Pilots are allowed to fly in storms as long as the storm is within legal and safe parameters.
How Do Tropical Storms Form?
Tropical storms start in regions such as Africa, travel eastward, and then move towards the US. These storms create rain bands that cause flooding and damage to homes.
There are about 40,000 thunderstorms in a day. These storms are associated with heavy rain, strong wind and severe turbulence. When we see these three conditions, we know that there will be a thunderstorm.
Pilots keep passengers safe by flying them over bad weather. During bad weather, pilots fly planes low enough to avoid turbulence and high enough to stay out of clouds.
Pilots also use instruments such as altimeters and airspeed indicators to help determine how fast they’re going.
Takeoff And Landing In Hurricane Winds
Hurricanes are extremely dangerous storms that require careful consideration. Pilots must avoid them by staying away from the storm.
When there are no storms near, airlines allow flights to fly. However, when a category five hurricane is nearby, airlines do not allow planes to fly.
Flying In And Around Hurricane Activity
Hurricanes are powerful storms that can cause damage and destruction. Flying over a hurricane is safe because it’s usually above the eye of the storm and there is less turbulence.
Lightning strikes near an airplane are dangerous because the plane is close to the ground. Pilots need to stay away from lightning during storms.
Pilots don’t need to worry about the weather anymore because they can use radar to see storms coming up ahead of time.
But they still shouldn’t fly recklessly, even if there aren’t any bad storms around. Flying during a storm is much more dangerous than flying in other types of weather.
Hurricanes Vs Thunderstorms
Storms can cause airplanes to be grounded for hours, if not days. Flying during storms can be dangerous, but it isn’t impossible.
Sometimes planes must take off early or late due to bad weather, and this can make them miss connections.
Flights may also need to stay grounded while weather conditions change. After all, hurricanes are very powerful storms that can last for days. Thunderstorms are smaller and shorter-lived storms.
Pilots can choose to avoid them by flying over them or turning around and going back to where they came from.
Thunderstorms are tall clouds that can be catastrophic in a short amount of time. This is why pilots should avoid them if possible. Once they get out of the storm, things tend to calm down.
Flying Through Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms are taller than hurricanes. Flying over a thunderstorm is safer than flying over a hurricane because the plane can easily get away from the storm (see also “Can Planes Fly Over Hurricanes?“).
Flying over a hurricane means that if an emergency occurs, there may not be many options for getting people out.
Before The Storm
Weather forecasts are used by airlines to know when to evacuate planes and when to cancel flights. Airlines will often make changes in order to keep passengers safe.
Passengers should be aware of these changes and take action accordingly. Airlines usually offer travel waivers during tropical cyclones.
However, travelers must be aware that not all airlines cover the same areas with their travel waivers. Call your airline before you make any changes to your flight.
When a hurricane or tropical storm approaches, airlines usually cancel all flights out of the affected areas. This includes flights going to and coming from the affected areas.
Some airlines even cancel flights before the storm hits because they know it will affect their business. In addition, some airlines may offer early boarding discounts to people who want to leave the area before the storm hits.
However, many people do not take advantage of these offers because they do not want to miss their connections.
Before the most severe tropical cyclone, airlines will focus on getting as many passengers and staff off the plane before they take off.
Common steps include using large aircraft on previously scheduled flights, and operating extra evacuation flights.
On some occasions, airlines may implement price caps for flights outbound from areas predicted to be hit by hurricanes. Tropical cyclones usually cause heavy rain, strong winds, and tornadoes.
During the last few days before a tropical cyclone strikes, the airports serving the affected cities typically become very busy. People should avoid driving to the airport unless absolutely necessary.
Airport authorities recommend that people only travel to the airport when they have a confirmed ticket. Most airports aren’t designed to protect people during a tropical cyclone.
After The Storm
Airport closures due to tropical cyclones depend on the extent of damage at the airport, the capacity of local government to repair any damage, the scale of airline operations, and the availability of runway repairs.
After a hurricane, the airport will first reopen to relief flights only or to limited commercial operations. Repairing damaged terminals and air traffic control facilities can take weeks or months.
Runways are still visible at the airport, despite damage from Hurricane Irma. Relief flights are usually the first flights into an airport after a hurricane.
Such flights carry emergency supplies for victims, relief workers, and essential equipment needed to repair vital infrastructures.
Military cargo planes often operate the first relief flight into an airport, but commercial airlines usually send in their airplanes shortly thereafter.
Aircraft operating relief flights may take evacuees with it on their return trips. Flights carrying relief supplies often have strict restrictions on baggage and other items that passengers can bring along.
Relief flights usually operate at night because damaged airports lack the navigational aids needed by daytime flights. Temporary facilities are used for screening passengers.
Also, fences around airports are torn down, making those inside more vulnerable. Passengers typically have to wait in temporary areas which can become overcrowded and, in some cases, unsafe.
A hurricane causes damage to electrical infrastructure, roadways, and fuel infrastructure. Airport operations are severely hindered by these factors.
Employees cannot get to work due to flooding on nearby roads and damaged fuel supplies. Some airline companies have taken a long time to reopen airports after storms.
Many airline companies depend on local staff and planes to operate. For instance, a lot of flights were canceled because of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Because of this, airlines took a long time to open up again.
Is there a chance of bad weather on the day you fly? Don’t be concerned.
When asked if planes can fly in thunderstorms, the response is nearly always “yes,” and when it isn’t safe, pilots (and others who assist them in flying) won’t even try.
All except the most severe weather, including lightning, is absolutely harmless to modern airplanes. So sit back, unwind, and enjoy your flight—even if the sky outside is starting to light up!


Is there a water quality impact on Lake Hiawatha from the pumped water?
The water quality of Minnehaha Creek has a significantly larger impact on the water quality of Lake Hiawatha than the pumped water. Testing has demonstrated that levels of nutrients such as phosphorus were similar in the pumped groundwater and the lake.
Where is the water coming from that is being pumped into the lake?
Approximately 17 percent of the water is stormwater runoff, 33 percent is seepage directly from Lake Hiawatha, and 50 percent is shallow groundwater.
How much groundwater is being pumped into Lake Hiawatha?
Approximately 242,000,000 gallons of shallow groundwater are pumped into Lake Hiawatha from the golf course on an annual basis. This includes lake seepage, water that might have been pumped but is reentering the ground under the golf course property. Lake seepage is considered to be groundwater. When comparing the volume of pumped shallow groundwater to the volume of water entering the lake from Minnehaha Creek, the pumped groundwater accounts for approximately 1 percent of the total volume.

please help me understand what type of "various places on television" it could be talking about.thanks bunches. :)
I agree with the previous post. Usually the media presents places such as Mexico as being a tropical getaway with beautiful blue water and gorgeous trees. In reality, these places are usually not like that. It is only the tourist areas that are. If you travel deeper into some of these countries (and I have) you will see people living in substandard living conditions.

