application filed may 11,
To ail/Z whom it come 1%.-
lBe it known that I, diner-imam it. dos spartan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ureenville, in the county of Augusta and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Chain-Link Connectors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in chain link connectors, the present embodiment of theinvention being particularly de signed and adapted for use in connecting the ends of the side chains or members of ordinary norrskidf chains commonly employed in connection with automobile tires.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a generally improved chain link connector of this class which. will be exceedingly simple in construction, cheap of manufacture and efficient in use.
i A further and, very important object is the provision of a link connector which may be readily attached to the'circumferentially extending chains or side members of nonskid chains and when so attached may be readily connected to the adjacent links of the side chains to draw the latter together in the act of securing the chain about the tire, suitable leverage being provided through the improved fulcrum lever pivotally mounted on the fulcrum or connector plate,the latter being provided with a suitable chain link receiving hook adapted to cooperate with the reversably arranged overlapping hook of the fulcrum lever whereby the latter is adapted to readliy transfer the connected link into the throat of the book of the main or fulcrum connector link and the pivoted or fulcrum lever is securely locked in position.
A still further object is the provision of improved locking means for securing the parts in their chain connecting positions, the pivoted lever and locking members being so arranged and disposed relative to each other that the operation of connecting and disconnecting the adjacent side members of a non skid ,chainanay be quickly effected and in which the liability of the lever or other parts coming open or disarranged will be reduced to a minimum.
With the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combinations of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in one of its embodiments in the accompanying 19%. serial 1W0. 560,195.
drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation of the improved chain link connector in its connected or operative position as applied to the adj links of an ordinary non'skid chain.
Fig. 2, a top or edge view of the same.
Fig. 3 a side elevation of the same, detached, the pivoted members being disconnected and the pivoted fulcrum lever being in its open or initial link receiving position preparatory to bringing the parts together in their closed connected or locked positions.
Fig. 4;, a similar view showing the pivoted lever and lock members in their intermediate or initial locking and unlocking positions.
Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings. 7 l
The improved connector comprises a main fulcrum or connector link 1, provided at one end with a chain link receiving hook 1, and, in the present instance, with a chain link receiving recess 1 The hook 1, is provided at one side with an overlapping reversibly extending similarly shaped or complementary hook 2, provided viiith a fulcrum lever 2, the lever 52, in the present instance, being provided with a link receiving recess 2 so that when the hooks 1 and 2 are closed they conjointly form an intervening chain link opening or recess, as shown most clearly in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
As a means of securing the free end of the fulcrum lever 2 in its closed or chain link connecting position, the outer or free end of the lever 2 is provided, in the present instance, with lug members 2 and an intervening recess 2, and as a means of locking and unlocking the fulcrum lever 2 in its respective closed and open positions, the fulcrum link 1 is provided at its opposite end with a pivoted lever locking member 3, one end of the lever or looking member 3 being provided with an opening connected to a cross stem or pivot 4, the latter, in the pres-- ent instance, being secured to one of the links 5, of the chain to be connected. The pivoted locking member 3 is pivoted, in the present instance, at one side of the fulcrum or connector link 1 by means of a pivot element 6, and one end of the pivoted lever locking member is provided with a projection or lug 3, and opposite recess portions 3", adapted to enter into the recess 2 and receive the lugs 2, respectively, of the "fulcrum lever when the latter is in locked position, as shown in Fig. 1.
The fulcrum connector link 1, and fulcrum lever 2 and lever locking member 3, are preferably in the specific form oi rela: tively flat plates as shown, the hook 2 ot the tulcrmn lever 2 being secured in overlapping reverse relation to the relatively fixed hook i of the link 1 by means oi a pivot or rivet member 2 and it will be noted upon reference to Fig. 2 of the drawings that the pivoted members 2 and 3 are mounted in the same plane at one side of the connector link or plate 1.
When it is desired to connect or disconnect the parts, the members 2 and 3 may be moved to substantially the position shown in Fig. t of the drawings, or, if desired, the free end of the lever may be bent or sprung to one side out of registering engagement with the lug 3 of the locking member 3 and then moved to its open position, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, there being suilicient resiliency or flexibility in the hook shaped fulcrum lever 2 to permit of this movement. I
WVhen it is desired to connect certain links of a chain to each other, the fulcrum lever 2 may be moved to an open position and the unattached link? indicated by dotted lines in'Fig. 3 may be initially seated in the recess 2, after which the lever2 may be moved towards its reversed position or looking position at one side. of the connector link 1, such movement serving to draw the link 7 toward the link receiving recess 1 in the link 1, and as the lever 2 is closed will deposit such link in such recess 1 and over the relatively fixed book 1*, the parts 2 and 3 being held in alinement by the tension of the connected chain parts and being prevented from accidental disarrangement or disconnection by the interlocking relation of the complementary recesses and projections in the parts 2 and 3.

Andrew Hill: A Beautiful Day. A big band led by pianist/composer Andrew Hill (that happens to include the great Marty Ehrlich) recorded at New York City's Birdland on January 24, 25 and 26, 2002. We should all be so fortunate to have a large band like this at our disposal. Hill knows exactly what to do with a large-scale canvas like this as he spins out great ideas and arrangements at every turn. And he still leaves plenty of room for some knockout solos. This is just one of many counter-arguments to the nauseating "jazz is dead"meme.
Albert Ayler: Holy Ghost Box Set (disc 2). I've discussed this disc earlier in this space. Intense. Rewarding to the attentive listener. Punishing for the passive one. I'm so glad this documentation exists and I can come back to it as a reference point. Ayler tapped into something substantial and each listening reveals something new to ponder over as a composer and improviser.

