On 31 October 2016, Turkish police detained at least 12 employees of Cumhuriyet newspaper, Turkey's largest secular, left-leaning paper, and one of the few publications that continues to criticise the government. The detained media workers are accused of membership of, and committing crimes on behalf of, two terrorist organisations: the Kurdistan Workers' party and the Fethullah Terrorist Organisation (FETÖ), which the government accuses of being behind the failed coup attempt. According to media reports, prosecutors also issued detention warrants for two of the newspaper's executives, who are both currently abroad.
Following police raids, the following people were taken into custody: Murat Sabuncu (Cumhuriyet Editor-in-Chief); Güray Öz (Cumhuriyet board executive and columnist); Aydın Engin (former editor-in-chief of the newspaper); Hikmet Çetinkaya (columnist); Eser Sevinç, Hakan Kara, Musa Kart, Bülent Utku, Mustafa Kemal Güngör and Önder Çelik (all board members of the Cumhuriyet Foundation); Turhan Günay (Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper's book supplement); and columnist Kadri Gürsel, who is also the head of the International Press Institute's Turkey office.

22 Nov 2019
On 21st November 2019, the Istanbul 27th High Criminal Court upheld the conviction of 12 former Cumhuriyet employees (Akın Atalay, Ahmet Şık, Aydın Engin, Bülent Utku, Güray Öz, Hakan Kara, Musa Kart, Hikmet Çetinkaya, Murat Sabuncu, Orhan Erinç, Mustafa Kemal Güngör and Önder Çelik), despite the Court of Cassation ruling issued in September 2019 that had acquitted the 12 defendants, with the exception of journalist Ahmet Sik, who the court had said should be tried for a different crime. The High Criminal Court Court also ruled for the continuation of judicial supervision imposed on the 12 defendants, and acquitted a 13th defendant, journalist Kadri Gürsel.
28 Oct 2019
On 25 October 2019, an appellate court ruled for the release of Emre İper, on the basis of changes in the law aimed at improving the freedoms of speech and the press that entered into force on 24 October 2019. In their appeal, the defense referred to an amendment to the Anti-Terror Law pertaining to the offense of "propagandising for a terrorist organisation", whereby the expression of "opinions that do not overstep the boundaries of giving news or that have the aim of criticism does not constitute a crime".
13 Sep 2019
On 12th September 2019, overturning the verdict of a lower court, the 16th Penal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Appeals (Court of Cassation) ruled that the execution of the sentences of seven Cumhuriyet staff members shall be suspended and requested the journalists be released. Musa Kart, Güray Öz, Hakan Kara, Önder Çelik, and Mustafa Kemal Güngör were released in the evening from Kandıra prison. The released staffers are barred from leaving the country. The court did not overturn the sentence of Emre İper, who remains in jail. It additionally requested cancellation of Bülent Utku's arrest warrant. The ruling also overturned the conviction of IPI Executive Board member Kadri Gürsel, who was serving the remainder of a two-and-a-half year sentence on probation. He currently remains under travel ban. The Court also requested Ahmet Şık to be retried under a new set of "terrorist propaganda" charges. All the Cumhuriyet journalists and staffers except İper have been released following this verdict, and those thirteen defendants will be retried for the original terrorism charges at a lower court.
03 Jun 2019
On 29 May 2019, Kadri Gürsel was sent to Metris Prison to begin a 30-month prison sentence upheld by the court of appeal in February 2019. Later the same day, the journalist was released from prison as his request for probation was accepted.
03 May 2019
On 2 May 2019, the Constitutional court ruled that the rights of journalists Kadri Gürsel and Murat Aksoy were violated. (The court has been reviewing rights violations for those arrested after the coup attempt, but its rulings do not automatically affect criminal sentences.) On 2 May 2019, the appeals based on the "breach of fundamental rights" were overruled for Akin Atalay, the former publisher of Cumhuriyet; Murat Sabuncu, Cumhuriyet's former editor-in-chief; Ahmet Şık, a reporter; and Bulent Utku, a high-level editorial manager.
29 Apr 2019
On 25 April 2019, six journalists and executives surrendered to Kandıra prison in Kocaeli province after an appeals confirmation of their jail sentences was officially communicated to Turkey's National Judicial Informatics System (UYAP) on 19 April. Defendants – Musa Kart, Önder Çelik, Mustafa Kemal Güngör, Güray Öz, Hakan Kara and Emre İper – returned to prison to serve the remainder of their sentences.
19 Feb 2019
On 19 February 2019, the 3rd Penal Chamber (the court of appeal) of the İstanbul Regional Court of Justice upheld the verdict on the Cumhuriyet newspaper' case handed down by a lower criminal court in April 2018. This is the final judgment for the defendants who were sentenced to prison for less than five years: journalist Kadri Gursel and lawyer Bulent Utku will not go back to prison due to time already served ; journalists Hakan Kara and Guray Oz, cartoonist Musa Kart, lawyer Mustafa Kemal Gungor, board member Onder Celik, and accountant Emre Iper will return to prison to complete their sentences. Editor-in-chief Murat Sabuncu, journalists Ahmet Sik, Hikmet Cetinkaya, Orhan Erinc, Akin Atalay and Aydin Engin, all sentenced to more than five years, will appeal against their sentences.
26 Apr 2018
On 25 April 2018, an Istanbul court convicted 13 journalists and executives of Cumhuriyet of aiding terrorist organizations and sentenced them to jail terms ranging between two and seven years. The court placed the journalists on probation and banned them from traveling until the appeals process has ended. The judge also ordered the conditional release of Cumhuriyet chairman Akin Atalay. The court acquitted three of the defendants : Bülent Yener, a former board member, Turhan Günay, chief editor of the daily's literary supplement, and Günseli Özatalay, the chief accountant.
12 Mar 2018
On 9 March 2018, the 27th High Criminal Court of Istanbul ruled for the release of Murat Sabuncu and Ahmet Şık pending the conclusion of the trial. Sabuncu and Şık remain under judicial control. The daily's chairman, Akın Atalay, however, was remanded in custody until the next hearing, scheduled for 16 March, during which the prosecutor is expected to submit his final opinion.

