Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. In fact, two in three of us will develop some form of skin cancer by the time we’re 70. And for regional South Australians, the risk is even greater.
South Australians who live in rural areas have up to 31 per cent higher chance of developing skin cancer, with coastal and agricultural regions having the highest incidence.
To help combat this, Cancer Council SA is rolling out virtual information sessions (webinars) on Zoom in place of the remaining face to face Regional Roadshow events, which were cancelled due to Coronavirus (COVID-19).
These free information sessions, made possible thanks to funding from Country SA PHN, aim to share important skin cancer prevention and early detection messages, with the ultimate goals of improving everyday sun protection behaviours and reducing the incidence of cancer in South Australian regional communities.
If you would like to participate in this session, you will need access to a smart device such as a computer, laptop, iPad or Smart Phone (Apple or Android).
Those who participate in the webinars and complete the post-event survey will receive a free skin cancer awareness pack which includes a personal skin cancer early detection tool and a number of additional SunSmart resources.

Scenic is a domain-specific probabilistic programming language for modeling the environments of cyber-physical systems like robots and autonomous cars. A Scenic program defines a distribution over scenes, configurations of physical objects and agents; sampling from this distribution yields concrete scenes which can be simulated to produce training or testing data. Scenic can also define (probabilistic) policies for dynamic agents, allowing modeling scenarios where agents take actions over time in response to the state of the world.

Romantic Muses - Who's your muse?
A lot of us writers often throw out references to our muses. "Oh, she went on vacation, I can't write anything now." Or maybe: "She's on fire. I can't write fast enough for her." Some of our muses even have names and inspire us in ways we often don't realize. But where did muses come from?
From Greek myths, the muses are goddesses and the inspiration for literature, sciences and the arts. They are the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Some of their names may sound familiar: Calliope, Clio, Thalia, and Erato is the muse for love poetry.
Erato's name shares the same roots as Eros. She's the muse of lyric, love, and erotic poetry. She's often depicted holding a harp and in Eros' company. From the pictures I've seen, she reminds me of Venus – a beautiful young woman, gifted, graceful, and inspirational.
Finding romantic inspiration can be easy- it's all around us. Flowers, chocolates and cards are materials things that inspire romance. You can dedicate a song to your loved one. You can write them a poem about your feelings. A romantic gesture can go a long way. Treating your loved one to a movie or a dinner are romantic gestures that a muse might inspire. How does Erato inspire you?
Question for you: Do you have a muse? What is his/her name? What have written or done that you can say your muse inspired you?
Stephanie Burkhart is a 911 Dispatcher for LAPD. Her short story, "Matchmaking Amusement" is in the Be Mused Anthology.

