into when doing the soda-glue method with super glue. When they get dirty it's easy to just toss them, since it's what would have happened to them anyhow!

National Hurricane Center: Medium chance tropical system forms in the Gulf
A short-lived tropical depression or storm could form before moving ashore the Middle Texas Coast Friday night
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Eleven days before the official start of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season, a defined tropical system may form in the Gulf of Mexico Friday.
FRIDAY EVENING UPDATE
As of the 7pm update from the National Hurricane Center, the chance for the disturbance in the North / Western Gulf of Mexico to strengthen further has slightly lowered as it approaches the Texas coast, but is still there. The difference from the afternoon update, this area of interest now holds a 50% chance for development, slightly down from 60% this afternoon.
Some notable points of interest:
- Low pressure is still well defined but still limited in the rain and thunderstorm activity near the center of circulation
- Winds 30-35 mph still noted near and east of the center
- Environmental conditions are not particularly favorable for significant development, but only a slight increase in thunderstorm activity could result in further strengthening.
The system is expected to move inland along the Texas coastline overnight tonight. Regardless of additional strengthening before it does so, the overall message is still the same for how that impacts the Brazos Valley: additional rounds of scattered rain and tropical downpours will be possible through the upcoming weekend as plenty of tropical moisture sits in place. The severe threat is on the low end, but isolated flooding issues will need to be monitored given how saturated the grounds are from recent rains.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE
As of the 1pm update from the National Hurricane Center, the chance for an area of circulation in the North / Western Gulf of Mexico continues to hold a medium chance for development before making landfall around the Middle Texas Coast tonight. The difference from the morning update, this area of interest now holds a 60% chance for development, up from 40% this morning.
Some notable points of interest:
- Low pressure is now well defined but still limited in the rain and thunderstorm activity near the center of circulation
- Winds 30-35mph are near and east of the center
- Potential tropical cyclone advisories may be needed as early as Friday afternoon
The afternoon update goes on to note that a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm could form before this area of interest crawls out of the Gulf and inland tonight.
Regardless, at this time, the forecast for the Brazos Valley remains generally the same. A tighter circulation means the coverage of rain may not be as widespread Friday afternoon. Tropical downpours and lightning are still possible by or after 3pm through this evening. As the center of this system -- development or not -- drifts north somewhere between I-35 and Highway 77 in the far Western Brazos Valley, wind gusts 20-30mph are possible after midnight through Saturday morning.
FRIDAY: Scattered rain and a few heavy, tropical downpours are expected to move into the area from the south-southeast. While not constant rain, pockets of proficient rain producers will bring the chance for minor street flooding if they linger over one area long enough. Severe weather is not anticipated, however gusty wind and lightning will be a concern with any stronger storm that moves toward the north-northwest
FRIDAY NIGHT: Overall rain and thunderstorm activity should shrink in coverage, however, passing shower activity remains possible overnight. The center of this system is expected to pass somewhere between I-35 and the far Western Brazos Valley by sunrise Saturday. Should a tropical depression form, occasional gusts 20-30mph may be possible at times west of the Brazos River.
SATURDAY: If this area of interest becomes a defined system, it will quickly lose any tropical characteristics by early-to-mid morning Saturday. The center passes north into North Texas by afternoon and Oklahoma by the evening hours. As moisture continues to be pulled out of the Gulf of Mexico, on and off, passing rain and tropical downpours will remain possible from sunrise to sunset. Like Friday, this is not a wash-out type of forecast -- however, lightning and brief street flooding remain a concern for weekend plans.
The next update from the National Hurricane Center is anticipated to arrive by 7pm Friday. Should satellite data suggest a defined tropical system has formed, updates and any advisories may come earlier.
FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE
As of the 7am update from the National Hurricane Center, “recent satellite imagery suggests that a low-level circulation is forming...over the Western Gulf of Mexico.” With this latest update, the odds for some sort of tropical development have been increased to a medium, 40% chance. The Hurricane Center continues on to note the following:
Regardless of development, the latest guidance suggests that this tropical system will not win any awards for being incredibly notable in the traditional, tropical sense. For the Brazos Valley, the general forecast remains the same as the weekend approaches.

