Oct 12 thru 24...Where to go?
Thread: Oct 12 thru 24...Where to go?
My question for you guys..........
Where do we go?If you could do any section you wanted, what section would you do?ME, NH, MA?Where is the best wildlife, vistas, etc.?
Maine is wonderful at this time of year, tho you may run into some weather towards the end of the trip. I'd save New Hampshire for another time. But if not Maine, I'd look at doing the entire state of Vermont. (VT section is 150 miles and takes most folks 9-12 days so your time frame would be perfect). Bradley Airport in Western MA is close to the VT/MA line; so is Albany. You could finish your trip in Hanover NH. The Lebanon and Manchester NH airports aren't far, or you could easily get back to Bradley or Albany. Weather will be milder in Southern New England (CT or MA) but the scenery is much better in VT and you'll pretty much have the woods to yourself. Have a great trip!
Vermont wo9uld be my choice. Glastonbury, Killington and Stratton are awesome. Fire towers on the top of each. Ski gondola free for hikers down to stratton village for breakfast. Resupply in bennington. Inn at Long Trail (McGrath's) - awesome Guinness and Irish music....
Just drive up and start where you last left off.. so how much do you want for those tickets?
Also what about heading out west and do something different and come back to the AT next year?Just a thought. Have fun planning!
A good friend will bail you out of jail but a great friend will be sitting beside you saying "Man that was fun!"


But, if you say your message everyone will hear it right?Wrong, video is a visual thing. Believe it or not the audience are getting most of their information from the visuals, whatever they are hearing!
This is where editing comes into its own because one of our great editors will be able splice your film into a message delivery system of unparalleled magnitude. And that's big!
So you're going to need some text on your video, the odd graph or pie chart maybe?Well no problem, we can get these looking lovely and groovy and we'll use your brand styles, fonts and colours to make sure everyone knows – it's your video!
Chances are you're going to want people to watch your final film and that's probably going to involve some new fangled computer, web thing. But never fear, we'll sort it out for you; QuickTime, AVI, FLV, WMV, OMFI, HTML, HSBC, FROG…Whatever you want; if you want it to appear on a computer, (post-it note stuck to the front?

Firefighters Prepare for Fire Season
As drought conditions continue to have a strong hold on California, the Belmont Fire Department is hosting wildland fire training for firefighters in the Central Training Division (San Bruno to Belmont) during the month of May, to sharpen their wildland firefighting skills. The training is being held in various locations in the western hills area of Belmont. No live fire is used during these training events.
Training such as this  early start to the State wildland fire season, which typically begins in late June - early July. However, this year the season was declared on May 5th. This training helps to ensure the firefighters are prepared for what could be an extremely busy fire season. In fact, this week firefighters from San Mateo County deployed to assist with the fires in San Diego County, as part of a State Office of Emergency Services Strike Teamproperty against wildfire, go to the San Mateo County Fire Safe Website at

There are also several other important parts that work in-conjunction with the timing belt such as timing belt idlers, tensioners and oil seals. As the timing belt is exposed to heat and various substances such as road grime and oil along with the strain of everyday driving it starts to stretch. After the belt starts this stretching process it gets loose and begins to wear on the teeth of the belt, it also effect camshaft position which in turn effects timing and can also have a affect on fuel mileage and engine performance (This belt tension should be checked in between timing belt replacements).
Now the reason timing belt jobs are costly if done right is because it takes several hours and several hundred dollars worth of parts. You don’t just put another belt on and off you go because you have those other parts I mentioned earlier with the same wear as the belt and believe me most of the time these parts don’t last until its time to do the belt again. I don’t know how many engines I’ve seen destroyed due to a water pump failure and stripping the teeth off the timing belt or oil seals that were not replaced saturating a new belt with the same results… A nd many people tell there mechanic to just put the belt on and not the associated parts because money is tight. And then in a few weeks having their car towed in because it just quit running and they can’t understand why since they just had all the maintenance done, but they failed to have the water pump replaced with the belt and it locked up and wiped the belt out which in turn wiped their engine out.


Although this was the LAST card in the Major Arcana that I completed (which perhaps bodes well for the project?
This was in many ways the easiest card in the whole Major Arcana to put together, once I stopped being afraid of it. Its message, after all, is simple: bounty, sunshine, joy, happiness and accomplishment. Perhaps the latter more than anything. Although this design contains a nod to traditional tarot imagery in the form of the horse and rider(s) -- an element left over from my original design for The Chariot -- I part company with tradition over this card because I dislike naked children (who would not be appropriate in a circus in any case!
Actually, my favorite SUN card design is in a deck that I have issues with. Ciro Marcelli is an accomplished digital artist who has produced three full tarot decks and a Lenormand, all of which have been embraced by the tarot community. For me, everything that Marcelli does looks just a little bit too much like the cover of a Romance novel...

As Joe Biden mulls 2020 run, hometown Scranton asks: ‘Can his family go through all this?'
DAVID SWANSON/Philadelphia Inquirer/TNSsays she would support Scranton native Joe Biden if he were to run for president in 2020 (DAVID SWANSON/Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS)
Andrew SeidmanThe Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS)
There may be no bigger supporter of Joe Biden than Evie Rafalko McNulty, a local officeholder and longtime family friend who remembers getting a consolation call from the vice president of the United States when her husband died from cancer in 2016.
She's thrilled about the prospect of a Biden candidacy in 2020. But she worries about “Joey Biden,” the 76-year-old who proudly calls this former industrial city of 78,000 people his boyhood hometown.
“It's not how it's going to affect us. It's  said in an interview in her office here, where she keeps photos of Biden and her on display. “People are just genuinely concerned.”
General support, but also doubts
This pre-primary anguish is vexing Scranton as the Democratic Party weighs how best to challenge President Donald Trump, who sealed his Electoral College victory in 2016 in part by winning over
One debate consuming the party is whether Democrats should focus on winning back those working-class voters — a strategy that would argue in favor of Biden — or double down on the liberal insurgency that fueled inspiring, if unsuccessful, statewide 2018 campaigns by candidates like Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Beto O'Rourke in Texas.
Northeast Pennsylvania — a favorite spot to visit for politicians who want to burnish their credentials as regular human beings — is an important piece of the puzzle: Trump flipped two counties, Luzerne and Northampton, that Barack Obama had carried in 2012, and closed the margin here in Lackawanna County.
TPennsylvania since 1988, returned to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre twice during the midterm campaign. Other surrogates like Vice President Mike Pence and Trump's son Eric have also made trips to the area. “I've probably spent more time in Scranton than Hillary,” Eric Trump joked during an October campaign stop here for GOP candidates. (Hillary Clinton was born in Scranton, where her father grew up.)
Laurie Cadden, 57, said her son graduated from Penn in the same class as Biden's granddaughter, and the two families sat near each other during the 2016 ceremony.
“My mom said, ‘Vice President Biden, you're from Scranton!' He goes, ‘Scranton, oh my God!'” Cadden recalled. “He comes running over. He was literally right behind us. He pushed the Secret Service away. He comes over and he's shaking our hands. ‘I love Scranton, it's where I was born. I love the attitude of the people.’”
‘Might be perceived as old guard’
A couple tables over, Bill Byron, an architect, said he personally supported Biden but thought he “might be perceived as s,” he said, referring to the California senator who formally jumped into the race Monday.
Sitting across from Byron was John Palumbo, also an architect, who said the partyto beat Trump. “If you could beat Trump,” he told a reporter, “I'd vote for you.”
And whatever appeal Biden may have in working-class areas like Scranton, some residents are clamoring for a younger leader.
“We believe he's one of us,” said Elaine Donly, 64, who was sitting in an espresso shop across from the county courthouse. “And so what better person to be in the White House?”said, adding, “We're in a quagmire here. We need to get out.”
“W,” Donly said. But she said she isn't sure Biden would be a viable candidate who could unite the country, and the stakes are too high to take any chances.
Still, if he can beat Trump
Some of the vice president's supporters here can't help but think Biden would have saved the country from Trump. They take solace, in part, in the idea that he could be the one to stop him — so long as he's up for the task.
“I think that's the general consensus: if he runs, great,” said Patrick Lavelle, a Scranton-area lawyer. “But there is concern that, just the exercise of running would take its toll on him. I would wonder if that's a risk that he should take.”
McNulty, the recorder of deeds whose late husband Jim was mayor of Scranton in the 1980s, recalled reading that Biden was Trump's “greatest fear.” But she wants to be assured a run would “be the best thing for him.”
“I said, ‘Joe, let's face it, I too am 76. My pitches are hitting the dirt before they're going over home plate,'” said Bell, who voted for Trump and called Biden the only Democrat who could beat the president.
“And he laughed about it: ‘Oh, Tom, jeez, don't say that. I may need you soon,'” Bell said. “That's what he said: ‘I may need you soon.’”

