Walking New Cross (4): Jerningham, Ommaney, Musgrove, Troutbeck and Arbuthnot Roads
Starting out from the bottom of Jerningham Road (opposite Sainsburys) we are in the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area. On the right stands Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham School, the girls school opened in 1891 to supplement the original school buildings higher up the hill in Pepys Road. Robert Aske was a haberdasher who bequeathed funds to the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers in 1688 - two hundred years later they bought land with it and built a school in his name on the site.
Everybody with a child within a five mile radius of this school has incredibly strong opinions about it - generally consisting of parents slagging it off while trying desperately to get their children into it. The school too has a very high opinion of itself, with Hogwarts-lite gowns and a school motto of 'serve and obey' which has not been altered in the light of twentieth century horrors inflicted by those who thought unquestioning obedience was a virtue. Still sometimes I have to remind myself - and would like to remind both the school and some of its critics - that it's only a comprehensive school in New Cross for god's sake.
Further up the road, on the corner of Ommaney Road, this wall features children's hand prints in white paint.
A bit further up again, on the left, is a secret garden or so I see it. Behind a barbed wire-topped wall trees and bushes are in bloom. In fact it's a reservoir, but for how much longer is unclear. Thames Water have sold the site to St James Homes (a company they originally set up) who have put forward plans to build housing there.
60+ people attended a public meeting in September 2006 to discuss alternative uses for the site, but I'm not sure what the current status of plans is.
Arbuthnot Road runs across Telegraph Hill all the way from Jerningham Road to Gellatly Road. The top end, between Pepys Road and Jerningham Road, features the original Victorian railings that most of the houses in this area would have had at one point.
In most other roads these have all but disappeared, apparently scrapped early in the Second World War when the government encouraged people to donate metal for the war effort.
There is further evidence of the war on Ommaney Road with the council blocks of Jerningham Court replacing war damaged housing.
Like Ommaney and Arbuthnot, Musgrove Road runs between Jerningham and Pepys. I have always been intrigued by the wall at this house on the corner of Musgrove and Pepys, it has what appear to be bricked up windows - but why?
Near the Jerningham Road end there are some Aske's school outbuildings, apparently built on the location of a house where the poet Robert Browning lived. In the 1840s, this was still set in countryside. Browning 'could hear lambs bleating in the fields… From his window he could see the chestnut tree by the pond, the holly hedge along the lane, the shrubs in the garden and the fruit trees overhanging the garden wall'.
It was from here that Browning sent love letters to his fellow poet Elizabeth Barrett prior to their elopement, sometimes including a rose from the garden. There is a plan to place a plaque for Robert Browning somewhere on the school site, surprising that is hasn't been done before.
Troutbeck Road runs from Musgrove Road, a short street of 1930s housing which features a grade II listed building - this K2 telephone kiosk. There are two other similar boxes in the area, on Jerningham and Waller Road.
The Robert Browing information comes from 'Robert Browning's London 1812 – 1889', Browning Society Notes, Vol. 19, 1989. This article identifies the location of the Browning family home as on the site of 4-6 Musgrave Road, now demolished like Browning's home before it.

I think those apparently bricked up windows were built that way. The brick within the window frames appears to be the same colour and age as the rest of the brick on the side of the house. I suppose they were probably built like that as decoration to break up the big blank brick wall that would have been there otherwise

I guess you're right, presumably it would have been difficult to put windows in this wall because the fireplaces/chimneystacks are at this end of the building.

Actually, it's probably due to the window tax.

- Transpontine said...
I doubt it, the window tax was abolished in 1851 and this house was probably built in the 1890s.

NHL Rumours: Hurricanes eye Leafs' Gardiner
The Leafs' previously kicked the tires of Dallas Stars centre Vernon Fiddler, whom Stars GM Jim Nill said is no longer on the block.
The Isles' disappointing Pierre-Marc Bouchard hit the waiver wire Monday, but his $2 million price tag might be too steep.
The Sun's Bruce Garrioch also reports that Florida owner Vincent Viola is pressuring GM Dale Tallon for "answers" beyond moving RFA-in-waiting Dmitry Kulikov.
More goodies: The Rangers' asking price for defenceman Michael Del Zotto is a top-four blueliner in return, which leads one to believe Del Zotto will hang around until closer to the trade deadline.
And Carolina Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford, who is offering up at least Tim Gleason, is not only interested in Del Zotto but would like to snag Toronto defenceman Jake Gardiner.
The Hurricanes have five defencemen on expiring contracts, including the stay-at-home Ron Hainsey. But with the Leafs looking for a centre, we can't see Carolina parting with a Staal brother or Toronto wanting Manny Malhotra, whom they could have had for nothing in the off-season.

