How many of you prefer to use Google's Chrome browser instead of the alternatives? Chances are that most of you do. At least, according to StatCounter, the web traffic analysis tool. They did some research in finding out who's currently leading the browser market.
In May they said that Google Chrome overtook Microsoft's Internet Explorer in the most used browser category. Their latest results from the period of July 2011 to July 2012 show that this hasn't changed much. Chrome is still leading with a 33.81 score. That's more than one third of the worldwide browser market. Internet Explorer is second with 32.04, Firefox next at 23.73, Safari with 7.12, and Opera with 1.72.
In July of last year, Internet Explorer was in the lead with a 42.45 score. Chrome and Firefox followed with 22.14 and 27.95 respectively. The analysis also shows Safari declining from a 5.17 score last year and Opera slightly improving with a 1.72 score.

IPTC Data
IPTC data is a method of storing textual information in images. It provides a standard way of storing information such as image title, captions, and keywords. Because the information is stored as part of the image's meta file data, it can be accessed by other IPTC aware applications. Clickbooq uses IPTC data to display an image's Title and Captions in your website's portfolios. Even Keywords can be used to help facilitate searches in your Toolbox Image Archive.
If you have existing IPTC data contained in your images that you would like to preserve in your JPEGs, please follow the instructions below. You can also input new or edit existing IPTC data within the Organize section of your Toolbox. Using the Toolbox is the preferred method to enter your IPTC data because it results in a smaller image file size.
To preserve IPTC data when using Photoshop to export JPEGs, follow these instructions:
- Make sure your image color mode is set to RGB and not CMYK.
Create the image in the correct image size you want, then use Adobe Photoshop's File > Save As menu item, not Save or Save for Web.
The Save As dialog window opens.
Select JPEG from the Format drop down menu, give the file a new name, choose its destination, then click the Save button.
When the JPEG Options window appears, select a Quality setting between 1 and 12 (12 being the highest quality and the least amount of compression).
Check the "Preview" box to preview your image at different compression levels. Experiment with the quality setting to get the best looking image at the smallest possible file size. At the bottom of the window, you can check the estimated file size (eg. ~102.01K). Aim for a file size of 100KB to 150KB. Smaller file sizes will result in even faster image loading on your site.
Select "Baseline Optimized" from the Format Options section and hit "OK" to save your settings and export the image.

06 May Camera trapping at IIT Tirupati
Camera trapping is useful in observing animal behaviour or accessing biodiversity of a place. This method particularly increases the chances of obtaining images and videos of rare and elusive wildlife from areas where there is little survey have been done. They let us make secret observations of nature which we can't see in our presence. The Scuirid Lab at IISER Tirupati conducted its first camera trapping experiments in the IIT Tirupati permanent campus, which is located on the slopes of the Eastern Ghats, at Merlapaka village on the Yerpedu-Venkatagiri Road, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. The campus consists of Dry Deciduous Scrub Forests and Grasslands, and includes habitat types like wetlands, fruit orchards and secondary scrub spread over 530 acres. This is the perfect habitat for many species of mammals.

We used Cuddeback Long Range IR camera traps to detect the presence of various mammals present in the campus. We categorised the campus into grids of size 250m*250m. We deployed two camera traps first and added three more. The camera traps were deployed in both scrub forest and grassland patches across different grids close to boundary walls adjoining forest for 27 days (25-03-18 to 20-04-18). Two camera traps were in the same grid due to the availability of potential camera trap locations. We tried to place these camera traps near the gaps in the boundary wall to see whether there is any animal movement across the gaps in the walls. The camera traps generated thousands of images because of the movement of leaves and grasses due to heavy wind. We obtained photographs of two mammals at night from a camera trap placed in scrub habitat. One of the cameras also triggered a bird flying during the day. The two mammals we photographed were:
● Four-horned Antelope or Chousingha (Tetracerus quadricornis): The only antelope in the world with two sets of horns. They are highly territorial, solitary or in pairs and prefer open woodland, scrub and grassland fringes.
● Indian crested Porcupine (Hystrix indica): The largest rodent in the country which comes out from underground burrows in the night. It has an array of long sharp quills running from head to tail as its defence mechanism. It is a widespread species in the rocky scrub habitats, and is reported from the Eastern Ghats. However, there seem to be no records of porcupines occurring in the Tirupati landscape, and neither the forest department list for SV National Park nor the EIA report for IIT Tirupati list this species. This photograph is possibly a first from the region!

Apart from these camera trap images of the two mammals, we sighted a few Indian Hare/Black-naped Hare (Lepus nigricollis) and saw faeces of many other mammals during the sampling period.
Our first attempt at camera trapping , though full of challenges, was rewarding as we managed to capture two cryptic species. It is great that we got a four-horned antelope, which is normally very difficult to sight!

Predicting when lightning will strike
When something is unlikely to happen, people often say that there is a greater chance of being struck by lightning. The fact is however that lightning does strike, and is one of the leading weather-related causes of death and injury.
Furthermore, important infrastructure including airports, hospitals, sports stadiums and power lines can often be affected by lighting. Electronic components are particularly vulnerable to lightning-induced transient voltages.
There is therefore a potentially huge market for accurate lightning data. National Meteorological Services (MET) in a number of Member States already provide some data, in most cases because of the incidence of forest fires. Lightning is estimated to cause up to 16% of forest fires in the EU, costing ?70 million in mitigation efforts a year.
However, this data tends to be very expensive for end users, and is often not accurate enough to make a significant difference. The EU-funded LOLIGHT (Lightning Mapping and Supercell Tracking System) project sought to address this by developing a low-cost system capable of detecting lightning to an accuracy of 100 metres.
In addition, the system can track and predict lightning events in real time, and map lightning patterns within an area of 200 km.
This project has outstanding commercial potential. The accurate and quick location of strikes can help reduce costs associated with lightning, such as forest fires. Power distribution companies also stand to benefit from this service, since they can prepare for storm-caused power outages by proactive load management plans before operations are impacted.
When power disturbances are not handled quickly, there is risk of cascading failure. When a power line goes down, the electricity that once flowed down the damaged line is forced down other paths. If those other lines are already close to full capacity, the onslaught of electricity will cause them to overload as a result of congestion, creating a domino effect that is the leading cause of massive blackouts.
The project also offers cost savings for airports and the air traffic control sector. During lightning threats, aircrafts have to re-route around the hazardous area, using up fuel and man hours. By using precise, real time monitoring, routes can be planned more accurately, benefiting both the industry and passengers.