16 May 2017
On 12 May 2017, Oğuz Güven, editor-in-chief of the online edition of the daily newspaper Cumhuriyet, was detained as part of a criminal investigation led by the Bureau of Press Offences of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Istanbul. On 15 May, Güven appeared before a judge, who ordered that he be held in pre-trial detention, on "propaganda for a terrorist organisation" and "defamation against a person's memory" charges. Both charges against the journalist are solely based on the title of a news report published and tweeted by Cumhuriyet on an online account about the accidental death of a prosecutor. During the hearing, the journalist repeated that the controversial tweet ("the prosecutor who sought the first warrants against FETÖ was cut apart by a truck") was only visible during 55 seconds, was immediately corrected ("the prosecutor lost life in a serious car accident") and is one of the 300 tweets per day written by the journalist, that he cannot be suspected of doing anything to support any terrorist organisation.

On 7 April 2017, Cumhuriyet's Finance Manager Emre İper was taken into custody during a midnight raid on his home by police. He was arrested on 19 April on charges of using ByLock, a communications app allegedly used by the Fethullah Gülen network and "being member of a terrorsit organisation".
11 Jan 2017
On 29 December 2016, the investigative journalist Ahmet Şık was detained by Turkish authorities on charges of " propaganda on behalf of an illegal terrorist organisation" and "openly denigrating the Republic of Turkey, its judicial organs and its military and police". Şık tweeted that he was being detained due to a single tweet; a news report stated that the detention also related to various reporting elements including an interview with Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)'s administrator published in Cumhuriyet daily in March 2015. On 30 December, Ahmet Şık was officially put under arrest on charges of spreading propaganda for the PKK, the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C) and for the Fethullah Gülen group, an Islamic network the Turkish judiciary refers to as the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ). All three groups are outlawed in Turkey. A report published by the Cumhuriyet claimed that Ahmet Şık had been denied drinking water for three days at Metris Prison, where he was kept before being transferred to Silivri Prison on 3 January. The Justice Ministry's Directorate General for Correctional Facilities released a statement denying the allegation, the official statement claimed Şık was given 1.5 liters of bottled water on 1 January. The Turkish authorities own regulation states that "any inmate has to right to have on daily basis 200 liters of cold water and 50 liters of hot water". Ahmet Şık also claimed that he was denied access to newspaper, pen and books in the cell. Ahmet Şık's access to his lawyers (Can Atalay and Tora Pekin) and family members were also denied during the first 5 days of his detention because the authorities couldn't record the conversation between the lawyers and their client. Şık was previously arrested in March 2011 in relation to an investigation into the Oda TV news website. He spent a year in prison for an unpublished critical book about the Gülen movement supported, at that time, by the AKP government. Today, the journalist is charged with doing propaganda for the same movement.

On 8 June 2017, the European Court of Human Rights communicated to the Turkish Government the case of Sabuncu and Others v. Turkey. The applicants, ten journalists from the daily newspaper Cumhuriyet placed in police custody and subsequently in pre-trial detention on suspicion of having committed offences on behalf of terrorist organisations and disseminating propaganda for them, complained about their pre-trial detention and its duration, and also submit that there has been a breach of their freedom of expression. They further allege that their detention is a sanction against them for criticising the government and amounts to politically-motivated judicial harassment. They rely in particular on Article 5 § 1, 3 and 4 (right to liberty and security / right to speedy review of the lawfulness of detention), Article 10 (freedom of expression) and Article 18 (limitation on use of restrictions on rights).

text: I tied a few of these this weekend and received a comment (Josh McFadden @ hatchhunters.com) that I shouldn't use an under layer of chenille, or anything but flattened lead and multiple layers of the wrapped condom. I experimented, based upon those suggestions, and it was a better result. Also, I used an orange condom rather than red (I haven't tried the Vladi Pink). I liked the color potential here. The darker central portion was the securing thread wraps over the flattened lead. After quite a few thread wraps the black thread shows through. If I wanted to lose that affect, I might choose a different color thread. Not sure I want to.

Wednesday evening, October 8, 1941 a group of interested persons met at Oran Roberts School for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Church. Mr. A.M. Collins made a motion "that those who have letters from any Baptist Church constitute themselves into a Baptist Church." The motion was seconded and passed.
Articles of Faith and a Church Covenant were adopted, and the Rev. H.H. Stagg was elected pastor. A motion was also passed recommending that the Church apply for admission to Union Baptist Association.
There were 123 persons who constituted the charter membership of the new church and their names were attached to the minutes of the organizational meeting. The meeting was adjourned with prayer by Pastor Rev. H.H. Stagg.
At the Church Conference of October 29, 1941 a motion was made and passed that a lot on Greenbriar at Southgate be purchased. A committee was also appointed to investigate financing of a building and to prepare preliminary plans for design of a building. The committee seeking a name for the church presented three suggestions and the name Rice Temple Baptist Church was selected.
During the first three years of existence the new church met at the Roberts Elementary School for worship services and Sunday School classes. The members desired to build a church building on the lot that had been purchased, however it was during World War II and building materials were either not available or were in short supply. Funds were also in short supply and the members pledged to buy bricks (blocks) at 50 cents each and also volunteered to do the construction labor.
There was very little steel available and used oil well drilling pipe was obtained to use as the vertical support posts. Large wooden beams were needed for the horizontal supports and new beams were not available. A few months before plans for the new building were completed, a tropical storm destroyed a county park pavilion near Galveston Bay. The materials from this destroyed structure were made available and the church was able to buy a sufficient number of wooden beams to construct the building. Much of the other wood used in the building was also used and perhaps came from the same source. The building was first occupied and dedicated on Sunday, August 6, 1944.
Church growth had been steady and although an additional Educational Classroom Building had been added, there was a pressing need for a larger worship facility. The currently existing Sanctuary was completed and dedicated in 1954. After the new Sanctuary was completed, the first floor of the original building was remodeled to include permanent interior walls to create classroom space instead of relying on the folding partitions which were used during the years of dual use (worship service and classes). Also in 1954 a one story connecting building was added between the original building and the back of the new Sanctuary, which was the new location of the church offices. The new Sanctuary was air conditioned and at this time air conditioning was also added to the previously existing buildings.
Mr. George Smart (the Choir Director), who was also a professional architect, was asked to design an addition to the existing facilities. This addition, completed in 1963, included the Parlor, a kitchen and fellowship hall, and second floor classrooms above the fellowship hall. This was the last large addition to the facilities, however since that time several major renovations have been made to all of the existing buildings, including the interior of the Sanctuary.
The church has acquired several adjoining properties and has been successful in getting the deed restrictions modified to permit future expansion of the church facilities.

