![]() That’s one of the main issues that can get you stressed out. Let’s go back to all of the unknowns we are dealing with. You can get all those little confidence-boosting conversations and get a little reminder that you’re loved by a lot of people. ![]() While you might not be able to visit in person, you can still see them and chit chat without risking exposure to the coronavirus. Talk to friends, your children and grandchildren, or even your doctor. Use video calling apps like Facetime, Zoom, Google Duo, or any other platform you can find. You can also get in touch with SOMEBODY in a number of ways at most times of the day. You’ve got access to any piece of information you could ever want to know at a moment’s notice. The phone that you’re probably reading this article on is an amazing tool. While we can’t physically be around each other, you can still use technology to your advantage. Losing the ability to be in a social situation whenever you want is one of the big things that lead to loneliness, whether that’s seeing your family or spending time with friends. Once you accept that your feelings aren’t uncommon, you can move on to some more active measures. Feeling depressed, anxious, and stressed is a natural reaction to this giant mess we find ourselves in. One key here is to remember you’re not alone. Whether you’re in the high-risk category of contracting COVID-19 so you’ve chosen to stay at home or you’re quarantined because of exposure, you can start by addressing the issue that leads you down that path of depression or climb your way back up if you’ve fallen down. It’s not easy, but you can do several things to help keep from sliding down this slippery slope. Those bad habits and all of the uncertainty being dealt with also leads to cranking up your stress and anxiety levels. Once you are depressed, you might start developing some bad habits like unhealthy eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or not exercising, all of which are going to add physical problems to the mental ones. This is where you start getting depressed. Now you’re not getting all those little confidence boosters. That’s where you get a lot of verbal support and encouragement from those close to you. When all of those things stopped happening, you no longer had an outlet for those social interactions. You might be thinking, “how is loneliness going to hurt me physically?” Here’s how it works:īefore things like lockdowns and quarantines started happening, you may have gone to regular social outings like golfing, hitting the local watering hole, or having big get-togethers with your friends. Those issues include depression, problems sleeping, a faster rate of cognitive decline, and immune system issues. Believe it or not, it can cause both mental and physical problems that can snowball if not addressed. The impacts of social isolation and loneliness are far-reaching. Quarantines, self-isolation, and social distancing have made it extremely difficult to get that in-person interaction we all need (even if you’re more of an introvert you need some type of socializing every now and then). The Psychological TollĮven if you lived alone before the pandemic began, you probably have never felt so alone. You’ll feel a little better after we lay out how this affects your mental health and how you can keep a glass half full kind of viewpoint on the situation. This is a new virus that we are still learning new things about every day, we don’t know when things will go back to some semblance of normalcy, and the constant influx of negative news is overwhelming. When it comes down to it, the unknown is scary. With quarantines and self-isolation still being the best practice due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, coping with isolation during COVID is something many people are struggling with. A Department of Health and Human Services report says nearly 30% of older adults in the U.S.

Note: At some point the Diamond Shoals link will cease to work when that lighthouse is sold (or fully disintegrates). You can buy it if you want but we advise you to check out the “Deck01” video first! As an example, we note that GSA has one lighthouse for public sale right now – Diamond Shoals Light Station. The quality of the lighthouses runs the gamut though and you can be sure that if the aforementioned governmental or non-profit entities take a pass then the lighthouse has a bit of hair on it. Since enactment of this legislation in 2000, GSA has conveyed 84 lighthouses to new stewards. ![]() If the National Park Service finds no (governmental or non-profit) applicant to be qualified – or if no one applies at all – then GSA auctions the lighthouse to the general public. Then GSA manages the actual property conveyance to that applicant. Assuming there are responses to the NOA it is the National Park Service that evaluates them and recommends a single applicant to GSA. GSA then issues a Notice of Availability (NOA) for each one. The process of conveying these lighthouses is interesting because it requires three separate agencies to work in tandem: the Coast Guard selects the lighthouses it would like to convey and it sends information on these properties to GSA. Only if there are no takers does the GSA hold a public auction, allowing regular people like us the fantasy of living by the side of the sea in a house which, by design, has expansive unobstructed views of the water. So much so that u/Tiny9915 banned me for a week for responding to guesses before an hour. Perhaps this is why the Coast Guard first offers to transfer its lighthouses at no cost to federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit corporations, educational agencies, and community development organizations. Look, back when I was new here, there were times when I didn't always respect the rules. It can be an expensive and demanding proposition, requiring tremendous dedication. That means living under a light bright enough to be seen for miles and, in many cases, the regular sounding of deafening horns throughout the night. ![]() The big catch to being a steward is that you must agree to preserve the historic character of the property and maintain the lighthouse in working condition. Each year, the Coast Guard determines which lighthouses are no longer mission critical and then conveys them to lighthouse “stewards” to relieve itself of the annual maintenance costs. A Notice of Availability was issued this month for the Point Fermin lighthouse, San Pedro, CA (photo: Point Fermin Lighthouse Society)įor more than a decade, ever since the passage of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, the Coast Guard has been disposing of lighthouses.

