guías de montaña

Aneto, which is the highest peak in the Pyrenees, is like a magnet for mountaineers. If you think that you are not prepared to be able to complete the climb safely, get in touch with a mountain guide.

How do i know if i’m prepared?

If you have never attempted such a daunting task(1,500 metres of altitude gained and over 10 hours on the move), put on a pair of crampons or handled an ice axe, or if you have vertigo or doubts about whether you will be able to cross Puente de Mahoma,be honest with yourself and acknowledge the fact that you are not prepared to safely and securely attempt this ascent.

If you decide to go to Aneto anyway, make sure you hire the services of a professional guide.

I have experience climbing three-thousanders, but my friends have almost none…

It is safe to say that not all members of a group will have the same level of experience. If this is the first time that some of your party will be experiencing the high mountains or using an ice axe and crampons, ask yourself if you are capable of ensuring the safety of the others in your group. Are you able to make the right decisions? Do you have sufficient technical knowledge to prevent your companions from slipping on the glacier or to safely cross over Puente de Mahoma? If not, seriously consider hiring the services of a guide.

Who are mountain guides?

Mountain guides are professionals with training in leading groups of people on mountain activities. In order to reach the summit of Aneto, you will need a qualified high-mountain guide (or a técnico deportivo de alta montaña in Spanish).

What does a guide do?

The guide’s job is not just to take you to the top, but also to provide you with help and assistance during all parts of the activity. They will manage all dangerous situations by minimising the risk and making decisions in the interest of safety at key moments. They will also provide you with any technical material you need and teach you how to use it.

In addition, local guides are fountains of knowledge when it comes to the area, and activities led by them are usually full of fun facts about its history, culture and nature.

Where can i find them?

Here is a list of businessesandguides who work in and around Benasque Valley.
In addition, the Aragonese government keeps a record of all adventure travel companies in the region that you can contact for this type of activity.

You can also search the Spanish Mountain Guides Association (AEGM) website.

Are you prepared? Valle de Benasque

7 of Swords Tarot Card Meanings

Holistic Tarot card meanings and correspondences for the 7 of Swords

7 of Swords Tarot Card Meanings

The 7 of Swords is often seen as a card of thievery, deception, and self-deception. From a spiritual point of view, the only thing that matters (because it is the only parameter within our control) is that we are truthful with ourselves and others. Let’s take a look at the 7 of Swords Tarot card meanings with that in mind.

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

The ego loves to deceive because that is how it stays in control. The lies we tell ourselves every day about ourselves, what we are capable of, the nature of life itself, and the evil nature of others (projections) will not dissipate until we are willing to go into the silence and become the observers of our own thoughts. This is a process and does not happen overnight. The observing Higher Mind has to be ever vigilant.

In the legal system in many countries, people are still made to place their hand on the Bible before giving testimony. This is a sort of self-check system which makes the witness have to face their own integrity levels because he is placing his hand on an item that represents that which is considered holy, pure, and sacred.

Would that more of us would do that, at least inwardly, before we speak because even those of us who only speak ‘innocent’ white lies or exaggerate the truth, create icky energy to be around and hold ourselves back from truly being who we are… And who we truly are is always so much better than the mask or persona we create with our lies.

“Reality denied comes back to haunt.”
― Philip K. Dick

Affirmation: “I allow my Higher Self to check my and edit my thoughts for truth; I speak without embellishments.”

7 of Swords Prayer

Dear Mother-Father God (or whichever higher power you acknowledge), forgive me my self-deception and help me be honest in thought, word and deed. So mote it be!

Correspondences for the 7 of Swords

Planet: Moon

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

Archangel: Gabriel (ruler of the Moon) and Uriel (angel of Aquarius)

Gemstone: Amazonite, lapis lazuli and celestite

Scent: Sulfur, mushroom and metal

The 7 of Swords in Love and Relationships

If this card describes your relationship or the person you are seeing, count on an element of deception! This is one of the truly nasty cards to see in a relationship reading and it doesn’t matter which way it is turned or what cards surround it.

The truth is being concealed on purpose and someone is trying to gain the upper hand by hiding vital facts from you.

For yourself, this card indicates a need to analyse the situation and make plans… but beware! You could be deceiving yourself. Is there someone you could ask for help to gain more insight into your situation?

Do Wolves Eat Snakes? (or Poisonous Snakes?)

We have always looked upon wolves as large canines and vicious animals. However, did you know that like humans, wolves too are socially active? Yes, most of the time, they wander about in groups (or packs). They show great devotion and attachment towards their pack members.

Typically, wolves hunt down and relish the joy of eating other animals. But is it the same when it comes to snakes? Wolves do consume snakes. However, snakes aren’t the primary source of food for them. They do not munch on them very frequently. Read on!

Can Wolves Eat Snakes?

It will come to nobody’s surprise that wolves go straight for the meat. They aren’t usually picky eaters, especially during the cold months when there is rarely any food. So, a wolf will not blink twice and will hunt and consume snakes.

