September 09, 2019
Summer is drawing to a close and chillier days may be on the horizon but the weather has never dampened our desire to get outdoors.The votes are in and our Head Office team want to share their top 10 recommended exploits. Wherever your weekend takes you, September's forecast is showing the promise of autumn adventures, rain or shine.
Happy Campers
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday and get off the grid with Glamping the Wight Way. Pictured in our latest brochure, we loved these canvas lodges in the Isle of Wight. Start your day slowly by curling up in a swinging chair on the porch with a cup of tea and picturesque countryside views. Get out and explore during the day then in the evening keep cosy and toast marshmallows by the fire and enjoying views of the clear night sky. It's the perfect recipe for happy campers.
Dog Days
Utter the word 'walkies' and tails start wagging; our four legged friends know how to show enthusiasm for a change of scenery. Treat yourself and your dog to a great day out and raise money for a good cause in the process with a Charity Dog Walk by Cancer Research.
Coastal Escape
To us an autumnal coastal escape means choppy seas, the smell of salt and vinegar, and a portion of fish an chips warming our laps, before heading inside to the arcades for some old fashioned seaside fun. Rain or shine, we love to be by the seaside and think it's never too chilly for an ice cream.
Get back to nature with a foraging day. September is the perfect time for picking sloe berries if you fancy making your own sloe gin, or if you fancy making a jam or crumble, raspberries will also be ripe. For beginners, we'd recommend taking a course so you know what to look out for and to make sure you forage responsibly. It's a way to have some outdoor fun and you'll definitely appreciate the convenience of just being able to nip to the shops!
Westonbirt Arboretum is more than just your average botanical garden. As well as being surrounded by natural beauty, this dog friendly day out offers both running and walking routes as well as a fun play area, perfect for little adventurers. We'd recommend the STIHL Treetop Walkway that takes you up to the tree tops for a new kind of woodland walk. This walkway is also fully accessible for wheelchairs, prams, and mobility scooters.
Wild Swimming
Wild swimming is all about leaving the wetsuit at home and enjoying an invigorating dip in a river, lake, or the sea. You may be thinking it will be too chilly in September but the cold offers great health benefits and gives people a happy buzz of endorphins. Just don your swimming costume - or for the more wild of you nothing at all - and take a refreshing dip!
Sounds like something you'll love? Check Wild Swimming expert's beginners guide.
Seas the Day
Seas the day with a boat trip out to Lundy Island. Enjoy a 2 hour boat ride out to the island - if you're lucky and the weather is nice you may be accompanied by a friendly pod of dolphins! Enjoy the sea breeze and when you dock you can explore the small Island that boasts listed buildings and a backdrop of rugged natural beauty. Why wait for the weekend?
Like a Fish on a Bicycle
Experience the countryside flying past you as you cycle through greenery. Pack a picnic and stop and enjoy lunch in a secluded area, perhaps on a riverbank or explore a small hideaway town and enjoy a nice - well earnt - cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. On their trip to the Isle of Wight we rented bikes and explored the seaside before enjoying a hefty portion of guilt free chips!
Pub Walks
At Weird Fish, we believe in 'incensentivised walking' meaning taking a nice country walking route and making sure you have some great local water holes at pit stops along the way! Spend an afternoon ambling across the hills and stop off to recoup with a couple of beers and a ploughmans, the perfect laidback autumn adventure.
A Beach Day with a Twist
We love a day by the coast but this September is the perfect time to team up with the Marine Conservation Society for their 25th annual Great British beach clean so roll up your sleeves and keep our beaches beautiful. Taking place from the 14th - 17th September you can see if there is a local beach clean up near you or organise your own!
Inflatable Fun
A 5k run just became a lot more fun! Did you ever watch those TV shows with the obstacle challenges and think, 'pfft, I could do that!' while stuffing a handful of crisps into your hand and taking another swig of beer? It's time to see what you can do. The Inflatable 5K offers offers the challenge of 28 fun obstacles to overcome and is perfect for both adults and children.
Wherever the weekend takes you this Autumn we hope that your adventures offer you that well needed escape from the daily grind. Our latest catch is online and instores now so browse and wear the weekend

The final four MasterChef contestants each have 90 minutes to cook one of Australia's best chef's signature dishes, and only 15 minutes with their chef so they need to make the most of it.
It all comes down to this. The MasterChef finale. The final three are hoping they have saved their best for last, as they step into the MasterChef kitchen for the last time.

wednesday afternoon
so the song that was just on was the scientist (yes, coldplay), & it ushered me into a moment that was utterly perfect - coffee, martha, looking out the wreath-flanked window to the cold(ish) outdoors with what may be the most perfect song ever. it was a great moment - i actually forgot about all that laundry, my sicko-dirty floors, & the order i need to finish up (sorry, hannah!). hmmmm. those are divine moments!
so back to pandora.com - seriously check it out if you're slightly old like me & haven't been there yet! i recommend a "quick mix" of the scientist, hillsong united, ingrid michaelson, & coldplay (just to make sure you get enough piano & chris martin, of course!). oh, & why didn't anyone tell me about snowpatrol??!
oh! sometimes you can't make it on your own is coming on! a mix of indie + coldplay + u2?? goodness.
hope the holiday spirit hits you, too :)

text: Ok heres my problem. Using IE7 (damn its black heart) I cannot get it to log on to any https sites. Hotmail (ironic isnt it), my online banking, etc. The error I get says IE cannot connect to the site and the most likely problem is I am not connected to the internet. As you might imagine, I am connected to the internet and Firefox can log on to secure sites just fine. I made sure the site wasnt blocked even though I havent blocked any. Im using Windows firewall and nothing is blocked through that. Also, all three ssl tsl options are checked in the internet options menu advanced tab. I also cannont log on to my Itunes store account or Napster account. Both of the programs work fine, I just cant log in. I think the two problems are related. Any ideas? ETA Im using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 as well.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