CLEVELAND -- More than 16,000 people splashed into the Greater Cleveland Aquarium during its opening weekend.
Kayla Ott, marketing manager for the aquarium, says 5,544 people visited on Saturday, while 10,518 guests dove into the attraction on Sunday.
Click here to see dozens of pictures from inside the aquarium
Ott says they allow 300 people in every 15 minutes with a maximum capacity of 1,100.
While many people have used the aquarium's Facebook page to discuss their enjoyment of the new attraction, others are posting their disdain for the admission prices: $21.95 per adult or $15.95 for children ages 2-12. Annual passes are also available for $50 per adult, $90 per couple or $130 per family (two adults and two children). Parking is $3 Monday-Friday and $5 Saturday-Sunday.
In response to concerns regarding admission costs, Ott says their ticket structure came from researching other aquariums and comparing pricing.
"We are on the low end for aquariums," she explained in an e-mail.
The Greater Cleveland Aquarium is located in the FirstEnergy Powerhouse at 2000 Sycamore St.
It is open Monday-Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. (last admission at 5 p.m.). It will take an estimated 90 minutes to make your way through the entire attraction.

This dishwasher was a new install in a home that previously did not have a dishwasher. It was purchased as part of a 4-piece kitchen suite. DESIGN The design/aesthetics of this dishwasher is fantastic, especially for the price paid. The contrast of black and stainless steel go well together, so the unit is pleasing to the eye. I've only had mine installed for a little over a month now, and have had several compliments on it and the rest of my Frigidaire suite. It has fairly basic features/controls, not all the bells and whistles like other units. However, that is to be expected with a unit that's more budget-friendly. The only design flaws I see with the unit are the door handle/latch and the vent - the door latch is easy to engage in order to open the door, but there's very little to grab on to; you have to use your fingertips to get the thing open. a door latch with a bit more curvature and a front-facing surface would provide more grip for the user. The vent is located in the door in such a way that the hot, heavily most steam flows right to the underside of my countertop, which is a laminate. The exposed wood underneath is getting a bit wet, which concerns me a bit. How long will it take for the material of my countertop to get soggy/waterlogged? Luckily, I'm single and live alone, so the dishwasher only gets ran about once a week. FEATURES Like I mentioned before, this dishwasher doesn't have a lot for features. However, this is to be expected for a lower-cost unit. I'm pleased with what is offered on this unit, and it gets the job done! QUALITY The quality of this fridge isn't surprising - for a budget-friendly unit, the quality is about as good as it gets. Many factors affect the bottom line of a product from a business standpoint - quality of raw materials, workmanship, and manufacturing/assembly techniques are key. For a unit of this design and features available, the quality is pretty high. However, I do have a couple of concerns on this front as well - the door latch/handle and the stainless steel front cover. The door latch is cheap plastic (like the whole upper console on the door). Because of the feel and sound of the latch when opening and closing, I'm convinced the latching mechanism itself also has several (if not all) plastic components. Over time these will wear out, and eventually the door latch will no longer work - either locking you out of your unit, or making it impossible to lock and wash dishes. The stainless front cover is nice appearing, but don't play rough with it (I feel sorry for families that own this and have kids/pets). It is very thin gauge material and will easily dent/crease. This ties in to the bottom line cost of the unit in relationship to quality...stainless steel isn't cheap. I'd recommend that this cover be thicker in the future. It also seems that the stainless cover isn't mounted the best - I fear that, after my dishwasher gets "broken in", I will start to hear vibratory noises due to the stainless cover and the way it is mounted. It would have been a good idea to use some adhesive foam rubber on the backside of the cover to isolate vibration from the unit reaching the door. All in all, this is a good solid unit for someone looking for a dependable, low-cost dishwasher that will last at least a few years, if not longer. Having good quality water, using easily dissolved detergents, and gentle handling of the door and controls will ensure this unit will last.

Poor Quality Product

Dishwasher leaves a constant film on all dishes, not a hard water issue. I can't remember the last time I saw my plates or drank from a glass that was actually clean
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Poor Product
By wresler120
The dishwasher leaked from the beginning. I was unable to use it for the first month as the dishwasher leaked from the front door. I had to use the warranty for 2 separate repairs before I ever even used it to wash a load of dishes

The direct positive paper looks like it is just as easy to develop as the RC variable contrast paper. This is a big plus. Neat stuff, worth a serious look.
The pinhole is critical - you take charge of that and make all the pinholes the same. If kids made pinholes they'd be big and small and there would be more exposure mistakes.
So you send 5 kids out with 5 pinhole cameras and maybe 3 from the group comes out OK. You could still make copies just the same from one of the prints that came out to another sheet of direct positive paper.
Your original plan is fine too, if you want to stick to it. You make prints from the best paper negatives. Guaranteed results.

