The social cannot be detached from the political, whether through a saviour-like Modi or a generic aam aadmi
Identity became the big idea of Indian democracy 20 years ago. Mandal, Mandir and Market, or caste, religion and a new economic order, made identity the mantra of what was dubbed India's "second democratic upsurge".
Today, however, the individual dominates, with Modi, Media and Market instead appearing triumphant. The cult of Moditva has replaced Hindutva, emerging as the rallying point of the aspirational. Here, an individual can loom over a party and signal the power of the person to direct, if not change, history. It is precisely why individuals from India's founding moment, from Gandhi to Patel, are being appropriated to announce that a "great man" can change the context. What is at stake, though, is the legacy of Nehru and Ambedkar, who installed state and society as the drivers of Indian democracy.
Enabled by the media and the market, at first glance the individual seems to have replaced the identity politics of the 1990s. Not since the slogan of "Indira is India" has one individual captured political attention in the way Narendra Modi is currently doing. The end of Indira Gandhi's India paved the way for a new sequence of politics, in which society in the form of caste gained political control. In the 1990s, caste blocked the ascendant politics of religion.
Today, Modi signifies the archetypical individual. An OBC leading a pre-eminent party of identity, caste and Hindutva are conspicuously absent from his rhetoric. But it would be erroneous to suggest that this duel is over. The BJP's squeamishness towards the mandir today shows that though Hindutva is the base of its politics, it does not want to speak its name. In contrast, the aam aadmi has become the counter-cult figure to Modi. Like Modi, the aam aadmi is seen to be stripped of his social inheritance, be it caste or religion. The "aam aadmi" notion even wishes to supersede the basic social difference between men and women. The idea of the aam seeks to project ordinariness as common cause and identity. In a country marked by distinctions, a populist victimhood by those in urban and semi-urban India, who have made relative gains owing to market reform, identifies the aam aadmi. The Aam Aadmi Party's individual is depicted as a modest sufferer.
Modi and the aam aadmi signal the immediacy of the present in which the individual, however big or ordinary, is projected to overcome history. Saviour or sufferer, the projected powers of the individual thus are aspirational, extraordinary and potent enough to change history. Such a discourse is an outcome of the mediatisation of politics and in sync with the market. The stupefying power of media has reduced history to a game of symbolic thrones. Mimicking Gandhi's political strategies, the …continued »

Residents of Kigali Sector in Nyarugenge District, together with representatives of various private and public institutions, Thursday planted over 35,000 trees.
This was one of the day's activities as the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Stanislas Kamanzi, flagged off the 'Trans-African Caravan of Hope'-a demonstration movement aimed at calling upon developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5 percent as stated in the Kyoto protocol.
The demonstration that started in Burundi will cover 70,000 kms through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana to Durban in South Africa by road.
"Let's not only plant trees but also take good care of them to ensure that they grow and serve as we expect forests to play a significant role in protecting and conserving our environment," Kamanzi said.
He called upon residents to take personal responsibility and encourage others to get on board in making the environment green.
Speaking to The Sunday Times as Rwanda's organizers of the caravan, ActionAid Rwanda's acting Country Director, Edmond Kabagambe, said the demonstration should send a strong message to developed countries.
"Developing countries contribute less to global warming but are heavily being affected as a result of industrialization in developed countries. Therefore, these countries should respect and take over responsibility to help or finance the mitigation or adoption of climate change effects," he said.
Among the dignitaries who attended the event were Kigali City Mayor Fidele Ndayisaba, Nyarugenge District Mayor, Solange Mukasonga, and the Minister of Internal Security, Musa Fazil Harerimana.
"It is in our plans to plant trees on 300 hectares countrywide, meaning that at least in each district, we intend to plant about 10 hectares," Harerimana said.
The 'Trans-African Caravan of Hope' is organized by the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), a continental coalition of civil society organizations.

These days, depending on your moral/ethical standpoint, you can get damn near anything for free. Music, movies, and now, even iPhone apps (and I'm not referring to those that are priced that way). Oh yes, they're out there – but hold your applause.
However hard it may be to believe, not everyone is thrilled with what these pirates, (read: hackers) are doing – namely, the developers of the cracked apps. It's so easy to forget about the little guy…
Take for example, James and Constance Bossert, creators of Whack 'Em All, (think Whack A Mole, but on your iPhone). They were averaging about 10 buys a day, not exactly brisk business considering that their app only cost 99 cents. On January 4th, they awoke to find they had over 400 new users that day. Jackpot! Not exactly.
The new users were no-good, damn, dirty pirates – acquiring their app for free on the web from a hacker by the name of most_uniQue, (what a unique user name! I should get a vanity plate like that!) James took the diplomatic approach, and opened the lines of communication with the hacker with the following email:
"I'm the developer for Whack 'em All. I noticed you're being given credit for cracking Whack 'em All and making it generally available for free. We (just my wife and I) haven't even made enough money off of this to pay for the iPhone we had to buy to develop it on. Just yesterday 40 times more people got your version of the app than bought it off the app store!"
He asked the cracker why. Why?! Why crack the apps and offer them for free? Well, wouldn't you know it – that crazy cracker replied!
"As many iPhone and iPod touch owners have discovered, Apple's iTunes App Store has many flaws which render it useless to the common user. Apple has chosen to allow a multitude of ridiculous, worthless, poorly-represented applications through its 'strict' screening process, nearly all written by mediocre programmers with a dream of getting rich quick. Many of these programmers game the reviews system, misrepresent their application in the description, and generally try to swindle the honest buyer. Apple could quite easily solve this problem by implementing a sort of trial period for each application, but they do not. The user is forced to buy blindly without ever getting to try the application first."
If the hacker sounds bitter, it's because he is. He claims that he decided to crack iPhone games after getting burned on some purchases that didn't live up to their promised expectations. He figured this would offer users the chance to try the app before buying the app. Unapologetically, he offered the following resolution.
"To solve this problem either talk to Apple to allow trials, or you can release your game on Cydia with ads."
Man, isn't anonymity on the Internet awesome?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The Orre region is the first fully fleshed out region in the Pokemon world to differ from the norm of other games. Unlike other regions such as Johto or Hoenn, Orre has no official Pokemon league or gym system; or any wild Pokemon. Before the events of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness trainers from Orre who wished to form a Pokemon team had to travel or import Pokemon from other regions. After Colosseum wild Pokemon finally started to return in small packs to the region which can be captured in Gale of Darkness by trainers. Phenac City, the only inhabited Oasis in Orre. Orre is a mostly barren desert with a few oases scattered across the land with one lush forest located in the north western reaches of the zone. Because of this there are very few towns or people inhabiting these places and long stretches of desert land where no one, even Pokemon, can be found. Some people have even gone as far as creating an under ground city to avoid the harsh climates of the desert above, though the major city underground was abandoned and sunk deeper into the earth after the events of Pokemon Colosseum. The region is much darker than others and most civilians have an every man for himself outlook on life. Because of this there are many crooks and criminal organizations all with their own twisted goals. Most towns also feature a constant running tournament where trainers can go to prove how powerful they are. During Colosseum these tournaments are also used as a way for Team Snagem to give Shadow Pokemon to strong trainers.