However, since they hunt in packs, they need larger prey to predate for survival. Varying from species to species, research says that a typical wolf pack has as many as six wolves. Thus, their main food source is not snakes but big animals such as bison, deer, and moose.

Needless to say, these above-mentioned animals have sufficient meat content in them. Hence, they offer an excellent choice for hunting.

Now, killing a snake also depends on how opportunities present themselves. Wolves will never attack a snake unless an opportunity comes knocking at the front door. They will never turn down the chance but will enjoy it to the fullest.

Do Wolves Eat Dead or Poisonous Snakes?

Often, there is a misconception that animals that eat poisonous snakes end up dead themselves. However, we are here to clear the air and give out accurate information.

Yes, it is true that wolves eat such snakes. But, this predator will be poisoned to death only and only if the snake’s venom is passed on into its blood circulation.

Thus, to make it simpler, take an instance. If a wolf is to devour down a poisonous snake, it will be processed in the digestive system of the animal just like any other prey of its!

The scenario can take an abnormal twist if the wolf has an exposed wound inside of its system. In situations like these, there is a high possibility that the poison can spread its way to the bloodstream via the open sore. This can further lead to deadly problems.

Yet, another point to note is that wolves eat lifeless snakes as well. People have long recognized them for their blood-shedding activities.

But did you know that these animals do not seem to have a problem munching on the flesh, no matter how rotten it has grown? They will only see it as a means to please their hunger cravings.

Thus, wolves will not hesitate to eat snakes, even if they are lifeless or alive.

Do Wolves Eat Garter Snakes?

Before proceeding with this section, what are Garter snakes? They are one such type that is the most hunted, easily found, and not poisonous. Thus, this makes them utterly defenseless in nature.

In order to prevent themselves from being hunted by other animals, garter snakes will slither along tall grass stretches. Also, they will release an unpleasant musk odor when they feel physically assaulted.

Meat is found to be in as much as 90 percent of a wolf’s daily food intake. That will include eating a variety of small and big mammals, reptiles as well as garter snakes.

Usually, wolves prey on snakes by following the method of capturing them into their rein. Even though garter snakes are harmless to human beings, their saliva contains some level of toxicity that may sometimes make the wolf appear green around the gills.

Do Wolves Fight Snakes?

There is no need for wolves to fight snakes as they have the power to easily knock them off. On the contrary, a snake will give its best to save its life from the clutches of the wolf.

How Do Wolves Hunt Snakes?

Not many people would be familiar with the fact that wolves are gifted with extraordinary smelling intelligence.

As a matter of truth, when the smelling senses of human sand wolves are compared to each other, research says that wolves win by a margin of 100 times. They are looked upon as brilliant receptors when it comes to smell.

Indeed, the smell helps in bringing food to their notice and is a very important trait. Once the wolf manages to spot the snake, it becomes its reflex action to catch hold of the snake by its head. The wolf will keep its front paws to tightly grab the fighting body of the latter.

Another fascinating characteristic of wolves is that they have deadly and sharp teeth. The pressure coming from the jaw is very strong. It has the capacity to crush and slash down bones within the first three bites.

Thus, not only snakes but any small animal that sees itself in between a wolf’s piercingly dangerous canine fangs are gone for good.

Can a Snake Eat a Wolf?

Snakes do not consume wolves. The types of snakes that have the capability to eat wolves are adapted to summer-like climates. On the other hand, wolves are more likely to be found in colder regions.

As a result, there is a fat chance or absolutely no chance at all of the wolves coming across a pit of snakes.

On the other hand, there is another group of snakes that reside in cooler areas. However, they are not seen as a danger to any of the wolves out there as they’re too small, and can’t consume a whole wolf. Instead, they end up being eaten by wolves.

Are Snakes Afraid of Wolves?

In all times of life, snakes would always prefer to stay as far away from wolves as possible. Wolves have an intimidating stance and posture that may scare the snakes. So, snakes try to prevent themselves from being surrounded by them.

Answering the question, are snakes afraid of wolves – definitely yes. However, it is a basic tendency of every animal to struggle for its life, regardless of its fate.

What Other Animal Kills Snakes to Eat?

Fear is bound to set in when people come across a pool of snakes before their eyes!

Still, snakes do not make it to the top of the food cycle hierarchy while there are a number of other different animal kinds that possess the ability to grab and end their life the very next minute.

As part of natural causes, small as well as big non-venomous snakes are always at risk of losing their lives to other animals that stand above them in the food pyramid.

1. Birds of Prey

Owing to their exceptionally amazing eyesight, some birds can spot snakes while hovering in the air. They can take the snakes by the grip and kill them instantly. Over the years, there have been various eagle species that kill off this reptile. From this catch comes the name of the snake eagle.

There is yet another species of bird known as the Secretary Bird. It is found in the African continent and can take down snakes as well.

This bird species do not like to fly much. They only seem to attack first when they feel that their privacy is being violated when snakes make slithering sounds.