India Seaports Security Concern
The devastating November attack on Mumbai which killed 179 people in a three-day siege has awakened India’s navy to the idea that the 10 terrorists who arrived in the Mumbai harbor by rubber boats to create such mayhem could just as easily have eluded detection if they had been carrying a "dirty" nuclear bomb.
An investigation later showed that not only were Mumbai port authorities woefully unprepared for the attack, India’s entire coastline and smaller ports are probably even more vulnerable, not only because of poorly trained and inefficient security personnel but because of widespread corruption. Heads have rolled across the country’s entire security apparatus.
The terrorists arrived by a hijacked trawler off the coast after a trip from Pakistani waters, according to the investigation, after killing the crew of the trawler, then took to the rubber boat to enter the harbor itself. They were observed by myriad people who never gave the alarm.
Beyond that kind of operation, containers pose a bigger problem. India’s Naval chief Admiral Suresh Mehta warned last week that ports lack adequate security measures, saying that 70-75 percent of global cargo is shipped in containers which could be successfully used by terrorist organizations to ship weapons of mass destruction or nuclear weapons into India.
The containers could also be used to smuggle related equipment/technology unless thoroughly scanned by X-ray machines. The naval chief stressed that India must achieve 100 percent foolproof safety of its ports and shipping containers.
Sources in India’s Intelligence Bureau (IB) have spoken about Indian fears that jihadi terror groups are looking smuggle ‘loose nukes’ into countries such as India with lax security and anti-terror apparatus. India, the officials say, lacks a well-implemented action plan at the ports with inadequate ‘special security audits’ at major sea ports, ‘vehicle tracking systems’ and ‘keeping tabs on all trucks entering the port premises.’
According to a technical explanation by the website PEAC, a dirty bomb is neither a nuclear fission nor thermonuclear weapon. It is rather a conventional bomb with radioactive materials attached to it that can be set off by the explosives within the bomb, which then disperse the radioactive materials across a relatively wide area. It is not as deadly as pure nuclear device, but it can do plenty of damage. A large dirty bomb can be delivered by boat and would be considerably cheaper and less detectable than the missiles Pakistan is testing and which India watches closely.
As an example of the porous condition of security at India’s ports, drugs and contraband are smuggled in constantly and more so at the Mumbai areas, the commercial hub of the country. Gujarat ports such as Dahej and Hazira, with proximity to the Mumbai can easily be affected. Beyond that, however, India has 12 major ports and nearly 200 minor ones, with about 90 percent of the volume of foreign trade and nearly 80 percent of total value of foreign trade via containers.
Experience shows there is cause for concern. In the early 90s the officials at coast and ports were bribed by underworld gangsters such as the notorious Dawood Ibrahim to smuggle in the military explosive RDX and other incendiary material into Mumbai. Customs, handlers, coast guard personnel were involved in the logistics, though many did not know that what they were shipping and clearing was meant for one of the most horrific bomb attacks on the city, in 1993 in which more than 250 people died and over 700 were injured.
In addition, in May 2005 a cache of arms was found by Indian police in a container at the port of Mumbai. In late 2004, bomb disposal squads of the Indian Army and the National Security Guards defused live rocket shells from a scrap consignment that arrived from Iran. There has been intelligence feedback that explosives used in the Mumbai train serial blasts in July 2006 that killed nearly 190 people and injured over 800, were smuggled into India through the porous Gulf of Kutch coastline (in Gujarat).
The fact remains that the perpetrators of the November Mumbai attacks escaped notice of a bewildering myriad of authorities involved in the security of Indian waters and ports. From the sea-side it is the Indian Coast Guard that patrols the waters under the federal ministry of defense, traversing an area between 10 and 30 nautical miles. From shore to five nautical miles out is under the coastal police and customs authorities. The high seas are protected by the Indian Navy.
From land, it is the Central Industrial Security Force under the federal Home Ministry that mans the ports.
While the involvement of a multi-layered security network with different reporting structures makes infiltration difficult, it is hardly impossible. Corruption is a big issue. IB sources say that this is best reflected in resistance by staff to be continuously monitored by CCTV cameras at ports. And even if CCTV cameras are installed, there is no guarantee that they work, that they are pointed at the right direction or recordings of proceedings are happening.
Personnel in various agencies are known to be familiar with known agents and middle men, who use secret codes that are understood by staff. In such coordinated efforts money is known to change hands with the slush fund then divided between security personnel.
In the wake of the Mumbai attacks, New Delhi announced a new coastal security apparatus, though Indian implementation standards need to be fine tuned. The government is establishing a Coastal Command headed by the Coast Guard Director General and a Maritime Security Advisory Board for effective linkages across the entire maritime domain.
Joint operation centers on both the east and west coasts are being drafted for better co-ordination. Security agencies will outfit trawlers with transponders to pin point their position in the high seas. The Indian Navy has stressed the stringent application of an ‘International Ship and Port Facility Security Code’ (ISPS) that forms part of the international convention ‘Safety Of Life At Sea,’ a set of measures on security arrangements for ships, ports and government agencies.
Under the ISPS level 2 codes no outsiders are allowed within the sanitized port area. The ISPS Code was instituted as part of the international community's response to the hijacking of an Italian cruise ship in October 1985.
After the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks in the US on September 11, 2001, the United States considerably tightened its security through the so-called Container Security Initiative and Proliferation Security Initiative. India, however, has not subscribed to them. Washington wants the Indian government to ratify the container security initiative, for instance, so that all US-bound cargo could be checked by US customs officials at the Indian ports where the cargo originates.
India sees this as a surrender of sovereign rights though the US guarantees reciprocal rights to participant countries. Admiral Mehta has called for a universal application of the initiative and not a US-specific one for foolproof security on a par with airport security systems.
New Delhi has also appointed the Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL) as the lead agency for implementation of electronic cargo inspection systems (ECIS) and absorption of the technologies involved.
Cooperation between Indian security agencies and American Federal Bureau of Investigation, after the Mumbai attack is expected to bring about a qualitative enhancement of Indian understanding of anti-terror measures. The Indo-US Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) signed in December, 2005, provides the two countries with a legal mechanism that enables assisting each other in crimes related to terrorism.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Buffalo National River’s designation as a national park, the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism has dedicated a special interactive section of its website to history and information about the Buffalo.
More than that, though, it’s a great place for the Buffalo River faithful to share their memories of camping and floating on the river.
The microsite titled Buffalo National River 40th Anniversary went live on March 1 and by March 20 it had nearly 5,000 visitors, said Kat Robinson, communications manager for tourism department. The site will be up for a year, she said.
“There’s a lot of interest,” she said, not only for the Buffalo, but for other water attractions, as well. Traffic to the lakes and rivers section of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism website has more than doubled since the Buffalo microsite when up.
“I love the Buffalo River!”
Already, floaters and followers are connecting and sharing information on the site via Facebook.
One post from a woman in Bella Vista read (edited for grammar): “I have spent every summer for 47 years enjoying this beautiful place! My family camped at Buffalo Point the majority of the summer when I was growing up. We met many wonderful friends over the years. This is home to me! I cry every time I leave!
“There is something so magical about the river. It captivates its visitors and begs them to return again! I love my Buffalo River!”
The site’s prominent element is an interactive map with pins marking landings and GPS coordinates along the 135-mile stretch of the river that is part of the national park. Information on outfitters, dining and lodging is just a click further.
It’s well-known — or should be — that the Buffalo National River was under the threat of damming by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until President Richard Nixon signed a law designating it a national park on March 1, 1972. The late U.S. Sen. J. William Fulbright and former U.S. Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt, R-Harrison, provided support from Washington. At home, the late Dr. Neil Compton, founding president of the Ozark Society, led a local crusade to save it from damming.
The background, maps and information are all good and well, but nothing beats being there, especially this time of year. However, the tourism department (and a few contributors) do their best to give website visitors a snapshot of the best the river has to offer, from the shiny silver bluffs overlooking Steel Creek to the somewhat elusive Whitaker Point. Visitors are also encouraged to post photos.
The microsite also features blogs from the state’s travel writers, who will report in from the field over the coming year.