It's actually pretty inacurrate to call this movie Turkish Indiana Jones for a few reasons. Most importantly, people familiar with that insane subcategory of terrible movies, the Turkish ripoff, evident in such crimes as Turkish Star Wars, Turkish Star Trek, Turkish ET and Turkish Wizard of Oz, will not recognize the trademark ineptitude and stolen special effects in Son Osmanli. Also, there are no whips, no idols and no archaeology. I had to grab your eye somehow, though. At least the Turkish part is true. Once you see it, though, you can understand what I'm getting at. The Middle Eastern setting in the earlier part of the 20th century bring about the Indy aesthetic
Up to this point, I don't think I'd ever seen a movie from the Middle East. I've been sitting on a bootleg of Valley Of The Wolves: Iraq, the Americans are evil war movie with Gary Busey and Billy Zane, for a while but I haven't gotten around to watching it. I've also flirted with Bollywood in the past, but the movies are excessively long and from what I've seen in reviews, pretty much always the same story with different pop songs and dance numbers to change things up a bit. Short of the Old Boy remake and Bollywood Fight Club, my interest in that department is pretty low. But Son Osmanli, which translates to The Last Ottoman: Knock Out Ali, is something else entirely. I was shocked by the production values and the weight of the story. It is weighed down by its own tendency to go in too many directions at once, but it gets many things right and is a genuinely entertaining throwback to older action movies much like the appeal of the first Pirates of the Carribean.
Son Osmanli takes place in Istanbul in 1918 as the British have begun their occupation of Turkey. The nation is in crisis and there's a widespread fear that with this occupation, they'll lose their cultural identity. This is the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire. Enter Ali, when we meet him, he's holding up a poker game in the back room of an Istanbul nightclub. He's a scoundrel with a hear of gold, though, and as the movie progresses it's revealed that he was once a prize fighter and a proud member of the Turkish navy until he beat the crap out of a British officer and jumped overboard. Ali is shot when he stops to help some Turkish soldiers who have been abandoned by British troops miles from their home. He hands off some money to the derelict platoon and the British troops demand to know what he gave them. Being the proud Turk that he is, he refuses, starts a fight, shoots a soldier and then barely manages to escape, having been shot himself. This brings him into the care of Osman Bey, a high profile figure in the Patriotic movement in Turkey, opposing the British colonists. His desire to help his country men puts him in Osman's service where he begins sneaking Turkish statesmen out of the city. When he stops an assassination attempt on the charismatic General Mustafa Kemal, he finds a greater sense of destiny and patriotism. All the while, Ali finds his way to back to his old girlfriend, Defne, who is now married, seemingly against her will, to a crooked arms dealer and he must decide between running off to Europe with her or staying to fight the good fight for Turkey. There's also a clumsy subplot about Ali's teacher, who taught him to fight, who blames Ali for the death of his wife.
I don't know much about the background of this character, but it the movie is based on a Turkish comic about Knock Out Ali. How faithful it is to the source material, I may never know, but I do know that it's pulpy and fun. It's also quite effective in making its hugely nationalistic point. At times even I was swept away in the pervasive hooray for Turkey vibe. The British are depicted as savage occupants who spit on Turkish culture at every opportunity. As a matter of fact, just about everyone not Turkish is depicted as a total asshole. It's unfriendly in every way to the British, Armenians, Greeks and so on. I'd rather not get into the racial dynamics of the movie, though. For a pulpy, two-fisted action movie, it voices some bold opinions about neighboring nations.
Despite the racism around the margins, it's still a very likable movie with very likable characters. Ali is very much the dashing hero. He spends much of the movie fucking dudes up. Anyone out to threaten the independence of Turkey can expect a fist in the mouth when Knock Out Ali is around. If they're particularly nasty, they can expect to eat bullets or get a knife in the ribs, too. I wasn't really sure what to expect, violence-wise, from this movie. When it begins, Ali seems to avoid killing people. During his poker game heist, he shoots the gun out of the hand of a protesting victim of his theft and during his escape, he shoots near the British soldiers in pursuit but never really shoots them. It doesn't take long for the movie to change its tone, though. It's not long before Ali actually puts bullets and knives into people and it is suddenly as violent as anything you might find in the west. Despite his penchant for sudden and thoughtless violence, Ali is still a very charismatic character. His actual fight scenes are impressive and he has a tendency to really launch people when he hits them.
The rest of the story works, too. There's the love angle where Ali is reunited with Defne, despite the fact that he has hooked up with an Istanbul prostitute, and the twists and turns of the main plot as Ali works with the patriotic underground to free Turkey are effective. The only part that really dangles is the ongoing subplot about Ali's old teacher trying to find and kill him. It pops into the story at strange times and brings the main plot to a halt. I suspect that it was a major angle in the comic books, but here it's just not necessary.
All told, I was shocked by the high quality of this movie. It gets nearly everything right, has some solid pacing, a ton of great action scenes and when it's trying to be funny, it's actually quite funny. Also, just about everyone in the movie wears a fez, which couldn't possibly be a cooler piece of headdress. This movie got no press in the United States aside from Twitch Film and I think more people should check it out.

