The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza is a medieval palace and former residence of the first Dukes of Braganza, located in the historical centre of Guimarães, Portugal.
It was initiated between 1420 and 1422 by Afonso, Count of Barcelos, the illegitimate son of John I of Portugal, and future Duke of Bragança in a Burgundy architectural style, reflecting the taste acquired during his travel through Europe.
His descendants occupied the palace until the Dukes of Braganza moved to Vila Viçosa, abandoning the palace and the 16th Century marked the beginning of a period of ruin. During the 19th century the degradation worsened, when the local population used the palace as a quarry.
During the Estado Novo regime (1926 to 1974), a controversial restoration influenced by nationalist values and based on observation of similar palaces contemporary of this one in several European countries recovered the Palace, implying a grandeur that may not have existed. In this epoch it was used as one of the official residences for the President of the Republic.
Today, part of the building is used as a museum where beautiful Persian and Flemish tapestries can be seen as well as paintings and other historical objects.

Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart. Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving I'll tell you
one thing, it's always better when we're together.
Mine is season 5 because of all the romance and drama between bloom and sky, and if you want to know my least favorite, season 4, I don't know why just never really cared that much for it.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today told General Motors’ CEO that the “failure of [GM’s] legal department is stunning” and questioned how the company’s top lawyer has so far kept his job. The exchange was a part of McCaskill’s hearing of her Consumer Protection Subcommittee to examine the investigation into GM’s response to the defective ignition switches that have been linked to at least 13 deaths, including a fatality in Missouri, and other matters related to the ignition switch recall.
McCaskill and 10 of her colleagues, including the subcommittee’s top Republican, Senator Dean Heller of Nevada, used the hearing to examine recent developments and the policy implications following GM’s recalls earlier this year for Chevy Cobalts and other vehicles with defective ignition switches. In particular, the hearing focused on the various developments and findings since McCaskill’s April hearing, including the role of GM’s legal department, the May 29, 2014, investigative report, and the June 30, 2014, announcement of the GM Ignition Compensation Claims Resolution Facility program.

A photographic answer to a friend's question. The sword in this case is just a prop, the hat is the answer. My mother made this for me perhaps 25 years or so ago. I was seriously into Dungeons & Dragons at the time, so for Christmas one year I asked her to crochet a viking helmet for me. It is one of my most treasured possessions, especially now that my mother has passed on.
Associate curator of paleontology David Temple answers questions about Quetzalcoatlus.
Today we put together our new cast of a Quetzacoatlus - the Texas Pterosaur - perched, with wings folded. Even without the 36-foot wingspan spread, it's mighty impressive.
This Quetzalcoatlus northropi cast was assembled and measured to finalize the design of a Cretaceous vignette featuring three of the giant flying Texas reptiles that will be featured in our new paleontology hall in 2012!
The cast will be on display through Monday, Jan 17 - last chance to see this amazing creature before 2012!

Could you also provide me with a few quotes by answering these questions:
What is your best memory of WSSU?
"My best memory was attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference (ABRCMS) with the MARC U*Star and RISE NGIMS Program. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see friends I've made over the years from other institutions and the graduate school fair was extremely helpful in my decision for the next step. I also enjoyed volunteering at the organic garden down the street."
What do you love about WSSU?
"The faculty and administrators are VERY welcoming. They've provided meals for me, transportation to the airport, taken me to their church and even invited me in to their homes. They really look out for my well-being. I don't have any family nearby so its is wonderful to find so many people that are willing to make sure that I am okay. The same goes for students. WSSU truly fosters a familial environment."
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
"I expect to start my biomedical sciences PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. I currently have plans to pursue neuroscience however, I am open to whatever presents the most interest during my rotations.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
"As a member of WSSU's RISE program, it is expected that we have something lined up post graduation therefore, they are more than accommodating for such preparation. They funded me and several other senior for Kaplan GRE prep, they granted us half off vouchers (we'd only pay $100 instead of the $200), and they wrote AMAZING recommendation letters for each school that I applied. They also guided me in writing my personal statement. In addition to my program, my amazing mentor Dr. Kanu did they same. He also nominated me for several awards that I didn't even know existed, incorporated me into his international Chemist without Borders Sierra Leone Project and facilitated three publications. He would drill me every poster presentation and made sure I was able to explain everything in the simplest way possible (which is not easy) so that any and everyone could understand. Because of his mentoring, I won a poster award at ABRCMS and I also received an honorary second place award through MARC/RISE for Scholarship Day. Presentations are VERY important in graduate school because it is necessary to be able to relay your research. As a transfer student, I don't think I would have found that type of support and encouragement anywhere else.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
"I came to WSSU as a transfer student. I walked away from a full scholarship and WSSU offered to support me for the remainder of my degree (shout out to the admissions department!). It provided a healthy environment to continue my education, conduct research and continue to explore my musical interests."

