Caribbean Spiny Lobster

Caribbean spiny lobsters are found in tropical and sub-tropical waters. They are also known as Florida spiny lobsters. Adults live in cracks and crevices of coral reefs, sponge flats and other hard-bottom areas. Spiny lobsters unlike other forms of lobsters caught along the Atlantic Coast they lack large claws. The adult lobster’s exoskeleton varies in color from light red and deep brown.

Atlantic Coast spiny lobsters
Spiny lobsters live along the Atlantic Coast all the way from North Carolina south to Brazil. They are found in sub-tropical and tropical waters especially off the coast of Florida and the Caribbean Sea. They are warm water lobsters since they live in the sub-tropical to tropical regions. Other lobsters living north or south of sub-tropical areas are cold water lobsters.

Where they live and what they eat
Caribbean spiny lobsters spend their days in crevices and caverns of coral reefs hiding from predators except for males when they are looking for a mate during mating season. As the sun goes down lobsters come out of their homes to look for food. They spend their nights feeding on small snails, clams, chitons and crabs. They also eat dead and decaying organisms.

Predators of spiny lobsters
Caribbean Spiny Lobsters are a favorite food of sharks, rays, groupers, triggerfish, moray eels, sea turtles and octopus. They are also a favorite food of humans. In the Caribbean and other places around the world they are a major source of income for commercial fishermen. If you have ever eaten lobster tails you were probably eating the tail of a spiny lobster.

How they were named
Spiny lobsters get their name for the small spikes covers their carapace (exoskeleton). Males and females are the same size but the male’s exoskeleton is longer. Adult Caribbean Spiny Lobsters have two long antennae that are longer than their carapace. Small antennae that are shorter and about two-thirds of their body length. Two large eyes are at the front of their heads, pleopods which are forked legs that aid them when swimming. Spiny lobsters have small claws unlike Maine lobsters which have large claws.

Reproduction of spiny lobsters
Spiny lobsters mate from March through June or June through November depending on where they live. The male Caribbean Spiny Lobster comes out during the day and seek out a female that he coaxes out of her home. They mate belly to belly with the male depositing a sac (spermatophore) on the underside of her tail or belly.

The female carries the sac around until her eggs are ready to be fertilized. She breaks open the sac to fertilize her eggs. Depending on the size of a female lobster she may produce 230,000 to 2.6 million eggs. She carries all of her eggs beneath her tail for about a month until they are ready to hatch into larvae.

Spiny lobster larvae
Larvae can be carried thousands of miles before they settle into seagrass or algae beds to grow. Baby lobsters live a solitary existence until they begin to congregate and migrate to offshore reefs where they mature. Lobsters continue to grow their entire life and molt when they outgrow their exoskeleton. During molting the lobsters are vulnerable to a number of predators. It usually takes several days for them to regrow an exoskeleton.

Migrating spiny lobsters
Spiny lobsters are capable of true migration using the Earth’s magnetic field. They usually begin to migrate after the first major storm in the fall to offshore areas. They form a long single line of up to 50 individuals that march away from shallow waters. They migrate to areas where the water temperature are more stable.

Viperfish are one of the fiercest predators living in the deep ocean. Find out how they attract their prey with a “fishing lure” and impale their prey with fang-like teeth.

Oceanic Zones are specific areas of the ocean. Most ocean life lives in one specific zone. Marine biologists have discovered some animals, whales, can dive to great depths to hunt for food.

The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami lifted the seabed and moved it sideways along a 1,600 km (1000 mile) crack in the Earth’s surface. The Indian Plate slipped beneath the Burma Plate during the earthquake.

Rift Valleys are not caused by erosion but are created by tectonic activity. These valleys form when oceanic plates are moving in different directions forming a divergent boundary.

Marine Sponges are sessile animals that look like plants. Some sponges have been found living on the ocean floors that are over 8,800 meters (5.5 miles) deep.

Caribbean Spiny Lobsters are found in tropical and sub-tropical waters. They are also known as Florida spiny lobsters and are famous for their migration each year into deeper waters.

Rogue Waves for centuries were believed to be tall tales sailors told during shore leave. They said waves rose out of the sea as a vertical wall of water that crashed into a ship without warning.

Ghost Crabs live on beaches in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They are found along beaches from Rhode Island south to Brazil. They only need to wet their gills to live on land.

Black Smokers (hydrothermal vents) were discovered by scientists aboard the Alvin in 1977. An entire ecosystem lives around the chimneys with bacteria the base of the food chain.

King County logo

In November 2015, the King County Council unanimously approved the Strategic Climate Action Plan (SCAP), King County’s road map to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the impacts of a changing climate, both from King County’s operations and communitywide sources.

The SCAP outlines an ambitious agenda of actions that King County government and partners will take that will get us on track to achieve an 80 percent reduction in countywide greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which is a goal adopted by the King County Growth Management Planning Council.

Planting Trees

  • Carbon sequestration
  • Resilient forests
  • Clean air and water
  • Public health
  • Livable communities

What Is It?

There are already many tree planting efforts with considerable momentum that exist in the county; by bringing together public, civic and private sector partners in a region-wide effort, we have the opportunity to amplify efforts and leverage resources to benefit everyone’s work, achieving the overarching one million trees target and laying the groundwork for long-term collaboration on caring for trees, tree canopy, and forestlands in King County.

Benefits of trees

  • Trees provide important wildlife habitat for nesting, wintering, and migratory birds as well as other animal species.
  • Communities and business districts with healthy tree cover attract new residents, industry, and commercial activity, and those property values are higher than similar locations without trees.
  • Trees help prevent soil erosion.
  • Trees give us oxygen – clean air to breathe, and they intercept pollutants from the air.
  • Trees filter and store water, which helps in stormwater management.
  • Trees create shade in urban areas to the benefit of people, and forests along streams help reduce water temperatures, which the salmon appreciate.
  • Last but not least, trees sequester carbon and reduce the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Carbon sequestration

Carbon sequestration is the process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it. One method of carbon sequestration occurs in nature through photosynthesis: the bio-chemical respiration of plants that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugar, cellulose and carbohydrates.