This gorgeous coral ombre paper garland backdrop would be a stunning accent for birthdays, weddings, or any other special occasion. This airy garland captures light beautifully to create a whimsical backdrop for any event.
The display features a beautiful reverse ombre fading from dark orange coral at the top, to shades of medium and light, corals, and then fades to white at the bottom. Each circle is hand-dyed to create the beautiful array of coral and peach hues.
This display is 7 feet tall and 7 feet wide. It includes 18 strands of coral ombre garland. The strands have been draped over the backdrop stand to give it a more layered look.
I am able to customize this display by adjusting the length and color of the garland, as well as the number of strands. Please contact me if you would like to discuss customizing your paper circle garland backdrop.
The garland does not include the backdrop stand.
The strands are folded and carefully packaged in plastic bags (usually 5-6 per bag, each strand separated by a paper clip). The strands are not pre-attached to the horizontal hanging line. I will include a 10 ft long piece of hanging twine to be used as your hanging line. Please let me know if you need it to be longer.
If you would like to hang this display on your wall, I recommend using 4 Command hooks (they can be purchased at your local craft or hardware store and are NOT included with this display). Space and hang the 4 hooks evenly on your wall according to the product directions. The two hooks on the outside of your display should be about 8ft apart- they will serve as your anchors for the actual line. Tie the twine to these hooks. The middle two hooks will serve as a rest for the line to ensure it does not sag. Once the line is tied between the hooks, you can hang your garland. Simply take one end of the strand and drape it up, over, and down the backside of your hanging line. About 1/2 of each strand of circles will drape down the backside of the display to give it a layered fullness.
You can also purchase a backdrop stand on Amazon for about $30 or use a tension rod if you are trying to hang the garland between two posts or in a window.

Some people can claim to be a connoisseur of wine, or modern art or wild orchids; I have become rather a connoisseur of hurricanes. You can't live permanently on an out island of the Bahamas for 16 years without earning a history of hurricanes.
One remembers each hurricane intimately, but not with any fondness, with more a resigned, dull feeling. Rather like past principals of a school. The dread they instilled, their names you never forget.
This week Hurricane Irene arrived out of nowhere. One moment our island was filled with innocent, happy tourists enjoying the last of the summer, the restaurants filled, the dive boats busy, the beach caressed by the bodies of Europeans, smug in the knowledge that Harbour Island was simply the jewel in the crown, there was no more beautiful beach to compare in late August.
But Irene turned her attention on us. The tourists fled, the restaurants slammed shut, and the dive boats sailed to safer harbors.
As the island began to shut down, I found myself in Florida, with a dog having emergency surgery and preparing our foster child for his new school. With four other children, two more dogs, a parrot, and a cat back on the island, I was desperate to get home. After much stamping of feet, I found a pilot prepared to fly the dog, me, and our new chainsaw (oh, the romance of a chainsaw) back to the Bahamas, currently a country being evacuated.
It's an eerie feeling landing at an airport preparing for a natural disaster. There are no planes, and inside the terminal (although this is possibly an overrated term for the North Eleuthera airport) there are golf carts and equipment piled up inside, rather than out.
I took the last water taxi running from Eleuthera to Harbour Island. As I watched the boat pull away from the dock, to return across the bay, an overwhelming sense of isolation swept over me. We are a tiny island, in the middle of an ocean, with a 130-mile-per-hour hurricane rushing toward us. We were utterly powerless.
The town was deserted, shops shut, houses boarded up, just the faint noise of tap, tap, tap as Bahamians nailed on their last shutters. Most of the golf carts had been tied down, all of their roofs removed, in case the wind caught hold and flew them like kites. The elderly had been moved into the churches, the young were getting drunk. More babies are born nine months after a hurricane than any other time of year.
David, my other half, had secured most of our property into a hurricane-tight haven. Every window, door, nook, and cranny had been tightly sealed except for one side of the glass French doors in our bedroom and one in the sitting room, which were both sheltered under terraced roofs and in the most distant corners from where the hurricane was predicted to come. Later on during our 32 hours of being boarded in, these two slithers of light became our little life rafts.
We all took one last walk through our pretty garden, past our beautifully manicured ficus hedges and down our exotic jungly beach path shaded by handsome mature palm trees. The sea was raging. It was a nasty clammy gray color. The sky was a nasty clammy gray color. Everything was sweltering. Irene was sucking up every bit of moisture from around us. We limped back to the house.
Despite their protective plywood embrace, the windows, walls, and doors began to scream. Irene had arrived.
In the early hours of the following morning, the winds dropped, and a strange calm spread across the island. The eye was over us.
We began to slink outside, tentatively crossing the terrace. Our garden was lost. The ancient bougainvillea that had lovingly encircled our home had been brutally whipped to the ground, garden gates had been torn from their posts, and palm trees ripped from their roots. Tears began to slide down my face. I couldn't bear to look at David, who had spent so much time caring for all these friends for so many years.
The dogs were in desperate need of stretching their legs. We all walked down to the sea. Our beach path was impassable, we found another way on the back road. The beach was a mess, all the steps had been shredded, every cabaña was missing, and the surging sea was clawing away at the dunes.
The skies darkened once again, and we started back toward the house. We had seen armfuls of crabs emerging from beneath the sand on the beach. They also needed to stretch their legs. And now hundreds of dragonflies were dancing about, drying their wings. We passed broken branches hosting dazed and bedraggled pigeons who were so shocked and sodden that when the children ran up to touch them they never moved a feather. The pool had turned a dangerous green color. A family of frogs were swimming around on each other's backs looking proprietary.
A drizzle started to fall, and we knew that Irene was on her way back to slap the other cheek.
Irene remained an unwanted visitor over our island well into late evening. Mentally bruised, we began to come back to life. Just taking the shutters down and re-entering the world of daylight was a relief in itself. My eldest son, a sleepy teenager, found a damp baby hummingbird, dazed and confused. He protectively brought it back to his room, where he fed it banana and gently wrapped it in a warm cloth. In the morning the bird was dead.
There are many things hard to forgive when nature decides to wield its uncontrollable power—our Bahamian friend Pandora lost the roof of her house, Marissa's home flooded, and the island's historic library tragically fared worst of all.
In truth, our garden will grow again, the sun will shine once more, and we will remain island bound. But perhaps after all, hurricanes, volcanos, and earthquakes are a message that something much greater than us is in control, and we should possibly pay more attention to our planet.