How do you pick a coach?
Accreditation (current or historic) via the Association for Coaching or the ICF is advisable. It's your guarantee. Whatever training or membership a coach has, without having been accredited at least once they have not demonstrated their professional skills and experience in relation to their peers. Would you go to an unaccredited doctor, lawyer or accountant?


"Most people that I know around the electric industry think that Barton has come closer to a workable bill than any of the prior bills, but there are all kinds of very troublesome issues still there," Rowe remarked. "I think the odds are very much against this all being pulled together in this session, but if it does it will be a legislative triumph for one very important member and one particular bill and not a document that hammers out all the issues that we're all groping with."
Markey was the most critical of the measure last week, saying it should be called "electric futility legislation." Although a stong advocate of federal legislation, he said there was something "very wrong" with the Barton measure. "It does not de-monopolize the utility industry. It deregulates the monopolies in a manner which will free them to engage in a wide range of unfair, predatory and manipulative practices....."
"We have a long way to go on this bill," remarked Hall, the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee. And Dingell warned Barton not to go to markup without a clear consensus from subcommittee members. The time for major restructuring legislation "may not yet have arrived."
In their testimony before the subcommittee, FERC Chairman James Hoecker andvoiced their support for federal restructuring legislation in general, and a number of provisions in the Barton bill specifically, but they also proposed several changes. Commissioners Curt Hebert Jr. and Vicky Bailey, on the other hand, questioned the need for any type of federal legislation. Bailey worried it "would lock into place a 1999-vintage vision for the [electric] industry, when that vision might very well be overtaken by technological or other advances in future years."
Both Hoecker and DOE's Deputy Energy Secretary T. J. Glauthier were concerned by the bill's failure to give FERC authority to remedy market-power concerns in retail power markets. Barton said this was omitted because the states that have restructured their markets already have dealt with the issue. ".....
Hoecker further proposed the Commission be given the ability to modify utility proposals for forming RTOs. The Barton draft would limit FERC's authority to an up or down vote. Barton believes utilities should have a free rein in creating tailor-made RTOs. "We wanted to limit the FERC's discretion [in this area]. Why would you assume that five commissioners.....would have more perfect knowledge than the market participants themselves that are creating the RTOs?"
On the issue of transmission, the DOE's Glauthier objected to the bill's provision that would limit FERC authority to only unbundled transmission, while state regulators would oversee bundled transmission. This "distinction.....would balkanize the regulation of transmission and could have a potentially chaotic impact on the development of competitive markets."