McGraw-Hill: Textbook Diversity

Publishing is just the start; finance is the key.

Although most people know McGraw-Hill as the publisher of textbooks and BusinessWeek magazine, the company is far more diverse. It owns Standard & Poor's, which rates companies and government entities, compiles stock research, and assembles famous indices. McGraw also has its hands in trade journals, television stations, financial information software, and a consumer-ratings agency.

The company's shares, which had been on a steady climb since August 2006, hovered near $70 on February 8. But the stock (symbol MHP) has since fallen 12%, and closed at $61.86 on March 13, down $2.18 on a day when its most famous index, the S&P 500, tumbled 2%. The stock fell despite an upgrade, to buy from hold, by A.G. Edwards analyst Michael Kupinski, who calls the recent pullback a textbook buying opportunity. Kupinski expects McGraw’s shares to fetch $76 over the next 12 to 18 months.

The stock trades at 21 times the $2.89 per share that analysts, on average, expect McGraw-Hill to earn in 2007. It sells for 19 times Kupinski's 2008 earnings estimate of $3.32 per share. That price-earnings ratio, notes Kupinski, is at the low end of McGraw's ten-year historical P/E range of 17 to 31.

The biggest driver of McGraw's growth is its financial segment, which includes S&P. The bond ratings unit is benefiting from rapid expansion overseas, as S&P now rates more debt in Europe than in the U.S., Kupinski wrote in a note to clients. S&P is also licensing data from its well-known indices to exchange-traded funds, the ranks of which are growing at a dizzy pace.

The company's education business consists of two segments: one that serves elementary and high school students, and another that sells to the college, professional, international and adult-education markets. The K-12 segment lagged in 2006, as large states ordered fewer textbooks or bought them late in the year. But the company expects state adoptions to grow steadily over the next three years. Kupinski sees solid growth in the university, professional and international education unit through 2010, thanks to a higher number of students entering graduate school and the growth of online courses.

Of all McGraw's businesses, its information and media services unit is the clear laggard. Like many media publishers, the company is contending with a decline in advertising. Although it sees solid growth in J.D. Power, its consumer-ratings firm, and Platts, which provides energy-information and marketing services, McGraw expects 2007 print advertising to be sluggish.

But Kupinski notes that S&P's international expansion, growth in its debt-ratings services, and lineup of new products and services "should more than offset" problems in its other businesses. Another indicator of McGraw’s strength, Kupinski writes, is its recent dividend increase of 13%, to an annual rate of $0.82 per share. The company also authorized a share repurchase for up to 45 million shares.

In 2006, McGraw earned $2.40 per share, a 9% increase over 2005. Meanwhile, revenues grew 4%, to $6.3 billion. Kupinski expects earnings to grow 15% in 2007 and 13% in 2008. (The company has said it expects double-digit earnings growth in 2007.)

Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Lemon Curd and fennel

posted on: Friday, April 2, 2010

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large fennel plant
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  1. preheat oven to 350*
  2. Grease and flour a bundt pan
  3. place the fennel leaves in a medium pot with milk. Bring the milk to boil and let infuse for 5 minutes. Then drain the milk to remove the fennel leaves.
  4. Place the milk with cold butter, sour cream, and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix on low for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs and mix until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
  7. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
  8. Slowly pour half of the batter inside the bundt pan.
  9. Layer the lemon curd over the batter and pour the remaining batter over the lemon curd.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes.
  11. Cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before removing it from the pan
 I've been loving the Trader Joe's lemon curd. I eat it by the spoonful, it's that good. I tend to like anything lemony and tart. I'm also a huge fan of sour cream coffee cakes, they're so moist and fluffy it feels like you're biting into clouds, clouds of sweet lemon...delish. As for the fennel I picked some up at the farmer's market this week and wasn't really sure what to make of it besides my usual tea. I'm happy with the result but if you're not a big fan of fennel just omit it and use heavy cream instead of milk for the batter.

oh, and have yourself a lovely Easter.

The Classic Pavlova with Strawberries and Kiwifruit

Grandma Taylor's Pavlova Recipe

Recipe submitted by t-rex on January 15th, 2007

Grandma Taylor made this pavlova every Christmas for our family Christmas lunch. The recipe works and the pavlova is a lot better than the store-bought variety.

Prep time:   40 minutes
Cook time:   1 hour
Servings:   1 pavlova

3 Egg Whites
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Beat egg whites until stiff (forms peaks). Add sugar - heaped tablespoon at a time - beating well after each addition. Then beat for at least 10 minutes. This is very important. Then sprinkle vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence into mixture. Beat until blended.

Coat baking paper with water drops to allow baking paper to stick to sides of tin and pile pavlova mixture in 20cm circle.
Heat oven until 300°F (or 150°C). Put pav in oven and immediately turn oven down to 250°F (or 125°C) and leave for 1 hour. Then turn oven off and leave in oven until cold. (Usually overnight). This makes a nice crust on outside of pav.

Before serving, cover pav in whipped cream and decorate with your favourite fruit.

      Hello again. I have now made this recipe 6 times. And the 6th time, to the letter. Review: if you like alot of crunch, follow it to the letter, leaving till the morning. If you like a thin crust and heaps of marshmallow, cook an hour, turn off the oven, leave half an hour, remove from the oven and wait an hour and its ready, and scrumptious.

Im looking forward to making my Pavalova - you may hear back from me soon. Not eating it once its cooked & ready & waiting while it crisps overnight will be difficult to do - but I'll wait.