Ed Whitacre speaking at the Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas City on April 21, 2010. GM
As GM prepares to move beyond its government bailout as soon as Friday with a $16 billion IPO, here are five reasons why the salvation of the giant U.S. automaker, once considered all but dead, has worked so well.
The GM bailout may be President Obama's finest moment to date.Critics once denounced the bailout as a mere thank-you to his supporters in the unions and predicted that the government-run car company would undermine rivals and churn out cars to suit the tastes of its masters in Washington. They predicted that the taxpayers would lose money in a futile effort to save the company. And by jumping to the head of the line of creditors, the government threatened to set a bad precedent for bankruptcy law.
Well, they were wrong. GM is selling cars at a pretty brisk pace, reporting growing profits, and preparing to fully pay back taxpayers with proceeds from an IPO, should it go well. The bankruptcy process and investors have somehow survived. It's true, GM still isn't quite as robust as Ford, the only one of the three major U.S. automakers to avoid a bailout. It's growth still lags the market, albeit by just a small margin. But one can't imagine GM getting this far, this fast, without federal help. The bailout was a clear success. If anyone thinks that we should undo it and allow GM to risk a long, messy Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 liquidation, please step forward now.
The Obama administration's other initiatives in the economy are a mixed bag. It will be years before the full implications of the health care overhaul and the restructuring of financial regulations are fully understood. Fannie and Freddie are still sucking up more government money, and the Fed announced on Tuesday that it is halting its exit from emergency bailout programs for the faltering economy and more or less starting a second round of stimulus for the economy, which appears dangerously close to a double-dip recession and deflation. The unemployment rate is near 10 percent, a reminder that, so far, Obama's economic plans been only somewhat helpful by pulling the U.S. back from the brink of total catastrophe. AIG remains a mess on several levels. The big banks have repaid their government debts but remain a PR problem and don't seem to be lending out very much money. The bailout of Chrysler is a work in progress. It's still in rough shape.

Although not truly a character, the narrator of The Jungle supplies the most important voice. Because The Jungle is told from a third-person, omniscient point of view, insight into what a character thinks, says, and does isn't available firsthand. Readers are told what happens; therefore, the most telling information readers gain into Jurgis and his family is from the narrator.
Readers need to remember, though, that being all-knowing is not the same as providing reliable or truthful information. The narrator of The Jungle, clearly taking on Sinclair's voice, has a socialist agenda and therefore only reveals what is sympathetic to the socialist cause. The intrusions the narrator makes in the text are glimpses into the thoughts of the characters and they unquestionably shape the characters; readers need to remember to remain objective, especially when the narrator does not. The narrator of The Jungle has a socialist bias, although this bias is not revealed until the end of the text; therefore, readers must understand that the commentary provided during early chapters is designed to make the reader unknowingly sympathetic to the socialist movement.

WITH nuclear power on the ropes in Japan, it could be solar power's time to shine. Minamisoma City in Fukushima prefecture has signed an agreement with Toshiba to build the country's biggest solar park. The deal comes weeks after Japan introduced feed-in tariffs to subsidise renewable energy - a move that could see the nation become one of the world's largest markets for solar power.
Parts of Minamisoma are around 10 kilometres from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and land there has been contaminated by radiation fallout. "Moving away from a dependency on nuclear is of course involved [with the agreement to build the solar park]," a city official said.
Both Minamisoma and neighbouring Namie have called for the cancellation of plans to build a nearby nuclear power plant - although Minamisoma has received $6.4 million over the past 25 years for initially agreeing to host the facility.
A number of Japanese municipalities have started solar projects in recent months. Plans have been drawn up for large-scale solar parks in Hokkaido and Kyushu, while SB Energy began operating two megasolar facilities, in Kyoto and Gunma, on 1 July.
"New solar projects are being generated day by day," says Toshiba's Yuji Shimada.
Solar, wind, biomass and geothermal energy still account for just 1 per cent of Japan's power capacity, however, so Japan has introduced a tariff to encourage investment. Utilities will pay solar energy firms around $0.5 per kilowatt-hour - triple the standard industrial electricity price. The extra money will come through a rise in electricity prices.
Some estimates suggest the move could help Japan leapfrog Italy and become the second-biggest market for solar power after Germany - although business groups fear that Japan's economic recovery will slow as a result of the electricity price rise.
Meanwhile, Japan's nuclear power industry will continue to provide competition. A reactor at the Oi nuclear facility in Fukui prefecture was brought back online as the tariffs were introduced.

Goole Yorkshire Coloured Stickers Dog Fighting Hoax
Message circulating via social media posts and the blogosphere warn dog owners that a dog fighting gang is stealing dogs from households around Goole, Yorkshire and other areas of the UK. According to the posts, gang members are marking houses where dogs live with coloured stickers so that the dogs can be later stolen.
© Depositphotos.com/Lilun_Li
Brief Analysis
The claims in the message are false. The message is nothing more that a mutated version of an earlier hoax that claimed that such a dog stealing ring was operating in Perth, Western Australia. Humberside Police have issued a statement denying any knowledge of such crimes. There is no credible evidence to support the claims in the warning. Spreading false information such as this serves only to raise unfounded fear and alarm in communities. Please do not share this message with others and please let the sender know that the message is a hoax.
This is already happening in the Goole Yorkshire area, UK and could be spreading across the country. This is disgusting!
Detailed Analysis
According to a message that is currently circulating rapidly via Facebook and other social networks, as well as blogs and forums, a heinous dog fighting gang is stealing dogs from households around the Goole area of Yorkshire, UK. The message also claims that the criminal activity described might be spreading to other areas of the UK. The message claims that gang members are taking dogs of all sizes and breeds to be used as bait at dog fighting events. The message also warns that gang members posing as leaflet deliverers or walkers are marking properties that have suitable dogs with coloured stickers so that they can come back later and steal the animals. Supposedly, red stickers are for large dogs, yellow for medium sized dogs and pink for small dogs. The warnings advise residents to call police if they see the stickers and remove the stickers immediately.
However, the message is a hoax and should not be taken seriously. In fact, as the following example shows, the message is stolen verbatim from an earlier hoax that claimed that such dog stealing activities were taking place in Perth, Western Australia. The original Perth version has been dismissed as a hoax by both police and animal welfare organizations.
Any Perth dog owners beware, leaflet droppers or anyone walking around housing estates.
Keep your eye out for small colored STICKERS on gates or doors, gangs are marking how many dogs live there to steal and they are using them for DOG BAIT FOR FIGHTING.
Ring the police immediately if you see any and inform the home owners. Remove the stickers immediately!
Red stickers are for big dogs
… Yellow for medium and
Pink for small breeds.
Please re-share and keep your dogs safe!
Clearly, the perpetrator of the UK version of the hoax has simply removed references to Perth contained in the original version and tacked on the misinformation about Goole Yorkshire. The fact that the would-be warning is an exact copy of another hoax set in a city thousands of kilometers away from Goole Yorkshire cast immediate doubt on its veracity.
And, as with the Perth version, there is no credible evidence to support the claims in the warning message. According to the Hoax-Slayer – New Articles