Морская корова, или сте́ллерова коро́ва, или также капу́стница () — истребленное человеком млекопитающее отряда сирен. Открыта в 1741 году экспедицией Витуса Беринга. Русское название получила в честь натуралиста Георга Стеллера, врача экспедиции, на описаниях которого базируется значительная часть информации об этом животном.
Стеллерова корова обитала только у побережья Командорских островов, хотя современные палеонтологические данные говорят, что в доисторическую эпоху её ареал был заметно шире. Последовавшее вслед за открытием хищническое истребление ради вкусного мяса привело к полному исчезновению этого животного к 1768 году.
Стеллерова корова была животным очень крупных размеров. По длине и массе тела она, вероятно, превосходила всех остальных водных млекопитающих, кроме китообразных (достигая 7—8 м длины, пяти и более тонн веса) и своего ближайшего родственника и вероятного предка — гидродамалиса Куэста (длина тела более 9 м при вероятной массе до 10 тонн). Капустница вела малоподвижный образ жизни, держась в основном близ берега; по-видимому, она не была способна нырять. Кормом стеллеровой корове служили исключительно морские водоросли, прежде всего ламинария («морская капуста»). Поведение данного животного отличалось медлительностью, апатичностью и отсутствием страха перед человеком. Эти факторы, облегчавшие людям добычу коров, способствовали её быстрому исчезновению. Сыграла роль и невысокая общая численность коров на момент открытия — всего около двух тысяч.
Появляющиеся изредка сообщения о наблюдении морских коров в ряде районов Камчатского края не подтверждены. В музеях всего мира сохраняется значительное количество костных остатков капустниц, в том числе несколько полных скелетов, а также кусков их кожи.
Впервые люди увидели морских коров в ноябре 1741 года (если не считать гипотетических контактов с ними доисторических обитателей Азии и Северной Америки и/или более поздних аборигенных племён Сибири), когда судно командора Витуса Беринга «Святой Пётр», совершавшее экспедиционное плавание, потерпело крушение при попытке встать на якорь у острова, впоследствии названного именем Беринга.
Георг Стеллер, натуралист и врач экспедиции, был единственным специалистом с естественнонаучным образованием, кто лично видел и описал этот вид. После кораблекрушения он заметил с берега в море несколько больших продолговатых предметов, похожих издали на днища перевёрнутых лодок, и вскоре понял, что видел спины крупных водных животных. Однако первая корова была добыта людьми из этой экспедиции лишь в конце их десятимесячного пребывания на острове, за шесть недель до отплытия. Употребление в пищу мяса морских коров очень помогло путешественникам, поддержав их силы во время трудоёмкой постройки нового судна.
Большинство более поздних сообщений основывается на работе Стеллера «О зверях морских» (), впервые изданной в 1751 году. Стеллер полагал, что имеет дело с ламантином (), и в своих записках отождествил морскую корову с ним, утверждая, что это то самое животное, которое в испанских владениях в Америке называют «манат» (). В качестве нового вида морскую корову описал известный немецкий зоолог Э. Циммерман в 1780 году. Ставшее общепризнанным биноминальное название Hydrodamalis gigas (родовое название буквально означает «водяная корова», видовое — «гигантская») виду дал шведский биолог А. Я. Ретциус в 1794 году.
Важный вклад в изучение морской коровы внёс американский зоолог норвежского происхождения, биограф Стеллера Леонард Штейнегер, проведший на Командорах исследования в 1882—1883 годах и собравший большое количество костей этого животного.
Облик и строение
Внешность и особенности строения
Внешность капустницы была характерной для всех сиреновых, за исключением того, что стеллерова корова намного превосходила своих сородичей по размеру. Тело животного было толстым и вальковатым. Голова была в сравнении с размерами тела очень небольшой, причём корова могла свободно двигать головой как в стороны, так и вверх-вниз. Конечности представляли собой сравнительно короткие закруглённые ласты с суставом посередине, оканчивавшиеся роговым наростом, который сравнивали с конским копытом. Тело оканчивалось широкой горизонтальной хвостовой лопастью с выемкой посередине.
Кожа стеллеровой коровы была голой, складчатой и чрезвычайно толстой и, по выражению Стеллера, напоминала кору старого дуба. Цвет её был от серо- до тёмно-коричневого, иногда с беловатыми пятнами и полосами. Один из немецких исследователей, изучавший сохранившийся кусок кожи стеллеровой коровы, установил, что по прочности и эластичности она близка к резине современных автомобильных покрышек. Возможно, такое свойство кожи было защитным приспособлением, спасавшим животное от ранений о камни в прибрежной зоне.
Ушные отверстия были настолько маленькими, что почти терялись среди складок кожи. Глаза были также очень небольшими, по описаниям очевидцев — не больше, чем у овцы. Мягкие и подвижные губы были покрыты вибриссами толщиной со стержень куриного пера. Верхняя губа была нераздвоенной. Зубов у стеллеровой коровы не было вовсе. Пищу капустница перетирала с помощью двух роговых пластин белого цвета (по одной на каждой челюсти). Шейных позвонков было, по разным данным, 6 или 7. Судя по найденным скелетам, в позвоночнике было порядка 50 позвонков (не считая грудного).
Наличие у стеллеровой коровы выраженного полового диморфизма остаётся невыясненным. Однако самцы были, по-видимому, несколько крупнее самок.
Стеллерова корова практически не подавала звуковых сигналов. Она обычно лишь фыркала, выдыхая воздух, и только будучи раненой могла издавать громкие стонущие звуки. Видимо, это животное обладало хорошим слухом, о чём свидетельствует значительное развитие внутреннего уха. Впрочем, коровы почти никак не реагировали на шум подплывавших к ним лодок.
Стеллерова корова была очень крупным животным. Сам Стеллер, детально описавший самку коровы, оценивал длину её тела в 295 дюймов (около 7,5 м). Самая большая документально зафиксированная длина морской коровы составляет 7,88 м. У самки длиной 7,42 м окружность шеи и затылка составляла 204 см, окружность туловища на уровне плеч 3,67 м, наибольшая окружность туловища посредине в задней части брюха 6,22 м, длина хвоста от анального отверстия до хвостовых лопастей 192,5 см, окружность хвостового стебля в месте отхождения лопастей 143 см, расстояние между концами хвостовых лопастей 199 см. Высказывались предположения, что длина морских коров могла быть заметно большей, но некоторые учёные полагают, что 7,9 м были уже верхним пределом; тем не менее, называется и длина в 9—10 м. В обхвате самка, измеренная Стеллером, имела 22 фута (6,6 м).
Что касается массы тела, то она была весьма значительной — порядка нескольких тонн. В разных источниках приводятся варьирующие цифры: около 4 т, 4,5—5,9 т, до 10 т или от 5,4 до 11,2 т, то есть стеллерова корова могла быть даже тяжелее африканского слона. Вес самки, измеренной Стеллером, был около 3,5 т. В любом случае стеллерова корова по весу была, видимо, на первом месте среди всех млекопитающих, ведших водный образ жизни, за исключением китообразных (превосходя по среднему весу даже такого гиганта, как южный морской слон).
Бо́льшую часть времени стеллеровы коровы кормились, медленно плавая на мелководье, часто используя передние конечности для опоры на грунт. Они не ныряли, и их спины постоянно высовывались из воды. На спину коровам часто садились морские птицы, выклёвывавшие из складок кожи прикреплявшихся там ракообразных (китовых вшей). Коровы подходили так близко к берегу, что иногда до них можно было дотянуться руками. Обычно самка и самец держались вместе с детёнышем-сеголетком и молодым прошлого года, в целом же коровы обычно держались многочисленными стадами. В стаде молодняк находился в середине. Привязанность животных друг к другу была весьма сильной. Описано, как самец в течение трёх дней приплывал к убитой самке, лежавшей на берегу. Так же вёл себя и детёныш другой самки, забитой промышленниками. О размножении капустниц известно мало. Стеллер писал, что морские коровы моногамны, спаривание происходило, по-видимому, весной.
Стеллеровы коровы кормились исключительно морскими водорослями, в изобилии росшими в прибрежных водах, прежде всего морской капустой (отчего и произошло название «капустница»). Кормящиеся коровы, срывая водоросли, держали голову под водой. Через каждые 4—5 минут они поднимали голову за новой порцией воздуха, издавая при этом звук, несколько напоминавший лошадиное фырканье. В местах, где коровы кормились, волны выбрасывали на берег в большом количестве нижние части талломов («корни» и «стебли») поедаемых ими водорослей, а также помёт, похожий на конский навоз. Во время отдыха коровы лежали на спине, медленно дрейфуя в тихих заливах. В целом поведение капустниц отличалось исключительной медлительностью и апатией, они совершенно не опасались людей. Зимой коровы сильно худели, так, что наблюдатель мог пересчитать их рёбра.
Продолжительность жизни стеллеровой коровы, как и у её ближайшего родственника дюгоня, могла достигать девяноста лет. Естественные враги этого животного не описаны, но Стеллер говорил о случаях гибели коров подо льдом зимой. Он также говорил, что в шторм капустницы, если они не успевали отойти от берега, часто погибали от ударов о камни при сильном волнении.
Состояние поголовья на момент открытия
Подсчёты, сделанные в 1880-е годы Штейнегером, говорят, что поголовье стеллеровой коровы во всём их ареале на момент открытия этого вида едва ли превышало полторы тысячи особей. В 2006 году была проведена оценка всех факторов, которые могли привести к быстрому исчезновению коров. Результаты показали, что при первоначальной численности в полторы тысячи животных, одной лишь хищнической добычи нескольких сот особей в год было более чем достаточно для истребления капустниц в течение двух-трёх десятилетий.
Согласно оценкам 2002—2004 годов, при существовавшей численности морских коров, безопасной для их поголовья была бы лишь добыча не более 17 голов в год. Однако подсчитано, что промышленники вылавливали в среднем по 123 коровы ежегодно в период между 1743 и 1763 годами. Пик забоя коров пришёлся на 1754 год, когда было убито свыше 500 голов. При первоначальном поголовье в полторы тысячи экземпляров такой темп добычи должен был привести к 95 % исчезновению коров к 1756 году. То, что последние коровы исчезли около 1768 года, говорит, видимо, о наличии ещё одной популяции у острова Медный; в этом случае общая численность могла быть около 2900 голов.
Согласно некоторым исследованиям, ареал стеллеровой коровы значительно расширился в период пика последнего оледенения (около 20 тыс. лет назад), когда Северный Ледовитый океан был отделён от Тихого сушей, находившейся на месте современного Берингова пролива, — так называемой Берингией. Климат в северо-западной части Тихого океана был суше и холоднее современного, а уровень мирового океана ниже, что позволило стеллеровой корове расселиться далеко на север вдоль побережья Азии и Северной Америки по обширным мелководьям Берингии. В более южных и тёплых районах Азии она, вероятнее всего, была истреблена древними людьми уже тысячи лет назад.
Ископаемые находки, относящиеся к позднему плейстоцену (130 - 20 тыс. лет назад), подтверждают факт широкого распространения стеллеровых коров в этой географической зоне, от островов Рюкю (Япония) до берегов Калифорнии. Обитание стеллеровой коровы в ограниченном ареале у незаселённых людьми Командорских островов относится уже к наступлению голоцена. Исследователи не исключают, что в других местах корова исчезла ещё в доисторическое время из-за преследования местными охотничьими племенами. Для первобытных людей стеллерова корова была лёгкой и желанной добычей, при этом алеуты появились на Аляске более 8700 лет назад. Однако некоторые американские исследователи полагали, что ареал стеллеровой коровы в прибрежной материковой части Северной Америки мог сократиться еще раньше, 11 - 12 тыс. лет назад, из-за истребления первобытными охотниками. Российские генетики, исследовав палеоДНК, извлечённую из полуископаемых костей одной из последних коров на Командорских островах, датированных XVIII веком, пришли к выводу, что ареал стеллеровой коровы, из-за потепления климата и затопления прибрежных мелководий в начале голоцена, вероятно, резко сократился и распался на изолированные участки, что привело к снижению генетического разнообразия и численности этого вида еще до воздействия первобытного человека. Неизвестно, привело бы это в итоге к вымиранию коровы, но это сделало малочисленные изолированные популяции стеллеровых коров уязвимыми перед охотниками.  Не вызывает сомнений тот факт, что последняя популяция стеллеровых коров у Командорских островов истреблена людьми, а низкое генетическое разнообразие не мешало этой популяции существовать тысячи лет до момента её открытия человеком и безжалостного истребления всего за несколько десятилетий.
Данные, приводимые специалистами Международного союза охраны природы (МСОП), утверждают, что стеллерова корова в XVIII веке, скорее всего, обитала также и у западных Алеутских островов, хотя советские источники более ранних лет указывали, что данные об обитании коров в местах за пределами их известного ареала основаны только на находках их трупов, выброшенных морем. В 1960—70-е годы отдельные ископаемые кости стеллеровой коровы были найдены также в Японии и в Калифорнии. Единственная известная находка сравнительно полных скелетов капустницы за пределами её известного ареала была сделана в 1969 году на острове Амчитка (Алеутская гряда); возраст трёх найденных там скелетов оценивался в 125—130 тысяч лет. В 1971 году появилась информация о находке левого ребра морской коровы при раскопках эскимосского стойбища XVI века на Аляске в бассейне реки Ноатак, за 2000 км от Командорских островов. Был сделан вывод, что в позднем плейстоцене стеллерова корова была широко распространена у Алеутских островов и побережья Аляски, пока климат этого района был достаточно холодным и сухим, и уровень моря был ниже современного. Возможные следы преследования стеллеровых коров древними людьми в прибрежной зоне теперь скрыты из-за поднятия уровня моря в голоцене. Корова, скелет которой был найден на острове Амчитка, несмотря на молодой возраст, по размеру не уступала взрослым экземплярам с Командорских островов.
Экологические связи стеллеровой коровы
Значительной была роль стеллеровой коровы в экологическом балансе, прежде всего, из-за поедания этим животным значительного количества водорослей. В местах, где морские коровы выедали водоросли, увеличивалась численность морских ежей, составляющих основу питания каланов. Не исключено, что благодаря снижению количества водорослей облегчалась и подводная охота на рыбу стеллерова баклана (поэтому возможно, что исчезновение стеллеровой коровы послужило косвенно одной из главных причин вымирания этой птицы). Отмечается, что доисторический ареал стеллеровой коровы совпадал с ареалом калана. В целом специалисты полагают, что экологическая взаимосвязь стеллеровой коровы и калана была значительной. Истребление промышленниками каланов у Командор могло стать дополнительным фактором вымирания капустниц.
Когда морские коровы исчезли, крупные водоросли образовали в прибрежной полосе Командорских островов сплошные заросли. Результатом этого стали застой прибрежных вод, их бурное «цветение» и так называемые красные приливы, названные так из-за красного цвета воды вследствие интенсивного размножения одноклеточных водорослей-динофлагеллят. Токсины (некоторые из которых сильнее яда кураре), вырабатываемые отдельными видами динофлагеллят, могут накапливаться в организме моллюсков и других беспозвоночных животных, по трофической цепи доходя до рыб, каланов и морских птиц, и приводить к их гибели.
Родство с другими сиреновыми
Стеллерова корова — типичный представитель сиреновых. Её наиболее ранним известным предком являлась, по-видимому, дюгонеобразная миоценовая морская корова , ископаемые остатки которой описаны в Калифорнии. Изучение митохондриальных ДНК показало, что эволюционное расхождение морских коров и дюгоней произошло не позднее 22 млн лет назад. Непосредственным предком капустницы может считаться морская корова Hydrodamalis cuestae, обитавшая в позднем миоцене, около 5 млн лет назад.
Ближайшим современным родственником стеллеровой коровы является, скорее всего, дюгонь. Стеллерова корова причислена к одному с ним семейству дюгоневые, однако она выделяется в отдельный род Hydrodamalis. Все сирены образуют сестринскую группу по отношению к хоботным.
Забой стеллеровых коров людьми
Прибывавшие на Командорские острова промышленники, добывавшие там каланов, и исследователи охотились на стеллеровых коров ради их мяса. Забой капустниц был простым делом — эти вялые и малоподвижные, не способные нырять животные не могли уйти от преследовавших их на лодках людей. Загарпуненная корова, однако, часто проявляла такую ярость и силу, что охотники стремились отплыть от неё подальше. По словам Стеллера,
Обычным способом ловли стеллеровых коров была добыча с помощью ручного гарпуна. Иногда их убивали и с применением огнестрельного оружия. Способ вылова стеллеровых коров весьма подробно был описан Стеллером:
При таком способе лова в руки людей попадала лишь часть коров, остальные погибали в море от ран — по некоторым подсчётам, охотники получали только одну из пяти загарпуненных капустниц.
С 1743 по 1763 год на Командорских островах зимовали несколько партий мехопромышленников общей численностью до пятидесяти человек. Все они охотились на морских коров ради мяса. К 1754 году морские коровы были полностью истреблены у Медного острова. Считается, что последнюю корову у острова Беринга убил промышленник по фамилии Попов в 1768 году. В том же году исследователь Мартин Зауэр сделал в своём журнале запись об их полном отсутствии у этого острова.
Существует информация, что один из членов экспедиции Беринга, некий Яковлев, утверждал, что в 1755 году руководство поселения на о. Беринга издало указ о запрете охоты на морских коров. Однако к тому моменту местная популяция была уже, очевидно, уничтожена почти вся.
Основной целью охоты на стеллерову корову была добыча мяса. Один из участников экспедиции Беринга говорил, что от забитой коровы можно было получить до трёх тонн мяса. Известно, что мяса одной коровы хватало для пропитания тридцати трёх человек в течение месяца. Забитых коров употребляли не только зимовавшие партии, их также обычно брали с собой в качестве провизии отплывавшие суда. Мясо морских коров было, по отзывам пробовавших, превосходного вкуса. Стеллер писал:
Внутренности стеллеровой коровы (сердце, печень, почки) не отличались хорошими вкусовыми качествами, были жёсткими и, как писал Стеллер, обычно выбрасывались. Вытопленный из подкожного сала жир шёл не только в пищу, но употреблялся также для освещения. Налитый в лампу, он горел без запаха и копоти. Прочная и толстая кожа капустниц шла на изготовление лодок.
Сохранившиеся скелеты и кости
Костные остатки стеллеровых коров изучены достаточно полно. Их кости не являются редкостью, поскольку до настоящего времени попадаются людям на Командорских островах. В музеях всего мира находится значительное число костей и скелетов этого животного — согласно некоторым данным, такими экспонатами обладают пятьдесят девять мировых музеев. Сохраняются также несколько остатков шкуры морской коровы. Муляжи стеллеровой коровы, реконструированные с высокой степенью точности, имеются во многих музеях. Среди этого количества экспонатов есть несколько хорошо сохранившихся скелетов:
Из хранящихся в музеях костей были взяты образцы для секвенирования генома Стеллеровой коровы. В апреле 2021 года группой российских ученых был опубликован ядерный геном этого животного. Авторы анализа генома стеллеровой коровы предположили, что вымирание этого животного началось гораздо раньше прибытия первых людей в район Берингова моря. Анализ последовательности генома показал, что гетерозиготность последней популяции этого животного низка и сравнима с последней популяцией шерстистого мамонта, населявшей остров Врангеля несколько тысяч лет назад. В то же время, гетерозиготность современных популяций белого медведя, белухи и нарвала еще ниже, чем у стеллеровых коров в XVIII веке.