Kir5.1 underlies long-lived subconductance levels in heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels from Xenopus tropicalis.
Shang L., Ranson SV., Tucker SJ.
The inwardly-rectifying potassium channel subunit Kir5.1 selectively co-assembles with members of the Kir4.0 subfamily to form novel pH-sensitive heteromeric channels with unique single channel properties. In this study, we have cloned orthologs of Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 from the genome of the amphibian, Xenopus tropicalis (Xt). Heteromeric XtKir4.1/XtKir5.1 channels exhibit similar macroscopic current properties to rat Kir4.1/Kir5.1 with a faster time-dependent rate of activation. However, single channel analysis of heteromeric XtKir4.1/XtKir5.1 channels reveals that they have markedly different long-lived, multi-level subconductance states. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the XtKir5.1 subunit is responsible for these prominent subconductance levels. These results are consistent with a model in which the slow transitions between sublevel states represent the movement of individual subunits. These novel channels now provide an excellent model system to determine the structural basis of subconductance levels and contribution of heteromeric pore architecture to this process.

Thought for the day…”One fails forward toward success.”
“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”
One of the big decisions that I am wrestling with at the moment is whether to concentrate on taking still photos, or take videos as well. Taking videos is a whole different ball game, needing more equipment (including a much heavier tripod) and a host of other bits and pieces. Not only that, taking videos takes more time to set up and then even longer to edit.
Not only that, but I am beginning to question just how much photographic equipment I am sometimes carrying….a Fuji still camera, extra Fuji lenses (including a zoom lens that weighs 1.4kg), battery charger, spare batteries and trip. Add to that 2 action cameras (Garmin & Go Pro), their battery chargers, their cables and all the special fittings that both need then the camera bag starts to get very big. And on top of this, there is the quadcopter, again with its own battery charger, extra batteries and controller. Of course, the leads and plugs for each are different.
So the camera bag is getting fuller and fuller, heavier and heavier. Sometimes I think that going out to take photos is becoming a bit like a National Geographic photo trip. So once again, I am trying to decide whether or not to concentrate on still photos, or to continue with videos as well. Not an easy decision. The quality of videos on sites like YouTube and Vimeo is SO high now….what was acceptable 10 years ago is not not, so videos have to made much better than before.
Not an easy decision, and one that needs a lot more thought.
Two still photos today, the first from the Brienzersee lake in central Switzerland, with one of the BLS lake boats, the second photo from the military air base at Meiringen, and a photo of an F-18 Hornet taking off for a practice flight prior to the recent airshow.

RESPECT, CONSIDERATION & FAIRNESS
Thought for the day…” Failure is success if we learn from it” (Malcolm Forbes).
“About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends”
I am having a hard time trying to decide about video. Often I carry with THREE cameras, the Fuji X-T10, a GoPro action camera and also a Panasonic video camera. Not only does that take some managing (only two hands !) but it also needs organizing with chargers (all are different of course, nothing standard) and batteries (again, all different sizes, and all needing their own chargers). So at the moment I am trying to decide if I should concentrate on still photography, or continue to try the occasional video as well. Video editing takes a lot of time, and if it is 4K then a lot of computer time too. Videos need you to use a tripod as well, which means more to carry and even more to set up. One of the great advantages of the mirrorless camera system is their smaller size. But I am wondering if I am losing all this by carrying 3 cameras, battery charges, tripod etc. A good still picture is powerful, and says a lot. Video is great if it is done properly, but the question at the moment is, are three cameras etc. too much to conveniently manage?. And it would be nice to have a drone/quadcopter as well, although the recent law changes in Sweden effectively banning photography from drones might end that plan. Photography should be an enjoyable hobby, but I do not want to start carrying so much equipment that it becomes more like a NatGeo filming trip. Perhaps it is better to concentrate on still photography only??

I worship in a large church organization, which would be the antithesis of the type of organization I believe the first century Church looked like. Nevertheless, we seem to be able to solve the unity problem through the use of many small groups within our large local church membership. Through these little temporary structures we seem to be able to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those of us who weep.
I am not qualified to offer answers for the dilemma of John 17:11, but I believe I am able to testify about what I have experienced – or what I’ve found that seems to work, and what I’ve seen that does not work. The fruit of the Spirit, love (Galatians 5:22), doesn’t seem to arise often out of large groups. Once we begin to try to tie two or more local church bodies together, competition seems to be the inevitable result. Which church will be the leading body of believers? Whose pastor will be the ‘first among equals’? If there is to be a superintendent or bishop over all the linked church bodies, who will that be, and from which of the local bodies will he come? It seems that no one wants to be second; no one wants to be last; each one seeks to be of some importance (Mark 10:37; Luke 22:24; cp. Philippians 2:7). Moreover, the entity created (i.e. the organization resulting from uniting two or more church bodies) seeks to preserve itself, often at the expense of love (Matthew 16:25; cp. Galatians 1:10).
On the other hand, small groups that are created within the local church body of believers are formed with the idea of service in mind. Bereavement groups are formed with the specific idea of sharing one’s sense of loss with others who are going through unspeakable emotional loss. No one is seeking to be great in these circumstances. The whole focus is on helping those who are in pain.
Another small group formed for the service of others that I’ve seen is one of common talents. Great fellowship can be found in using one’s talents with others of like talents, such as cooking for those who are sick, home repairs for those who can’t afford to have it done, or those who can afford only the cost of materials. Serving is the idea, reaching out to be last by lifting up those in a weaker position and placing them first. In the meantime, those who are doing the serving, not only receive a great reward within their spirits, but also find good friendships they didn’t have and great fellowship while working together in an expression of love in the Spirit.
Sunday school groups and Wednesday night Bible study groups are other forms of service within the larger local church body. Although there is a greater temptation for some to be the greatest teacher or to lord it over the faith of other believers, the predominant idea is to share one’s faith with folks who want to do the same. If done correctly, all grow in the knowledge of God and in the strength of the Spirit and in friendship toward one another. The individuals within each group grow closer together in love and pray for one another’s needs as expressed within that specific group.
The groups are often temporary or membership within specific groups is temporary. Those grieving over the loss of a loved one eventually find the strength they need, from the love of others within the group, and are able to move on with a positive outlook. Some friendships gained will remain, but the needs are satisfied. Sunday school groups and other Bible study groups disband after the subject at hand is discussed thoroughly, and the believers form other small groups created around other subjects. Those that don’t disband are usually populated by different individuals wanting to discuss the same subject the previous believers found helpful or interesting. Moreover, as groups are disbanded, and the same believers form different groups, all of these groups are seen as a way to provide each believer with an ever larger circle of believing friends and acquaintances within the larger church body.
Additionally, the groups are not seeking to preserve their own existence. If the interest isn’t there, they are disbanded. The groups are formed to serve real people in need or having a common interest. When the Spirit of God influences the individuals of the group, the group is helpful and serves a general concern. Once the common interest is satisfied, the group is disbanded and/or the individuals move on to other groups of interest (or not) as seems to fit the desire of each believer. As a rule, no one is seeking to be first, but, if that rule is violated, the small group will be disbanded in due course leaving the one seeking to be first without a constituency to gratify his competitive desires. While I am not qualified to tell anyone that small groups are the answer to ‘unity’ as expressed in John 17:11, I do see these groups as very helpful to the believer and generally promote unity within the local church body.
 As I said HERE, this current theme about the person of Jesus is based upon the book: The Jesus Style by Gayle Erwin. They are my thoughts about his book. He may or may not agree with the impression his book has made upon me, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading what Gayle wrote and recommend his book to anyone who is looking for a good read about Jesus.

