Written by Anish Philip @dak0mish
Knicks fans overrate many of their players, especially those they draft. It’s typical of any hardcore fan of any team, but it seems amplified by the Knicks fan insatiable desire for a contender. Gallo was the next Bird depending who you spoke to. A solid player, but he won’t be starring in McDonalds commercials at any point.
The affliction occurred again with Iman Shumpert. Walsh’s final stamp on a franchise he pulled from fan hell like Dante, was selecting Shumpert with the 17th pick in the 2011 draft. Relatively unknown till the draft, the word potential was attached to his game. He couldn’t shoot, but he had NBA ready defense, great athleticism, and had above average handle for a two guard. With two non defenders in Anthony and Stoudemire, the pick was made.
Instantly a fan favorite, Shump fit in perfectly with any identity the Knicks had during the 11-12 season. Whether it was Linsanity, or Melo-mania, Iman complimented the lineup as a double figure scorer and lock down defender. He replaced Landry Fields in the starting lineup, and helped turn around the Knicks season from lottery to playoff team.
The Knicks had seemingly found their shooting guard of the future. Unfortunately, his season ended with a knee injury in the first round against Miami.
Returning in January ’12, Shump came into a very different situation. The Knicks were entrenched in the #2 slot in the East, had a vice on the Atlantic division, and a veteran squad with a two point guard lineup. Eventually, he found his way back as a starter, and brought a 40% 3pt clip that fit in nicely.
After what many believe was a disappointing playoff performance, it was evident that the Knicks needed a great two way player to compliment Melo to be considered a true contender. The logical choice was Shumpert. He’s young, and the Knicks witnessed first hand a defensive stopper turn top player in Paul George. So there was hope.
Then the 2013 season started. The losses piled up. Shumpert had not made the jump the Knicks and their fans had anticipated. Shump has been passive on offense, not taking open shots, creating for others, and displaying a lack of finishing ability. Worse than that, the defensive ability he hung his hat on had failed on many occasions. The rebounding and defensive motor are still there. The IQ hasn’t been. Shumpert has been consistently been beat on back cuts, taken poor angles on screen plays, and bailed out players in compromised positions by reaching in.
Scouts have noticed the average play, and expectations need to temper in Knicks nation. We’re not sending Shump out and getting Rondo back, no matter how much Carmelo wishes it. We couldn’t wrangle a good, young PF like Faried, who the Knicks passed on in the draft to select Shumpert. What is Iman’s true trade value? The Knicks are listening to offers, and what are realistic expectations Knicks nation can expect?
Shump fits a new mold in the NBA – the 3-and-D wing. Those players are ideal fits next to dominant point guards, and the NBA is in a golden age of floor generals. Almost every team has a good, if not great, point guard. Let’s compare Shump to other 3-and-D players of all ages to put his value into perspective:
Thabo Sefalosha: 7.3 ppg 4.6 rpg 1.7 spg FG 39% FT 90% 3PT 26%
Shane Battier: 5.1 ppg 2.4 rpg 0.6 spg FG% 44 FT% 78 3PT% 34
Arron Affalo: 22.5 ppg 4.7 rpg 4.5 apg .8 spg FG% 49% FT% 82% 3PT% 54%
Wesley Matthews: 15.9 ppg 5.0 rpg 1.8 apg 0.9 spg FG% 53% FT% 76% 3PT% 50%
Jimmy Butler: 11.2 ppg 4.8 rpg 1.7 apg 1.8 spg FG% 44% FT% 86% 3PT% 39%
Iman Shumpert: 8.2 ppg 4.8 rpg 2.5 apg 1.7 spg FG% 41% FT% 88% 3PT% 34%
Shump is on the wrong end of production from 3-and-D players. For some contenders, he might warrant a late 1st rd pick. He’d seem to be a great fit for OKC or MEM. To a rebuilding team, he’s another block in the foundation, not a foundation player. Drummond, Hayward, Monroe, Bledsoe all have the value to bring back a seasoned star that the Knicks need.
So if the the best Steve Mills can get is a rotation player, or a late round pick, is it worth it? I don’t know. What I do know is that sending a fan favorite for someone who won’t pay big dividends in the Knicks title chase won’t bode well with the Knicks fan base. If there’s one thing Knicks fans love to do more than overrate their draft picks, it’s lament their exit when the Knicks don’t produce playoff success.

|Aren't they lovely?|
They are very simple, as simple as peanut blossoms. Actually, they were inspired by peanut blossoms, but instead of chocolate kisses, they are made with peppermint kisses. And since peanut butter and mint are just weird together, I had to use a different cookie. We used snickerdoodles last year, and they were very good. But this year I was flipping through my Taste of Home cookbooks and came across the recipe for Chocolate Crackle cookies. Perfect! They are nice and chocolatey, and easy to make. Excellent compliment to the peppermint kisses. And this combination is not only great for eating, it is also very pleasing to the eye. At least, I think they are. So without further ado, I give you my Pretty Peppermint Kiss Cookies.
Pretty Peppermint Kiss Cookies
1 cup granulated sugar6 Tablespoons oil (I used coconut)2 eggs6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon saltpowdered sugar36 Peppermint kisses
In a large bowl, beat sugar, cocoa, and oil until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled - at least 2 hours or overnight. I didn't take it out until right before scooping and I didn't have any trouble.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls - I used my small cookie scoop, so about 1 Tablespoon size. Roll in powdered sugar. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks. Immediately press one peppermint kiss in each cookie. They do tend to puddle a little, but if you don't jostle them and have the kitchen cool enough, they should hold their shape. Makes about 3 dozen.

Now more than ever, schools and universities around the world are coming to understand the value of digital transformation in education. Smart buildings and interconnected infrastructures enable people to reimagine what it means to be on a campus or in a classroom—whether they’re staff, faculty, students, or researchers.
What Is Making These Changes Possible?
We’ve been talking about intelligent buildings for more than thirty years, but now we’re seeing them actually take shape in ways we couldn’t have imagined three decades ago. Today it’s about realizing the potential of the fourth utility—information and communication technology—in revolutionizing the ways we design and build the physical spaces that surround us.
In the past, networks were designed and installed independently. This resulted in numerous overbuilds and system-wide inefficiencies. Intelligent buildings use a common network infrastructure to provide economies of scale, better management, and overall integration for organizations around the world. These new infrastructures can be deployed in a range of ways (including centralized high density, decentralized low density, or a hybrid/tiered mixed density architectures) to suit individual needs.
Digital buildings make use of existing and emerging technologies like:
- Power over Ethernet (PoE), which enables a single cable to provide both a data connection and electric power. PoE brings a range of benefits including greater flexibility, cost savings, simplicity, safety, scalability, and more.
- Digital LED Lighting powered by PoE and other edge devices. Smart lighting can help you to do things like harvest daylight, manage lights via the network, and reduce energy consumption by as much as fifty percent.
- Structured cabling provides a standardized, compartmentalized infrastructure to deliver predictable performance, maximize flexibility, reduce network redundancies, and future-proof the system.
- Automated infrastructure management overseeing every aspect of the physical layer. It offers real-time documentation, connectivity mapping, and is fully compliant with leading industry standards.
The evolution of digital buildings is something we’re incredibly excited about at Activo. Working with our customers across a range of industries (education included), we’ve seen for ourselves how digital buildings can truly transform the ways people use their networks to make their organizations more efficient, productive, and sustainable.