— Each week the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) sends out an e-mail Legislative Alert, which tells subscribers about current actions they can take to help animals. NAVS is a national, not-for-profit educational organization incorporated in the State of Illinois. NAVS promotes greater compassion, respect, and justice for animals through educational programs based on respected ethical and scientific theory and supported by extensive documentation of the cruelty and waste of vivisection. You can register to receive these action alerts and more at the NAVS Web site.
This week's Take Action Thursday urges your support for a student choice bill in Maryland.
State Legislation
Next Wednesday, March 9, at 1:00 p.m. EST, the Maryland Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee will hold a public hearing on SB 901, legislation that would ensure that no student is punished for standing up for their right to choose humane dissection alternatives in the classroom.
NAVS' director of science programs, Dr. Pamela Osenkowski, will be there to testify in person in support of this much-needed legislation. But you can help by sending a letter in support of SB 901 to the office of Maryland Senator Ronald Young, the sponsor of this legislation.
Please submit a written letter in your own words for maximum impact! Important points may include:
- All students deserve an equal opportunity to receive a humane education.
- Current Maryland county school board policies do not always apply to every class or every student.
- Alternatives to dissection can provide the same or better educational experiences than dissecting a once-live animal.
- Students and teachers need to know that using alternatives instead of dissecting an animal will be guaranteed in the State of Maryland.
The senator will collect your letters and present them to members of the committee on March 9. Each letter brings us one step closer to ensuring that EVERY Maryland student can take part in humane science education.
Please send your letter to Senator Young's office by 10:00 am EST on Wednesday, March 9!
If your state does not already have a student choice law or policy, please consider asking legislators in your state to introduce student choice legislation. Visit www.navs.org/choice to learn more.
You can help raise visibility for NAVS' work on behalf of animals by posting a review of your experience with us on GreatNonprofits.org. Your positive review will help NAVS earn recognition as a 2016 Top-Rated Nonprofit. Thank you!

When you were a child, were you called in for supper or dinner? Even as interest in the term "supper" has faded, it turns out that there is actually a difference between supper and dinner. Of course, if you were called in for supper, you know this difference well, but if you were from a dinner family, it might not be so obvious. My father's family from Kentucky and Virginia both referred to it as supper, while my mother's family from Maryland referred to it as dinner. While many would be apt to say that supper is an especially Southern thing, that's simply not the case. Let's start with the basics of the big meal to tackle the dinner/supper conundrum.Share
Dinner does not imply a time of day and simply references the main meal, or the largest meal, of the day. One can eat dinner at any time, and since there is no time implied (afternoon or evening), dinner has become the modern catch-all term for the evening meal. As Dictionary.com points out, "the word 'dinner' comes from the Vulgar Latin word disjējūnāre, meaning 'to break one's fast.'" While this is most closely related to breakfast in English, the meaning of dinner still influences how we use it and it has become the most popular word for the largest meal eaten of the day.

Colorado Votes Temporary School-Finance Plan
Colorado lawmakers, after debating for several months a number of bills that would have substantially changed the school-finance system, have instead approved temporary measures to alleviate funding inequities.
A bill sent last week to Gov. Richard D. Lamm would create a $1-million equalization fund for property-poor districts and modify the per-pupil aid formula to lessen the budgetary effects of enrollment declines.
"After both House and Senate education committees junked a series of school-finance measures, the legislative leadership appointed a committee of three legislators from each body to negotiate changes in the public-school finance act," said Al Meiklejohn, chairman of the Senate education committee and a member of the new finance panel.
Increase in Expenditures
The finance committee devised a bill, HB 1430, that raises the maximum per-pupil spending increase for districts from 5.5 percent to 5.65 percent above the mandated per-pupil expenditure of the previous year. This will raise average per-pupil expenditures by $159.60 for calendar year 1985, Mr. Meiklejohn said.
The bill authorizes districts that spend less than the state average per student to increase their spending next year by $170 per student and provides $54 million for the equalization effort. The measure would raise minimum spending per pupil to $2,450, exclusive of students in categorical programs, Mr. Meiklejohn said.
Lawmakers also gave the state board of education authority to rule on appeals for additional increases in spending.
Go to the Voters
If its appeal is turned down, a district could still go to the voters for an additional levy, according to Patricia J. Burger, governmental-relations specialist for the Colorado Department of Education.
The legislature appropriated funds--some $1 million--for "problem" districts that need more money than the $170 increase, Mr. Meiklejohn said.
"There was a movement this year to make really drastic changes in the equalization law," but they were not included in the finance committee's compromise, Ms. Burger said.
One bill, for example, would have earmarked state sales-tax revenues for support of K-12 districts. (See Education Week, March 14, 1984.) Currently, the state sales tax goes into the general fund and then is distributed to all state programs.
The matter of completely overhauling the school-finance system will probably be considered next year or in the near future, Ms. Burger said.
Cap on Equalization
According to Mr. Meiklejohn, "there was real concern in the General Assembly about the way equalization spending is increasing."
The state appropriated $200 million for the equalization program in 1972; this year, funding was set at $720 million.
To stop the cost escalation, the leg-islature voted to place a cap on equalization appropriations for fiscal 1985-86 and thereafter.
Under the plan, equalization funds may not increase by more than either 7 percent of the state appropriation in 1984-85 or the percentage that state revenues increase, whichever is less. Currently, state revenues are up 10.2 percent, Mr. Meiklejohn said.
Declining Enrollments
Declining enrollments have posed a substantial problem in the state, according to the state official. "Even with the increasing population, the number of kids in grades K-12 is declining," he said.
In the past, the state funding formula helped districts adjust for declining enrollments, allowing them to use the average of the past three years or the highest count of the immediately preceding two years when determining funding levels, according to Mr. Meiklejohn.
Under the new formula, the enrollment averaging will cover a five-year period--excluding 1981, in which attendance-counting procedures were changed--or the highest enrollment of the past two years, Mr. Meiklejohn said.

Mercury Oil Makes My Mercury Motor Run Perfectly
After buying a brand new motor to use on my boat this summer, I have been working on finding the right kind of oil to use in the boat. The motor that I purchased is a wonderful Mercury brand motor that is something special. I would like to be able to keep this motor in the best possible condition so that I can enjoy using this motor for years to come.
To make sure I can keep my boat motor running wonderfully, I must have the right kind of oil to use to lubricate the motor consistently. I have read a lot about motors like the one that I have and it seems that the best way to ensure that a motor like this continues running well is to use Mercury oil in the motor. This kind of oil is made for these motors so it is the best thing for them.
By using this kind of oil, I'll be able to maximize my efficiency and spend a good amount of time out in my boat enjoying the way that the boat works. It is going to be wonderful having a motor that will power my boat around all the time. Having a motor that I can finally rely on is something that I am bound to enjoy.