When His Glory is Revealed.
Those same people follow a tradition that tells us billions of people will be thrown in hell with no chance of salvation entirely because God has not chosen them for salvation.
Somehow this "predestination" for damnation is all for God's glory.
I know God's ways are not our ways – but a God who needs to burn billions of people for eternity in order to bring glory to himself is less worthy of glory than a school yard bully who beats up kids half his size and half his age.
I wrote the article "God's Glorious Gospel" when I was trying to find words to describe the incredible nature of the salvation God has provided. I realised how incapable I was of understanding the glorious nature and means of salvation sufficiently to put it into words.
However, one day the whole extent of what God has done (and is doing) will be completely revealed to those He has saved.
How much glory will He receive when the fullness of salvation is made known?

Yes Onesimus!
God alone chose those individuals to be saved.
Or perhaps you might think that those individuals have chosen themselves to be saved?
Would you trust in a God, who would like to save Tom, Dick and Harry and He could not do it?
How can you be sure that He will be able to save you?
After all, He lost Tom, Dick and Harry in hell.
Onesimus; It would be good for you to understand predestination, and then you might know the whole extent of what God has done and is doing.
Again, I would like to remind you that God did NOT provide salvation.
You have not learned that from the Lord, but from the Catholic Church (Universal Church).
The Lord Jesus is a mighty savior and NOT a provider.

No Paul,
God did not choose individuals for salvation. He alone chose to save mankind and His Son was given as a ransom for ALL of mankind.
The false gospel you have adopted, whether you like to admit it or not is peculiar to that heresy known as Calvinism.
My gospel has not been learned from the "Catholic Church (Universal Church)". My involvement with the organised church ended many years ago.
My gospel has been learned through knowing God via His word and by His Spirit; and not via man's theology.
The only "recent" encounters I've had with organised religion has been documented elsewhere on this blog. The most recent being with a church that believed the same Calvinist false "gospel" that you are promoting.
Yes, The Lord Jesus THE mighty saviour. He's not a pathetic being who needs to force people into following Him. He gave His life for ALL so that His mercy could be extended to ALL so that ALL who believe in Him (freely and not by irresistible force) will have eternal life.
Yes I WOULD trust in a God who desires to save Tom Dick and Harry, who would also allow them to miss out on salvation when they choose to reject His gospel.
And no He did not lose "Tom, Dick and Harry in hell". He gave them every opportunity to receive His salvation, but from pride or self-righteousness they remained in their rebellion and refused to turn to God and His mercy.
I can be sure that He will be able to save me because I continue to put my faith in Him and His word. I trust HIM and what HE said and not what man has said.
I do not put my faith in a smug assumption that I have been personally chosen for a salvation that I could never lose.

Paul G said:
"Onesimus; It would be good for you to understand predestination, and then you might know the whole extent of what God has done and is doing."
I have a very good understanding of "predestination" that comes from scripture and is consistent with the overall revelation of scripture. It is not based on isolated prooftexts, it is not based on a dead man's theology.
The lies and distortions of Calvinism have been given more than enough space on this blog.
I will no longer allow its God-maligning doctrines to be promoted here.
- 10:53 am
- Onesimus said...
To repeat what I said in the last comment: the attempted promotion of God maligning doctrines will no longer be tolerated on this blog.
That includes the lies of "limited atonement" "unconditional election" and "irresistible grace".
I will also delete any repeated comments about faith being a "work".
Eternal life is given to those who believe (and continue to believe) in Jesus. Portrayals of such a scenario as "saving yourself" will also not be tolerated here.
This blog is not an open marketplace for the promotion of heresy. I would not allow Mormons or JWs to go on promoting their false beliefs - and neither will I allow Calvinist doctrines to be promoted.
- 8:19 am
- Onesimus said...
Further to my previous comments:
There are only so many times that a person can go over the same old ground. The "arguments" being presented by followers of Calvinism become tedious in their repetition and in the blindness being displayed.
There comes a time to shake off the dust.

Ever heard of someone being addicted to peanut butter? If you haven't you might be surprised that one of your peers is addicted to peanut butter, and it's an extreme addiction. She eats it by the spoonful! She tries to put it in smoothies. Yep, that's right peanut butter smoothies, eww. She has to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch every day for her school lunch. She even said, "I can't live without peanut butter." She certainly would have a hard time if an outbreak ever occurred and she couldn't have her peanut butter. She's like cookie monster but peanut butter monster. She eats peanut butter with apples and has even created her own recipe called a "deluxe peanut butter sandwich!" She's peanut butter crazy.
Here's a stranger addiction that literally gives you the creeps. One of your peers is addicted to the smell of Home Depot. She said, "I wish I could trap the smell of Home Depot in a bottle, make perfume, candles, cologne, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, etc. that smell like Home Depot, and make my whole house smell like Home Depot." I mean it's normal for people to like the smell of fresh laundry, cut grass, rain, etc. but Home Depot is taking the whole scent obsession to the next level! I guess we know where she'll be working.