Digital storytelling is a modern-era way tell your story using the multi-media tools available. Digital stories generally are a mix of images, audio and video and presented on multiple platforms. Digital authors can tell their stories through such means as ebooks, blogs, PP presentations, TikTok, documentaries, and even tweets.
The 7 elements of digital storytelling are based on traditional storytelling: point of view, a dramatic question, emotional content, personal voice, soundtrack, economy of content, and pacing. Over time, the original elements have been modified to include an overall purpose for the story, clarity of the author’s voice, using meaningful audio, being cognizant of good grammar and language used, and quality visual elements. Digital storytelling has spawned new ways of thinking about how a story is told considering digital composition, digital literacy, and multimodal literacy which in turn affects how we think.
Digital storytelling is an enhanced way to tell a story. Done right, it is a better way to get the author’s thoughts across to their audience. It extends the scope and authenticity of the audience. Digital storytelling can be limited by the availability of technology. Access to resources can be a major factor in how well a storyteller gets their message across. It’s the difference between pen & paper and the printing press. The potential audience is exponentially greater than that of traditional storytelling. Today’s stories can be accessed globally in an instant on a wide variety of platforms and devices.
Digital storytelling can enhance learning. It elevates dry and oftentimes boring subject matter to a higher level of student engagement. Digital stories provide a way for the student to become a part of the story; to interact with the story and the author. This can invite active learning. A good digital story connects the author and audience. It builds a sense of community between the story teller and the listener.
Digital storytelling in the GT classroom is about using technology in a way to spark the imagination and critical thinking. In the GT classroom it transforms thinking about how a story is told to understanding why a story should be told. Digital storytelling can become an effective method for learning and using essential skills such as research, selecting resources, using technology, collaborating with peers, and how to present a story.
What are the benefits of digital storytelling for GT students? It can inspire a GT student’s thinking and writing. It explores depth and complexity. It can create a sense of community with their intellectual peers. Learning the digital storytelling process can ignite creative thinking. The digital author transform from storyteller to director and producer through critical thinking about choice of tech tools to tell their story.

Maintaining reliable air conditioning onboard with retrofitting
A marine air conditioning unit is an essential piece of equipment that’s likely to need your attention on a regular basis. Air conditioning systems also tend to be a fairly hefty investment, so you will want to make sure that your outlay pays off in the long term.
The process of retrofitting involves either:
- Upgrading an existing cooling system with new or modified parts needed to enable continual and optimal functioning
- Replacing an existing, obsolete, or irreparable system in a boat that has been previously manufactured
When air conditioners become older, they require more repairs and maintenance – often becoming somewhat of a costly burden to boat owners.
But you love your boat, and you’d do what you can to ensure you can enjoy her for as long as possible, right? If that is the case, retrofitting might be the best solution for you.
What are the main reasons why air-con retrofitting is required?
Air conditioning retrofitting is a highly recommended method to upgrade an older air conditioning system or to completely replace an aging system.
Typically, the key factors which mean you might want to consider turning to retrofitting solutions are:
- Energy efficiency – older cooling systems invariably use more energy .
- Cost effectiveness – older systems usually cost more to run, and cost more to repair.
- Longevity – aged cooling system technology won’t last forever.
- Reliability – when you need heat or cooling (which is nearly always), you want to be able to rely on your system. If it fails you, that could have serious consequences .
Are there any considerations to factor in with retrofitting air conditioning?
If you have made the bold decision to invest in retrofitting your beloved boat’s cooling system, there are a couple of things you should consider before steaming ahead with the project:
- Get an inspection of your current solution carried out by a certified technician to establish what type of retrofit is required.
- Cost vs value – decide if the cost of a full retrofit is worth the investment.
- Size of unit and parts required – Not all parts and units are manufactured at the same size as they once were. Ensure the new system’s parts fit the space available on your vessel. You should be able to discuss this during the inspection itself.
Retrofitting services by Nauticool
Nauticool can source the spare parts required for your boat’s air conditioning unit or an entirely new system, directly from the manufacturer – as well providing maintenance, servicing and advice.
Based in Poole on the beautiful Dorset coast, Nauticool is a leading supplier of air conditioning solutions for marine settings. You can trust us to supply, install and service industry leading brands, to your exact requirements.
With 19 years of industry experience, thousands of customers throughout the world rely on our advanced technologies, products, and services to improve and enhance the environments around them.


|Crawley Borough Council is urging residents to visit green spaces other than Tilgate Park in a bid to ensure social distancing.
During this period of warm weather, Tilgate Park has been extremely busy, making it difficult for visitors to socially distance.
Crawley is blessed with a wide range of green spaces across the town so the council is encouraging residents to explore somewhere different and reduce the burden on Tilgate Park and the residential streets nearby, while the car parks remain closed.
The biggest green spaces are Broadfield Park, Goffs Park, Memorial Gardens, the Mill Pond and Bewbush Water Gardens, Southgate Park, West Green Park and Worth Park. Several of these have free parking if you’re travelling by car.
In addition there are smaller parks and playing fields across the whole town. For more details on Crawley’s gardens and parks visit crawley.gov.uk/culture/parks-and-open-spaces/gardens-and-parks
All of these parks offer something different, from wildfowl on lakes, Victorian architecture and large expanses of grass.
Councillor Peter Lamb, Leader of the Council, said: “Preventing a second outbreak of Covid-19 means practicing social distancing at all times when away from home. “Current visitor numbers at Tilgate Park make enforcing social distancing impossible, which is why we are actively asking residents not to visit the park at this time.”

