A shot from our trip to Nantucket in August 2011. The guidebook advertised this lighthouse as perched precariously on the cliff edge. ‘Photo op!’, thought I and dragged the family out there only to find that it had been moved! It is now situated in some fairly uninspiring and very safe scrub. At least the sky was interesting enough to make it worth converting this shot to black and white, pushing the blues towards black and the vegetation towards white to create a pseudo-infrared effect.
Loving the dramatic sky. The lighthouse leads the eyes up to the sky beautifully.
Thanks, Jain. How much nicer it would have been with some crashing surf!
How tacky to go and move the lighthouse! Still you did a good job of making it appear “authentic” as a lighthouse ought to be.
Thanks. I tried very hard 😉
Darn! The photo does have a bit of the eerie IR feel. I like it.
Thanks, Sid. I am tempted to have my old 400D converted to infrared. I keep dithering…
Thank you 🙂
Lovely, Rachael, and such great texture – from the vegetation to those clouds!
Thanks, Tricia. Perhaps it was worth the trip after all.

Objective To test a multidisciplinary approach to reduce heart failure (HF) readmissions that tailors the intensity of care transition intervention to the risk of the patient using a suite of electronic medical record (EMR)-enabled programmes. Methods A prospective controlled before and after study of adult inpatients admitted with HF and two concurrent control conditions (acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and pneumonia (PNA)) was performed between 1 December 2008 and 1 December 2010 at a large urban public teaching hospital. An EMR-based software platform stratified all patients admitted with HF on a daily basis by their 30-day readmission risk using a published electronic predictive model. Patients at highest risk received an intensive set of evidence-based interventions designed to reduce readmission using existing resources. The main outcome measure was readmission for any cause and to any hospital within 30 days of discharge. Results There were 834 HF admissions in the pre-intervention period and 913 in the postintervention period. The unadjusted readmission rate declined from 26.2% in the pre-intervention period to 21.2% in the post-intervention period (p=0.01), a decline that persisted in adjusted analyses (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.73; 95% CI 0.58 to 0.93, p=0.01). In contrast, there was no significant change in the unadjusted and adjusted readmission rates for PNA and AMI over the same period. There were 45 fewer readmissions with 913 patients enrolled and 228 patients receiving intervention, resulting in a number needed to treat (NNT) ratio of 20. Conclusions An EMR-enabled strategy that targeted scarce care transition resources to high-risk HF patients significantly reduced the risk-Adjusted odds of readmission.

Clinical rehabilitation. 2003 Mar; 17(2): 206-8.
The study objective was to assess the concurrent validity of the Electronic Descriptive Pain Scale (EDPS), a pain scale built into a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device. One hundred patients in an outpatient physiotherapy (PT) clinic participated (mean age 41.30 years, SD 13.95). Before and after a PT treatment, subjects rated their current pain intensity with the EDPS, a visual analogue scale, a numerical pain rating scale, and the McGill Pain Questionnaire's Present Pain Intensity. The results showed relatively high significant correlations between the EDPS and each of the other pain scales.

Workplace injury is not an uncommon occurrence in Pennsylvania, though some industries involve greater risk than others. When it comes to industrial sites and facilities, such as nuclear power plants, the risk of injury is certainly greater than it is in an office environment.
Back in October, a security guard at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station suffered serious injuries on a 75-foot-tall security watchtower. Exactly what happened, as well the nature of the injuries and the plant’s response, are in dispute. By the accident victim’s own account, he was knocked unconscious when a tower wall collapse and left for about five hours until he was able to be rescued by somebody trained to remove him from the tower.
The accident left the security guard with severe injuries which required 36 hours of hospitalization. Under federal law, companies are required to keeps records of workplace injuries which result in death, medical treatment exceeding first aid, or loss of consciousness. Accidents which result in significant injuries or illnesses diagnosed by a doctor or other health care professional, even when they don’t result in death, time off of work, loss of consciousness, medical treatment exceeding first aid, work restriction or job transfer, must also be recorded. Accidents which result in death must be reported to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration within eight hours of their occurrence.
For nuclear power plants, there is also a federal requirement that incidents involving radiation exposure and contamination are reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the agency which regulates nuclear plants in the United States. Injuries at nuclear power plants which do not involve contamination or exposure do not have to be reported to the commission, which is what seems to be the case in this incident.
Failure to keep accurate records and to report to OSHA can result in penalties for companies. , and injured workers should be aware of whether or not their employer is in compliance with these laws.

NASA awards $177M to Colorado State University for first-of-its-kind INCUS weather satellites
Soon Americans could have a view of severe storms through technology never created before, thanks in part to researchers at Colorado State University. NASA recently awarded $177 million to CSU's Department of Atmospheric Sciences to develop the INCUS program, a system of satellites that will give researchers a 3D view of evolving storms from space.
"INCUS has a lot of impacts on the everyday Coloradan," said Kristen Rasmussen, Associate Professor at CSU and co-investigator for INCUS.
Rasmussen is among many at CSU who are working on the project. INCUS stands for "Investigation of Convertible Updraft." In short, the series of three satellites being developed with partners in Colorado will scan storms from space to determine their volume.
"The goal of INCUS is to study how air and water move up in a global context," Rasmussen told CBS News Colorado's Dillon Thomas.
Currently, many weather researchers, forecasters and climatologists rely on weather radars anchored into the ground to understand much about storms. Satellites in space, as of now, can send back imaging of the storms. However, none of the satellites in space are capable of scanning the volume of the storms and sending back those results live back to Earth as the storms evolve.
"(Current) radars just get one snapshot. We see one particular slice of a storm and we don't have any information about the motion," Rasmussen said. "A lot of our models overestimate the intensity of convective systems because we don't have a lot of these estimates."
Once launched and in orbit, expected in October of 2026, INCUS satellites are planned to scan storms for at least two years. Two of the satellites will be positioned 30 seconds apart from each other while the final satellite will be 90 seconds behind the second satellite. By spacing them out in such a manner the images and data sent back to earth will be able to show vigorous strong motions and broader weaker motions in succession, Rasmussen said.
Seventy different experts from CSU, NASA's Jet Propulsions Laboratory and other networks are working on the project.
CSU's Susan van der Heever is also working on INCUS and has been recognized as the first woman to lead a NASA Earth Venture Mission.
Rasmussen said she was confident the research and work being done in Fort Collins at CSU will help Americans see and understand severe storms like never before.
"Severe weather, really vigorous and severe storms, produce hail tornadoes and flash flooding. All of these pieces rely on us understanding how much of that air and water is moving up in the atmosphere. We currently have no measurements of that from space," Rasmussen said. "This will be the first time we have quantitative measurements of this movement of air from space."