At LawnSavers, we believe it is of paramount importance to support worthy initiatives in our community and especially our country. Charity starts at home, but our team is also our family. Together we select several initiatives to contribute not only money, but our time and expertise to help make the world a bit better than we found it.
Some of the charities we have contributed to include:
LawnSavers supports the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces
LawnSavers Plant Health Care is always striving to be at the forefront of Healthy lawn & tree care methods and technologies (and winning). Our Environmental Leadership has established and proven our reputation as 'your' company that delivers the results you expect, while protecting 'our' environment. It's not just "lip service", It's a professional organic Lawn Service!
Our lawn and trees service experts spend a large amount of time and money every year dedicated to researching and testing viable alternatives to traditional pesticides, and incorporate only those organic and natural options that pass high government and personal health & safety standards into our service menu. Natural doesn't necessarily mean safe.
Most importantly we strongly believe in education, for ourselves, our customers, and the general public.
We have tons of research documents that we have carefully studied and encourage you to take the time to do your own homework too.
If you ever have any questions, please give us a call- we'll be happy to provide you any information we have to help you make the right choices for your family, one you can be comfortable with based on facts.

2015: Fall trials focus on improved methods of applying our Fiesta® Weed Control have shown a significant increase in results. Weed death has been slowed down to a small degree while allowing less re-growth, resulting in better overall weed control.
2014: Field trials have begun with a new granular, natural product called Phoma Macrostoma. Phoma Macrostoma is a naturally occurring fungus that has been in development for over 7 years. It is a promising technology for weed control because it can be applied before weeds begin to be a problem or applied after they are already growing. Essentially, it prevents photosynthesis in the weed plant causing it to die. Its most exciting benefit is that it does not require watering and can be applied virtually any time during the growing season. An important additional benefit is that it is showing positive results at controlling hard to kill weed species like Violet, Plantain and Creeping Charlie.
LawnSavers is monitoring the efficacy of this new product and will begin including it in its regular program once registered and allowed for use in Ontario, subject to positive results of the field trials.
In May 2010, Fiesta was registered and classified as a Liquid Weed Control in Ontario. LawnSavers was one of the first companies to use Fiesta and has developed a wealth of experience. Properly applied, along with a high quality fertilizing program, Fiesta can offer a true viable alternative to traditional chemical weed control products

On May 16, 2008, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) concluded its re-evaluation of the popular herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), finding that the herbicide can be used safely according to label directions for a variety of lawn, turf and agricultural applications.
In issuing the decision, the PMRA stated in its Information Note, "Health Canada also consulted an independent Science Advisory Panel comprised of government and university experts/researchers in toxicology, epidemiology and biology. The Panel agreed with Health Canada's assessment that 2,4-D can be used safely when used according to label directions, with some uses requiring additional protective measures."
Health Canada's decision and other resources pertaining to 2,4-D may be found at:

I think Barrymore is wonderful in both silents and talkies, due mostly to expressiveness of his face. His face can say things that words will not. There is a beautiful and touching scene where Lady Margery visits him to let him know that Lord Alvanley is no longer alive. Hoping to rekindle what they once had, she sadly leaves when Brummell refuses, stating he is old, changed and possibly tired of even love. The moment she is gone, you can see Brummell as he realizes he still loves her deeply and opens the door while simultaneously covering his mouth to call out to her. His emotions are at war with the hard truth that he cannot be the man he once was for her and his regrets are weighty. It's an extremely moving scene.
Ironically, as Barrymore is aged throughout the film, he looks more and more like his brother Lionel eventually will in old age in real life. It's downright eerie to watch him play this old man all twisted from loneliness and mental instability.

Yesterday I got my second swine flu jag. Apparently, if you're on immuno-suppressant drugs, you need a second jag. See, that makes no sense to me. If my immune system is being suppressed, does that not mean I should need less of the drug?
Anyway, yesterday I got my part 2. I wasn't worried about it in the slightest because the first one went very well. In fact, I hardly felt it going into my arm. Oh, my arm was a bit tender for a couple of days but nothing worth writing home - or blogging - about!
The nurse who called me yesterday wasn't the same one I had last time. She got the needle ready and I swear when she approached me, I kept thinking of Psycho. She was holding that needle just like Norman held that knife. Talk about a "whoa!" moment.
I just stood there and tried not to flinch when the needle went in - I don't think I succeeded! I felt a bit weird all afternoon yesterday but I just put it down to having had the jag and then getting bloods taken to make sure everything is as it should be because of the aforementioned immuno-suppressants.
Well, today my arm is really aching. It feels like someone hit me with a club - or some psycho stabbed me!
I'll be okay soon. It's certainly not going to stop me enjoying my Christmas celebrations! :oP

Using a national longitudinal survey data set from the Higher Education Research Institute, this study tested whether students who identified as a sexual minority (for example, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer) were more or less likely to persist after 4 years in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, as opposed to switching to a non-STEM program, compared to their heterosexual peers. A multilevel regression model controlling for various experiences and characteristics previously determined to predict retention in STEM demonstrated that, net of these variables, sexual minority students were 7% less likely to be retained in STEM compared to switching into a non-STEM program. Despite this finding, sexual minority STEM students were more likely to report participating in undergraduate research programs, and the gender disparity in STEM retention appears to be reversed for sexual minority STEM students.