Grip-Tech Spare Wheel locks include improved vehicle specific mounting kits with lock nuts for the spare wheel. The range is part of our unique Auto-Grip® Wheel Security system for cars, trucks and trailers with steel or aluminium wheels.
The Auto-Grip spare wheel lock has no moving parts, and locks directly onto the wheel rim so it will never damage the rim or jam, even if covered in mud. It eliminates the weaknesses of conventional key-operated systems, and provides greater security, value and convenience.
Please visit our e-commerce site www.auto-grip.co.za , where you can search our latest products by vehicle make and model.
Grip-Tech is a approved supplier of spare wheel locks to Ford Motor Company (Motocraft), Hyundai, and several OEM distributors. Our vehicle specific SWL kits for Light Commercial vehicles include all 1 Ton and 1/2Ton vehicles (Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Isuzu, Colt, Mahindra, Tata, Hyundai etc), as well as trailers and caravans.
Advantages of Auto-Grip® Spare wheel locks compared to Conventional locks
The spare wheel on Light commercial utility vehicles and SUVs is mounted on the tailgate or underneath the chassis between the rear wheels where it is subjected to moisture, dirt, mud and impacts. This exposure causes conventional key operated spare wheel locks to jam, rust and get damaged.
Conventional spare wheel locks hang just below the spare wheel on a shaft that fits loosely through a wheel lug hole onto the chassis. Thieves attack the exposed shaft and snap off the hanging lock body. The shaft also damages the wheel lug hole through long term vibration.
The Auto-Grip® spare wheel lock system has improved vehicle specific mounting kits with lock nuts for the spare wheels, and no moving parts. It bolts directly onto the wheel so it will never damage the rim, and will never jam, even if buried in mud. The locks withstand off-road conditions and are approved by VESA and major motor manufacturers.
Auto-Grip® Total Wheel Security
The popular DIY Kits are our “full-house” kits that include 4 additional wheel locks for the road wheels, providing total wheel security.
All kits include detailed fitting instructions and are very easily installed in minutes.

- R. H. Hart and

Segregation in F1, F2, F3, and BC progenies from the cross, brown keel tip ✕ normal, suggested that brown keel tip was conditioned by a single dominant gene, B, inherited tetrasomically. A deficiency of recessive phenotypes was postulated to be due to the operation of alleles, CC, at an independent locus. The interaction of genes from these two loci appeared to be such that the double recessive form, bbbb cccc, was a zygotic lethal.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Complaints about noise are often one of the most difficult, and each case is handled a little differently depending upon the situation. Our department can assist you.
- It may take several complaints and/or interactions with your neighbor to see a difference; persistence and patience will be the key to finding a good resolution.
- You can report a barking dog online or call 311.
- Our department will reply in 3-5 business days and review each complaint to begin an investigation.
- You can also contact the Sacramento Mediation Center for private conflict resolution services
Talk to the Dog Owner:
- If possible and you feel comfortable, speak to the dog owner about the noise. Often people are unaware that there is a problem.
- If other neighbors share your concerns, try talking to the dog owner as a group, or sending a letter outlining the neighborhood’s concerns.
- Keep a written log, documenting the times and duration of the barking. This will help your case should you consider civil action against the dog owner.

Coat C/O Persunmall | Top from Sirens | Jeans from Suzy Shier | Purse from Thrift Shop | Steve Madden Heels
From time to time, winter can feel like a real drag on your personal style. It's not necessarily snowy, seeing as I reside in Victoria, but it's still cold, rainy, foggy, and occasionally quite windy. I've been making a concerted effort this winter to not let the dreary weather get to me and have been having a surprising amount of success thus far! I have a few neglected coats from years past which I've brought out and have been trying some different hat/scarf combinations and whatnot. I also recently got this lovely coat from Persunmall, it's quite different to what I'd typically go for -- patterned and leather sleeved -- but every now and then I feel the need to try something a bit different. I styled it with otherwise simple pieces, so as to let it take centre stage, and created a very slightly '90s inspired look!