35 years after inception, Tejas Mark I design frozen
Thirty-five years after the inception of India’s light combat aircraft programme, the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has finally frozen the design of the Tejas Mark I defence fighter with aircraft drawings submitted on December 31 and the certificate of combat readiness obtained from the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC) under the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO).
In an interview, Girish Deodhare, director, combat aircraft and ADA, said that the first Tejas in the final operational configuration (FOC) will be delivered to the Indian Air Force (IAF) in September with another 15 fighters to be delivered in the following 20 months. The deliveries will be much faster with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) deciding to outsource aircraft sub-assemblies to private companies such as Larsen & Toubro.
The FOC Tejas will have air-to-air refueling capability, beyond visual range Israeli Derby missiles, high angle attack expansion with a capability to match the best fighters in its light weight class in the 4 to 4.5 generation category.
From the initial order of 40 fighters from IAF, Deodhare said state-owned HAL, Bengaluru had delivered 12 fighters in combat-ready initial operational configuration (IOC) with the next four fighters to be delivered next month. The eight remaining aircraft will be in two-seater trainer configuration, which will follow the FOC fighters and also be fitted with air to air refuellers.
The IAF order under negotiation for 83 more platforms will be Tejas Mark IA, which will be fitted with state-of-the-art active electronically scanned array radar developed indigenously or ELTA, Israel, in a tie-up with HAL. ADA, Deodhare disclosed, is already testing an indigenously developed AESA radar with Tejas Mark I.
Deodhare conceded that there have been delays in the Tejas programme due to optimistic projections of time by its designers, developers and producers, and added that Tejas Mark II will be a twin-engine advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA) with a heavier GE-414 engine as compared to the GE 404 engine of the Mark I. The twin-engine fighter will also have a naval variant. The development of the Mark II has already received a green signal from the defence minister and is set to go before the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) for full financial approval of development costs.
Even though the FOC Tejas will come with some deviations from the air staff qualitative requirements, 1985, the fighter will not loose any of its fighting capability and will optimally perform its duties of defending air bases under attack and Indian borders. While the turnaround time of Tejas Mark I is high as the designers focused on the development of the aircraft primarily, with only the secondary focus on maintenance and repairs, HT learns that IAF has finally been handed over initial documentation (the manual) of the fighter with the upgraded and complete documentation ready in the next two to three months. The force needs this manual for training and operating purposes.

I came across Claire de Lune while browsing through the local Barnes and Noble store, with a gift card in my pocket. It looked like an interesting read and I loved the cover, so I bought it. It tells the story of Allen Liles, a young woman who takes a post as an assistant professor at a community college in the pre-WWII years of the 1940’s. Allen is a gifted English teacher, but she is young and yearns to be free of the conventions of her time and not stuck in rural Missouri with few prospects for excitement and variety. Allen feels stifled by her colleagues and the upcoming nuptials of one of the other English teachers. Then she befriends two of her students, the outgoing and carefree George, and the brooding and captivating Toby. The boundary between student and teacher is broken, and Allen seeks to keep their friendship a secret. In time, though, tongues wag, and all Allen holds dear is put into jeopardy.
I really enjoyed reading this novel, which is published posthumously, fifty years after Ms. Carleton’s previous bestseller, The Moonflower Vine. Carleton writes of another era – a time when college professors kept strict boundaries between themselves and their students and when a woman’s reputation could make or break her both professionally and personally. Through the events of this novel, Allen is forced to mature both personally and professionally, and struggles with the conflicting emotions of what she wants versus what she needs to do to keep her job and reputation. It’s a coming of age story, but coming of age in young adulthood. Allen struggles to let go of her dreams and ambitions and following her heart in order to fit into society and to be a productive adult. Where does one draw the line?
Another reason I liked this book was Carleton’s writing. Her prose is so vivid and rich. Her descriptions of the nights when Allen was off running through the parks with George and Toby captured the sense of ripeness of a spring evening – the sense of fullness about to burst into full bloom – the awakening of inner feelings. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a bit, too, of Romeo and Juliet – where all the good things happen at night and the bad things during the day until the final resolution.
All in all, a good read – but not for the reader who is rooted in today’s typical fiction. This isn’t a girl meets boy and then they have an affair story. (In fact, Allen and Toby’s relationship never progresses to that point). It’s a reflection on the choices one makes when one is on the threshold of adulthood, told in a time period when society was much different than it is today.

This sounds lovely. Clair du Lune is one of my favourite pieces of music, so the title caught my eye straight away.
It’s one of my favorites, too!!