What comes to your mind when you hear boudoir? Have you considered booking a session but fear stood in the way?
The purpose of this post is to prepare you with all the information you need to know and help you take the leap!
This post may contain affiliate links through which I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases, at no cost to you. See my full disclosure here.
What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir photography is a session with an authentic and intimate focus on you. The purpose is to capture and accentuate your beauty through daring yet tasteful photos.
Why book a session?
Some of the top reasons may be:
- To discover and celebrate an empowered version of yourself
- To get the benefit of lasting confidence
- To give the unique gift to your significant other or yourself
I go into more detail on the reasons on this post.
When should you book?
Boudoir sessions usually take place before your wedding, for an anniversary, a milestone birthday, Valentine’s Day, etc. but really you do not need a special date to book a session. There is no right or wrong time on when to celebrate you and your body!
Where should you book?
In order to find the perfect spot for your boudoir session you will have to do some of your own research depending on where you live.
Social media will be your best friend for this as you will be able to look through photographer’s past work, reviews, upcoming specials, etc.
There are all sorts of boudoir styles such as bridal only, classic, pin up, maternity, and many many more so you will want to find a photographer that fits the style you’re going for.
For my session I decided to book with Yuli Vargas Creations Photography since I am very familiar with her and her studio. If you are looking into working with a new photographer, do not hesitate to reach out and send them a message or give them a call with your questions.
What is the cost?
The cost of your session will depend on factors like location, session duration, number of digital and/or print photos, etc.
If you are looking to book with Yuli here is her contact form so you can see her current offers.
What do you need before your session?
Once you have booked your session, the real fun starts and you can start getting ready for your special day!
First things first, decide on the look you are going for and gather your lingerie. Here are a few options to get you started just click the photo to shop:
Once you have your outfits picked out, you can start gathering the items for your beauty kit. You will want to include makeup in case you need a retouch, hair tool, jewelry and any other items you think you may need during your shoot.
Of course your photographer will help during the session, but it is very helpful if you have some poses already in mind. You can look online for inspiration and share it with your photographer either before your session or the day of.
Remember to relax and enjoy your session. Being prepared helps, but letting loose and relaxing will definitely give you the best results and it will show in your photos.
Last but not least, don’t be shy, reach out! Chat with your girlfriends. Chances are they too want to book a session or they’ve already done one before and have valuable advice to share.
After my session with Yuli, a couple friends booked their own sessions with her and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Make sure to check back as we will be sharing more about their full experience in a future blog post. In the meantime, take a peek at my photos I received and absolutely loved!! The renewed appreciation of my body and the confidence boost a boudoir session gives is unreal!

This invention relates to heat radiating fins.
Baseboard radiators were developed to take advantage of areas where space of considerable length was available. In general, the structure comprised a series of vertical plates (fins) which radiated heat arranged on a pipe which had a circulating fluid such as steam or hot water. Additionally, a front cover plate provided a hood to deflect the heat and a protective wall plate.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,776,080 discloses an early baseboard heater. The wall plate serves also as a mounting support.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,914,197 discloses a more sophisticated method of directing the air, by forming a curved channel. Production of this design is costly and bulky.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,091,289, incorporated herein by reference, presents alternative shaping to thin fin assemblies, presenting flat fins having trapezoidal and parallelogram shapes.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,367,132, shows a valance system, demonstrating that finded heating and cooling systems can be located in positions other than the floor.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,195,687, incorporated herein by reference, discloses a system which provides a bent fin that forms a wall plate and a front plate. A method for attaching the system to the wall is not disclosed.
A fin system, suitable for use with a solar collection system or with conventional systems is presented. The fin provides an easily accessible, flexible system of attachment to a wall or other support by means of a rear flange. Access to the flange is provided by a taper of the fin. The taper also improves the circulation of the heated air. In one version, a second flange substantially parallel to the rear flange is provided to add strength and eliminate the necessity of a front plate, element hanger, backplate, and/or a damper.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a fin during attachment.
FIG. 2 is a top view of a modification of the fin of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the fin of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a side view of a fin having a beak shaped top and bird tail like bottom.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a solar heating system using the fin of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows a blank suitable for forming a fin.
FIGS. 1 through 3 show a radiating fin having a modified trapezoidal shape. Radiating for purposes of this application shall mean radiating of coolness as well as warmth. The trapezoidal side web (58) has a back flange (18) which is placed against a wall (2). If desired, rubber grommets can be used to space the flange within 3 mm of the wall. The oblique upper (8) and lower (14) edges of the side web (58) provide access to a fastening device (4) such as a screw, nail, bolt or staple by a tool (6) such as a screw driver. A front flange (20) is shorter in length than the back flange (18), and has an optional front side flange (16) to provide smoother abutment between fins and to increase structural strength. The side web (58) has apertures (70) and (72) for a top (10) and bottom (12) pipes which carry a heated or cooled fluid. While the fins may be slipped on the pipes and depend on friction for contact, a collar (30) may be provided for better fit and contact. Alternatively, conduction between the pipe and the fin could be improved by attachment with a heat conductive cement.
When a number of the fins are placed side by side on a pipe, a back wall is formed by a plurality of back flanges (18) and a front wall is formed by a plurality of front flanges (20). Since each fin is provided with top and bottom apertures (22) and (24), attachment can be properly made at a variety of points, minimizing the problem of having structural attachment points such as studs match available holes of a baseboard or valance unit.
The shape of the fin also provides an efficient chimney effect, drawing cold air at the base (for heating) an spreading radiating it at the top. To further direct air at the emitting end of the fin, The rear fin could be extended at the top and the extension bent forward. For safety, it is suggested that the extension have side and front flanges. A blank for forming such a fin is shown in FIG. 6.
FIG. 4 shows a fin having a beak shaped upper side web (28) and a top flange (26). This design increases heating efficiency while maintaining the access to a fastener (4).
FIG. 6 shows a blank for a fin which can be cut from a sheet of metal. By valley folding along the dashed lines, section (60b) becomes a top front flange; section (64b) becomes a deflecting top; sections (62b), (66b) and (68b) become top side flanges; section (18b) becomes back flange (18); section (58b) becomes side web (58); section (20b) becomes front flange (20); and section (16b) becomes front side flange (16).
FIG. 5 shows a solar heating system using fins such as shown in FIG. 4. Lower pipe (12) and upper pipe (10) are connected at one end by pipe (32). Several fins are fitted over the pipes (10) and (12). The number of fins to form a length within the body of the radiator is dependent on the heat loss in a particular room or area. The fins can be formed by extrusion, or by stamping and then folding or roller forming. A vessel (34) having lower inlet (40) and upper outflow (42) pipes is connected to remaining ends of pipes (10) and (12) respectively. The vessel (34) has a heating element (44), limit control (36), circulating pump (38), a screw on/off top (82) for maintainence and filling with a heat transfer fluid, and electrodes (46). Terminals (54) of a photovoltaic solar collector (52) and terminals (50) of a storage battery (48) are connected by wires (56) to each other and the vessel electrodes (46). The storage battery (48) supplies energy during darkness, the collector (52) during day. Excess energy collected during the day is stored for later use by the battery (48). As heated fluid circulates through the pipes, heat is disbursed by two methods; radiation off front and top flanges, and convection through the chimney effect. Ideally, the vessel (34) is very compact so that it may reside next to the fins and behind a cover similar to the fins for continuity.
When a thermostat (80) indicates heat is called for, the pump (38) and heating element (44) are energized. The heating element (44), heats the fluid to a desired temperature, while the pump (38) circulates the fluid from the vessel (34) through the lower heating line (12), around through the top heating line (10) and back to the vessel (34) until the thermostat (80) is satisfied.
The limit control (36) is set to a predetermined temperature to prevent overheating of the fluid within the radiator. If, by chance, the temperature of the fluid reaches its limit, the limit control contacts open and the heating element (44) is automatically shut off. The pump (38) continues running until the thermostat and limit control are satisfied.
If desired, inlet (40) and outlet (42) pipes can be Teed into a backup system with the aid of check valves.
Pipes and fins are of rigid heat conductive material such as metal. Typically pipes are made from copper and fins from sheet or extruded aluminium or steel.
The fins disclosed herein may be attached to a unit prior to shipping, or could be attached at an installation site with minimal equipment in order to provide custom lengths.
While the fins disclosed have cross sections of right angled C shapes due to ease in forming, this should not be considered limiting. Other shapes such as Z, or a cross section similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,195,687 are possible.