Overall, we were unable to demonstrate a difference in
survival associated with neurocART compared with non-neurocART. There are several limitations to this study. Firstly, our study may have been underpowered to detect a significant association between CPE score and overall survival. Sample size calculations estimate that we would have needed over 1000 events to this website detect a significant improvement in survival of <15%. The likely low incidence of death associated with NCI further limits the power of analysis. In APHOD, the low incidence of HAD precluded it from being analysed directly, and limited data are collected on other NCI outcomes. Although APHOD comprises relatively large multisite cohorts with good follow-up, these results flag the need for more extensive data for examination of neurocART outcomes including associated mortality. In particular, examination of mild CNS events might increase the sensitivity of analyses to general neurocART outcomes including associated mortality, subject to available data and the constraints this places on the power of analyses. Although TAPHOD does not collect these data in any standardized fashion, we are not aware of any other cohorts that do so. In this regard, the routine screening for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders in relevant cohorts should be considered.
Similarly, although previous studies have identified clade-specific differences in HIV neurotoxicity , our
analysis Cabozantinib research buy did not specifically adjust for this. Differences in neurotoxicity by clade may potentially limit the general application of CPE as used in this analysis, and the inclusion of clade as a covariate to examine this should be considered in future analyses. Other limitations include the enrolment of patients in APHOD after the initiation of cART, and the enrolment of patients with mono/dual therapy experience prior to starting cART. To address these concerns, prior treatment experience was factored into analyses including prior treatment type, neurocART-first L-NAME HCl cART, regimen count and neurocART exposure. Of these covariates, only higher regimen counts (≥4 regimens) were found to contribute significantly to multivariate models. In summary, our findings do not show a significant overall survival benefit associated with neurocART compared with cART in a population of HIV-positive adult patients (APHOD). In particular, the potential benefit associated with neurocART in terms of prevention of neurocognitive impairment did not translate into an improvement in overall survival in this population. These findings were limited by the likely low incidence of NCI-associated mortality. Further studies and more extensive data are needed to address these limitations. “

Hugh Paxton’s Blog is delighted to hear that the ivory trade has received another well-deserved kick in the cobblers. Thailand is joining in. With the military in charge we are likely to see some results. End of April, anybody not registering their ivory will face jail terms and fines. Bangkok’s jails are harsh, ghastly.
Why trade five years of your life in hell because you wanted some money and a long way down the line an elephant was killed?
It bemuses me. Really does.
If China gets serious then this is important. It might even offer hope!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
China Suspends Carved African Elephant Ivory Imports
Decision applauded by Humane Society International, which encourages China to implement a permanent ban
(Feb. 26, 2015)—In response to the Chinese government’s announcement that it will suspend the importation of carved African elephant ivory effective until Feb. 26, 2016, Iris Ho, director of wildlife for Humane Society International, issued the following statement:
“This announcement is an encouraging signal that the Chinese government is ratcheting down the import of African elephant ivory into the country. We are hopeful that more meaningful actions are being considered by the leadership and relevant government agencies of China that will further strengthen the country’s efforts on combating the elephant poaching and ivory trafficking crisis. We also encourage China and other countries to permanently ban domestic ivory trade and destroy all confiscated ivory stockpiles.”

Many of our new patients ask us if Botox is safe. In order to answer that question, we want to share a little bit about the history of Botox. Botox (onabotulinumtoxin A) was first used for medical purposes in 1989. Developed by Allergan, which was (and still is) a pharmaceutical company that develops treatments for eye issues, Botox was originally approved for the treatment of muscle spasms. That is because what Botox does is it relaxes the muscles into which it is injected. You may have seen advertisements touting the use of Botox for Migraines, eye concerns, or even bladder-control issues, and it works in all these cases by relaxing muscles.
Botox Cosmetic was approved in 2002, and since that time, it has become the number one cosmetic treatment in the world. Botox is approved for cosmetic uses in the upper face, so relaxing frown lines between the brows, smoothing wrinkles in the upper face, and preventing wrinkling in the crow’s feet area. People sometimes confuse Botox with Dermal fillers, which are used to add volume to the face (read more on our Botox vs. Fillers page). Botox relaxes the muscles that cause the expression that lead to wrinkling. A good Botox treament will leave you with some natural movement in the face. Looking frozen is not a good result!
It takes between 3-7 days for Botox to kick in, and we say full corrections is achieved at 14 days. If you feel like your results aren’t exactly what you wanted, give us a call and come in for a touch-up. It sometimes takes a treatment or two to get the exact dosing correct.
Botox results typically last between 3 and 4 months, depending on the strength of your facial muscles and the age of your skin. Older patients with less muscle tone may find that the Botox lasts for a shorter amount of time. In order to enhance the results of your treatment, we recommend good, medical grade skin care, and protecting your skin from sun damage.
Botox is a very well-tested, well-researched and widely used drug. Allergan reports patient satisfaction with Botox at 98%, which is an incredibly high number. In 2013 alone, over 5 million American received Botox treatments, and the number of Botox users only continues to grow. Since 2002, when Botox was approved for cosmetic purposes no long term adverse side effects have been reported. The most common side effect we see is some pinpoint bruising at the injection site. About once a year, we also hear about someone having a mild headache post treatment (though Botox also works incredibly well for treating headaches). It is also possible to have a eyelid or mouth droop after Botox injections. This is because Botox relaxes muscles. This is an unfortunate effect, but it does go away. All other reported side-effects, though rare, can be found on the drug package insert, or at: http://www.botox.com/
Doing It Right*
The best way to ensure you have a great Botox treatment is to have your injections done by a skilled, highly experiences physician. An experienced physician will best understand your facial anatomy and the muscles in your face, and will be able to give you the most exact does and precise placement of the Botox. A physician will also be able to treat you in the safest and most sterile environment and will be able to handle any complication that arises.
We recommend you receive your treatment in a physician’s office only, and that you check to be sure your provider is listed on the Allergan website using the “Find A Doctor” tool. This will ensure that the Botox you are receiving is manufactured only by Allergan, and is safe for usage. If you don’t see the name of your provider on the Find A Doctor listing, then you may want to think twice about using that provider.