Doing My first multiday trip as a civilian. (I'm in the military and not unacustomed to "rucking"). I also have limited climbing experience on two continents (N america and Europe). I am interested to talk to anyone that has either done the 84 mile hike or a similar hike.
Jeff,I've not done this route but I understand that it is not too demanding. People say that it is a fantastic walk though. Enjoy yourself. Want to do it myself sometime.
This is a B&B walk. There is only one stretch where you have to camp. The rest of the trip you can stay at B&Bs each night. A very civilized trip. Good hiking during the day, warm bed at night and a pub near by, Perfect.
I've done the coast-to-coast hike. If you have a chance, give that a go. Excellent.
hey i have grown up living in the north east of england and for much of the time i lived just off the wall in a town called hexham. while i have never hiked the entire wall i spent many days while younger on day hikes along the wall.you will find the paths well maintained and well used. the path undulates greatly but this just adds to the joy of walking it giving some magnificent views. towns along the wall are fairly common so resupply should be no problem and as mentioned above it is quite possible to b&b much of the way.Top Tip:-bring a coat and expect to use it!!!all the best and good luckandrew
I have done quite a lot of it; bit by bit. A nice walk - very easy going. If you cannot find lot's of advice online let me know and I can send various URL's that detail accommodation etc etc....The first sections are through a city....not my choice; but you might find it interesting...???

“Winning a SPARK Award would give me an opportunity to take what I’ve learned from working on the structure of rabies virus in the lab and apply it to the real world to help save lives.”
What if we could design longer-lasting vaccines?
Rabies virus is the source of an ongoing global pandemic that affects both humans and animals. Untreated rabies infection is nearly 100% lethal, and in spite of the existence of rabies vaccines, rabies continues to kill over 50,000 people every year and places a significant financial burden on the livestock industry. One reason rabies persists is because vaccine protection is short-lived. After about a year, anti-rabies antibodies decline and are no longer protective, necessitating annual repeat vaccinations to maintain immunity. Post-exposure treatment for rabies is also possible, but consists of multiple doses of rabies vaccine and expensive antiviral antibodies, making it unaffordable in low-income countries where most rabies deaths occur. To prevent these deaths, we need an effective, long-lasting rabies vaccine so that vulnerable individuals only need to be vaccinated once.
Rabies vaccines work by generating antibodies against the rabies glycoprotein, the only protein on the surface of rabies virus. In order to develop a robust, long-lasting immune response, a vaccine needs to present multiple copies of identically shaped rabies glycoprotein trimers (three glycoproteins forming a functional unit) to the immune system. However, rabies glycoprotein is unusually heterogeneous and adopts multiple shapes, making it difficult for the immune system to ‘see’ the right forms of rabies glycoprotein to generate long-lasting antibody producing cells. In the Saphire lab, I have engineered a stabilized version of the rabies glycoprotein to greatly reduce its heterogeneity. With SPARK award funding, I plan to vaccinate mice with this newly stabilized protein and test how the immune system responds to stabilized rabies glycoprotein compared to existing vaccines containing heterogenous, unmodified rabies glycoprotein. I will determine if the immune response is longer lasting after vaccination with stabilized glycoprotein and isolate anti-rabies antibodies that can be used both to develop more potent antiviral therapies and to further engineer the rabies glycoprotein to improve vaccines. If successful, I will obtain preliminary data that will give valuable insight into the production of an improved, long-lasting rabies vaccine and potent antiviral antibodies, and allow me to apply for additional funding for larger scale testing.