      As a young mum in the 70s this was MY recipe exactly. It was always successful, and the cream hid any less than perfect creations. Now I'm the "Grandma" and I don't make pavlova very often as there are so many more recipes for different desserts that I enjoy trying for special occasions. Today I am making a "comfort menu" of roast lamb and pavlova, so visited the internet to grab a modern recipe, and I was delighted to see this still in circulation, and widely applauded. Out of interest, back in my day we wiped the top surface of the greaseproof paper with water to stop the pavlova sticking to the paper - but in those days there was no non-stick baking paper. It worked well and I was intrigued to read your variation on the method as it shows how things get modified by different users. Thank you for the nostalgia.

I thought i try and be trickey and make cases out of cooking paper and do mini pavs and they look awsome. The family love them as they all like different toppings with their pav, but were amazed with the cruchieness that you cant get from a bought pav. And yet so easy to make

Google fast catching up to S. Korean rivals in ad sales

By 신용배
  • Published : Feb 20, 2014 - 09:53
  • Updated : Feb 20, 2014 - 10:55

U.S. Internet giant Google Inc., which has been relatively slow in expanding market presence in South Korea, was fast catching up to local rivals in advertisement sales last year, industry sources said Thursday.

According to the sources who have access to internal data, Google raked in some 100 billion won ($93.8 million) in revenue from its online display adverts in South Korea last year, a significant improvement from the 40 billion won posted a year earlier.

Google's robust performance raised  alarm in the South Korean portal market which local players have long dominated.

Market watchers said Google, which only takes up around 10 percent of the local portal market, may eventually emerge as a threat to home players.

Display advert revenue for Naver Corp., the top industry player with a 70 percent share of the market, edged down 7 percent over the cited period to 323.5 billion won.

Daum Communications Corp., the operator of South Korea's second most-visited portal, also remained sluggish in the sector by only edging up 0.4 percent on-year to 230.5 billion won.

The size of South Korea's online display advertisement market grew 7 percent over the cited period to reach $644 billion last year.

"Google's improved performance came as Psy's 'Gangnam Style'

received huge attention on YouTube," a market watcher said. Google currently handles advertisements on the video-sharing website. The South Korean rapper's 2012 global hit song has garnered some 1.9 billion views as of Thursday.

The combined size of South Korea's online advert market came to

2.4 trillion won in 2013, up 16 percent from the previous year, with search ads accounting for 54 percent, trailed by display ads with 26 percent and mobile ads with 19 percent, according to the Korea Onlinead Association. (Yonhap)

In Reply to: A new form of freedom in Missouri posted by Rickstir on September 12, 2003 at 19:10:13:

Rickster, Welcome to the free world. Pa. has had a concealed carry law forever. I know that there are thousands of stories good and bad on the issue, but 3 come to mind in our local area.
A carrying local, used his hand gun to dispatch a pack of wild dogs attacking an elderly woman.
Another is the local that stopped a yearling bear that was batting a 2 year old child around. and the third was a man that stopped a rape by showing the attacker his hand gun,, no shots fired.
Of all the folks I know licensed to carry, none have ever used it in anger, nor do I personally know of any legally licensed resident, that has been arrested of a weapons violation. Not that they aren't out there, just not in my circles.
Good luck.

Billy McLaughlin is an accomplished guitarist with a devoted following. His 20-year career has produced dozens of albums and numerous awards. But, his personal story is equally remarkable. Billy is a dynamic performer and a charming storyteller.

Event: Billy McLaughlin In Concert At KPBS

  • KPBS, 5200 Campanile Dr., San Diego
  • Saturday, January 14, 2012
  • 7 p.m.
  • Age Requirement: All ages
  • Cost: $120 - $365

Full Event Information

After performing thousands of concerts across the country, he was diagnosed with focal dystonia in his left hand. It is a neurological disorder that makes the muscles contract uncontrollably. And for most musicians, it is a career-ending diagnosis.

But, Billy made the bold decision to have his guitars flipped over to the other side and he learned to play all over again - using his other hand.

“Billy McLaughlin: Flip Side” is a combination of concert footage of McLaughlin performing and the story of how he overcame focal dystonia to learn to play the guitar again.

Hoarding and Clutter Help TXDo you have a family member that struggles with collecting too many items? Have they collected so many items that their house has been taken over by clutter? Well, someone that at one time was able to manage their passion for collecting can quickly turn into a hoarder if not assisted. If the family member has gotten to a point that professional cleaning is the only option to get their home back to normal, KRI can help. If the cluttered location is in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, a hoarding cleanup specialist from KRI can come help with the damage.

Hoarding Cleanup Professionals

By choosing KRI as your cleaning professional team, you will receive a team of experienced staff members that have plenty of experience cleaning a hoarding house. We understand that your family member may not want this clean up session to occur because it may bring unwanted attention around their addiction. That is why our crew is as discreet and confidential as possible and strive to cause minimal interruption to all parties involved. Our Texas Hoarding Cleanup Services include removal of items in poor condition, sanitation of every part of the home, as well as organizing a cluttered home. As tough as this may be for your family member in the beginning, rest assured that they will feel relief and peace once the home is brought back to a manageable state.

Problems Caused by Hoarding

  • Poor Air Quality – With boxes, food, clothes and even animals piled up around your home, the likelihood that the air circulating in the home is polluted highly increases.
  • Trip and Fall Issues – With trash and collectibles all over the home, someone could easily trip or fall causing injury to themselves.
  • Mold and Mildew – Anytime an area with moisture is not cleaned regularly, mold and mildew quickly builds. Especially inside, this is not good to have around.
  • Structural Damage – Collecting and hoarding items throughout a home adds heavy amounts of weight. If not careful, the excess weight can become too much for the house to handle, causing structural damage to the home over the long haul.
  • Greater Risk of Fire – A small fire that tends to be manageable in a clean house can quickly cause the whole house to burst into flames because of all of the clutter.