Sam Fender’s music is always intrinsically intertwined with his hometown pride and politics; his new Christmas release, a cover of Alan Hull’s ‘Winter Song’, is no exception.
Enriched by the occasional hint of his recognisable Geordie accent, Fender’s vocals here, at the risk of sounding cliché, are enough to give goosebumps. His performance is brimming with such authentic emotion that it feels almost futile to write that this release held a great deal of personal meaning to the singer – it goes without saying.
‘Winter Song’ was originally written by Alan Hull and features on his band, Lindisfarne’s, 1970 album Nicely Out of Tune. For those of us from Newcastle, Lindisfarne need little introduction; however, for those not, they are a Newcastle-made folk-rock band that dominated the local music scene in the 70s. The song rejects the tingling bells and chiming choruses that are staples of classic Christmas ballads, instead gifting us with the much-needed reminder that there are those who the Christmas spirit fails to reach; those who will spend the 25th of December like any other day, on the city streets.
Sadly, a song from 40 years ago still rings incredibly true to the 2020 listener as homelessness has grown markedly over the past ten years. More than a mere gesture, the new release works closely with homelessness organisations to cement the message further. For the single’s lyric video, Fender teamed up with ‘People of the Streets’; an organisation which, in an attempt to ‘put human stories at the heart of the public conversation on homelessness’, provides homeless people with the skills and equipment required to develop a visual portfolio documenting their lives. The lyric video overlays a collection of these photographs with ‘Winter Song’ lyrics: matching 40-year-old words with modern day visions. The 26-year-old has also joined forces with street newspaper Big Issue, announcing that from 30 November there will be a special edition of the magazine available to buy from his website. All proceeds will go towards helping Big issue continue its vital work in reintegrating homeless people into the labour market.
Fender’s release of ‘Winter Song’ shows the singers commitment to ensuring those ‘forgotten by our government’ are not forgotten by us. The cover is an amalgamation of some of the North-East’s biggest names with one of its biggest issues. No matter where his fast-moving career might take him, it’s evident his head and heart don’t stray too far from the North Shields streets he grew up in.

Solo travel has become increasingly popular over the years, and women are no exception. However, with safety concerns and cultural differences, it can be daunting to pick a destination. Here are some of the best solo travel destinations for women.
Iceland is known for its beautiful landscapes, hot springs, and Northern Lights. The crime rate is low, making it a safe destination for solo travelers. With a strong emphasis on equality, women are respected and treated equally to men. Iceland also has a strong public transportation system, such as buses and shuttles, making it easy to explore the country.
Japan may be known for its crowded cities, but it has a strong culture of safety and respect. Japanese people are incredibly helpful and polite, making solo travel seamless. The country’s efficient public transportation systems such as trains and buses, ensures that reaching different destinations is effortless. Solo travelers can take advantage of solo seating sections on public transportation, where they can enjoy a sense of privacy.
3. Costa Rica
In Central America, Costa Rica is a perfect blend of beaches, wildlife, and adventure. Costa Rica is a stable country that has a strong tourism industry; it is also known for being friendly towards tourists. The country’s infrastructure, such as hotels, rental cars, and buses, is relatively easy to navigate, which is perfect for solo travelers.
Portugal is a country that is alluring to solo travelers looking for a laid-back vacation. The country offers picturesque beaches and coastlines, historic cities, and stunning countryside. Portugal is known for its hospitality, and locals are comfortable interacting with foreigners. Another advantage of Portugal is its low living cost and public transport that makes it accessible to almost anyone.
5. New Zealand
New Zealand is a well-rounded destination for solo travelers. Its natural features, including mountains and beaches, provide many activities, such as hiking, surfing, and rafting. The country is known for its friendly people and safety standards. As a solo traveler, you can take advantage of the well-suited accommodation options such as backpacker hostels, which are perfect for meeting other solo travelers.
In conclusion, solo travel is a liberating experience that should not be limited by gender. The destinations mentioned above provide safe and enjoyable experiences for solo female travelers. Remember, the key to a successful solo trip is in recognizing your comfort zones, taking necessary precautions, and having an open mind.