We’ve got a few updates on the Yu Darvish offseason game of chicken, but not much:
- Jon Morosi is reporting rumors indicating the Twins are willing to offer Yu Darvish a five year deal, but the Cubs and the Dodgers aren’t willing to go that far... yet? Of course, keep in mind Morosi was also the one who said it was increasingly likely Darvish would sign “this week” a week ago.
- There’s speculation that Darvish’s top choice would be to return to the Dodgers, but the team would “need” to clear salary in order to sign him. The thought is that Darvish is waiting for them to do that, though it’s not clear if they can or actually will.
- So what if the Twins don’t land Darvish? Twins beat writer Rhett Bollinger has some ideas (though nothing too new).
- MLB owners are holding their annual owners meetings in Beverly Hills this week, and hopefully that can help get things FINALLY MOVING, though mega MLB agent Scott Boras isn’t so hopeful.
- Judd Zulgad of ESPN 1500 has a unique proposal: the Twins should sign Yu Darvish so distract us from all this depressing Super Bowl stuff. I mean... sure. Sounds easy enough.

Comparing Dissolved Oxygen in the Woods, the Wet Area near the Succession Plots, the Winthrop Lake, and the Wetlands
March 8, 2013
Title: Multiple comparisons between different locations with dissolved oxygen. Is there a difference in the dissolved oxygen in the wetlands, woods, lake, and water area near the succession plots? Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen that appears inside water. This experiment was tested over Winthrop University’s school ground wetlands. The wetlands are proximately about 1.1 acres in length. Also the amount of dissolved oxygen in the wet area that is close to the succession plot may have been influenced by the bug’s activity. The Winthrop woods are naturally made without the help of mankind and represents the natural structures of habitats for different species. Like the lake and the wetlands versus the woods, the results show that there is a greater amount dissolved oxygen in the water sources with the most activity. Leading with this, the water near the succession plots did have the most dissolved oxygen could be because there is bug activity and vegetation that increases the amount of dissolved oxygen. Introduction
This is experiment focused on dissolved oxygen within different water locations. The hypothesis is, if there is a correlation between dissolved oxygen and water activity, and also in the wetlands there will be a greater amount of dissolved oxygen. Swanson, H.A. and Baldwin, H.L. from Water Quality stated, “Rapidly moving water, such as in a mountain stream or a large river, tends to contain a lot of dissolved oxygen, whereas stagnant water contains less. Bacteria in water can consume oxygen as organic matter decays (USGS Georgia Water Science Center).” Dissolved oxygen is the term used for the amount of oxygen in water. The aquatic life such as fish, animals, and the underwater plant life need dissolved oxygen to survive. If there is a lot of dissolved oxygen in the water then the fish will overpopulate using too much dissolved oxygen and if there is less dissolved oxygen then there will be less fish in the water. This goes for bacteria also producing a green film (algae) on top of the water if there is a great amount of dissolved oxygen. If this may occur, the aquatic life will be deprived of oxygen and die. Other factors affecting dissolved oxygen could be the weather temperature, rain fall, and surface area. If the surface area is greatly decreased then the amount of oxygen will be less in the body of water. Also the hotter the temperature of water, the less dissolved oxygen it will have. An organization called APEC, implied,
“Dissolved oxygen (DO) refers to the amount of oxygen dissolved in water and is particularly important in limnology (aquatic ecology). Oxygen comprises approximately 21% of the total gas in the atmosphere; however, it is much less available in water. The amount of oxygen water can hold depends upon temperature (more oxygen can be dissolved in colder water), pressure (more oxygen can be dissolved in water at greater pressure), and salinity (more oxygen can be dissolved in water of lower salinity). Many lakes and ponds have anoxic (oxygen deficient) bottom layers in the summer because of decomposition processes depleting the oxygen (APEC).” Materials and Methods
In this experiment, we set out to determine the area with the greatest dissolved oxygen. This experiment was tested in Rock Hill, South Carolina at The Winthrop Recreational Research Complex location. Using a dissolved oxygen probe connected to a LabQuest Vernier with the software Logger Pro, the experiment was tested in the woods, wetlands, lake, and a water area near the woods. In each location there were five samples taken to be tested. Every location had the samples taken in different positions inside the area. Within each water location tested, the first sample of water was taken half a meter...