So, if a relative is struggling with hoarding and clutter within their home, KRI is here to help! If the home is located in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, give our team a call today at 1-888-382-2930 to learn more about our services.

Crush Of The Week #10

My choice for crush of the week this week may at first seem a little strange, as confirmed by both my Missus and the people at work, as it's Melissa Rauch, otherwise known as Bernadette Rostenkowski from The Big Bang Theory! Stay with me and you'll understand!

Melissa has been in a number of TV shows, most of which I haven't watched, including True Blood, but it's her role in Big Bang that brought her to my attention. Her plucky, screechy, role of Bernadette is one of my favourites from comedy TV and even though she's cute on that show it's nothing compared to her cuteness when she's seen out of character as the stunning Melissa. See below!

what a GREAT choice! I've always liked her better than kaley cuoco- who is VERY much a babe in her own right. GOOD CHOICE!!

Omaha Symphony invites Roman back for Dvorak Concerto

March 17th, 2017

“It all has this just incredibly emotional, tied together feeling, and for me it’s one of the most powerful works.

I love the twisted story behind it, but in the end it’s incredibly human and beautiful”

Joining the Omaha Symphony for the third time in one month, renowned cellist, Joshua Roman will be performing music of Dvorak in this weekend’s masterworks concert, “Pines of Rome”.

Roman “This was kind of crazy, but I was here last week playing the Kernis and that was great and I Was already excited because that was my second time to me back within a month and my fourth time getting to work with a symphony and getting to work with Thomas and getting to experience more of his breadth of knowledge and ability. And we were kind of joking around because I got a warning from United Airlines about the weather, the blizzard that was going to hit NYC. I got this warning last Friday, so Sunday we were joking around wouldn’t it be crazy that the soloist for next week also can’t get here because of the weather and let’s just sort of, a backup plan would be Dvorak, and it was totally a joke, but obviously, I’m willing.”

After Roman realized this was a serious invitation, he was so happy to experience more of Maestro Wilkins and the Symphony and explore a new adventure with a piece he considers the best concerto written, for anything.

ROMAN: “It’s already such a fantastically colorful piece, you don’t have to know anything about it. It’s basically one of his best symphonies, maybe even his best symphony but you are sort of guided through by the cello. The cello really takes on this central voice but it’s not like a concerto like the Tchaikovsky I played last month or the Schumann even, or especially the Haydn’s where the cello is out front and center and the orchestra is just the back up. In this instance, it’s really a community of sounds and colors and people sharing parts and the cello is very interactive with the other musicians. For me, he hits that balance so well that it gives it a sense of, that there is a real journey, a real story, it’s grand, it’s intimate, it’s everything.”

He began learning the piece as a young student, after his teacher told him he wasn’t ready yet.

ROMAN: “I think I was 13 when I got the music is secret anyway, and learned the Dvorak Cello Concerto. And, I don’t think I played it very well, but I do remember at some point saying, “Can I play Dvorak?” a lesson. And the response was, “What?, who said you could learn the Dvorak?”. So I’ve known this piece for most of my life and even before I’d ever give n a performance of the full concerto with orchestra, I would have been able to play the entire thing at a pretty high level for whatever level I was at the time, any day. I just loved it that much. I used to play it for myself in the middle, maybe as a procrastinatory measure of my practicing or sometimes at the end of my practicing. This piece is always with me and always ready to go.”

Not only has Roman been playing this piece for most of his life, but he has researched and studied every bit of it.

ROMAN: “So, Dvorak actually lived in Iowa for part of his life, which is not so far from here. Thomas Wilkins, the maestro, did mention that yesterday in rehearsal. I hadn’t really considered that as I was thinking about this week. This week was so last minute, that I am mostly just thinking about playing my part and I’ve spent a lot of time studying the Dvorak but I hadn’t yet made that connection, so that is pretty cool. There is this feeling, this comfort, this sort of Midwest thing that I think Dvorak could really relate to. At the time he wrote this, he was very homesick so you hear a lot of that in the piece.”

He also explained what happened in Dvorak’s life that led to the writing of the melody in the second movement.

ROMAN: “In Dvorak’s life, he married the wrong person. He married the sister of his true love, and this was not something that was a secret. I don’t understand, as someone who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, it doesn’t make any, like wouldn’t the sisters not let that happen, wouldn’t that be a problem? But back then it was more of a normal thing. He actually had written many songs thinking of his true love, the sister in law and there was one in particular that was her favorite, and he turned that into the melody of the second movement, which is kind of the heart of the piece.”

Come hear the interpretations of Dvorak with Internationally renowned cellist Joshua Romans. He joins the Omaha Symphony and Maestro Wilkins for the fifth time in his career this Friday and Saturday evening at the Holland Center for a Masterworks concert titled “Pines of Rome”, where you will also hear the music of Respighi and the Omaha Premier of a newly commissioned concerto for Brass. The performances begin at 7:30pm, for tickets and more information visit, or call, 402.345.0606.

Monsanto grant to provide new learning opportunities for students

Starting as soon as next spring, USD 252 South Lyon County students will have special opportunities to learn a variety of lessons through a special grant from Monsanto.

A special check presentation at the Olpe Chicken House on Monday finalized the district's success in obtaining a $25,000 grant through the America's Farmers Grow Rural Communities program funded by Monsanto. The money will help buy two greenhouses for district students to use -- one at Olpe Junior-Senior High, the other for Hartford High and Neosho Rapids Junior High.

The grant program is designed to let farmers support math and science education in their local districts. Ag producers across the district offered their support, and Monsanto spokesman Wade Collins was impressed.

{wbty_audio audio_id="321" audio_title=""}

Students will learn about science and agriculture through the growing process. The will also learn about economics and entrepreneurship with the produce either being sold or used in school kitchens.

The district school board is providing a dollar-for-dollar match "to make sure it's done right," Superintendent Mike Argabright says. Bids could be let this year, with construction next spring if the weather cooperates.