Celebrating Vocational Education and Training (VET) with a focus on skills for the green transition
Did you know that VET is one of the best pathways to employment? Across the EU, recent graduates of VET programmes at upper secondary level and post-secondary level tend to be significantly more employable than recent graduates of general education: the employment rate of VET graduates was 76.1 % in 2020, compared to just 58.3 % for general education graduates.
With vocational skills at the heart of the EU’s youth and jobs agenda, the European Commission announces the return of European Vocational Skills Week (EVSW). National, regional and local authorities and other stakeholders across Europe will organise VET-related events during the coming months, and during the Week itself, between 16 and 20May 2022, where the Commission will also host a conference (18-19 May).
EVSW, now in its sixth year and coinciding with the 2022 European Year of Youth, will culminate with the flagship VET Excellence Awards.
Skills for the green transition
The theme for this year’s EVSW is ‘Skills for the Green Transition’, in line with the European Green Deal – the EU’s commitment to take all necessary steps to become carbon neutral by 2050 – which includes measures for equipping young people with the appropriate skills for employment in the green economy.
Nicolas Schmit, European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights said: “To succeed in making Europe greener and climate neutral, people need the right skills. Vocational education and training can be the solution people are looking for. It is suitable for learners of all ages.
“Join us for VET Week and help us raise awareness about the advantages of vocational education and training. You can contribute by organising and participating in national or local events, and by encouraging people you know to invest in their skills and in their future.”
Click here to view the EVSW video message from Commissioner Schmit.
VET Excellence Awards
Are you an apprentice, a company, a VET provider? Do you have a best practice to share? The VET Excellence Awards recognise and reward individuals and organisations for their commitment to VET.
Award categories include:
Submissions for the awards are currently open. Full details, including deadlines for individual awards, are available on the awards page of the EVSW website.
Register your VET event
EVSW celebrates the very best practices in Vocational Education and Training (VET) and includes events by local, regional and national organisations and other VET partners.
EVSW invites partner organisations promoting VET as an attractive pathway to the labour market to register and link their events to the Week. Events can take place in any format: in-person, online or both. They could include webinars, online summits, virtual career fairs, Facebook or Instagram Live events, or other gatherings.
Partners hosting a VET event or activity linked to the Week will benefit from access to a host of toolkits, including tips to help spread the word about their event.
To register a partner event, please visit the partner page on the EVSW website.

Ironing is amongst the most tedious, time-consuming of household chores. While looking your best for a job interview or date night is important, it may sometimes seem that the time used on ironing could be better used elsewhere – but it doesn’t have to be that way! There are several simple, cheap solutions to make ironing a wrinkle-free chore; while it may never be fun, it no longer has to be a pain.
Table of contents
Wrinkle releaser is an excellent way for the lazy and busy alike to slash their ironing time to no time at all. Here’s how it works: 1. Lay your desired wrinkle-free item out flat. 2. Spray wrinkle releaser from 6-10 inches away, dampening but not soaking. 3. Hang up to dry. It’s that easy! This method can be used on anything from jeans to dress shirts to heavier items such as tablecloths and curtains, and there are a variety of scents and brands on the market to choose from. Some even specialize in hypoallergenic or chemical-free products. You can also make your own wrinkle releaser cheaply and easily: just mix 1 teaspoon of fabric softener in 1 cup distilled water, or 10-15 drops essential oil with 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water, in a spray bottle, and voila!
Use your dryer to your advantage
One great way to make sure you get the best use of your dryer – and your time! – is by utilizing the tumble-dry or wrinkle-free option on your drying unit. If your dryer doesn’t have one, spritz your item with a little bit of water and toss it in on high for a few minutes. And, even though it may take more time now, be sure to sort your clothes before you tumble-dry; heavier items can actually crush more wrinkles into your clothes, extending any potential ironing time later. For any of these methods, be sure you are around to pull your clothes out of the dryer while they are still damp, as that is the best time to hang up your clothes and ensure any remaining wrinkles literally fall out.
Steam your clothes while you iron
If you still want the surefire results of releasing those wrinkles yourself, steaming your clothes with a steam press is an excellent method to slash your time spent ironing. Even a mid-range steam press can work to your advantage while still delivering an impeccable, wrinkle-free shine to your clothes. Larger items can be steamed too; to save even more time here, fold things such as sheets, tablecloths, and duvet covers in half. Most presses will have the option of multiple levels of steam to release even the most stubborn, longest-lasting of creases.
Make sure your ironing board is top-notch
If you are using steam and still finding that your ironing is consuming too much time, your ironing board cover may be the culprit. If it is time to upgrade to a new cover, or even a new board altogether, opting for a reflective fabric can seriously aid in cutting down your time. Metallic, shiny, reflective fabrics direct steam and heat from your iron back into your fabric, making those creases fall out faster and easier.

A NASA-funded Applied Sciences Program to develop an operational prototype for a global, real-time, data-driven predictive system needed to assess biologically harmful radiation exposure levels for aviation
Project Description: NAIRAS provides a space weather decision support tool related to radiation impacts on crew and passengers of long-range aircraft
System Design:A widely-distributed network architecture ensuring robustness and extensibily, linking real-time space-weather measurements with state-ot-the-art models to deliver mission-critical information
Current Dose Rate:The NAIRAS model predicts atmospheric radiation exposure from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar energetic particle (SEP) events. GCR particles propagation from local interstellar space to Earth is modeled using an extensionhe Badhwar and O'Neill model, where the solar modulation has been parameterized using high-latitude real-time neutron monitor measurements at Oulu, Tomnicky, and Moscow. During radiation storms, the SEP spectrum is derived using ion flux measurements taken from the NOAA/GOES and NASA/ACE satellites. Transport of the cosmic ray particles - GCR and SEP - through the magnetosphere is estimated using the CISM-Dartmouth particle trajectory geomagnetic cutoff rigidity code,driven by real-time solar wind parameters and interplanetary magnetic field data measured by the NASA/ACE satellite. Cosmic ray transport through the neutral atmosphere is based on analytical solutions of coupled Boltzmann transport equations obtained from NASA Langley Research Center's HZETRN transport code. Global distributions of atmospheric density are derived from the NCEP Global Forecasting System (GFS) meteorological data.