OUR MISSION: F.R.E.E. the captives
FIGHTING HUMAN TRAFFICKING
By engaging in the battle on multiple fronts to profoundly impact the issue
By creating 2nd-stage homes and "trauma-informed" programming for survivors coming out of partnered safe house programs
By hosting retreats to provide rest, revival and equipping for those who serve this population
By hosting men's events to build strong men and strengthen families
By hosting community events to raise awareness and to prevent exploitation
The VISION of PHF is to strengthen families and restore survivors of sex trafficking. We provide second-stage homes and programming for survivors coming out of our partnered safe house programs. With rare exceptions, survivors desperately need continued healing, restoration and personal/professional development before they are ready to confidently re-enter society. Pure Hope Foundation will continue the great care that began with our partners in first-stage safe house programs, and add a myriad of therapies and training to assist the young women in preparation to live and thrive independently.
We will host retreats to empower advocates of trafficking survivors to provide rest and equipping to continue to do the important work they are doing. Without rescuers, there is no rescue. We will also host men's events to build strong men and address the issue of trafficking at its source, rather than from a symptomatic approach. When men stand in their rightful roles, families are strengthened and children are protected.

Jointly organized by the Ministry of Commerce and the Shandong provincial government, the summit will gather leaders from Fortune 500 companies and top industrial groups to discuss how to strengthen cooperation.
The "tailor-made" summit for leaders of multinational corporations is a declaration of a new pattern of all-round opening up, said Qian Keming, vice-minister of commerce.
He said that building a high-level platform for dialogue between transnational corporations and the political and academic circles will further expand understanding, increase mutual trust, and broaden cooperation.
The summit includes a series of activities such as closed-door meetings, parallel forums, multinational corporation road shows, promotion events and exhibitions.
The Chinese government will announce new policies and collect opinions from participating companies during the meetings regarding the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law, customs clearance facilitation, and the protection of intellectual property.
"China will provide more investment opportunities for multinational companies, and create an investment environment that is more stable, fair, transparent, and predictable," said Qian.
A total of 188 senior executives from Fortune 500 companies and top industrial groups from 26 countries and regions have confirmed their participation in the summit, said Ren Airong, vice-governor of Shandong province.
Ren said that the permanent settlement of the summit in Qingdao will bring great opportunities for the city's development.

Children diagnosed with ADHD will most likely carry the disorder with them into their adult life. Many individuals misinterpret an adult individual with ADHD. ADHD is not a common disorder among adults; most people consider ADHD a disorder that only occurs in children. Individuals with ADHD may be misunderstood by others and are considered as having behavioral problems instead of relating it to ADHD.
Adults have several responsibilities to take care of and adults with ADHD have difficulty with a number of things including paying bills on time, meeting work deadlines, and having good relationships with family members, loved ones, and co-workers. There are symptoms of ADHD that cannot be understood by normal individuals.
Having ADHD can make common, daily tasks difficult to complete. However, if an ADHD adult seeks medical support and therapy, then things can be handled accordingly. There are several tips that ADHD adults can utilize to manage their symptoms and live normally.
In order to manage ADHD, it is important to understand what ADHD is and how it can affect the life of a particular individual. The symptoms of ADHD can hinder the daily living of an individual. Impulsiveness, inattention, and lack of focus are symptoms that may not be acceptable to most individuals. Luckily, there are some techniques to manage these symptoms. These techniques will be helpful in managing the symptoms of ADHD; however, self-motivation and patience is important in order to achieve your goals.
Stress management and remaining positive is beneficial. This can be promoted by simply eating foods that will lessen the occurrence of stress and help improve mood. Most ADHD individuals are stressed because of the persistent delays in work, which makes one tired after long hours. As a result, there is a tendency of eating unhealthy foods which do not help to reduce stress. It is important to eat small meals and to avoid foods that have high sugar contents. Also, regularly exercising is beneficial since it can promote proper blood circulation in the body and will increase oxygen to the brain. Both of these will help decrease the occurrence of ADHD symptoms. Lastly, getting enough sleep each night will also be beneficial. Disturbed sleep will cause an increase in the occurrence of ADHD symptoms. In order to get enough sleep, you should avoid drinking caffeinated drinks. Taking warm showers before going to sleep will help to relax your body and mind. Following these tips will help reduce stress and prevent the symptoms of ADHD from occurring.
Organization problems are also a common issue for ADHD individuals. Getting organized will be helpful. Learning to organize objects inside your room, home, and office can be a good start. Sort out the things that you need and the things that you don’t need. Also, making a list of all of the things that you need will be beneficial. 40 mg vyvanse

Today, banks are stepping forward, admitting to potentially mis-selling payment protection insurance (PPI) to consumers, and offering to provide financial compensation for such claims. By many estimates, PPI costs the financial institutions as much as £300 a month. For those individuals who may have been a victim mis-sold PPI policies, it’s important to seek out the financial compensation owed to you. You cannot just wait for it to arrive, but rather must file a claim.
Which Banks Are Issuing PPI Claims Compensation?
Thus far, a number of larger and small lenders are providing assurances and compensation for PPI mis-selling claims. This includes Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Santander – some of the largest in the area. Many of these companies have put aside hundreds of millions of pounds for such claims. Some reports indicate expectations of more than £30 billion in payouts over time. In many ways, these claims have historic significance in terms of potential reimbursements.
Though PPI has been around for some time, it hasn’t been well known in terms of the mis-sold claims until more recently. New claims are coming in, due in part to additional publicity on the risks and negligence in selling these policies. However, there are limits on when individuals can file claims. The Financial Conduct Authority has introduced a deadline of August of 2019 as a time when individuals must file their PPI claims if they hope to obtain compensation. When all is said and done, claims may reach as much as £50 billion.
What Is the Underlying Problem Here?
When it comes to understanding the risk in PPI policies, consumers must take the time to understand how they work. These policies were designed to provide financial compensation to borrowers for instances in which they couldn’t make their loan repayments due to illnesses, injuries, or job loss. Terms for them differed from one organisation to the next, but what makes these plans so worrisome is that many lenders and their brokers persuaded or mis-led consumers into taking them, whether or not they made sense for individual borrowers or offered any real benefit.
After years of sales, regulators have found many lenders sold these policies to those who didn’t need them. The Financial Conduct Authority claims that as many as 64 million policies were issued to about 30 million consumers between 1990 and 2010, many of which were sold in a less-than-desirable manner. In 2011, lenders lost a court ruling, and this is where many of these claims arise. It’s important to note that when the initial court filings occurred, it was thought these claims would top £4.5 billion. Obviously, the claims have surpassed that amount significantly. Thus, the filing date was put in place to stem a continuous flow of such claims.
Little doubt exists that those who took out such policies didn’t recognise their opportunities and limitations. More so, claims of mis-sold policies continue to become evident as more people learn about them and realise they have them, with some borrowers having no prior knowledge of the sale at all. Funds set aside by the big lenders can help to cushion the blow to consumers who need to recoup some of their lost funds.