Возможность сохранности до наших дней
Стеллерова корова признана вымершей; статус её популяции согласно Международной красной книге — исчезнувший вид (). Тем не менее, иногда встречается мнение, что ещё некоторое время после 1760-х годов морские коровы изредка попадались туземцам российского Дальнего Востока. Так, в 1834 году два русско-алеутских креола утверждали, что на побережье острова Беринга видели «тощее животное с конусообразным туловищем, маленькими передними конечностями, которое дышало ртом и не имело задних плавников». Подобные сообщения, по слова
Несколько свидетельств, оставшихся неподтверждёнными, относятся даже к XX столетию. В 1962 году члены команды советского китобойца якобы наблюдали в Анадырском заливе группу из шести животных, описание которых было похоже на облик стеллеровой коровы. В 1966 году заметка о наблюдении капустницы была опубликована в газете «Камчатский комсомолец». В 1976 году в редакцию журнала «Вокруг света» поступило письмо от камчатского метеоролога Ю. В. Коева, который говорил, что видел капустницу у мыса Лопатка:
Ни одно из названных наблюдений не было подтверждено. Однако некоторые энтузиасты и криптозоологи даже в настоящее время полагают вероятным существование небольшой популяции стеллеровых коров в отдалённых и труднодоступных районах Камчатского края. Среди любителей ведётся дискуссия о возможности клонирования капустницы с использованием биологического материала, полученного из сохранившихся образцов кожи и костей. Если бы стеллерова корова сохранилась до современной эпохи, то, как пишут многие зоологи, при своём безобидном нраве она могла бы стать первым морским домашним животным.

