STAR WARS ~ Yoda's First Journey
The Dark Lord Reaper foresees a prophecy that his galactic Empire will be overthrown by two unknown residents of Gentooine. One of these residents is called Yoda, who lives on a humble Iriaz farm with his step-daughter, Esme. Little do they know of their spectacular destinies, until a mysterious ship lands in the forest not far from their homestead.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....
An Imperial warship, five-hundred-feet long, and shaped like a dagger, glided through space in deadly silence. It was a Star Destroyer, a war craft with the power to destroy entire star systems! For a government that ruled with fear, it was a near-perfect weapon, and the Empire was that government.
Swarming in through its' main docking bay, were one-man ships that had come from star systems all over the galaxy. They had been drawn by a powerful command, and that command had none other than Lord Reaper's himself!
Lord Reaper was the most dangerous man in the galaxy, and when he commands,
only fools disobey. But, his rewards were handsome, if you pleased him, and in today's case, the reward was ten thousand credits. Drawn by this prize were some of the galaxy's slimiest mercenaries. They were the money-hungry, the cunning, the
adventurous, and the blood-thirsty.
They landed their ships in the docking bay, climbed down, and stood in a
smart line where they awaited Lord Reaper's arrival. There was quite a lot of activity going on, on the other side of the bay.
A line of strangers waited their turn, about to be made into new recruits. Some were handed weaponry, and for all of them, uniforms of grey or olive-green, depending on rank. The weapons and uniforms were all imported. They had arrived in crates which were stacked,
neatly, to the right of the room. The man assigned to the importing job was only seventeen years old. This man's name was Charles Rogue. He had green eyes, dark-brown hair, and a confident sort of smile. He wore a grey uniform with a matching cap. Charles Rogue was tailed everywhere by a silver and purple R2 unit. Occasionally, the R2 would make suggestions for where the crates would
stack better, rather to the annoyance of his owner. Rogue picked up a smaller box and casually made his way over to the line of bounty hunters. As he reached them,
something distracted him. He turned his head to look and accidentally bumped straight into one of the bounty hunters. The box he was carrying slid of
his hands and fell with a crash, its' contents tinkling everywhere.
"Watch it!" the hunter snarled.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry – I am so, so sorry," Rogue gabbled, patting the
man down and hastily gathering his dropped items from the floor. He straightened up, arms full.
"Clear off, loser!" the other hissed, and shoved him away.
"Yes, sir," Rogue said, shortly. He turned and made a swift bee-line back the way he had come. The bounty hunter's eyes followed him, irritably.
Rogue moved behind some of the largest crates, most of which were taller
than he was, and disappeared from view.
Once he was hidden, he dumped the box and rubbed his hands together,
gleefully. His R2 unit glided up to join him. Rogue grinned back.
"I got it!" he said in a loud whisper, and held something up.
It was a holopad he had stolen from the bounty hunter he had bumped into. The patting down after his collision had all
been a cover up.
"Keep an eye on the others for me," Rogue whispered.
The droid tittered and revolved on the spot to peep round the edge of
the crate. The unit's full name was R2-MO, but Rogue simply called him 'Mo'.
Rogue turned the holopad over and over in his hands, but he didn't play
the message just yet. He had further business to attend to before then.
While Mo spied on the bounty hunters, Rogue watched the recruitment line.
He couldn't help noticing an awful lot were becoming stormtroopers and
fighter pilots.
This was hardly surprising, as the Empire forever demanded
soldiers. Then, something unexpected caught his eye: There was a person in the cue who he recognised.
"It's Jade!" Rogue said, astonished.
Mo wheeled back to him and made a short, questioning trill.
"Jade Intrepid," Rogue replied, "I met her in Moss Eisely. She worked in the cantina,"
Mo deployed a video sensor from his domed head, so he could see over the
tall crate.
"She's the blond in the red uniform," Rogue explained. Mo wolf-whistled.
"Shut up, you!" Rogue grinned, and looked back at Jade Intrepid.
At first, he was pleased to see her again, but then, his eyebrows knotted
as the obvious struck him: What the hell was she doing here?
He knew that she had always been a bit of a bad girl, but, this was the
Empire for crying out loud! Jade Intrepid was a bit taller than he was, and she had one of those willowy figures. She had a proud, intelligent-looking face, pale
skin, light-blue eyes, and platinum-blond hair, drawn up in a fancy knot. She wore a blood-red uniform, knee-length boots, and a matching cloak.
Too cool!
Rogue had to drag his eyes away from her to stop staring, and looked over
at the lines of sinister-looking stormtroopers.
They stood, feet apart, arms by their sides, motionless.
Rogue raised an eyebrow at them, and looked the bounty hunters and back
Something didn't add up.
"Why does Lord Reaper summon bounty hunters when he's got plenty of stormtroopers?" he wondered aloud.
Mo answered in a stream of sophisticated beeps and sniggered.