Snowstorm hits displaced persons camps in Syria: ‘They have been completely cut off from the world’
Northern Syria was hit by heavy snowfall on January 18, causing significant damage to at least 47 camps for displaced persons. Videos shared online show camps in the districts of Afrin and Azaz covered in snow. Three children have reportedly died and roads have been blocked by snow, further threatening aid to the vulnerable sites.
Several regions in northern Aleppo governorate, near the border with Turkey, have been impacted by below-freezing temperatures, resulting in significant snowfall the evening of January 18. Camps for displaced persons were covered in a blanket of snow, and many tents collapsed under the weight of the snow.

Since 2011, nearly 3 million have been displaced by conflict to northwest Syria, which is controlled by Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces. More than 1.7 million of them are living in crowded, informal camps or unfinished buildings. Many of the temporary shelters in these camps had no roof or insulation or had already been damaged by natural disasters.
Winter storms like this are rare in the region and temperatures are expected to drop lower than they have in 40 years to -14 degrees Celsius, according to the NGO CARE International.

At least 362 tents in 31 sites were damaged and over 2,000 individuals were affected, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The office also received reports that a child was killed in Qastal Miqdad after a tent’s roof collapsed under the snow. Others were hospitalised for severe drops in body temperature.
People attempted to clear the snow off the tents that were still standing.
‘Some camps were almost engulfed in snow’
Ahmad Nahal is a field coordinator for Molham Team, an NGO that assists displaced populations in Syria. He told the FRANCE 24 Observers team how the weather has affected vulnerable people in the north of the country:
The snowstorm hit several camps in northeastern Syria, including Azaz and Afrin. About 47 camps hosting 50,000 refugees were damaged, Bilal and Ainjara camps in Azaz, and Abrar and Mabatli camps in Afrin.
The snowfall started at around 8pm and continued for five hours. Some camps were almost engulfed in snow. In the camps, people are lacking everything. They don't have electricity or heating, and there are not enough blankets.
Syria Civil Defence and NGOs went to the camps to help the refugees. Families whose tents were destroyed were housed in mosques and schools.
'The families feel abandoned now'
Qusai Al Shabeeb is a Syrian activist and journalist who has been sharing videos from displaced persons camps on his TikTok page. He visited several camps in northern Syria to document the conditions.
It stopped snowing today [January 20], but the camps are still covered with a large amount of snow for the third day because of the snowstorm. I visited two camps today, Shiran and Al Kastal camps near Afrin. It was difficult to reach these camps because of the snow but I was able to take some photos of the Shiran camp with a drone.
About 30 families live in this camp and they have been completely cut off from the world. The snowfall has a horrible impact on life in the camps. People living there have no fridges to store their food so they usually go shopping every day. But now it’s impossible to go shopping in town. But people adapt to life with the snow. Today I met a woman from the Al Kastal camp who told me that her family has to eat the snow because the roads to go shopping are cut off. She melts the snow to use as drinking water or for bathing.
There are also safety problems. Children have fallen down because of the snow and today I met a man who fell and got seriously injured outside his tent. He is already disabled and walks with crutches. Today, before I left I noticed that the families had started to move children and the elderly to neighbouring villages of the camp to avoid them spending another night in the freezing weather.
The families feel abandoned now with the lack of medical services and water and food in the camps.
Aid groups have begun mobilising to clear the roads and provide people in the camps with fuel, food and blankets. They are also concerned with flood risks once the snow melts.

Efforts to stay warm have also proved dangerous. Two children died in a camp north of Aleppo following a fire in their tent caused by a heater, CNN reported.
More than 6.7 million people in Syria have been internally displaced by a civil war in the country that has raged since 2011. Another 6.8 million live as refugees in other countries such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.


A Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Agriculture and Forest Sector is being developed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM). A public consultation process is ongoing and DAFM are inviting written submissions. [Update: submission deadline has now passed].
Submissions received will help to inform the completion of this sectoral plan in the coming months.

Following article published with kind permission by The Poynter Institute: http://www.poynter.org/2016/a-new-website-in-northern-ireland-hopes-fact-checking-will-be-a-tool-for-reconciliation/405829/
by Alexios Mantzarlis (11 April 2016)
It is but one of many physical barriers that separate contiguous Catholic- and Protestant-populated neighborhoods in the western part of the city: In this case Shankill Ward (85 percent Protestant, per the 2011 census) and Falls Ward (88 percent Catholic).
Almost 20 years have gone by since the Good Friday Agreement put an end to the worst of the sectarian violence that blighted Northern Ireland. Yet barriers remain, both physical and intangible.
This is the environment within which FactCheckNI, a joint initiative of the Northern Ireland Foundation and Transformative Connections, launched on April 7. FactCheckNI is currently funded until the end of the year, but its founders hope the experience in these months will be positive and lead to a continuation of the project beyond 2016.
By providing objective, fact-based analyses devoid of partisanship, the nascent initiative aims to be a dispassionate arbiter in a landscape traditionally fractured along ideological lines.
Historically, print media consumption in Northern Ireland was connected to religious affiliation. The Belfast Telegraph and the News Letter were the newspapers of choice of the Protestant population while the Irish News predominantly catered to Catholic readers.
According to Maggie Swarbrick, the course director of the M.A. in Journalism at Ulster University, television news has tried to remain impartial, while it is “harder to quantify the religious breakdown of the consumers of less traditional media.”
Peace is one of the four themes that FactCheckNI monitors, alongside crime, the economy and Europe. One of the first fact checks on the site examined community support for the so-called “peace walls” that separate many neighborhoods.
Viral memes carrying misleading information are a problem across the globe, but they can be particularly pernicious in a combustible political environment like Northern Ireland’s. The raising or burning of flags in the province can stoke serious tensions — even if these images are actually of flags being burned in other parts of the world. Beyond correcting the record, simple tools like reverse image search can therefore help avoid violence.
For this reason, FactCheckNI will also be providing interactive fact-checking training sessions to communities across the province, led by Enda Young, a mechanical engineer turned conflict mediator, who is the co-founder of Transformative Connections.
Although it confines its efforts to Northern Ireland, FactCheckNI has benefited from the increasing collaboration among fact-checkers worldwide. Young and his wife Orna, a community-based researcher, attended last year’s Global Fact-Checking Summit in London and view it as a form of “crash course” that helped them focus on the practical steps involved in launching a fact-checking project.
Also fundamental for FactCheckNI’s launch was support from Full Fact: The London-based fact-checking organization provided training and a template the Northern Irish project could build upon. Like Full Fact, FactCheckNI’s fact checks tend to be brief and avoid a rating system.
Allan Leonard, the managing director of the Northern Ireland Foundation, stresses the importance of FactCheckNI’s own correction policy as a tool to build trust. Any correction to the fact-checkers’ own work will be visibly marked with a red triangle at the top of the fact check through which readers will also be able to access the original version.
As with many fact-checking organizations, FactCheckNI hopes to spur corrections but also foster a culture of critical thinking that transcends political preferences.
But will any of it make a difference? The day after FactCheckNI’s launch, local comedian Tim Mc Garry ironically alluded at the hurdles the fact-checkers will need to overcome.
What the organization is able to achieve could provide lessons for fact-checkers in other post-conflict societies where “them” versus “us” remains the operative distinction.
Alexios Mantzarlis joined Poynter to lead the International Fact-Checking Network in September of 2015. He previously served as Managing Editor of Pagella Politica and FactCheckEU, respectively Italy’s main political fact-checking website and the EU’s first multilingual crowd-checking project. He has presented fact-checking segments on Italian TV and led seminars on fact-checking around the world. Before becoming a fact-checker he worked for the United Nations and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies.