On November 9th Google launched a page preview feature called “Instant Previews.” This tool offers people a way to quickly view what’s on a web page without leaving the Google search results.
With the new Instant Previews, people will likely be able to immediately spot the most promising pages among those listed in the search results. This will streamline the online search process by decreasing the need for people to bounce around from page to page until they find a satisfying result.
Google argues that if people are interested in the unpaid “editorial” results then that’s where they’ll stay searching, rather than going back and forth to the paid ads as well. In other words, previews aren’t blocking ads because if someone decides they want to focus on editorial results, they’re probably already ignoring the paid ads.
It is reported that paid ads will also get an Instant Preview feature in the future, but as of yet there is no set timeline for this.
Site-owners: Don’t like the idea of Google making previews of your pages? You can opt-out of Google’s. To do so, just make use of the nosnippets meta tag.
Web users: Don’t like the preview? Just don’t click on the magnifying glass to turn it on. If you already have, just click again to turn it off.

As part of our The Basics of College Placement Blog Series, we share an article with you from the NCAA and College Board (full article here)
Some people imagine the roar of a crowd at a packed football stadium when they think of college sports, but that's only part of the story. College sports come in a wide variety, including bowling, golf, wrestling, tennis, swimming and even Frisbee. And colleges offer the opportunity for every student to take part in sports — not just the elite student-athletes you see on TV.
Some varsity athletes are eligible for sports scholarships through their colleges.
Every student has an opportunity to play sports — thanks to clubs and intramural leagues.
Intramural leagues give all students a chance to participate.
What does “varsity” mean? Generally, college varsity sports teams:
The NCAA is the largest and most well known of the college sports associations. When you watch college sports on TV, you’re usually watching NCAA athletes. The NCAA oversees three levels of play:
Division I is the biggest and most competitive NCAA division. Colleges that compete in Division I must offer scholarships — many of them full — to their student-athletes.
Division III programs are the least competitive. Division III colleges do not offer sports-related financial aid. Still, these schools recruit athletes, and being one can help you get into a college that wants you in its program.
Students who can’t make the varsity team or who don’t want the intensity of varsity-level sports can join clubs and intramural leagues. Millions of college students take part in these teams each year as a way to compete, have fun and stay fit.


So I've gotten some books to read, following some nicely offered recommendations, but I also (re)discovered that my local library checks out DVDs in addition to books (go figure!
For example, in one episode, Donna appears (okay, the actress who played Donna on The West Wing but I am too lazy to go look up her real name) playing an assistant costume director who chastises one of the main characters for implying that he picked out his own wardrobe (when he appeared on The View, cross-pollination alert) when in fact it was Donna's boss, a woman named Maureen, who was responsible for all his wardrobe choices. And then, lo and behold, when the credits roll, the costume director for Sports Night...wait for it...is named Maureen!Oh Aaron, you are so clever...and so aware of your cleverness...
Does this mean I won't go see Charlie Wilson's War, the Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts vehicle also penned by Sorkin (which I have heard reviewed as "a really long episode of The West Wing"?
And finally, just once again for the record, MAN does Sorkin like to reuse actors!
But much more important: there are TWO seasons of Sports Night!
I THOUGHT there were two seasons, but the DVDs are apparently mislabeled at my library, so hooray for double the pleasure, fun, etc!

Howard Leight, San Diego, introduces HearForever, an initiative aimed to raise awareness of the dangers, risks, and consequences
HearForever personalizes the hearing conservation experience through a series of new advertisements and a special microsite.
"Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the world’s most permanent and preventable occupational diseases," said Renee S. Bessette, COHC, marketing manager for Howard Leight LLC, in a statement released by the company. "The goal of HearForever is to spark fresh consciousness and immediate action about NIHL among people from all walks of life.
The ad series addresses the connections between human interactions and hearing loss through thought-provoking images that question, and aim to inspire and empower people to make healthy hearing decisions as part of everyday life.
"The founding of the HearForever initiative—along with the considerable resources and investment dedicated to it and related outreach efforts—represents Howard Leight’s 30-year commitment to preventing occupational hearing loss by introducing innovative new hearing protection technology and products and promoting progressive Hearing Conservation Programs," she said.
The Web site provides information on the latest advances, research, and discoveries of noise-induced hearing loss detection and prevention, says the company. It is a source for educational, informative, and motivational materials to help prevent noise-induced hearing loss both on and off the job.
Using a "Learn, Educate, Connect" approach, the site is focused on hearing conservation for everyone exposed to hazardous noise. Facts, statistics, case studies, regulations, news updates, and tools focused on hearing conservation can be found in the "Learn" section. The "Educate" section provides participants with tools for outlining a detailed hearing conservation program. The "Connect" section helps to empower users to interact with HearForever and take action through blogs and "What Can I Do" activities.
In the statement, Bessette said that, over the years, thousands of people worldwide have shared personal stories, questions, and comments about hearing loss. "We aim to connect those involved with hearing conservation and hearing loss-prevention activities, to share their challenges and success stories, and ultimately inspire others," she said.
She noted that the HearForever initiative is especially timely given the proposed EPA rule change affectingon products, testing, and usage. "These impending changes will create many questions among users and purchasers of hearing products … the HearForever microsite will be an extensive educational portal that will answer these questions," she said.
Additional HearForever actions include hearing conservation seminar tours  seminar will include the distribution of materials such as free motivational posters, educational tools, and other outreach[Source: Howard Leight]