GOVERNOR URGES CONGRESS TO REJECT PLAN TO ALMOST TRIPLE IDAHO WILDERNESS
Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter is urging Congress to reject yet another sweeping attempt by singer/activist Carole King and her supporters to lock up about 9 million more acres of Idaho in wilderness - almost tripling the amount of Idaho acreage withdrawn from multiple use.
In a letter to Congressman Nick Rahall of West Virginia, chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources, and Congressman Doc Hastings of Washington, the committee's ranking Republican, the Governor called the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA) "a radical wilderness bill of unprecedented scale that will have disastrous consequences for Idaho and the West."
NREPA, H.R. 980, sponsored by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of New York, would be the second-largest wilderness expansion in U.S. history. It would impose wilderness restrictions on the use of almost 24 million acres across Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington. In addition to Wilderness Study Areas - essentially de facto wilderness where multiple-use is strictly prohibited - Idaho now has 12 designated wilderness areas totaling 4,522,779 acres, so NREPA would almost triple the state's official wilderness acreage.
"The lands that would be designated under NREPA include highly valuable recreation lands critical to Idaho's economic vitality. With the decline of our forest products industries, Idaho communities have had to turn to recreation and tourism as a major source of income," Governor Otter wrote in the May 1 letter. "If NREPA became law, motorized and mechanized recreation - a major component of Idaho's recreation mix - would be prohibited over much of the land base where it takes place today."
The Governor also cited the stark contrast between NREPA and the collaborative process used by Senator Mike Crapo and others in recently winning approval of legislation to designate wilderness in southwestern Idaho's Owyhee Canyonlands. In addition, he wrote, forest health issues plague many of the lands under NREPA.
"Wilderness designation would make natural wildfires impossible to manage and contain within them," he wrote. "The effects of wildfire smoke on Idaho's air quality and the deleterious effects on local communities' watersheds and drinking water in the summer months would turn an increasingly serious problem into a full-fledged disaster."

Condom manufacturer Durex issued a Canada-wide recall after some of their products failed to pass the company’s “stringent shelf-life durability tests.”
The affected products are from batches of Durex’s Real Free Extra Lubricated 10ct condoms (product code 1000443254) and Real Free 20ct condoms (product code 1000356816) that were manufactured in 2017.
The company says that there is no immediate safety concern for consumers, and the recall is being issued over concerns of the condoms’ registered burst pressure specification towards the end of the product’s shelf-life.
“We are working closely with the Health Canada and have decided to recall affected batches,” said Durex in their product recall.
Those who have purchased a recalled product should be able to return the unused items from wherever they bought it from for a full refund.
To check if a product you own may be affected, you can check for the product codes at the bottom of the box, or on the foil wrapping of each condom.
Further information on the company’s recall can be found on Durex’s website here.


I recently got a Homelite 16" chain saw by John Deere. It works well, but it
puts out so much bar & chain oil, that it virtually drips off of the chain when
it is stopped. If I let it idle, it will drip about a drop of oil every 10-15
seconds. Is this a normal amount ??? Is it adjustable ??? It makes a mess !!!
=======================================================Remove the ZZZ from my E-mail address to send me E-mail.
The older ones were - an old Norelco saw of mine had a meter screw right where
the bar mounted to the engine. Not so sure about the newer consumer models. I
have a 4 year old McCullough 50cc that isn't adjustable.
Nice feature - but the consumer models I've seen aren't that well engineered.
It doesn't have "tack" stuff added to it for one thing and doesn't
stick to the bar/chain. If it is so "clean" why change it? To say
thee is something wrong with your logic is a gross understatement.
Actually clean has nothing to do with it. The molecule chains break
down, that's why you change it.
My mac oiler is adjustable but can't say I ever have. It tends to be
on the light side as far as amount but I give it a pump or 2 every
once in a while.
Gear oil is a sticky oil, motor oil is a different thing not made to
stock, there is an actual additive to make chain oil sticky, id say if
it doesnt bother you by dripping out oil fast and run out old motor
oil is fine
The trouble with all you text book mechanics is that used motor oil has
been used for decades by lumberjacks without any problems. These mystic
beliefs propogated by the sellers of "Special" stuff suck you in.
If I wasn't me I wouldn't like me either.
Signature file not found
I have never bought chainsaw oil. First time my first saw needed it I
was in a jamb so I used gear oil. Since that I always used drain oil.
If I get some drain gear oil, I mix it with the used engine oil to make
it a little thicker. The plastic case the saw is stored in was full of
oil when I bought the thing (it was a return sold half price) and that
was real chain oil. I just put a rag in the bottom and now and then
change the rag. The greasy rag normally goes in a trash fire, smokes
like hell but they say the air is easier to clean then the groundwater.
It does? I thought it was between the crankshaft and the various
bearings, put there under pressure from the oil pump. No significant
amount of oil will just stick to the crankshaft, and even if it did,
what would be the point? To oil it where it has no friction?
Motor oil will drip and spit out the chain in no time, it doesnt have
the"sticky stuff" additive so it wont sling off the blade, motor oil
will be drained before you know it, then you can ruin the chain if you
forget to check the tank.
New or used motor oil should work just fine if you add some STP to the
mix. That may well be the main additive in bar oil anyhow. I think I
will try it on the next tree removal project that comes up.
I put anything that's handy in my bar oiler. Maybe if you run your
saw everyday for a living the difference might amount to something but
for the average diy'r it doesn't. And my saw is 30 years old. I'm on
my second bar, already flipped, but I don't have a clue about number
of chains. I can say that when I put a new chain on it it's because
there is not enough left of the teeth to sharpen it any more. I am
about due for bar number 3.