{wbty_audio audio_id="320" audio_title="Argabright: Great support from ag producers"}

USD 252 was the only Kansas district to receive a $25,000 grant this year. The program is distributing over $2.3 million nationwide.

A healthy diet with Lactose Intolerance!

If you have Lactose Intolerance, eating dairy can be a painful experience. However, you might not have to swear off dairy completely. People have a varying degree of symptom occurrence that has a direct correlation to just how much dairy you eat in a sitting. Try having small amounts of dairy gauge your limit. Also, spread your consumption of dairy products throughout the day.

Not to worry, if you are extremely susceptible to symptom occurrence at any amount, there are plenty of ways to live a dairy free life while maintaining sound health. The main concern of a dairy-free diet is a lack of calcium and vitamin D. Drinking one glass of calcium-fortified orange juice and one glass of calcium fortified soymilk a day will help you achieve daily requirements (600 mg of 1000 mg) for calcium. Foods that are plenty rich in calcium are broccoli, almonds, soy beans and bok choy. Add a multivitamin to your routine to help. With this said, nothing really substitutes dairy products. Try to find your level of severity and consume a safe amount as much as possible to ensure enough calcium and vitamin D intake.

Teen Pulse

  • Exchange student from Serbia expands her horizons in U.S.

    Every year, Los Alamos High School hosts a group of foreign exchange students who apply through various global programs such as the Rotary’s Youth Exchange, to explore American culture in depth.
    Srna Petrovic, an 18-year-old senior from Serbia, is one such student who views her exchange experience as an opportunity to “see how other people live in a different part of the world.” To her, being an exchange student means to “go somewhere where you have never been before and to stay with someone that you have never met before.”
    Petrovic applied for the exchange program because she “loved traveling and exploring new cities.” Originally, Petrovic wanted to be located near the ocean, but despite the fact that she was placed in Los Alamos, the opposite of a seaport town, she said she has come to love the mountains and sunsets.
    For Petrovic, the language barrier was nonexistent. Her proficiency in English, allowed her to observe the full swing of the American school system, as well as many different United States’ holidays, her favorite being Thanksgiving.
    Petrovic notes that in Serbia, she has “15 subjects each year, which [she] cannot choose.” There are also no clubs or extracurriculars available.

  • Homeschool education is on the rise

    For an increasing number of parents, sending their child to public school for a well-rounded education is no longer an option.
    Researchers say that homeschooling may be the fastest growing form of education in the U.S. Many reasons play into this statistic, the most recent of these being the implementation of the government’s controversial Common Core education system.
    Critics of the Common Core system say that it isn’t doing anything to improve learning and that because of high stakes testing and teacher evaluations, teachers will teach to the tests instead of being dynamic in the classroom.
    A 2011-2012 survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found that 74 percent of parents who home school do so because they were unhappy with classroom instruction.
    Another large reason parents are homeschooling is because of the school environment. According to the NCES survey, 91 percent of parents who choose homeschooling did so due to concern about the environment of the public school.
    For Elizabeth Janke, 17, the public high school atmosphere was not something she wanted to be a part of.
    After spending some time in high school, Janke decided to drop out of the system to study at home. She then took her General Education Development (GED) test at 15 years old.

  • Fashion column: Get your game on this prom

    A twice, or in some cases thrice, in a lifetime experience, prom is a memorable and important event to teens across the board.
    This year’s Los Alamos High School prom is set for April 25 and will be at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino, a promising venue for an evening of spectacular fashion and a showcase of unique tastes. To get ahead of the game in terms of fashion and flare, one can simply glance back at the 2015 Golden Globe and Oscar’s trends.
    Immediately, endless options for dress silhouettes and necklines are noted. A-line skirts, mermaid tail contours, and classic ball gown fits promise any wearer a luxurious evening of glamour. Sweetheart and halter necklines offer traditional paths to elegance while keyhole necklines denote boldness as demonstrated by both actresses Lupita Nyong’o and Anna Kendrick at the Oscars.

  • Local teen travels to D.C. for youth program

    From March 7-14, local teen Deanna Gutierrez took an all-expense-paid-trip to Washington D.C. to participate in the United States Senate Youth Program.  (USSYP)hosted 104 students from around the nation including two students from every state, two from the District of Columbia, and two from the Department of Defense Education Activity.
    USSYP is a leadership program that provides the opportunity for students interested in pursuing a career in public service to meet senators, representatives, Supreme Court justices and the president of the United States to further develop and explore their interests in government work.
    Specifically, the program was designed to increase teen understanding of the interactions and relationships between the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of government.
    Additionally, students are granted a $5,000 scholarship by the Hearst Foundation to pursue undergraduate education with a focus in political science and American history.
    The selection process starts when teachers from public or private schools nominate qualified students.
    To be eligible, students must hold some form of elected office or student body position in their school or community while showing an interest in government, history and politics.

GVSU women's hoops downs NMU, MTU

Dawson, Cairnduff lead GVSU to big conference wins

By Beau Troutman | 1/17/16 11:24pm

GVL / Sara Carte Grand Valley Women’s Baketball player, Kayla Dawson, runs the ball down the court against Michigan Tech in the Fieldouse on Jan. 16.

Prior to Thursday, it had been over a decade since the Grand Valley State women's basketball team held an opponent to under 20 percent shooting in a game.

That page in the record books can now be dusted off, as GVSU (12-4, 7-3 GLIAC) held visiting Northern Michigan to an ice-cold 17.8 percent shooting in a 70-30 win. The Lakers then hosted Michigan Tech on Saturday in a battle of GLIAC powerhouses, and won that one 68-57.

GVL / Sara Carte Grand Valley Women’s Basketball player, Janae Langs, blocks the ball against Northern Michigan in the Fieldhouse on Jan. 14.

