Carrie Doyle, "Death on West End Road"
More murder in the Hamptons, from best-selling author Carrie Doyle!
Like a basket of warm cinnamon buns, an unsolved crime is something that Hamptons innkeeper and sleuth Antonia Bingham just can't resist. Despite a busy high-season schedule and an inn booked to capacity, Antonia has agreed to investigate a cold case in her beloved adopted hometown, East Hampton, NY: the killing of Susie Whitaker, whose brutal 1990 slaying on a tennis court in the poshest part of town was never solved. And the person who has hired Antonia? Prime suspect Pauline Framingham, a manipulative pharmaceutical heiress from a powerful family.
As Antonia attempts to unravel the mysteries of the past she unearths even darker secrets and ultimately wonders if it would have been best to let sleeping dogs lie. To make matters worse, past acquaintances and love interests reappear in the Hamptons, disrupting Antonia's world and causing her to scurry to the fridge for comfort. Death on West End Road is the third book in best-selling author Carrie Doyle's Hamptons Murder Mystery Series. Along with a colorful cast of supporting characters, the beating heart of the book is Antonia Bingham, restaurateur, gourmand, and nosy carb-lover.
Death on West End Road is an entertaining mystery that will keep audiences guessing right up until the end. Fast-paced...alive with secrets, intrigue and murder. - FOREWORD REVIEWS
Doyle (The Infidelity Pact, 2008, etc.) is a self-described "foodie" and an avid cheerleader for the quaint village of East Hampton, New York...An appealing, three-dimensional heroine and some clever plot twists make this an enjoyable, quick read. - KIRKUS REVIEWS

This project will include custom full-length mirrors as well as photography. Matching current trends, the mirrors will be framed with brushed nickel metal frames, while the artwork, by an incredible Idaho photographer, will be printed on our newest in-house Epson printer.
We are delighted to add this new printer to our shop. It is capable of printing Fine Art on a variety of materials, as well as handling large quantity print jobs. Our capabilities have increased ten-fold with our new printer – lovingly called "Goose."
Additionally, we are wrapping up details on our Hilton project here in Denver. The public areas (i.e. restaurant and lounge) will be completed in April – the rooms will come later this summer. Most notable will be the center piece in the entry. Our designers have chosen an elegant horse (mane blowing in the wind) in earth tones, printed on Plexiglas. The Plexiglas will be installed with a backlighting panel above a double-sided fireplace. Final installation will be stunning and we will be sure to post pictures when it is finished!

2nd-half surge not enough as Green Wave fall to Bucktail
Written by: Kenny Rossi on Monday, October 28th, 2013. Follow Kenny Rossi on Twitter.
The Green Wave added a touchdown in OT but could not convert the two-point conversion.
Bucktail junior Willie Hopkins was all over the field as the ball-hawking cornerback intercepted two passes and broken up several more. On offense, Hopkins carried the ball 17 times for 42 yards and a score. He also had three receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown.
Freshman Dan Lozada led the Green Wave in rushing and passing, carrying the ball 16 times for 68 yards and a score. He also completed 10-of-31 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns.
"I felt pressure, but it didn't really affect me because the line was hitting their blocks and gave me excellent protection," Lozada said of the pressure in the fourth quarter and overtime. "Also I knew that the other players have the ability to score in big moments so I knew we all had each other's back."
Nativity scored on its first offensive play of the game when Lozada threw a strike to senior wide out Brady Morgan for a 48-yard touchdown catch. The score remained the same throughout the 1st quarter as the Green Wave led 7-0.
The fourth quarter had no scoring until 38 seconds left as senior Aric Foster hit a 22-yard field goal tying the game and forcing OT.
Bucktail was on offense first in overtime a 1 yard Trent Risley run and a onverted two-point conversion gave the Bucks defense an eight-point cushion as they stepped on to the field.
Lozada threw a 10-yard strike to senior wide out Kyle Kaledas. Nativity tried some trickery on the two-point conversion, but it did not work as the Bucks D sniffed it out to preserve the victory
Eastern Conference is still a possibility for Nativity, but its chances for a home playoff game are all but done. The Green Wave need to beat Hancock (Md.) next week to guarantee eligibility for the Eastern Conference playoffs. A win would not guarantee a spot either as the Green Wave would need some help to reach EC.

Bad Hair Day, Sumo?
English by Quark
Anong bad hair day eh ang ganda kaya ng buhok ko! (What bad hair day are you talking about when I have great furs!)
Ang tawag diyan sa mukha na iyan ay "nakuryente!" . . . o kaya napurnada! (That expression is called "spammed") Iyan ang nangyayari sa iyo kapag nagkakamali ka nang akala. (That is what happens to you when you make wrong assumptions) Akala ko patay na si MrLeach. (I thought MrLeach is dead) Akala ko nagsumakabilang-buhay na eh yun pala nagsumakabilang-BAHAY lang pala! (I thought he went for the after life but instead he just went to the next house!) Hoy, MrLeach, mag-ingat-ingat ka at marami ang napupurnada kapag sumasakabilang-bahay, lalo na kapag hindi alam ng misis nila! (Hey, MrLeach, a lot of people get into trouble when they move to the next house especially when their Missus do not know!)