Jobs boost from Dalton Park expansion
The multi-million pound expansion of a County Durham retail park has been given the go-ahead.
Plans for the Dalton Park complex at Murton, near Peterlee, include a cinema, restaurants, hotel and food store.
Up to 500 jobs could be created during construction and in the £35m scheme's new facilities.
The existing 55-acre site opened in 2003 on the site of a former colliery, and is home to about 70 shops.
Work is expected to begin within a year, and take 12 months to complete.
Jerry Hatch, Dalton Park's general manager, described it as the start of an "exciting decade".
He said: "The new scheme will not only enhance our retail offer but will service visitors both locally and regionally."


KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - The US pioneers of metalcore
The End Of Heartache
While on the German side bands like Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn helped metalcore out of its infancy, in the USA it was mainly Killswitch Engage. The band around guitarist and mastermind Adam Dutkiewicz became known with singer Howard Jones, but since 2012 founding member Jesse Leach has been back on the mic for him. A duet between the frontmen has been announced for the upcoming album, with both citing Faith No More's Mike Patton as an influence. Killswitch Engage have been nominated for a Grammy three times and have sold well over four million albums. Especially live, the likeable pranksters are a spectacle!

Note: This article was written in advance of last week’s severe storm threat in central Texas. Some communities ended up seeing 60-80 mph wind gusts leading to wind damage, and also quarter to nearly ping pong ball size hail (1.5″ in diameter). For storm/damage photos, click here.
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The 7 a.m. Friday update from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center continues the “enhanced risk” for severe storms (a 3 out of 5 on the threat scale) for much of central Texas including Austin, and now also includes more of the Hill Country. This diagnosis means that numerous severe thunderstorms are possible.
As the storm approaches, we are pouring over new forecast data and honing in on which specific threats are most likely for our area.
The storm threats depend a bit on how much the clouds break — and thus how much temperatures heat up — this afternoon before the front arrives. Assuming we get some breaks of sun in the Hill Country warming temperatures into the upper 70s, we will be able to tap into atmospheric instability and fire a few discrete supercell thunderstorms. If these form, very large hail and a tornado would be the main threats.
Since the supercell development is still conditional on afternoon temperatures, the tornado threat is a bit more uncertain today and thus lower on your threat scale.
As the storms form into a more certain squall line and approach the Austin metro by 6-7 p.m. then race eastward; strong, damaging wind gusts of 75+ mph and large hail are the more sizable threats. The threat of tornadoes drops a bit once the storms form into a line, but small tornadoes can still form embedded within the line.
The NOAA Storm Prediction Center issues daily severe weather threat maps, with the different colors of shading relate to how widespread their forecasters expect severe weather to be. Today’s “enhanced risk” means that numerous severe storms are possible.
Separately, the NOAA SPC issues a black, hatched area on some severe weather risk days, indicating the threat of “significant severe” storms.
The “significant severe” forecast by the NOAA SPC relates not only to storm coverage, but also to their potential intensity.
Today, parts of our area including Austin are included in both the “significant hail” threat and the “significant wind” threat, meaning storms may produce hail 2″ in diameter (egg-sized) and damaging wind gusts of 75+ mph.
It should be noted that central Texas is not included in the threat of “significant tornadoes” (EF-2+ intensity), but some areas in northeast Texas are.
Tornadoes are not common in the winter but have occurred in the Austin metro area in every month of the year. Here are the entries from our weather diary on March 8, 2016:
“EF-0 TORNADO AT 9:17 AM NEAR CR248/RR2338 IN NW WILLIAMSON CO. 80 MPH WINDS, 50 YDS. WIDE, ON THE GROUND FOR 1.5 MILES NEAR ANDICE AREA, WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO TREES, OUTBUILDINGS, AND A FEW HOMES. EF-1 TORNADO TOUCHES DOWN AT 7:10 PM, 3E OF KATEMCY, TRAVELS 2 MI. IN N. MASON CO., LIFTING 4W FREDONIA. 185 YDS WIDE, 95-100 MPH WINDS. MAINLY TREE DAMAGE. TORNADO ALSO REPORTED 5NE FREDONIA IN SW SAN SABA CO. Tornado Warnings in the morning for Lampasas and Williamson County. Damage to private marina and trees on Lake Buchanan near Tow. Waterspout (likley gustnado) seen over Lake Buchanan. Otherwise scattered showers and thunderstorms in the morning, then more storms develop during the late afternoon. Golf ball hail N. Lampasas Co. Tornado Warnings in the evening for San Saba, Mason counties as large supercell moves across the area. Grapefruit size hail between Katemcy and Fredonia. 2″ hail 7 WSW Katemcy. Golf ball hail 10 N of Mason. Funnel cloud 16 W of Cherokee. Spotters also see wall cloud, possible rain-wrapped tornado near Fredonia. Quarter size hail and 2″ of rain in 2 hours in San Saba. Rain, thunderstorms weaken late, but continue slowly spreading, developing eastward, into metro area before midnight.”– KXAN Weather Diary
The last time Austin was included in this threat of significant thunderstorm winds was June 16, 2019, a day that brought 57 mph wind gusts to Georgetown.
Austin was last in the threat of significant hail on June 17, 2019, but no severe hail was observed from that day’s storms. Prior to that, a significant hail threat on April 17, 2019 did yield 1-inch diameter hail (quarter-sized) in Richland Springs, San Saba County.