News & Media
Why is Media Important?
Contacting a media representative with a public service announcement (PSA), media release, or an idea for a radio talk show or magazine feature can be intimidating. But remember: you are doing the media a service by alerting them to important activities that are happening in the community. As long as you treat them with respect, they will appreciate your ideas and your input.
If you want the media to know your chapter, you must first know the media! Pay attention to radio, television, and newspaper reports. Ask yourself why they're covering what they do and make special note of stories related to FCCLA programs.

The noise of Hamptons helicopters overhead continues unabated. The choppers that run between Manhattan and the Hamptons still are flying low and loud. And now the Federal Aviation Administration, which earlier this year said, at long last, it would impose rules to try to reduce the racket made by the Hamptons helicopters says it will delay that for an unknown number of months. It says it needs to study further the 1,000 public comments it received.
The reaction last week to the FAA move was strong. "The FAA has failed in its duty to protect the public," declared Suffolk County Legislator Edward Romaine.
State Assemblyman Marc Alessi, at a press conference interrupted multiple times by chopper noise, announced the creation of a website—www.quietskiesli.com—where information can be submitted on noisy chopper flights.
And Shelter Island Supervisor James Dougherty questioned the FAA's concern for noise-tormented Long Islanders. "I don't have a high degree of confidence," he said. "They seem to be very sympathetic to the pilots and their concerns."
That's at the crux of the issue. In 1968 Congress "vested in FAA's administrator the power to prescribe aircraft noise standards," acknowledges the FAA's website. In 1976, it issued an "Aviation Noise Abatement Policy" which stated: "The federal government has the authority and responsibility to control aircraft noise by the regulation of source emissions, by flight operational procedures, and by management of the air traffic control system and navigable airspace in ways that minimize noise impact on residential areas."
But the FAA is chartered to both promote and regulate aviation. This conflict is emphasized by those who have tried to deal with the FAA on noise. As the Vermont-based Noise Pollution Clearinghouse declares on its website (www.noise.org): "The FAA makes no secret of its role as aviation cheerleader." It notes an FAA publication "with the headline, 'Two Years of Traffic Growth and Profits Too!'" The FAA is "out of balance" when it comes to noise, says the organization.
The "logical solution," it says, is "dividing FAA's roles between more appropriate entities. The FAA should remain the regulator of passenger and aircraft safety. The EPA should be the regulator of environmental quality…The multi-billion dollar airline industry should be the cheerleader of aviation. And local communities should control development of local airports."
Long Island, as the Hamptons helicopter racket unfortunately continues, can play a part in the needed break-up of the FAA—as it did earlier with another federal agency, the Atomic Energy Commission.
In the early 1970s, testifying at and observing AEC hearings on licensing construction of the Shoreham nuclear plant, Congressman Lester Wolff of Kensington was irate at what he saw: an atomic kangaroo court. The AEC was foremost a nuclear cheerleader, Mr. Wolff concluded. He became a leader in the fight that succeeded in 1975 to abolish the AEC and establish in its place a Nuclear Regulatory Commission and have another government entity, now the Department of Energy, take a promotional role.
In the months ahead, as Long Islanders continue the battle against the noisy Hamptons helicopters and prod the FAA to take firm action, there should be an associated effort: to break up the FAA. This might also help spur the FAA to do what is needed.
As Legislator Romaine again called for last week, the Hamptons choppers "must fly no less than a mile off the north shore" and at a "minimum altitude of 3,000 feet." They must be "prohibited from traversing land except in designated sparsely populated areas." And choppers "bound for the East Hampton Airport"—the main landing and take-off point for the Hamptons helicopters—"must fly around Orient Point."
Further, said Mr. Romaine, "the FAA must open up" Kennedy Airport airspace so that the helicopters "can more easily access the south shore route," cruising over the ocean and making the short hop over Georgica Pond to and from the East Hampton field.

Bobcat S70 Skid-Steer Loader Works Easily in Tight Jobsites
Bobcat Company introduces the S70, the smallest model in the company�s line of skid-steer loaders. The Bobcat� S70 replaces the model 463, the twelfth in the Bobcat skid-steer loader family.
The S70 skid-steer loader is 71.4 inches high, 35.4 inches wide and 75.5 inches long without an attachment. These dimensions make the S70 particularly useful for work in tight jobsites. The S70 can fit in many areas where other equipment cannot, whether it is passing through gates on landscape sites, driving through narrow side-yards on a construction job or working in the confined space of barns in agriculture applications.
The S70 has a rated operating capacity of 700 pounds and is powered by a 23.5-horsepower diesel engine that powers a fully hydrostatic, four-wheel drive system with a travel speed of
6.1 miles per hour. With an operating weight of 2,845 pounds, the S70 is also easy to transport.
The S70 provides the same superior performance as the 463 and also incorporates new features, including an updated engine mount, hydrostatic pump centering and belt drive system. The new engine mount reduces vibration in the machine for greater operator comfort. The new hydrostatic pump centering is based on a similar setup in Bobcat mini track loaders and uses a tension spring instead of a torsion spring. This new system reduces maintenance and increases uptime.
The new belt tensioner features more robust components and a simpler design that uses technology from larger Bobcat loaders. A micro, serpentine-style V belt is used in the new belt tensioner system. This belt is more durable and decreases maintenance time.
The indicator lights for the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS) has been moved from the rear of the cab to the right-hand instrument panel. The BICS requires that the operator be seated in the loader with the seat bar down and the engine running before the hydraulic lift, tilt and the traction drive system can be operated. The auxiliary hydraulics will also deactivate when the operator raises the seat bar.
The S70 includes the Bob-Tach� attachment system and a 14-pin attachment control kit. Bobcat is a leader in the design and manufacture of compact equipment attachments and provides 35 attachments that can be used on the S70. These attachments assist customers in a number of markets, from buildings and grounds to construction and landscaping, in performing a variety of labor-saving tasks.
The S70 has a transversely mounted engine and a tip-up cab for easier access when the machine needs to be serviced. The center-mounted, maintenance-free chaincase allows the S70 to travel through deep mud and other areas more easily because of its keel-shaped belly pan. The axle housings are fixed and welded to the chaincase, eliminating maintenance related to tightening bolts or other chain adjustments.
Fifty years ago, Bobcat Company unleashed a way to work better, smarter, faster. During 2008, the company is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bobcat compact equipment, which began with the Melroe Self-Propelled Loader � a three-wheeled front-end loader � in 1958. That machine evolved into the Bobcat skid-steer loader and spawned the worldwide compact equipment industry. Today, Bobcat continues to lead the world in the design, manufacture and distribution of compact equipment.
Bobcat Company, headquartered in West Fargo, N.D., is part of Doosan Infracore International (DII), a U.S.-based subsidiary of Doosan Infracore, a global manufacturer of construction equipment.
QuickLook � Bobcat S70 Skid-Steer Loader
- The smallest skid-steer loader available from Bobcat allows customers to work in confined jobsites, even where space is narrow and ceilings are low
- The S70 is 71.4 inches high, 35.4 inches wide and 75.5 inches long without an attachment
- Rated operating capacity of 700 pounds, operating weight of 2,845 pounds, powered by a 23.5-horsepower engine
- New features include engine mounts that reduce vibration for greater operator comfort, and a hydrostatic pump centering and belt drive that require less maintenance
- Bob-Tach� system allows attachments to quickly be connected or removed from the loader; attachment control kit allows for greater attachment functionality