“I thought we played with energy,” said GVSU head coach Mike Williams. “I thought we really engaged one another with communication, helping one another.”

The Wildcats jumped out to a 5-0 lead at the beginning of the game, but the positives went no further for NMU. The Lakers ended the quarter on a 15-3 run, and allowed just two more field goals for the rest of the first half, which was good for a 35-11 lead.

The Lakers turned on cruise control the rest of the way, holding the Wildcats to 8-of-45 shooting as a team, 3-of-15 from three and forcing 19 turnovers.

“We were pretty active with our hands in recovery, trying to get on the shooters, take away their inside game. When (Northern Michigan) got some looks they missed them, and that combination kind of snowballed things,” Williams said.

Forward Kayla Dawson was a Swiss Army Knife for the Lakers, totaling 18 points, seven boards, four steals and three assists.

“After our loss to Walsh (Jan. 7), we decided we have to have more energy during the game, and I think that energy made us have an intensity on the defensive side,” Dawson said. “It’s always fun when we have a good team win.”

After Thursday's impressive victory, the Lakers carried over their strong defense into the Saturday tilt against Michigan Tech. Although GVSU didn't hold the Huskies to 17.8 percent shooting, it still put up a solid performance and showed marked defensive improvement.

“I thought we were very disciplined, both on defense and offense,” Williams said. “(Michigan Tech) is a team that’s so patient, and they’re so good and so smart that, if you make a mistake on them, they make you pay for it every time. We showed a great deal of discipline down the stretch on both ends of the floor and made plays.”

The Lakers were efficient on the offensive end, shooting 50 percent as a team from the field and from 3-point range.

Trailing 44-37 at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers put the clamps on the Huskies in the final period. The Lakers held the Huskies to 6-of-19 shooting from the field, and outscored them 21-10.

“Coach always talks about having a major league sense of urgency,” said forward Bailey Cairnduff. “I think when it came down to it today, we definitely fulfilled that.”

Cairnduff had a solid night, leading all scorers with 18 points and adding seven boards and three steals. Dawson and center Korynn Hincka both scored 13 points.

This week, the Lakers will hit the road to face Lake Superior State on Thursday and come back home for a matchup with Northwood on Saturday.

Lessons in refugee hospitality from the Horn of Africa | Law

Lessons in refugee hospitality from the Horn of Africa

OPINION: Tamara Wood, The Conversation, 23 October 2015.

The unique response of the Horn of Africa region to Yemeni refugees could offer lessons to countries and regions dealing with similar influxes elsewhere.

Escalating internal fighting and Saudi-led air strikes in Yemen have led to an estimated 21.4 million people – more than 80% of its population – being in need of humanitarian protection or assistance.

More than one million people have been forced from their homes. Of these, approximately 100,000, both Yemenis and foreign nationals, have fled to seek safety elsewhere. The majority – about 70,000 – have crossed the Gulf of Aden, seeking refuge in countries such as Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibouti.

Access to territory and protection has been swift for Yemeni refugees arriving in the Horn of Africa. This provides a lesson in hospitality that would be well heeded elsewhere.

Unique reversal of roles

Yemeni displacement to the Horn of Africa is in some respects unique. Africa is a continent familiar with large-scale refugee crises. However, it is uncommon for those seeking protection in the region to arrive from elsewhere.

With the possible exception of South Africa – which receives a small number of applications for asylum from persons outside the continent – those seeking refuge in African states tend to come from within the region itself.

What is even more striking is that the countries of asylum themselves – including Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia – are among the chief refugee-producing countries in the region. Prior to the outbreak of conflict, Yemen was itself host to some 250,000 refugees, mainly from Somalia.

The Horn of Africa is a region beset with poverty and insecurity. So how has it responded to this influx of refugees from outside? The Yemeni crisis provides a unique perspective on refugee protection in a region where refugee policies and practices have largely not been analysed.

The protection afforded to Yemenis arriving on African shores is far from perfect. However, several features of the African response would be worth highlighting to those in charge of refugee reception and protection elsewhere.

Sound foundation for generosity

The legal framework for refugee protection in Africa is one of the most advanced in the world.

The vast majority of African states are party to the 1951 Refugee Convention. In addition, Africa’s 1969 Organisation of African Unity Convention (The link is no longer available) provides even more generous protections to those displaced from their homes.

The African Refugee Convention has been widely praised for its liberal approach to protection. It expands the definition of a refugee, broadens the principle of non-refoulement and endorses the principles of voluntary repatriation and international burden-sharing.

Implementation of the African Refugee Convention has been far from comprehensive. A lack of resources, legal capacity and political will continue to severely undermine protection in many parts of the region. Nevertheless, the convention’s humanitarian spirit reflects the often inclusive and welcoming approach of African states in times of crisis.

The Horn of Africa response to Yemeni refugees has been open, even welcoming, when compared with the reception of refugees elsewhere.

Access to territory has not been an issue. Horn of Africa countries have kept their borders open to those arriving across the Gulf. A representative of the government of Somaliland, himself hosting two refugee families, has expressed sympathy and messages of welcome for Yemeni refugees.

This reception of refugees stands in stark contrast to the blatantly defensive response to migration of some European governments.

Pragmatic approach

Regions such as Europe have crafted specific and detailed mechanisms for dealing with refugee protection in situations of mass influx. In contrast, African states by and large have adopted a more pragmatic approach. Recognising the need for protection, many African states simply confer refugee status on a group basis to all those fleeing the affected zone.

Rather than closing their borders until a regional agreement on protection can be found, the governments of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan have all granted prima facierefugee status to Yemeni asylum seekers. This facilitates quick registration and the provision of assistance to those arriving with nothing.

Role of customary norms

State-based laws and policies are only one aspect of African regional responses to displaced persons in need. In practice, customary norms of hospitality and the generous responses of host communities may have even more of an impact on refugees’ safety.