Harsha Agadi, former chief executive of Friendly’s Ice Cream LLC, has been named executive chairman of Quiznos board of managers, the company said Tuesday.
Agadi is one of several new additions to Quiznos’ board following the financial restructuring of the Denver-based sandwich chain earlier this year, which shifted ownership to Avenue Capital Group.
Other new Quiznos board members are:
• Claire Babrowski, who has served as chief restaurant operations officer at McDonald’s
• Doug Benham, former president and chief executive of Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc., who also serves on the boards of Sonic and O’Charley’s
• Kip Knight, a former marketing executive at KFC International and Taco Bell, who also has held marketing positions at Procter & Gamble, eBay and PepsiCo.
Greg MacDonald, Quiznos chief executive, remains in place, Agadi said in a statement.
“We have confidence in Greg MacDonald and his team as they work to revitalize Quiznos and reinforce the brand’s promise as a fresh, high-quality and great-tasting alternative to traditional fast-food offerings,” he said. “Working together, we believe we have developed a financial plan that will allow the company to move toward achieving its long-term strategic goals.
Agadi stepped down as Friendly’s chief executive earlier this month, although he remains on the board there. Friendly’s emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January after closing 100 restaurants and eliminating much of its debt.
An industry veteran with more than 25 years experience, Agadi also has worked with Domino’s Pizza, Pepsi, Kraft, General Foods, Little Caesars Enterprises and Church’s Chicken.
“We are excited to be a part of the Quiznos team and look forward to working with management, the franchise owners and the employees in the weeks and months ahead,” Agadi said. “The future of Quiznos is purely dependent on franchise profitability and same-store sales, and that is our fundamental focus.”

Agricultural intensification and the destruction of semi-natural habitats (shrubland, hedges, herb-rich strips) is one of the principal causes of observed biodiversity loss. While reverting cultivated land to semi-natural habitat often remains difficult in many landscapes, increasing the complexity of the crop mosaic, by making field sizes smaller and/or increasing crop diversity, has recently been suggested as an alternative to favour biodiversity in farmed landscapes, while maintaining the area under agricultural production.
This is the hypothesis that was tested across a huge study2 involving 30 laboratories from eight countries and covering eight regions of Europe and Canada. This study is based on observations collected from 1305 cultivated fields, situated in 435 1km2 agricultural landscapes in which average field size, crop diversity and semi-natural habitat area varied independently. The researchers identified more than 167,000 individuals of 2795 species spread across seven taxonomic groups (birds, butterflies, bees, hoverflies, spiders, ground beetles and plants). They then calculated a synthetic index grouping the information on these seven taxonomic groups in order to assess the biodiversity in each of the 435 study landscapes.
The researchers thus showed, for the first time at such a large geographical scale, that increasing the complexity of the crop mosaic is as beneficial for biodiversity as increasing the quantity of semi-natural habitats. For example, decreasing field size from 5 to 2.8ha is associated with an increase in biodiversity that is comparable to that observed when the cover semi-natural habitat rises from 0.5 to 11%. This study also shows that small fields have a positive effect on biodiversity even in the absence of semi-natural vegetation between the fields (hedges, herb-rich strips). Crop diversity has a positive effect on biodiversity because different crop types often harbour different species, but also because different crops supply complementary and necessary resources to support certain species in farmed landscapes. Crop diversification is especially beneficial in farmed landscapes with greater than 11% cover of semi-natural habitats, which are represented by half of the farmed landscapes sampled in this study.
These results revealed that farmed landscapes with smaller fields and more diverse crops harbour higher biodiversity. Increasing the complexity of crops therefore represents an as yet unrecognized but valuable measure to conserve and restore farmland biodiversity. Agri-environmental policies favouring a reduction in the average size of cultivated fields and, in some conditions3, more diverse cropping, makes it possible to maintain high biodiversity as well as to maintain the existing surface areas under agricultural production. These results contribute to informing ongoing debates around the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy.