Secretary of State for Transport has announced plans for a net zero transatlantic flight.
The world’s first net zero emissions transatlantic flight could be delivered by the UK government and industry as early as next year, ushering in a new era of guilt-free flying in the coming decades.
The pioneering flight, on an aircraft powered by 100% sustainable aviation fuel, is expected to take off in 2023.
Innovate UK is partnering with the Department for Transport to deliver the net zero flight fund competition.
Supporting this pioneering initiative
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of Innovate UK, said:
Innovate UK proudly supports this pioneering initiative. This flight, driven through collaboration and bold ambition, is a perfect example of how innovation can and will shape our future lives.
The speed at which this has become a reality is down to the inspiration, ingenuity and investment of all those involved.
Trailblazing net zero emissions flight
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said:
This trailblazing net zero emissions flight, a world first, will demonstrate the vital role that sustainable aviation fuel can play in decarbonising aviation in line with our ambitious net zero targets.
That’s not just great news for the environment, it’s great news for passengers who will be able to visit the Big Apple without increasing damaging greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s crucial that we place sustainability at the heart of the aviation industry’s recovery from COVID-19 and I look forward to working with them on this challenge. It will lower the impact flying across the Atlantic has on the planet.
Boosting the UK economy
Industry estimates suggest that a UK sustainable aviation fuel industry could support up to 5,200 UK jobs directly, as well as a further 13,600 through global exports.
This would help to level up the UK and boost the economy. The industry estimates its annual turnover could reach £2.3 billion by 2040.
The new initiative has come out of the Jet Zero Council, a partnership between industry and government that aims to deliver new technologies and innovative ways to cut aviation emissions while supporting the UK economy.

Teledyne In Space
 We report new measurements of solar minimum ionizing radiation dose at the Moon onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) from June 2009 through May 2010. The Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) instrument on LRO houses a compact and highly precise microdosimeter whose design allows measurements of dose rates below 1 micro-Rad per second in silicon achieved with minimal resources (20 g, ∼250 milliwatts, and ∼3 bits/second). We envision the use of such a small yet accurate dosimeter in many future spaceflight applications where volume, mass, and power are highly constrained. As this was the first operation of the microdosimeter in a space environment, the goal of this study is to verify its response by using simultaneous measurements of the galactic cosmic ray ionizing environment at LRO, at L1, and with other concurrent dosimeter measurements and model predictions. The microdosimeter measured the same short timescale modulations in the galactic cosmic rays as the other independent measurements, thus verifying its response to a known source of minimum-ionizing particles. The total dose for the LRO mission over the first 333 days was only 12.2 Rads behind ∼130 mils of aluminum because of the delayed rise of solar activity in solar cycle 24 and the corresponding lack of intense solar energetic particle events. The dose rate in a 50 km lunar orbit was about 30 percent lower than the interplanetary rate, as one would expect from lunar obstruction of the visible sky.
 The total ionizing dose (TID) hazard originates from the space environment and includes contributions from charged particles (electrons, ions, and secondary charged particles such as muons and pions), neutrons that undergo nuclear collisions to produce charged secondaries, and primary photons from the environment and electron bremsstrahlung. Whatever the primary origin, the effect of concern is the deposition of energy in the form of free charge within materials. The free charge in turn can affect surface chemistry, microelectronic device operation, and material properties [e.g., Stuckey and Meshishnek, 2003; Pease et al., 2009]. TID is also a concern for long-term human exploration of space [e.g., Cucinotta et al., 2005, and references therein] because there are no analogs for human exposure to TID from the space environment other than that already acquired on human space missions.
 One assesses the TID impacts through testing of electronic parts, testing of spacecraft materials using photon sources and particle accelerators, modeling of the space environment in the mission orbit, and ray tracing to model the distribution of mass and hence the TID reduction (or increase) at the location of interest inside the space vehicle.
 An independent method of addressing the TID hazard is to measure it directly on-orbit using a calibrated instrument. There are many examples of dosimetry using standard techniques of charge collection in a known detector volume. The principal benefit from a direct measurement is the reduction of uncertainty compared to that from the process of measuring the external environment, including all the particle and photon inputs, and modeling the transport of that environment and its interaction with materials. Hence, the direct measurement of TID has uncertainty that originates primarily from the dosimeter's ability to accurately capture the liberated charge in a test mass and to accurately report that result. Of course, one disadvantage is that the results are not known for a particular mission until the mission has flown.