Climate Change Research
Climate Change Research
In view of providing support to the CAP and the Climate Change policy agenda of the European Commission, studies are being implemented in AGRI4CAST that assess the impact of a changing climate on crop yields in Europe, that identify vulnerabilities and resilience of crop production systems under a number of climate change scenarios, and evaluate different adaptation measures to mitigate the impacts identified.
Agriculture has a dual role in terms of global change: It is an important emitter of greenhouse gases, while at the same time it is one of the main sectors to be impacted by climatic change, with local, regional and global implications for the stability and access of food supply. AGRI4CAST investigates impacts on agricultural yield levels with simulations of BioMA-based models forced by chosen climate change scenarios, concentrating on short-term and medium-term time horizons (e.g. 2020, 2050).
Climate change-related activities of AGRI4CAST also explore regional vulnerabilities in agricultural production and effects of selected adaptation strategies to mitigate climate change effects as well as impacts of selected soil organic carbon mitigation measures on agricultural production, thus supporting the Europe 2020 flagship of a Resource Efficient Europe.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Mortar shells have hit a cafeteria at Damascus University in Syria. And according to state media and Syrian officials, at least 15 people have been killed, with 20 others wounded.
Rebels began firing shells at the capital earlier this year, and the attacks have become increasingly common in recent weeks.
State-run TV says the mortar shells struck the cafeteria of the university's architecture department.
There's no claim of responsibility for the attack, which came two days after rebels pounded Damascus with mortar shells that left at least three people dead and wounded dozens.
The shelling has shattered the air of normalcy that the government has tried to cultivate in Damascus. In recent days, rebels have struck deeper than ever into the heart of the city, to try to loosen President Bashar Assad's grip on his main stronghold.

Doctor warns city faces a diabetes 'time bomb'
Posted: April 12, 2013|
A LEADING health specialist has said if nothing is done to tackle the rising diabetes problem in the city, Plymouth is looking at a "time bomb".
Latest figures have revealed there are 12,409 people in Plymouth diagnosed with diabetes – and the figure is increasing by an average of 1,000 people a year.
Around 90 per cent of those diagnosed have Type 2 diabetes, which can be caused by being overweight, and around 10 per cent of people diagnosed have Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition which cannot be prevented.
According to national charity Diabetes UK, people are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes if they are overweight, have a large waist, have a close relative with the condition, or are from a black, or South Asian background. But the charity says being overweight or obese is the biggest risk factor.
Dr Patrick English, consultant in diabetes at Derriford Hospital, said that whilst the figures are in line with the national average, they are still "alarming". He said something needs to be done to "radically" change the way diabetes care is delivered in the community.
"It is important to highlight just what a drain diabetes is on NHS resources, and it's only going to get worse," he said. "It's time to look radically at changing the way we manage diabetes in Plymouth and with the new NHS changes which have just been implemented it's a great time to do something about it. This really is Plymouth's last chance.
"The city has fallen behind in the way it manages diabetes care in the community compared to other cities and we have a real opportunity now to do something about it. If we don't manage the situation differently our costs are going to spiral.
"It's absolutely imperative that we get on with this and change. If in a year's time nothing has been done we will be even further behind and it will be a challenge to catch up. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes is a real challenge in itself and we have to deliver medical care differently. If we don't, we are looking at a time bomb."
Dr English said that whilst Derriford Hospital has been recognised by NHS diabetes as an exemplar site for inpatient diabetes care, there is a clear need to look at the way diabetes care is provided in the community and is hopeful that working with the new Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be a step in the right direction.
He added: "To really improve outcomes we've got to talk about preventing diabetes. We have to work with local communities to change those lifestyle behaviours that increase the risk of diabetes and other poor health outcomes."
A spokesman for NEW Devon CCG said: "Improving diabetes care is a priority area for the western locality of NEW Devon CCG and like Dr English, we are keen to develop relationships to look at the way diabetes care is delivered in the locality."
Cabinet member for Public Health and Adult Social Care, Cllr Sue McDonald said: "Tackling the causes of diabetes is vitally important for the health of the city and it's an issue for all of the health services to address, trying to encourage people to live healthier lives and help them access support to do so.
"There are major changes to health services locally and this gives us an opportunity to ensure a citywide approach to the early identification of people at risk of diabetes, prevention measures including weight management and physical activity, screening and support."

Proposed tax reforms likely to spur debate
By RICHARD MOODY
An advocate at the People's State of the State rallying for fairer taxation in the state. The governor's new plan for tax reform includes a zero rate income tax for manufacturers upstate, expansion of estate tax exemptions, a two year property tax freeze and a property tax circuit breaker. Several aspects of the plan have sparked controversy among lawmakers and progressive lobbyists.

January 13, 2014
The tax policy reforms proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo at the onset of the 2014 legislative session have received mixed reviews from lawmakers, advocacy groups and pro-business organizations.
The governor's new $2.2 billion tax relief plan unveiled during a press conference in Albany last week and reiterated in his State of the State address consists of several tax cuts, including property tax credits for manufacturers, expanding the exemption threshold for the estate tax, a renter's tax credit and a conditional two-year freeze on homeowner's property taxes that would transition into a circuit breaker system.
To qualify for the property tax freeze, local governments will be required to adhere to the governor's ultimatum: stay within the 2 percent tax cap in the first year and in the second year take concrete steps toward consolidating with other local governments or share services with them.
"It is time to stop making excuses. It is time to start making progress. If the locality wants the state property tax credit it must perform," Cuomo said in his State of the State speech.