Hindi naman ako naiinis sa pagaakalang namatay si MrLeach. (I really did not get irritated when I made the mistake of thinking MrLeach died) Hindi rin ako naiinis o naghinayang sa hinagpis ko sa pag-akalang namatay siya. (I also did not get irritated or regret the grief I had thinking he was dead) Sadya lang ako nagtataka na sa dinami-dami ng maaaring gamutin ni Lui, si MrLeach pa ang pinili niyang buhayin muli! (I am just surprised that Lui chose to heal and bring MrLeach back to life out of all the others!) Shaman kasi si Lui. (Lui is a shaman) Ay mali, sha-woman pala! (Oops, I got it wrong, she's a sha-woman instead!) Aba, kung sa pinoy, ang tamang tawag diyan eh "siya-woman", haha! (Lost in translation. Sumo is playing with phonetics) O, eh di naubusan ka rin ng translation, ha Quark? (So you ran our of translation, eh Quark?)
Kaya kasi ni Lui manggamot pero minsan hindi naman niya ginagawa. (Lui can heal but sometimes she does not) Pinagaling ni Lui si MrLeach pero si Bogart at Pica hindi! (Lui healed MrLeach but not Bogart and Pica!) Ako rin at si Sweepy ginagamot niya, pero paano ba niya nalalaman kung sino ang dapat gamutin? (She also healed me and Sweepy but how does she know who really needs to be healed?)
Lui: Hay Sumo! We are all shamans. We can heal anybody. We do not choose who to heal but it is the one in pain who choose to be healed or not. It is your choice and not mine.
O sya. Pag may sakit ako ulit, gamutin mo ako ha kahit na ayaw ko! (Anyway, if I get sick again, you heal me, Lui, even if I do not want!). . .

Hi, this rust film is developing on my navels - what can I do to stop it? It was really bad last year and I was ill and let it go.
Thanks, CJ D.
Yes, this is citrus rust mite, CJ. The first spray of light horticultural oil (All Seasons Oil, Year Round Spray Oil) should be made in June, another in July and a final application in August. At this point, spray now and again next month.

According to Mr. Watkins, leaving this corner of town undeveloped will adversely effect the outcome of the latest BRAC.
The city's infamous corner at China Lake and Ridgecrest Boulevards is taking on all sorts of proportions. It's been an eyesore for some time and needs to be dealt with now, not in the future.
I agree Mr. Watkins it would be nice if the corner in question was cleaned up and developed. But it is not the only corner in town that could use some cleaning up. You would be hard pressed to drive a mile on any street in town without finding a run down home, an empty business, or an empty lot that could use some fixing up. But since this is the only corner that the city is considering taking away from the lawful owner in order to give it to another we'll deal with this corner.
The issue has some long range consequences for the city's growth through the BRAC recommendations. It is no secret that some elements of the Navy are "circling the wagons" around Point Magu both in Ventura and back east. And according to my sources, despite BRAC decisions being acknowledged as law, they are winning.
Simply put, it is issues like the corner in question, poor streets and basically poor infrastructure. Time is short; now is the time for action not flowery words or committee meetings on top of committee meetings.
This should not surprise you. The last BRAC determined that 2000 jobs from Pt. Mugu should be moved to China Lake. Of course the managers at Pt. Mugu are going to try and fight this. But what you should be asking is why they seem to be successful in their efforts to thwart the will of congress, the pentagon, the Secretary of Defense, and the President of the United States. I seriously doubt that the heart of their champaign to keep their jobs is an abandoned gas station and an old nightclub at "the corner."
China Lake Naval Weapons Center leaders have done their part to help the city by earning the Center of Excellence merit. They are to be commended for this achievement. Such an honor did not come easily.
Kern County is now doing its part by developing a specific plan to protect the base from encroachment but at the same time the plan addresses growth issues.
Now the City of Ridgecrest management and current city council members must do their part. They are a part of the county specific plan but in addition to that effort they need to address internal city issues. They hold the city's future in their hands. Their legacy as individual councilmen, as well as a council as a whole, will be determined in the next six to twelve months.
Yeah that's setting a lofty goal. The China Lake Navy Base earns a Center of Excellence achievement. The County is protecting the base from encroachment. Now all Ridgecrest has to do to contribute is trample the property rights of a local taxpayer by taking their property away from them. Do you really believe that a brand new Rite-aid pharmacy at "the corner" will convince Pt. Mugu management to abandon their efforts to bypass federal law.
Then Mr. Watkins says that he is against the use of eminent domain and offers two other solutions. Except that they aren't solutions, nor are they options.
Personally, I am against eminent domain. But to resolve the issue concerning the restaurant in question such a process may be necessary ... or is it?
Two simple solutions come to mind.
One is to get three appraisals on the land in question, throw out the top one, throw out the bottom one and then use the middle one for the developer and land owner to settle their differences. Appraisals should be secured from licensed offices that do such work and should be generated by the land owner, potential buyer and the city.
The second one is also simple. If the potential buyer has already secured the gas station site as well as the JD's building, tear them down. And when, it is my belief, you tear down the JD's wall adjacent to the restaurant I believe it will leave the restaurant with only a three sided building since the restaurant was built as such a using JD's wall as the fourth frame.
The first solution is not an alternate to eminent domain, it is just way to determine the price that the city will pay the property owner when they force him to sell his property. That Mr. Watkins is eminent domain.
Mr. Watkins second "solution" is even more abhorent that eminent domain. Since the property owner won't sell, we should damage his property so as to make it unusable. Now I'm not a legal expert but that plan sounds like vandalism to me. But then I guess I shouldn't expect too much from Mr. Watkins. Anyone who doesn't see a problem in forcing one business to move so that another business can have his land probably wouldn't see a problem with tearing down a wall of the original business in order to force him to move. Where does this end Mr. Watkins? If I don't mow my lawn regularly will my neighbors be justified in burning the weeds in my grass? Or if my neighbor leaves his cars parked in front of my house for many days am I allowed to destroy them in order to get him to move them?