Infrared Inspection is a sophisticated means that I utilize on every one of my inspections. It is a tool that assists me to preliminarily identify the presence of moisture and energy related issues, such as missing insulation or pathways for conditioned air loss and ambient air intrusion.
Misconceptions that some folks have regarding infrared imaging are that it has x-ray capabilities and also involves radiation. It does neither. The camera primarily detects the differences in surface temperature which I then interpret using my Infrared Imaging training. I also use a state-of-the-art camera that combines the produced infrared image with what the eye sees, as shown above.

You smashed my car window. You stole my market basket. You stole a package addressed to my grandchildren. You stole the handmade blanket that it took me six months to knit for my newest grandchild. I hope that you gave that blanket to a child who needs it. I hope that child knows that love and aloha went into that blanket. I hope you learn that grandmothers give unconditional love. Even to a person like you. I hope your life turns around so you can give love and aloha instead of heartache and sadness.

Great pieces, love the towels. Thanks to the artists for such a great job, delivering a quality product!
This digital watercolor shows a quaint scene in historic downtown Nappanee, Indiana - unfortunately, one that will never be seen again, as the building was destroyed by a massive fire in January, 2008.
As a young girl growing up in northern Indiana, Sandy MacGowan was greatly influenced by her late father, a professional photographer. That influence, coupled with her love of art, would resurface years later after she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University. Sandy spent most of the next ten years as a computer graphics artist, specializing in speaker-support presentations, medical illustration and graphic design. While studying 3D computer graphics and animation in Canada, Sandy met her husband, Brian MacGowan. As another computer graphics artist with extensive training in photography, he has provided her with much insight into the quirks and foibles of computer graphics. While on a career hiatus...

ICSA Ireland
12 April 2016 by Sandra Tierney
"The digital future of Europe," Andrus Ansip, Vice President for the Digital Single Market noted in December 2015, "can only be built on trust." His comments crowned four years of intense negotiation, the result of which is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), expected to be formally adopted by the European Parliament and Council in the next few months and to come into effect two years thereafter. There are multiple reasons for replacing the 1995 Data Protection Directive, including the need to keep pace with new technologies and reduce the burden on companies operating across several European jurisdictions. Previously companies had to deal with as many Data Protection Agencies as member states they operated in, but under the GDPR will only deal with the Supervisory Authority within the jurisdiction where they have their main establishment. Clearly replacing 28 different data protection laws with one harmonised regulation is a practical measure (the reduction of red tape is expected to save companies €2.3 billion in annual expenditure), but the issue of trust is an equally important factor and companies should strive to keep it in focus when preparing for the new regulation. The last decade has been notable for high profile whistleblowing and data leakages that have called into question the protective structures around personal data. The impact of Edward Snowden's revelations can be seen in the Court of Justice of the European Union's recent decision in the Schrems case whereby the EU-US Safe Harbour regime was deemed invalid, leading to the negotiation of a new and hopefully improved framework for data transfers from the EU to the US (Privacy Shield). The recognised vulnerability of personal data found expression in a recent Eurobarometer survey which found that two thirds of Europeans are concerned about the lack of control they have over the information they provide online. The GDPR is seeking to resolve the issue by giving EU citizens much greater control over their personal data. At the same time, companies that process or control data within the EU will have far higher obligations towards their customers. Failure to observe these obligations will lead to extremely heavy sanctions, with companies liable for up to €20 million or 4% of annual turnover from the previous year depending on the severity of the matter, whether a breach was caused by negligence or intent, whether mitigating actions were taken, etc. Company obligations under the GDPR comprise roughly 200 pages of text, but the following are some of the main provisions:
Inevitably some companies will feel that these new regulations strip away old hindrances only to present new ones, and certain public figures have already expressed their concern. MeMe Rasmussen, Chief Privacy Officer for Adobe has said that the GDPR "was written by people who don't run businesses," while other figures such as Sheryl Sandberg and even President Obama have signalled their wariness. On the other side, some feel that the regulations don't go far enough − Germany's Data Protection Authorities, for instance, highlighted their concerns that the GDPR would weaken Germany's existing regulations, and noted that they would have liked to see provisions such as the mandatory appointment of a Data Protection Officer applied more widely. The two-year period prior to the commencement of the GDPR will give companies space to fully consider their data protection activities in light of the incoming Regulation and to put in place necessary measures and safeguards in accordance with their obligations, in particular the Privacy by Default and Design principles. The penalties for non-compliance are severe and well-advertised, but perhaps it is more important to reflect on the benefit for companies that actively engage with the new measures and seek to cultivate something more than mere observance. Such a benefit will be the trust of their customers. In an age where the misuse of personal data has led to a high and pervasive level of cynicism, perhaps it is trust that will emerge as the most valuable economic asset.