After the second year of the property tax freeze, a property tax circuit breaker will take effect. The circuit breaker is a tax credit based on a homeowner's income. Households making up to $200,000 will receive the tax rebate if their local government stays within the 2 percent tax cap. The freeze will not apply for New York City but the circuit breaker will be statewide.
"The main tax burden in New York state is not the income tax; it is the property tax. We raise about $40 billion per year from the income tax and we raise $50 billion from the property tax. And that is the tax you will hear New Yorkers complaining about from one end of the state to the other," Cuomo said in his speech last Wednesday. "As a matter of fact no matter how you look at it, New Yorkers don't just pay a high property tax; they pay the highest property tax in the United States of America."
Cuomo's plan also includes a tax break for renters across the state earning up to $100,000. The break will be in the form of an income tax credit.
While Senate Republicans voiced support for some of Cuomo's proposals, they say New York needs even more policies aimed at helping the middle class.
"In addition, the governor and Assembly should join us in supporting a permanent state spending cap along with a dedicated fund for ongoing tax relief, and legislation making the middle-class tax cut permanent," said Senate Republican Conference leader Dean Skelos, R- Rockville Centre. "Our three-year commitment to spending less has created a surplus. This surplus should be returned to hardworking, middle-class families and used to encourage businesses to create new, good-paying jobs across the state."
Assembly Democrats warned that while the plan provides relief for hardworking homeowners, the governor should keep in mind the programs that still need funding.
"Governor Cuomo has presented a bold vision for providing tax relief for hard working men and women across New York," said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan. "As I have said in the past, any proposal should be premised on a principle of fairness to all New Yorkers — city residents, suburbanites and rural residents alike. At the same time it is important that we have the resources necessary to fund vital health and education programs which are the bedrock of New York's quality of life. I look forward to working with the governor and with our colleagues in the Senate to craft a fiscally responsible budget that meets the needs of our state's most vulnerable citizens while at the same time providing tax relief for those who need it most."
Cuomo proposed expanding the threshold to be eligible for estate tax exemptions. Right now estates worth less than $1 million are exempt from the estate tax. Cuomo proposes extending the eligibility to estates worth up to $5.25 million and lowering the top rate to 10 percent.
"New York is one of only fifteen states with an estate tax and our exemption levels are among the lowest and our rates are among the highest. Let's eliminate the "move to die tax" where people literally leave our state, move to another state to do estate planning. We propose raising New York's state tax threshold and lowering the rate to put it into line with other states," Cuomo said in his speech.
Some groups showed concerns regarding several aspects of the governor's plan, specifically the expansion of estate tax exemptions.
"At a time when New York has the worst income inequality in the nation and record levels of homelessness, child poverty, hunger and long-term unemployment, providing gratuitous tax cuts for millionaires is counterproductive," Ron Deutsch, executive director of New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness, said. "The governor's estate tax restructuring proposal to give hundreds of millions in relief to the wealthiest 200 families in the state is unconscionable and misguided," Deutsch said.
Progressive advocates likened Cuomo's plan to "voodoo economics."
"How many times does history have to prove that tax breaks for business and the wealthy don't help working and middle class New Yorkers?" asked Karen Scharff, executive director of Citizen Action of New York. "If the state's leaders really want to reduce property taxes, they should adequately fund our schools and municipal services - not give away precious state dollars to corporations and those inheriting multi-millions. We need a tax plan that works for all of us, not more voodoo economics."
Cuomo's plan would also provide tax cuts for manufacturers and corporations. Manufacturers would receive a refundable property tax credit equal to 20 percent of the manufacturer's annual real property taxes. The corporate income tax would also be reduced to zero for upstate manufacturers.
"Let's go to the upstate manufacturers because we need manufacturing jobs in upstate New York and let's cut the corporate tax in upstate New York to zero all across upstate New York, period. Why, because you cannot beat zero my friends and it is a competition," Cuomo said in his speech.
According to a report released by the Governor's Office to supplement his speech, New York businesses paid more than $18 billion in property taxes in 2012 over a third of all property taxes. The property taxes are not tied to the profitability of the business making them as the report states, "An especially onerous barrier to growth for start-ups and other young businesses so critical to New York's future."
Cuomo also proposed merging the bank tax with the corporate franchise tax and lowering the rate to 6.5 percent. According to the Governor's Office, the merger will bring the tax code up to date with the financial services industry and eliminate disincentives for financial firms to invest in the state.
President and CEO of the Business Council of New York State, Inc., Heather Briccetti applauded the governor's proposed plan and the relief it would provide for businesses. The organization represents large and small firms' interests across the state.
"The importance of the tax relief component for manufacturers cannot be overstated. The loss of manufacturing jobs is one of the main reasons the upstate economy has struggled. This is an important step in the right direction for upstate, and New York as a whole," Briccetti said.
Billy Easton, executive director of the Alliance for Quality Education, showed pessimism towards the governor's tax relief plan. "Governor Cuomo's tax plan front-loads tax breaks for banks and wealthy estate owners with money that our classrooms sorely need. The average millionaire estate owner would receive $128,000 in taxpayer subsidies. Instead, it would make more sense to spend this money on libraries and teachers in our kids' schools," Easton said.
Cuomo praised the progress of the past three years and expressed hope for the future in his State of the State speech. "We stopped talking and we started doing. And in three years my friends, you have reversed decades of decline and made dramatic and undeniable progress. For the first time in modern political history the state has real fiscal discipline, we have held spending to 2 percent. And because we spent less, we could tax less and we did. Every New Yorker pays less income tax today than the day they did three years ago when we started this journey," Cuomo said.