So there is the solution to the eminent domain issue at "the corner." If you can't legally steal it, destroy it.
Mr. Watkins final statement ammounts to a proclimation of doom:
But one overlying factor needs to be made and be made sooner than later. A resolve of this issue is mandatory for a progressive city to emerge in the future.
Mr. Watkins, Ridgecrest was built around and by people who spent their professional lives working for the freedom of all Americans by improving the ability of the United States Navy's to defend our nation. We don't need Ridgecrest to emerge as a progressive city, we need Ridgecrest to stand as a free city, protecting the rights of all it's citizens. If gaining 2000 new jobs means we have to surrender our rights to property or submit to violence or destruction than Pt. Mugu can keep the jobs. They are not worth having.

Title: Novel Nanocomposites for Piezoelectric and Photoacoustic Transduction Structures
Advisor: Dr. Xiaoning Jiang and Dr. Chih-Hao Chang
Date: Tuesday, November 27, 2018
Time & Location: EBIII Rm# 3235B
Abstract: In this thesis, two types of electromechanical transduction materials/structures were studied, including the nano-patterned electrode and alternating current electrical field poling for enhancing the properties of PMN-PT single crystal and candle soot nanoparticle composite transduction for photoacoustic evaluation. With a brief review of ferroelectric relaxor-PT single crystals, the fabrication and development of nano-patterned electrode was presented. The piezoelectric properties measurements and domain observation results suggest that nanocomposite electrodes are promising for domain engineering of PMN-PT single crystals. The other domain engineering method we studied is ACP. Compared with the traditional DCP method, PMN-PT single crystal with ACP method exhibits 20% higher dielectric coefficient, piezoelectric coefficient and smaller domains. For the photoacoustic transduction material, we propose an efficient broadband light absorption material, candle soot nanoparticles. Combining with PDMS, the energy conversion efficient composite was fabricated. The major accomplishments in domain engineering and photoacoustic transductions are summarized, followed by the future work suggestions.
Biography: Wei-Yi attended the National Cheng Kung University and graduated in 2008 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He earned his M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from National Taiwan University. Following graduation, he was accepted into Academia Sinica (Taiwan) and North Carolina State University (MAE department) as a research assistant for one year, respectively. In 2014 he began his studies toward a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina State University under Dr. Xiaoning Jiang and Dr. Chih-Hao Chang. His research interests include micro/nano fabrication, and ferroelectric single crystal.

Manitoulin has been called "the island that time forgot", and that's just how many of us locals like it. In a world filled with strip malls and fast food franchises, Manitoulin invites you
to slow down and take a breath. Enjoy its natural beauty. Hike on its wilderness trails and go sailing in its many bays. It's the sort of place where multi-generation beef farms are not uncommon,
and where a trip to town means stopping to talk with people who know your name and genuinely care how you're doing. Home to about 14 000 full time residents, Manitoulin's population swells
to around 40 000 during the summer months, when city folks want to take a break and switch to what Manitouliners call "island time". Our population here might be small, but you'd be hard pressed
to find another rural community that's as complete. We've got grocery stores and restaurants, hardware stores, new car dealerships and much more. In fact, the Island has everything needed to make
a life. And that's just what many folks tired of city bustle have done. Whatever you do, if you come here to live, don't change the place too much.
The Garden's Gate is a boutique restaurant located on 15 acres of rural land bordering Blue Jay creek on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. Founders Rose and John Diebolt are looking for the
right sort of new owners for this remarkable business.

Reviews (20)
We had such an amazing stay at Swinging on a Star and are already dying to to go back! The cabin is beautifully decorated and very spacious! The bedrooms were comfortable and cozy, and each had it's own bathroom which was very convenient. The cabin also has a media room which was perfect for our movie night. The game room was also so much fun with the PacMan machine and pool table. I also loved how close it was to downtown Gatlinburg (10 minute drive) and the grocery (5 minute drive), but how it still felt you were in the middle of the mountains. My favorite thing, however, was definitely the views! The views were absolutely amazing with nothing in front of you blocking the view of the gorgeous mountains. Most of our time at the cabin was spent relaxing in the jacuzzi or just sitting in the rocking chairs admiring that view. We had the most relaxing time at Swinging on a Star and cannot wait to return! 24 February 2017 - 23:43:00
I highly recommend swingin on a star to anyone looking for a tranquil setting with a million dollar view. Our family of four and two dogs had our best family vacation thanks to swingin on a star. 01 April 2017 - 17:27:00
Absolute perfection! We felt welcome and at home from the moment we arrived. The cabin was spotless, inviting, and fully stocked with everything that was necessary to make our stay comfortable! The views were amazing. We couldnt have asked for more. 12 November 2017 - 12:48:00
I took my family (wife and 4 kids - ages 6 through 15) last week. We had a fantastic time! There is something in this home for everyone. I never heard the phrase, "I'm bored" once. You can tell that a lot of intentional thought went into the extras for comfort and entertainment. The house was very clean. The view is EXCEPTIONAL. I could sit on the porch all day. You can have a real peace-of-mind if you are renting this property - not always the case with rentals. Extremely close to downtown activities and restaurants and 5 minutes later you feel you are back in the mountains in the middle of no where. I would of gave it 5 stars if it was a little cheaper. It was slightly high (I am admittedly cheap) for my financial bracket. You get what you pay for though, and I have no regret. I don't feel it was overpriced and you could rent for the same $ elsewhere and not get the view and all the extras this place offers. I am now a fan of "Swinging on a Star!" 13 June 2017 - 15:14:00