While not necessarily the primary focus of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, the issue of whether or not bad people are capable of love or becoming friends is one that is discussed, sometimes directly and other times more indirectly. This is an important issue because the layman does not generally consider the reality of relationships in ways that philosophers tend to do. Our general representation of what it means to be a "friend" is often very simplistic. This may in part be do to the advance in technology and social networking sites, which allow us to "add friends" in an almost whimsical fashion; and as such many of us can find that we are "friends" with people who we are only acquainted with or have very limited interest in knowing further. The ancient Greeks examined the nature of love, friendships, and relationships in general in ways much different than our own.
To accurately detail how Aristotle would answer the question "are bad people capable of love/friendship?" is rather difficult, in part because the terminology he often uses leaves much to be desired if one is to objectively analyze his words. For example, throughout Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle references "the good" as what we should all strive for. This term can be viewed as somewhat ambiguous due to the subjective nature of what one would deem to be "good." On page 217, Aristotle states, "Which good, then, is it that men love? Is it the good (in general) or is it what is good for them? There is sometimes a discrepancy between these two, and a discrepancy also in the case of what is pleasant." As is evident, "goodness" has different natures (personal and impersonal), and the personal good can be broken down into sub-categories (such as different desires, different representations of what is pleasant or useful). Even more basic philosophical questions such as "What is the good?" arise and make answering the question of the capacity for bad people to love/become friends difficult.
With that said, Aristotle would suggest that bad people are capable of friendship; however not in the purest sense. He states that there are three types of friendships, all categorized separately because of the motivation of the individual(s) pursuing the friendship. These include friendships based on utility or usefulness, friendships based on pleasure, and the superior form of friendship that pursues good. As is evident, the nature of the relationship is most important when answering whether or not a bad person is capable of friendship. The most vital quote which can be used to summate Aristotle's stance on bad people and friendships comes on pages 221-222 where he states, "To be friends with one another on the basis of pleasure and usefulness is, accordingly, also possible for bad people, just as it is for good men with bad, and for one who is neither good nor bad with any kind of person at all. But it is clear that good men alone can be friends on the basis of what they are, for bad people do not find joy in one another, unless they see some material advantage coming to them." While Aristotle provides a sense of clarity on the topic of bad people and their capacity to form friendships, the ultimate problem is found in his lack of definition of what constitutes a "bad" person. Again, we must return to the ambiguity and poorly defined term "the good."
The ambiguity of the terms "good" and "bad" undoubtedly cause Aristotle's discourse on friendship and love to be relatively moot points. While in the ancient Greek society I am sure Aristotle's notions would be much more interested and acceptable, in our current time his writings are almost unbearable unless we provide operational definitions to these terms, which are undeniable key to understanding his writings. In many respects, Aristotle seems to have created a dualism between "good" and "bad" people; yet leaves very little room for morally ambiguous individuals to exist. For example, one can consider the basic moral dilemma that faces a man who must either watch his wife die from an illness or steal medication to save her because he does not have enough money for the treatment. This is a morally ambiguous issue, and as such there is no clear answer as to what is right ("the good") or wrong ("bad") in this scenario. To play devil's advocate, one can consider his action (whichever he performs) as "bad"; which would necessarily imply that he incapable of friendship based on "the good." The major problem I have with Aristotle's notion of friendship stems from this, as it demeans this man's ambiguous situation and merely calls him "bad"; which by extension means he is incapable of true friendship or true love with his wife. If we consider that that morally bad decision is the one in which he steals medication to allow his wife to survive, then I am not sure we could say this man falls into any Aristotelian definition of "friendship." It would appear that his relationship with this woman is not currently one built on usefulness or pleasure, as it should be if he was a truly bad person. While some useful quality (she makes food at home) or pleasure (sexual relations) may exist in this relationship, these are not the basis of this man's actions. We would then be tempted to say that his action (of stealing the medication) is one that is "good" and by extension say he is a good friend. However, that would also be inaccurate as theft is deemed to be a bad quality. It would then appear that this man is beyond the reach of any of Aristotle's three friendship forms, in many ways because it is difficult to define what the right and wrong actions are. In short, what truly defines a bad person?
As is evident, I do not agree with Aristotle's view on the ability for bad people to love and form friendships. While Aristotle and I would agree that these people can have relationships, I feel that categorizing those relationships is not very useful because the moral questions regarding what a good or bad person continues to go unanswered to this day. Additionally, Aristotle's notions of the good and the bad seem to more often than not be metaphysical notions; and to apply metaphysics to human nature, relationships, and other topics seems in many ways to also be a moot point. We cannot be certain that a metaphysical concept of "the good" does exist as a form outside of our material world, and to apply it to our own analysis of human relationships without certainty that it does exist seems very irrational. Even an a priori notion of the good is lacking because it requires us to assume that the good really does exist in some infinite, eternal, and resolute sense. Though we may be able to define individual situations as good or bad, I do not believe we can clump behaviors, thoughts, and so on under one heading ("the good") or another ("the bad"). Morality is much more complex, and by extension our resulting behaviors, relationships, ability to love, and so on are also complex.
In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle essentially streamlines the nature of friendship. On the whole, he oversimplifies the nature of love and friendship. On the surface I can agree with a few of his notions, as previously discussed, but in a broader sense his writings are not very useful when we examine the complexity of human actions. I do not believe that reality is nearly as black and white as Aristotle seems to make it out to be.

Ahead of her Late Show appearance, Dakota Johnson asked Stephen Colbert if she could drink during her interview with him and he obliged. He brought out Johnson's drink of choice and the two took shots of tequila throughout their chat. Johnson and Colbert exchanged stories about the Met Gala, with the actress talking about what she would have done differently had she planned the fashionable soiree. "You should plan it next year," said Colbert. "You should email Anna [Wintour] about it," she replied The Fifty Shades actress talked about going to the bathroom and returning to find her lamb chop was gone, while Colbert spoke about a woman smoking a cigarette in the men's room. "You don't want to go to the bathroom next to a woman holding something burning," he joked. The duo started to feel the effects of the alcohol as the interview went on and Johnson couldn't contain her snort-filled laughter. They also spoke about Johnson's new movie A Bigger Splash with Tilda Swinton.

