A new species of hermit crab, Pagurus fraserorum n. sp. (family Paguridae) is described from rocky subtidal reefs off KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and illustrated using both conventional drawings and colour photographs, and via three-dimensional (3D) X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT). Because of the limitation μCT has in detecting very fine and soft structures, a novel approach of manually drawing setation and spinulation onto the two-dimensional images of the 3D visualizations was used to illustrate the pereopods. In addition, an interactive figure and rotation movie clips in the supplement section complement the species description, and the 3D raw data of the 3D type data are downloadable from the Gigascience Database repository. The new species is the sixth species of Pagurus Fabricius, 1775 reported from South Africa and is closely allied to the Indo-Pacific P. boriaustraliensis Morgen, 1990 and P. pitagsaleei McLaughlin, 2002, from which it differs by its shorter ocular peduncles, by the armature of the carpus of the right cheliped, and also in colouration. This study presents the first description of a hermit crab in which a majority of taxonomic details are illustrated through 3D volume-rendered illustrations. In addition, colour photographs and COI molecular barcodes are provided, and the latter compared to COI sequences of specimens from Western Australia previously identified as P. boriaustraliensis and of specimens of P. pitagsaleei from Taiwan, as well as to three additional South African members of the genus. The South African taxon was confirmed to be genetically distinct from all species tested.
At first, the new emphasis on depth led to decidedly mixed results. Conflating depth with difficulty in a manner akin to the way that so many adventure-game designers conflate difficulty with unfairness, Cinemaware gave the world Rocket Ranger as their second interactive movie of 1988. It had all the ingredients to be great, but was undone by balance issues exactly the opposite of those which had plagued the prototypical Cinemaware game, Defender of the Crown. In short, Rocket Ranger was just too hard, a classic game-design lesson in the dangers of overcompensation and the importance of extensive play-testing to get that elusive balance just right. With two more new interactive movies on the docket for 1989, players were left wondering whether this would be the year when Cinemaware would finally get it right.

So, what with the game-play criticisms beginning to affect the bottom line, Cinemaware really needed to deliver something special for their second game of 1989. Thankfully, It Came from the Desert would prove to be the point where they finally got this interactive-movie thing right, delivering at long last a game as nice to play as it is to look at.
One word: encryption. Once people encrypt P2P networks (which they are already starting to do), there will be no possible way (in theory) for the ISPs, media companies or government to even know what is being transmitted over the internet, let alone filter for illegal material. Nobody outside of the two parties transferring data will know if you were copying illegal movies or Linux distributions (which is perfectly legal). The only way would be for the government to subpeona the IP addresses on the filesharing list and search them for the illegal material (or to just block them from the internet directly).
They've got their earphones in, listening to Spotify, and they're Facebook chatting on one side, they're texting on the other side. And right in the middle of the screen is their homework that they're completing that they may have downloaded from an online educational platform. But there's literally simulation and information coming at them from all sides. And this is new in human history.
So all of these things let me-- I wrote about all of these things in a paper called Full Week Faith, and it's available online free to download. You can read more information about it. And there's also a study guide that goes along with it as well. I wrote it in a way that religious professionals could take this document and share it with laypeople, because we all know these common issues.
There's a church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that is doing a Families First Night. So the first Wednesday of the month, I think it is, families show up at quarter of five with their kids. They share pizza together, or the kids have pizza. They go downstairs. They watch a movie. They spend time with the religious educator.
It also means using social media to deliver content. So if a child can't be in Sunday school on Sunday morning, they know, the parents know that that tapestry of faith lesson is going to be linked on the Facebook page of the church on Monday, so they can download it and their kid will not miss any part of what happened in that classroom community.
So these cards, I should mention, that are pictured here, these are on the Full Week Faith website as well. I created a series of 12 activities that lean our churches into a Full Week Faith approach to faith formation ministry. And they're downloadable on my website, that you'll get the URL for, so you can share them in your congregation as well, if you'd like.