Nearly a year ago, the Interior community of Galena was submerged in the rising water of the Yukon River that swept through the town, destroying homes and displacing residents. This year, spring breakup is already underway, and residents are breathing a sigh of relief as flooding dangers appear minimal. The community is now looking forward to rebuilding this summer as hundreds of volunteers prepare to cycle through the town to aid reconstruction efforts.
The Interior community was washed away after the Yukon River crested its banks on May 27 last year and flooded the town. Nearly every structure in the city was damaged by the floodwaters and massive chunks of ice that smashed into homes, leaving roughly 500 residents displaced and seeking shelter in a community accessible only by air or boat. State officials called the Yukon River flood -- in which eight communities faced flood damages -- the worst natural disaster in Alaska for decades.
But the risk of Yukon flooding appears far lower this year. Hydrologist Ed Plumb with the National Weather Service River Watch has been flying river for two days, and he was on the ground in Galena on Wednesday.
Spring breakup is "completely different from last year," he said. Last year, a "dynamic breakup" occurred, during which a large ice front moved downstream, forcing ice to fissure and crack as the front pushed down the river. A cold spring followed by a rapid warmup left ice intact, which then caused a jam about 25 miles downriver from Galena, in turn causing the river to crest its banks and gush into town, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesperson for the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
This year has seen a "thermal breakup" in which multiple areas of the river melted at once, Plumb said. Now, the ice is all "very rotten, thin-looking and weak" and is lingering because water levels are low, so ice isn't being pushed downstream.
Along the Yukon, from Stevens Village to Kaltag, the water level is so low there are exposed sand bars, Plumb said. Minor flooding in Circle occurred Tuesday, according to the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's Twitter feed, but the flood warning had expired on Wednesday afternoon.
Because the flood risk appears low in Galena, residents are looking forward. Galena resident Eric Huntington wrote that he was excited for the summer, which will see the return of the Yukon 800 boat race that bypassed Galena last year, as well as the annual baseball tournament. Huntington is busy helping his father construct a new five-sided log cabin after his home was lost to the flood, and Huntington is working on his own property, too.
"At this time, though, I'm more concerned about the hunting and fishing seasons than the reconstruction." Huntington wrote. "This past winter was difficult on many of us, even with the donated fish and moose meat. It was a financial and emotional drain. Hopefully this year we'll regain our independence, bring back some families and elders that wintered in the cities or other villages."
About 55 residents stayed outside of the community this winter, Zidek said.
For Jennifer Hildebrand, this summer offers a fresh start. Hildebrand's house sat submerged in water for six weeks after the flood, and after months of frustrating back-and-forth with FEMA, the community came together to demolish and rebuild her home.
Hildebrand, who moved into a newly-constructed home last month, bubbled with excitement on Wednesday. "I'm so happy to be back in the neighborhood. The kids are happy," she said. Now she can "hop and skip to work again," she said.
Her new home was built on the same property, but the three-bedroom house is raised up on pilings around 138 feet above base flood elevation. Her house, constructed with the help of the Cold Climate Housing Research Center in Fairbanks, is far more energy efficient than her previous home, too, she said.
This winter Hildebrand and her two children lived with her mother for several months, and then in an apartment that was paid for by the state. She's excited to regain to a sense of normalcy. One of the first days in her new home, she returned in the evening to find 10 kids out on her deck, roasting hot dogs and hanging out. "Oh my God, I was so happy," she said.
She feels a sense of relief with the risk of flooding so low. But "there's still like, anxiety," Hildebrand said, "just knowing the possibilities now."
Galena Mayor Jon Korta said there was "heightened anxiety for sure coming into breakup this year," he said, but now, the risks appear to have subsided. The community, state and FEMA have already resumed construction that tapered off over the winter.
For Steve Erickson, whose home was flooded within minutes after water started rushing into town, this summer's focus will be on building a new home. Materials were heading to Galena via barge on Wednesday, and the pilings would be going into the ground soon, he said. He and his wife Pat Erickson will be rebuilding to six-star energy efficiency. "We might as well do it right if we're going to do it," he said.
Speaking from Anchorage, Diemont said that around 250 volunteers will cycle through the community this summer from both the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission and Samaritan's Purse. The $3.4 million responder's camp set up last year is being expanded to hold more beds to accommodate the influx.
On the docket this summer are major repairs to 25 homes and construction of eight new homes. Nine homes still need to be demolished, Diemont said. Individual assistance for private residences has totaled roughly $2.3 million, and the city will be reimbursed $3.6 million by the federal and state governments for repairs already made, with more money coming this summer, Diemont said.
The short-term focus is returning displaced residents to their homes. Homes will be elevated out of harm's way, up past last year's flood level. A contractor working on the ground in Galena estimates he can elevate 60 homes this summer, Korta said. "That will go a long way toward future flooding events."
On Monday, the community was approved for $1.7 million in federal and state hazard mitigation funding to elevate residences. Homes must be raised up at least 136.5 feet above base flood elevation to qualify, according to Zidek.
Another major project is getting the power plant back up to speed. The city will install more efficient generators, and work to improve waste heat lines this summer, Korta said.
Galena still needs to address future evacuation and shelter plans should another emergency occur. "Honestly, we weren't as prepared as we would like to be. Even a year later, there's things we need to address in the community," Korta said. "Sometimes you need an event like this to find out where your gaps are."
Meanwhile, the city's swimming pool was being refilled on Wednesday for the first time since the flood. The pool is a mainstay for youth and adults alike in the community.
Over the long term, the community is seeking to make energy efficiency upgrades on the Galena Interior Learning Academy boarding school and city buildings. "The bottom line is we want to make our community better, we don't want to put it back the way it was," Korta said. "Those things take time to do but we believe they're the right things to do."
While the timeframe may be longer, it'll be worth it, he said.