MEN The Darker Continent - Heather Formaini
This book is a described by Sunday Times as "An angry book that pulls no punches" - I found it a compelling read and although it seems to denigrate the male species - I feel it is a classic case of 'the truth hurting'. Although written and published back in 1990 - it is amazing how relevant this text is in today's world.

With no disrespect intended to the fine young cast of Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat," onstage at Orlando Repertory Theatre, the stars of this show are the strikingly stylized set and, of course, the good doctor's words.
The mischievous Cat in the Hat, beloved to young readers since his debut in 1957, hopes for "good fun that is funny" in this 40-minute show aimed at the age range that appreciates his book. (If you want to count yourself in that age range, as I do, then that's fine.)
The good news is this boisterous little show, adapted by Katie Mitchell for the National Theatre of Great Britain, is both fun and funny.
Director Gary Cadwallader keeps his cast on the move: The Boy (Nick Rishel) and his sister, Sally (Lyndsey Wilkerson) dart after flying kites, the Cat (Sage Starkey) balances on a ball while holding a cake, a ship and assorted other items, Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Jasmine Forsberg, Alexa Wengrofsky) screech and tumble. It's merry mayhem overseen by the children's disgruntled Fish (Wesley Slade).
Kids love it, in part thanks to the cacophony of surprise noises by sound coordinator Anthony Narciso. Balls honk, umbrellas sound like flutes and a tennis racket becomes a banjo.
Adults can appreciate the striking set by scenic designer Stephen Ricker and costumes by Marty Singhaus that with their deep black, bright red and shocking blue palate look straight from the pages of the book.
You'll leave pondering that immortal question, known to every child who ever tried to hide a guilty secret: "Well, what would you do if your mother asked you?"

Learning through service is a year-round occurrence in Lakota classrooms. But during the holiday season, it takes a front row seat in many of our schools.
At Adena Elementary, a recent recycling unit in Melissa Doll's and Tonya Dull's fifth grade science classes gave way to a unique hands-on service learning project. The entire fifth grade launched a school-wide campaign to fill their classrooms with recyclable plastic bags. Organizing themselves in assembly line fashion, it took just one afternoon to transform the mound of bags into 10 "plyarn" balls that they donated to a local church. The balls will be weaved into eight waterproof mats and gifted to local homeless people giving them a more comfortable place to sleep.
"It helps someone and to know that it makes someone else happy makes me happy," reflected Sofia Chiaramont.
For students like Alexa Silvas, the project gave her a new appreciation for simple necessities like a house and food that she sometimes takes for granted. Tegan Thiery appreciated the added benefit of open conversation with classmates he doesn't always interact with. "When we get these breaks for a whole entire period, we get to know each other a lot better and learn things about each other that we didn't even know," he said.
Lakota East Freshman students in Amy Mahaffey's language arts class had the opportunity to give back by volunteering at a local non-profit of their choice. It was part of a project based learning experience in which they ultimately shared with their classmates what they learned about not only the organization, but also themselves.
Over at Cherokee Elementary, students took the lead on two other service projects. A passion for origami inspired two sixth-graders, Brianna Dickson and Ishanvi Karthikeyan, to rally behind a common cause - and bring their classmates along with them.
After reading a newspaper article in social studies class about overcrowded homeless shelters, they decided to turn a profit with their origami creations and donate all their proceeds to a local homeless shelter. Given that they've named their growing group "Save the World Club," it comes as no surprise that they've set big goals for their sales at the school's Cheetah Fest this spring.
"I just realized how hard it would be to be in the cold and have nothing," said Brianna, who is also inspired by a great aunt struggling with homelessness. "We want to do our part to help expand local shelters so that they can bring more people in and then help provide them with the comforts of home."
Another goal is to teach more of their classmates how to do origami, in hopes that it will help others discover a passion like they did. "Both Brianna and Ishanvi are leaders in the Cheetah community. They really are ready to tackle the world and help other people and I could not be more proud of them," said Cherokee Principal Valerie Montgomery.
Seven other Cherokee students, largely led by fourth-graders Amira Scherzinger and Evelynn Roesel, put their entrepreneurial idea into action, selling homemade stress balls, slime and glitter globes. In the end, they raised enough money to claim three tags on their school's giving tree. "There are people who need more than we need," said Evelynn of the necessities they purchased for three of their classmates.
The Lakota West girls basketball team used their Thanksgiving break to shop for a family they adopted through Reach Out Lakota, while Lakota East High School is leveraging the East vs. West basketball games for a "Toys for Tots" collection.
"This isn't a competition between East and West but rather a way to support the WE are Lakota motto and give back to the community," said East senior Grace Silverberg. "We hope in the spirit of giving back, you support us in this mission to help the children in our county that need us." View the Toys for Tots flyer for more details about this giving opportunity.
All throughout Lakota, the examples of student generosity are plentiful. See even more ways the Lakota community is giving back this season by searching #LakotaGivesBack on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

The cost of owning a car is not determined by the car's initial price only. Other factors play into the total cost such as insurance and maintenance costs. This article identifies the value of owning a car while considering the top 5 favorite vehicle models in Kenya.
Toyota Avensis is quite popular among Kenyan motorists. The car is used by both the young working adults and the older population. A brand new Toyota Avensis market value is KShs922, 500. The car insurance costs around KShs31, 332. This car uses fuel totaling around KShs86, 400.
Toyota Noah is the second most popular car in Kenya. Its market value for a brand new cargo at KShs1, 141,500. Most insurance companies charge around KShs38, 756 for an insurance cover. On average, the Toyota Noah consumes fuel worth KShs94, 840.
Toyota Wingroad model falls at number three in popularity. A brand new Toyota Wingroad goes for KShs1, 124,920 in the Kenyan market. Its Insurance cover is usually charged around KShs38, 180. This car consumes fuel totaling to KShs62, 400.
Toyota Alphard is a preference for the majority. The young working class mostly uses it. A brand new Toyota Alphard goes for KShs1, 246,340. Most insurance companies charge its insurance cover at KShs32, 316. This car is a fuel guzzler with the high total cost of consumption at KShs98, 440.
Passat from Volkswagen ranks at 5th in popularity among Kenyans. A new Passat is valued at KShs1, 600,000 in the Kenyan market. Insurance companies charge around KShs54, 283 for its insurance cover. Passat consumes fuel that costs around KShs74, 400.
The mentioned vehicle values are based on their Kenyan market values in 2010. The insurance cost of vehicles in Kenya may vary as two factors determine it. These are; the type of car (model, make and year of manufacture), and its user profile (age, gender, marital status, number of children and driving experience). Three parameters determine the fuel cost: the average distance covered (1200kms/year); the average price of petrol (KSH100/Liter); and mileage of the vehicle.

Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal) is best known for being the man who has completed 14 Grand Tours in a row, and is presently riding his 15th at the 2016 Tour de France.
It's a great feat and an accolade any WorldTour team would want to be associated with, but as this video shows Hansen does more than just turn up.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
He's often active in breakaways and counts stage wins in the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España in his palmarès, but a lot of the time he works for his teammates and for the success of the team as a whole.
Here we can see him coming alongside the team car on bottle duty. His DS passes him bottle after bottle in quick succession, each of which he grabs and stows away without trouble. In well under a minute he's laden with 11 bottles, ready to deliver to his teammates.
At the Tour de France, Lotto-Soudal's main focus is on stage wins with André Greipel and Hansen slots into his lead out train and an essential engine.
So far, the German has not had the kind of success he found at the 2015 Tour but there are a number of stages left that could go Greipel's way.

Culturally Speaking
ART TIMES Spring 2013Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 7:00 am By: Cornelia Seckel Source: arttimesjournal.com
I had the great pleasure to see in the Heights at the Westchester Broadway Theatre and it was quite a momentous evening. There was a tribute to Lin-Manuel Miranda who conceived of the play (when he was just 19) and wrote the music and lyrics. Many of the Broadway cast members as well as Lin-Manuel were at the opening night celebration with several of the original cast members in the WBT production. Miranda spoke with the audience before the show and said how excited he was that his play (winner of 2008 Tony Award Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations and the Grammy for Best Musical Show Album) is now available to be performed off Broadway. In the Heights is a story of a neighborhood, the people who live and work there their loves, frustrations, heartaches and the influences of the world outside the neighborhood. The music was fabulous: from ballads to rap; the dance ranging from ballet to break dancing. This show will surely be done by thousands of schools and community groups especially as there are so many opportunities for solo performances. The audience, a mixture of age groups had great energy cheering and whistling after duets and solos. The excitement was palpable at the curtain. What highly talented cast, excellent dancers, actors, fabulous voices and a great story line that resonates beyond the hood. The book was written by Quiara Alegria Hudes, original choreography reproduced by Morgan Marcell and John Fanelli was the Director/ Producer. Standing Ovation Studios is the Producer.

Width of labels containing html
When I add a JLabel to a Box its (preferred?) width is larger than I want when I have set the label's contents to a piece of html. Subsequent labels are pushed over to the right.
In the following the north box illustrates the layout I want and the south box illustrates what I get.
Java Code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.Box; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.SwingUtilities; import javax.swing.UIManager; public class BoxEg extends JFrame { public BoxEg(String title) { super(title); Box box = Box.createHorizontalBox(); box.add(new JLabel("H")); box.add(new JLabel("7")); box.add(new JLabel("6")); add(box, BorderLayout.NORTH); box = Box.createHorizontalBox(); box.add(new JLabel("<html>♥")); //JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>♥"); //label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, 30)); //box.add(label); box.add(new JLabel("7")); box.add(new JLabel("6")); add(box, BorderLayout.SOUTH); } public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { BoxEg test = new BoxEg("BoxEg"); test.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); test.pack(); test.setLocationRelativeTo(null); test.setVisible(true); } }); } }
Things are no better if I set the label's preferred width explicitly, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

A Box respects the minimum/maximum size of a component when possible. So components shrink/grow depending on the space available.
It looks like when using HTML the maximum width is set to Integer.MAX so it grows to take all the available space.
Java Code:
JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>♥"); label.setMaximumSize( label.getPreferredSize() );

Thank you very much!
I was taken in by the BoxLayout API docs: "BoxLayout attempts to arrange components at their preferred widths (for horizontal layout)" with no mention of the maximum. (and I assumed "preferred" would mean ... preferred.) I should have guessed what was up when I saw what happened when you added another such label.
Anyway, for anyone else who happens on this, Oracle's Tutorial is crystal clear about what happens "When a BoxLayout lays out components from top to bottom, it tries to size each component at the component's preferred height. If the vertical space of the layout does not match the sum of the preferred heights, then BoxLayout tries to resize the components to fill the space. The components either grow or shrink to fill the space, with BoxLayout honoring the minimum and maximum sizes of each of the components. Any extra space appears at the bottom of the container." I should have read it I guess...
Thanks again.

With much of the country being hitwith heavy showers over the last few days growers are being urged to bevigilant for Phoma. Thats theadvice of ADAS plant pathologist Dr Faye Ritchie.
She cautions that even with the firstfew weeks of September being mainly dry it wont have slowed spore production.At Boxworth, Cambridgeshire we had fifteen days with rainfall in August alone.Like many parts of the country further wet weather in the last week has meantweve now had over 20 days with rain since 1st August, with furtherrainfall expected this is likely to encourage spore release. We could see Phoma leaf spotting in oilseed rapecrops within the next 2 to 3 weeks if this continues, although this will dependon variety and geographical location.
She points out that smaller, laterdrilled crops are more at risk from Phomaas the distance for the disease to travel from infected leaves down the petioleto the stem is shorter. However, growers should start to assess the threat bychecking more established plants first. Leaf spotting is often more visible onearlier sown crops due to their larger leaf area. However, their longerpetioles often prevent or delay all-important stem infection and these cropstend to be less at risk, notes Dr Ritchie.
Dr Neal Evans from WIN agrees andsays that the date when thresholds are reached could vary considerably.Theres no doubt that the dry spell will delay thresholds being reached aftera pretty wet August. However, many eastern areas have been hampered by seafrets since. With near 100% humidity, stubbles will have remained wet a keyfactor in spore production, he cautions.
He too is worried by the risk tosmaller plants and believes the cabbage stem flea beetle issue hasnt helped.Theres no doubt that this seasons beetle problem has slowed cropdevelopment. It is likely to increase the risk of infected stems, he warns.
But Phoma isnt their only concern. Following last seasonsexceptional Light Leaf Spot pressure Dr Ritchie points out it will form thebedrock for infection this season. Weve now seen an increase in Light LeafSpot in oilseed rape crops over the past six years, with the disease affectingcrops in the south as well as the north. Light Leaf Spot spores also originatefrom stubbles and crop debris with spores released in the autumn. OSR beinggrown in close proximity to last years crops are likely to be at higher risk.And with many crops sown in good time this year, they are likely to be exposedto the disease, she notes.
Bayer CropSciencesTim Nicholsonreminds growers that few actives are effective against both diseases. LightLeaf Spot has been spread south through the intensity of rape, recentfavourable weather conditions and the lack of varietal resistance. It has alsobeen given a helping hand by the fact that autumn disease control has beentypically focused on Phoma.
If we are to manage Light Leaf Spotmore effectively then it is vital that Phomasprays also provide effective protection against Light Leaf Spot as well.Despite the arrival of new modes of action, prothioconazole remains thestandard against both diseases and with a half rate of Proline275(Prothioconazole) to target Phoma typicallycosting 14/ha its the most economic option to start an autumn disease controlprogramme for the two diseases, he stresses.
Dr Evans also feels growers shouldconsider split treatments. With more resistant varieties weve slowly beengetting on top of Phoma,however the opposite is true with Light Leaf Spot. Here the lack of varietalresistance in conjunction with fungicide applications targeting Phoma has allowed the disease tospread. A single azole application may manage a Phoma threat, especially in a dry autumn, but it is often tooearly to protect against Light Leaf Spot.
A second pass does place morepressure on farm resources but the second application typically is more suitedto Light Leaf Spot. As Light Leaf Spot is now probably the greatest threat formost, if not all OSR crops, then split treatments are a sensible precaution,he concludes.