Ten times more earthquakes now detected in Southern California. The richer data set will allow scientists to gain a clearer picture of how seismic events affect the region
Two powerful earthquakes struck Southern California, causing concern over a large area already from Las Vegas to Sacramento to Los Angeles to Mexico, rattling nerves and disrupting plans on a holiday weekend. There were no reports of fatalities and no severe damage to infrastructure, but questions on how earthquake science has progressed have been raised.
Leer en español: Luego de dos terremotos, la búsqueda de temblores ocultos continúa en el sur de California
A group of scientists developed a technique to reliably record all earthquakes down to a magnitude of 0.29 on the Richter Scale, whereas previous methods, only allowed earthquakes larger than size 1.7 to be reliably recovered.
"Earthquakes follow a well-known power-law size relation, with smaller events occurring much more often than larger events. Earthquake catalogs are thus dominated by small earthquakes yet are still missing a much larger number of even smaller events because of signal fidelity issues. To overcome these limitations, we applied a template-matching detection technique to the entire waveform archive of the regional seismic network in Southern California," the researchers reported.
Template matching is a technique in which slightly more massive and more easily identifiable earthquakes are used as templates to illustrate what an earthquake's signal at a given location should look like. When a likely candidate with the matching waveform was identified, the researchers then scanned records from nearby seismometers to see whether the earthquake's signal had been recorded elsewhere and could be independently verified.
"This effort resulted in a catalog with 1.81 million earthquakes, a 10-fold increase, which provides important insights into the geometry of fault zones at depth, foreshock behavior and nucleation processes, and earthquake-triggering mechanisms. The rich detail resolved in this type of catalog will facilitate the next generation of analyses of earthquakes and faults," the scientists added.
The new data reveals that there are about 495 earthquakes daily across Southern California occurring at an average of roughly three minutes apart. Previous earthquake cataloging had suggested that approximately 30 minutes would elapse between seismic events.
"It's not that we didn't know these small earthquakes were occurring. The problem is that they can be challenging to spot amid all of the noise," Zachary Ross, lead author of the study, stated.
Ross collaborated with Egill Hauksson, a research professor of geophysics at Caltech, as well as Daniel Trugman of Los Alamos National Laboratory and Peter Shearer of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
"The findings were worth the effort," Hauksson said. "Seismicity along one fault affects faults and quakes around it, and this newly fleshed-out picture of seismicity in Southern California will give us new insights into how that works," Hauksson added. The expanded earthquake catalog reveals previously undetected foreshocks that precede significant earthquakes as well as the evolution of swarms of earthquakes. "The richer data set will allow scientists to gain a clearer picture of how seismic events affect and move through the region," Ross concluded.

To a Gallant
Tune: “Magpie on the Branch”
Where have you gone like cloud from day to day,
Forgetting to come homeward way?
Don’t you know spring’s grown old and late?
Flowers and grass by roadside teem on Cold-Food Day.
Under whose tree’s your scented cab and at whose gate?
Alone on balcony, with tearful eyes I query
A pair of returning swallows, dreary,
Whether they have met you on the pathway.
Spring sorrow’s running wild like willowdown, it seems;
Nowhere can I find you, e’en in my lonely dreams.

A couple years ago I decided that it would be nice to come up with my own version of a SANTA CLAUS,,, now I have seen many versions over the years some great some not so much,,, I wanted a carving of one that I developed,,, so,,, the idea was just the iconic toque, face and beard.
Size,,, well I didn't think small was the way to go as there are thousands of those,,, How about one you could hang on the wall that would not get lost in all the seasons decorations,,, so I started with an image with the face about life size and a long beard,,,
Grabbing my chainsaw,,, within a few minutes I had roughed out the first stage from a not so great piece of Red Cedar ,,, then set to shaping with my Makita detail sander. Then onto the hand carving with knives and gouges and power tools (dremel, and Die grinder ,,, not to long down this road I had my first image ,,, then it was a matter of deciding what worked and what didn't,,,
This is a great way to develop an image,,, carve more then one ,,, this approach was really great,,, way better then just drawing an image then another then another etc. or doing a one off,,, I went through the process of carving five always asking myself "what works and what doesn't " ,,, I could see with each one, things I could improve on even the best parts of each had lots of room to improve ,,,
To often I have done one off carving and they would end up being what ever they where when they where finished,,, some where Ok and some where firewood and the odd one was pretty good for where my skills where at at the time ,,, Yet all had issues i was not happy about and i would just live with the result,,,
It has been a great way to explore and develop this Idea of Santa,,, Cheers HKL