SpaceX’s Starlink project has been making headlines since its inception. The ambitious project aims to provide high-speed internet to even the most remote corners of the world using a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit. With over 1,000 satellites already in orbit, and thousands more planned, one question that has been on the minds of many is how these satellites communicate with each other.
To understand how Starlink satellites communicate with each other, it’s important to first understand how they communicate with the ground. Each satellite is equipped with a phased-array antenna that allows it to communicate with ground stations on Earth. These ground stations are strategically placed around the world and are responsible for relaying information between the satellites and the internet.
But what about communication between the satellites themselves? Do they communicate with each other, and if so, how?
The short answer is yes, Starlink satellites do communicate with each other. In fact, it’s essential for them to do so in order to maintain their position in orbit and avoid collisions with other objects in space.
To understand how this works, it’s important to first understand how satellites maintain their position in orbit. Satellites in low Earth orbit, like those used in the Starlink project, are constantly moving around the Earth at a speed of around 17,500 miles per hour. In order to maintain their position, they need to constantly adjust their speed and trajectory.
This is where communication between the satellites comes in. Each satellite is equipped with a set of thrusters that allow it to adjust its speed and trajectory. However, in order to do this, the satellite needs to know its exact position in space. This is where communication with other satellites comes in.
Each Starlink satellite is equipped with a set of sensors that allow it to determine its position in space. These sensors include GPS receivers, star trackers, and inertial measurement units. By combining data from these sensors, the satellite can determine its exact position in space.
Once the satellite knows its position, it can communicate with other satellites to determine their positions as well. This allows the satellites to maintain a safe distance from each other and avoid collisions. It also allows them to work together to maintain their position in orbit.
In addition to maintaining their position in orbit, communication between the satellites also allows them to work together to provide internet coverage to even the most remote areas of the world. By working together, the satellites can provide a seamless internet experience to users on the ground, regardless of their location.
In conclusion, Starlink satellites do communicate with each other. This communication is essential for maintaining their position in orbit, avoiding collisions, and providing internet coverage to even the most remote areas of the world. While the specifics of how this communication works may be complex, the end result is a network of satellites that work together to provide high-speed internet to users around the globe.

Does your jaw click, pop or grind with movement? Do you clench and grind your teeth at night? Do you wake up with head pain that feels like you have been wearing a hat that is too small? You feel groggy, as if you have not slept enough?
Then you just might have TMJD – Temporomandibular Joint Disorder/Dysfunction. It can also can be referred to as TMJ Syndrome.
The most common symptoms of TMJD are:
- Stiff jaw muscles
- A jaw that locks or has limited movement
- Painful clicking, popping, or grating in the jaw joint
- Pain in the chewing muscles or jaw joint
- Pain in the jaw, neck, or face
- Changes in the fit between upper and lower teeth
In most cases, TMJ can be treated with self management and non surgical treatments. In more severe cases, eating and speaking may become challenging and painful.
It is difficult to pin point the exact cause of TMJD. It can be related to extensive dental work, arthritis, jaw and/or head injury. Jaw injuries include any blows to the face and head. They can also be associated with car accidents, which can lead to muscle tightening of the neck and facial muscles.
Physical therapy can help strengthen and return the smoothest range of motion to the joint. In addition, manual therapy can work to relieve the pain and muscle tension. At OSR, we can help you manage the symptoms.
Should you be experiencing symptoms of TMJ, do not hesitate to contact OSR. Our team is ready to relieve your pain and discomfort!

ABOUT Multiplier Odyssey
Relax has created amazing slots action with games like Money Train 2. They’ve done it again with Multiplier Odyssey, a fantastic product that manages to achieve that uncommon thing – a creative take on a classic feature, presented via spaceships and some frenetic spinning!
Aliens and hero space adventurers populate the background of this retro-meets-modern video slot!
RTP, Variance, and Highest Payout
In terms of variance, we all know that Relax has developed some excellent high-volatility slots. Multiplier Odyssey cranks up the dial again. Because the free spins round features all the finest things, expect inconsistent win distribution and dry spells. The RTP is 96.5 percent, and the highest payout is 50,000x.
Remember that this is a maximum — most of us will never win anything close to this. Big victories are usually in the 5,000x+ range, so be realistic in your expectations.
SYMBOLS AND PAID
The reels are in a spacecraft’s cockpit. The reels’ low value icons are the four card suits. Premium icons are the four warriors – male, female, alien, and bearded guy.
The bearded man is the highest paying regular symbol, earning 50x for five of a kind. Watch out for the Wild, which doubles your stake and substitutes for all other icons to build winlines.
Finally, three or more Scatters are required to activate the massive free spins.
Gameplay and Specs
There are two more characteristics. The Coin Collector function in the base game might let you gather fast winnings. Free Spins, where video game style ‘lives’ decide how long the round lasts, and Super-Multipliers take the gaming to new levels!
Coin symbols occur on all reels except the fifth.
The Coin Collector symbol gets the last reel. Any coins that appear on the other four reels are gathered and paid away instantly if the Coin Collector appears on reel 5.
Your quick wins are tripled if the fifth reel coin collector has a 3x connected to it.
Free Spins are awarded for three or more Spaceship Scatters.
In a novel twist on free spins action, you gain 7, 8, or 9 lives according to how many Spaceships you land. For each non-winning spin, one life is lost.
When the feature starts, you receive infinite spins until you obtain a winning one.
Above the reels are Spaceship Multipliers. Ten are immediate and one is locked. When you win a game, you’ll get one of the 10 unlocked If you utilize all ten during the free spins, the 11th multiplier will become available. The Super Multiplier is applied to the next winning spin.
Target, +1, spaceship and group of spaceships are special symbols that activate modifiers in this round. The feature symbols eliminate the lowest multiplier, 1x a random multiplier, 1x the lifeline, or 1x all available multipliers.
Relax Gaming’s Multiplier Odyssey is a terrific high variance superslot. Aside from the awesome video-gamer artwork, the free spins round is unique in that Relax has discovered a novel way to use a traditional feature. The finest stuff will come if you keep unlocking multipliers and increasing your winnings. This is a game that high-risk slot aficionados will enjoy for years. Undoubtedly one of our current favourite slot developers.