I knew something was up this morning at JavaOne when I saw Java founder James Gosling schmoozing with Robert LeBlanc, IBM general manager for WebSphere. Also present was Rod Smith, vice president of emerging technologies at IBM and an advocate of open sourcing Java. Indeed, IBM extended its license to use Java technologies through 2016 and announced that all of IBM's middleware software will support Solaris 10 on AMD and Sparc platforms. The endorsement of Solaris 10 was the culmination of an effort by Sun that started in January with a public letter from Sun President and COO Jonathan Schwartz to IBM CEO Sam Palmisano. He basically threw sand in Palmisano's face for withholding Solaris 10 support from large customers.

Sun also announced the beginning stages of open sourcing its Java stack. Sun's Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 as well as the Java System Enterprise Server Bus (Java ESB) will Solaris 10 (1.7 million downloads since January, according to Sun) in the open community world. "This is one step forward as we continue to open-source all of Sun's software assets," said Schwartz. "It's good for business. It's also good for the world."
It seems that Sun is now fully committed to becoming synonymous with open source, as sharing and community development. What's 'good for the world' is using the free open source software (FOSS) model to expand the market for its software and services. Free, according to Schwartz, is the key ingredient for reaching the largest addressable market as well as bridging the digital divide.
What's good for business is getting a good share of market by having the best implementations and services associated with deploying open source software in enterprises. In a Q&A at JavaOne, McNealy said that Solaris 10 is faster, better and cheaper than Red Hat Linux. So far, Red Hat doesn't seem to be adversely impacted by open source Solaris 10. McNealy also said that "those who don't join the JBI (Java Business Integration) parade will get left behind." That depends on which parade. The choice of an integration engine, or enterprise service bus, or operating system depends on far more than rhetoric, but for McNealy it's a way to get the dialog going.
I asked LeBlanc whether IBM would open source its application server as Sun has done. He responded that there are "enough open source application servers out there." IBM isn't fanatical about open source--Linux, or Solaris 10, are practical business alternatives to dying breeds of Unix. Don't expect to see open sourcing of DB2, Rational and Tivioli anytime soon, but projects like Eclipse are reflective of how IBM in playing in the open source arena.
I also asked LeBlanc and Souheil Saliba, Sun's vice president of strategic alliances, what kind of horsetrading went into cementing the newfound relationship. They declined to offer any details, but said the negotiation around Java wasn't much different from ten years ago. It's clear that both have different philosophies around the role of open source, but IBM likes the idea of open source Java and having more input into the JCP (Java Community Process). My colleague David Berlind has long believed that IBM has always wanted to gain more 'control' over the evolution of Java from Sun. At the same time, Sun and IBM look at Microsoft (.Net) as a mutual threat to their businesses.
Sun is keeping its enemies closer with its partnerships with IBM and Microsoft, but that doesn't mean that the companies will play nice. But, with open sourcing, and especially open standards, the potential hazards of competing vendors on their customers will be less toxic...