5 Tips for Applying Liquid Roof Coatings
Your RV is an amazing asset – it gives you the ability to get up and go wherever you want, whenever you want. It offers freedom and enjoyment, as well as the ability to explore the entire US if you want. However, it will need some TLC over time. You'll need to invest in regular maintenance for the engine, wash the exterior regularly, and generally make sure that it stays in good shape. You'll also need to reseal your roof periodically. Liquid roof coatings are the best solution for this need, but applying them can be challenging. Here are five tips to help make things simpler for you.
1. Know When to Apply
This first tip has nothing to do with applying liquid roof coatings, and everything to do with whether or not you need to refresh your RV's roof in the first place. If you notice that the roof material is leaving chalky residue on your hands, it's fine – that's all part of the aging process. What you need to look for are signs of damage like shrinkage of the existing rubber, seams that might be pulling apart, and the like. Knowing when to apply a new rubber coating is just as important as knowing how to do it.
2. Warm and Sunny
If you realize that it is time for liquid roof coatings, you need to time your work correctly. While the right rubber formulation will be waterproof in almost any conditions, you need to set yourself up for success. Wait until the weather is warm, dry and sunny. This will help ensure that you're able to apply the liquid roof material evenly and quickly, and the warmth and sunshine will speed drying and curing.
3. Inspect Things First
Before you jump right into the application process, take a moment to inspect your RV's roof. What you're looking for here are signs of damage, as well as wear and tear. For instance, if you notice seams pulling apart, you'll need to use a quality butyl tape to cover them. You may also need to caulk around vents in the roof of your RV, as well. Repair any signs of damage you might see to ensure that you can apply liquid roof coatings easily and evenly, and that the rubber will create an impermeable barrier.
4. Use the Right Tools
Before beginning the application, make sure you have the right tools for the job. You will need a paint roller and several replacement rollers. Ideally, you'll opt for a roller with a short handle that can also accommodate a longer, broom-style handle. This will allow you to roll liquid roof coatings on the entire roof evenly without putting stress and strain on your back. In addition to a roller and handle extension, you should also have a decent paintbrush for getting up close to vents and other protrusions.
5. Clean and Dry
Our final tip is about making sure the roof surface is ready for the application of liquid of coatings. Dirt, debris, mold and mildew should all be removed. In some cases, you may need to just rinse the roof of your RV with clean water, but most of the time you will actually need to scrub it. Use a wide, soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution to scour away anything that might prevent the rubber from adhering correctly. Then, you need to wait and let it completely dry before doing anything else.
With these tips, you should find applying liquid roof coatings simpler and easier. Take your time, repair any damage first, thoroughly clean and dry the roof, and make sure the weather is right for the work you need to do.

For those of you booking a stay in one of our beach rentals Charleston, smart move. You have chosen to come to the best place on the planet.
Those of us who live here may already know this, and we may be accused of being a tad bit biased. But we're not the only ones saying it. A very trusted source in the tourism biz has made it official.
This week, Travel + Leisure magazine released the results of their annual "World's Best" Awards, as determined by their readers' survey.
Charleston ranked #1 destination, again. It has been the number one place in the United States and Canada for a few years now. But for the first time, it's now atop the list as the BEST CITY IN THE WORLD TO VISIT.
It's the first U.S. city ever to top the world's list.
Way to go, Holy City!
The 2016 World's Best list is the 21st annual ranking by the esteemed travel magazine. The big news was announced on the Today Show by Senior Editor Jacqui Gifford.
The rankings are based on the following areas: sights and landmarks to see, culture and arts, food and restaurants, people and friendliness, shopping, and value.
Those of you who have been to one of our SC vacation rentals before – namely a Charleston beach house, be it one of our Isle of Palms vacation rentals or our Folly Beach rentals Charleston – probably don't need a survey to tell you how great the Lowcountry is. Charleston is hot, and I'm not speaking temperature-wise. The demand for beach house rentals Charleston SC is higher than ever, since staying in a luxury house on Isle of Palms or Folly Beach house Charleston is such a great way to experience the area.
Still, it's nice to get the official recognition.
Editor Nathan Lump of Travel + Leisure had this to say about our fair city: "Charleston is a remarkably dynamic place, so it's no surprise that it has achieved its highest ranking ever in our survey as this year's best city in the world. The city has managed to preserve all the qualities for which it is widely known—a prime coastal setting, historic architecture, friendly locals—while also nurturing a creative culture that is making it one of the most notable destinations for those who seek out interesting restaurants, bars, and shops that highlight a dedication to distinctive craft."
And once again, for the fourth year in a row, Charleston has been named the best city to visit in the United States and Canada.
Here's the list:
1. Charleston, SC
2. Chiang Mai, Thailand
3. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
4. Florence, Italy
5. Luang Prabang, Laos
6. Kyoto, Japan
7. New Orleans, LA
8. Barcelona, Spain
9. Savannah, GA
10. Cape Town, South Africa
Here's a link to all their rankings: http://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best
Here's more on the story from the Post & Courier: http://www.postandcourier.com/20160706/160709686/travel–leisure-magazine-names-charleston-best-city-in-the-world
…and here from ABC News 4 : http://abcnews4.com/news/local/charleston-the-worlds-best-city-travel-leisure-readers-say
Rival travel magazine Condé Nast previously named Charleston #1 on their World's Best list.
Every time one of these rankings comes out, the word spreads even more about how wonderful Charleston is. That increases the demand even more for luxury beach house rentals SC. So if you are interested in staying in one of our rental homes South Carolina, either Isle of Palms luxury rentals or Folly Beach rentals Charleston, you'd best call us as early as possible with your preferred dates.
All best,
Lowcountry Lisa
your Isle of Palms vacation blogger