Why is HP interested in forest conservation?
At HP, we recognize that forests are critical for the future – more than just the future of our industry, but for our entire planet and the paper we print on. Nearly 50 percent of global forests are under threat of deforestation; in fact, forests are being destroyed at the pace of 27 soccer fields per minute.harmful to the environment, but it can be more sustainable than you think. Printing is an integral part of our society, and HP is taking decisive action to protect the world’s forests through sustainable forest management, as well as forest restoration and protection.
Forests are important to us, our customers and our partners, for the future of our natural world and for the longevity of our print business. We firmly believe that to address climate change and deforestation, companies like HP need to step up and go beyond just “doing less harm” to actively encouraging the restoration, protection and a thriving future of our forests.
HP has long been an advocate for responsible forestry. What has that journey looked like for HP and how has it led to this new partnership with WWF?
As the world’s leading printer company, y, and throughout its 80 years in business, we firmly believe that it has a responsibility and power to create a more sustainable future. Just look at your inbox and see how many emails you receive that have a “think before you print” message on them. So, HP set out to reinvent what it means to print sustainably for employees, for consumers and for the entire print industry. We want consumers to print smarter and therefore, more sustainably. So far, our journey has included achieving 100 percent zero deforestation paper, and we are well on our way toward reaching that goal for paper-based packaging – but we wanted to do more.
That’s why we teamed up with World Wildlife Fund – to broaden our efforts beyond responsible sourcing for our own business, to give more back to forests than we take out. Our collaboration is designed to protect, restore and improve the management of forests at a level that covers the paper that goes through HP’s consumer printers. Together, we’ll protect more than 200,000 acres over the next five years – that’s roughly the size of New York City.
We’re thrilled to be piloting our efforts to protect two vital ecosystems across both China and Brazil Even with recycling, reuse and a reduction in waste, a steady and dependable supply of wood is needed to meet the demand for paper products in China. But, currently China imports most of the wood it uses. This project will help advance more responsible forestry and forest products that originate in China.
And in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest (which spans Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina) is one of the most important – yet most threatened – ecosystems in the world. It is within one of the 11 deforestation fronts identified by WWF. These are areas where nearly 80 percent of all forest loss is expected to occur by 2030 if better strategies for forest conservation are not created and implemented.
When HP committed to creating a forest positive future for printing, we knew we had to bring together a group of experts in forest management and responsible sources, and naturally that meant we needed to partner with leading non-profits. Combining resources and expertise from across the industry is the only way to make lasting impact.
We’re thrilled to work with partners like WWF, International Paper and the Forest Stewardship Council in founding a new Sustainable Forests Cooperative – to think beyond just planting trees and instead focus on the entire ecosystem of the forest, including the animals and communities that depend on them and are directly impacted by forest degradation.
Most importantly, we are inviting non-profits and businesses, including our other supply chain partners, to join us our commitment to protect, restore and improvement management of forests for future generations.
Having a positive impact on forests is not just about reducing our footprint – it’s about coming together to create a larger area of thriving forests, for people, nature and business around the worldof recycled and FSC-certified fiber sourcing, while contributing to the longevity of the planet and our business.
We hope to inspire companies and consumers alike to take decisive action and to join us in preserving and improving our forest ecosystems. The time for more sustainable business models, greater cooperation and swift action is now.


Theological controversy has a proverbial name for ferocity; in the sixteenth century other qualities were added to this. In 1519 a young Englishman named Lee, who was afterwards Archbishop of York, ventured to criticize Erasmus’ New Testament, with a vehemence which under the circumstances was perhaps unsuitable. Erasmus of course resented this; and his friends, to cool their indignation, wrote and published a series of letters addressed to the offender: ’the Letters of some erudite men, from which it is plain how great is the virulence of Lee.’ Among the contributors was Sapidus, head master of the famous school at Schlettstadt, which was one of the first Latin schools of the age. His letter to Lee concludes with a disgusting piece of imagery, which would shock one if it proceeded from the most unpleasantly minded schoolboy. One cannot conceive a Head Master of Rugby appearing in print in such a way now.
There is one thing in the world which is constantly with us, and which has probably continued unchanged throughout all ages of history: the weather. Yet Erasmus’ writings contain no traces of that delight in brilliant sunshine which most Northerners feel, nor of that wonder at the beauties of the firmament which was so real to Homer. He frequently remarks that the weather was pestilent, that the winds blew and ceased not, that the sea was detestably rough and the clouds everlasting; but of the praise which accompanies enjoyment there is scarcely a word. His utmost is to say that the climate of a place is salubrious. He often describes his journeys. As he rode on horseback across the Alps or was carried down the Rhine in a boat, he must have had ample opportunity to behold the glories which Nature sometimes spreads before us in our Northern clime, and lavishes more constantly on less favoured regions. But the loveliness of blue skies and serene air, the glitter of distant snows, the soft radiance of the summer moon, and the golden architrave of the sunset he had no eyes to see.
Such indifference to the beauties of Nature admits, however, of some explanation. With a scantier population than that which now covers the earth, there was less agriculture and more of waste and unkempt places not yet reduced to the service of mankind. Solitudes were vaster and more complete. In a country so well cared for as England is to-day, it is difficult to imagine how unpleasing can be the aspect of land over which Nature still has the upper hand, how desolate and dreadful the great mountain areas which men now have to seek at the ends of the earth, where the smoke rises not and even the lone goatherd has not penetrated. To-day our difficulty is to escape from the thronging pressure of millions: we rarely experience what in the sixteenth century must often have been felt—the shrinking to leave, the joy of returning to, the kindly race

The piece needs sight editing and polishing, but on the whole, well done. I used the same premise, but it was in the relationship between my Exile and Atris.
The author is Romanian, and admits English is not her native tongue. That being said, there was little wrong with it that couldn't be fixed by a sight edit. What do you mean 'ravaged' hair?. But the day I can write coherently in Romanian, I'll really complain.

One year after TSL on Nar Shaddaa: A young scout gains an ally in the quest to bring the two Jedi heroes home.
The piece (I only read the first chapter, no time to read further) was well done, but a scout has to blend in, and having that be her worst skill is kinda bad. I assume the mission is self imposed, because if I were the officer ordering it, I wouldn't have sent her. But on the whole as I said, well done.

Seven years after TFU: Juno Eclipse mourns alone, but not for long
As I have said many times before, I have never played TFU, though I know the basic story line of it. The author has Juno having a brief relationship with the main character in the past, and had a daughter by him. The scene had a resonance with me because I met my second ex-wife the last year I worked the Renaissance Faire and she had an eight year old girl in tow. I almost expected Juno's line from here when she said the reason she hadn't seen me was the girl.
No, she wasn't my daughter. But for a moment, I thought that was what she was going to say. Here we have Galen making the same mistake in reverse. He sees the girl, assumes the woman he loved is with another, and ready to walk away.