Fishing and hunting are two simple words but they describe the passion of millions. Montana is a hunting and fishing paradise.
Hunt elk, whitetail or mule deer, bear or cougar in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, antelope on short-grass prairies, upland birds in the foothills and moose in the low bogs of our rugged mountains. When it comes to wildlife diversity and hunting opportunities, Montana has something to satisfy everyone.
The Historic Tamarack Lodge works directly with local guides enabling us to offer fishing trips and hunting packages to our guests. Ask us about our great rates for a once in a lifetime experience!
If 3 and 9 day hunting and fishing packages are a bit overwhelming, you can always take a guided “raft and fish” day or half day package, or just stay at the lodge and go fishing or hunting on your own schedule. We are surrounded by the National Forest and many people come simply to explore the area on their own.
The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks regulate and manage fishing and hunting throughout Montana. Licenses are available from their offices and at most local sporting good stores. Fishing and hunting licenses are not available from the Forest Service.
Nearby Hungry Horse Dam is located on the South Fork of the Flathead River about 15 miles south of the west entrance to Glacier National Park and 20 miles northeast of Kalispell, Montana . The reservoir is about 34 miles long and its 23,800 acres offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, water skiing and swimming. Available fish species are cutthroat trout, bull trout and whitefish. The surrounding mountains are popular big game hunting areas and several of the smaller tributaries have their headwaters in nearby alpine lakes. The area is managed by the Flathead National Forest.

The manner in which the Asskickers suddenly popped up nearly full-grown is just like the volunteer sunflower that springs to life seemingly overnight in a neglected section of the garden. Their wispy pedal-steel guitar and easy country twang might remind you of the band onstage at the basic C&W tavern in your very own town. Here, the Asskickers frame a series of poignant yet funny vignettes about those who inhabit The Other Side of Town, which if a town has a railroad, is always to be found on the wrong side of the tracks. These are genuinely funny songs about the small lives of a small community’s misfits, the sort of people that city fathers might pretend don’t exist. Populating a land of small opportunity with scant promise for improvement, all are social outcasts. Most are merely people down on their luck who are driven to collective distraction in their desperation to survive in or escape from the small hick one-horse country town they call home.
Sometimes the only way out of the “One Horse Town” is to imagine what a bigger town might offer. Small towns can sometimes seem unbearably stultifying, and the claustrophobia they generate can even extend into the surrounding countryside where “all these trees keep closing in”.
Farther back in the hills, people once actually made a living of sorts from the forest. The next song “Trees” is dedicated to “Butterfly”. That is, Julia “Butterfly” Hill, the tree-hugger who spent two years hanging out in an old-growth redwood tree to protest the rapacious habits of lumber companies. With the rural areas increasingly overrun by environmentalist types, now the lumberjack is considered outre even in a tree-filled territory. Because mills are closing as unprofitable, many who once had work in the lumber industry are hoping to move over to the better-paying positions the new economy has created in new careers that promise real job security, such as becoming policemen or prison guards. Still, there is a reminder of unforgotten social tensions broiling: “Ain’t no trust-fund hippie / And I didn’t spend my youth eating LSD / And I don’t drive an SUV / I cut down trees”.
Not much in the way of economic opportunity on the other side of town, the employment situation is always uniformly bleak. Now that the K-Mart’s gone bust, there’s not even calling out a blue light special as a way to make a living, which might mean resorting to the red light special and possible employment in another position offered by the new economy, as an Internet sex worker (“Porno Queen”).
Those who were fortunate enough to ever hold a job in the first place at least can get a small benefit check from the government when they’re laid off, as they inevitably are. But trying to find work where there is none is sometimes more of a waste of time than daytime television watching. “The EDD’s been paying me / To sit around and watch TV / Joe Brown and Judge Judy”. The “Springer Show” gives a glimpse of both who was on and who was watching the The Jerry Springer Show. The television show, while genuinely horrifying, frames stories about everything. Social scholars might say the show is beneficial because it demystifies the variety of the human condition with candor, although that form of diversity and frankness certainly has a downside. Apparently, sometimes the show works to ameliorate isolation, allowing the viewer to feel like less of a freak and more like a regular human being, especially when compared to some of the guests: “I may not be much of a man / But I ain’t no midget in the Ku Klux Klan / Like those freaks / On the Springer Show”.
Always irreverent, the Asskickers remind us who might inhabit the other side of town. There’s “Wide Eye Leroy”, the speed freak who’s been steadily mething up his life since he was fourteen and cooks meth as naturally as other people cook dinner. With “Cooking Chicken”, the Asskickers manage to put the glitterpunk back in punkabilly. “Cooking Chicken” is about an unlikely character named Bobby, who is a drag-queen kid in a rodeo. “Dressing up in women’s clothes is a whole lot harder than riding bulls / Criticized and ostracized / Kids they can be so cruel”. The story also outlines a humorous lack of understanding between generations. While Grandma’s in the kitchen cooking up chicken, and Bobby’s plucking his eyebrows getting ready to go, Grandpa merely doesn’t understand kids these days.
The Asskickers kick out C&W-style songs about the usual C&W range of topics, including hard drinking (“Goddamn Bad”), dang dogs (“Punk Rock Dawg”), and broken hearts (“24 Hours”), but it’s “24 Hours” that prove that the Asskickers can deliver a genuine country weeper.
Moving through the environment of 13 songs, somehow we end up pretty much exactly where we started out on The Other Side of Town. The final song reprises the theme of the first cut, though the frustration has notched up into a steady state of being downright pissed-off with what passes for life here. If you can get a job, that job will suck, so still dreaming up a way to leave, too. “Lottery” (dedicated to the Colusa Casino and Bingo Parlor) is easily 20 times better than “Take This Job and Shove It”, but you won’t hear this on too many C&W radio stations, and the Asskickers play it like they really mean it. If you’ve ever worked in a job that was stealing your soul (and who hasn’t?), you’ll like this song.
The Asskickers and their gifted songwriter/singer Bob Howard popped up very nearly in my own backyard. Don’t know how they’ll play in your town, but slip this disc in for one of your redneck friends and see what happens.