Frantically searching for an important document, I rummaged through all my papers up and down the Study. My mind can’t be trusted with anything anymore! My memory is shot. I exhausted myself and all my options. Over a cup of tea, I thought about all the places I had not looked through. A box full of Saagar’s books and diaries. I never read through any of his personal stuff. But that day, before I knew it, I had read all his musings from his travels to Uganda with a friend. They were there for 2 weeks to help at a local school supported by their College.
It seems when he was struggling, he wrote. Like me. He wrote exactly as he spoke, leaving some words half said and stretching out the first letter of unspeakable words. His diary was reading itself to me in his voice. I felt like he was in the room. I was an intruder. It wasn’t my place to read it. It was personal to him. But it was also my conduit to him even if it was written 27 months prior to Day 0.
It was clear that the boys
were totally unprepared for the massive change. This is the note from his last
30/7/2012. 2300 hrs.
“Never before have I been able to say the words “I want my mommy!” with as much certainty as now. This sucks ass. I feel like such a pathetic little shit. I hope missing Mother is no more than a manifestation of homesickness.”
A deep feeling. Then a judgement. Then an admonishment and then a substitution. A minimization. A classic example of a young man being brutally unkind to himself even though he is suffering. Being a ‘man’. Not allowing for any fragility even in the face of a harsh reality.
Fact: He missed me. Thinking of me brought him comfort. I have evidence.
How could I ever doubt that? By judging myself too critically. Why do we do this to ourselves?
That was a beautiful gift from you to me on your birthday my son. 25th birthday! Bless you my love.
Work is good.
Ikebana is beautiful.
Friends are lovely.
The weather is not bad.
The volunteering is going well.
Meditations are peaceful.
Writing is fun.
Si is a blessing.
Family is great.
Smiles and laughter are coming back.
Music is returning.
Good things are happening.
Saagar’s friends are sweet.
Energetically, things feel positive.
All is well.
But I miss him.
I miss him to death. It kills me.
I miss his smile, his hugs, his smell, his voice, his jokes, his brilliance, his light.
I miss the way he made me feel.
I miss what we had and what we could have had.
I miss the cup of tea he would sometimes make for me.
I miss everything about him. I wonder if he knows how much. Our texts, our conversations, out silent communications, our shopping sprees, our travels… I miss them all. Even though he is always present, I miss him like hell. Nothing seems to lessen the missing. It is always there, like an unbearable part of me. The wretched missing and me are incurably, painfully one.
Maybe he has a nice little flat to himself up there, with a high ceiling, big windows and an airy verandah, properly kitted out with a fancy drum kit, a ping-pong table and a cricket pitch nearby. Maybe he hangs out with his new friends and they talk about ‘stuff’ and go to the gym together. They possibly do all kinds of accents and have a good laugh. Maybe they have fancy dress parties too. Maybe he cooks meatball curry for them and they tell each other stories about their time on Earth.
Maybe he sometimes looks down at his house that is now like a shrine filled with flowers and candles, his Mum’s eyes now lustreless, some of his socks and t-shirts that she pretends to borrow from him, his fine black Sharpie pen in her bag along with a random Arabic worksheet of his from University, Milkshake fast asleep against his favourite rectangular blue floral cushion from Ikea. Maybe he can also hear the deep haunting silence.
Maybe he remembers what happened that day. Maybe he regrets it. Maybe he visits and revisits. Maybe he is right here, right now.

Washburn visits China
Friday, November 4, 2011
– Abigail Washburn and her band the Village will embark on a tour along the Silk Road of Mongolia and Western China, in an effort to build cultural bridges by collaborating with local musicians in a tour starting later this month. She currently is touring the U.S. on the East Coast.
Sponsored by the U.S. State Department with support from the Patagonia Corp., the band will perform at universities, orphanages and community centers, with several hours to work up collaborative music in each city.
"This tour will be the story of the yearning of the human spirit to connect across cultures," said Washburn, a former Chengdu resident who speaks Mandarin. Having toured China 12 times in the past 7 years, Washburn is one of the few artists capable of performing in the region as an independent entity. "Oh yeah. And it's gonna be one hell of a party," she said.
The entire tour will be documented with a film crew, with video journals uploaded throughout the Fall (Youku.com in China and Youtube for the rest of the world).
Washburn's band will include songwriting partner Kai Welch, fiddler Ross Holmes from Mumford & Sons, drummer Jamie Dick and bassist Jared Engel. Washburn released her third album, "City of Refuge," earlier this year.
U.S. dates are:
Nov. 4 - Rockland, ME / The Strand Theatre
Nov. 5 - Woodstock, NY / Bearsville Theater
Nov. 6 - Boston, MA / Paramount Center Black Box
Nov. 7 - Brooklyn, NY / The Bell House
Nov. 8 - Portland, ME / One Longfellow Square
Nov. 9 - Fall River, MA / Narrows Center for the Arts
Abigail Washburn & the Village - The Silk Road Tour
Nov. 12 - 14 Hohhot
Nov. 16 - Yinchuan
Nov. 18 & 19 - Xi'an
Nov. 21 - Lanzhou
Nov. 23 - Xining
Nov. 25 - Urumqi
Nov. 27 & 28 - Xinjiang Province
Nov. 30 - Dec 2 - Guangzhou

City of Refuge
Well known in the folk/acoustic world for melding Appalachian old time music with ancient Chinese folk, Abigail Washburn's work with Uncle Earl and the Sparrow Quartet is nonetheless scant preparation for the scope of her latest project. "Afterquake," an album of folky electronica she put together after the 2009 Chinese earthquake with Chinese-American DJ and producer Dave Liang, may be a better indicator of the expansive, multi-genre mindset at work here.