Rogue grinned back.
"Stormtroopers can shootstraight," he said, "just not in the right direction,"
Mo giggled and chattered a bit more.
"Damn right our job's better than theirs," Rogue said, tipping his cap, "and we get paid better for it," he added, smugly.
Mo slowly swivelled his head, as if he looking over his shoulder, and then his tone changed completely. He made a low, nervous sort of whine.
At this, Rogue's confident smile melted.
"Don't worry," he muttered, darkly, "We'll be well out of here beforehe finds us. He should arrive soon,"
He peered round, warily, for any sign of Lord Reaper, but there were
only officers marching from room to room.
Mo made another nervous whimper.
"They say he's the most powerful man in the universe," Rogue said, shifting
his shoulders, uncomfortably. Mo drew a little closer to him and Rogue patted his head.
Suddenly, he noticed that Jade Intrepid was second in line for recruitment and he paid close attention. He had to find out what she was doing here.
The recruitment officer was a surly-looking man. He too had a holopad, like the bounty hunter's, and he projected details of the applicants, one by one, to assess.
A seven foot tall cyborg of solid metal was first in line.
"Applying for the position of Sith," the officer read, dully.
The cyborg smirked, confidently, but the results turned out to disappoint.
"Move along," the recruitment officer said, flatly, "You are not Force
He tapped a button on his pad and the word 'DENIED' flashed red.
"WHAT!" the cyborg bellowed, "Denied?! What do you mean 'not Force sensitive?' LOOK at me! It don't come more forceful than this!"
Behind the ranting cyborg, Jade Intrepid stifled a cough.
The man-machine whirled round and glared at her.
"You laughin' at me, little one?" he growled.
Rogue was amazed to see how calm Jade Intrepid looked.
"You haven't a clue what you're talking about," she answered, coolly, her
arms folded.
The other snorted. "Enlighten me," he said, mockingly.
"It doesn't take brute strength to use the Force. It takes faith, commitment, a ton of patience, and a mountain of discipline,"
"Keep yapping and I'll give you a mountain of pain!" the cyborg snarled.
"Perhaps we could have you on the front line?" the recruitment officer
said, loudly, breaking up the discussion.
The cyborg bared his metal teeth at Jade Intrepid, but he slowly turned
back to the officer and agreed. The man made a signal and three stormtroopers staggered up, carrying a weapon so big it took their combined strength to carry it.
The cyborg lifted it, effortlessly, in one massive arm.
Even from their hiding places, Rogue and Mo ducked (or rather, Mo
lowered his video sensor) as the cyborg lumbered past and left.
Jade Intrepid swept to the front of line and smiled, proudly.
"You want to watch your confidence level, missy," the recruitment
officer told her, coldly, "Do you think that's what Lord Reaper wants in a
"You'll see," Intrepid said, mysteriously. The officer narrowed his eyes at her.
He made to call up her details on the holopad, but his finger never
reached the button - "Attention!"
All discussion silenced. As one, every
officer, recruit, and stormtrooper turned to face a wide, black archway across
the room.
From behind their crate, Rogue and Mo looked too, and what they saw made
them freeze. Lord Reaper himself had arrived, and his presence seemed to fill the whole room.
There was total silence.
Reaper surveyed the rows of newcomers, poker-faced, and said not a word.
He was very tall, and thin, with long-fingered pale hands. He wore a jet-black robe with a cloak that swept the floor, and his billowing, black hood was drawn up over his head. His skin was pure white, and slightly shiny, as if it were made of marble;
and his face made Rogue's skin crawl.
But was it a face? Or a skull?
He had high, prominent cheek-bones, a hooked nose, and a grim, lipless
mouth. Strangely, he had no eyebrows, but this was more than made up for by his
eyes. His eyes were large, and red-rimmed, with irises like two black holes.
There wasn't an idiot in the universe who underestimated Lord Reaper,
neither a Jedi who withstood him.
As Reaper stalked across the room, all eyes followed him.
Everyone seemed under his spell.
He made straight for the row of bounty hunters, and glided, slowly, up
and down the line. When he spoke, his voice was like the slamming of tomb doors.
"You will transfer to the planet Gentooine in the Sluis Sector. There you will track down and capture the following targets,"
He too produced a holopad in his long hand, and displayed holograms of two
different people. The hunters watched, intently. In response, each raised his
own holopad and showed he had copies of the holograms ... except for the one
Rogue had stolen.
Upon realising his was missing, the fifth bounty hunter began to sweat.
But Reaper said nothing about the missing pad.
Rogue quickly switched it on, and checked the holograms matched Reaper's
too. They did. He was surprised to see that one of them was of a girl not much younger than he was. She was extremely pretty too. But if the girl surprised him, she was nothing compared to the second target.
He was a humanoid, and he was tiny! Rogue couldn't believe it. These people, these two little people, were worth ten thousand credits to Lord Reaper? What was going on here? Then, he realised Reaper was talking again,
so he stopped what he was doing to listen.