2. Domesticated Animals

Domesticated animals come under the category of those animals that kill snakes to eat. They can find snakes in the backyard or front garden and prey on them just as naturally as a cat hunts down mice for food.

However, a lot of restrictions follow when it comes to hunting of snakes by these pet animals. It is not an easy job and certainly not safe for the tame animal out there.

3. Hedgehog

Yes, you read it right. We are talking about the same spiked, sluggish, and extremely cute hedgehogs. It is very natural for a snake to bite this small animal. However, thinking about its prickly body surface, the snake will definitely face a rather tough time.

They will keep on trying to cut themselves through the hedgehog’s body until it becomes weak to do anything further. It is then that the hedgehog will demand an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Piercing through its vertebra, the prickly pig will kill it to its satisfaction.

Final Thoughts

Finally, we can say this without having any doubts that wolves eat snakes but not as often as they enjoy eating other animals. Remember that wolves are opportunistic and that they will pounce whenever they get a chance to eat snakes.

We also learned that snakes being small creatures, alone are not enough to give pleasure to the entire pack of wolves, be they dead or poisonous – it does not matter to them. A single wolf can devour more than 10 kilograms of meat every day.

Blessed with a brilliant smelling sense, garter snakes are also a part of a wolf’s diet. Obviously, a snake will never try to take on a wolf. Instead, they are very afraid of these blood-thirsty carnivores.

Keeping that in mind, only wolves but a wide range of other animals as well consider snakes as a good snack. Some of the animals are mentioned above in this article.

Bret Michaels confirms hospitalization due to 'unforeseen medical complication'

ANI | Updated: Jul 03, 2022 11:05 IST

Washington [US], July 3 (ANI): Poison frontman Bret Michaels has confirmed the hospitalization that led to the band pulling out of a Nashville concert on Thursday.
Taking to his Instagram profile, Michaels posted, "To the incredible fans in Nashville, thank you for all your well wishes!! I was truly fired up to get on stage in the music city and perform, but due to an unknown complication & following hospitalization, it was not possible. I send my deepest apologies for being unable to rock the stage tonight!!! I'm working on being back 100% very soon & hope you rocked hard with my friends Motley/Leppard/Joan and Classless Act!!!"

As per Variety, Poison were due to perform at Nashville's Nissan stadium on Thursday alongside Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Joan Jett at the Nashville stop of their The Stadium Tour. The tour was set to kick off in 2020, but was postponed to 2021 and again to this year, due to COVID-19. It finally began on June 16 in Atlanta and is set to conclude on September 9 in Las Vegas. It is an extensive tour across North America, featuring 36 concerts. The next concert will be at Jacksonville on July 2.

The Collective Republic of Kyrizstanislav

“Work for your family, and for everyone”

Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights:
Unheard Of
Political Freedoms:

Location: 10000 Islands

Regional Influence: Apprentice

The Collective Republic of Kyrizstanislav is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Nikita Alahomorov with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.126 billion Collective Workers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grazboroniki. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Collective economy, worth a remarkable 6,054 trillion party-approved credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 375,468 party-approved credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Grazboroniki make great practice for foreign snipers, and government employees from Kyrizstanislav dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrizstanislav's national animal is the Armored Kyrizstanislavi Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ██████████████.

Kyrizstanislav is ranked 277,543rd in the world and 1,447th in 10000 Islands for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.14 crimes per hour.

Council takes up proposed utility rate increases

May 20, 2016

Yesterday, Nick presented the proposed rate increases for Portland’s Public Utilities – the Portland Water Bureau and Bureau of Environmental Services.

For the 3rd year in a row, Nick directed our two utilities to keep the combined rate increase under 5%, and once again they delivered. This year, they have proposed a combined rate increase of just under 4.5%, or roughly $4 per month for the typical customer.

Both the Citizens’ Utility Board of Oregon (CUB) and the Portland Utility Board (PUB) testified in support of the proposed budgets, for both utilities.

We remain committed to providing good value to Portland’s ratepayers, and to investing in basic services like replacing old pipes and preparing for the Big One.

Should investors be optimistic about Tullow Oil’s prospects?

Tullow Oil has underperformed other oil stocks this year – so far. Photo: Shutterstock

When it comes to stock price drops, Tullow Oil (TLW) has been pretty rough in recent years.

Tullow Oil’s share price is down around 90% over the past 10 years and year to date, while other oil companies have prospered, Tullow has only risen 2.1 % and fell 13% last month. Why the low comparative performance? And what is he doing to turn the tide?

First, let’s look at the performance issue. The publicly traded, London-based oil company focuses on oil and gas exploration, development and production activities primarily in Africa and South America.

Falling oil prices in general (and in particular in 2015/16) as well as a costly confrontation with the Ugandan government over oilfield projects and tax disputes, have hit Tullow’s share price hard and debts have piled up – so far the recovery has nothing to do with it. write home.