To Earth-One and a new audience: up, up and away…!
One thing I've noticed about my appreciation of (mainstream) Comics as I get older is that the issue of continuity concerns me less and less. Fifteen or so years ago, it was a different story: it was incredibly important. I had high expectations of the stories I read connecting perfectly and not being riddled with contradictions – and those expectations were efficiently catered to via a massive effort from the big publishers to give the hugely-complex histories of their major properties an overall cohesion. Nowadays however, if I read a Batman comic, say, I'm pretty much satisfied so long as the core elements are present and correct, i.e: Bruce Wayne is Batman, Alfred and Commissioner Gordon are there, the Batcave, Batmobile, etc.
While continuity serves a good purpose in keeping massive mythologies relatively neat and tidy – and the fans very happy – the considerable downside is that it ultimately places a massive handicap on the greatest ongoing challenge in Comics publishing: attracting new readers. Despite the best intentions of publishers, "jumping on points" for new readers are somewhat Quixotic, because to really get it, you still have to negotiate decades of continuity which, in the case of something like Marvel's X-Men franchise, is utterly daunting even for the most eager newcomer.
In an effort to combat this longtime conundrum, DC Comics have created a new imprint of original graphic novels entitled DC: Earth One.The hook is that the series will reintroduce DC characters to new readers, wholly unburdened by decades of continuity, in stories focused on their first years and earliest moments set in a new continuity on a new Earth. Suitably enough, DC start with their first and biggest superhero in an re-versioned origin story penned by J.M Straczynski (Babylon 5, Spider-Man) and drawn by Shane Davis (Superman/Batman: The Search For Kryptonite). Were you to judge the inaugural Superman: Earth One, by its cover – depicting a young and rather intense-looking Clark Kent (a clear nod to the Twilight audience, one imagines) replete with an emo-ish hairstyle and clad in a hooded top, exposing the Superman chest emblem in an almost threatening manner – you might well fear the worst… as a long-time fan. As a new reader who probably knows Superman as an ultra-clean cut character, it'd certainly pique the old curiosity – and judging by the vast amount of mainstream news coverage this book recently received in the U.S, that goes for a lot of other people too.
However, the truth is that this is not The Angry Adventures of Emo-Superman. Straczynski is a smart writer who clearly knows that – especially with Superman – there's a very fine line between updates that keep the character fresh and interesting for new generations and changes that damage the magic. After all, there's a reason that the character has endured very little change in his 72 years of existence. (You could argue, of course, that Straczynski is somewhat aided in his quest by the fact that, over the last decade, the soon-to-end Smallville TV series, surely with a wider audience than the comics, has placed a surfeit of pretty radical kinks in the established Superman mythology and it's been just fine.) In Superman: Earth One,Straczynski does an admirable job of toeing that fine line while imbuing the character's origin with more edge – though not gratuitously so – and, crucially, making it more humanistic and identifiable.
As such, Straczynski's Clark Kent is an aimless and quietly-frustrated 21-year old burdened with The Big Question: what do I do with my life? He's been blessed with superhuman abilities, abilities that can easily bag him a hugely-paid job that will set him up for life and ensure his widowed mother is fully taken care of – or there's the selfless option B: put on the flamboyant costume that his mother made and use those powers for the good of Mankind, meaning that he will instantly and permanently sacrifice any semblance of a normal life. It's an effective bit of grounding on Straczynski's part: who wouldn't consider the selfish benefits of such fantastic powers? Yet, what makes it even better is that Martha Kent, in classical maternal fashion, is playing the long-game with quiet, knowing confidence: she knows what her boy will do, but it has to be his choice. And the edginess promised by the cover? Well, it's not as pervasive as you might think, in fact just a one page sequence where Clark, confronted by a mugger in Metropolis, gives him a harsh top-up tan.
We see further interesting kinks when Clark ultimately follows up his existing interest in Journalism and applies for a job at The Daily Planet, a once-great newspaper now struggling in the face of online news (both professional and amateur), headed by gruff old-school newsman Perry White. Surprisingly, Lois Lane is very much a peripheral character – she's clearly being saved for the next volume – an impatient rookie reporter with self-confidence constantly hovering on arrogance and Jimmy Olsen is now either very close to or the same age as Clark, cheerful as ever, but here with the gung-ho bearing of a war photographer. There's a hint of Peter Parker in the manner of how Clark finally gets a job at The Planet.
Straczynski's best reimagining, which fuels the action-packed third act where an alien armada lands on Earth forcing Clark to make his fateful choice about his future, [SPOILERS!] is that Krypton was not the victim of a natural cosmic disaster, but rather a planetary assassination, committed by a neighbouring (and comparatively under-resourced) planet in Krypton's galaxy, aided by an unknown agency. The rival planet's plan was to eradicate all of Krypton, so the loose end of one survivor means that Clark has been a marked man since the day he was born and his discovery of his alien heritage leads his pursuers straight to him, endangering all of Earth. It's a great twist: will Superman's benevolent mission possess a heavy of tint of vengeance now it's clear that his parents and his homeworld were murdered…?
A moment that I particularly liked comes via a flashback when Clark, surveying the suit, asks why there's an "S" on the chest. Martha tells Clark that it was a source of disagreement between her and her late husband: she wanted it to stand for "SON" – of his alien home, of Earth and of her – while Jonathan ruled it out as "too vague, too fuzzy, too cute". He says: "My cousin was in advertising and he said you should pick a symbol, to get across one clear idea. That's all the public has patience for. You're not just different from every other man, Clark, you're more powerful than any other man in history. You're unique to all the world. Extraordinary. Not just a man – and more than just a man. A super-man. "Superman". I always liked the concept of the "S" symbol being a family crest (Superman: The Movie) or a wider cultural insignia (Superman: Birthright), but Straczynski's cue, while lacking grandeur, certainly provides a nicely realistic touch – and it's absolutely true: that "S" shield does convey the notion of benevolent power.
Davis' artwork, so engaging in his Superman/Batman arc, is excellent here, equally adept at conveying emotion it does large-scale action. His subtle redesign of the Superman costume is great: nothing at all drastic, but I could quite easily see that on the big-screen and be absolutely fine with it. (And yes, Clark Kent's refined disguise at the book's climax is pointedly hipster-ish – fine.) If there's once particular criticism to make – and it's made as a long-time Superman reader – it's that Straczynski's alien invasion conceit, while suitably epic and entirely effective, is all too similar to Mark Waid's similarly origin-revamping Birthright and this may mark it as derivative in a fan's eyes. However, for a new reader who wants some cinematic -sized action and carnage, it duly delivers.
And that's the point – Superman: Earth Onehas been a massive success in the U.S and DC are unsurprisingly rushing ahead with a sequel. It's easy to see why: Straczynski has done a great job in maintaining Superman's essential grandeur and by giving equal focus to the "man", he's made the character a lot more accessible and comfortably placed him in a 21st century context. By the story's end, you have a Superman for our world – and if this is how you make your debut visit to that world, you'll be on board for the next adventure.
Superman: Earth One is published by DC Comics and available now. It will be published in the UK on 28th January 2011 by Titan Books.

Longford Town end a wonderful season on a high
Goals from David O'Sullivan and Mark Salmon saw Longford Town end a wonderful season on a high with a win away to Finn Harps on Sunday last to finish eight points clear of the runners-up Shelbourne in the final league table.
After being crowned First Division Champions the previous week, the Town were in control against a poor Finn Harps side who created very few chances - although Longford keeper Chris Bennion came to the rescue when saving a Sean McCarron penalty in the 67th minute.
A large and vocal travelling Town support created a terrific atmosphere in this meaningless end of season game at Finn Park and throughout this title winning season they have proved to be the so important 12th man,
Longford showed some changes for this game and the players that came in acquitted themselves well. Once again Pat Flynn was immense in defence, Stephen Rice showed his class in midfield while David O'Sullivan and Gary Shaw were always a threat up front.
The first real chance came in the 17th minute but O'Sullivan headed over from a Rhys Gorman free-kick. Gary Shaw then forced Harps keeper Shaun Patton into making a fine save in the 29th minute.
One minute later, a Rhys Gorman free-kick was headed home by O'Sullivan – his 21st league goal of the season. Right before the break O'Sullivan went through but shot wide.
In the 67th minute, Harps were awarded a penalty after the Town netminder Bennion brought down Pat McCann in the box but he made amends by saving McCarron's spot-kick.
In the 78th minute Bennion denied McCarron again with a fine fingertip save before Mark Salmon scored the second goal in the 82nd minute to wrap up the win. Substitute Ger Pender was unlucky in the 84th minute not to get on the scoresheet when he caught Patton off his line but his lob was tipped over the bar by the Harps keeper.
FINN HARPS: Shaun Patton; Caoimhin Bonner, Keith Cowan, Packie Mailey, Damien McNulty; Michael Funston, Josh Mailey, Pat McCann, Carel Tiofack; Sean McCarron, Kevin McHugh.
Subs:- Ciaran Coll for Tiofack (56 mins); Jordan Loftus for McHugh (64 mins), Tommy McMonagle for Funston (80 mins).
LONGFORD TOWN: Chris Bennion; Noel Haverty, Pat Sullivan, Pat Flynn, Tom Morris; Conor O'Brien, Rhys Gorman, Stephen Rice, Peter Hynes; David O'Sullivan, Gary Shaw.
Subs:- Mark Salmon for O'Brien (59 mins); Ger Pender for O'Sullivan (65 mins); Etanda Nkololo for Hynes (78 mins).
Referee: Eoghan O'Shea (Tipperary).