Remember to sight edit. I only saw one flaw, using crafts instead of craft, so it's more my standard admonition rather than a scream of dismay.
The interplay between Revan and Atris is fun because you rarely see Jedi at each other's throat, and her own words given back to her by Carth 'you can't interrogate a dead body' was just icing on the cake.

Technical note, Dating: It isn't logical to use a dating system that doesn't even exist yet. It would be like having Julius Caesar talking to a modern news reporter and saying he wrote the phrase 'I came, I saw, I conquered' down in 47 BC, even though the dating system didn't exist yet.
Technical note, Royal ascension: The idea that she must be married to ascend the throne makes sense of a sort. My question is, why didn't the usurpers force her to marry into their family to legitimize their power grab?
The problem is that visibility is due to light wavelengths reflecting off an object. Perhaps the planet is only visible in specific wavelengths. But since the race that lives there is known, it would not take a forensic pathologist long to determine exactly which wavelengths their eyes use. Larry Niven in his Flannery of Terra series had the superspy constantly reporting what color frequencies aliens he had met saw with by something as simple as the colors of the clothes they wore.
KOTOR on Tatooine: What if you just asked the Dragon to move?
The idea intrigued me, and made me wish I had considered it when I wrote Genesis of a Jedi. I hated the 'you have to kill the dragon' scenario so much I actually came up with a rationale beyond just hunting him. Even then I had Calo Nord kill him.
I enjoyed the idea that it was here she discovered she had been Revan, and since I have never liked the human body becoming warped by the Dark side, that her beauty was only slightly affected by it.
Post KOTOR: In her mind, Revan cannot separate the two men that she loved, and cannot tell the one she is with now

The piece is on the whole, well written, though having the last battle between him and Manda'lor on the surface didn't feel right. First the Mass Shadow Generator should have crumpled everything except itself into the gravity well it created, rather than sparing the planet. Second, if he succeeded in destroying the Mandalorian fleet, what happened to the Republic ships further out? No one on his side would have complained about the battle if the fleet was still intact.

Grandma, 75, reflects on 500-mile walking pilgrimage
Wyman talked with Catholic San Francisco on Jan. 30, in the San Francisco home she shares with her husband of 43 years, Larry, and son Nathan. The following day she was due to share her story with the St. John of God parish community.
As she showed us her “credencial,” a passport-like document stamped with eThis was a rewarding experience,” she said, but no piece of cake.
“No doubt there is a connection to beingthe fact that at the age of 70, I chose to walk out my front door to complete this journey,” she said.
Wyman was raised on a farm in Illinois where her devout parents led the family in the rosary every night. She went to a convent school and a Jesuit university.
A longtime contemplative prayer practice also pushed her toward the Camino, she said, and helped her cope with its rigors.
Difficulties included a foot injury that hobbled her every step and unseasonable cold that forced her to pile on all the clothing in her backpack including her pajamas to stay warm.
Wyman said that as she merged with the Camino over many miles, she found herself in a near-constant state of prayer. Hers were not the prayers of her childhood, nor were they petitions..


Depending on who you associate with, it may be possible that you will soon be hearing of a new fitness routine, called the Centurion Method, invented by Craig Fraser. This man is a natural fitness guru if you will, and has been cultivating a series of workouts and techniques geared for the wild ‘barbarian and spearwife’ adepts. Those who wish to refine their body with rigorous training, and conditioning oneself to nature’s finest process of natural selection.
“The Centurion Method is a Revolutionary Training Program for the Post-Apocalyptic Hominid. We seek to create human beings cast of iron and cooled in blood and sweat.
Craig uses the REAL system to hone the skills, stamina, and dedication of the animal in human. Churning up the settled dust of our bodies, and the physical capabilities that have long been tamed, suppressed or ignored in favor of entertainment, convenience, and luxury. Forging a new being, truly living to the full.
“R. REALIS? C? ?
L. LOYALTY. Community bonds are what made the Legions so affective; brotherhood in the face of adversity was the only way to survive in such harsh situations. Training is focused on team activity, assistance, camaraderie and friendship.
I decided to buy the training manual that has a wealth of 100 routines start later this month. While I wait for the book I did a short forest excursion and sought out what could be useful in introducing my body to new stimulus that would be needed for the Centurion Method. I am very fond of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, but never was much into physical extremes, so this is entirely new to me. I think it would be useful when I have to become more self-sufficient, or solitary camping, and homesteading. First I did some flow yoga in my room then this is what I did in the period of an hour.
I have not been able to see the ‘workout proper’ so to speak, so this was just a taste, but even with these and a short walk through the woods while looking for available resources, I felt the endorphins building up and felt better mentally, and bodily. My body type is not built for any kind of broad-chested berserker form, and I don’t even like muscle but I look forward to what I can do to become closer to nature on her more aggressive scale and reform the self according to her law.

There is one shirt which I really, really like. The problem is, nobody else likes it. I may try to find matching garments, but the effort seems futile. My girlfriend says that the only way to make this shirt look good is to put it into a dumpster. I still don’t believe that it is the only way.
Fortunately, I am not the only person who has such a problem which means that there is a solution. In this case, the solution is kind of expensive. I could hire a stylist for a day. I could, but that does not mean that I will ever do it.
A.I. stylist
If I had an iOS phone instead of Android, I wouldn’t have to hire a stylist because Intelistyle created an app for people with wardrobe problems similar to mine.
Their app provides access to an A.I. stylist which is extremely easy to use. The users take pictures of the garments they already have. After that, they answer a few questions regarding their body type, skin tone, personal preferences, and the occasion they want to get dressed for. The app does the rest. It searches for the clothes appropriate for the occasion and picks the matching outfit.
Last week, I interviewed Michael Michelis, who is the COO and a co-founder of Intelistyle. During a brief conversation, we talked about the high-level building blocks of the Intelistyle’s A.I.
The solution consists of multiple models working together. The first model is trained to extract garments from pictures of outfits by finding bounding boxes. The second model detects attributes such as material, cut, colors, etc. Those features end up in a database and can be used by the recommender.
Intelistyle recommender in action
According to Michael, the goal of the company is to provide the best recommendations for users interested in the best quality outfits. He wants to make the service available to everyone who cannot afford a personal stylist or is interested in styling advice.

THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE FACILITY CAN BE A TOOL FOR REDUCING SOCIAL INEQUALITIES?
T32209
We invite you to read the Conference Charter.
Panel 1: National plans: Belgium, Italy and Spain
Many of you will be aware that the RRF is a tool designed to support member states in their post covid 19 recovery, focusing on digitalization, sustainability and inclusiveness to ensure a more resilient Europe in the coming years.
The first to respond was Alessandra Moretti (Italian, S&D) “according to EU guidelines a great part of the funds must be used my Member Statesame guidelines tells that the National Recovery and Resilience plans of each State has to include measures for eadequate social protection and gender equality.” In the past months together with S&D group they have proposed to introduce the obligation, for each member state, of preserving at least 37% of the expenses for gender equality. In Italy there is a specific need to improve the childcare services and adult training in all regions.
The second intervention was made by Pina Picierno, (Italian, S&D) who reinforced the speech already introduced by Alessandra Moretti by emphasising another very important issue for Italy: the territorial gap. “In no other country in Europe, except Germany in the 1990s, there is such a deep gap betwee. This is not the time of course to analyse the secular causes of this gap, which have their roots from Italy’s unification, but it suffice to say that the south of Italy has about one third of the total population, 34% to be precise, but it produces a GDP of barely a fifth of the country, about 20%, and consequently records a serious delay in the material and social infrastructures, making it one of the most underdeveloped macro-regions in Europe.” Another huge topic is the rate of unemployed women due to care needs is 35,7% as opposed to the European average is 31,8. This discouraging percentage is partially due to the bad condition of public services for children healthcare in the south of Italy, where is also very difficult to affirm that family care is, in fact, a job. A budget of 4.6 billion has been indicated for the improvement of school infrastructures in the south. As a MEP, her task is to make sure that what is written in the national plan is eventually concretely realized.
Sara Matthieu (Belgian, The Green) then began her speech by focusing on the general social aspects of the NRRF. “Member States signed the Porto eveloping the social dimension of the single market. (..) 1 European citizen in 5 lives in poverty or at risk of poverty. That is why Member States should be pushed for structural social investments, improving the system of structures, for example.” Some member states have suffered more from the austerity that Europe has imposed in the past: cuts in public health, social benefits, etc. She also believes that making all facilities work can be a turning point for equality. Belgium’s plan includes around €6 billion, was approved by the Commission in June and has put a strong emphasis on green transition and digitalisation, but there is also 26% of resources for social policies. The objectives are to invest in education to strengthen the inclusiveness of the labour market, which at the moment is not very inclusive. For example, there is a need to include people with an immigration background. The government wants to prevent temporary unemployment which was a good solution during the pandemic period to safeguard people’s incomes. She says that they know that weaker social groups will end up in these temporary unemployment schemes, so the Belgian government will provide education, training, etc., such as the reducto support them to enter the labour market. After that, she talks about measures: increasing childcare capacity, strengthen the performance of the education system Belgium’s plan includes funds to strengthen health care, as the country. To sum up, Mrs Matthieu says that the RRF is an important tool to achieve social reforms and ocially just Europe. Regarding her role in parliament, she believes that MEPs should check that each member state follows the rules.
Finally, before concluding the first panel Valentina Zoccali, Secretary General of S-Com explains how the debate on the Recovery and Resilience Facility fits into the Wise4Challenges project. Wise4challenges is a project created by S-Com and in line with the Wise4all campaign thatwomen’s participation to help build a just and inclusive society. Active participation is the main aspect of the WISE4Challenges project, which is why the partners represent different networks at local and European level. Starting from the beginning of the project there were 4 working groups on: green deal (led by WEP,BE), education and culture (led by Incoma,SP), health (led by University of Pisa,IT), social rights (led by Libera,IT). The activity on RRF is transversal to these 4 tables and led us to analyse the knowledge and needs of the citizens of Belgium, Spain and Italy. In preparation of the debate the MEPs were interviewed and their interviews can be seen through WISE4All youtube channel, meanwhile a trailer was shown to tell the work done.
Panel 2: Belgium, Italy and Spain data collected on RRF
After a short break of 15 minutes, the second panel opens with the project partners in their role as civil society mediators, i.e. those who collected requests from citizens. The panel will be moderated by Caterina Aiena, member of S-Com and responsible for the working groups of the WISE4Challenges project.
The first working group to speak was the one on the Green Deal managed by WEP and represented by Charlene Lambert and Grazia Rendo. Charlene Lambert began her speech by quoting Ursula von der Leyen: “gender equality is the fundamental principle of the EU, but it is not a reality”. Then, she says that this is WEP’s goal: to get more women to become entrepreneurs. The task of WEP was to collect as much qualitative data and report on women entrepreneurship, women farmers, young women in agriculture and their potential to guide and contribute to the Green Deal and Recovery Program. They wanted to remind peoplethat RRF and women’s entrepreneurship should be inextricably intertwined to be successful. She then presented data collected from citizens asking:
Co-operatives led by women can help support rural green entrepreneurship.
Multifunctional farming is important for rural development, securing the family farm and offering women farmers the possibility of their own financial security.
Then it is the turn of the second working group: Education and Culture, led by INCOMA, represented by Pilar Naranjo Río-Miranda who introduces by introducing Incoma, a training and research centre based in Seville, Spain and then talks about the survey she prepared – as a contribution to the Wise4Challanges project – “the future of Europe: education, gender equality and digital divide”. The aim of the survey was to find out in which aspect they would like to improve education and what they felt was missing during the pandemic, and how the pandemic itself affected the digital transition and gender equality in education. Through the survey they also wanted to know, from civil society, how they wanted to receive funds.
The third working group is dedicated to Health and carried out by the University of Pisa, represented here by Francesca Pecori. The research conducted by UNIPI aims to understand the importance of a gender perspective in medical practice in order to promote a health system that takesdivided into 3 phases:
Mapping and updated analysis of institutional actions aimed at promoting the development of gender medicine at international and EU level to identify the different approaches adopted in a comparative perspective
A qualitative of the Department of Medicine who attended Professor Rita Biancheri’s “gender and health” course to collect and analyse evaluations, opinions and suggestions.
Challenges emerged from the analyses:
Education and training of doctors and health system professionals.
Innovative research and data mining
Awareness-raising activities and involvement of people to achieve gender-sensitive communication
Exchange and improved internationalisation
For the WISE4Challenges project, Libera focused on Social Rights and Gender Equality by launching a qualitative research on how to improve the future of the EU from a gender perspective articulated in 3 steps:
They involved many EU networks
After explaining this, they reveal the results of their survey:
2% of respondents reported that the workplace is one of the levels of society most affected by gender discrimination
Interestingly, 69.6% of the respondents considered the right to a safe and healthy working condition as the most important social right to be protected
71% of respondents thought that improvements on gender equality should be particularly emphasised in the field of employment
The survey made several inputs for future work:
Decision-making needs an intersectional perspective
Decision-making needs gender objectives in budget allocations, gender impact assessments, gender analysis
Independent and international team of gender-focused lawyers and academics
Concluding the fruitful work done, which will be the basis for building the final recommendations to be sent to the institutions, Caterina Aiena presented some conclusions:
RRF is clearly a gender issue both in an active and passive way
Women feel abandoned by the state and are still the weakest link in European societies
Women believe that the RRF should be used as a remedy for past inequalities, through a more powerful welfarism and subsidiarity of the state
Women demand a better form of redress for economic injustice
All these points are fundamental and will be explored in more detail during the final events that the WISE4Challenges partner organisations will organise by December.
The surveys will therefore remain open until November for anyone who wants to have their say.
Thanking all participants, Valentina Zoccali and Caterina Aiena brought this important meeting to an end.

Volunteer centres throughout the country have had 10 to 25 per cent increases in volunteers, says Leisa de Klerk, the Manager of Dunedin and Waitaki for Volunteer South, a charitable trustIn the Trust’s Southern region between August and November, about 45 per cent of volunteers were aged under 30; 45 per cent aged between 30 and 59; and seven per cent aged over 60.
This trend is ongoing. She presumes the significant decrease in new volunteers who are older is because they can be at more risk from the Covid-19 virus. In addition, while some seniors have offered their energy and time, they haven’t found a suitable role.
Leisa says volunteering’s benefits involve connections.
Jobs are another benefit. In Dunedin within the past year, three volunteers from three separate organisations have ended up being employed at these places.