For several basketball fans, jerseys are an appropriate way to support the players and teams they often see on TV. Basketball jerseys rock beautiful designs, and possess quality fabric.
Nevertheless, jerseys are quite costly, and they certainly are not going down in price. If you are the type that likes to purchase a couple of jerseys every season, the new designs will be sure to snatch hundreds of dollars from your account. Like financial management when engaging in points spread betting, there is a way to get the best out of your money when purchasing jerseys.
Reducing expenses has always been a priority in any hobby or passion. While some basketball enthusiasts purchase fake jerseys, this reduces the quality and causes adverse financial implications for the club you support.
This article will explore different ways to buy NBA jerseys at an inexpensive price.
Retailers remain the most secure and dependable way to purchase basketball jerseys. Since they possess official licenses from producers to sell NBA jerseys, you can rest assured that you are being sold the authentic versions.
If you experience any problem with the jerseys sold, you will be able to either get a refund or a replacement. Nevertheless, even though most jerseys from retailers are slapped with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price, you can get them below retail.
Clearance sections by retailers offer huge discounts, and they can occur at different points throughout the year. The catch however, is that you may not get the suitable size selection since they are usually for players who have transferred to a different team. You also have to be on alert when these sales are happening since others would want to get their hands on the jerseys as well.
Thrift stores have always been the final destination for buyers with budgets. These types of stores feature considerably lower prices. However, the problem is that jerseys like these can be somewhat worn out or even fake.
If you are visiting a thrift store, you have to make sure you are getting the original. If you want to find the so-called diamond in the dirt, you will have to make frequent visits to the thrift store.
Local marketplaces are one of the best places to find cheap and authentic jerseys. When you can narrow down the jersey sellers to your region, you get many choices. Sellers on marketplaces are typically looking to offload their possessions for lower prices, so you can always get a good deal.
Nonetheless, you have to look out for scammers and ghost sellers. If you have to meet the seller at a location, ensure you take safety precautions.
Purchasing NBA jerseys can sometimes become costly, and buyers are generally looking to cut costs. Instead of purchasing fake jerseys, you can use certain methods to buy quality jerseys at inexpensive prices.

Artists illustration of a pulsar. Credit: Carl Knox, OzGrav-Swinburne University
Astrophysicists predict that these brief bursts of brightness take place because thick regions of interstellar plasma (the hot gas in between stars) scatter the radio waves given off by the pulsar. A promising opportunity for this is in the scintillation, or “twinkling,” of pulsars.
When a pulsars radio waves are spread by the interstellar plasma, the separate waves produce an interference and interfere pattern on the Earth. The scattering and twinkling happens in little regions of the plasma thanks to the point-like nature of pulsar signals.
The pulsars trajectory still hasnt been identified as it orbits another compact star called a white dwarf in a face-on orbit, and astronomers do not have alternative approaches to determine it in this circumstance. Scintillation arcs serve a double function: their curvatures are associated to the pulsars speed, as well as the distance to the plasma and the pulsar. How the pulsars velocity modifications as it orbits depends on the orbits orientation in space.
Astrophysicists forecast that these short bursts of brightness occur because dense regions of interstellar plasma (the hot gas between stars) spread the radio waves produced by the pulsar. When a pulsars radio waves are spread by the interstellar plasma, the separate waves interfere and develop an interference pattern on the Earth. The scattering and twinkling happens in little areas of the plasma thanks to the point-like nature of pulsar signals. Scintillation arcs serve a double purpose: their curvatures are related to the pulsars velocity, as well as the distance to the plasma and the pulsar. The question, for that reason, stays open: what is the source of the plasma that spreads the pulsars radiation?
The measurements we acquired for the orbit of pulsar J1603-7202 are a significant enhancement compared to previous analyses. We determined the range to the plasma and showed that it was about three-quarters of the distance to the pulsar, from Earth. The question, for that reason, stays open: what is the source of the plasma that scatters the pulsars radiation?
Lastly, utilizing our orbit measurement, we are able to estimate the mass of J1603-7202s orbital buddy. It was determined to be about half the mass of the Sun. When thought about alongside the highly circular orbit of J160-7202, this implies the companion is likely a stellar remnant made up of carbon and oxygen– a rarer discover around a pulsar than the more typical helium-based remnants.
As we now possess a near-complete model of the orbit, its currently possible to change scintillation observations of J1603-7202 into on-sky spread images and map the interstellar plasma at Solar System scales. Developing pictures of the physical structures that trigger severe scattering of radio waves might provide us a better understanding of how such thick areas form and of the function the interstellar plasma plays in the advancement of galaxies.

The European head of Airbnb has hit back at claims that the home-letting service is driving up rents and worsening London’s housing crisis.
Managing director Olivier Gremillon said: “There have been a few studies done by academics which said no, it doesn’t really increase the price of housing.
"There is a housing shortage in London but is it because of Airbnb? No. There are a lot of other reasons why prices are high.”
Mr Gremillon said the company regularly checks regional data to see if Airbnb is having an effect on local economies, and added: “If there is, we try to address it.”
Earlier this month, the chairman of the Commons Business Committee, Iain Wright, wrote to Mayor Sadiq Khan highlighting the negative consequences of temporary lettings operations run by the likes of Airbnb, including its potential to drive up rents.
Mr Wright also said that “many landlords appear to be operating illegally” by letting properties for more than 90 days per year — after which they would require a special permit.
The British Hospitality Association, representing hotels, said it was concerned that landlords were gaining an uncompetitive advantage thanks to Airbnb, which helped them circumvent tax, food and health and safety regulations.
Mr Gremillon said he was not surprised competitors were raising concerns in light of the company’s fast expansion across the UK, and said Airbnb was holding talks with London councils about them.
But he added: “I don’t think regulation will be tightened.” Airbnb guest arrivals rose 85 per cent to 1.6 million across the UK between June to August.Reuse content