A Lebanese soldier stands near the remains of an Israeli spying device in the Zahrani region, Monday, July 2, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammed Zaatari)
At first glance, Lebanon might appear like an impermeable country, with an enemy state to the south, and the northern and eastern borders occupied by a country at war with itself. But Monday's events highlight exactly how porous the borders are, and just how easy it is to breach the country's sovereignty.
If the near-daily overflights by Israeli aircraft were not enough, an incursion by Syrian soldiers north of the country, and the detonation of a communications device, believed to have been carried out by Israel, in southern Lebanon, signify how weak Lebanon's borders are, and how inaction on behalf of the government is allowing these infringements to continue.
For years now there has been talk of official demarcation of the border with Syria, with the U.N. and other actors offering their help in this crucial matter. But talk has continued with zero action, and the lack of respect of Lebanon's sovereignty to continue unabated.
For most other countries around the world, were a single such violation to take place against their borders it would understandably be considered an act of war. However in Lebanon, with different political alliances taking divergent sides when such violations are committed, it is nearly impossible for the country to take a unified stance. Condemnations are issued, or not issued, from different actors, but that's about it. Both the president and prime minister issued statements Monday, but the incursions were not even thought worthy of warranting a special Cabinet meeting.
This detached attitude to such violations allows the culprits to continue acting with impunity, and permits them to view Lebanon's borders as a mythical notion.
Linked to this is the issue of undercover spies, whole networks of which have been discovered over the last few years, whether by the Army or by Hezbollah. However, while news of networks discovered by Hezbollah is made public, what happens next is not communicated: whether these spies are tried or set free. They pose a genuine threat to this country's stability, working as they are for Israel, and it ought to be made transparent exactly how they are continuing to operate.
And all of this goes back to the government's failure for months now to address the concrete needs of its citizens, while every day, it seems, Cabinet members declare the safety situation completely under control.
Since coming in to power last year, the government has proved incapable of carrying out any major achievement, let alone succeeding in tackling day-to-day issues, which affect every citizen's life, from traffic to pollution. Many such problems have actually worsened.
And amid an ongoing Arab Spring, the Lebanese people, so accustomed to inefficiency at every level and system of government and governance, have yet to react to this situation with a rightful sense of indignation, which might prompt some overdue government action.

Lose a lovebird? Need a cat?
By Gary Bogue
Monday, October 29th, 2007 at 7:17 am in Animals.
Stephanie found someone's lovebird in her Oakley backyard … and Rita has asthma and has to find homes for her two cats.
The letters below explain their individual situations. Contact information is also included. Thanks for caring. /Gary
Dear Gary:
It was suggested by a friend that I write you regarding a lovebird I found in my back yard, well actually my 7-month-old calico cat found it. It's a beautiful little bird and I believe is recovering well at the Medical Center for Birds in Oakley.
I live on the north side of Teakwood Drive in Oakley. Around 10:30 p.m. last Thursday night I heard a bird squawking, not something you usually hear that late in the day. When I went to my back patio my kitten was carrying it in her mouth as she was walking toward me, then veered away. Luckily the bird got loose and I was able to catch it.
Friday I took it to Oakley Veterinary Medical Center (my vet). Dr. Lafferty examined it, found 2 minor puncture wounds, one near the left eye and one under the right wing, and it's right leg broken. She was unsure as to how to best repair the broken leg, so she took it to the Medical Center for Birds. I have not heard an update since Friday afternoon, but would assume if there were problems I would have heard.
I've posted flyers around my neighborhood. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. (Stephanie Brooks, Oakley, firstname.lastname@example.com)
Dear Gary:
I had another asthma attack and my doctor is pretty adamant that I find a home for my two kitties, Perry & Frankie. My heart won't let me surrender them to an animal rescue group because I want to know where they are going and who their new family will be. If you could mention them on your blog I know some loving person will take them. You can use my e-mail address of email@example.com or my phone number of 925-324-1832 for contact.
My husband and I adopted Frankie and Perry from the Feral Cat Foundation a few years back and they have been wonderful pets. Since that time I've started suffering from asthma and have difficulty breathing, especially at night. The kitties are healthy and are kept indoors at all times. They are about 3-years-old and have been together for two. Both have been neutered. Frankie is a lovable orange and white kitty and Perry is a rambunctious gray tabby. They each have their own cat carrier and hammocks and I know they will quickly adapt to a new loving home. Cats are fickle, aren't they?
If you can help us out that would be great. (Rita Bradt, Walnut Creek)
Thanks for checking this out. I get these kinds of emergency cries for help from time to time and have decided that posting them here on my blog is the best way to deal with it. I don't have enough column space in my daily columns to fit all these in. Whenever I need to post these "help me" letters here, I'll also place a notice in my column telling my readers to look here for more information.
** If any of these animals catches your fancy you and you take one home, please e-mail me and let me know which one so I can tell my readers it worked out. Thanks.
If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please note them under "Comments" below, or you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Just trying to help. /Gary