madhuri dixit slide show
Madhuri wanted to become a micro-biologist - however that just wasn't destined to be. An offer from Rajshri Productions brought Madhuri her first role, the film `Abodh' (1986) released and forgotten, it wasn't until godfather Ghai saw Madhuri and gave her a tiny dance sequence in `Karma' (1986), that things improved. The dance sequence was omitted from the final cut. Ghai promised Madhuri better roles, on the condition that she stop doing tiny roles in insignificant films. Thus, Ghai gave Madhuri `Uttar Dakshin', and then a proper launch in `Ram Lakhan' (1988). Ghai also took the step of putting an eight page advertisement in the trade magazines featuring Madhuri, proclaiming that producers of the calibre of Boney Kapoor, Yash Chopra and six others had signed Madhuri for their forthcoming projects. It was all together another matter that none of the forementioned producers had signed Madhuri for their films.
Madhuri however, didn't have to wait for Ghai's `Ram Lakhan', N.Chandra's `Tezaab' and ek, do, teen char took the nation by storm, Miss Dixit had arrived, and the whole world knew. Tezaab went on to complete a golden jubilee, and was thus a bigger hit than Ram Lakhan.
A superb performance followed in Dil (1990) - which brought Madhuri her first Filmfare award, a rapport was struck with Indra Kumar which resulted in two more blockbusters Beta (1991) and Raja (1995). 1990 onwards, a hit film per year followed including Saajan, Khalnayak, Prem Pratigaya, cumulating in Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), hindi cinema's biggest blockbuster to date. Madhuri mania ensured the success of `Raja' (1995), a film with many flaws, thus Madhuri was renamed `the female Amitabh Bachchan'.
Unfortunately after the success of `Raja' (1995), Madhuri's films started to collapse at the box office. Yaarana, Rajkumar, Prem Granth, Mahaanta, one after the other. Luckily for Madhuri she gained praise for her performance in `Prem Granth' (1996) and for her looks in `Rajkumar' (1996). By now it had dawned on the industry that Madhuri's lataks and mataks ensure a films success, not.
The presswallas had by now written Madhuris obitury, and annouced that it was time for Madhuri to pack her bags and get married. An issue was made of Madhuri co-starring with Akshaye Khanna who was younger in age to Madhuri in Mohabbat. It was also widely stated that Madhuri favoured films produced by her secretary Rikhu, even though all of Rikhus productions failed at the box-office. Madhuri was never far from controversy, her much publiced affair? with Sunjay Dutt caused a storm, when Sunjay's wife issued a press statement proclaiming her desire to have Sunjay back. The Choli ke peeche song in Khalnayak also caused a stir. With women liberation groups asked for a ban on Madhuri. After the not so great Koyla, director Rakesh Roshan stated that Madhuri could no longer play the youthful type, and continued to make unsavoury comments. Madhuris response was a dignified silence. Madhuri is on top of the league when it comes to being unaffected by what is written about her. Very rarely if ever has Madhuri retaliated to comments made about her in the press, by either journos or collegues.
Prakash Jha's `Mrityudand' (1997) ensured critical acclaim if not box-office success, Madhuri still had the fire that was shown in Tezaab, the intensity that came to light in Beta. Age, said the industry was catching up, Yash Chopra's Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), proved otherwise. A phenomenal success at the box-office, mass acceptance by the audience. Madhuri never looked better, danced better or acted better, her latest offering was indeed her best till date. Madhuri went on to win a handful of awards for her performances in Mrityudand and Dil To Pagal Hai, and even dedicated her Filmfare award to her critics.
In 1998 Madhuri had only one major film to her credit CN Chandra's Wajood, unfortunately the film failed to recreate the hysteria of Tezaab (1988). 1999 it seems will be Madhuri's golden year, for an actress who rarely trends the path of unconvential roles, this year has Madhuri in a host of different characters. MF Hussain's `Gajagamini' is an art film that has Madhuri playing a range of characters. In Boney Kapoor's `Pukar' Madhuri's got a negative role, as well as the usual dose of triangular love stories, Madhuri's first south Indian film, `Engineer', is a techno thriller.
She didn't quit films after marriage. She gave us a splendid performance in Pukar.
Then after a short gap, she came back in Lajja with a super performance which bagged her the Best Supporting Actor award in the Lux Zee Cine Awards 2002.
Her Hum Aapke Hain Sanam stars Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, and
Aishwarya Rai
(in a special appearence) and she's all set to give better and better performances in the future.