“The Horizontal Metropolis. A radical Project” is an oxymoron to conjugate the traditional idea of metropolis (the center of a vast territory, hierarchically organized, dense, vertical, produced by polarization) with horizontality (the idea of a more diffuse, isotropic urban condition, where center and periphery blur).
The Ville-territoire connecting Geneva to St. Gall, the Città diffusa of Northern Italy, the Desakota in China, Japan, Thailand or Vietnam or the Zwischenstadt in Germany are just some of the figures able to effectively describe the emergence, in very different contexts, of a completely new urban condition. Closely interlinked, co-penetrating rural/urban realms, communication, transport and economic systems characterize these complex territorial constructions where agriculture and non-agricultural economic activities create an original mix.
In contrast with main trends that see figures of urban dispersion mainly as a phenomenon to be contrasted or a problem to be solved, the Horizontal Metropolis concept consider them beyond the theme of “peri-urban” and “sub-urban” and thus as an asset, not a limit, for the construction of a sustainable and innovative urban and territorial project. In these territories horizontality of infrastructure, urbanity and relations, mixed use and diffuse accessibility can generate specific habitable and ecologically efficient spaces. In this frame of thinking, the Horizontal Metropolis works as natural and spatial capital and as an agent of transformation, it is a support and place of potentiality. The exhibition investigates the Horizontal Metropolis, its space, its traditions and its inhabitants, its relevance today as an energetic, ecological and social design issue, it explores scenarios and design strategies for the re-cycling and upgrading of cities-territory in a radical project.

Private health insurance premiums will increase by a weighted industry average of 6.18 per cent from April 1 2015, with Health Minister Sussan Ley encouraging consumers to “shop around to get the best deal”.
Ms Ley said total benefits paid to private health insurance members grew by over $1 billion – or 7.4 per cent – to about $17.3 billion in the 12 months to December 2014.
Ms Ley said this was an ongoing challenge faced by successive governments, with Labor approving average annual premium increases as high as 6 per cent during their six years in office.
However, with some individual health funds set to offer below-average premium increases as low as 3.98 per cent*, Ms Ley encouraged people unhappy with their current fund to check out the competition using the Government’s independent comparison website www.privatehealth.gov.au.
“Over 13 million Australians now have some form of private health insurance and it’s therefore essential for the health of our nation that we continue to maintain a strong and competitive market,” Ms Ley said.
“To achieve that we must ensure any premiums increases strike the right balance between keeping them affordable for consumers without putting the financial viability of the sector at risk.
“With over 30 private health funds now operating in the Australian market, my strong advice to consumers is shop around to get the best deal if you are unhappy with your health fund’s offering.
“If you want independent advice on health insurance that is free of commissions, link directly to www.privatehealth.gov.au.”
Private health insurance benefits paid to members increased by 7.4 per cent from $16.09 billion in the December 2013 Quarter to $17.28 billion in December 2014 Quarter.
The weighted industry average health insurance premium increase for 2014 was 6.2 per cent.
*The full list of average premium increases for individual health funds is available at here.

Liberal white woman on crusade to ‘fix racism’ goes viral for berating black cops (VIDEOS)
A liberal white woman is being roasted on social media for attempting to explain away her harassment of black police officers as part of her crusade to “fix racism.”
The incident took place on Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington DC on Tuesday, when the woman was among a group of protesters haranguing police officers, who were monitoring the demonstrations taking place in the shadow of the White House.
The woman could be heard asking a black police officer “when you take off your uniform are you afraid of police?” only to be met with stoic silence from the cop, who was one of several black cops who were present.
The woman’s tirade was interrupted by Henry Rodgers, a congressional correspondent with the Daily Caller news outlet, who asked her if it was problematic that she was white and was unloading on two black police officers.
White woman yelling at black officers. pic.twitter.com/dEdfTf0Dgw— Henry Rodgers (@henryrodgersdc) June 23, 2020
“Just because I'm white and I haven't experienced racism myself doesn’t mean I can't fight for justice. They’re a part of the system. They’re a part of the problem,” the woman explained, in footage that Rodgers posted on Twitter.
“Just because they’re black doesn’t mean they’re not a part of the problem. I’m allowed to say this to whoever,” she added.
Racism is a white person’s problem. Racism is my problem! I need to fix it! That’s why I'm here talking to all of them. Black, white, f**king brown, purple, I don’t give a s**t!
In another clip from the scene the woman could be seen ostentatiously sticking her camera phone in another police officer’s face and sarcastically telling the officer to “smile for Breonna Taylor.”
“Smile,” a white woman (in lululemon) tells a black cop. pic.twitter.com/GkmH8QJLmW— Emily Jashinsky (@emilyjashinsky) June 23, 2020
The woman’s diatribe raised more than a few eyebrows on social media and Rodgers’s footage of the incident racked up more than two million views on Twitter. Many excoriated the woman’s actions and accused her of having a “patronizing attitude” and a “superiority complex”.
The incident prompted the parody liberal account Titania McGrath to quip: “In order to defeat white supremacy, it’s important to rebuke black people who won’t do what they’re told.”
Watching this makes me so angry. The disrespect is infuriating.— Lisa Boothe (@LisaMarieBoothe) June 23, 2020
Not surprised. White liberals always think they know what's best for Amer blacks. I mean, we can't live without them. How would we even know to scratch our a$$es if a white liberal didn't put up a picture sign for us?— 100%Trump2020 (@gwendoes) June 23, 2020