First, I don't recommend getting a laptop. A laptop is easier to steal,
but an even bigger reason to avoid a laptop is that a laptop's keyboard
and screen make it less ergonomic and you're more likely to injure
yourself. I know someone who has injured herself because of her
I'm not aware of any laptops that are preloaded with Linux on them, but
I am aware of some desktop systems. Walmart.com just started (within the
last few days) selling cheap desktop systems preloaded with
Linux-Mandrake ranging in price from $391 to $648 You'll have to add a
monitor and probably a printer to this yourself. But you can guarantee
that all of the included hardware will work with linux out of the box,
including the modem. This wasn't even true of my computer which I tried
to custom order so that my hardware wouldn't have trouble with Linux - I
had to replace the internal modem to be able to connect to the internet
from home over the summer. For $498, there's a configuration of these
computers that beats the specs on mine.
I personally use Linux-Mandrake. It's a very user-friendly system, and
is one of the most modern distributions out. That doesn't
necessarily make it the best distribution - Debian is generally
considered to be more stable but usually has older software- it's a
As for Windows, I have Windows 2000 installed on my system, but I get
the impression that it's just 5 gigabytes of wasted space. Although I
started the school year using Windows a lot more than Linux, by the
beginning of winter quarter I had almost completely converted. I
purchased my system right when Office XP and Windows XP were beginning
to ship and the corresponding 2000 versions were just ending, so I had a
choice between Windows XP and 2000 and I chose 2000 because I didn't
like Windows XP's licensing arrangements.
At that point I had never used Linux as anything other than the server
side of a web site (I was a webmaster for my high school, but didn't
administer the web server itself). When Windows BSOD'd over that summer,
I had to totally reinstall the system from scratch, and I left room
behind for Linux on my system when I went through this process. If you
get a computer totally preloaded with Windows, then take the time to
make room for Linux before you do _anything_ with the computer. That way
you won't have to back up documents before reformat to make room, and
you won't have to buy PartitionMagic to resize a partition that already
has data on it.
If you're not interested in this point at committing fully to Linux, or
you're squeamish about installing Linux yourself, then you can sign up
for a LUGOD installfest when you arrive in Davis. We can help you to
install Linux, even if you haven't cleared out space on your hard drive
before arriving.

List items
1. Portal 2
This game had me smiling the whole way through
2. Bastion
One of the best looking and sounding games there is. Smooth gameplay and an interesting world seal the deal.
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
There's so much stuff in here. It's mostly great. A talking dog told me off. I fight racist rebels and weirdos with antlers on their hats. Oddly enough, wilderness exploration in Skyrim combines my nerves with my curiosity and makes me hesitant to fire up the PC and ump into the game. But I always do and I rarely regret it. When I take a step back, I sometimes see that what I'm doing is monotonous, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.
4. Saints Row: The Third
This game is DUMB. I love it.
5. Dead Space 2
One of the first scary games I've played. A lot of fun to play and even better to look at. The highlight, for me, was the part on the ship from the original where you encountered no enemies for over a half an hour; I was shaking like a soon-to-be-brain dead baby the whole time. The last boss was bad and the ending didn't go far enough, however. Isaac should have just died.
6. Battlefield 3
Fantastic and often outrageous multiplayer. The game's weak (WEAK) single player doesn't hold it back to badly.
7. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
A really good Call of Duty game, my second favorite. The campaign wrapped everything up really well and was a great sendoff for Captain Price. The multiplayer seems great as well, but I'll probably hate it in a few weeks. Not that that'll stop me from playing it more.
8. L.A. Noire
LA Noire is a strange beast. The gameplay is fascinating, as are the characters, world, and cases. However, Cole's being kind of a bad person and the fairly awful ending sour the game for me. While these aspects bother me, I cannot deny LA Noire's uniqueness, production values, and ability to make me feel like a damn good detective
9. Bulletstorm
10. Dungeon Raid
If this game counted my play time, I'd be pretty embarrassed. Apparently it didn't come out this year, but that's when I discovered it and a few huge updates have come out over the past few months, so I think it's safe to call Dungeon Raid one of the best games of the year.

Faison receives honorary Masonic degree
Bill Faison of Bill Faison Attorney, PLLC, was inducted into The Royal Order of Scotland, a Freemasonry honor society, on May 31 in Charlotte. The society is a centuries-old, worldwide organization that extends membership to Freemasons by invitation only.
The Grand Lodge of the Royal Order of Scotland, headquartered in Edinburgh, governs the fraternal society and has 88 Provincial Grand Lodges around the globe. The Provincial Grand Lodge USA requires membership applicants to be 32nd Degree Masons or Knights Templar, a strict prerequisite compared to many lodges. Applicants must also have at least five years of experience as a Master Mason and a distinguished record of service in Masonic, church or civic activities.
"It is quite an honor to be selected for membership and inducted into this ancient and respected organization," Faison said. Faison received the highest degree the Royal Order confers, that of Knight of the Rosy Cross. Other Masonic leaders in North Carolina who received this degree include Deputy Grand Master Douglas L. Caudle, Senior Grand Warden Bryant D. Webster, Junior Grand Deacon Speed Hallman and Grand Marshal Mack Sigmon.
Faison serves as senior deacon of his lodge, Eagle Lodge No. 19 in Hillsborough. His civic service comes primarily from his four terms as a member of the N. C. House from 2005-2012. Faison's focus as a legislator was on the expansion of broadband capabilities and Internet access for the state of North Carolina and Orange and Caswell counties in particular. In 2012 the SouthEast Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors named Faison a Legislator of the Year for the advocacy work he did to expand high-speed Internet access.
The Provincial Grand Lodge USA was established in 1878 and is based in Charleroi, Pa. For more information, please visit: The Provincial Grand Lodge USA.