My ordeal with train pervert'
PUBLISHED: 17:34 20 May 2009 | UPDATED: 16:43 25 August 2010
THE teenage victim of a sex predator who lurks at train stations before stalking his victims identified the suspect from an appeal in the Times.
THE teenage victim of a sex predator who lurks at train stations before stalking his victims identified the suspect from an appeal in the Times.
In the latest incident reported to police a 17-year-old girl, from Gravesend, was subjected to a terrifying 'lewd act' by a man at Crayford train station.
She agreed to an interview to warn others about the danger but instantly recognised the alleged suspect after being shown an appeal in last week's edition.
The college student was singled out by a man waiting on the platform, who realised she was alone when the train arrived and ran across the bridge to board, at midday last Tuesday.
She said: "Oh my God! That's him, I can't believe it. Just looking at him, he makes me sick. I can't believe he has done this before.
"I wanted to speak to the paper to warn other women about this man, I heard this had happened before but I can't believe I am staring at him in the paper.
"When the train pulled up I noticed this man staring at me from the opposite platform. It made me feel very uncomfortable, just staring. He purposely singled me out. Then suddenly he just started running over the bridge for the train."
The terrified teenager, who is now too scared to get back on a train, described how he boarded, walked through the carriages and sat opposite her.
After taking her make-up bag out to avoid contact with him she heard a noise and realised he was committing a lewd act and started approaching her.
The incident is almost identical to an appeal featured twice in the Times and most recently just last week.
On March 31 an 18-year-old was subjected to an almost identical attack on a train between Northfleet and London Bridge. CCTV of a man, who was also identified by the latest victim wanted in connection with the incident, was released by officers.
She added: "I was terrified. At this point he started to come towards me and instinct just kicked in, I ran. I ran as fast as I could through the carriages before I saw a boy about my age and sat near him. I hate to think what he would have done had I not run away so fast. He came straight for me. The minute the train stopped at Dartford I ran from the station, right into the centre of Dartford and collapsed sobbing into a friend's arms who I luckily spotted."
Officers searched the station and put a block on the train at Gravesend but he escaped and his latest victim fears another woman may not be so lucky.
She added: "I have to warn others about this man. What he could do to the next woman horrifies me. Please call the police if you know this man."
The Albany Park train, which left at 12.06pm, would have continued on to Stone Crossing, Greenhithe, Swanscombe and Northfleet before Gravesend.
Her mother added: "It makes me feel sick what he put my daughter through. We must catch him before he strikes again or does something worse. There may be other victims he targeted who have not spoken to police and should come forward."
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "I can confirm that a second victim has come forward since the release of CCTV. This relates to a further incident on Tuesday, May 12 which is being investigated alongside the original offence on Tuesday, March 31. Officers are conducting local enquiries and reviewing CCTV. Although I can confirm we are not linking the suspect with any other offences at this time, we encourage anyone else who thinks that they have also been a victim to contact police."

A TALENTED RGC forward is on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery to repair a serious knee injury.
Dan Owen suffered an Anterior Cruciate Ligament affliction earlier this season for the Principality Premiership side, ending his 2019/20 campaign earlier than expected after a positive start to the campaign.
Owen came through the Gogs' thriving Academy system and made his first team debut during his final year as a Sixth Form pupil at Rydal Penrhos School in Colwyn Bay.
His sensational form also saw him earn a call-up to the Wales U18 international squad, where he turned in two exceptional displays to further enhance his reputation as one of the brightest young prospects anywhere in the country.
The flanker signed a new deal with Mark Jones' men and is continuing his studies at the University of Aberystwyth.
A source told The Journal that Owen's operation "went really well" and the COBRA youth product is expected back in training for their upcoming pre-season regime ahead of the new campaign.

Technical Paper
Optimization for Brake Feeling in Vehicle without Brake Noise
Recently, upon customer's needs for noise-free brake, carmakers are increasingly widely installing damping kits in their braking systems. However, an installation of the damping kits may excessively increase softness in the brake system, by loosening stroke feeling of a brake pedal and increasing compressibility after durability. To find a solution to alleviate this problem, we first conducted experiments to measure compressibility of shims by varying parameters such as adhesive shims (e.g., bonding spec., steel and rubber thickness), piston's shapes (e.g., different contact areas to the shims), and the numbers of durability. Next, we installed a brake feeling measurement system extended from a brake pedal to caliper. We then compared experimental parameters with brake feeling in a vehicle. Finally, we obtained an optimized level of brake feeling by utilizing the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).