Speed limits are highly essential and present in almost every jurisdiction of the world with the only exceptions being the autobahn road in Germany. However, while they may be frustrating, speed limits are necessary requirements to ensure the safety of road users.
In Oman, speed limits are listed alongside the roads, though as with some of the other Middle Eastern countries, the speed limit is not precise. There is usually a specific range of speed within which fines will not incur.
In Oman, the allowance was 15km an hour above the specified speeds on certain roads. The reason for this is to account for variations and inaccuracies that may exist in car speedometers.
Royal Oman Police Announcement
The Royal Oman Police have recently revealed that they have looked into the accident rates around the nation and have decided that the best way to combat the same and produce a safer driving environment is to install speed cameras. These cameras will not permit the additional allowance in speed which has previously been authorized.
There will be a grace period before the fine comes into effect to allow motorists to adapt to the change. The aim is to reduce the percentage of accidents and incidents that occur.
Having these zero tolerance cameras in only certain areas will be a tricky situation to manage as drivers must be aware of where they are located. The grace period may help to solve this by allowing the authorities to tweak the system to produce the best and safest outcomes.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Q&A with Kit Foster: August 16, 2012
Q. The June 28th Q&A had a question about radial tires and shock absorbers. As for the standard GM rear-wheel-drive car, a single-action shock was used with both bias and radial tires right up into the late 1990s. With a few exceptions, the first year for GM cars with radials was 1975. On large cars, like Sherman Shiflett's Olds 98, no change was made to the shocks. This car was built for a comfortable ride and not fantastic handling. Most aftermarket shocks are double-action and that nice soft ride is lost with replacement shocks.
Phil Aubrey, Merlin, Ore.
A. As I said in response to Mr. Shiflett's question, I have put radial tires and so-called "radial-tuned" shocks onto two cars, a 1963 Ford Falcon V-8 and a 1969 Buick Skylark. I was more than happy to lose the "nice soft ride" and get better handling. I remember renting a Chevy Nova in 1975 or '76 and being pleasantly surprised at how well it handled. It was apparently supplied new with radials, although I don't know what shock absorbers it had.
Q. I have what might be an unusual question. My girl Debbie and I own four little three-wheeled trucks called Trivans. They are different in that they have the single wheel in the rear. They were built here in Pennsylvania back in 1963 for a very short time. Approximately 145 of them were built before bankruptcy in less than a six-month period. Many parts were farmed out to Ford. The front suspension, steering column and wheel, and three-speed transmission are all Ford Falcon items. In fixing these trucks, we have found the master cylinder that works both the brakes and clutch to be from a 1960-'66 Chevy truck. The wheels are four-lug, 15-inch Studebaker. The engine is a 32-hp, 62.2-cid two-cylinder, four-cycle Kohler air-cooled generator motor. The rear bed reminds me of the Corvair Rampside, with a folding gate (although a bit different), but no rear access. It has the same kick-up at the back where the Corvair had the engine nestled in, except this one has the single rear wheel riding under that space.
My question is this: The rear wheel is an enclosed unit of unknown origin (at least to me), with a right-angle drive ratio of 6.54 to 1. Needless to say, a speed demon it is not. Projected top speed from the original brochure is listed at: "55 max." With gradeability and the "standard" 6.70 x 15 tires (in gears, percent) 1st: 10 mph, 25.6%; 2nd: 16 mph, 13.5%; 3rd: 26 mph, 8.0%. I am wondering, is there any way to change the ring and pinion to a different, more workable or acceptable ratio to make street travel a bit easier on the vehicle? I understand these were not meant for highway use, as they were marketed towards industrial warehousing applications. Although International almost chose it as its "alternative" to the bigger trucks it offered, IH backed out at the last minutes of the short-lived history of this truck. I would be thankful for any information you or readers might have concerning the truck. This gearing is driving me nuts. Forget little old ladies on a Sunday afternoon. I get beaten by kids on skateboards.
Bill Fidler, Reading, Pa.
A. In order to find a different ratio ring and pinion, you should really know the source of the one you've got. It looks to me like there's room for an overdrive behind the transmission, which would require "only" shortening the driveshaft. I don't believe Ford offered overdrive on Falcons, but I see some web chatter about installing a Borg-Warner T-86 transmission with R10 or R11 overdrive, used in two-seat T-Birds and some Studebakers, in a Falcon. Maybe that would work for you.

The Isle of Iona
Iona lies a mile off the coast of Mull and is some three and a half miles long and one and a half at its widest point. The island has been in the care of the National Trust since 1979.
Iona is geologically different from its neighbour and is low lying, easy walking takes you past the best preserved medieval nunneries in Britain which was built in the early 1200's by Reginald MacDonald of Islay.
Beyond is the world famous Iona Abbey, passing through the gate on your right is Relig Odhràin & St Oran's Chapel: the oldest religious building on Iona. Beyond is an older graveyard, the resting place of generations of Scottish Kings.
The abbey is the highlight of most visitors to Iona, which stood as a decaying ruin from the late 1500's until the Duke of Argyll started preservation work in 1874. Ownership transferred to the Iona Cathedral Trust and restoration work started in 1902 and was completed in 1965, the abbey is now in the care of Historic Scotland.
Iona is an enchanting island and visitors should take time to explore the island. Samuel Peploe first painted here in 1920 together with fellow Scottish Colourist F.C.B. Cadell. Both artists returned most summers, fascinated by the island's light and dramatic, changeable weather.
The Isle of Staffa, one of the most famous isles in Scotland, lies to the north of Iona with its famous Fingal's Cave. Felix Mendelssohn composed one of his finest works, the Hebrides Overture, also known as "Fingal's Cave", that memorialises the young composer's visit to the Island in 1830.
The ferry service offers half day trips out to this most famous of Scottish isles, and to explore and experience the rich Scottish wildlife including seals, seabirds and dolphins.
The Treshnish Isles tour offers an opportunity to view whales, dolphins and sharks, on the sailing to Lunga. Over two hours are ashore on Lunga to visit the puffin colony before sailing to Staffa to visit Fingal's Cave.
For further information, please visit Staffa Tours.
The rugged coast and beautiful beaches and hidden sandy coves are a delight to explore, and perfect for cycling, walking and watersports. You can even enjoy a round on one of the UK's remotest golf courses.
Birdwatchers (twitchers) flock to The Western Isles and the inner Hebridean island of Iona in particular. The reason is the rare and elusive corncrake (crex crex). Besides being its Latin name, "crex crex" is also the corncrake's distinctive call, and twitchers come to Iona from all over the UK to try and hear it as well as catch a glimpse in their iris bed nesting grounds.
We can help you to make a reservation for any of the activities. Day tours, boat trips or dinner reservations.
Don't forget to book your ferry tickets if you're bringing the car. And as from 26th October 2015 Caledonian MacBrayne have reduced their ferry fares to the equivalent of travelling by road which gives you a huge saving on the cost of getting here!