Silver gilt vinaigrette in the form of a harp, stem and sides enamelled with blue and floral and pastoral decoration, with perforated inner cover, probably French, probably 18th century
Vinaigrettes were small, often ornamental containers filled with vinegar. If a person was about to faint, the sharp smell of the vinegar would shock the body into action. They could also carry sweet smelling substances and be used as pomanders. They were carried by both men and women. This ornate gilt silver example is enamelled with a floral and rural scene, showing a couple courting in a garden. The lid is hinged to allow the container to be filled.

The NYPD is searching for a man suspected of committing a homicide last year then going into hiding before re-emerging last week to steal a Playstation in a daylight robbery and shooting.
Ruben "Chullo" Pizzaro, 23, was originally wanted by police in connection to a homicide on Nov. 24, but authorities are now refocusing their effort to find him after he is alleged to have committed a daytime New Year's Eve robbery and shooting in Inwood. The incidents are unrelated except for Pizzaro's suspected involvement in both, the NYPD said.
RELATED:Four shot and two stabbed in violent Christmas Eve
Regarding last November's homicide, Pizzaro argued with David Rivera, 24, in the Tremont neighborhood in the Bronx, the police said. The argument escalated and ended with Pizzaro allegedly shooting Rivera four times as he tried to run from Pizzaro.
David was pronounced dead at St. Barnabas in the Bronx, and Pizzaro went into hiding after the shooting.
This past New Year's Eve, Pizzaro, armed with a gun, is alleged to have carjacked a Ford van on Sherman Street in Inwood. He demanded that the driver take him to Elwood Street, where he confiscated the driver's ID, jacket and debit card, according to police.
Pizzaro got out of the van, telling the driver to wait for him. He then robbed a bystander on Elwood Street, taking a backpack, which contained a Playstation4, before shooting the victim in the shoulder.
Pizzaro returned to the van and commanded the driver to take him to the Bronx, where he fled from the van, leaving the driver unharmed, police added.
The victim of the shooting was taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
Anyone with information on Pizzaro should call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.

Two changes on Tipperary team to face Cork in u-21 football final
Tipperary take on Cork in the Munster u-21 football final in Semple Stadium this Wednesday evening with two changes in personnel from the semi-final.
Darragh Kearney returns from illness to slot in at full-back and in the reshuffle, forward Liam Treacy loses out.
The shock news to emerge over the weekend, however, is that goalkeeper Evan Comerford is no longer a member of Power's squad.
Comerford, a Clonmel Commercials player, is replaced between the sticks by Gearoid Slattery of Cashel King Cormacs.
Power confirmed: "Evan Comerford is not on the panel any more. I've spoken to my other two selectors and we've decided that we're not going to make any further comment on the matter."
It is understood that a clash between Comerford's soccer and Gaelic Football commitments are at the heart of the matter. Comerford, who won an All-Ireland minor medal in 2011, plays soccer with Clonmel Town.
Meanwhile, full-forward Michael Quinlivan has been named to start, despite limping out of the Tipp's senior defeat against Offaly in Tullamore last Sunday.
It was initially feared that Quinlivan, another 2011 All-Ireland minor medallist, had suffered serious knee damage.
But Power revealed: "He's a lot better and we're confident that he'll be starting.
"Michael has suffered no structural damage to his knee."
Rockwell Rovers player TJ Ryan has also returned to full fitness to boost Power's options. And Moyle Rovers Philip Quirke, who was named to start in the semi-final win over Clare, is also moving well, according to Power.
The Tipp team is - Gearoid Slattery (Cashel King Cormacs); Niall O'Sullivan (Moycarkey-Borris), Darragh Kearney (Clonmel Og), Conor O'Sullivan (Galtee Rovers); Niall O'Meara (Kilruane MacDonaghs), Seamus Kennedy (Clonmel Commercials), Paddy Dalton (Arravale Rovers); Steven O'Brien (Ballina), Dylan Fitzell (Cashel King Cormacs); Bill Maher (Kilsheelan-Kilcash), Ian Fahey (Clonmel Commercials), Donagh Leahy (Arravale Rovers); Liam McGrath (Loughmore-Castleiney), Michael Quinlivan (Clonmel Commercials), Shane Leahy (Arravale Rovers).

The Knesset Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria toured Rachel's Tomb bordering Bethlehem on Thursday, in advance of the yahrzeit memorial of biblical Matriarch Rachel on Cheshvan 11, which begins next Monday evening and ends at sundown on Tuesday.
MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said at the end of the tour that he had discovered that the security establishment's plans for the day are not suited at all for protecting the masses of people expected to attend the Tomb Monday night and Tuesday.
The subcommittee is part of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. The visit was initiated by MKs Yisrael Eichler and Uri Makleb (UTJ), who participated alongside Subcommittee Chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin and MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud), MK Gideon Ezra (Kadima), and MKs Michael Ben Ari and Eldad (NU).
Rachel's Tomb is on the road between southern Jerusalem and the Gush Etzion city of Efrata. High concrete walls, gates and soldiers protect drivers on the turnoff from the Jerusalem-Gush Etzion-Hevron road that leads right into the tombsite, an enclave controlled by Israel and once set in an open field. Bethlehem, adjacent to the tomb, is in PA hands.
The site is visited especially by women, who identify with Rachel's difficult life - her sister's marriage to her beloved Jacob, her subsequent infertility when they do marry, and her death in childbirth - and feel that she listens to their prayers and understands their troubles.