Back in the 1920s and '30s, musical shows were silly and trivial. Audiences went to them to escape the grim realities of everyday life. Then the musical theater turned earnest. But American culture always has another trick up its sleeve: While the once-frivolous form was cranking up its dark sobriety, its target audience, nurtured by the increasing barrage of the electronic media, became ever more obsessed with trivialities, ever more eager to shove aside the serious matters it needed to confront. Reality? For most Americans, the word now means a genre of TV entertainment.
So now, comically enough, the musical theater can be trivial again, simply by applying its hard-won earnestness of outlook to the inane realities that we silly Americans seem to regard as important. Bring It On (St. James Theatre) perfectly exemplifies the new synthesis: a giddy old-style musical, but with new-style Sunday-school moral lessons tacked all over it, about a teenage girl whose one goal in life is to be captain of a high school cheerleading squad. We could be back in 1926, with the heroine of Rodgers & Hart's The Girl Friend helping her beau train for the six-day bicycle race, except that the audience at the St. James is jammed with teenage girls for whom the cheerleader's championship dream, if not their own, is at least one they can identify with emotionally—and vocally, to gauge by the response at the press performance I attended.
And their vocal seconding of the onstage rabble-rousing has some justification. A sort of Hairspray with backflips, Bring It On expresses its enthusiasm for love and team spirit with epic amounts of leaping and shouting, and repeated breathtaking stunts by human pyramids. Its story, as flimsy as a crepe paper streamer, has the mercy, in Jeff Whitty's often sassy script, of tossing an occasional self-aware dart at its own inanity. Its score, by Lin-Manuel Miranda and the team of Amanda Green and Tom Kitt, has a steady skillful amiability, rather than any great distinction, as it shifts from rock to hip-hop to items more like standard-issue show music. But this musical moderateness, in never venturing to the raw edges of the idioms it employs, is its source of wide appeal: This is hip-hop that doesn't make older adult ears feel bruised. (Which, granted, means it probably isn't "real" hip-hop, but when were Broadway musicals real anything, except Broadway musicals?)
Campbell (Taylor Louderman), Bring It On's heroine, views high school cheerleading as a "life or death" matter. Entering her senior year and about to realize her lifelong goal of captaining the cheer squad, she tells a sophomore trainee who has had a momentary attack of cold feet, "Being a cheerleader is like being a Marine. You signed your life away." (One wonders how the Marine recruits who constantly shout "Semper Fi" in Dogfight would react to Campbell and her ilk.) But Campbell's do-or-die path is beset with booby traps. Skylar (Kate Rockwell), her rival for the captaincy, keeps dropping one-liners that undercut her authority. And that seemingly nervous sophomore trainee, Eva (Elle McLemore), turns out to have high-powered connections. Their manipulations get Campbell transferred, through "redistricting," from clean, complacent, upscale Truman High to Jackson, a school so "tough" that—oh, horror—it doesn't even have a cheerleading squad.
Campbell starts off badly at Jackson, alienating the school's queen of cool, Danielle (Adrienne Warren). But nothing worse happens to her, at this school populated largely by blacks and Latinos, unless you count her being nicknamed "Cream of Mushroom." With the help of another redistrictee, her always-game, chunky gal pal Bridget (a bright, spunky performance by Ryann Redmond), Campbell fights her way into friendship with Danielle, and—after a few more setbacks, each tagged with a tidy moral lesson—even restores cheerleading and school spirit to Jackson.
Like the acrobatic dancers whose incessant somersaulting takes up so much of Andy Blankenbuehler's production, the moral lessons in Whitty's script land lightly, minute crunchy moments in the show's dessert-sweet texture. The young performers throw themselves full-heartedly into the material, as you expect young performers to do, Louderman and Warren coming off particularly well. If David Korins's set looks more like a rock video with a sci-fi motif than like actual life in American high schools today, the college-football musicals of the 1920s probably looked just as adorably unreal.

Cairo's metro is spared the usual congestion on Saturday mornings. The pace is slower and people are willing to talk about the future of the service that is a vital part of Cairo's public transportation network.
That future looks more expensive for many now, as the Transportation Ministry has made public overtures toward a new variable fare that would roll out in May and be triple the current fare at its maximum, promising improvements in services alongside the price hike.
Passengers climbing out of the Dokki Station onto the normally hectic Tahrir Street complained to Mada Masr about the tentative plan, saying that they are unconvinced that improvements to the service used to justify the hike are worth the high price.
"I doubt the trains will arrive every three minutes like they did back in the 90s. So what improvements are they talking about?" a metro passenger asks. "Down there, we still queue to get tickets. What improvements?" he adds indignantly.
Transportation Minister Hesham Arafat addressed the news in an appearance on Amr Adib's "Kol Youm" (Every Day) on January 10. On the show, Arafat said the May price hike, which would see ride fares range between LE3 and LE6 depending on distance traveled, is still under consideration and a final decision has yet to be made.
In December, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated that the metro ticket price could not remain the same as the current fare is not sufficient to fund the expansion of the metro grid. "It cannot be done with the current fare, not even with a 200 or 300 percent increase. This is the blunt truth of it," he said.
Standing by the entrance to the Dokki Station on Cairo Metro Line 2, lawyer Mohamed al-Sheikh, 33, argues that the price hike is too steep, however, and that it is coming too soon. "The government should stabilize ticket prices. To announce a further increase less than a year after the last increase is just not acceptable," Sheikh says.
The government first doubled metro fares in March, applying a LE2 fare to over 3 million passengers who use the metro each day.
The government claimed at the time that the price hike was intended to cover the metro service's increasing operating costs and maximize revenue to allow for future development and improvements.
In a press statement made in March, the Transportation Ministry said that financial losses were the driving factor behind the fare increase. According to the ministry, the metro has accrued annual losses of LE200 million since 2010, while accumulated debt has reached LE500 million.
The Egyptian Company for Metro Management and Operation (ECMMO) is expected to have doubled its fare revenue since the first increase was implemented almost 10 months ago, but it has not released any official data on losses or profits since then. When asked about the profits from this period, the company spokesperson told Mada Masr that "profits do not concern the public."
Sheikh is interested in the type of improvements the government intends to introduce, aside from the expansion of new lines. He also points out that some developments – such as the installment of an air conditioning system in metro cars – have become necessary, should be implemented automatically and do not justify a hike of this magnitude.
Arabic language teacher Doaa Mostafa, 27, believes people won't care about improvements if the fares are too high. "What can we possibly get out of the increase? Are we going to be able to sit down rather than stand in the cars? Impossible," she says.
In a statement released last month, the Transportation Ministry stated that metro fares would be grouped into price brackets depending on the number of stations traveled. Tickets would cost LE2 for a journey across nine stations, with passengers paying an additional LE1 for each extra stop, reaching a maximum of LE6 for passengers who travel the entire length of a line.
The transportation minister's reassurance that few people need to travel across an entire metro line – and therefore pay LE6 – did not sit well with Mostafa. Many people, she says, are forced to travel long distances for their jobs. "What is a passenger to do, ask their boss to relocate their workplace so they can afford the ticket?"
Khaled agrees with Mostafa's sentiment that it is not uncommon for people to ride the length of the metro. The 47-year-old accountant, his wife and two children travel all the way from the Mounib Station (southeast of Greater Cairo) to Shubra (north of the city) every week to visit his parents.
Khaled's four-person family gets on the metro at the Mounib Station, the southernmost station of Cairo Metro Line 2 and gets off at the Shubra station. He calculates that the round trip would cost LE50, if the new pricing plan is implemented.
"Even if it's to cover improvement costs, fare increases should be more reasonable. A sensible increase would be 10, 20 or at most 25 percent, making the ride fare LE2.5. But a 300 percent increase is just cheeky," he says. Khaled believes that a government service such as the metro should not be for profit. As it is a necessity for large segments of the population and helps curb the price gouging people face when using privately owned means of transportation, such as microbuses, Khaled says it is imperative that the metro service is subsidized, just like bread.
"If metro fares increase, microbus fares will. Microbus drivers will use metro fare increases to justify hikes of LE3.5 or even LE4," Khaled says. Mostafa and Sheikh agree with Khaled's sentiment, as both predict that an increase in metro fares will certainly be reflected by increases in fares of other means of transportation.
Ali Fadaly, the chairman of the ECMMO, told Ahram Gate last year that the company is not seeking to make profits, but "working toward ending the facility's dependence on the state budget to cover improvements and maintenance and toward providing a better service for Egyptians, especially given that over 3 million passengers use the metro every day."