Forget hot wax and nipple clamps. The darkest and most twisted examples of sadomasochism are found under beds and in sock drawers the world over. Consider the phthalates-rich butt plug, whose toxins are slowly poisoning its user's body via the holiest of holies. Or the discarded rubber dildo, buried in a landfill and contaminating the groundwater. These instruments of pleasure may in fact be causing environmental and biological pain, Molly Freedenberg writes for the San Francisco Bay Guardian. And while their actual impact may be overstated—especially in comparison to other harmful, more widely used items—its not difficult to play it safe and find these same items made from more eco-friendly (but no less user-friendly) materials, like the seaweed-based dildo created by Love Piece. Or get creative and make your own. Just don't forget the sandpaper.
If you do own a jelly toy that you suspect contains phthalates you can protect yourself by covering it with a latex condom. When you do decide to replace it, stick with "green" materials that don't harbor chemical residue like pyrex glass sex toys, medical grade silicone and food-grade vinyl. http://www.tabutoys.com/ is a good source for eco-friendly products.
Don't forget that you should also recycle your old sex toys rather than just throwing them away. My company (LoveHoney) in the UK has a recycling program for old vibrator. You can see the first tonne of them being recycled here: http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/buyersguide.cfm?article=78 The workers at the recycling plant were surprised! Richard http://www.lovehoney.co.uk

He does act differently with IU than with LYJ, but I don't know if my judgement of that is accurate because I haven't watched any other BTS footage of him with LYJ. Just from that one video for comparison though, JJS laughs and smiles a lot more with IU. He feels a little more... free with his emotions. I might watch K2H after YTBLSS just to get my dose of JJS... lol. But I'll probably be watching YTBLSS on repeat until his future dramas come out, though it won't be the same because IU won't be in them. Link to post Share on other sites

TORONTO - J.A. Happ's two-seam fastball escaped him. And with it, so did the game.
Happ suffered his first loss of the season and was pulled after two-plus innings as the Toronto Blue Jays fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 13-2 on Monday night. He gave up seven hits and eight earned runs, all because his go-to pitch was misbehaving.
"I just don't think it's coming out of my hand the same way," said Happ, who added he felt sharp warming up in the bullpen. "Maybe I'm trying to manipulate it too much instead of letting it work."
Happ started the season hot with five wins over seven starts and a 2.05 earned-run average to lead Toronto in both categories. His 30 strikeouts heading into Monday's game were fifth best on the team, but Happ has always been a groundball specialist. He now has a 3.40 ERA and 32 Ks.
"This game can certainly drive you crazy and in the past it has," said Happ. "Tomorrow I'm going to flush it and I'm going to come in and get my work in like always. We'll keep going.
"I felt good and I'm going to feel good the next time out and we'll do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was more direct.
"He's human, y'know?" said Gibbons. "He's been so good, he's been on such a nice little run. Chuck it out, move on."
Steve Pearce, Tim Beckham, Curt Casali and Desmond Jennings all hit home runs for Tampa Bay (17-19), which scored in each of the first four innings to build an early 11-0 lead. The Rays offence dominated all night, outhitting the Blue Jays 17-8.
"We came to play," said Jennings. "Everybody hit the ball."
Drew Smyly (2-4) struck out six and gave up four hits and an earned run over five innings for the win. Steve Geltz, Ryan Webb, Dana Eveland and Enny Romero allowed only one run over four innings of relief.
Dustin Antolin, Joe Biagini, Drew Storen, Chad Girodo and Jesse Chavez came in from the bullpen as the Blue Jays continued to leak runs and Toronto (19-21) lost its third straight.
Pearce established Tampa's lead early, putting the first pitch he saw clear over the left-field wall, driving in Taylor Motter for a 2-0 lead. It was Motter's major league debut.
The Rays piled on in the second inning, with Kevin Kiermaier's sacrifice fly to deep centre field bringing Jennings home from third. In the next at bat, Beckham hit a home run to right-centre field, scoring Casali as well for a 5-0 lead.
Happ's night ended in the third inning when he gave up an RBI single to Steve Souza Jr. That brought out Antolin, also making his major league debut.
Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson helped Antolin out, making a highlight reel diving stab to get Jennings out.
There was no helping Antolin in the next at bat, as Casali hit a three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole for a commanding 9-0 Rays lead.
Jennings helped Tampa score for the fourth inning in a row, driving in two runs with a double to make it 11-0.
Gibbons was ejected from the game in the fourth inning after arguing over a called strike that sat down shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. It was Gibbons's second ejection in a row after getting tossed from Toronto's 7-6 loss in Texas on Sunday. Tulowitzki was also ejected.
"Ah, y'know, balls and strikes," said Gibbons when asked what he said to home plate umpire Mike Winters. "That's all."
The Blue Jays finally got on the board when Jose Bautista hit a RBI single to centre field, scoring Darwin Barney and advancing Josh Donaldson to third base. Edwin Encarnacion hit into a double play to end the threat.
Pearce again added to Tampa's lead in the eighth, driving in Motter with a single to left field to make it 12-1.
Ezequiel Carrera, subbing for Bautista in right field, hit a ground-rule double to lead off the eighth. He was driven in by Encarnacion's single to cut in to the Rays' large lead.
Jennings crushed a pitch from Chavez into the second deck of Rogers Centre in the ninth inning, bringing the score up to 13-2.