A large proportion of Yemenis displaced to the Horn of Africa are living with local communities, relying on their generosity and hospitality to survive. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, acknowledged this in a recent address:

In a world where more than two-thirds of all refugees are Muslim, it is important to recognise that there is nothing in the 1951 Convention that is not already present in ancient Islamic traditions and legal texts.

Lesson for the world

Displacement crises in Africa are generally considered less newsworthy than those in Europe. But they are no less devastating. In some cases, they provide an opportunity to reflect on how we might better manage such crises at the regional level.

Protection for Yemeni refugees arriving in the Horn of Africa is far from exemplary. Profound challenges remain. The lack of safe legal avenues means that the vast majority of those fleeing conflict in Yemen face perilous journeys.

Once they arrive, instability within many host countries means security is far from guaranteed. The lack of appropriate reception arrangements and a fear of removal or detention mean many refugees do not access formal protection channels. The shortfall of funding for protection and assistance in the region remains chronic. In countries where humanitarian resources are stretched beyond their limits, the regional response to the Yemen crisis remains only one-fifth funded.

Despite this complex and challenging protection environment, the response of many African states has been swift, generous and practical. The sense of solidarity expressed by governments and local communities stands in stark contrast to the responses to refugee crises being witnessed elsewhere.

Perhaps it is time to recognise Africa not just as a source of refugees but also as a (tentative) champion of principles of humanity and hospitality. These are principles frequently lacking when those forced to flee their homes and lives come looking for protection.

Imelda Deinla

The Phillipines - PhD
"UNSW offers much more than excellent academic support and innovative teaching"

According to Imelda Deinla, having already completed her Master of Laws (LLM) at UNSW, the University offers much more than excellent academic support, innovative teaching, and facilities.

“The combination of academic rigor and supportive staff and colleagues, all helped in expanding my knowledge not only about my research interest but also the world in general and also contributed to making me a better person in terms of understanding of different perspectives, world views and culture,” says the Phillipines national, who started studying at UNSW in 2003.

The option to develop non-academic areas of her skills – such as negotiation and facilitation – has also been a major bonus of studying at UNSW, she says.

Imelda, who is set to give her first presentation at an international conference in Melbourne this year, is investigating the feasibility and viability of a harmonised legal framework for the ASEAN countries in the run up to the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community. “I’m interested in reconstructing the function of the rule of law in ASEAN member countries and how it has impacted on the institutional dynamics of the organization and therefore on the future initiative for legalization in ASEAN,” she says.

Subject: Protecting Excellent Teachers
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that will protect excellent teachers by ending the process of seniority-based layoffs. This process – sometimes referred to as “last in, first out” or “LIFO,” is not fair for teachers, nor beneficial for students.

Seniority-based layoffs are dismissals caused by a reduction in force and, by law, must be conducted in order of inverse seniority. The last teacher hired is the first person fired, regardless of his or her impact on students. Basing layoff policies on seniority is a disservice to both students and teachers. While seniority is often described as “fair,” it actually ignores differences in teacher quality and disrupts more classrooms and schools than performance-based layoffs. Moreover, seniority-based layoffs disproportionately impact low-income and minority students.

Schools serving primarily low-income and minority families often have higher concentrations of new teachers than more affluent schools. When seniority-based layoffs occur, these schools experience higher teacher turnover and lose many more faculty compared to other schools.

Research demonstrates that under a seniority-based layoff system, the more effective teacher is dismissed roughly four out of five times. We need only look to the Pittsburgh Public Schools, where in 2012, 16 “distinguished” teachers were furloughed because of this outdated state law. While seniority-based layoffs push effective teachers out of the classroom, 11 states – including Pennsylvania – still require seniority to be the sole factor that determines layoffs.

The adverse impacts of LIFO make eliminating this policy common sense. Basing dismissals instead on strong evaluations allows performance – not the number of years served – to determine which teachers should remain in the classroom. A 20-year veteran teacher should and must be kept in a school if he or she is effective, just as a fifth-year teacher should be retained if he or she is effective. How well a teacher is helping students learn must be the guiding principle in the unfortunate event of layoffs.

Please join me in protecting excellent teachers by cosponsoring this measure.

Introduced as HB805

Sanctuaries of Segregation: The Story of the Jackson Church Visit Campaign
Sanctuaries of Segregation
by Carter Dalton Lyon

Thursday, November 30, 2017 | Event with Carter Dalton Lyon
event 5:00

Paperback. Signed.
Price: $28.00

Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi (pub: July 24, 2017)

Winner of the 2017 Eudora Welty Prize.

Sanctuaries of Segregation provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Jackson, Mississippi, church visit campaign of 1963–1964 and the efforts by segregationists to protect one of their last refuges. For ten months, integrated groups of ministers and laypeople attempted to attend Sunday worship services at all-white Protestant and Catholic churches in the state’s capital city. While the church visit was a common tactic of activists in the early 1960s, Jackson remained the only city where groups mounted a sustained campaign targeting a wide variety of white churches.

Carter Dalton Lyon situates the visits within the context of the Jackson Movement, compares the actions to church visits and kneel-ins in other cities, and places these encounters within controversies already underway over race inside churches and denominations. He then traces the campaign from its inception in early June 1963 through Easter Sunday 1964. He highlights the motivations of the various people and organizations, the interracial dialogue that took place on the church steps, the divisions and turmoil the campaign generated within churches and denominations, the decisions by individual congregations to exclude black visitors, and the efforts by the state and the Citizens’ Council to thwart the integration attempts.

Sanctuaries of Segregation offers a unique perspective on those tumultuous years. Though most churches blocked African American visitors and police stepped in to make forty arrests during the course of the campaign, Lyon reveals many examples of white ministers and laypeople stepping forward to oppose segregation. Their leadership and the constant pressure from activists seeking entrance into worship services made the churches of Jackson one of the front lines in the national struggle over civil rights.