Ten years ago Tullow’s share price stood at 1,271.4 pence; but just before Covid took over the world in mid March 2020 the price had fallen to 9p. It has since recovered moderately with some dips along the way to a current level around 48p.

Positives for the Tullow Oil share price

With no signs of an end to tensions in Ukraine and oil supplies looking scarce for quite a while yet, does Tullow Oil seem like a reasonable bet for investors?

There are a few potential positives. City watchers will be delighted to see how Tullow Oil’s recent merger with Capricorn Energy (formerly Cairn Energy) (CNE.L) unfolds and if successful in reducing costs and improving cash flow to enable investments in higher production

JP Morgan analysts certainly see reason for optimism – they recently set a price target of 82p.

And Tullow Oil receives a moderate buy consensus rating from Marketbeat. The company’s average rating is based on four buy ratings, four hold ratings, and no sell ratings.

Simply Wall St rates Tullow as good value based on its price to sales ratio (0.7x) compared to the peer average (3.5x). He considers Tullow’s fair value price to be 158p – essentially 69.2% undervalued.

How do you feel about TLW?

Vote to see the sentiment of traders!

Balancing risk and reward

However, due to its level of debt, Simply Wall St rates Tullow Oil 2/6 on financial health.

There are obviously risks with an investment in Tullow, not just its existing debt levels, but the possible collapse of oil prices at some point – given that the current supply pressures are geopolitically driven. .

Tullow Oil may not even survive if oil prices fall to levels seen in the recent past.

But with oil prices only going one way at the moment, investors can factor in broker ratings and buy, even if it’s just a short-term position.

Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada — Empowering Inuit Women for 35 Years

    Pauktuutit has always supported and promoted a traditional Inuit lifestyle and practices, like this woman scraping seal skin with an ulu. © Lee Narraway

    At its ﬁrst Annual General Meeting (AGM) in January 1985, Pauktuutit Inuit Women’s Association passed 20 signiﬁcant resolutions. They included advocating for: Inuktitut translation services at hospitals, the Inuit position on sealing, and an inquiry into the death of a nursing student from Nain.

    These were no ordinary issues, and this was no ordinary women’s organization.

    Thirty-five years later, Pauktuutit is still addressing critical issues for Inuit women in Northern communities. Its website highlights its mandate to “foster greater awareness of the needs of Inuit women, advocate for equality and social improvements, and encourage Inuit women’s full participation in the community, regional and national life of Canada.”

    The idea of an Inuit women’s organization originated at a meeting in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, in 1975.

    “At the time, Inuit were focussed on land claim issues, but they also realized there were big health and social issues that needed to be addressed,” says Executive Director Tracy O’Hearn. “They tended to be priorities addressed by women in their families and communities. So Pauktuutit was created at the request of and with the support of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK).

    Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada was incorporated as a not-for-profit on April 1, 1984. A 14-member board was elected with women representing communities across the Arctic. Head office was established in Ottawa where Inuit issues could be more easily promoted to the federal government. Nearly 150 women attended the first AGM held in Igloolik — at least two delegates from each of the 53 communities in Labrador (Nunatsiavut), Northern Quebec (Nunavik), Baffin, Central Arctic (Kitikmeot), Keewatin (Kivalliq), and Western Arctic (Inuvialuit) regions.

    Discussions focussed on economic development, such as how to start a small business and createongoing employment in isolated communities. They also covered the wider social and health issuescommon in all the communities, such as alcohol abuse, family violence, and the need for midwives.Living in remote, fly-in-only Northern communities poses many logistical challenges for women. “Thelack of access to healthcare is a huge issue,” says O’Hearn. “People have to be flown down south to have access to doctors — to have babies.”

    In some cases, expectant mothers from Labrador had unknowingly signed forms that were not medical forms but agreements to give their baby up for adoption. Other women had been sterilized without properly being informed of the procedure.

    “One of the challenges has been working with Inuit women who are very trusting, and also a lot of them still don’t know their human rights,” says Rebecca Kudloo, Pauktuutit’s President since 2014. “I think the more we do to raise aware- ness, the more they’ll learn their rights.”

    These were big issues. Pauktuutit tackled them head on.

    The delegates would bring their communities’ concerns to the AGMs. Often they revealed their own personal struggles. Many women experienced the damage caused by residential schools, which had seeped into many aspects of their lives. The AGMs became forums where they openly discussed issues they couldn’t with their own families.

    “It was a safe place for them, where they finally had an opportunity to talk,” says former president Martha Flaherty. “It was a chance for them to speak up. Even if they were not ready to talk, they’d just cry. We’d have group meetings, like on sexual abuse. After a lot of hard crying, sometimes they’d come out laughing, and feeling better.”

    Flaherty explained that Pauktuutit ensured people were at the meetings who could offer counselling to the women. It brought up a need for better counselling in the communities.

    So, Pauktuutit published a resource booklet to help Inuit discuss serious issues with each other.