Integrated Systems
'Dynamics' signifies the coordination of processes at the systems level.
All natural systems have processes that integrate dynamics at the systems level. In terrestrial ecosystems fire events can cause changes in species composition that favor more future fire events, starting a positive feedback loop that amplifies fire frequency. Small adjustments over many iterative cycles can lead systems to adapt considerably over time to events like climate change or soil fertility decreases. What role do systems dynamics play within systems? Think about what it would be like within an organisation if there was no way for feedback to be given or received by anyone. How would this effect the ability to adjust operations to suit new conditions? How does feedback operate to either enhance or diminish a process within a system? What effect does making small changes over many cycles have versus making a dramatic change over a relatively short period of time? How could you balance existing Dynamics or integrate new ones into a system in your life to improve how it is organisied? How do Dynamics serve to coordinate systems?
The arrows leading around a coordinated circuit illustrate the integration and coordination of processes at the systems level. The two inner shapes represent 'parts' which are encompassed by the larger oval into a 'whole' system.
The Dynamics Pattern is closely related to and serves as an aspect of the Source Pattern, the most foundational organising principle within PatternDynamics™.
Any process that coordinates processes at the systems level.
The Dynamics Pattern represents integrated and coordinated systemic functioning. Systemic dynamics work to refine and adjust the coordination of elements and processes and their relationships through feedback mechanisms, iterative refinements, synergies and spontaneous adaptations. Small changes to systemic dynamics can have great effect and overuse may throw systems out of balance.
The principle of systemic refinement: the enduring health of a system depends on the appropriate balance and integration of the use of refinements to adjust the coordination and integration of system processes, for a given context.
The Dynamics Pattern is a major aspect of Source, the most foundational organising pattern of all systems. Click here to view Charts illustrating Pattern composition and their relationships.
Organism: The human nervous system is constantly taking measurements of ambient temperature which then feeds back to adjust activity levels and the body's metabolic rate. If the iteration period of cycles of adjustment is left too long the system will swing wildly from extreme to extreme. If the cycles are too frequent the system will become stressed from the constant activity of adjustment.
Ecosystem: Coral Reefs are formed by a symbiotic relationship between a calcium carbonate secreting polyp and a photosynthetic algae which lives within its tissues. This dynamic synergy allows these tiny creatures to build vast reef systems. If the individual organisms give up too much autonomy the reef system will lose adaptability. If the different organisms do not cooperate fully enough a reef system will not be possible.
Organisation: Adjustments to business systems over many cycles helps improve organisational performance. If the cycles of adjustment are too frequent, too much energy is used up in making adjustments and not enough is available for productive activity. If the cycles are too infrequent, the organisation may drift off course and lose market share.
Economy: Central banking institutions provide feedback that adjusts the rate of growth in the economy through the manipulation of interest rates. If the central bank cuts prime lending rates too much the economy will overheat as businesses borrow money and expand their operations. If the bank is too slow to cut rates during a slowdown the economy may go into recession.

Is 6 Wynn Macau's Lucky Number?
June 27, 2006 at 4:45 PM | by juliana | Comments (0)
Since we started out the day with Wynn we thought it would be nice to end the day with Wynn...Wynn Macau that is.
Here's an advertisment for Steve Wynn's Chinese hotel-casino in Macau which is trying to be the Asian Las Vegas. This hotel is scheduled to open September 6, 2006 and will have 600 rooms and suites and six restaurants. Hmmm...we're sensing a pattern here.

How's this for a marketing strategy?
Guardian.uk is reporting on the Vatican's latest attempts to keep up with social media.
Tom Kington writes that the Roman Catholic Church "has married one of its oldest traditions to the world of social media by offering indulgences to followers of Pope Francis' tweets."
The article says, "the church's granted indulgences reduce the time Catholics believe they will have to spend in purgatory after they have confessed and been absolved of their sins."

Here is how one source describes the spill:
About 100 employees and contractors working for Sherritt [International Mine] are at the site trying to determine how a wall in the containment pond was breached, propelling a plume of clay, coal dust, dirt, sandstone and shale through two creeks and into the Athabasca River. The company couldn't say Monday when the walls were last inspected.
The sediment is on its way down the river to Fort McMurray which draws its drinking water from the river. The officials say there is no risk but have, as a precaution, warned people not to drink the water of let animals drink either.
Meanwhile the report notes another spill:
Much farther east, the Alberta Newsprint Company's mill in Whitecourt, the only paper mill in Alberta, was shut down by the spill over the weekend, but was back in operation early Monday.
"It's just one of those things," Woodlands County Mayor Jim Rennie said. "It's unfortunate, but I think it is being handled as best as it can be."
Maybe this is just the statistics of risk. Consider these numbers from the report:
The Alberta Energy Regulator said Monday no similar incidents involving coal mine containment facilities has occurred within the past five years in the province. There are four coal processing plants in Alberta, with seven containment and recycling facilities.
Or maybe as the mayor says, it is just one of those things.
Nobody seems to know when the facility that failed was last inspected, although in most jurisdictions an annual inspection is required. If one was done, the report should be a public document. Maybe some enterprising journalist can track it down for us.
By now we have three such failures in Canada in 2013. Here is how the third was reported:
Aurizon Mines Ltd. reports that during a routine evening inspection of the tailing ponds on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, at the Casa Berardi Mine, located approximately 95 kilometres north of the town of La Sarre, in the Abitibi region of northwestern Quebec, it was discovered that there was a breach of an internal tailings dyke which resulted in a surge of liquids and suspended solids over the external tailings dyke. A majority of the material was contained inside the tailings pond containment area and no further discharges into the environment have occurred. The Casa Berardi Mine has four tailings containment ponds and the material flowed from one tailings pond into another tailings pond, neither of which are in use for current operations.
It cannot be that such failures are occurring only in Canada. I suspect that they are occurring elsewhere too, but we just do not get word of them as a result of limited press. If this conjecture is true, then the actual rate of failure of mine tailings facilities is much higher than the official figures. Time to count & calculate again I suggest.
True the three failures noted are but small and not of great newsworthiness. But they do remind us of the perils of managing tailings facilities and the ease with which failures occur. Maybe due to inattention; maybe failure to inspect; maybe poor management; or maybe just statistics. I bet the operators ascribe failure to Black Swans.
I found this one the HuffingtonPost;
Operation at the mine was suspended last year, due to what's believed to be overwhelming economic and market pressures, and is currently undergoing reclamation.
Maybe they were just too busy with closure to notice facilities that were open.