As an avid user of Instagram, I have always been fascinated by the allure and intrigue that surrounds the world of social media. But lurking beneath the glossy filters and carefully curated feeds lies a darker side – the realm of Instagram stalkers. In this article, I will delve deep into the secrets of these virtual voyeurs, shedding light on their motivations, their methods, and the consequences of their actions.
To truly comprehend the phenomenon of Instagram stalking, it is essential to understand the psychological factors that drive individuals to engage in such behavior. One of the key motives is the desire for information and validation. People often stalk others on Instagram to gather insights into their lives, to compare themselves, or to seek reassurance about their own worth. Additionally, the human tendency to be curious and inquisitive plays a significant role in fueling this behavior.
As unsettling as it may sound, it is possible to determine if someone is stalking your Instagram profile. While Instagram does not provide an official feature to track stalkers, there are certain indicators that can serve as red flags. Firstly, pay attention to the order of your story viewers. If you consistently notice the same person at the top of the list, it could be a sign that they are frequently viewing your stories. Another clue is an increase in engagement from a particular individual, such as liking or commenting on old posts. Lastly, the appearance of a new follower who seems to have an uncanny knowledge of your recent activities may suggest that they have been stalking your profile.
Instagram stalking may seem harmless, but it can have severe repercussions for both the stalker and the victim. For the stalker, their obsession can consume their time and energy, leading to deteriorating mental health and strained relationships. In extreme cases, it can escalate into real-life stalking or harassment. On the other hand, the victim may experience feelings of invasion of privacy, fear, and anxiety. Their online presence may be manipulated or used against them, compromising their personal and professional lives.
While it is impossible to completely eradicate the presence of Instagram stalkers, there are steps you can take to protect yourself. Firstly, review your privacy settings and ensure that your account is set to private. This will limit access to your posts and stories to only approved followers. Additionally, be cautious about accepting friend requests or following unfamiliar accounts. Regularly monitor your follower list and remove any suspicious or unwanted followers. Lastly, refrain from sharing sensitive or personal information that can be exploited by stalkers.
If you find yourself being targeted by an Instagram stalker, it is crucial to take action to protect yourself and maintain your peace of mind. The first step is to block the individual from your account, preventing them from accessing your content. It is also advisable to report their behavior to Instagram, providing any evidence or screenshots that can substantiate your claims. If the stalking persists or escalates, consider involving law enforcement to ensure your safety.
Instagram acknowledges the issue of stalking on its platform and has implemented several measures to combat this problem. The platform has introduced features such as "Restrict," which allows users to limit the interactions of potential stalkers without them knowing. Moreover, Instagram has increased its efforts to educate users about online safety, providing resources and guidelines on how to deal with stalking and harassment.
There are several misconceptions surrounding Instagram stalking that need to be dispelled. One prevalent myth is that if you stalk someone on Instagram, you will be suggested to them as a follower. In reality, Instagram's algorithm does not work in such a way. Another misconception is that only strangers engage in stalking behavior. However, studies have shown that a significant portion of stalkers are acquaintances or even former partners.
It is crucial to recognize that Instagram stalking is not only a breach of privacy but can also have legal consequences. Depending on the severity of the stalking behavior, it can be classified as harassment, cyberbullying, or even stalking in the real world. Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but it is essential to familiarize yourself with the legal implications in your specific region. If you are a victim of stalking, do not hesitate to seek legal advice and take appropriate action to protect yourself.
In this age of digital connectivity, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers that lurk in the virtual world. Instagram stalking is a prevalent issue that can have far-reaching consequences for both the stalker and the victim. By understanding the psychology behind stalking, recognizing the warning signs, and taking proactive measures to protect ourselves, we can navigate the Instagram landscape with greater confidence and ensure our online safety.
An Instagram stalker is a term used to describe someone who frequently views a user's profile, stories, or posts without engaging with the content or following the user. This behavior is often done discreetly, and the person being "stalked" is typically unaware of it
As of now, Instagram does not provide a feature that allows users to see who has viewed their profile or posts. Therefore, there is no official way to identify Instagram stalkers unless they engage with the content through likes, comments, or direct messages
To limit potential stalking behavior on Instagram, you can make your account private, which restricts who can view your posts and stories. Additionally, you can block or restrict specific users to prevent them from seeing your content or interacting with you on the platform

The Collins Center recently created a report for the town of Swampscott, Massachusetts, which commissioned it in early 2015 after learning how the Collins Center helped nearby Salem. According to an article in the Salem News, the Collins Center report outlines ways in which Swampscott’s government can operate with more accountability and deliver services more efficiently.
To generate the report, the Collins Center conducted an expansive study of the town’s departments and fiscal 2014 figures. The study discovered that Swampscott was spending more on education, police, human services, fire, fixed costs, and debt service per capita compared to other municipalities. With this information, the Collins Center was able to suggest new and more effective ways, from consolidation to regionalization, for Swampscott to deliver town services.

A recent article in the New York Times reflected upon Trump's relationship with Steve Bannon (which appears to be unraveling). The article was one of many focusing on disarray in the White House and tensions between Bannon and the various others who have the President's ear.
But this paragraph caught my eye:

A groundbreaking Princeton University study conducted over the past two years shows a dramatic rise in mortality rates among white American men of middle age, especially those of low education.
How dramatic? In 1999, the mortality rate of middle-aged white Americans without a college degree was 30 percent lower than that of all black Americans. Now, it's 30 percent higher, said researcher Anne Case.
The reasons? Principally, drug and alcohol abuse and...