    Pauktuutit does not operate programs and services. It focusses instead on promotion, prevention, awareness, and advocacy. It achieves this by publishing resource toolkit materials, organizing seminars and conferences, and creating videos broadcast in the North that raise awareness of relevant and critical issues.

    The organization has openly focussed on major social problems, such as family violence, child abuse, spousal assault, sexual health, HIV/AIDS, midwifery, healthy pregnancies, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, as well as other health issues of drug and alcohol addictions, smoking cessation, diabetes, cancer, and suicide prevention.

    “Historically, we tread where others haven’t in promoting prevention, awareness of issues,” says Kudloo.

    Pauktuutit frames its work around Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit or IQ principles: Respecting others, relationships and caring for people; fostering good spirit by being open, welcoming and inclusive; serving and providing for family, or community, or both; and decision-making through discussion and consensus.

    Introducing southerners to these principles was the idea behind The Inuit Way, the booklet Pauktuutit published (in 1989 and then 2006) as a guide to Inuit culture for people coming to and working in northern communities, such as teachers, social workers, and nurses.

    Pauktuutit plays an advocacy role, participating in policy and planning discussions with all levels of governments. Pauktuutit has a seat on the ITK board, but doesn’t have voting status, which is reserved for the land claim presidents.

    “We want to be a part of any legislation that affects us,” Kudloo says. “My goal is to sit there as an equal partner with all the other leaders.” Pauktuutit does not have a vote, only those involved in land claims do. However, she adds, “If I want something passed, I’ll voice it and it gets heard.”

    One of the big milestones was the June 2017 signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by Kudloo and Carolyn Bennett, Minister for Crown- Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs. The MOU established a relationship to jointly address priority areas for Inuit women and children, and includes Pauktuutit in drafting relevant legislation.

    Pauktuutit has been the voice of Inuit women on the federal inquiries of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal People, and Missing Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

    This January, it brought women from Inuit Nunangat’s four Arctic regions together to discuss co-developing the National Action Plan with the federalgovernment in its efforts to address violence against Indigenous women and girls.

    “At this event, the highlight for me was witnessing a panel of Inuit women strongly speaking up,” says Yvonne Niego, Deputy Minister of Family Services with the Government of Nunavut, who attended the conference. “Just the courage of conviction, the strength, the honesty, straightforwardness of these women — it was just such a highlight to witness.”

    Through its work, Pauktuutit has advanced the cause of Inuit women, highlighting the importance of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles.

    Education of children and youth, particularly instruction in Inuktitut that highlights Inuit traditions and values, is also a key priority for Pauktuutit.

    Encouraging women in business has been important from the beginning. Pauktuutit’s Inuit Women’s Business Network has grown from six to 140 women in communities across the North. Pauktuutit drew nation-wide attention to Inuit women’s traditional skills and talent with its fashion shows. The first, held in Iqaluit at Pauktuutit’s 1994 AGM, drew a crowd of 1,000 to watch Inuit women walk down the runway in their innovative clothing designs rooted in tradition.

    Niego said Pauktuutit has inspired Inuit women “to examine themselves, figure out their role in today’s society and the environment, and find their place.”

    Over the last three decades, Pauktuutit has raised awareness of critical Northern issues, and empowered Inuit women. “Looking back at all that’s been accomplished The issues are tough, but I think that what helps is the opportunity to try to bring about change,” says Kudloo.

2019 Arctic Sea Ice Maximum Continues Trend of Decline

According to scientists at the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center and NASA “ Sea ice in the Arctic appears to have hit its annual maximum extent after growing through the fall and winter. The 2019 wintertime extent reached on March 13 ties with 2007’s as the 7th smallest extent of winter sea ice in the satellite record.“

As reported on the website of NASA “This year’s maximum extent peaked at 5.71 million square miles (14.78 million square kilometers) and is 332,000 square miles (860,000 square kilometers) below the 1981 to 2010 average maximum – equivalent to missing an area of ice larger than the state of Texas.

The Arctic sea ice cover, an expanse of frozen seawater floating on top of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas, thickens and expands during the fall and winter months. The sea ice hits its maximum yearly extent sometime between late February and early April. It thins and shrinks during the spring and summer until it reaches its annual minimum extent in September.

Beyond its seasonal wax and wane cycles, Arctic sea ice extent has been plummeting during both the growing and melting seasons over the last 40 years. The 2019 maximum extent breaks a string of record or near-record lows that started in 2015 — but that does not necessarily mean that Arctic sea ice is recovering.

“While this year wasn’t a record low, the maximum extent still points to there being a sustained decline in winter sea ice,” said Melinda Webster, a sea ice scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “The temperatures in the Arctic were a bit higher than average and we saw a lot of ice loss in the Bering Sea, but nothing this winter was as extreme or dramatic compared to recent years and the record lows.”