Bolt the superstar: Christ the balm in Gilead
So it's all over now. The World Athletic Games in Korea have come to a dramatic conclusion. And at the end Jamaica's name stands tall, as our men, not just won the gold medal, but, broke their own world record, in the final event - the 4 x 100 relay. So there will no more waking up in the wee hours of the morning ( not me) to watch the Kenyan long distance stars, the dominant European field events stars, the upcoming Caribbean stars, and the now household names of Jeter, VCB - even the British commentators " caught the fever" and began using that affectionate term - Sally Pearson, Allyson Felix, Usain Bolt and other stars perform. There will be no more exciting commentary and almost encyclopedic type recounting of athletic data by the numerous well read and highly competent commentators - although some had fairy creative pronunciations - we have heard, read, and listened to, in various forms of the media. So sadly, as far as many are concerned, we are back to the mundane politics, the latest movies, the latest dance-hall moves, and other happenings until the Olympics in London next year, when the salivation and excitement starts all over again. So while the entire world was watching the "Usain Bolt" Games - why do you think they switched the 4 x 100 men from the usual penultimate day to the final event - and there are some people in Jamaica and indeed in the world, who come pretty close to worshiping him, "The God of Heaven and Earth and the sea and all that is in it", spoke in very clear terms about the only One before Whom " every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord." That why all history is divided into B.C. - before Christ, and AD -Anno Domini, after Christ. Firstly a Word about why He came on earth from heaven. " Do not let not your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14: 1 " When he ( the Counselor ) comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment.: in regards to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regards to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. John 16: 8-11 NIV " If the world hates you, keep in mind that that it hated you first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to: No servant is greater than his master . If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. if I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me, hates my Father as well. if I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: They hated me without reason." John 15:18-25 NIV One of the big problems in our societies across the world, and sadly creeping into the church, which really is a manifestation of our inherent tendency - like all sheep - to disobedience, is the modern trend of downplaying the notion of sin. Both private and public! No so, said Jesus. In fact it is to establish and draw attention to the sinfulness of mankind which caused God " in the fullness of time" to send His Son - to die on the Cross of Calvary. All because of Sin. So how can we be like " traitors" to the Cross of Jesus and not challenge ourselves and other to turn back from living a sinful life. And the prophecy is that the more we stand up for Jesus in this regard, the more the world will hate us, and persecute us. And sadly, too many people shy away from that kind of lifestyle as they " love praise from men more than praise from God". So they preach "powderpuff" sermons that do not challenge the souls of their congregations; they don't challenge persons, by word and by lifestyle, who come into their lives to do better; the pursuit of justice is not part of their Christian agenda; and they fall easily into being entertained and satisfied by what Bolt and others serve up on a regular basis. So be careful as a Christian when you have no apparent troubles in life. Be careful when, even though you may be assiduous in your worship and prayer life, reading the right books and leading an " upright life", you create no " waves" in the lives of non-believers; when yourself and non-believers watch the same television shows, agree on " moral issues", and in fact can hardly be shown to be any different from your friends in how you spend your time and your money and your efforts - apart from going to church and reading your Bible. As the reality is that we too have " seen the miracles" that Christ performed and the most important one took place was on the Cross of Calvary. That's why, if we are really surrendered like St. Paul to Christ, persecution in some form or fashion, from man or from the devil, will inevitably follow, as night follows day. So be very careful of the " trouble free" Christian life. Be careful when, like Bolt, the entire world likes you, rather than hates you. Be very careful when the entire world, or even all your friends and associates, " hang on to every word you speak or write", as many of the journalists do with Usain Bolt -why do you think that the Jamaican Press Conference in Korea attracted over three hundred journalists as was reported in the press! Also this week the Word of God from the OT Scripture passage appointed in my church stated that: The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him a watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows his trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take the warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be upon his own head. Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be upon his own head. if he had taken the warning, he would have saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of of one of them, that man will taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood." Ezekiel 33:1-6 NIV So where does that leave the church of Jesus, the forerunner of which was the children of Israel, and to whom this prophecy was given by Ezekiel and which Word came directly from God? If we have not been diligent in warning one of the worse criminals of our time, and he has admitted to some of his crimes, Dudus Coke, and though he now languishes in a foreign prison, is his " blood" not on our head. And even if the case against us is not as manifest as the crimes of this drug don, regardless of the status of those around us; whether they have HIV or not; whether they are gay or not; whether they commit adultery; whether they tell lies publicly or privately, big ones or small ones; whether they use foul language like a sailor or like a frustrated mother or wife; whether they sit in the sanctuary or wear a mitre or " get in the spirit" in the congregation; whether they steal from the public purse or from the privately owned business; whether they be wife or husband or child; whether they be the one who looks in the mirror or points to the neighbour next door; if we do not act to warn others and most importantly, turn back from our wicked ways - then blood of those around us is on our head. There is a wonderful story of a cripple, who had been waiting by a " healing " pool for many years without being able to get inside and who Jesus healed with great compassion. And when Jesus sought him out later, told him to " stop sinning otherwise something worse may happen to you". So we too who have been healed by Jesus' stripes, need to repent daily and turn back to God and stop sinning. Finally the same song from last week keeps reverberating in my head. There is a balm in Gilead To make the wounded whole, There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sin-sick soul. Sometimes I feel discouraged, And think my work's in vain, But then the Holy Spirit Revives my soul again. ...There is a balm If you can't preach like peter, If you can't pray like Paul, Just tell the love of Jesus, And say he died for all....there is a balm That's what keeps me going from day to day, from hour to hour, not just from one kind of excitement to another. The fact that my Lord died for me on the Cross. The fact that , as the song writer states so eloquently and poignantly: Amazing love! how can it be That, Thou my God shouldst die for me. So it's not all about Bolt and VCB after all. Nor is it all about USA vs Jamaica! But rather, it's all about being obedient to the One who died for us on the Cross of Calvary. As when Asafa really wants have the right balm for his soul as well as his injuries, when Bolt's father gets down on his knees, when VCB's mother gives thanks for her daughter's victories, they all turn to the One who is the only balm in Gilead. So should we too turn to Christ as a nation, and Kenya, and the big America and all nations should bow before Him and worship Him, Christ the Lord. From Queen to commoner, from President to the janitor and from Prime Minister to the ordinary man in the street. In Daegu and in Kingston, in Moscow and in London, in Lagos and in Jo'berg. Amen

Charge Capture —
AlertMD's fully-integrated pro-fee charge capture solution that automates entry of professional fees. A hands-free mode, called AutoCode by AlertMD, takes the provider out of the loop and enables automatic generation of pro-fees.
Our artificial intelligence module Cassidi® automatically reviews clinical notes and saves time for the coders. It generates suggested pro fees when there are none. We reduce the time for the pro fee to be sent to the payor by about 9 days. We have also shown a 7% reduction in CBO expenses.Learn More