Transfer Credit
Many students come to Gwinnett Tech with some college credit already under their belts. In fact, more than 30 percent of our students have one to three years of college credit and almost 10 percent have a bachelor's degree or higher.
The GTC Registrar's Office evaluates transfer credit after you are admitted to the college. GTC has a defined policy for the evaluation and awarding of college transfer credit, military transfer credit and advanced placement/standardized examinations credit. This policy reflects our mission to anticipate and exceed the educational and workforce training needs of our community. Our central focus is to prepare students educationally, personally and professionally for successful careers.
Our procedures ensure that only college level, degree/diploma-applicable course work is eligible for transfer credit; that military transfer credit is considered only for demonstrated competencies deemed comparable to college-level learning by the American Council on Education; that advanced placement and standardized examination credit demonstrate collegiate-level equivalency; and that such demonstrated competencies are comparable to GTC course learning outcomes and consistent with transfer credit policies and standards.
The following process outlines the steps taken to determine your exemption or transfer credit:
An official written record (transcript) is required from regionally accredited a post-secondary school which verifies a minimum grade of "C" in all courses for which you are seeking transfer credit to your program of study.
Official transcript with score(s) earned is required for Advanced Placement and Standardized Examinations from the College Board in order to receive exemption credit
An evaluation of courses for transfer credit is required. Comparable course-to-course transfer may be accepted based on demonstrated learning competencies consistent with GTC courses, program of study applicability, and credit requirements.
If a written course description or syllabus is needed, it will be your responsibility to obtain appropriate documentation.
Transfer credit for military service schools is awarded based on the American Council of Education (ACE) recommendations as listed in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and the approval by the appropriate department chairperson/program director.
Gwinnett Tech reserves the right to rescind previously awarded student course exemption under appropriate circumstances where conditions warrant.
Testing (written and performance) may be required. Other types of evaluations such as written testing and performance testing may be conducted on a program basis if, in the future, the need for such testing is indicated.
Notwithstanding the above steps, all transferred course credit is subject to review and final approval by the Program Director.
Students are required to take 40 percent or more of their program's course work credits from Gwinnett Tech if they wish to graduate from Gwinnett Tech. Online courses offered by Gwinnett Tech count towards that 40 percent; online courses offered by other technical colleges count as transfer credit.
In addition to receiving credits, courses can also transfer back out from Gwinnett Tech to a University System of Georgia institution (Georgia State and the University of Georgia, for example) or another technical college. Several freshman-level core courses are guaranteed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities throughout the state, and vice versa. (Read about the statewide transfer agreement and the courses that are included.)
Click here to request a copy of your official transcript.
Instructions to request expedited transfer credit evaluation
All students who have been accepted to Gwinnett Technical College and previously attended other postsecondary institutions will receive a transfer credit evaluation in order of college and program acceptance date. This can take 4 to 6 weeks depending upon proximity to start date of term.
Students who need to expedite their transfer credit evaluation may do so by following the instructions listed below. Priority will be given to students who request an expedited transfer credit evaluation.
Please submit an email with the information that follows to email@example.com
The Subject of the email must state: "Expedited Transfer Credit Evaluation Request." Please include all of the required information below in your email. Incomplete transfer credit evaluation requests cannot be processed.
Your Full Name (s) (First Name, Last Name)
Please include any names used while attending previous institutions.
Your GTC Nine-Digit Student Identification Number (ID#)
Gwinnett Technical College Program of Study named on the application to which you were accepted and the Program Code (ex: Accounting Degree Program - AC03).
If you have a second major and both applications have been accepted, please include the 2nd Program of Study and Program Code as well.
Name, city, and state of all previous postsecondary institutions that you have attended.
Processing Time
Transfer credit evaluations are performed on current "accepted" applications only. Transfer credit evaluations are not performed on program applications in "pending" status. Transfer credit evaluations will be processed within 2-5 business days from the date your email request is received.

but there aren't many good fights at 170 - 205 for Nick. Yes there are a lot, but if you take out guys on title runs, and guys that would destroy Nick (Glover, Rumble, Machida, to name a few) the list is small. Maybe Bader?
Would love to see Nick fight Bisping.
or even Tim Kennedy or Rockhold
Nick vs anyone who is not a wrestler is good in my books.

Kenya Sevens coach Mike Friday has asked the Kenya Rugby Union to ensure top players are available for the reminder of the IRB Sevens series.
Friday is disappointed that he couldn't field the likes of Collins Injera, Oscar Ouma and Biko Adema for the Port Elizabeth Sevens, where Kenya gained a paltry five points after a flying start to the to the series at the Gold Coast and Dubai.
"It was disappointing to be without the four experienced players. I have been asking the union to work out their schedule for the end of the year but nothing has happened. I tried to have Mike Wanjala on board but he was tied down by examinations and this hampered our performance in South Africa," added Friday.
The tactician said the team lacks the intensity and defence and the opposition capitalised on this in South Africa.
Kenya won two games and lost one hence dropped to the bowl category due to an inferior goal difference against Wales and Argentina, who both qualified at the expense of Kenya.
He cited the 33-14 defeat to Wales as costly. "We had a couple of individual mistakes which Wales exploited and moving forward to the new year, I hope the players know what is required to be competitive," added Friday.
The coach welcomed the return of former skipper Humphrey Kayange back to the squad but said the talismanic player has to improve on his conditioning and fitness for the reminder of the series. "Kayange knows the bar has been set high by our conditioning coach and I know he will get there," he noted.
The team resumed training over the weekend and will train this week before breaking of for the Christmas and New Year holidays. They resume on January 3.
Kenya face France, Argentina and Tonga in the IRB Wellington series on February 1-2 in New Zealand. The side is currently sixth on the log with 37 points.
Elsewhere, Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) demolished Kisumu RFC 45-8 to go top of the Kenya Cup League standings. The bankers overpowered the Lakeside outfit to send a warning to the rest of the sides in the league that they are hungry for the title.
Second row Brian Sagara scored KCB's opening try, which was converted by former Kisumu player Jacob Ojee for a 7-0 lead. Winger Peter Kilonzo put the bankers 12-0 up, scoring an unconverted try from open play before Felix Wanjala reacted quickest to a spilled Kisumu ball in the try box, grounding the ball with Fabian Olando converting for a 19-0 lead. Essau Otieno's penalty for Kisumu reduced the deficit to 19-3 heading into the breather.