Have you tried bubble mask before? This is my first bubble mask, it's called Skinlite Clean & Bright Oxygen Bubble Mask Peach (origin from Korea), I got it from Sasa 3 packs for RM10.00 during promotion (normal price at RM6.90).
This is what the packaging look like... did you notice actually it's 2 treatments?
Description on packaging...
Description on the packing:
Skinlite Clean & Bright Oxygen Bubble Mask PEACH immediately turns oxygen-rich foam, revitalizing skin
with oxygen as it deep-cleanses, exfoliates, and massages skin. The oxygen foam deeply penetrates into skin to eliminate pore-clogging impurities, blackheads, and dead skin cells, while it helps brighten uneven skin tones. Peach extract moisturize and re-illuminates dull skin. Papaya, green tea and bamboo extract leave skin soft and supple.
Instruction on the packing:
1. Open sachet and apply mask to dry face with dry hands evenly over face. avoiding eyes and lips. (*make sure dry your face and hands. Wet skin may prevent the mask from lathering up)
2. Leave until mask lathers up.
3. Massage gently with fingertips for 30-60 seconds to cleanse.
4. Wash off with lukewarm water and tone skin.
Okay....let's move on for the review. Teared out the sachet into half follow the line, second half treatment can store away for next use (don't worry to tear as it's pre-sealed for both treatments, just tear follow the line).
Squeeze out the content...
The content was very little unlike other usual wash off mask, I was worried whether it is enough to cover my whole face - I have never use this type of mask before and never seen this little content of liquid mask before, well turn out it's enough to cover my whole face. The color is white and consistency glue like. Have a nice and light peach scent.
Once applied to dry face, the mask slowly lather up... tiny bubbles building up and it's amazing and fun to watch.
After leaving the bubbles on my face for a few minutes, I massage then washed my face with lukewarm water. I noticed my face was brighter and supple; feels slightly tight. I really like this mask, I didn't expect it to be this good since I didn't put much expectation on this mask since it is very cheap.
What I like about this mask:
- Brighten my face.
- Skin feels clean, supple and soft.
- Nice light peach scent.
What I don't like about this mask:
- Skin feels slightly tight after use (not sure this is con or pro, could be pro due to green tea ingredient can tighten skin).
Ingredients contained perfume. Prefer natural ingredient for the scent of peach.
Overall this is still a good mask. However there is a caution on the packing that this mask should not be on blemishes, pimples, irritated or sunburned skin. I have a few pimples, I think it's fine and I found no irritation after using this mask. If you have a very sensitive skin you might want to try it out at a small part of your skin. From the same range of mask they have Blueberry as well which I will review next. Basically the Peach one moisturized and re-illuminates dull skin and the Blueberry one combats skin aging. Stay tunes for next review :)

[en] The use of increased sensitivity and temporal resolution at mm-wavelengths has revealed a number of novel features associated with solar activity. Of particular interest are the ultra-fast time structures superimposed on impulsive bursts. They are distinguished by time scales and repetition rates much shorter than the impulsive time scales. (Auth.)
[en] A fast-hopping 3-band (mode 1) multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband frequency synthesizer is presented. This synthesizer uses two phase-locked loops for generating steady frequencies and one quadrature single-sideband mixer for frequency shifting and quadrature frequency generation. The generated carriers can hop among 3432 MHz, 3960 MHz, and 4488 MHz. Implemented in a 0.13 μm CMOS process, this fully integrated synthesizer consumes 27 mA current from a 1.2 V supply. Measurement shows that the out-of-band spurious tones are below -50 dBc, while the in-band spurious tones are below -34 dBc. The measured hopping time is below 2 ns. The core die area is 1.0 x 1.8 mm2.
[en] The development of a one gigawatt, high current relativistic klystron tube is underway for producing one microsecond long, 1.3 GHz microwave pulses at a 5 Hz pulse repetition frequency. This paper describes the theory, modeling, and experimental development of the microwave tube. The one microsecond pulse length is almost an order of magnitude beyond what has been achieved with a high current relativistic klystron. Achieving a peak power approaching 1 GW for 1 μs requires a stable electron beam on that time scale, and an optimized extraction efficiency in the output cavity. The microwave tube design was guided by theory and particle-in-cell code modeling that relate output cavity extraction efficiency to the amplitude of the beam harmonic current modulation and output cavity shunt impedance. Current experimental results are presented. The 1 MV, 10 kA, 1μs pulse length, 5 Hz pulse-repetition-rate pulsed power modulator used to power the relativistic klystron is also described. 4 figs., 6 refs
[en] The dielectric constant and the loss angle in the (111) direction of CdTe at room temperature between 65 and 75 GHz have been determined. The results are compared to those of other authors and discussed. Problems of sample preparation are dealt with. (G.Q.)
[en] We propose a tunable flat-top broadband defect mode in the terahertz (THz) frequency range by inserting multiple defects into a periodic waveguide with undulated tube walls. When introducing a defect into periodic structures, we can achieve a defect mode with a very sharp transmission peak in the forbidden band due to the local resonance effect. Here, in the proposed multi-defect structure, we find a broadband defect mode with a bandwidth of 38.3 GHz appearing in the transmission spectrum, which is over 21 times that of the traditional defect mode. The simulations reveal that the broadband defect mode is caused by the competition between Bragg scattering and local resonances in multiple defect mode coupling. The bandwidth and center frequency of this broadband defect mode can be manipulated by altering the number and size of defects, which could be applied in various THz systems as functional devices. (paper)
[en] In this paper, based on rotation phase-gradient principle, a single-layer, high-efficiency transmitting metasurface is designed and applied to high-gain antenna. In the case of circularly polarized incident wave, the PCR (polarization conversions ratio) of the metasurface element is greater than 90% in the band of 9.11–10.48 GHz. The transmitting wave emerges an anomalous refraction when left-handed circularly polarized wave are incident perpendicularly to the 1D phase-gradient metasurface, which is composed of cycle arrangement of 6 units with step value of 30°. The simulated anomalous refraction angle is 40.1°, coincided with the theoretical design value (40.6°). For further application, the 2D focused metasurface is designed to enhance the antenna performance while the left-handed circularly polarized antenna is placed at the focus. The simulated max gain is increased by 12 dB (182%) and the half-power beamwidth is reduced by 74.6°. The measured results are coincided with the simulations, which indicates the antenna has high directivity. The designed single-layer transmission metasurface has advantages of thin thickness (only 1.5 mm), high efficiency and light weight, and will have important application prospects in polarization conversion and beam control. (paper)
[en] In this paper we discuss the linearity response of the Planck-LFI receivers, with particular reference to signal compression measured on the 30 and 44 GHz channels. In the article we discuss the various sources of compression and present a model that accurately describes data measured during tests performed with individual radiomeric chains. After discussing test results we present the best parameter set representing the receiver response and discuss the impact of non linearity on in-flight calibration, which is shown to be negligible.