My wife and I have rented cabins in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area for our anniversary 6 or 7 times in the past 26 years. Swingin on a Star is far and away the best we have stayed in, and the others were really good. The location is perfect! You are mostly isolated in the mountains with a spectacular view, but only 10 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin is VERY clean and everything worked great, except for a small breakdown of the hot tub that was fixed the next day (thank you!). The decorating and attention to detail in every room were absolutely perfect. Both master bed/baths are roomy and well appointed, and the kitchen with granite counter tops is stunning. We will definitely be back to Swingin on a Star! 15 September 2016 - 19:41:02
This property is absolutely stunning! Besides the spectacular views- literally the mountains are your entire view- the privacy, the stillness... Wow! This cabin is luxurious and well-appointed. The cabin itself is beautiful with everything you could ever need, and the furnishings and decorations are inviting and homey. We enjoyed the views off both the upper and lower decks, playing pool in the loft area, the media room, the kitchen, and the hot tub on the deck. There is plenty of room with separate master bedrooms, a fold-out couch, and three bathrooms. This cabin has great WiFi, the latest technology and all of the ammenities. The grill is right off the deck with a beautiful view and surrounded by gorgeous (and private) landscaping. There is conplete privacy in the yard and on the deck, which we loved. The cabin is a few minutes from town, but we enjoyed this cabin so much we never wanted to leave! We love Gatlinburg and this will be our go-to cabin forever! Thanks for making our 10-year Anniversary so special! Swingin' on a Star is the absolute best! 10 August 2016 - 13:18:00
I would give 10 stars if I could! I can not even begin to describe how incredible Swingin' On A Star is!! From the moment you arrive and see the most spectacular view to turning the knob to go inside and find a home beyond words. Cathie is a delight to work with and has truly put a lot of love into her home. You actually feel quite spoiled...the beds, oh so comfy, the bathrooms upscale and the decor is indescribable. Location is perfect, close to everything but you have a feeling of privacy and recluse when at the cabin. We have been visiting Gatlinburg for years and have found GOLD with this cabin. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful retreat and we will be back to Swingin' On A Star for sure! 10 June 2016 - 21:40:57
This was our first experience on VBRO and our first time to Gatlinburg. Swingin On a Star really exceeded our expectations. The decor that went into the cabin is impressive to see if you can ever take your eyes off of the breathtaking view. We brought our little dog, and since it's a cabin that allows pets I was almost expecting it to show evidence of that in some way, but honestly it is quite clean!! Thank you for providing a great getaway for our family! 25 March 2016 - 12:21:00
Home is wonderful - very well cared for and decorated. Kids enjoyed the pool table and arcade. Nice flat drive made winter arrival a breeze unlike some other experiences we saw. Roads were well cared for in winter storms. Only warning is no keurig - so make sure you bring ground coffee ;) 24 January 2016 - 22:54:15
First of all, Cathie, the owner, is very kind and helpful. Any time I needed to ask a question, she would reply immediately. We have stayed in many cabins over the years, & this one beats all. This isn't just a cabin. Every nook, cranny & corner was decorated very tastefully, making for a cozy atmosphere. It feels like a home away from home, instead of the usual cabin. The view is amazing, and my favorite was the area where the grill is outside. There was something very magical and welcoming about that space, and it was super quiet...a great place to meditate on the large rocks. The kitchen was stocked pretty well, as we love to cook and sip fine wines. It's great having the hot tub outside w/the amazing view. And the pool table and rec room were a lot of fun, esp. when it rained. The swings on the porch added to the experience. This is definitely one of the most high-end cabins where we have stayed, and everything is custom-made, from all the light fixtures to towel racks to everything else. Very tastefully done. Warm and inviting. My husband and our friends really enjoyed our stay there. Our little 6-pound maltipoo had a blast, too, and had plenty of grass space to run around outside. We also enjoyed walking around the neighborhood during the day and at night. And it's within minutes of downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, even though you can't here a sound (outside nature) from the cabin. It feels like we're in the wilderness. I would highly recommend this cabin for a getaway. 10 November 2015 - 17:53:42
Wow! Immediate reaction when we walked in the door was that this was one of the few times when something surpassed my expectations, which says a lot considering how much we were looking forward to this vacation. The cabin was in perfect shape, the check in instructions worked perfectly. Cathie stayed in close touch with us the entire time we were there, and even texted us some days to let us know fun things that were available at the time. We didn't go out and do as many things as we planned, but only because the cabin was so inviting, with unbelievable views, we couldn't get ourselves to leave. The only issue we had the whole time was that the motor on the hot tub has apparently burned out during the stay of the guests before us, but that was a friday, and the motor qas delivered and installed again by monday afternoon. If we ever return to gatlinburg, I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else! 09 January 2015 - 17:16:38