Middle East: Vatican plays down expectationsComment on this story
Vatican City - Pope Francis told Israeli and Palestinian leaders they "must respond" to their people's yearning for peace "undaunted in dialogue" during an unprecedented prayer meeting among Jews, Christians and Muslims at the Vatican on Sunday.
The pope made his vibrant appeal to Israeli President Shimon Peres and his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud Abbas at the end of a two-hour evening service in the Vatican gardens, an encounter he hopes will relaunch the Middle East peace process.
"Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare. It calls for the courage to say yes to encounter and no to conflict; yes to dialogue and no to violence; yes to negotiations and no to hostilities," he said.
The pope spoke after Jewish rabbis, Christian cardinals and Muslim Imams read and chanted from the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran in Italian, English, Hebrew and Arabic in the first such inter-religious event in the Vatican.
At times the chanting made it seem that participants were in a synagogue or outside a mosque in the Middle East rather than a primly manicured triangular lawn, a spot the Vatican chose as a "neutral" site with no religious symbols.
In his strong speech in Italian, Francis called for respect for agreements and rejection of acts of provocation. "All of this takes courage, it takes strength and tenacity," he said.
Francis, who made the surprise invitation to the two leaders during his trip to the Holy Land last month, said that the search for peace was "an act of supreme responsibility before our consciences and before our peoples" and noted that millions around the world of all faiths were praying with them for peace.
"We have heard a summons and we must respond. It is the summons to break the spiral of hatred and violence, and to break it by one word alone: the word 'brother'," the pope said as Peres and Abbas listened intently and read the live translations.
He said the children who have been the innocent victims of wars and conflicts made the search for peace an imperative. "The memory of these children instills in us the courage of peace, the strength to persevere undaunted in dialogue," Francis said.
It was the first public meeting between the two presidents in more than a year and took place more than a month after United States-led peace talks collapsed amid bitter mutual recrimination.
Peres, who is 90 years old and whose mandate expires next month, departed from his prepared speech in English and Hebrew to say that he was an old man who had "seen war" and "tasted peace" and that all leaders owed their children a better future.
Abbas prayed to God "to bring comprehensive and just peace to our country and region so that our people and the peoples of the Middle East and the whole world would enjoy the fruit of peace, stability and coexistence".
The pope, the two presidents and Patriarch Bartholomew then planted an olive tree and members of each delegation shook hands as music played. The four later held private talks for about 20 minutes before the two presidents left the Vatican.
The Vatican has played down any expectations that the meeting - billed as a "pause from politics" - will lead to any immediate breakthroughs in efforts to solve the region's tortuous problems and says it is not meddling in regional issues and does not want to get involved in details of negotiations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the key Israeli decision-maker, is not attending and he refuses to deal with the Palestinian unity government, backed by Hamas Islamists, that Abbas swore in last Monday.
Netanyahu has made no direct comment on the meeting, but in remarks on Sunday at a paramilitary police base in Jerusalem he suggested that prayer is no substitute for security.
"For thousands of years, the people of Israel have been praying for peace daily. But until peace comes, we will continue to strengthen you so that you can continue to defend the State of Israel. Ultimately, that is what will guarantee our future and will also bring peace," he told the troops.
But the fact that Francis's bold move has managed to bring together the two presidents at all shows his desire to engage political leaders, offering inter-religious dialogue as a building block. - Reuters

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino was lost for words after his side suffered their first league defeat at home in nearly two years as Valencia came from behind to win 3-2 at the Camp Nou.
The Catalans had appeared to be coasting to a routine victory as Alexis Sanchez put them in front after just seven minutes, whilst they also missed a host of other chances in a slick performance during the opening half an hour.
However, the game swung in Valencia's favour in a crucial four-minute spell just either side of half-time as Dani Parejo slotted home an equaliser before Pablo Piatti's looping header gave the visitors the lead.
Lionel Messi briefly levelled for Barça from the penalty spot before Paco Alcacer struck the winner as Valencia counter-attacked efficiently just before the hour mark.
And Barça's miserable day was summed up when Jordi Alba was sent-off against his old club 13 minutes from time.
"I was anxious to consolidate our early advantage because the game is not over until the referee blows the final whistle and it felt like we stopped after half an hour," he said.
"This week I said that at this stage of the season you pay a heavy price for any errors and today we committed a lot of errors.
"Probably Valencia's first goal caused us to lose a bit of confidence. In the second-half that made us a bit more desperate, which in turn made us commit more errors. We seemed like one team in the first-half and another in the second."
Defeat means that a victory for Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid against Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao respectively on Sunday will knock Barça off top spot for the first time in a record 60 league games.
The Spanish champions have now also dropped seven points in their last four league games and Martino is demanding his players fight back in their quest to retain the title.
"I would say to them that everything continues, that we may lose the leadership of the league, but that we will still continue to fight. We need to play like we did in the first half hour.
"We will try to recover the lost ground on our title rivals. We conceded chances to Valencia and they took advantage of them. We need to keep going and keep in mind how much this hurt us today."
The result was even more remarkable given the chaos at Valencia as they shipped out five senior players in the final 48 hours of the transfer window.
Moreover, before Saturday, Los Che had the third worst away record in La Liga winning just twice in ten matches.
And coach Juan Antonio Pizzi is hoping their fightback will prove to be a turning point in their season.
"A win against this team, at this stadium, is a huge confidence boost for us," he said.
"We still have a lot of work to do and time to do it. You don't create an identity in ten games, let alone 90 minutes. We need to keep picking up points whether it be at home or away.
"We noticed at half-time that we needed to compete more and we corrected that in the second-half.
"In the second-half we were very good and dominated the game. We didn't suffer that much at the back and every counter-attack we had looked dangerous."