Thy Catafalque
(Season Of Mist)
Tamás Kátai is back with another offering in what comes as a bit of an unexpected surprise – avant-garde act Thy Catafalque's seventh album. You might remember that the previous record Sgurr came out just last year, and Meta is no small EP recording to tide you over to the next one. It is the next one, all sixty-six minutes of it. Yes, you're getting nearly seventy minutes of what is expectedly not just black metal, but doubles as something so much more. After Sgurr it's relatively tough to even call the band black metal anymore, but I will say that the record begins a bit heavier than the previous release.
"Uránia" gives us a similar approach that reminds me heavily of the band's early material, but the next cut "Sirály" is unquestionably different. It's quite simple to say that it isn't even metal at all. It feels like a bit of electronic rock with some psychedelic elements and even a female vocal presence. Perhaps there are some metallic thumps here and there, but it's certainly not what you were expecting. Even so, that doesn't mean that the piece isn't effective. It even throws in a rather killer solo section that I didn't expect to hear, showing just how versatile and magnificent this kind of act is. Songs like this are why I still have a lot of faith in this act, as well as Kátai's willingness to experiment. The mood changes drastically with the next piece "10^(-20) Ångström" which turns from hard-hitting metal to DnB influenced metal. Kátai is still performing the scowl as we might (or might not expect) on a piece of this nature, but it's a more upbeat track and you can dance to it.
One of the longer tracks on the disc follows in the form of "Ixión Düün" which once again changes the mood, throwing us right into the center of a video game – preferably one of role-playing fare. This seems to offer what almost feels like a little bit of Rotting Christ or Nile, possibly even Septic Flesh in it's tone. The track itself is exponentially heavy, with the drums often blazing at full speed and darker vocal realms than I've heard from any of Kátai's projects. These aren't scowls, folks – and this isn't black metal. It's atmospheric death metal. We can even go back to Lykathea Aflame with this. Adding to that, we have the inclusion of the trippy guitar compositions, as well as another fine solo section that almost feels a bit inspired by Nile. This track is literally so good that it could stand out on it's own, completely separated from the album and even if people don't care for some of the other realms traversed on the disc, I think that a lot of people will notice this one from the start. It certainly took me by surprise and doesn't even sound like the same band. Of course, the track mostly succeeds in it's atmosphere, by which the guitars and keyboards just sound plain majestic. There are times when you listen to a piece of music and are overwhelmed by the complexity and sheer amount of work put into it – this is one of those times. Following that, we have "Osszel Otthon" which feels like a sort of light after dinner mint in which to settle one's stomach after the explosive and startlingly raucous epic that we had just experienced. It doesn't bring in the guitar until a little later in the cut, but the almost easy-listening factor of the piece brings with it a very calm, very cool feeling that is akin to a refreshing glass of ice water. If one wants to call it "elevator music" then it is definitely one of the best songs that I think I'll ever hear while on an elevator.
Little did we know that this short piece was only an intermission to what is unequivocally the largest cut on the record. "Malmok Járnak" is just a little over twenty minutes long, and has several sections within itself, as you might imagine. It begins with something more metallic in the realms of atmospheric black metal (albeit played slower than you might expect, much closer to some of Summoning's material) as the female vocals come back along with some electronics and atmospheric guitar leads. About midway, the entire nature of the piece changes, transforming the song from metallic to electronic. I've done things like this on crude electronic albums with emulated guitars, but they never sounded anything quite like this. The metal sections come back in for a little longer until the whole thing becomes atmospheric prog-rock with one last metal kick and a chant. There are a couple more tracks after that, but my intention is not to give away the entire record.
From just this observation we can sense that Thy Catafalque have returned with not only a much heavier, but far more atmospheric and proggier record than before. It won't be for everyone, but most of Thy Catafalque's material is a bit tough for some to chew on and that's perfectly fine – these songs aren't necessarily so catchy or easily absorbed. Regardless of that, there is truly something for everyone here and that's where I find this disc most valuable. Even people who don't like heavy metal music at all will find at least something here, and that's worth saying something. Kátai has created a sense of musical harmony between many dissimilar styles of music, and that's what makes Meta one of the most interesting and ambiguous albums of the year. It is an absolute must have for all avant-garde and experimental metal enthusiasts. (The Grim Lord)

Release Date: April 11, 2019
In grade school, he pulled at her pigtails. In middle school, he spread false rumors about her. And in high school, he ruined her prom.
She hates that his smirks are unfairly sexy. And she definitely loathes that his dark eyes seem to follow her everywhere. Sometimes, even in her dreams.
It doesn't matter that he's rich and popular or that he lives in a freaking mansion full of butlers and maids. He's rude and arrogant, and she wants to stay as far away from him as possible.
But unfortunately for Cleo, she lives in the same freaking mansion as Zach.
Only he's the prince and she's the lowly maid who serves him.
She lives in New York City with her nerdy and supportive husband, and a million and one books.