"They share an alliance with the Republic. You will bring them to me," Lord Reaper switched his own holopad off with a smart blink. "I want them alive," he added in a dangerous voice, "Do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Reaper," the bounty hunters chorused.
"Good. You are dismissed,"
The hunters saluted, turned, and climbed back up into their ships. Rogue watched their retreating backs. He felt frustrated. "Why didn't they ask any questions?" he
whispered, "No one pays 10,000 credits for a couple of nobodies, particularly
Lord Reaper. Who are these people?"
He was still asking himself this as he watched the bounty hunters' ships take off. Within minutes, they cleared the Star Destroyer and, one by one, shot off like bullets as they jumped to light speed. Rogue blinked at the empty, black space the
ships had been, seconds before, and when he looked back at Lord Reaper, he saw he
had moved to the recruitment line. And whom should he have approached but Jade
Intrepid! Rogue gave a start and he watched, anxiously. She looked just as stunned as he did to see the Lord in front of her.
"What is your name?" Reaper asked her.
"Jade Intrepid, my Lord," she said, bowing.
Lord Reaper raised a hand and played his fingers, gently, through the air close to her face. "I feel you are sensitive to the Force, Intrepid,"
he murmured, "You show great potential in becoming powerful," Intrepid couldn't resist giving the recruitment officer a smug look. "Your thoughts tell me you wish to become a Sith," Lord Reaper continued, "Your fate lies with me. You shall become my next apprentice," Incredibly, unbelievably, Jade Intrepid beamed at Lord Reaper, and went rather pink.
Mo revolved his domed head, very slowly, to stare at Rogue. Rogue had frozen.
"Come with me,"
Lord Reaper turned on his heel and proceeded to leave; Intrepid matched his pace and they strode off together, cloaks swishing behind them. Rogue watched them until they disappeared through the wide, black archway, then he continued to watch the empty space. Mo made a small, sad noise beside him and
nudged his foot, affectionately. "Thanks buddy, I'm alright," he said,
gruffly, "I didn't know her that well anyway. Come on. Del Gormo's waiting for
us, and he's got to see this,"
He tapped the holopad, then turned, and briskly strode off. He had his own flight to
catch. Mo wheeled along behind him, hurrying to catch up. He bleeped,
questioningly, and looked backwards. "I'm trying not to think about it," Rogue
muttered, "I only hope she isn't too powerful,"
He saluted a passing officer, and pretended to be on his way for more supplies.
The moment no one was looking, Rogue and Mo boarded his star ship, theAlpha Nebula. In less than a minute, they had glided out of the main docking bay. Rogue waited until they were clear, and as he made the jump to lightspeed, the surrounding stars ran like paint down a canvas, then, they shot off into deep space.
Once free of the Star Destroyer's range, Rogue relaxed and swept a hand through his hair. Phew! No more Reaper! He pressed a button on the console and sent
a transmission to Del Gormo. As he did this, he showed him the holopad's images.
"Sir, I have the information you required, and I'm on my way to the Dagobah System," Del Gormo's voice came back, rich and
sophisticated. "Well done, Captain Rogue! I'm proud of you. I await your arrival,"
The image of the young girl caught Rogue's eye again, and he looked at it in silence for a moment. He felt a pang of pity for her, for she would soon be in great danger. He knew the Empire made women and children to suffer too, but it was still a shock to witness the order given.
"Is something wrong, Captain?" Del Gormo asked, breaking his chain of thoughts.
"Lord Reaper has already sent missionaries, sir," Rogue replied.
"In that case, we have run out of time. Your new task shall be to rescue them, and
you shall receive double pay, if you succeed,"
"Yes, sir," Rogue answered, unable to suppress a grin. As he looked back at the holograms he noticed something similar about them. "Hey, wait a minute," he said, and looked closer, "Their co-ordinates match. They must live together! That'll make it easy to find them," "It'll be easy for the bounty hunters too. You must reach them, Rogue, before they do!" "I will," Rogue promise, and he cut transmission.
Rogue changed out of his disguise, and back into his bronze-and-white pilot uniform. He felt good again, or at least, cool.
Unknown to Charles Rogue, he had not escaped the Star Destroyer
undetected. Lord Reaper and Jade Intrepid watched the ship vanish from sight.
"Who was that, my Lord?" Intrepid asked.
"A slippery character, named Captain Charles Rogue," Reaper answered, "His loyalty to the Empire is ... questionable. I ordered a homing device to be planted aboard his ship, as I suspect he may have been sent here to spy on me,"
"Where do you think he's going?"
"It is possible he will attempt to rescue the Republicans my bounty hunters are
after. If he succeeds, the homing device will lead my men right to them, if not, there will be no escape," "My Lord," Intrepid said, steeling herself, "About those Republicans ... Who are they? What's so important about them?"
"That is not your concern," Reaper said, shortly, "In time, you will know, if you become a powerful, and faithful, ally. But now,"
He gestured towards the doors and they parted with a smart hiss. Intrepid looked into those fathomless eyes. "We shall begin your training," Reaper rumbled.