Due to a variety of reasons, seniors are working longer, which in turn elevates the number of senior drivers who keep and use their driver’s license. In fact, California’s Department of Aging estimates that Mammoth, Bridgeport, and other areas of Mono County will gain 200 percent in the number of seniors over age 60, and a more than 400 percent increase in the number of seniors over 85 by the year 2020.
Many of us feel that the more years of driving and driving experience we have should only make us better drivers and senior drivers are no different. The only problem with that is the older we get, the more susceptible we are to impairments, which means we must continue to evaluate our ability to continue to drive independently as a senior driver.
An excellent first step to maintaining your independence is to ensure you are fit to drive and keep your driver’s license. Read the DMV’s Senior Guide for Safe Driving, here to find out the actual requirements.
Deciding if You Are Fit to Drive as a Senior Driver
Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to take a driving test to get your license renewed at the age of 70. It is your choice whether to renew your license or not. The DMV can require any driver to prove they are physically and mentally fit to drive. Their primary mission is to ensure the safety of all drivers and pedestrians.
Since many seniors are susceptible to cataracts, a cloudy covering of the eye’s lens, senior drivers must be tested more frequently for this condition and wear prescribed corrective lens or get surgery if necessary. However, that is an individual responsibility. Additionally, every driver must have the capacity to react quickly to changing traffic conditions, detect hazards, identify and read signs, and be alert enough to react and respond to roadway hazards. Fitness, not age, is the determining factor in keeping your driving privileges.
Senior Driver Traffic Tickets
Sometimes as a senior, you can receive a citation or even a suspension for questionable mental or physical conditions, lapse of consciousness, or skilled driving issues. If you are found unfit to drive by a law enforcement officer, you must prove to the court and DMV that you are capable of driving. This proof can include a vision test, driving test, or a written test. The court or DMV may request that you provide proof of fitness to drive from your medical doctor.
The best and first step to resolve any driving issues would be to consult with a traffic attorney. They can advise you on the steps you need to take to keep your license or get your license back.
In closing, pay attention to your health; exercise and proper nutrition are key to maintaining your strength, and watch for any possible signs that would make you questionable as a senior driver. If you are still fit to drive, and you run into a problem with your license, be sure to contact a traffic attorney so they can help you get on track to get your license back.

On Distributed Communications Series
IV. Priority, Precedence, and Overload
This Memorandum is one in a series of eleven RAND Memoranda detailing the Distributed Adaptive Message Block Network, a proposed digital data communications system based on a distributed network concept, as presented in Vol. I in the series. Various other items in the series deal with specific features of the concept, results of experimental modelings, engineering design considerations, and background and future implications.
The series, entitled On Distributed Communications, is a part of The RAND Corporation's continuing program of research under U.S. Air Force Project RAND, and is related to research in the field of command and control and in governmental and military planning and policy making.
The present Memorandum, the fourth in the series, is concerned with the establishment of traffic precedence doctrines designed to achieve optimum utilization of the communications resource, especially within a seriously degraded and overloaded network.
The proposed all-digital network has properties that differ in many respects from conventional communications networks. Network control features that can be performed only with great difficulty in conventional systems can be readily incorporated into a network of the type contemplated. While this Memorandum is oriented primarily around the distributed digital network, the considerations are sufficiently general to be of interest to those concerned with the best utilization of an overloaded and impaired command and control communications network.
 A list of all items in the series is found on p. 61.

HOW TO MEASURE:
Waist - The tape should be placed around the waist above the top of the hip bone. It should be positioned approximately
where the person wears a belt.
1. Always use a cloth tailor’s tape when taking body measurements. Place the index finger and middle finger between
tape and body while holding the tape with thumb.
2. For circumference measurements of the body, the tape measure should not be pulled too tight.
3. For garment size, use the tape measurement to the next largest inch.
4. Garment sizing is determined from the actual body measurements. A specific size garment, e.g. size 42, is designed
to fit a body with a chest measurement of 42".
The actual size of the pattern and garment will be determined by:
a. Requirements of the sport (designed for loose or tight fit).
b. Type of fabric intended for the garment design.
c. Special garment styles or designs. When the above adjustments have been factored into the pattern, the garment
should fit the proper size body as indicated on the size label of garment.

Azerbaijani Embassy in Pakistan held an event on the occasion of
the Remembrance Day in the capital city Islamabad, Azernews reports, citing a post on X by the
The post says that the Embassy made a presentation of the book
called The History of the Patriotic War-Personality Factor.
To recall, 27 September is marked as the Remembrance Day in
Azerbaijan in accordance with the decree of the Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev, signed on December 2, 2020.
The Remembrance Day is a public day in Azerbaijan for honoring
the military personnel who have been martyred in the Patriotic War
On the morning of September 27, 2020, the Armenian Armed Forces
initiated a large-scale sabotage and intensively fired at the
civilian settlements and military positions located near the front
line. In order to prevent the military activity of the Armenian
army and ensure the safety of the civilian population, Azerbaijan
conducted a rapid counter-attack operation. As a result of the
counter-offensive operation, most of the territories that Armenia
kept under occupation for 30 years were liberated.

Dipolar recoupling sequences in 13C and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance studies of mineral surfaces
Sammanfattning: Solid state magic angle spinning (MAS) 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, both cross polarization (CP) and dipole-dipole recoupling, were used as tools in the investigation of the reaction products at the surface of synthetic galena (PbS) mineral and O,O'-dialkyldithiophosphate potassium salts. Various dipole-dipole recoupling sequences have been tested on powder glycine-13C2 NMR and a polycrystalline powder sample of O,O'-diethyldithiophosphate2-Ni(II) to find one or several sequences suitable for the surface experiments. The purpose of the analysis is to better understand the chemical surface reactions taking place in froth flotation of sulfide minerals. The purpose of the experiments is to also investigate the possibilities of using NMR techniques in surface analysis. Two dipole-dipole recoupling sequences, XY8-DRAMA and IRS-DRAMA were found suitable for the 31P NMR experiments both on polycrystalline powders and on the synthetic galena mineral. R14 and IRS-DRAMA was the best performing dipole-dipole recoupling sequences for the 13C NMR experiments on glycine-13C2.

A First Zen Reader Hardback
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Zen Buddhism series
When Zen Buddhism crossed from China to Japan in the twelfth century, it entered a phase of development that was not only to inspire a magnificent range of artistic achievement but also to exert a tremendous influence upon Japanese life itself and, eventually, to bring to the attention of the West a religious philosophy both unique and challenging in its power. `Yet', as one of the contributors to this book (first published in 1960) expresses it, `if asked what Zen is, to reply is very difficult.' It is the purpose of this anthology to suggest an approach to such a reply.
The texts here translated will give a general idea of Zen theory and practice, and are outstanding selections from the treasury of Zen literature.
To these, the anthologist has added a valuable `Note on the Ways', in which he points out how `the student keeps his Zen practice in touch with his daily life'.
The exceptional interest of the text is further enhanced by twenty illustrative plates.