|Roy Lichtenstein. Crying Girl. 1963.|
“There is a name for these Americans who fly in the face of harmony and good taste. Pop art, it’s called (…). Pop art originates in pamphlets, in provocation, in poetry. It hurls a curse, and calls down insult and contempt upon itself in return.”
—Marcel Broodthaers, responding to works at Galerie Ileana Sonnabend, Paris, 1963
Alden Projects™ (Booth 1.04) presents “Provocation and Poetry: The Curse of Pop,” a gathering of works re-conjuring the early poetics of provocation in first generation Pop. This booth brings together early, seminal curses of Pop, including Lichtenstein’s Crying Girl (a 1963 print of an image purloined from a comic book) and Warhol’s Soup Can (represented here in a vintage flyer from Irving Blum Gallery, Los Angeles and hung on a shelf) and other, later poetically inspired curses too. Artists include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marcel Broodthaers, Jenny Holzer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Allan Saret and Andy Warhol.
With the triumph of Ileana Sonnabend’s Pop at auction today, it is easy to forget the original spells that these works cast on their earliest audience. Seeing American Pop at Sonnabend, Broodthaers—up until then, a poet—was inspired to change professions on a dime. This was a “point of departure, the shock that led me to go as far as to make my own works.” This detour is reflected here in Marcel Broodthaers’ founding, artistic manifesto printed on pages clipped from a Belgian, ladies’ fashion magazine. This ground zero declaration by Broodthaers consecrates his first works with “the idea of inventing something insincere,” a transmogrification that turned significantly on the curse also being…in the purse.

His opponent, Earle Schecter, is a hot mess as evidenced by his turning an education town hall in a school into a political campaign event. That’s a no-no.
Consider that Schecter is a NYC Democrat who moved to NC in 2010 with no political experience.
Are You Ready For Earle? Hell. No.
The Cabarrus Conservative Alliance has endorsed Pittman. See below.

Several weeks ago, I reported on a “townhall” that was held at Cox Mills High in Cabarrus county. That “townhall” included political candidates, one of which made a political speech. That candidate is Earle Schecter, the NY transplant running as a Democrat against incumbent Larry Pittman. State Superintendent and CCSSO President, June Atkinson, was also present but Rep. Larry Pittman confirmed to me that he was not informed of this event. I asked the question, was this a Democrat campaign event or a townhall?
The answer is a bit of both.
I’ve received official word from both Cabarrus County Schools AND the Cabarrus Democrat Party. Let’s run this down in order. Continue reading
In the May agenda notes from the State Board of Education meeting on May 1st, the activities section for the State Superintendent did not include the “Town Hall“, which more like a campaign event, held at Cox Mills High School. … Continue reading
On Saturday, April 26th, I reported that the Cabarrus Republican party had issued a resolution condemning two candidates. One was Leigh Brown, who is challenging Rep. Larry Pittman for his seat at the NC General Assembly. The other is Diane Honeycutt, running for County Commissioner.
On April 27th, the Cabarrus Conservative Alliance came out backing the Cabarrus Republican party’s resolution in an open letter to voters. Continue reading

Residents of three Evanston subdivisions were evacuated Saturday afternoon as flames from a man-caused fire crept near houses on the southwest side of town.
The fire started at 1 p.m. in a subdivision and was "definitely not (caused by) lightning," said Dick Salmela, assistant Evanston fire chief. "It came awful close" to houses, Salmela said. "I understand it had actually melted some siding on some houses."Dozens of residents were evacuated to a recreation center, while firefighting crews from Evanston and Uinta County volunteer fire departments battled the blaze for 31/2 hours.
The fire destroyed a building on the hillside used by local ham radio operators. It damaged a repeater used for Uinta County communications and burned several acres of brush.
Chevron, USA, Inc. donated a helicopter to assist in surveying the fire lines. The fire cut a visible scar in the hillside, as the smell of charred brush filtered through the southwest Wyoming community.
"Normally, especially when it's this close to town, we'd use three pumpers and it would take one hour" to put out, said Salmela. "With the brush as dry as it was and the wind, we couldn't get a head on it."
Because of dry conditions, Saturday's fire required the use of two dozen trucks to contain. "We almost burned up one truck there," Salmela said.
Hot spots were still flaring at dusk. One road grader rolled over on the hillside while attempting to snuff remaining hot spots. The driver was uninjured.
Nearby residents who weren't evacuated sat on porches, nursing cold drinks, and marveled as the wind whipped the flames closer to homes.

The poems, essays, and artworks included in this anthology explore the habits and practices formed to subvert, subsist, and survive under capital. Is there refuge in ritual?
Author: Bard Graduate Center Bard Graduate Center
Category: American Literature
"Ritual and Capital is an expansive volume gathering a range of voices, accounts, and contributions across genres. The poems, essays, and artworks included in this anthology explore the habits and practices formed to subvert, subsist, and survive under capital. Is there refuge in ritual? How might ritual practices endow objects and artifacts with qualities that resist their assimilation within the market? What function can movement rituals have for embodying practices of healing and care? How does ritual strengthen and solidify communities? In what ways have ritual practices turned the landscape of the everyday into a playground for consumption, where ritual enables the reproduction of structures of capital? What is the function of ritual as it challenges or facilitates the activities of capital in everyday life on global and local scales? Ritual and Capital was developed to culminate a series of public readings organized by Wendy's Subway as part of the non-profit organization's Spring 2016 Reading Room residency at the Bard Graduate Center. Co-published by the Bard Graduate Center and Wendy's Subway, Ritual and Capital is the first title in the BGCX series, a publication series designed to extend the learning period around time-based programming so that it may continue after the events themselves have ended. Taking the spontaneous alchemy of conversation, performance, and hands-on engagement as their starting points, these experimental publishing projects provide space for continued reflection and research in a form that is particularly inclusive of artists and makers. Contributors include Jeff Alessandrelli and Amy Lawless, Mitch Anzuoni, Justin Blinder, Catherine Chen, Jackie Clark, DJ Ashtrae, Ted Dodson, Shou Jie Eng, Future Host, Jeremy Hoevenaar, Mia Kang, Josef Kaplan, Rebecca Keith, Matthew Kosinski, Krystal Languell, Matt Longabucco, Cameron Quan Louie, Miranda Mellis, Feliz Lucia Molina, Devin N.