Gallery Night picks from Rafael Francisco Salas
The photographs of Tom Jones make me laugh.
But, after a while, they turn bitterly ironic, too. Jones, an American Indian artist from the Ho-Chunk Nation, photographs white folks dressing up like Indians of the fur trade.
These photographs distill the central question that all the artists in the laser-sharp "Transitional/Transcultural: New Paradigms for a New Century" exhibit ask: "Who am I?" or, better yet, "Who do you think you are?"
The exhibit opens Gallery Night at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, 273 E. Erie St. Mark Lawson, MIAD's director of galleries and the curator of the Culture in Transition series, now in its fifth year, says the eight artists in this show are a product of both their heritage and their current culture.
"The artists actively negotiate boundaries in their work," Lawson said. "They redefine viewers' perspectives both of Western, American culture and...the larger culture of humanity."
Renowned artists Faith Ringgold and Grisha Bruskin exhibit their work alongside established Wisconsin artists such as Jason Yi and Jones to create a smart and sometimes heartbreaking dialogue about how it feels to create identity in a global community, where traditions are constantly questioned and redefined.
The artists in this exhibit express the anxiety of creating a self from a past that may no longer exist, and a present that has yet to be defined.
Rafael Francisco Salas is an artist, the chair of the art department at Ripon College and an Art City contributor. Most recently, he reviewed "Pairings" at the Haggerty Museum of Art, which closes after this weekend.