Rising temperatures in the Arctic over the past decades have also thinned the sea ice pack. Multiyear ice, the older and thicker ice that acted like a bastion against melting for the rest of the sea ice cover, has mostly disappeared. A 2018 study led by Ron Kwok, a sea ice researcher with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, found that 70 percent of the ice pack now consists of seasonal ice — sea ice that grows rapidly in the winter only to melt during the next summer.

“The large changes in ice coverage associated with the loss of the multiyear ice pack have already occurred,” Kwok said. “The seasonal ice now represents a larger fraction of the Arctic sea ice cover. Because this young ice is thinner and grows faster in the winter, it is more responsive to weather and makes the sea ice cover respond differently than before. It’s not that we won’t see new wintertime or summertime record lows in the next years – it’s just that the variability is going to be higher.”“

Cartoonish Anti-Americanism Tarnishes This Excellent Series
Verified purchase
Speaking as an Anglophile . . . my annual trips to England are the highlight of my year. And this series is excellent. And yet.

In such an outstanding, well-written and thoughtful series, why do we have to put up with a cartoonish Ugly American again and again? With so many characters so well-drawn and nuanced, why must we have every cliche of Americans that the Brits, who as we know have never acted as if they are God's Gift, packed into a handful of bad guy Americans across the years of this series? Several websites have noted how badly Americans come off in this series.

The Brits never treated the peoples they subjected badly -- only Americans do this, right? Oh dear - during the same period that on-his-high-horse-Foyle is criticizing segregated American army bases, my Indian father-in-law was a boy forbidden to set foot in large parts of his own land, called the "n" word, and living with prohibitions spelled out in signs like "no dogs or Indians allowed." Foyle's War skims over some of the negatives of British imperialism and profit motives, both in their territories and in this very war, but misdirects the viewer by wallowing in American wrong-doing by creating easy-to-hate caricatures of Americans. It's too pervasive to be an accident; and it spoils the series.

Excellent but More Plot Driven in its Final Season
Verified purchase
I'd originally thought this series should have ended with VE Day and the closing of the Hastings police season used during the war. Yet subsequent seasons stood on their own. Difference is that the WWII seasons of Foyle's War were told though the viewpoint of Christopher Foyle alone. He flawlessly and invariably represents ethical and moral ideals in the face of all manner of plausible challenges that war represents. Moral absolutes exist for Foyle. And we, the viewers, in siding with him like to believe they exist for us as well. This is the feel good aspect of the series - a sort of wish fulfillment that has always drawn people to tales of heroes.

Yet what makes this series remarkable is its frankness. There are no winners of WWII, only losers including all of western Europe. This is the point of the post war seasons. Broken, exhausted and bankrupt, Europe vanishes from the world stage as its citizens wonder what it was all for. In these far more reflective final seasons, the character of Foyle himself recedes, replaced by far more plot driven writing exploring many viewpoints. It concludes superbly with perhaps the most unlikely of characters asserting, in a very moving way, that moral absolutes must indeed exist nonetheless.

There are a dozen ways they could continue this show in spinoffs. I'd watch another nine seasons of SOE recruits doing odd jobs for MI-5 or whatever secret departments they had back then. All the awkward attempts to break into places, the old Sten Guns and Webley revolvers flashing. The stumbling around trying to pick locks and listening in on phone calls, the paper trails and research all on film, and micro film eventually.
I'd watch the whole thing along with back stories on how Foyle and Sam and everyone gets along after the war. I love the whole show and wish there was more. Wish they'd HAVE to check with me before cancelling.

Polemics Across the Pond
Verified purchase
Two phrases spoken in "Trespass," the second episode of Season 9, have been conspicuously adopted by American Presidential polemicists. "Trespass" begins with a reprise of a 1946 British newsreel about the bombing of the King David Hotel that describes the attack as "senseless violence," a signature phrase of the Obama Administration applied to recent acts of terror. Later in "Trespass," the British nationalist Charles Lucas proclaims his intention to "make Britain great again," a signature phrase of the Trump campaign applied to American socio-economic and military setbacks. It would seem British media professionals past and present are writing contemporary American political scripts for liberals and conservatives alike. Or is it that American politicians are revising British diplomatic agendas? Dissolution of the "special relationship" between Britain and America that produces increasing tension between British and American interests is a prominent subtext of Season 9. I fault the post World War II episodes of FOYLE'S WAR only inasmuch as they consistently portray Americans as loud-mouthed and witless. Surely Americans as much as any nationals are individuals, some of whom are clever and have soft voices.

As good, if not better, than seasons 1-8
Verified purchase
If you liked the first 8 seasons of "Foyle's War", I think you'll love season 9. It's really amazing how the show brings out topics I've never really thought of with regard to war and post-war conditions. It was eye opening to hear a character say, "Sometimes I wonder if we won the war," because conditions in England were so bad even after the war ended.

I believe these are the last 3 episodes they plan to make, but they didn't finish it as though they couldn't make anymore. If you've never seen Foyle's War, it's really worth watching in my opinion. It's not action packed like many American shows; but if you like suspense, drama, intrigue, plot twists, and a touch of British humor combined with WWII, espionage, and treason in England, this show is for you.