The UK Mobility
During October of 2014, 64 delegates from our partner schools descended into the Lake district. We had arranged sole occupancy of a Youth Hostel in Ambleside, where everyone, staff and students would become one large family for the week. This proved to be popular with everyone. With no TV, during the evenings we were able to enjoy impromptu musical performances, social games and we even organised a wine tasting evening for the staff. Usually, we ate at the hostel, with food provided by a local catering company ‘ Cracking Spread.’ Our guests were treated to a mixture of local fayre food in the evenings and an assortment of packed lunches during the day.
During the week, there was a planned agenda, which was a mix of formal meetings, tours of the college campuses and the town, a boat trip across Windermere to Wray castle, where there was a Geo Cache trail, lunch in the castle and a tour of the building and grounds. The highlight was of course, a guided tour ride along our trail The Settle to Carlisle line on the train and on another day a guided coach tour through the lake district and the small towns and villages which are along the line. This tour was conducted by Sarah Tathams father. While in Appleby, we met the Town Mayor who gave us an interesting brief history of the town. The Business Studies students had arranged a guided tour of Carlisle and the Cathedral.
We spent two days in college, where all staff worked together to create and run some fabulous workshops – The business Studies students and Bev organised a lovely welcome, with gift bags were supplied by The British Council, along with small British Council Learn English’ merchandise ( the local contents including amongst other things, Kendal Mint Cake and umbrellas were sourced by the students) The Computer studies team ran an ICT workshop in the Learning Centre, there were CAD demonstrations in the engineering department, Nick from Estates brought in some live owls ( the owl is the mascot for the game) from his rescue centre, there were chocolate making workshops with Yannick and one of his students, woodworking with the construction team, beauty sessions with Alysia and her team and the animal rescue and childcare team also held small workshops. All students had the opportunity to visit the workshops. The cafeteria served a delicious full english breakfast, the restaurant provided a wonderful three course lunch served by the hospitality course students and a cookery demonstration also by one of the students. The catering staff also provided an excellent buffet to welcome our guests. Buses for general transport were arranged through Stephensons – a local company and Eddie Stobart Ltd provided a luxury coach for the tour of the Settle Carlisle towns and villages. At the end of the week, Peter Price accompanied the Polish team for a day trip around ‘The Beatles Story’ in Liverpool and Marilyn and her husband drove the Romanian team to London in their coach for a full sightseeing day at Windsor Castle and London before they boarded their plane home.