Chuck Berry, a music pioneer often called “the Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” was found dead Saturday at a residence outside St. Louis, police in St. Charles County said.
Chuck Berry, “the Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” was found dead Saturday, March 18, 2017 at a residence outside St. Louis, according to police in St. Charles County, MO. He was 90.
A post on the St. Charles County police Facebook page said officers responded to a medical emergency at a residence around 12:40 p.m. CDT Saturday and found an unresponsive man inside the home.
“Unfortunately, the 90-year-old man could not be revived and was pronounced deceased at 1:26 p.m.,” the post said. “The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry.”
The list of Berry’s classics include “Maybellene.” “Around and Around.” “Brown-Eyed Handsome Man.” “School Days.” “Memphis.” “Nadine.” “No Particular Place to Go.”
Chuck Berry – Johnny B. Goode (Live 1958)
Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 18, 1926, but some sources report his birthplace as San Jose, California. His parents were the grandchildren of slaves. His father Henry was a successful carpenter, and his mother Martha was a college graduate, which was rare for a black woman at that time. Chuck Berry grew up in a middle-class African-American St. Louis neighborhood.
In 1955, at the suggestion of bluesman Muddy Waters, Berry, age 29, visited Chess Records in Chicago. Chess Records was a pioneering blues and R&B label, where Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, the Moonglows and Big Bill Broonzy were signed. Brothers Leonard and Philip Chess, owners of Chess Records, suggested Chuck Berry cut a few songs. “Maybellene” — a rewrite of an old country tune called “Ida Red” — was released by Chess in August, 1955. Within weeks, it was No. 1 on the R&B charts and hit No. 5 on the Billboard pop charts, and Chuck Berry was a national star. Also No. 1 R&B Charts were School Day in 1957, and Sweet Little Sixteen in 1958.
Chuck Berry performs ‘Memphis Tennessee’ at the BBC Television Theatre, London on Wednesday 29th March 1972. Backed by Dave Harrison – drums, Billy Kinsley – bass, Jimmy Campbell – guitar, Michael Snow – piano.

In 1911, he produced the first design of a cross-country fighting vehicle with swiveling gun turret (a tank), based on American agricultural tractor. He called the Motorgeschütz (literally "motor-gun"). His draft design, more advanced than some of the tank designs of World War I, was rejected both by Austria-Hungary and by the German Empire and no prototype was ever produced. He later sought to patent his design, but was told that it might infringe existing patents, so he dropped all plans.
Burstyn was christened "Günther," but in later life chose to omit the umlaut and use the name "Gunther".

By limiting our marketing messages to only external problems, we neglect a principle that is costing us thousands and potentially millions of dollars. That principle is this: Companies tend to sell solutions to external problems, but people but solutions to internal problems.
The purpose of an external problem in a story is to manifest an internal problem. If I wrote a movie about a guy who simply needed to disarm a bomb, audiences would lose interest. What storytellers and screenwriters do, then, is create a backstory of frustration in the hero’s life,
In the movie Moneyball, for instance, Billy Beane failed in his playing career and so was filled with self-doubt about whether he could redeem himself as a general manager. In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker was told by his uncle that he was too young to join the resistance, so he doubted his ability until the very end.
In almost every story the hero struggles with the same question; Do I have what it takes? This questions can make them feel frustrated, incompetent, and confused. The sense of self-doubt is what makes a movie about baseball relatable to a soccer mom and a romantic comedy relatable to a truck-driving husband.
What stories teach us is that people’s internal desire to resolve a frustration is a greater motivator than their desire to solve an external problem.
from “Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen” by Donald Miller

A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday admitted former President Goodluck’s cousin, Azibaola Roberts, and his wife, Stella, to bail in the sum of N500 million each.
The Roberts were arraigned on Tuesday on a seven-count charge bordering on money laundering of 40 million dollars.
The money was alleged to have been paid into their company, One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited, by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba had listened to arguments from both parties on Tuesday as to why bail should or should not be granted.
The prosecuting counsel, Aliyu Yusuf, had argued that the defendants should not be granted bail and that the court should rather order an accelerated hearing of the case.
Defence counsel Chris Uche, however, urged the court to grant them bail since the offences for which they were standing trial were bailable offences.
Mr. Dimgba, in his ruling, held that there was no material evidence before the court to show that Roberts or his wife would jump bail or frustrate their trial.
He said that the “Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015, enjoins that the bail conditions shall not be excessive.
“All things considered, I grant the defendants bail on the following terms: the defendants are admitted to bail in the sum of N500 million each and two sureties in like sum.
“The sureties shall, in turn, enter a bail bond of the sum of N500 million; the sureties must be owners of property in Asokoro or Maitama District of Abuja,’’ Justice Dimgba said.
The judge also said that the defendants would remain in prison custody until their bail conditions were met.
The commencement of hearing in the case was adjourned till June 28, July 4 and July 5.

Many of our customers who have tried to create a Kubernetes cluster encountered this error message without specific logs that may help them understand what went wrong. This is how we usually solve it.
Often when using `eksctl` for creating Kubernetes clusters using AWS EKS, the process may get stuck waiting for the nodes to join the cluster the the following error appears:
> nodegroup “my-cluster” has 0 node(s) > waiting for at least 3 node(s) to become ready in “my-cluster” > timed out (after 25m0s) waiting for at least 3 nodes to join the cluster and become ready in “my-cluster”
The message is displayed, without any additional logs, and the process eventually times out, while the newly created nodes are unable to communicate with the Kubernetes cluster. From our experience in DoiT International this issue has two leading roots: misconfigured VPC or missing policies.
When using an existing VPC network, the user has to make sure that the VPC conforms with all EKS-specific requirements [1, 2]. The blog post by logz.io provides detailed guidance on setting up a VPC network, as well as an example AWS Cloud Formation template that you can use as the basis .
Missing IAM Policies
Another leading cause is related to AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy and AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy policies  that are required by the EKS worker nodes to be able to communicate with the cluster. By default, eksctl automatically generates a role containing these policies. However, when you use “attachPolicyARNs” property to attach specific policies by ARN, you have to include these policies explicitly :
nodeGroups: - name: my-special-nodegroup iam: attachPolicyARNs:
- arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy - arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy

The Switch version of The Outer Worlds has a release date: March 6th. That is when Obsidian’s RPG will arrive on Nintendo’s console. This is several months after it debuted on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The space-set game drew mixed reactions for its relatively short length for a single-player RPG but was a popular choice among players. Some players completed it in less than 20 hours. However, that short running time might be more palatable if you’re playing it on Switch while you’re on the go. The good news is that Obsidian plans to expand the story this year with some good old fashioned DLC.
That should help with the game’s overall length, but it still would have been nice to have more play time in the core game itself. Let’s face it, the DLC isn’t going to dramatically extend it by very much, plus you have to pay more for it.
The Outer Worlds will be available in boxed (though with a download code instead of a game card) and digital versions on Switch. It will cost $60. The problem is that Switch players already know how short the game is, so $60 at this point seems like a pass to me at least.