I love it when people tell me that “there are no jobs out there”. And even though I point to Indiana’s 4.1 percent unemployment rate and 64.4 percent worker participation rate, they still tell me that they can’t find a job because they’re black, have a criminal record or are an older person. The excuses run like water.
And while I could cite more facts and data about wages and how in most cases education attainment...

I missed the big Forefront debate on minimum wage last week, so here’s my $6.65 worth. Why $6.65? That’s the value of the current minimum wage in 2009 dollars, 2009 being the last time the wage was adjusted.
In other words, for an hour’s labor at the minimum wage today, a worker effectively earns 60 cents less in buying power than five years ago. The real value of the wage has been falling behind the pace...

In working to advance pro-family policies, half the battle is won if we can just get policymakers to understand a few simple facts. Chief among them is the investment made in each child.

Sugar House Prison (Utah)
|Population||575 (as of March 12, 1951)|
|Closed||March 12, 1951|
|Managed by||U.S. Marshals (1871-1896)|
Utah Department of Corrections (1896-1951)
Sugar House Prison, previously the Utah Territorial Penitentiary, was a prison in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The 180-acre (73 ha) prison housed more than 400 inmates. It was closed in 1951 due to encroaching housing development, and all of its inmates were moved to the new Utah State Prison in Draper. The site is now occupied by Sugar House Park and Highland High School.
In January 1852 Territorial Assembly of the Utah Territory approved a memorial requesting Congress appropriate $70,000 for a territorial penitentiary. Congress approved an appropriation of $20,000 in March 1853 and plans were drawn up. The following October, territorial governor Brigham Young selected the 10-acre (4.0 ha) government-owned site, then known as "The Big Field Survey", about six miles from central Salt Lake City. Sixteen "cozy cells dug into the ground, with iron bars on top" comprised the original prison at a cost of $32,000. The facility that became known as the Utah Territorial Penitentiary was opened in 1855. In 1867, the Utah Territorial Legislature determined that the prison was inadequate and once considered moving it onto an island in the Great Salt Lake. From 1871 to 1896, the penitentiary was federally operated by U.S. Marshals. The inmate capacity was expanded in 1875 to accommodate 300 individuals with the construction of a new cell house and prison walls.
In 1896, the buildings and surrounding lands were given to the newly created State of Utah and were designated as the Utah State Prison, sometimes referred to as the "state pen". Starting in 1900, executions by the state were carried out in the prison. Prior to that, death penalties were administered in the counties where the crimes had been committed. Tickets were distributed in 1903 for admission to publicly view an execution by firing squad.
With the continuing growth of Salt Lake City, the local residents eventually wanted the prison population relocated away from the neighborhood of Sugar House. In 1937, plans were approved for a new prison, 22 miles south of the city in Draper. By 1921, work began on the 1019-acre (408 ha) site, then called "Point of the Mountain", to replace the aging penitentiary. However, construction of the new facility was delayed because of shortages stemming from World War II. On March 12, 1951, the 575 inmates at the old prison were transferred by bus to the newly completed Utah State Prison. After nine sticks of dynamite had little effect on the heavy walls of the shuttered penitentiary, the demolition of many sections had to be carried out stone by stone.
Following the razing of the old prison, proposals to repurpose the land included an amusement park, campground, golf course, and shopping center. The former site eventually became Sugar House Park, jointly owned by Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, while 30 acres (12 ha) were set aside for the future campus of Highland High School.

Blazing a new, sustainable path toward the future, luxury outerwear and sportswear brand Moose Knuckles Canada has announced a range of environmental and social initiatives focused on the long-term sustainability of its global footprint.
Moose Knuckles says no to natural fur
Amongst these initiatives is the brand’s commitment to end all production with natural fur by the end of 2022.
“Our number one objective has always been about creating exceptional, handcrafted products that provide unmatched warmth without sacrificing style,” said co-CEO Noah Stern. “The steps we are announcing today are very much a reflection of the voices of the communities we engage with and our team’s commitment to play a key role in creating a more sustainable mother earth.”
Six steps towards a more sutainable future
The Moose Knuckles sustainability strategy commits the company to innovation and leadership across six impact streams:
Battling Climate Change, including the total mitigation of all carbon emissions by the end of 2025. Already, the company has completed an exhaustive inventory of its carbon emissions and begun to direct its supply chain toward complete mitigation of those pollutants.
Making & Moving Product Sustainably, including the complete elimination of conventional cotton, virgin polyester, and virgin nylon in its garments by the end of 2025. For example, in Fall/Winter 2021, the company re-engineered its fastest-growing new product innovation–Cloud 9–with a performance shell built exclusively of organic cotton and recycled polyester. And, in Spring/Summer 2022, its Luxury Essentials French terry will be engineered with a 50/50 blend of organic and recycled cotton, the recycled portion coming from Moose Knuckles’ factory offcuts.
Circular Business Models, to ensure all of Moose Knuckles’ iconic products will qualify for take-back, re-commerce, and recycling programs by the end of 2025.
Protecting Nature and Enhancing Biodiversity, including science-based targets for the health of water, land, oceans, and wildlife.
People & Communities, prioritizing the global challenges of diversity and inclusion.
Living & Working Sustainably, including developing all Moose Knuckles’ real estate investments to meet LEED silver standards.
Moose Knuckles - Textile Exchange
Moose Knuckles is proud to be a member of the Textile Exchange, a sustainability-focused, non-profit organization. The company is also a signatory to the 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge, the 2025 Recycled Polyester Challenge, the UN Global Compact pledge, and is a participant in the Corporate Fibre & Materials Benchmarking program of the Textile Exchange.
Today Moose Knuckles’ pioneering spirit and fearless nature live on as it strives to create a better future. Every day Moose Knuckles gets closer to this objective and reminds all its current and upcoming customers that when looking for warmth, all they have to do is follow the tracks left in the snow by the majestic Moose.
This was clear in 2020, when Kansas State University performed a study and found Moose Knuckles’ Stirling Parka to have the highest thermal insulation value amongst similar products from competing brands. It was the second time Moose Knuckles received the honour and makes it abundantly clear that Moose Knuckles produces the warmest coats. The brand is exceptionally proud of doing this while providing unmatched fit and fashion and limiting the environmental impact of its global footprint.