Here, I present genodive version 3.0, a program for the analysis of population genetic and population genomic data. genodive is available for computers running Mac OS X 10.7 or higher and can be downloaded freely from. In addition, genodive makes it possible to run several external programs ( lfmm, structure, instruct and vegan) directly from its own user interface, avoiding the need for data reformatting and use of the command line. A unique feature of genodive is that it can also open data sets with nongenetic variables, for example environmental data or geographical coordinates that can be included in the analysis. The different types of analyses offered by genodive include multiple statistics for estimating population differentiation ( φ ST, F ST, Fʹ ST, G ST, Gʹ ST, Gʹʹ ST, D est, R ST, ρ), analysis of molecular variance-based K-means clustering, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, hybrid index, population assignment, clone assignment, Mantel test, Spatial Autocorrelation, 23 ways of calculating genetic distances, and both principal components and principal coordinates analyses. One major feature of genodive is that it supports both diploid and polyploid data, up to octaploidy (2 n = 8 x) for some analyses, but up to hexadecaploidy (2 n = 16 x) for other analyses. ![]() Furthermore, genodive seamlessly supports 15 different file formats for importing or exporting data from or to other programs. genodive has an intuitive graphical user interface that allows direct manipulation of the data through transformation, imputation of missing data, and exclusion and inclusion of individuals, population and/or loci. This version presents a major update from the previous version and now offers a wide spectrum of different types of analyses. Genodive version 3.0 is a user-friendly program for the analysis of population genetic data. ![]() The Oatley Academy benefits from the incredible experience of its founder Chris Oately.

Even if you are familiar with Photoshop, you might be able to pick up some useful tips! The purpose here is not to break new ground in Photoshop, but to make sure everyone understands what I am doing in my demos. In addition to iron, you will receive a couple of bonus tutorials: The first will give you a quick look at some of the common Photoshop commands that I use when painting textures.

The second form of medieval political warfare was “configurative wars.” These were wars fought not over the existence of political units, but over the territorial configuration of mutually recognized sovereign states. This treaty named Edward as the successor to the Scottish throne, thus creating the kind of dual monarchy that brought Scotland definitively (if only temporarily) into the English empire. This second war concluded in 1357 with the signing of the Treaty of Berwick. In 1332, however, fighting was renewed by England’s Edward III as part of his general effort to assert, defend and recover the rights of the English crown throughout the territory of the English empire. The war ended in 1328 with the signing of the Treaty Northampton, which formally recognized the sovereignty and independence of the kingdom of Scotland. The English understood their invasion in terms of the legitimate assertion of the rights of the English crown in Scotland the Scots as a war for the very existence of the patria against a hated foreign enemy. Both sides saw their war as a “just war”. When, chafing under this new dispensation, the Scottish king defied Edward and entered into an alliance with France, the English invaded Scotland. Thus, when John Balliol assumed the throne in 1292 he swore homage to Edward, effectively reducing the kingdom of Scotland to a province of the English empire. Seizing the opportunity, Edward agreed, but only on condition that the successful claimant recognize his sovereignty over Scotland. In the mid-1290s, the extinction of the Scottish royal line forced the magnates of the realm to appeal to England’s Edward I to arbitrate competing claims to the throne (and thus avoid civil war). Second, a succession crisis in Scotland provided Edward I with the leverage the English needed to press their claims to sovereignty over the Scottish kingdom. This predisposed the king and his officials to look for opportunities to assert sovereignty over, and tighten their administrative hold on, those territories that they viewed as naturally or lawfully falling within their empire. First, Edward I embarked on an ambitious project of building and consolidating the government of this English empire. Two developments, however, were to alter this situation in the later-twelfth century in ways that exacerbated the antagonisms between the kingdom of Scotland and the English empire. Prior to the mid-twelfth century, they had worked at subduing Wales and Ireland, but had not pressed their claims in Scotland too forcefully, contenting themselves with a loose feudal overlordship that conferred little real authority and nothing approaching sovereignty. As Davies argues, English monarchs had long seen themselves as high kings of a state that encompassed all of the British Isles as well as Aquitaine in southwestern France. On the one hand, the Plantagenet kings of England (Edwards I, II and III) were seeking to incorporate Scotland into the political unit that Rees Davies has called the “first English empire”. ![]() The wars fought by England and Scotland between 12 provide an illustrative example of constitutive war. ![]() ![]() Typically, they involved violent conflicts between kingdoms seeking to assert sovereignty within what they considered to be their natural, rightful or imagined borders and other political units (principalities, communes, leagues or even kingdoms) seeking to resist these efforts and/or assert their own claims to sovereign statehood. These wars were characteristically the result of antagonisms between kingdoms with unequal or mutually unrecognized claims to sovereignty. The first of these I will call “constitutive wars,” which I see as wars over the very existence of certain political units as sovereign entities. In this, the first post of the Medieval Geopolitics series, I take a look at the two types of political war fought in medieval Europe.īoth of these types of warfare were the norm by the fourteenth-century. When it comes to warfare in the Middle Ages, the common belief is that it was always motivated by feudal concerns, religious convictions, or by what Thucydides called the eternal drivers of “honour, fear and interest.” The reality is that medieval wars were often the politics of state- (and empire) building. ![]() ![]() The US tolls all have 6 open wickets in each direction - it's not really comparable to here, there are so many wickets the traffic flows very fast.Īnyway my point is unless you are staying for an extended period (you didn't really get into this) I wouldn't really say it's worth your time registering.