Beyonce is no stranger to flashy, go-big-or-go-home statement fashion. So why would sneaker wedges be any exception to the singer's upscale world?
Calling themselves the "Maybach" of the couture sneaker world, PMK Customs (Perfectly Made Kicks) was the go to source when Bey and hubby Jay-Z wanted their own kicks customized. For J, founder Andre Scott crafted a red Nike swooshed "Brooklyn Zoo" pair of Jordans out of a hybrid of luxury reptile skins valued at $2,500.
Not to be outdone by J's kicks, Beyonce had a fresh spin put on her Isabel Marant wedges, creating what is named the "King Bey" show, which is a mix of ostrich, crocodile, and anaconda skins, stitched together with nothing less but gold thread. The total cost, oh, about $5,500... no biggie.
The designer stated that they had no edits to make to the specialized pieces, as Beyonce's attention to detail was very thorough.
So what do you think? Do you like the wedges? Needless to say, PETA has had a field day protesting the use of the skins for shoes... What are your thoughts? Let us know!

New research shows Koalas in the Sydney Basin are in decline
New research released today by the Sydney Basin Koala Network shows the area where koalas are found in the Sydney Basin is declining and the areas supporting long standing breeding populations of koalas is also reducing. The need for protection is becoming ever more urgent, the Sydney Basin Koala Network and Total Environment Centre said today.
In the time since koalas were listed as endangered, things have gone from bad to worse, with growing threats from development set to push koalas into further decline. Jeff Angel, Director of Total Environment Centre, urges the NSW government to put their foot on the accelerator for Koala protection.
The threats to koalas are multiplying while effective protections languish. The decline can’t continue and must be reversed; new laws enacted and conservation reserves and migratory corridors protected; and the state’s Koala Strategy made effective.
The newly released research from TEC's Sydney Basin Koala Network, conducted by koala ecologists Biolink, compared the extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, and areas of generational persistence of koalas in the Sydney Basin Bioregion from 2021-2023. All measures showed a trend of decline in the Sydney Basin. Important populations in Cessnock and Southern Highlands are of particular concern with generational persistence in Cessnock halving and the area occupied by koalas decreasing significantly in both LGAs between 2021-2023.
"The only relatively stable koala populations are threatened by impending urban sprawl outwards from Sydney, so they won’t stay stable for long," Stephanie Carrick, project management of Sydney Basin Koala Network, adds to the release of this report.
Policy and legal analysis for SBKN by the Environmental Defenders Office concludes that existing measures are not enough to prevent the extinction of koalas in the Sydney Basin by 2050.
“There are several key steps available to the Government that would immediately halt this decline and protect koalas.” Stephanie said. “These steps are outlined in our SBKN 2024 Policy Recommendations, and we will use these recommendations to benchmark progress in future reports,” Stephanie states.

Most aquatic plants are shipped bare root and will require potting after they arrive. Fill a bucket with water before your plants arrive to allow the water to warm up to air temperature so you don’t shock your water plants.
Before you open your box of plants, inspect the box for any damage or leaks. If in the unfortunate event your box is damaged or wet, take a picture of the damage before opening the box.
Open the box and carefully remove the bag of plants. If you ordered your aquatic plants from National Pond Service your packing slip/order receipt will be adhered to the inside lid of the box. The plants will be double bagged with their roots wrapped in moist newspaper.
Regardless of where your new plants come from whether for your terrestial garden or your water garden, it’s always a good idea to check any new plants for bugs or damage before introducing them to your garden.
Remove the newspaper and immediately place your aquatic plants in your bucket of water until you are ready to plant them or put them into your pond. Please read our article, “Caring for Aquatic Plants” to learn how to pot, plant and care for water plants.
Lotus plants are generally shipped bare root as tubers in April through May before they sprout too many leaves. Once you receive your tuber, float it in a shallow container in a sunny warm location. The tuber will start to open leaves that float on the water and then the leaves will begin to stand up.
If the outside weather is warm enough (above 60 degrees) the tuber can be transferred to a Lotus Garden or potted and placed in the shallow water of your garden pond. Cover your lotus tuber with no more than 3-4 inches of soil and fertilize every 2 weeks with 2 aquatic plant fertilizer tablets for the best results. Keep the plant submerged or constantly moist and in full sun. Your lotus may not flower the first year you plant it but if you’re patient enough they’re worth the wait. Sometimes blooms can be encouraged sooner by keeping the lotus pot closer to the surface where the water will become warmer sooner.

4yr conspiracy 2017
If I didn't move outside of ohlaio, I definitely would have made lynnaluvers.com. Even after the Trump campaign,even after the Muslim influence that nbc seems to be guided by. The reason is the god anchor would have still been a pioneer in neo. She would still be married, but she would still be the 1st East Asian Anchor in neo. She would still say questionable things or act questionable but isn't that what drove lynnaluvers.com? I believe the only thing that would have stopped me from making lynnaments and ending lynnaluvers sooner would be her telling me to stop after my first month writing. The argument still remains that people write about sport stars all the time, yet sadly these days some of those stars and writers do end up dead way too soon.
After 4 yrs I still believe there's a conspiracy. Maybe not all of the conspiracy is in the god anchors basket but she is/was definitely part of it. After these 4yrs the conspiracy has grown into a monstrous network. In the beginning the conspiracy was just in neo but it seems since I left neo the conspiracy has followed me. Is it my fault the conspiracy haunts me? Is it the god anchors fault that the god anchor is a pioneer? Is it my fault that the god anchor is viewed as Superior yet conspiratorial? How do you fault someone that views someone in a negative or positive light? Maybe my views helped drive the conspiracy. Am I supposed to hate god because someone may think God is a man? Through out the 4 yrs the conspiracy is still potent and without lynnaments, the conspiracy probably would have driven the blogger further down this rabbit hole. Could it be that the intention of the conspiracy was/is to persuade me deep in the rabbit hole until I transform into a rabbit or a worm. Maybe the conspiracy saw more worm in me than rabbit hence my ostracization.