Founder: Shinto claims no founder
Main Tenets: Shinto (or kami no michi, "way of the kami," or gods) is a prehistoric religious tradition indigenous to Japan, which has been influenced by Buddhism and Chinese religions and provides a worldview that has become central to Japanese culture and national identity. Shinto recognizes no all-powerful deity and is a diverse set of traditional rituals and ceremonies, rather than a system of dogmatic beliefs or ethics. The kami are the powers of nature primarily associated with such things as animals, trees, mountains, springs, boulders, the sun, and so forth. They also sometimes include the earliest ancestors of the Japanese, as well as the souls of the dead, and are revered in matsuri, or celebrations that seek to ensure continued order in the cosmos. Offerings such as fish, rice and vegetables are presented to the kami and later eaten. Music, dancing, and praise are also offered, and Shinto priests bless all with the branch of the sacred sakaki tree dipped in holy water. Another, shamanistic type of Shinto ritual exists in rural areas, in which miko (women shamans) speak for the kami by falling into a trance.
Main Sacred Text: Shinto has no comprehensive canon of scripture. No written Shinto documents survive from before the seventh century. But a written Shinto mythology appears in the early sections of the eighth-century books "Kojiki" ("Records of Ancient Matters," completed in 712 C.E.) and "Nihon Shoki" ("Chronicles of Japan," completed in 720 C.E.), which record the role of the kami in creating Japan and the Japanese imperial lineage. The divine pair Izanagi and Izanami brought forth Amaterasu, the sun goddess and ancestress of the Japanese emperor (hence the sun on the Japanese flag).
Principal Center: Shinto shrines can be found in groves of trees all over Japan. All the shrines have sacred gates (torii) and often contain water for symbolic purification of hands and mouth; larger shrines have main halls, buildings for offerings, and oratories. Inside the main hall resides the goshintai (god-body), which is sometimes represented by a mirror, but more often nothing at all. The classic Shinto shrine is the world-renowned Ise Shrine, the primary cult site for Amaterasu, arguably the most important kami.

COEUR d'ALENE - The election is off.
Coeur d'Alene City Councilman Steve Adams said he will withdraw his pledge to appeal a judge's ruling that green-lights major upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant, meaning the city will secure roughly $33.5 million for the project through a judicial confirmation after all.
It also means the May 21 election will be called off.
Adams said Tuesday evening he was satisfied with 1st District Judge John Luster's decision issued hours before the City Council meeting that declared the project was "ordinary and necessary," and voter approval to secure the debt obligation wasn't required.
"As a result of Judge Luster's well-reasoned opinion, I believe that the interest of those of us who want to see the Idaho Constitution upheld have been met and satisfied," Adams said, reading from a statement. "Therefore I will not be pursuing an appeal of this decision and I fully support moving ahead without an election."
Luster's decision said that public safety and compliance requirements on the federally-mandated upgrades made the project necessary. The judge's ruling didn't weigh economic interests for the city, such as the lower interest rates available to the city through an Idaho Department of Environmental Quality loan. Rather, it addressed the project on a whole.
"The maintenance of public works, legal obligations, and the preservation of public health and safety are all expenses that Idaho courts have held constitute ordinary and necessary expenses," the judge wrote.
By not taking into account what funding options would be less expensive for the city, Adams said he was satisfied that the ruling followed the letter of the law.
"It has been my position all along, which I've been verbally criticized by council members and others for, that weighing economic considerations has no place in a judicial analysis on a question of Constitutionality of proceeding without election," Adams said.
The judicial confirmation allows the city to secure the money without voter approval.
The City Council, including Adams, originally voted to seek the confirmation, but then Adams changed his mind and said he preferred a vote to secure the debt, as the Constitution outlines on projects that aren't "ordinary and necessary."
Adams had pledged to appeal the judge's decision, which could have tied the issue up in court. To avoid the possible delay, the city sought to put the issue to an election because deadlines - and possible non-compliant fines - between the city, state and federal government loomed.
The change of stance led to several verbal dustups between Adams, the rest of the council and City Attorney Mike Gridley. The election route was pegged to cost the city more, as fees and interest rates on the open market would be higher than the low-interest rate the city had lined up through IDEQ. The city pegged a $36 million bond through an election.
But Adams said Luster's ruling didn't take financing into account when saying it was legal to skip the voters in this instance, so the councilman withdrew his appeal pledge.
The city will hold a special call meeting by Friday to put Adams' pledge not to appeal in writing. Because Adams was the only party to object to the confirmation in court, he is the only one who can appeal the decision, Gridley said. Friday is also the deadline to notify Kootenai County the city will not have an election.
"Thank you Steve," Councilman Mike Kennedy told Adams. "I think that's a stand-up thing to do and appropriate."