Excellent location, unbelievable view, everything you could want while in Gatlinburg. My familys second trip to the same cabin and enjoyed every minute of the trip. The view from the deck is awesome. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a hike, and my kids loved the game room. Swinging on a Star is a terrific place Id recommend to anyone from a family with kids to a couple looking to get away. 26 November 2017 - 21:13:00
Ms. Cathie is so very nice!! My hubby and I enjoyed our stay. Made our 25th wedding anniversary very memorable!! 18 December 2017 - 05:20:00
First of all let me say I am a very picky about quality, luxury, cleanliness, amenities, and overall atmosphere of every place of my travels. Good times for 3 couples in our 40s! Luxury at its best.Enjoyed coffee in the morning with the awesome view. Plugged some classic rock into the radio and played pool and video games for hours.Town was just 5-10 min away. Food City even closer! Streamed superbowl on laptop and enjoyed hot tub evenings with fun conversation with friends! Adirondack chairs looking over one one the best views of the smokies. 08 February 2017 - 01:06:00
We've stayed in other cabins before in Gatlinburg but this one tops them all. You'll know it from the minute you walk in the door. It's very nicely decorated and the high end finishes set it apart from the others. Then you walk onto the deck, all I have to say is OMG the view is amazing. We had the best time. It's close enough to town so it wasn't bad at all. Definitely recommend this cabin. 24 April 2017 - 11:47:00
We are in love with this cabin. We use VRBO for all our vacation rentals and we have never felt more at home than we did at Swinging On a Star. Perfect location, gorgeous views and honestly everything we could have hoped for. Sitting in the hot tub while watching it snow was our favorite part :) We will be returning next year for sure! 16 December 2017 - 16:46:00
Our family spent a memorable Christmas at Swingin On A Star, which was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped for preparing our Christmas meal. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in front of the fireplace during the cold days and nights! The views of the mountains were SPECTACULAR!!!!! There was snow on the mountain tops one morning, which made the view that much more BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The stay was exceptionally quiet and relaxing. The location of the cabin is perfect. Our adult children especially enjoyed the game room and media room. They loved playing pool together along with their Dad. I was so amazed that I took over 1,500 photos of the mountains because every time I looked at them they were changing appearances; from the sunrise to sunset to the smoky appearance to the clear view. It was breathtaking!!!!!! The cabin was clean and cozy. The second we opened the door upon arrival, we knew that it was going to be an enjoyable stay. We would like to thank Ms. Cathie Britt for allowing our family to stay in her beautiful cozy cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains. She was very accommodating, friendly, helpful and nice. We plan on returning to this newly discovered paradise in the fall, Lord Willing. Our family has many treasured memories from our Christmas experience at Swingin On A Star. Words cannot describe our feelings and newly acquired experiences from Christmas 2017 in the Smoky Mountains and our stay at this beautiful cabin. God Bless!!!! 03 January 2018 - 21:11:00
Easy check in and check out process, very peaceful with a beautiful view! 17 October 2017 - 01:21:00
We had to evacuate due to the Hurricane and this was the perfect house to retreat too! It made for a very enjoyable "unplanned vacation" We will be back! 16 October 2017 - 15:49:00
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at this cabin! It was quiet, clean and very comfortable. Any concern (we only had 1 very minor one) was taken care of immediately. We will be booking this one again in the future... 31 August 2017 - 12:10:00

Boy who campaigned for sign language GCSE chosen as Norwich City Football Club's Community Hero for Leeds match
PUBLISHED: 11:24 25 August 2018 | UPDATED: 11:24 25 August 2018
A student who campaigned for a new GCSE has been named as Norwich City's community hero ahead of this afternoon's game against Leeds United.
Daniel Jillings, 12, from Lowestoft, has been deaf from birth. Earlier this year he started a campaign for a GCSE in British Sign Language (BSL) to be introduced in the UK.
The Department for Education previously said no new GCSEs would be introduced in this parliament so the Bungay High School student and his family launched a legal challenge to stop the delay in introducing a BSL GCSE. They raised over £6,000 to help cover the legal costs.
"It is very important to me for BSL to be introduced because I can achieve a qualification that will help me in the future and it will also encourage more hearing children to learn BSL which will make it so much better for us to communicate in everyday life," said Daniel.
"I think it will be a huge change for deaf people; our language will be properly recognised and taught to both deaf and hearing children. Some people may want to study BSL more and maybe work as interpreters or teachers of the deaf in the future. Most deaf children have hearing parents so making it easier for everyone to learn BSL is very important."
Since the campaign was launched, the government has recently backed down on its decision to delay the introduction of a GCSE in British Sign Language by making 'an exception' to its rule during this parliament.
Ann Jillings, Daniel's mum, said: "I am incredibly proud of Daniel, he has shown real passion for his language and deaf culture and he has presented his case very confidently and eloquently throughout every interview. He has shown that deaf people can achieve whatever they set their minds to and that BSL deserves the same recognition as any spoken language.
"BSL was recognised as an official British language in 2003 yet little has progressed in the 15 years since. It is time for deaf children to be able to achieve a GCSE that demonstrates their skills in what for many is their first language."
You can nominate people who you feel deserve recognition for their community efforts or achievements, on the Community Hero page at www.canaries.co.uk.