“Tough Love”, the second release from Avicii’s posthumous album “TIM”, definitely took the dance music scene by storm and still continues to do so, showing Avicii’s never-ending popularity. Now, this song has gotten a HUGE rework – and it comes from the legendary Tiësto.
Ahead of his headlining stint at Transgressive’s 15th-anniversary celebrations at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, Australian producer Flume has unveiled a brand new collaboration with the ever-fabulous London Grammar. The new track is called “Let You Know”.
Marshmello has been on an incredible run with collaborations and the same continues even now.
The much-awaited full line-up reveal for this year’s Tomorrowland Festival is finally out.

FC Barcelona’s new kit reveal had already gotten a lot of people talking about it.
It’s been a year of iconic crossovers and collaborations so far and here comes yet another one that has surprised one and all.
It has not really been possible for the entire world to not miss the absence of a talent like Avicii.
In an unfortunate scenario, dance music superstar Martin Garrix is forced to cancel all his shows over the next few weeks.
After his 2018 future house banger – The Spectre, LA-based producer Teffler is back with an exciting sequel – “The Spectre 2.0”.
You can certainly say history is repeating itself as Major Lazer’s composition changes once again!

Yesterday, October 21st, 1 million Americans celebrated the 11th annual Lights On Afterschool. Organizations and Schools all over Austin took part, YMCA, Heart House, and Boys and Girls Club to name a few. Activities included cooking demonstrations, art exhibits, performances, spelling bees, sport activities, tutoring and much more.
Jodie Grant, Executive Director of Afterschool Alliance shared a few words on the importance of Afterschool Programs.
“….it is more important than ever that we use Lights On Afterschool to shine a light on the inspired, engaged and innovative learning that occurs after the school day ends and before parents get home from work. Today’s afterschool programs have moved far beyond the mission to keep kids safe. Today, afterschool programs are at the forefront of educational innovation – creating school, community and faith based partnerships to bring resources, caring adults and exciting curricula to children in the hours after school.”
7500+ events took place calling attention to the need for more afterschool resources. To see pictures and read blogs about yesterday’s events check out Lights Afterschool Facebook event page!

Been looking for vegan ready meals for a while as convenient for a quick tea after work and I'm really surprised how nice and tasty this is 😋 will definitely buy again
Best taste but stodgy!
The taste is lovely, leaves your tongue a little tingly but in a nice way. My only problem is that it is stodgy & for some reason leaves a greasy feeling on your lips, if they can alter that then they would get 5 stars. I've tried all Tesco Biryani's & this has the best taste of all of them.
Very very nice. I would definitely buy again as g
Very very nice. I would definitely buy again as great when you have little time after a busy day. Not into ready meals but this tasted like quality ingredients, liked the level of vegan meat and was a nice touch of spice. Don’t let the one stars put you off.
Amazing flavour - one of the best vegan ready meals out there
Contains far too much salt! Don't eat!
I should have read the labelling. Far, far too much salt for any meal - over half the day's recommended amount. The meal consists mainly of rice heavily flavoured and (as said) with too much salt. I would not recommend anyone to eat this.
Flavour was okay, but meat was barely noticeable,
Flavour was okay, but meat was barely noticeable, all shredded and bland in the sauce
Good quality ingredients and great flavours.
Will buy again
Tastiest ready meal I’ve ever eaten, I absolutely love the wicked range anyway but this was extremely good. I did have to add some chilli to it as I don’t like mild curries but will 100% eat again. The veg wasn’t hard like it is in a lot of ready meals.
It was okay but too hot for me, wouldn’t buy again.

Greetings, One & All~

Poem of the Month
Now that summer’s heat is finally subsiding here in Northern Sonora and it’s actually beginning to feel like autumn, I’m put in mind of a gnomic utterance from Wilderness in the Marrow that perfectly suits the moment, in more ways than one. Enjoy!
I love the light of autumn:
the fall from grace
through space and into place,
a season between extremes
when we forgive each other and ourselves
for all we have and have not done,
and prepare together
for the darkness and cold to come.
© Will Clipman 2015, from Wilderness in the Marrow; previously published in Heron Dance
May the spirits
of all those who came before
and made us possible
and the spirits of all those yet to come
who will make us meaningful
be present in our spirits
now and always
For the artist, life’s greatest joy is total immersion in one’s work.