Song Of The Traveling Daughter
Among all the loosely and imperfectly defined genres that we employ tocategorize and make some sort of sense out of the music we hear and buy, there may be no more difficult music to accurately describe than "old time" music. To many ears, it's confined to the realm of high-energy Appalachian string bands, while to others, it includes the bluesy and occasionally bawdy songs of the likes of Jimmie Rodgers and Charlie Poole. Still others think of bluegrass as being part of old time though, while »»»

A piece published on the website of Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them), the political party of which I’m the chairman, in April 2018:
A piece in today’s Evening Standard. The paper has reported an average (mean) gender pay gap of 12.8 per cent in favour of men, and an average (median) gender pay gap of 5.8 per cent in favour of women. Anyone familiar with this subject will be aware that the first figure is utterly meaningless – albeit often used by feminists to demand ‘something must be done’ – while the latter figure is at least an indicator of the pay gap between men and women as classes in an organization, although it says nothing about all the factors that cause the gap.
The paper’s female employees are already earning more than its male employees, by the second measure. End of story? No. Women must be advanced, even when they’re already ahead of men. The end of the article:
George Osborne, Editor of the Evening Standard, said: “We’re working hard to promote more women and create a diverse working culture.
“While our average gender pay gap is lower than most other media organisations, and it’s great news that the median pay of women is actually higher than men here, there’s still lots more work to do. I am confident we’re heading in the right direction.”
Manish Malhotra, managing director of the Evening Standard’s owner ESI Media Group, said: “We are committed to recruiting more women into senior roles and developing an easier pathway for women to progress.
“Initiatives to help us achieve that goal include a commitment to ensuring women are shortlisted for senior jobs, anonymised CVs, improved maternity benefits and more flexible working for men and women.”
William Collins’s important blog piece on the gender pay gap is here. Spoiler alert:
The median gender pay gap is in favour of women for part-time employees, and has been for 20 years. Post-tax, for full-time employees, the gap has been in favour of women for a number of years.

I love this sweet little guy, he has so much character! Great pattern in the clouds, very nice!
This is an amazing design Brittney! Despite the ominous storm clouds looming over him, the lantern carrier looks so cheerful as he ventures out into the rain! You just have to admire such a positive spirit!
I just couldn't resist this happy guy, surrounded by all these giant (woolly) thunder-clouds. What a lovely idea and a cute design. And I have to agree on the ccordinates to. Great colours, the red is perfectly chosen.
Thanks demouse and inscribed_here!
oooo and I like all the coordinates too!
So cute! This is awesome!
I love your style, Brittney! The ominous looking clouds and dramatic colours just scream danger - very apt for a thunderstorm. Your sweet little character looks very happy to be carrying the humble lantern but this design reminds me of how very glad I am to have electricity! Fantastic work!

Hogansville discusses broadband proposal at council meeting
Published 11:00 am Wednesday, June 9, 2021
During Monday’s meeting, the Hogansville City Council discussed a proposal to bring broadband service to the city, as well as renovations to the amphitheater.
Some of the discussion also centered around the new city hall building, as Monday was the first day city staff worked out of the new location, which was previously a branch of PNC Bank.
“This didn’t just happen… it was a lot of work from a lot of people that went into making this a possibility and then actually pulling it off,” said Hogansville Mayor Bill Stankiewicz. “And maybe I can speak for the citizens of Hogansville when I say that we’re very blessed when we have a staff, and we have employees such as we have that can really go the extra mile and perform on a level way above anything you could expect. You have my appreciation and my respect. Thank you very much.”
Andy Macke, vice president of external affairs for Comcast, delivered a presentation on how his organization could bring broadband service to Hogansville and Grantville. According to city manager Jonathan Lynn, Macke had spoken to the council about the same topic a few months ago.
“We have this system here in Grantville and Hogansville that definitely could use some love, but the good news is that we’re already on poles, we already have facilities, and it’s relatively easy to get upgraded. We did a similar project in Haralson County. We actually had three of them — one in Haralson, two in Carroll County that we launched in June this time last year,” Macke said.
He stated that the funds provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 presented a new opportunity to complete the proposed project in Hogansville and Grantville.
Council member Toni Striblin argued that the city had more immediate needs than broadband.
“I would love to have this service here … But at this point, those federal funds that came in — the $900,000 that came to us — as we’ve had our meetings and our discussions, that money was to be allocated for our water system. And we need that. We need that more than we need broadband right now. We can’t grow without that water system in,” Striblin said.
Lynn began the discussion on improving Hogansville’s amphitheater.
“We do have roughly $300,000 that is allocated within our current SPLOST to do the amphitheater project. We don’t really have a plan at this point for the amphitheater. At minimum, we do [have] landscaping, a new bandshell to go on the existing area without compromising it. That’s as far as our thoughts have gotten,” Lynn said.
“We will be looking for a landscape architect to help us with this project and move forward. But now’s the time. Regardless of the feedback at this point, people know we have an amphitheater, so now we really can’t sit on it. It’s time to move forward with that project,” he continued.
Striblin suggested the city do something about a water flow issue.
“There’s a huge water wash issue because from the top of that hill,” Striblin said. “From every direction, that water flows right down the middle of the amphitheater. We have got to do something to stop that running.”
She also suggested replacing the trees that were removed, saying people were upset about their removal and that they’d provide shade. Additionally, she suggested creating a storage building.
“One other thing that I was told back when we did this way back when is that we need a building to the side of it for storage. And that would be for your monitor systems, all that kind of stuff …,” Striblin said. “What was suggested then is that where the flat space is where the gym was behind the bathrooms, is you build a secure building.”