Laser advertising is a new form of advertising that has recently attracted particular interest in people. It is believed that such advertising provides maximum attention of potential customers. Against the background of the laser beams slogan or company logo looks particularly impressive. Quite often, as advertising spend their laser show. Typically, they are held in night clubs and at parties . Throughout the show infomercial company is projected on a special screen or any other surface . As practice shows , advertising any product , carried out by a laser show, is remembered for a long time and provides a lot of positive emotions. Increasingly, laser equipment is used in the advertising industry.
Among the advantages of laser systems can be distinguished . In - First, these systems are characterized by mobility. The need to mount the screen is missing . In - the second , the size of the projected image can be adjusted , depending on the design features of the terrain or the facade of the building. Projectors are used for laser show, a number of reasons not suitable for laser points advertising equipment . The fact is that these devices do not have the necessary speed display and radiative power. In addition, many believe that the high cost of laser equipment for the show is justified. Fixed installations for advertising and equipment for laser shows are directed to perform different tasks.
Laser projector for outdoor advertising , as a rule, have a higher capacity than the setting for dance clubs, and at the same time, the former have a higher price. Structurally, disco lasers such as lasers and for advertising. Laser systems for discotheques used in enclosed spaces , thus ensuring the normal brightness.
Lasers for commercial use in open spaces to produce images on buildings, homes, sloping roofs and billboards. In order to adjust the brightness was higher plant must be equipped with a high power laser (not less than 300 mW green laser is not less than 2 watts RGB lasers). When laser should consider the color of the surface on which the image is located. The lighter the surface, the image will be brighter.
It is also worth noting that the use of laser projectors have temperature limitations. At temperatures below 10 degrees the device does not turn on, and at +40 degrees is electronically protection, which also turns off the projector . By installing such equipment in the street , you can use sealed boxes, in which are embedded heating elements and electronic temperature control . Such systems typically are not cheap . Many owners of the laser systems have resorted to the next trick. In cold weather, they set the laser projector indoors, the image is projected through the glass. In order to avoid loss of optical power, you should regularly monitor the cleanliness of the glass.
Consultation on the application of laser equipment is desirable to obtain from experts.

Saipem is “committed to working” with local firms on a new giant Scottish wind project, its North Sea boss has said.
Paolo Formica, the Italian oil and gas contractor’s offshore area manager for the North Sea, claimed his firm is open to collaboration and will rely on the “experience” of those already operating in the area.
Saipem were announced yesterday as the main contractor on EDF’s planned £2 billion Neart Na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind Farm off the east coast of Scotland.
Mr Formica described it as a “unique opportunity” for his company to fully establish itself in the UK offshore wind sector.
Saipem will provide engineering, procurement, construction and installation of 54 steel foundation jackets in a deal understood to be worth upwards of £350 million.
Local companies such as Burntisland Fabrication (BiFab), the Port of Dundee and Eyemouth Harbour have been brought in as sub-contractors.
Mr Formica said: “We are very excited to be part of the NnG wind farm project.
“It is a unique opportunity for us to further establish ourselves as a reliable partner in such a complex and large offshore wind project, not only in the UK, which is one of the most dynamic markets for these kind of developments, but also worldwide.
“We are looking forward to working with EDF, applying our unique delivery model which combines strong in-house engineering and design capabilities with distinctive execution skills.
“In doing so, we are committed to working and collaborating with local partners, relying on their competencies and experience in the area”.
Saipem worked on Equinor’s Hywind Scotland project in 2017, for which it lifted and installed the floating turbines using its huge Saipem 7000 crane vessel.
The Saipem 7000 will also work on the NnG project.
Mr Formica told Energy Voice last month that offshore wind was a “key market” for Saipem, with the UK North Sea “the most promising” market.
He added that Saipem will “harness” the skills of a local supply chain in Scotland to succeed.