Topic: Kurosawa's Ikiru 35mm Print!! @ The Plaza Nov 1&6/2010
Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru
7:00pm, Monday, November 1, 2010
12:00pm, Saturday, November 6, 2010
The Plaza Theatre · 1133 Kensington Road NW
35mm · B&W · 143 mins · Japanese w/ English subtitles
Kurosawa returned two years later with his caring and poignant rendition of personal struggle to find meaning in life. The sad protagonist in Ikiru (1952) is "an aging widower, a petty government official who has done nothing but shuffle papers and pass the buck for thirty years." (Crowther, 1960) Struck with cancer, the man determines to redeem himself for his past inaction by wholeheartedly devoting himself to the completion of a single counter-bureaucratic endeavour: getting a children's playground built before he dies. Though Kurosawa's technical genius often shines through the heart-wrenching emotion, it only serves to deepen our empathy for his characters; his humanism is thus at its peak, and his film is essential viewing because of this alone.
You see more human nature and more Japanese customs in this film—more emotion, personality and ways of living—than in most of the others that have gone before.
Bosley Crowther, 1960, New York Times

I have seen few people wanting to become a member but because they don't own a credit car or their cards are packed up etc, they can't register. Just go to a Shopper's Drug Mrt store or any other store and buy a minimum of 25 dollars Pre-Paid Master Card (That's the minimum amount they are offering). Master Card is not like a Visa Card. They don't charge any interests. They only charge a $3.95 one time Activation fee. You have to call the Master Card at their 1-800 number and activate the card then waite a maximum of an hour, then go and register and pay on line. Then you are good to go. After paying the first membership for first time, Netflix can charge your next payments, the first of each month from your Paypal account, if not u can use your pre-paid master card to continue to pay. Good luck

The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter, which arrived at the Red Planet earlier this year, has been somewhat overshadowed by two successful landers and one failure: NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers 1 & 2 ("Spirit" and "Opportunity") still crawl along the Martian surface, well beyond their scheduled end-of-mission; conversely, the ESA's "Beagle II" lander, which was carried on the Mars Express, plummeted to Mars and destruction. When the lander crashed, much of the media seemed to forget about the orbiter, either focusing on the NASA missions or the controversy around the failed Beagle II. But the Mars Express mission, despite the lander disaster, has nonetheless been producing some valuable science (as well as some great photos). The most intriguing reports concern methane.
In March, scientists on the Mars Express mission reported finding small concentrations of methane in the Martian atmosphere. The discovery has been tentatively confirmed by Earth-bound observers using spectrographic equipment (although their findings have not yet been published in peer-reviewed journals). Methane in the atmosphere is odd, however, for a number of reasons. Ultraviolet light destroys atmospheric methane fairly quickly, in planetary terms -- on the order of a few centuries. That means that the methane couldn't have been a leftover from Mars' past. In addition, methane is produced on Earth from one of two sources: geological activity and biological activity. But there's little evidence of active geology on Mars: the volcanos appear dead, and surface lava is millions of years old. Still, low levels of geological activity can't be completely ruled out.
Now comes word that the Mars Express team has mapped the Martian methane concentrations and discovered that they align startlingly well with measurements (by NASA's Odyssey orbiter) of what appears to be water-ice just under areas of the Martian surface.
National Geographic and New Scientist have more details. With the possible water-methane correlation, the idea that Martian atmospheric methane has a biological origin takes on greater weight, as water would be required for microbial methane production, but not (necessarily) for geological production. In addition, the Mars Express team has very cautiously noted that they may have also identified atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and formaldehyde, which are also strongly correlated to biological activity. Those results have not yet been fully reviewed.
All of these arguments remain controversial. The Odyssey water-ice findings are based on second-hand evidence, and the methane findings haven't yet been confirmed by broadly-accepted research. It is quite possible that all of these readings are false, or have an explanation far more prosaic than continued geological activity or Martian life.
Mars researchers will evaluate any and all possible alternative explanations before accepting any of this as signs of extant Martian life. That's not out of stubbornness or a refusal to accept the possibility; it's simple due diligence. For something this big -- the discovery of life off of Earth -- they need to be certain, absolutely certain. There's a good chance that, even if life is there, scientists will come up with a well-grounded non-biological explanation for the results, and the question of Martian microbes will remain open. In that case, we keep searching.
You know... assuming this pans out and there's life up there, the next question is: "is it related to us?"
DNA or RNA based would probably indicate that somehow panspermia happened: life travelled across the solar system, or bits of martian life-bearing debris fell on earth or the other way around.
Unrelated would likely mean that, well, the universe just throws up life in any odd corner! What exciting times!
OK, I must amend myself. There are two ways to end religion on Earth. I thought archaeology was it (show moderns how incredibly primitive the people who developed religion are, by comparison, and perhaps even shock them with ancient practices).
Running into aliens counts, too. So, astrophysics?
I can hear the arguments now... "Oh, that's just bacteria from Earth that we brought there ourselves"
You might be thinking of "Christianity" when you say "Religion."
Both Hinduism and Buddhism have a long tradition of belief in the existence of other world inhabited with intelligent life, and travel to and from such worlds either by meditative power (???) or in starships.