So what we will need to make these change is resources. Did I miss-- yeah, one of the slides seems to be missing. Oh, well. So we'll need resources. So there are resources out there, and that is the good news. There are these Full Week Faith cards that you can download and use. But there are also great family ministry resources, like the Family Pages that come in the middle of your UU World magazines. Those are great.
What we also need are lay allies. So we need folks in congregations who won't throw up so many barriers and resistance to changing the way things have always looked. That it makes shifting in this direction possible. So in the Full Week Faith paper, if you want to read more about it, there's this chart that describes how changing innovation is adopted in systems. And it's based on the work of a sociologist named Everett Rogers.
So what I will just point out is that the idea is to have your allies, your innovative, early-adopting allies, lined up before you step in in that chasm spot to lend your power and authority to move it forward. So the heavy lifting at first is going to come from folks who you have shared this kind of information with and who you see as people who want to lean in a new direction.
And in fact, there is a term of art, experilearn, by which we mean we're going to faithfully engage in trying something new. And there's no way we can fail, because whatever the outcome, we're going to learn from it and let those learnings shape the next experiments that we're going to try. So sharing that understanding and having a group of allies in your congregation who will back you up on that is something else that we will need. And of course, good solid metrics to assess the impact we hope these shifts will have, and how will we tell whether they're doing the things we want them to do and having the impact we want them to have.
JESSICA YORK: He says, about downloading lesson plans and work from Tapestry of Faith if they miss a Sunday morning. Any tips for people who mention this is what their weekday teachers want them to do? And they admit that they also don't do it in that setting.
KAREN BELLAVANCE-GRACE: Right. So this is where the curation piece comes in, because I've heard this also from religious educators, is that our Tapestry of Faith curricula are so well written and so thoroughly researched and so pristinely edited, and that takes a lot of pages. So I know I've heard from religious educators too, who have teachers that get overwhelmed when they see that it's 30 something pages to download. So that's where the religious educator can be a curator and just take out the text of the story to share with your parents of kids who can't be there on Sunday morning, along with two or three questions for reflection together, instead of downloading the whole lesson plan.
There's the Full Week Faith page. It's on a Weebly website, which is a free website building tool. So the entire document is there. You can download it or you can read it online. You can read it by chapters or share chapters with your RE committee. There's also a discussion guide that my colleagues, Pat Infante and Mark Bernstein created to engage your lay leadership around, and the activity cards are there as well.
The Communist leaders have turned once productive farmland in China into dry sandy deserts. And their Russian allies have caused the Sea of Aral, once a plentiful source of fish, into a desert wasteland. And after doing all this, they point to the USA as the enemy. The real enemies of the Russian and Chinese peoples are the dictatorial, murdering Communist leaders.
Haha yes North Korea's Borg allies have served them well (00) Wasn't there a bizarre James Bond movie where the main bad North Korean guy makes himself white I think British white haha? Completely irrelevant to the topic but for some reason made me think about that.
Yes, you are absolutely right. Instead of our current plan of action, we should support North Korea and assist them in developing long range missiles and nuclear technology. Meanwhile we should destroy our nuclear arsenal and eliminate any defensive strategies. That way they have the ability to provoke a global thermonuclear war, and they have a means through which to attack the United States or it's allies. Then, we can expedite the increasing of the potential for a third world war.
There are reasons that country is stil divided and they go back to before Korean Conflict began to the end of WWII and agreements signed and then broken by not North Korea, but by the aiiies that won it but without China and Russia who said they wanted to stick to original agreement. The Korean Conflict as carried out by the allies was one of most deliberately brutal conflicts since when US Masacred thosands of unarmed Phillipinos when it invaded and conqured that nation after Spanish American war. The devastation to N Korea was worse than any of European nations during WWII! Not one single structure was left unscathed in all of the land not even a farmers house let alone a villege was not targeted, even if NO millitary were within 100 miles from there! RAPE and Straffing of Civilians WAS SO COMMON no one reported it. Remember Custers 7th Cav of Indian defeat@? Not finding any indians to wreck revenge upon they took it out upon N. and S Koreans. 2ff7e9595c