Director Henry Corra on his Heartbreaking, Beautiful Farewell to Hollywood
When director Henry Corra met aspiring young filmmaker Regina Nicholson at a film festival, neither knew they would be embarking on a journey that would become literally about life and death.
The result of their collaboration is Farewell to Hollywood: The Life and Death of Reggie Nicholson, an intimate documentary that emerges as a powerful portrait of the spunky Nicholson as she goes through cancer treatment and estrangement from her parents to realizing her dream of making a personal, poetic film. Along the way, we see the deepening friendship between Reggie and Corra, who becomes her mentor, collaborator and friend.
“When I met Reggie, she was 17. I had no idea how this story was going to turn out, and it turned out to be, quite frankly, one of the most intense coming of age stories that I’ve ever experienced because of Reggie’s tenacity, humor and bravery,” says Corra, 55, whose Corra Films, Inc. is based in New York. “I thought, at the beginning, ‘What an amazing character and what an amazing transformation is going to occur; what chutzpah she has.’”
Corra says Reggie, who died at age 20, would be pleased that their project will have a theatrical release. International Film Circuit will open Farewell to Hollywood in New York City tonight, on Feb. 25 (Reggie’s birthday) and in Los Angeles on March 13. A national release will follow. But that wasn’t the goal when they began, he says. “We weren’t thinking of anything except making a good movie. We were making it for ourselves and the group around us.”
Nicholson was a film buff drawn to Corra’s immersive approach to documentary. Corra is known for pioneering “living cinema,” a verite style that allows the filmmaker to be part of the unfolding story. He was influenced by two legends: Albert and David Maysles (Salesman, Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter) with whom he collaborated from 1981 to 1994.
“David Maysles was my mentor. I stepped in when he had heart attack,” says Corra, whose credits include Umbrellas (1995), Same Sex America (2005), the Emmy-nominated NY77 (2007) and The Disappearance of McKinley Nolan (2010). Living Cinema, he says, began with Grey Gardens and “the moment David Maysles panned over and we saw him and Al in the mirror.” In that classic film, the Maysles “allowed Edie to talk to David and show her love for him. There are some echoes of ‘Grey Gardens’ in ‘Farewell to Hollywood,’” he says.
Those echoes include Reggie’s contagious passion for cinema, her desire for independence from her parents, and a filmmaking style that some might see as exploitative or voyeuristic while others will be moved by how much it reveals.
“We settled on the film language early on and Reggie was a quick study; she was smart as a whip,” says Corra. “I said, ‘We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we need rules.’ And she said [she wanted the film to be] a ‘nonfiction fairy tale.’ She said, ‘I want to pace out the pain, don’t cut away from it. Then go inside my head.’ Through movies and poetry, we created a film language together, a portrait of [Reggie] that’s both inside and out.”
Corra is no stranger to those who might criticize his approach of allowing himself to be part of the story rather than an objective observer. His 2006 documentary George was his deeply subjective film about his autistic son, who did much of the camera work, so that the film might convey what autism feels like. “I actually put myself in the situation and work with the subject to create portraiture and film language,” Corra says. “Some people said ‘George’ was difficult but also moving if you stick with it.” He expects Farewell to Hollywood to elicit similar reactions. “It’s an ordeal, an experience, a poem. It’s not the kind of movie that gives you an entertaining ride; it engages you fully. I don’t want to make movies [that merely entertain] and neither did Reggie.”
Besides a lyrical portrait of a budding artist eager to express herself as death is closing in, Farewell to Hollywood is also personal for Corra since he was by Reggie’s side as she faced the prospect of death. “I don’t feel like a hero. I made a promise to see her through. She wanted to die beautifully and gracefully, those were her words,” he says. “I took that obligation seriously and I wanted to make sure the film got finished.”
That didn’t happen for three months after Reggie died at the home she’d moved into in Pasadena. “I could not come back to New York. I had loose ends to tie up with her healthcare and the lease on her house. I was crying all the time…I call it going fetal,” he says. “We’d been in panic mode for two years and we were exhausted.” Corra says he showed Reggie a three-hour rough cut of the film before she died. Three months later, he was able to spend time editing it and raising the finishing money.
“She was the perfect collaborator for me because my whole career, I’ve chosen films that I know are going to change my life forever, [that are going to] be transformative experiences and, hopefully, are so for the audience, too. I believe you should make things you’re afraid of; face your deepest, most primal fears; be brave and not run away. In the early stages [of making the film], I was terrified. It was only by getting to know her and having such a close collaboration that my fears dropped away, thanks to her incredible love of life,” he says. “Reggie got to soar and go to places that would not have happened without those circumstances.”


Ran another 250 rounds of my own cast bullet through my G-36 and it ran perfectly. Can't say the same for my aging eyes but my 36 sure did its job. Have run cast bullet in it for ten+ years and that works out to 100-300 a week. Not a big deal for a Glock but my 1911's run just as well too. Got my G-36 after my wife complained that the 1911 was ruining her couch. She's a G-17 kind of woman so to keep the peace I got my first plastic gun. Use to be able to get better group with the G-36 than with thousand dollar Kimbers. Damn fine pistol in the hands of someone who can see.