Inequalities in Literacy in Jammu and Kashmir
Regional disparities in literacy levels were rightly emphasised in the recent Jammu and Kashmir Finance Commission report, with Jammu having achieved a literacy rate of 73% and Kashmir only 65%. However, this note argues that differences between districts and education zones, and more importantly, between different socio-economic groups are more real and sizeable. These can be traced to high dropout rates among schoolchildren, owing to the numerous direct and indirect effects of over two decades of conflict.

2013-14 record: 13-19, 8-8 Western Athletic (4th).
WAC tournament: Lost to Bakersfield in first round.
NCAA tournament: Did not appear.
Key players: Senior guard Clarke Rosenberg played in all 32 games, starting 22, and will be fifth-year coach Tracy Dildy's first four-year player. Rosenberg averaged 14 points — second on the team — and was named 2014-15 preseason second-team All-WAC. Six other letter winners return. Despite the relative youth Dildy said, "This is going to be one of our most talented teams."
The talk: Last year's 8-8 finish in their...

Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed that his ideal woman would be like his mother.
The actor, who plays J. Edgar Hoover in the new biopic who had a domineering mother, has admitted that his own mother is the most important thing in his life and when he dates – he is looking for similar qualities.
Leo, who has dated a string of beautiful women including Gisele and more recently Blake lively, always compares them to his mum Irmelin.
"My mother is the centre of my life. To have a woman like that in your life, who is strong, who'll be honest with you about who you are... that's something I treasure. And it's something I look for in a woman," he explained.
At the moment Erin Heatherton is the lady who is keeping Leo's bed warm – let's see if she passes the test! But she probably shouldn't pin her hopes on getting the 'Titanic' down the aisle because he's not sure about getting married.
"I don't know whether I'll ever get married. I've seen too many supposedly happy marriages go down. I've been as shocked as anyone," he told the Daily Express.
"No one can look at the marriages of other people and make a judgment. I don't know the private lives of the actors I work with. I just know if they are good actors or good directors."
Leonardo and his pals on the beach...

Looks like some good work, although I think the recoil is a little bit extreme on some of the weapons! :-)
Also, why can't the soldier with the rifle melee? Surely he could use it to stab enemies?
For us folks who like to stay Free and use the Blender 3d program over every other costly options!
Summary of updates for 2012: unit types, first outdoor map, pathfinding, plus what's next.
Posted by anomalous_underdog on Jan 5th, 2013
First of all the biggest improvement is that the 3d model I use for the soldiers in the game is now textured.
This 3d model, for the most part, is still a placeholder for the different unit types in the game.
Right now we have three unit types:
Your standard ranged unit. Can shoot far. Wields a rifle in both hands and can't do melee attacks.
Equipped with a hand cannon (blunderbuss). Does frontal assaults and uses his hand cannon as a blunt weapon for melee attacks.
Lightly equipped soldier wielding a pistol. The scout can traverse steep terrain where others have a hard time travelling. In the future, he'll also be equipped with a grappling hook so he can help other units who cannot otherwise climb walls and buildings.
As you can see, I'm currently reusing the same 3d model for all unit types. Once the game goes further along I'll take the time to create unique characters.
Another major update is the addition of a new outdoor map taking place in a hillside with a tower outpost.
With this, I needed to add pathfinding to the enemies as they were mindlessly bumbling across impassable terrain.
You can read more about the technical stuff about it here.
This was how Tactics Ensemble looked like first, at the start of 2012:
And this is how Tactics Ensemble looks like as of the end of 2012:
Hopefully 2013 will also be a good year for Tactics Ensemble.
Here's what I've been working on next, the Shieldsman unit.
Shieldsmen are armor-clad soldiers carrying retractable tower shields. They serve as the tank unit in the game.
I won't create the Shieldsman character yet, only his shield, and I'll reuse my soldier 3d model again for the time being.
I got carried away and made this also:
Kingdom Death and Dark Souls are a big influence to me.
Other than that, big glaring deficiencies in the game is the GUI, from the GUI in the battle screen, to the main menu, scenario selection, and everything else.
I can't depend on Unity to finish their new GUI system anytime soon, and using the current GUI system is a pain to use. I can't buy 3rd party GUI systems either like NGUI since I don't have any means of purchasing online.
Well, I'll work something out.
Looks like some good work, although I think the recoil is a little bit extreme on some of the weapons! :-)
Also, why can't the soldier with the rifle melee? Surely he could use it to stab enemies?
Haha, I'll tweak them as I go along. That map's pathways are narrow so they can actually fall from the pushback right now...
For the rifleman, its just for game balance, he's extremely useful as a ranged attacker so I need to give some sort of disadvantage somehow. Every unit needs to have their own pros and cons so the player learns to make them work as a team.
The nice thing though is that this unit classes thing is temporary. The plan is that the game will let you customize each of your unit's skills (like in FF Tactics), so yeah, maybe you can have a rifle-butting rifleman later. Perhaps bayonets too, etc.
Thanks for the swift reply! Yeah, I thought you prevented the melee for balancing reasons, but it just seemed a bit unrealistic.
Can I just say, that shield idea (last picture) is EPIC! There's a guys head in it and everything. lol