The business has not been claimed
ChicagoLemonLaw.com represents consumers of the greater Chicago, Bloomington-Normal, Rockford, and Southern Illinois areas in all consumer-related matters, with a special concentration on lemon law and car fraud.
Illinois Commercial Code
The Commercial Code governs sale of goods, such as cars. If your car has a substantial defect, not known to you at the time of sale, you may be able to "unwind" the deal and get your money back. This is called "rejection" or "revocation of acceptance." The disadvantage of these remedies is that they do not provide for attorney fees.
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, commonly known as Mag-Moss, is an "add-on" to the warranty law contained in the Commercial Code. Under Mag-Moss, if the seller breaches express or implied warranties, you may be entitled to damages. Mag-Moss is a "fee-shiftable" statute, meaning, that the prevailing consumer can recover attorney fees from the defendant. This allows people to pursue small claims they ordinarily have no resources to pursue.
Illinois Consumer Fraud Act
The Act (fee-shiftable) prohibits deceptive or unfair acts or practices, and is applicable to a wide variety of fraudulent conduct. In a car context, it applies to undisclosed accidents, fraudulent sales techniques, odometer fraud, and myriad other deceptions car dealers engage in when selling cars.
Truth in Lending Act
This federal Act (fee-shiftable) regulates disclosures of financing terms. It is applicable to car cases when the dealers force consumers to buy unnecessary insurance, claiming it would improve their chances of getting financed, or when the dealers do not allow consumers to take unsigned copies of their finance contracts to shop around for a better rate. (Yes, it is your right under federal law!).
Equal Credit Opportunity Act
, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices ActThese federal Acts (also fee-shiftable) regulate extensions of credit and collection practices. Car dealers routinely violate the disclosure requirements of both ECOA and FCRA. Often, if a consumer falls behind on his or her payments, the account is referred to a collection agency, which may engage in sharp collection practices that violate the FDCPA. A consumer may be entitled to statutory damages for such violations.
Illinois Lemon Law
A useless piece of legislation, most familiar to the consumers. This Act is practically never used by competent consumer lawyers, for a number of reasons: for starters, it does not allow you to assert any claims other than those under the Act (in all other instances you can sue under several theories, such as warranty, truth in lending, fraud, etc.), and it does not provide for attorney fees to the prevailing consumer. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this Act is a lemon.

Why, just why is it that I can never, ever find a person who:
- Can think logically
- Can think analytically
- Can think
- Can envision
- Is passionate about whatever they do
- Is not afraid to experiment
- Believes in "The journey is its own reward" [to an extent]
- Has interests that match with mine
- Is not a cheap bastard
- Is not a darned freeloader
Just Why?
Why do I have to endure watching people who don't know their Java from their JavaScript from their applets be more successful than me?
But deep down, something tells me the day will come when social niceties and short-term memory will cease to be measures of how good a person is, when I will be among people who are not driven by petty jealousies, or want of petty recognition, when passion is all that that matters.

High Quality Giclee Print on Archival Paper; 27" x 34" dimensions.
*Fulfillment time between 2 and 3 weeks
Pop Art-esque assemblage of juxtaposed prints depicting a portion of Norwich Cathedral's Cloister area. Employment of the techniques of repeated motif and optional illusion images (the cloister wall and a veiled woman praying at a wall). It seemed like the appropriate approach for expressing the sentiment that one should continually pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests (Eph 6:18)

A healthy critique is one of the most helpful messages a person can have. A parent, boss, or even a good friend can be very destructive to someone by using an inappropriate critique approach, creating helplessness, anger, and rebellion. A healthy critique creates a hope of doing better and aids the beginning of a plan for doing so.
A healthy critique focuses on what an individual has done and can do, rather than reading a mark of character into a job poorly done. A character attack – calling someone stupid or incompetent – immediately puts the person on the defensive, making them no longer receptive to what you say next. When someone believes their failures are due to an unchangeable deficit in themselves, they lose hope and stop trying. Remember, optimism is the thought that setbacks or failures are due to circumstances that we actually can do something positively productive about, changing them for the better.
Harry Levinson, a psychoanalyst gives the following advice on finessing a critique, directly correlated to the art of praise:
- Be specific. Pick a significant incident, an event that illustrates a key problem that needs changing or a pattern of deficiency, such as the inability to do certain parts of a job well. It demoralizes people just to hear that they are doing "something" wrong without knowing what the specifics are so they can adapt. Focus on the specifics, revealing what the person did well, what was done poorly, and how it could be changed. Don't be evasive or vague; it will muddy the real message.
- Offer a solution. The critique, like all useful feedback, should point to a way to fix the problem. Otherwise it leaves the recipient frustrated, demoralized, or demotivated. The critique may open the door to possibilities and alternatives that the person did not realize were there, or simply sensitize them to deficiencies that need attention – but should include suggestions about how to take care of these problems.
- Be present. Critiques, like praise, are most effective face to face and in private. People who are uncomfortable giving a criticism – or offering praise – are likely to ease the burden on themselves by doing it at a distance, such as in a memo. But this makes the communications too impersonal, and robs the person receiving it of an opportunity for a response or clarification
- Be sensitive. This is a call for empathy, for being attuned to the impact of what you say and how you say it on the person at the receiving end. People who have little empathy, Levinson points out, are the most prone to giving feedback in a hurtful fashion, such as the withering put-down. The net effect of such criticism is destructive: instead of opening the way for a corrective it creates an emotional backlash of resentment, bitterness, defensiveness, and distance.
Levinson also offers some emotional counsel for those at the receiving end of criticism. One is to see the criticism as valuable information about how to do better, not as a personal attack. Another is to watch for the impulse toward defensiveness instead of taking responsibility. And, if it gets too upsetting, ask to resume the meeting later, after a period to absorb the difficult message and cool down a bit. Finally, he advises people to see criticism as an opportunity to work together with the critic to solve the problem, not as an adversarial situation. All this sage advice, of course, directly echoes suggestions for married couples trying to handle their complaints without doing permanent damage to their relationship.