Foyle's War could quite possibly the best television series EVER
Verified purchase
Foyle's War could quite possibly the best television series EVER! Although it has been going for the past 13 years in a limited number of episodes each year, my wife and I have totally connected with the characters.
The period details are fantastic and although some say there is some evidence of a slip up or two, not to my eye.
The dialogue is sometimes sparse, but completely believable and although the time frame is WWII the early Cold War period the storylines have a very contemporary feel. We're saddened to see the series end and hope for a made for television movie or better still a full feature length film at some future date. Michael Kitchen is marvelous as is Honeysuckle Weeks. We have watched each episode twice and will go back from time to time to get our "Foyle's fix.

The Alternate or Rake Debate!

Alternate Plucking

To Alternate or to Rake?

With your plucking hand, do you alternate, rake, or just wing it?

I am pretty well known for my stance on that – alternate in most situations. In this video, I explain why.

And I give you a dreaded drill into which I packed just about everything and the kitchen sink! Can you alternate your index and middle fingers throughout this demanding right-hand plucking exercise?

This video provides the ultimate challenge for your plucking hand. It incorporates pedaling, permutations, and string jumps. At times you will go with the grain of the hand just to go against it for the next few beats. If you do it correctly you will start with the opposite finger on repetition so you cover all options with both fingers.

Can you alternate throughout?

I call this exercise “The Alternator” for a reason!

Print off the free exercise transcription to follow along with the video – and to practice these challenging exercises. It’s the ‘right’ thing to do – and that is true for left- and right-handed pluckers!

Transport engineering, Transport planning and social aspects of transport

Publication Details

Association for European Transport. 2021 European Transport Conference.

In recent years it has been reported that in an international comparison of children’s independent mobility that Ireland has one of the lowest rates of both children’s independent mobility and active travel among several countries (Shaw et al., 2015). Children’s independent mobility and active travel are shown to be affected by several factors including parental time pressures and lifestyle choices; societal fears (‘stranger danger’); and the fear of traffic and road safety (Shaw et al., 2015, Hillman et al., 1990; Lynch, 1977; Johansson, 2006; Shaw et al., 2013; and Zwerts et al., 2010). This research focuses on the latter – traffic and road safety – one of the key spheres of direct influence of the transport planning and engineering professional in Ireland. This research seeks to investigate the extent to which children are engaged with and considered in transport planning and engineering related decision making in Ireland. This research also sought to examine the awareness within the profession of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Article 12 which endeavours to ensure that children have the right to express their views freely in all matters affecting them (United Nations, 1989).

Key findings from interviews with transport professionals indicate that children are seldom considered in transport planning in Ireland, and it is not common to engage with children within transport planning. This may be a contributing factor to Ireland’s low levels of children’s active travel and independent mobility. The policy review also indicated that children’s needs are not adequately recognised within transport related policy in Ireland. There are several national policies which call for the inclusion of children within planning, but these national policies have often not translated well into the local policy context. This study contributes to a significantly under-researched area within Ireland currently and establishes the state of play regarding the engagement of children and their travel needs within the transport planning and engineering profession. The findings are relevant to academia, policy development and practice.

Sybil MacBeth: I Get Still By Moving

Sybil MacBeth is a dancer, a doodler, and a former community college mathematics professor. When she moved to Memphis in 2004, author Phyllis Tickle nudged Sybil to write about her prayer frustrations and the visual and active prayer practice she developed as the result of them. She now combines her experience in the mathematics classroom with her lifelong love of prayer to offer workshops that engage differing learning styles. As the author of Praying in Color Drawing a New Path to God, she has lead over 100 workshops and retreats.

“I use this prayer involving art as a form of meditation to get still. I write the word ‘God’ or ‘Holy Spirit’ on a piece of paper. I start drawing and it invites my body into the prayer. I like to move and I’ve discovered that I get still by moving … even if it’s just moving my hand along the paper. It helps me get still on the inside because the body is no longer a distraction.” ~Sybil MacBeth

Listen to Sybil’s Art as Worship interview on Empower Radio.

Sybil is also the author of Praying in Color Kids’ Edition. Her latest book is a Praying in Black and White: A Hands-On Practice for Men, a collaborative effort with her Episcopal priest husband, Andy MacBeth. Praying in Color has been translated into Korean, Spanish, and Italian.

She encourages others to embrace their creativity by saying, “Sometimes your boundaries are your freedom. Use the boundary as a starting off point. Choose to only draw circles. Or restrict your doodle to circles and lines and see what happens. That way you don’t have this whole big paper staring at you — those restrictions can allow you to be free.”

Sybil uses the arts as a pathway for building community and deepening her relationship with God. She is a life-long dancer. Sybil studied ballet and modern dance and performed with various regional dance groups. She currently dances with an improv dance group.

She commented, “Sometimes you become an expert by being a chronic novice — always willing to learn and willing to continue to grow.”