CARTER DALTON LYON, Memphis, Tennessee, is a native of Lexington, Kentucky. He teaches and chairs the History Department at St. Mary’s Episcopal School.

20 Dec 2013 - Selex ES SAGE makes first UAS flight on Schiebel´s CAMCOPTER S-100

20 Dec 2013 - Selex ES SAGE makes first UAS flight on Schiebel´s CAMCOPTER S-100

Selex ES, a Finmeccanica company, has flown their SAGE electronic warfare system on an unmanned aerial system for the first time. On 12 December, the system flew on-board a Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 UAS in two separate flight trials after an integration period of just two days. Head of Capability Engineering for Schiebel, Chris Day, stated that “The flight trials went very well; the collaboration has been simply outstanding. We now have a unique capability to offer the global market.”

SAGE is a digital Electronic Support Measure (ESM) / Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) system for RF intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It enhances situational awareness by passively collecting emitter data from RF sources at a tactically significant range, comparing them with an emitter library and then identifying and geolocating any threats.

Pete Forrest, VP Sales for Electronic Warfare at Selex ES, said: “Armed forces are facing the two-headed challenge of needing to be able to detect increasingly sophisticated RF threats while having to operate under tighter budgets. With SAGE, customers can gain a sophisticated RF detection and geolocation system that they can operate cost-effectively using platforms such as the CAMCOPTER® S-100. We are pleased to be working so effectively with Schiebel and look forward to demonstrations around the world in 2014.”

SAGE is part of Selex ES’s portfolio of advanced electronic warfare capabilities that range from individual sensors to fully integrated defensive aid suites, all backed up by the company’s dedicated Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) facility. SAGE is in use with the UK MoD and has been provided to the Republic of Korea as part of a package of electronic warfare equipment for the country’s Maritime Operational Helicopter (MOH) programme.

Sean Gregan’s exclusive PNE column

PNE midfielder Paul Gallagher sees a shot charged down by Ali Al Habsi and Tennai Watson
PNE midfielder Paul Gallagher sees a shot charged down by Ali Al Habsi and Tennai Watson
Share this article
Have your say

You could say that Preston North End’s opening-day defeat against Reading mirrored parts of last season.

They only conceded one goal but were frustrated up front and could not find the target.

It always looked like being a strange first game for PNE, with Reading being somewhat of an unknown quantity under Jaap Stam.

This is Stam’s first job as a manager in England and until you see how his side played in a competitive game, it would have been hard to fathom them out.

I did regard Stam as being a strange appointment but who knows? He could turn out to be a god one.

Reading didn’t pull up any trees last season so maybe he is what they need.

The North End fans will be wondering if there are going to be more goals this season.

Perhaps Simon Grayson is hoping that now he is back fit, Jermaine Beckford can find the form he showed during the promotion season.

Beckford was a big miss last season and hopefully it isn’t too long before he starts hitting the back of the net on a regular basis.

There are still three more weeks of the transfer window left if Grayson wants to do some more business.

The right-back position needs some attention after the injury to Calum Woods and also with Tom Clarke limping off at Reading.

What North End don’t need to do after Saturday’s defeat is panic in any shape or form.

It is a long season and some teams start better than others.

When I was at Preston, we got beaten 5-0 on the first day by Gillingham in 2001 – the old play-off hangover excuse!

Hopefully, they can beat Hartlepool in the League Cup on Tuesday night and take some confidence from that into two tough games against Fulham and Derby at home in the Championship.

There is no doubt that the Championship is going to be a tough division this season.

Three big-hitters are down from the Premier League and seem determined to spend their parachute money.

I must admit that I’m not a big fan of clubs getting their parachute payments.

In my eyes, it is a reward for failure.

At the end of this season, the three clubs relegated from the top flight will get £87m-worth of parachute money over three years.

The idea initially was to help clubs get their wage bill in order after relegation.

Over the years, the amount of money has gone up and up, to the extent clubs don’t have to worry any more when they get relegated.

There will come a point where players don’t need to be off-loaded and wages don’t need to be cut, because the parachute money is massive.

They can just throw that cash at a promotion bid, while other clubs are having to abide by Financial Fair Play rules.

It seems that the system is now aimed at helping clubs go straight back up rather than helping them adjust to being outside the Premier League.

If we don’t watch it, the top flight will become something of a closed shop with the same clubs bobbing up and down, always with the safety net of huge parachute money.

It has been reported that one of the Newcastle players is still on £80,000 a week in the Championship.

There was no clause in his contract to take a wage cut when they were relegated, parachute money enabling them to meet that cost.

More people in the game are starting to voice concern about it but I doubt the rules will change.

Josephine is not your kind
She believes in magic and rhymes
You tried hard to make her fine
But she sleeps with acid

Do her parents know it´s for real
When she asked them to be high
I don´t know
But they sure will be aware of it

She smokes clouds every single night
Should be glad that she´s alive
In her head she sees butterflies with pistols

Josephine is not your kind
She believes in ravers with dimes
You tried hard to see her eyes
But they´re made for others

She runs to the club with some cash
And spends them all on pleasure
In her head there´s some old drug
Taking care of her

Gets the very best of a man
And pays him with a laugh
Don´t you see she is not a mystery

How can I use the ice maker?

How to use

For models released after R-T873VJCBU (produced in 2013),
water is automatically is supplied and ice is collected in the ice maker.
Refrigerator stops making ice after a certain amount is collected.

For previous models

Remove ice tray and fill with water.
Be careful not to spill the water. Place the ice tray back in.
Push the ice tray in fully.

 ▶ How to dispense ice

    Turn the switch clockwise.

When ice is not dispensed, turn the switch fully.

    ② If water is not completely frozen and the tray is turned,
         ice water can fall into the ice box and stick to each other.
         (It takes about three hours for water at 20℃ to freeze completely)