Pupi Legarreta
Text in englischer Sprache verfügbarInnovative Cuban violinist, flautist, singer, band leader, arranger, composer Legarreta was a key participant in the early 60s pachanga/charanga craze, mid-70s to early 80s charanga revival and New York descarga movement. As a boy he paid for violin tuition by working as a barber, which his father urged him to abandon. Pupi left Cuba in 1959 and joined the USA's second charanga band, Orquesta Nuevo Ritmo, (the first was a short-lived outfit founded by Gilberto Valdés in 1952) organized in the mid-50s by Cuban conguero Armando Sánchez in Chicago. Nuevo Ritmo's personnel included other prominent Latin music names, such as Rudy Calzado and Pellín Rodríguez (vocals), Rolando Lozano (flute), René 'El Latigo' Hernández (piano) and Victor Venegas (bass). With Nuevo Ritmo, Pupi made the single 'Tumba La Caña', the New York recorded The Heart Of Cuba (1960) on GNP and performed at New York's legendary Palladium Ballroom. Mongo Santamaría took over the reins of leadership after Sánchez's departure, adding Jose 'Chombo' Silva (violin/tenor saxophone) and Willie Bobo (timbalero). Based on the USA west coast, Pupi performed on six Fantasy label recordings by Santamaría's charanga (including one with pianist/leader Joe Loco) between 1961 and 1962, and wrote all the arrangements on Ay Que Rico! (late 1962) by the Benny Velarde Orchestra for the same company. Pupi's recording debut as band leader was 1963's Salsa Nova on Tico Records; the title was one of first uses on record in New York of the term 'salsa'. The album featured an impressive line-up, including Chombo (violin), 'El Latigo' Hernández (piano), Osvaldo 'Chi Hua Hua' Martínez (güiro), Carlos 'Patato' Valdez (conga), Totico and Elliot Romero (vocals), Pupi played violin, sang in the chorus and wrote all the arrangements and Tito Puente handled the musical direction. He switched to Remo Records and issued a string of six albums on the label from the mid- to late 60s; particularly outstanding was the Latin jam orientated Pupi En Venezuela (late 60s), which was reissued with three tracks from another Remo release Pupi: Jala Jala under the title Pupy [sic] Y Su Charanga on the UK Tumi label in 1993. 'Superb, long descarga jams of classic folk numbers show how the flute/violin charanga orchestras had progressed from the elegant to the electrifying, ' was DJ Tomek's comment about Pupy Y Su Charanga in Jazz On CD, June 1993. Pupi's second Remo release, Jala Jala Con Boog - A - Loo (mid-60s, aka Salsa), contained his self-penned 'Salsa'; on another track, the guaracha 'Cada Quien', a vocalist describes him as 'El Rey de la Salsa y la Sabor' (The King of Sauce and Flavour). He performed on the noteworthy descarga sets Pacheco His Flute And Latin Jam (1965) led by Johnny Pacheco and Descarga Cubana Vol. 1 (1966) led by Osvaldo 'Chi Hua Hua' Martínez (this album was coupled with its successor Latin Cuban Session Vol. 2, c.1967, on the Palladium label CD reissue Descarga Cubana (1991). A decade later he took part in the classics Cachao Y Su Descarga '77 Vol. 1 (1976) and Dos (1977) by descarga pioneer Israel 'Cachao' López. He signed with Fania Records and released a series of four albums between 1975 and 1980 on their Vaya Records subsidiary, starting with the highly regarded Pupi Y Su Charanga (1975), with Cuban flautist Don Gonzalo Fernández. In 1976 he performed on Fernández's weighty Super Típica De Estrellas, virtually a summit meeting of most of New York's leading charanga stars at the time. Pupi's 1977 collaboration with Johnny Pacheco, Los Dos Mosqueteros - The Two Musketeers, included a remake of his composition 'Salsa'. Pupi became a member of the Fania All Stars, with whom he appeared in the movie Live In Africa (1974; UK title Salsa Madness, 1991), and made his UK debut in 1976. He played on three Fania All Stars' albums between 1978 and 1980, including Habana Jam (1979), recorded in his home land of Cuba; plus their 1986 20th anniversary releases Live In Africa and Live In Japan 1976. In the second half of the 70s he regularly guested on Larry Harlow's albums, including El Judio Maravilloso (1975), Con Mi Viejo Amigo (1976), El Jardinero Del Amor (1976), La Raza Latina (1977, nominated for a Grammy Award), and El Albino Divino (1978). Pupi Pa' Bailar was his last album as a leader in 1980; and by that time the 70s New York charanga explosion had begun to run out of steam. Thereafter, his recording activity diminished to session and arranging work for other bands and artists, including Roberto Torres, Papaíto, Orquesta Sublime, Israel 'Kantor' Sardiñas, Rudy Calzado and Orquesta Son Primero.

Gibbous ♒ Aquarius
Moon phase on 22 June 2035 Friday is Waning Gibbous, 16 days old Moon is in Capricorn.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
Waning Gibbous is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 97% and getting smaller. The 16 days old Moon is in ♑ Capricorn.
Saturday Sat
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 20 June 2035 at 19:37.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2035 after 27 days on 20 July 2035 at 10:37.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 16 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 438 of Meeus index or 1391 from Brown series.
Length of current 438 lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 39 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2035. It is 33 minutes shorter than next lunation 439 length.
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 5 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠354.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠9.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of apogee on 20 June 2035 at 12:30 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 12 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 4 July 2035 at 21:00 in ♊ Gemini.
Moon is 403 810 km (250 916 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 12 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 357 717 km (222 275 mi).
10 days after its ascending node on 11 June 2035 at 20:42 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 26 June 2035 at 11:14 in ♓ Pisces.
10 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
1 day after previous South standstill on 21 June 2035 at 08:16 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.862°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.843° in the next northern standstill on 4 July 2035 at 22:29 in ♊ Gemini.
After 12 days on 5 July 2035 at 09:59 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.