Pictured: Colour Sergeant Hope of 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment answers questions from troops of the Belize Defence Force during a model building lesson at Price Barracks, Belize on 23 May 2016.
Soldiers from the North West of England have been in Central America passing on training techniques to their counterparts in the Belize Defence Force.
Personnel from the 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment are helping the BDF ensure its future junior leaders become great trainers in their own right.
Working out of British Army Training Support Unit Belize at the country’s Price Barracks, and nearby Hattieville Ranges, staff from 2 LANCS Dettingen Company delivered patrol tests, navigation skills and mapping techniques to 36 BDF soldiers each with the potential to become a junior non-commissioned officers (JNCO). But all that was secondary to ensuring the soldiers learn how to teach their skills to others.
Captain Danny Shal, from the BDF training team, said: “This is where it all starts for them; where we teach them things they need to know as soldiers. It is the start of a career path that could take any of them to the role of Sergeant Major.”
Demand to get on the British-run course was high – 50 applicants were turned away. Captain Rogelio Ramirez, Officer Commanding the BDF’s Training Company, explained why: “We have a lot of partner nations who come and assist us with training, but our doctrine is based on the British Army’s so your training is relevant to what we do. Also, because of the operational commitments your guys have done, we are now seeing how that doctrine needs to be updated.”
The work takes places in humid conditions and temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius. Lt Josh Sanders, the 2 LANCS officer in command of the training team, said: “The standards we expect from the BDF candidates are exactly those we would expect if we were running this for our own soldiers in the UK. What we’ve been able to deliver here has exceeded our expectations because we share the same basic Army doctrines.”
Brigadier General David Jones, Commander of the BDF, has worked hard since his appointment in 2012 to strengthen the military links between the two nations. Through his meetings with senior British Army staff and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, British Army training programmes are now being re-established in Belize.
Brig Jones said: “We have a lot of operational tasks that we have to maintain. The best way we can achieve success in those is by giving our soldiers the best training opportunities, and I believe those are through the British Army. Our soldiers have been instructed by our own JNCOs, but the instruction they get from the British is different; the British have served in different operations and conflicts to our personnel and their experience is what we need. Our soldiers enjoy this training, they say it’s very professional and they’d like more of it.”
As a result of this early success, further British Army supported courses are planned for later this year and 2017.
Capt Ramirez concluded: “It’s very beneficial for our soldiers to be working with the British but it’s also beneficial for the British too: we offer great experience of operating in the jungle – even the most junior soldier has been posted there.” So, while the eight-strong 2 LANCS Dettingen Company training team are carrying out their teaching role, 120 of their colleagues from the battalion’s Blenheim Company are undergoing their own five week tropical test – learning jungle warfare techniques from the BDF trainers.

great book!
www.wnps.org/blog/weighing-in-on-northwest-plant-books
I think it is Andy who inserted this (and some other) humor and wisdom -
“The radical Honesty self-improvement movement, spearheaded by psychotherapist Dr. Brad Blanton, advocates telling the truth, always — even if you are asked by someone for whom you care deeply, “Does this kilt make me look fat? Such frankness can be disarming, charming or alarming, but is said by proponents and converts to result in better communication, improved work environments and stronger, more loving relationships! In the case of Draba and your whispered question, “Does it really matter what species of Draba this is?” No, it doesn’t, not to the plant and not to you, unless the species is rare and endangered, you are trying to save it, and correct identification is crucial. Now, of course, it can be fun and gratifying to work your way through the maze, but sometimes it is more satisfying merely to acknowledge the beauty and complexity of these alpine gems.”
(They do include a page of electron microscope photos of Draba hairs.)

If you are a certain age, After School Specials on TV were part of growing up. As popular as they were, one episode was so disturbing that it only aired once. Those who saw it swear it's real, while others dismiss it as urban legend. It is, of course, "Janet and Her Secret Friend; or Rabies or Not Rabies: That is the Question".