Former AFC Leopards midfielder Noah Wafula is set to be sent out on loan by Ugandan Premier League side Vipers SC.
Vipers Technical Director Eddie Butindo announced the release of Wafula alongside Ndizeye Sefu, Dickens Okwir, Fred Okot, Davis Kasirye and Frank Tumwesigye, who is set to join Express FC on loan until the end of the 2018/19 season.
The club, however, parted ways with Aggrey Madoi’s at the end of his contract. Wafula, who joined Vipers from Kakamega Homeboyz, reportedly failed to impress coach Michael Nam Ouma who recommended his release for a loan spell.
The club is yet to reach a deal with any club where they'll send the former Tusker midfielder who joined Vipers in August 2018.

The Est?e Lauder Cos.’ global sprawl helped to shield the beauty firm, which reported a 7.7 percent increase in second-quarter profits, from a weakening U.S. market.
The beauty firm is also ramping up its presence in alternative channels. During a conference call with analysts today, Lynne Greene, global president of Clinique, said that the brand will launch on QVC on Feb. 17. She noted that television shopping channels yielded $600 million in sales in 2006, and are growing at a rate of about 16 percent annually. The deal with QVC comes on the heels of Clinique’s partnership with Allergan that will result in a specialized line of Clinique-branded products to be sold only in doctors’ offices. The professional line is slated to launch this fall.
Following the call, president and chief executive officer William P. Lauder said, “The strength of our business will continue to come from our brands outside North America,” where the company generates 53 percent of its sales.
International sales and a shift in the calendar grew net earnings in the quarter ended Dec. 31, by 7.7 percent to $224.4 million, or $1.14 a diluted share, from $208.4 million, or 99 cents, in the year ago period. Sales climbed 16 percent to $2.31 billion from $1.99 billion a year earlier.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” – George Bernard Shaw
So, following George Bernard Shaw’s advice, I invite you to join me for a relaxed afternoon / evening of envisioning and creation!
During this colourful, creative and potentially messy workshop, we will spend some fun time connecting with our inner hopes and dreams through guided visualisation exercises, mindfulness practices and sound meditation.
We will then each create our own personal vision board for the life we want to draw to ourselves, and actively draw that vision to ourselves through a dynamic group meditation.
You will go home feeling relaxed and refocused, armed with your own personally-inspired vision board to help you create the life you want.
This is an informal gathering in a relaxed friendly, atmosphere, full of laughter, fun, sharing and magical manifestation. All materials will be provided including the vision board paper and art materials.
During this workshop, I will lead you through sound meditation and guided journeys, to a place of inner stillness, where you will connect with your intuition and envision all that you wish to create for yourself.
You will then be invited to create a visual reflection of the hopes and dreams you have connected with.
(If weather permits we will meditate, gain inspiration and create our vision boards outside in the stunning gardens – might be better left for summer months!)
There will also be light refreshments, soup, cake and snacks (mainly healthy, but some deliciously naughty!) available to fuel our creative fire.
If you would also like to bring some additional food to share for a meal, we can nibble on a buffet whilst we create!
So, you feel it’s time to create some changes in your life, this is the workshop for you!
The house, gardens and adjoining fields (20 acres) at Higher Combe Retreat are enchanting and beautiful. The extensive gardens contain mature, landscaped flower beds, a vegetable garden, herb garden, orchard (containing apple, pear and plum trees), and a small woodland area. You are warmly invited to walk around and enjoy all of this beautiful land during the day.
There is ample free parking at Higher Combe and an opportunity to stay overnight if you are travelling some distance (please contact me for details).
Higher Combe Retreat
2019 dates to follow shortly.
3.00pm – 7.00pm
(Light refreshments and snacks will be provided during the workshop, as well as all materials needed to make your vision board)

A heuristic aided Stochastic Beam Search algorithm for solving the transit network design problem
Kazi Ashik Islam, Ibraheem Muhammad Moosa, Jaiaid Mobin, and 2 more authors
Swarm and Evolutionary Computation, 2019
Designing efficient routes for a transit network is one of the main problems faced by city planners of the world. Due to the largeness and complexity of modern day road networks it is impossible to make a good route design manually. So, at present computer algorithms are used to design the routes. Designing routes for transit network is a multi-criteria decision making problem which has to search a large solution space to find an optimal solution. This paper presents a novel heuristic that can quickly generate good solutions. Also we propose a Stochastic Beam Search algorithm with a heuristic inspired successor operator. We conduct extensive experiments on some benchmark datasets and perform statistical tests on the results. We show that our algorithm can successfully explore the search space. Also we compare our results with previous studies and show that our algorithms produce superior results. In particular, for large datasets, the solutions generated by our heuristic in less than a second turn out to be better than solutions generated in two hours by the state of the art algorithm.

Tuesday's poem: Prairie Dawn by Willa Cather
A crimson fire that vanquishes the stars;
A pungent odor from the dusty sage;
A sudden stirring of the huddled herds;
A breaking of the distant table-lands
Through purple mists ascending, and the flare
Of water ditches silver in the light;
A swift, bright lance hurled low across the world;
A sudden sickness for the hills of home.
- Willa Cather
This May is hot and dry. We did not have enough rain and already the back hillside grass has turned yellow. Tonight I watched a hummingbird flit unsuccessfully through the tall weeds; the warm of the day carrying eucalyptus and jasmine fragrance through the neighborhood. (Nearby, on the patio, Harriet stalked lizards.)
I love how Cather connects the single line images with the heartsickness of home. I know Cather for her beautiful novels, but very recently learned she is a poet too. If you are unfamiliar with her works, I'd recommend her short stories ("Neighbor Rosicky" is my favorite) and her novel "My Antonia". I like to read her books because of the midwest settings. My mother grew up there and on nights like tonight, when the last bit of light filters across the golden hillside, I wonder if images like this would make her long "for the hills of home."
(For a view of what the hillside looked like in early spring, see here.)