Chang Characterization of Protonated Formamide-Containing Clusters by Infrared Spectroscopy and Ab Initio Calculations: I. O-Protonation 2000 American Chemical Society vibrational predissociation spectroscopy HC protonated formamide clusters NH 4 ab initio calculations 2000-09-30 00:00:00 article https://acs.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Characterization_of_Protonated_Formamide-Containing_Clusters_by_Infrared_Spectroscopy_and_Ab_Initio_Calculations_I_O-Protonation/3721326 Characterization of protonated formamide clusters by vibrational predissociation spectroscopy confirms theoretical predictions that O-protonation occurs in preference to N-protonation in formamide. The confirmation is made from a close comparison of the infrared spectra of H+[HC(O)NH2]3 and NH4+[HC(O)NH2]3 produced by a supersonic expansion with the spectra produced by ab initio calculations. For NH4+[HC(O)NH2]3, prominent and well-resolved vibrational features are observed at 3436 and 3554 cm-1. They derive, respectively, from the symmetric and asymmetric NH2 stretching motions of the three formamide molecules linked separately to the NH4+ ion core via three N−H+···O hydrogen bonds. Similarly distinct absorption features are also found for H+[HC(O)NH2]3; moreover, they differ in frequency from the corresponding vibrational modes of NH4+[HC(O)NH2]3 by less than 10 cm-1. The result is consistent with a picture of proton attachment to the oxygen atom, rather than the nitrogen atom in H+[HC(O)NH2]3. We provide in this work both spectroscopic and computational evidence for the O-protonation of formamide and its clusters in the gas phase.

Ilya Ilyin took another small step towards the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the unlikely setting of Ricoh Arena in Coventry, England when he suffered another defeat but made his best total since his suspension for doping at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympics.
While the domestic highlight of the day at the British International Open, running concurrently with the British Championships, was Zoe Smith's narrow victory in another close 64kg contest with Sarah Davies, the focus worldwide was on Ilyin.
The 31-year-old Kazakhstani is still a long way below the form that earned him gold at both those Games – before he was disqualified and stripped of his medals – and is more than 55kg short of his career highs – 407 in the 94kg class in 2011 and 437 as a 105kg lifter in 2015.
He admits that he has "a 0.1 per cent chance" of standing on top of the Olympic podium again but is working hard towards his 2019 aim of winning a medal at the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Championships in September and moving up the Olympic rankings.
Ilyin made made 165-185-350 in the 96kg at the British International Open, an Olympic qualifier, and given his pre-event target that was a success.
He said he wanted 5-10kg more than the 345kg he lifted in April at the Asian Championships in Ningbo, China, where he finished fifth, 56kg behind home winner Tian Tao.
His next stop will be the Olympic test event in Tokyo in July, where he intends to compete at 109kg – though he is clear that he will go for the 96kg in next year's Olympic Games, should he qualify.
Ilyin was cheered on to the stage but made a bad start, missing his first snatch attempt at 150kg.
He recovered well to make 155kg, then upped his third attempt to 165kg and was clearly very happy to make it and finish first ahead of Kyril Pyrohov, of Ukraine.
But Pyrohov did better in the clean and jerk, finishing on 351kg with six from six, while Ilyin surprisingly missed his final lift at 190kg.
The British champion was Edmon Avetisyan on 329kg.
In that 64kg women's contest, both winner Smith (225kg total) and runner-up Davies (101kg snatch) set British records.
Smith finished 1kg ahead of Davies, just as she had one when she won a European Championships bronze medal in April.
Elena Toma, the European champion at 64kg, competed at 71kg for the first time and won with career-high numbers in snatch and total, finishing 113-131-244.
In a wide-ranging interview with Vesti back home in Kazakhstan before he flew to England, Ilyin explained how difficult it had been to return after nearly two years without training.
When he was provisionally suspended in 2016 it seemed he would be banned for eight years, as he tested positive twice – but escaped with a two-year ban.
The International Olympic Committee sent notification of his 2012 positive to the National Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan in June 2016, a few days before they then sent news of the Beijing positive.
Because the notifications were the wrong way round, Ilyin avoided, on a technicality, what would have been effectively a lifetime ban.
As soon as he heard, he went straight into action early last year at a training camp set up by the Kazakhstan Weightlifting Federation in Romania, where he trained with Rio 2016 77kg champion Nihat Rahimov and Zulfiya Chinshanlo, who is also struggling in her comeback from a ban for doping at London 2012.
"It was hard for me, especially psychologically," he said.
"For about two years I didn't really train – I went to study, and to clean up."
"The first five months were going well, I was gaining momentum, there were good results.
"And then, unfortunately, everything began to fall.
"I am older now and apparently it is necessary to train in a different way because I do not withstand the loads of that (old) system."
He and his coach, since replaced by Anton Moiseyev, did not know what to do.
Ilyin over-trained and "old injuries manifested themselves".
His back pain persisted after victory in the Kazakhstan national championships and the doctor told him if he pushed too hard, he could have severe spinal problems.
That led to Ilyin weighing in without competing at two events, the IWF World Championships and the Qatar Cup, to ensure he was eligible for Tokyo.
"I would hardly be competing," he said.
"To go to the platform with my body in such a state… it's better not to go at all."
In February this year, he went to train in Sochi, Russia, to prepare for the Asian Championships in Ningbo, China in April.
He was in "a pit of despair, at the bottom" because of that earlier over-training, and at that point he appointed Moiseyev – "he understands me, he knows when I need to rest" – as coach.
Ilyin expected to finish seventh or eighth in Ningbo, having finished first in every competition he had entered since 2005, he said "going out there knowing I would lose was the most difficult thing".
When he finished fifth with that 345kg total, he was "surprised and happy".
The Coventry result will help too, but Ilyin said: "I used to say with 99.9 per cent certainty that I would win, and I won, but now I am 0.1 per cent."
He said the public would never again see the Ilya Ilyin of old, but that "I will do as much as possible".