This week, three Israelis were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist outside Jerusalem. Israelis are still waiting for the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, to condemn the terrorist attack, as they have been waiting for his condemnations for hundreds of other Palestinian terrorist attacks.
For many years, U.S. government, the West, and the media have chosen to play a preposterous game of honoring and negotiating with Mahmoud Abbas as if he is a new, credible, and reasonable Palestinian leader with whom Israel and the West could trust to at last bring peace. It seems that President Trump has convinced himself to join this game by believing that he is the one who can broker an Israeli- Palestinian peace deal.
During a joint press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, last week, President Trump said, “We are going to discuss peace between Israel and the Palestinians; it will be a fantastic achievement,” and “We are giving it absolute go – there is a good chance it could happen. Most people would say there is no chance whatsoever, but I think that with the ability of Bibi and the other side – I really think we have a chance.”
As an Israeli, who has been hoping for peace for the last 50 years, I want to restate with 100 percent certainty that there is zero chance for any peace deal with the Palestinians since their leader, President Mahmoud Abbas, has walked away from previous peace deals offered by different Israeli governments under the sponsorship of different American presidents.
Abbas was second in command to Arafat, when the Palestinian Authority (PA) rejected Israeli Prime Minister Barak’s offer of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as a capital in the year 2000 and through the subsequent 5 years of Arafat’s war of terror against Israel which killed over 1,000 Israelis from 2000 to 2005.
After the death of Arafat in 2004, Abbas became the chairman of the Fatah branch of the PLO and as President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), he again rejected another offer of peace made this time by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in 2008, which would have allowed the Palestinians to coexist with Israel as an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. After many denials, in November 2015, Abbas admitted in a TV interview that he declined Olmert’s peace offer which included near total withdrawal from the West Bank and the relinquishing of Israeli control of Jerusalem’s Old City.
In the spring of 2014, after 9 months of negotiations and an Israeli settlement freeze, Abbas refused to respond to a proposed framework for a peace agreement offered by President Obama, which granted them a state based on the 1967 borders, and chose instead to form a unity government with the terrorist group Hamas, which 2 months later coordinated the kidnapping and murder of 3 Israeli teenagers and instigated another war in Gaza with Israel.
As a great negotiator, President Trump should be aware that appeasing and honoring Abbas will simply encourage him to further bad behavior. Last Wednesday Trump honored Abbas again by meeting him for the third time in the last 8 months on the side lines of the UN General Assembly while Abbas was telling him that that a peace deal can be reached this year, or in the coming months, adding that President Trump’s commitment to the issue would help create “the deal of the century."
But a few hours after the meeting Mahmoud Abbas gave an angry anti- Israel speech full of hate, and historical lies, inciting for a boycott and sanctions against the Jewish state while again glorifying martyrdom on the podium of the General Assembly.
Abbas furiously attacked American and Israeli efforts to end discrimination against the Jewish State at the UN, calling on the Human Rights Council to retain its notorious permanent Agenda Item Seven, which focuses exclusively on alleged Israeli transgressions.
Continually accusing Israel of practicing apartheid, Abbas called for a boycott of the country and an international onslaught similar to the international community’s approach to the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Abbas restated his commitment to the Palestinian so called "right of return," which would allow millions of Arab Palestinians to enter inside Israel, which is regarded by most Israelis as code words for the destruction of the Jewish State. He also glorified the convicted terrorists who killed Jews, Israelis, and Americans who along with their families get compensated by the PA with monthly payments by saying, “I salute our glorious martyrs and courageous prisoners in Israeli jails, and I tell them all that freedom is coming and that the occupation shall come to an end. “
If after listening to the Abbas speech, Trump still is buying the idea that there is still chance for peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis, maybe as the old saying goes, I can sell him the Brooklyn Bridge as well.

Not everyone believed the chaos it could create, it seemed so impossible. straight after Lise Meitner crashed together the atoms, Prof. Fermi admitted he knew about atomic objects and that he had created atomic bullets before (2).

Only true Westerners and fashion models dress as confidently as Barbara Samuel, in a black suede jacket with carved silver concha buttons. A third generation southern Coloradan with more than 25 books published either under her romance novelist pseudonym (Ruth Wind) or in her own name, Samuel remains planted in the land that raised her, living the writer's life in a turn-of-the-century house in Pueblo.
"I write romances and I write women's fiction," said Samuel in a recent interview. "They are two very different things."
Samuel's most recent book, Lady Luck's Map of Vegas, published by Ballantine, falls into the latter category, exploring the dynamics of mother, daughter, sister and lover through the eyes of India, a 40-year-old successful single woman who leaves her apartment and her friends in Denver to return to Colorado Springs. India has promised Don, her recently deceased father, that she will look after Eldora, her glamorous and eccentric mother.
"Eldora is over the top a little bit, but I really love her," said Samuel of the vibrant redhead who drives a turquoise 1957 Thunderbird, drinks too much bourbon and convinces her daughter, India, to set off on a road trip with her down Route 66 through New Mexico to Las Vegas. Along the way, mother and daughter search for Grace, India's twin who suffers from schizophrenia and disappears periodically, but is also a talented artist.
Eldora, says Samuel, was inspired by an aunt who worked for many years at the MGM Grand in Vegas. "It was kind of exciting and glamorous to me as a kid," she said. "Eldora made me feel free when I wrote her." As the story progresses, the readers discovers that Eldora has secrets in her past that she will eventually reveal to India, risking everything but knowing that it's worth the risk to come clean.
"A lot of women have lots of things they're not really proud of in their lives," said Samuel, "but they're still living their lives and moving on and making the best of it. Eldora is one of them."
Strong female protagonists come naturally to Samuel. In her previous novel, The Goddesses of Kitchen Avenue, set in Pueblo, one of the main characters, Jade, is a woman caring for her aging grandmother while training to be a boxer.
"They just walk onscreen when it's their turn," said Samuel when asked how she finds her characters.
Also key to her fiction is a specific locale -- the New Mexico plateau from Santa Fe to Colorado Springs, Samuel's lifelong stomping ground. Lady Luck's Map of Vegas captures the Pleasant Valley neighborhood of Colorado Springs, next to Garden of the Gods, and naturally, Pikes Peak at sunset.
"Place is always another character to me," said Samuel, who attended Doherty and Wasson High Schools in the Springs, explaining that locale also influences how she develops her characters. "Women in the West are very different than women on the East Coast or women in the South. I think it would be hard [for me] to speak authentically about any other landscape."
Winner of numerous awards, including the 2004 Colorado Book Award, Samuel is currently at work on a novel set in Manitou Springs, about a woman adjusting to divorce by learning to make perfume. She will sign Lady Lucks's Map of Vegas at two different locations in the upcoming week.