Sybil’s experience includes:

  • Artist-in-Residence Memphis Theological Seminary 2010-2011.
  • Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach from 1991 to 2004.
  • Graduated from Randolph-Macon College with a B.S. in Mathematics and College of William and Mary with an. M.S. in Mathematics.

She lives in Memphis, TN with her husband, Andy, an Episcopal priest.  Sybil is the mother of two adult sons.

raised garden beds Are More Than Just Your Concrete Patio

When deciding to build a raised bed garden, there are many materials you have to consider. This is because different types of soils and ground require different items for drainage,  raised garden beds water management, and fertility. In this article, learn about the pros and cons of choosing each type of soil substrate and how to build a raised bed that best suits your garden needs.

What have raised beds?

Raised Garden Bed is a great way to add gardens to your concrete patio. By using simple brackets and soil blocks, you can create.

Types of Raised Beds

There are many different types of raised beds, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are the most common types:

– Plastic: These beds are made of durable, lightweight plastic and can be assembled in minutes. They’re low-cost but lack some of the features of other types of beds, such as vertical drainage.

– Wood: Raised beds made out of wood are sturdy and long-lasting, but they can be a bit more expensive than plastic ones. They also require extra care – make sure to water them regularly, trim the branches off the tree next to the bed so they don’t damage it, and store the lumber off the ground to avoid pests.

– Metal: These beds are heavy-duty and good for those who want a more permanent solution. They come with built-in support posts that can hold up to 50 pounds each, making them perfect for garden beds or large vegetable plots. However, metal beds can be more expensive than other options and require some assembly time.

– Aquaponics: This type of raised bed is unique because it combines both water gardening and fish farming in one simple system. A scale balances nutrient levels in the liquid part of the Aquaponics

Why You Became a Raised Bed Guru

Raised beds have become a popular way to add garden edible vegetables and flowers (and even trees) to small spaces. Why? Here are four reasons why you might want to start raising your own food this way:

  1. They’re Practical – Raised beds conserve soil and water, so you can grow more food with the same amount of space. And because they trap rainwater, raised beds help keep your garden hydrated all season long.
  1. They’re Eco-Friendly – Raised beds use less earth than traditional gardens, making them an environmentally friendly option.
  1. They’re Economical – With fewer plants occupying space, raised beds can be cheaper to maintain than a traditional garden. And since you can easily replace lost crops or flowers, raised bed gardening is a long-term investment that pays off dividends in flavour and nutrition.
  1. They’re Fun – Growing your own food is a satisfying hobby that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Raising bed gardens is easy to construct–even kids can help! How to Buy Homes For Back Taxes – And Profit Immediately

Some people raise beds as a hobby, while others use them for gardening or backyard cultivation.  One job that can be related to raised beds is landscaping. Landscapers use raised beds to create unique and beautiful landscapes. They may use raised beds to plant flowers and plants, or to create walking paths and other features.

Contents of the raised bed

If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to add some colour and life to your concrete patio, a raised bed might be the perfect solution. A raised bed not only looks great but is also a great way to improve soil quality and increase water retention. Here are some of the benefits of raising plants in a bed:

– Increased soil fertility: Raising your plants up off the ground helps to improve the fertility of the soil below them. Not only does this help to support plant growth, but it can also reduce the need for fertilizer and pesticides.

– Improved water retention: Having your plants elevated means they retain more water than if they were standing on the ground. This results in lush, healthy plants that are less likely to suffer from drought conditions or damage from prolonged rain.

– Better air circulation: Since plants are higher up off the ground, they are better able to draw in the fresh air and release carbon dioxide. This helps to keep your plants healthy and reduces the odds of respiratory issues.

Similar products for a lower cost

Beds are one of the most common pieces of patio furniture. If you’re looking for a lower-cost alternative to a raised bed, check out these other options: Bunk beds, hammocks, and picnic benches.

If you’re on a tight budget, consider buying a used bunk bed or picnic bench. Bunk beds can be found for around $100, while picnic benches range from $30 to $70. You can also find hammocks for around $60.

If you have more money to spend, consider investing in a raised bed. Raised beds range in price from $150 to $1,000. Make sure to choose a raised bed that is comfortable and fits in with your personality and patio style.

Sources for materials and construction

The best-raised beds for a patio are made of concrete, but you can also find pottery, wood, and metal options. Here are some sources for materials and construction:

-Concrete Check with your local home improvement store or the Internet for a concrete supplier in your area. You will need a mix of Portland cement, sand, and gravel to make the concrete. The proportions will depend on the size of your bed.

Potters offer a variety of shapes and sizes that work well as raised beds. Just be sure to wash and dry the pots thoroughly before using them as a garden bed.

You can build raised beds using lumber from your local scrapyard or lumberyard. Just be sure to mark the dimensions of your bed before starting construction so that you don’t end up with a lopsided structure. And make sure to use potting soil that is specifically designed for wooden raised beds; regular potting soil may rot the wood over time.