Nor, he said, would they see a repeat of the Kazakhstan of old, the nation that racked up more positives than any other between the Olympic Games of 2008 and 2016.
"The past path is already history," he said.
"We are building a team in a new way, not only in Kazakhstan but all over the world.
"In weightlifting at the moment it is time for a change.
"Therefore, in terms of results, the move is slightly downwards.
"It would be strange if it were up."

The Cocorioko and Daily Nation Newspapers Limited , owned and operated by your humble servant, now have some of the largest forums on Facebook.
As at the time of writing, the Cocorioko Forum of Patriots has 30, 600 members and our number is growing everyday while the fastest growing of our forums is the Daily Nation Forum, which at the time of writing has 34, 262 members. Also growing is our APC Live Forever Forum which now has over 15, 000 members and the Government International Media Network Forum, which is approaching 12, 000. Our Rebranding Sierra Leone Forum has 5, 112 members. Our African Star Football Forum has 2, 523 members. Our Sierra Leone Open Government Initiative ( OGI ) Forum has 1, 733 members.
WE ARE ALSO FOUND ON TWITTER AND LINKEDIn.
What is very important about these numbers ?
One very important answer is that we live in a world of numbers today in a politicized world . Politics is about numbers and the numbers game is crucial in politics . The more people you can reach today with your message , the better for whatever enterprise . Media that control the numbers are able to mold minds and influence public opinion than any forum. We can also win media campaigns and media wars in the courts of public opinion because we now have a much bigger audience to present our case.
Also we live in an INFOMEDIA world . The media do dominate today. The media has grown in influence and leverage in our media-saturated world. Therefore , any media that predominates rules the roost. No media can predominate without a social media presence in today's world.
There is no doubt that being able to reach a cross-section of your country or the diaspora immediately with your message is all media is about in today's fast-paced world . It is critical for opinion -building and consensus -creation, and better understanding of issues through the propagation of different viewpoints . And we are glad that we are now reaching the cross-section of Sierra Leone society, both at home and in the diaspora. Everybody that matters or has an IPhone reads Cocorioko. It is no longer a secret that what we publish in Cocorioko is now read all over the world and in every hook and nook of Sierra Leone. This has been made possible by I-Phone technology , which now ensures unlimited access to social media for people living even in the remote towns and villages. In the past, they needed computers and for the internet to be working. But with telephones now providing internet access , anybody anywhere in Sierra Leone can go online with consummate ease. This is why almost everybody is on Facebook today.
The numbers are also important because it is now very clear that COCORIOKO and the DAILY NATION are now able to reach a far wider audience than print newspapers in Sierra Leone. Only one newspaper we know prints 5, 000 copies . Most of them priny below 1, 000 copies . It is now a fact that online newspapers with a very strong presence in the social media now control far more readership than print newspapers, the reason that many Western newspapers are gradually going out of business. Not long from now, as media experts predict, print newspapers will go out of vogue." If I can read it online, why bother to buy a newspaper ?" This is the argument today everywhere in the world.
The numbers are also important because in today's INFOMEDIA and social media world, he who controls the social media controls public opinion. Any country or government that underrates social media does so at its own peril. That is why today governments are spending millions of dollars to be able to have a strong presence in social media.
What is also important about our numbers in the social media is that majority of our members applied to join our forums. At the initial stages, we added people. However , once our forums took hold, we stopped adding members and waited for people themselves to ask to join. We now get over 100 requests every day and significantly different people apply to join each different forum . This means that , on the majority, we do not have the same people in each forum. While it true that a good number of the same people were members of two or three or all of our forums when we added them , the dynamics changed , once they started applying for membership themselves . We can now say that we have two-thirds of people in one forum who do not belong to the other forum. Therefore , after adding all our numbers , if we deduct numbers to make allowance for the same people being in some forums, we can safely conclude that we are able to reach about 70, 000 different people everyday when we post in our forums. The number is higher when you count non-members who visit our forums or the general readership of Cocorioko newspaper online. This means that we serve thousands or maybe millions of people everyday. Our online newspaper keeps exhausting its bandwidth because our traffic is very, very high. That is a different issue as we reach about 50,000 people outside Facebook daily.
The leverage of reaching these tens and tens of thousands of people immediately we post satisfy us that we are accomplishing our benchmarks.
Also important is that in the business we are involved in (Media ), we do not pick and choose whom we accept to be members of our forums. Some forums choose, but we don't because we want to reach or serve every class of people—professionals, social elites, intellectuals, students, market women, artisans, artaya boys and even waifs .Everybody is important to us because everybody's opinion matters . We want people ,every class of people, to access our posts because of the centrality of our message . And we have largely succeeded .
We are satisfied that we will continue to be a force in Sierra Leone's national affairs , whether people like it or not, especially as the COCORIOKO OPEN FORUM is also returning very soon to add to our mantra . Because of social media which has enhanced and enlarged the capacity and readership of online newspapers, we are not losing much as we continue to delay the launching of our print edition. We will still continue to predominate online and in the social media, where everybody seems to be today. A look at your friends list and membership of forums will tell you that everybody is on social media today . Therefore , we will go all out to continue building capacity in the social media.
In the forthcoming elections , we want to play another huge and commanding role in deciding who enters State House in 2018. By then, we are confident that our print edition may have started operating too. Therefore , whether people love us or not, the message is clear : COCORIOKO IS NOT ONLY HERE TO STAY. WE ARE HERE TO PREDOMINATE. Our banners are flying high and we promise our lovers more to come.