@article{Major-Gabryś_K._Organic_2019, author={Major-Gabryś, K. and Hosadyna-Kondracka, M.}, howpublished={online}, year={2019}, abstract={
Recently, some major changes have occurred in the structure of the European foundry industry, such as a rapid development in the production of castings from compacted graphite iron and light alloys at the expense of limiting the production of steel castings. This created a significant gap in the production of heavy steel castings (exceeding the weight of 30 Mg) for the metallurgical, cement and energy industries. The problem is proper moulding technology for such heavy castings, whose solidification and cooling time may take even several days, exposing the moulding material to a long-term thermal and mechanical load. Owing to their technological properties, sands with organic binders (synthetic resins) are the compositions used most often in industrial practice. Their main advantages include high strength, good collapsibility and knocking out properties, as well as easy mechanical reclamation. The main disadvantage of these sands is their harmful effect on the environment, manifesting itself at various stages of the casting process, especially during mould pouring. This is why new solutions are sought for sands based on organic binders to ensure their high technological properties but at the same time less harmfulness for the environment. This paper discusses the possibility of reducing the harmful effect of sands with furfuryl binders owing to the use of resins with reduced content of free furfuryl alcohol and hardeners with reduced sulphur content. The use of alkyd binder as an alternative to furfuryl binder has also been proposed and possible application of phenol-formaldehyde resins was considered.}, type={Article}, title={Organic Moulding Sands for Production of Large-Size Castings}, volume={vol. 19}, number={No 3}, pages={99-105}, journal={Archives of Foundry Engineering}, publisher={The Katowice Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences}, doi={10.24425/afe.2019.129618}, keywords={Innovative foundry technologies and materials, Moulding sand, Organic binder, Furfuryl resin, Reduced sulphur hardener, Alkyd resin, Alphaset process}, }

A team of researchers from five universities, led by Yarrow Axford, discovered that biological and chemical changes occurring at a remote Arctic lake in recent decades are unprecedented over the past 200,000 years and likely are the result of human-caused climate change. The team's study is based on uniquely old sediment cores extracted from the bottom of a lake on eastern Baffin Island, which is several hundred miles west of Greenland.
The research team carefully sampled the sediments for indicators of past environmental change: algae, insects and geochemistry. They constrained the age of the core through radiocarbon and optically-stimulated luminescence dating. Their record of past environments goes back in time 80,000 years before the oldest reliable ice cores from Greenland and captures three interglacial periods, including the Holocene. Although the lake was overridden by glacier ice several times, the interglacial sediments were not eroded. Environmental changes during all three interglacial periods have been tightly linked to natural causes of climate change--including periodic, well-understood wobbles in Earth's orbit. But changes seen in the sediment cores since about 1950 show that expected natural climate cooling and related changes in the lake environment are being overridden by human activity like greenhouse gas emissions.
Team members included Jason Briner (former INSTAAR, now Univ. at Buffalo), Gifford Miller, and Alexander Wolfe (former INSTAAR post doc, now Univ. of Alberta). Their paper was the cover story for the November 3rd volume of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (PNAS).

A beautiful suspected thief was recently stripped naked and abused in public by a mob in Kumasi.
The irate young men inserted their toes into her private part, slapped and spanked the light-skinned with belts.
The pleas of the beautiful suspect fell on deaf ears, as her captors continually battered her.
The awful incident reportedly occurred at the PZ Area in Adum, the Central Business District (CBD) of Kumasi on Friday afternoon.
The maltreatment of the lady by the mob was captured on video which has since gone viral, especially on facebook.
The poor lady reportedly feigned as a shopper and tried to steal GH¢1,100 belonging to a certain shop owner, but luck eluded her as she was arrested.
The real identity of the suspected thief was not readily known, but reports from eye witnesses indicated that she might be in her mid 20s.
In the short video, a group of angry young men were seen tearing the clothes of the young lady into pieces in public.
After totally stripping her naked, the crowd started to beat the lady from all angles, and marched her through the busy street of Adum.
At a point, the lady became very weak so she fell on the ground and a certain young man inserted his toes into her private part.
A man, who was dressed in a city guard uniform, rushed to the place to save the suspect but his efforts proved futile, as the crowd pushed him aside.
The young men continued to beat the lady and abused her until she fell unconscious on the ground.
They flogged her with belts and other objects on the ground despite her situation.
At the end of the footage, some young men opened the legs of the very weak lady and spanked her private part with the belt.