Myosin V is biomolecular motor with two actin-binding domains (heads) that take multiple steps along actin by a hand-over-hand mechanism. We used high-speed polarized total internal reflection fluorescence (polTIRF) microscopy to study the structural dynamics of single myosin V molecules that had been labeled with bifunctional rhodamine linked to one of the calmodulins along the lever arm. With the use of time-correlated single-photon counting technology, the temporal resolution of the polTIRF microscope was improved ∼50-fold relative to earlier studies, and a maximum-likelihood, multitrace change-point algorithm was used to objectively determine the times when structural changes occurred. Short-lived substeps that displayed an abrupt increase in rotational mobility were detected during stepping, likely corresponding to random thermal fluctuations of the stepping head while it searched for its next actin-binding site. Thus, myosin V harnesses its fluctuating environment to extend its reach. Additional, less frequent angle changes, probably not directly associated with steps, were detected in both leading and trailing heads. The high-speed polTIRF method and change-point analysis may be applicable to single-molecule studies of other biological systems.

To guide the design of alternative genetic systems, we measured melting temperatures of DNA duplexes containing matched and mismatched nucleobase pairs from natural and unnatural structures. The pairs were analyzed in terms of structural features, including nucleobase size, number of hydrogen bonds formed, the presence of uncompensated hydrogen bonding functional groups, the nature of the bond joining the nucleobase to the sugar, and nucleobase charge. The results suggest that stability of nucleobase pairs correlates with the number of H-bonds, size complementarity, the presence of uncompensated functional groups, and the presence of charge on a nucleobase. Each of these properties appear to be more significant than the nature of the glycosidic bond and sequence context. The results provide guidelines for constructing stable Watson-Crick like nucleobase pairs with unnatural nucleobases. The experiments also demonstrate that expanded genetic systems can be constructed using size complementary nucleobase pairs that contain three hydrogen bonds.

Exonic splicing regulatory sequences (ESRs) are cis-acting factor binding sites that regulate constitutive and alternative splicing. A computational method based on the conservation level of wobble positions and the overabundance of sequence motifs between 46,103 human and mouse orthologous exons was developed, identifying 285 putative ESRs. Alternatively spliced exons that are either short in length or contain weak splice sites show the highest conservation level of those ESRs, especially toward the edges of exons. ESRs that are abundant in those subgroups show a different distribution between constitutively and alternatively spliced exons. Representatives of these ESRs and two SR protein binding sites were shown, experimentally, to display variable regulatory effects on alternative splicing, depending on their relative locations in the exon. This finding signifies the delicate positional effect of ESRs on alternative splicing regulation.

The crystal structure of the self-complementary decamer d(CCIGGCCm5CGG), where I and m5C replace A and T, respectively, in the Watson-Crick B-DNA decamer d(CCAGGCCTGG) is in the A-DNA conformation. Furthermore, the A-DNA duplex exhibits the unexpected wobble I.m5C+ base pairs with N3 of 5-methylcytosine protonated. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with a = 25.02, b = 44.95 and c = 47.62 A with one DNA duplex in the asymmetric unit. Intensity data were collected on our Siemens area detector to 1.6 A resolution. The structure was solved by the molecular placement method starting with a model from an isomorphous structure. The refinement gave a final R value of 16.3% for 404 DNA atoms and 104 water molecules using 5119 reflections. The hydration of the I.m5C+ wobble base pairs in the major groove stabilizes them as in the G.T/G.U wobbles. A comparison with the Watson-Crick base pairs of another isomorphous structure d(GCGGGCCCGC) reveals that the wobble base pairs are better described by a rotation of the individual nucleotide units around their centers of gravity. This is in contrast to the earlier description of translation of the bases into the grooves. The exposed N4 amino group of 5-methylcytosine in the wobble base pair provides a rationale for its deamination to thymine.

For over 100 evicted families, the first to accept the rehabilitation package under the Vallarpadam project, the decision to trust the previous LDF Government is proving disastrous.
Despite stringent warnings from the Moolampilly Coordination Committee, they accepted the government deal in 2009 and went on to become the first batch of evictees to accept the rehabilitation package. However, they are the worst off among the 316 families evicted under the Moolampilly package.
The land allotted to them at Thuthiyoor in Kakkanad is devoid of any basic facilities, including the water and electricity even after three years of receiving the title deed. While the others got many of the facilities, including electricity and water, and work on many houses completed, the land alloted at Thuthiyoor doesn’t even have a road.
Some evictees even managed to get land close to their native villages in lieu of their persistent demands.
“We had warned them repeatedly not to accept the deal unless the government gives it in writing that all the facilities will be provided. But many of them went on with their decision and accpeted the title deed. The Moolampilly Coordination Committee stuck to its demands on provision of basic facilities at the rehabilitated sites and rehabilitation near the native villages,” said the Convener Francis Kallathunkal.
But, the evictees at Thuthiyoor said making a decision was difficult when one had no roof above head. “The government had promised us to provide all facilities. Besides we were informed that there was no other area available near our native village. So we decided to accept the land before the government backtracks from the move,” said Nobert Matthew, an evictee from Kothad.
Adding to the woes is the fact that the land at Thuthiyoor has now been turned into a waste dump for the debris from the demolished North RoB. “After we launched a stir, we were informed that the debris would be moved soon. Though the officials began the work and started crushing the debris,the work is now at a standstill,” said Nobert.