Going out with a bang in NYC
... fantastic view of the Empire State. Sneaky pizza slice on the way home from two boots pizza in Williamsburg! We got up early on Saturday and I rented a bike to cycle along the closed roads for the summer streets which ran from Central Park down to battery park along 5th avenue. On our way there we cycled over Williamsburg bridge (one up from Brooklyn bridge) and this was breath taking views of Manhattan. We also squeezed in a loop of Central Park on the bikes and o was in my ...
The end of the Apple .... And yes it is big!
So the week has flown past, my legs don't seem to think so though! I wouldn't be surprised if I have lost a stone from walking in the humidity all day.

Yes it was delayed, yes we sat in the street burning for an hour and yes it was 6am. Having said that the coach is ...

Ouch we ended up walking miles today ... First was up to Columbia University, which was a lovely campus with such pretty buildings but huge at the same time! A little (big) stroll down the Hudson past the dog parks and we hit the High Line, this has to have been the prettiest and cleanest place I've seen in NYC, with some quirky old buildings along the way.

With so much planned but plenty of time to do it in we plan to take our time with NYC, starting in downtown and working our way up!

On Dearest-thing-in-life…Friends!
If life were measured in relationships…I feel as though I would be the richest.
In states and continents and ages galore, my life has been GRACED, exceedingly with friends. Ones who I know love me as I am and who make me feel the warmth of the Abba father as they pull me in close to them.
Friends that I have laughed, sung, cried with and friends that I have needed in the toughest of times…
cancer and loving my mother as she died because of it
the craziness of motherhood
the craziness of my brain;}
the sheer insanity of seeking to love Him in a world gone so wrong
it has been these friends, be they sisters by blood, ever my friends, friends who share my skin or who are of another with whom I speak Spanish, or Hungarian or English or crazy slang and Abby-isms.
Friends who have loved and who will never stop. Friends who will people Heaven with me and I think that they were sent from there just. for. me.
And Friend of Friends who is the Good behind all of this love that surrounds. The One who reminds on a lonely night and in the midst of upheaval, that He has ALWAYS taken care of me and that will never, ever stop…a friend to replace everyone sacrificed to follow Him and a day and age with SKYPE when distance does not {too much} hinder the beauty of this crowning gift:}
Thank You. Thank You. and a million more times THANK YOU!

Alternative medicine is experiencing a dramatic rise in popularity, both from those who seek to be healed by it and those who wish to practice it. Information on alternative treatments and advice is abundant; however, information for those seeking education, training, and accreditation in this area has previously been scarce. The Directory of Schools for Alternative and Complementary Medicine is the first book of its kind to provide a comprehensive listing of nearly 700 schools in the U.S. and Canada that offer certification and degrees in alternative medicine. Additionally, nine essays by authorities and visionaries in the field provide unique insight and practical guidance to anyone interested in pursuing these increasingly popular professions.

Fallen AngelMature
Luciana thinks she is a typical human teenager but she is wrong; her life is turned upside down when she realises that mystical creatures are real and that she is not who she thinks she is.
Brown eyes flitted from girl to girl, analysing each one in turn and then dismissing them. He had tracked her down to this very school; she was here somewhere and it was his mission to find her. Crowds of people flooded the school hallway, animatedly chatting to each other the main topic of conversation being on what they did during the summer break. She was here somewhere she just had to be, but it was going to be difficult to find her in an ocean of students such as this, but he was determined.
He caught sight of a gaggle of girls heading down the hallway towards him, each beautifully tanned from obviously being out in the sunlight. The obvious ring leader of this group of girls was tall and beautiful with long brown hair which hung loosely down to the middle of her back. He analyzed her tall slender figure, eventually deciding that although this girl was beautiful this was not her, he would know her from the moment he saw her.
He walked swiftly away from the group of girls keeping to the edge of the corridor as much as possible, so he could avoid having to battle his way through the crowd of students, who had stopped in the middle of the corridor to have a conversation with their friends.
As he rounded a corner he spotted a tall boy with sandy coloured hair leaning casually against the wall talking to a girl. A girl … The girl, he could tell that it was her; she was by far the most beautiful girl in the entire school. Her long ash blonde hair cascaded down to the middle of her back, it would have been longer but she had it tied back into an elegant bobble. Her skin was pale and unblemished and when she laughed her teeth were a pearly white. A faint glow which only he could see emanated from around her.
He knew that he wasn't able to walk right up to her, when she was deep in conversation with who could only have been her boyfriend. He had to get her on her own, he had to get to know her, get inside her head and gain her trust before he struck. He watched her from a distance staring at her unearthly beauty; he wanted her, he could feel his desire for her rising but he had to resist, he had to restrain himself, she was no use dead.
His eyes glowed red.

transit city
Yonah Freemark reports on the implausible turn of events that has Toronto transit boosters back on the course they charted five years ago, pursuing the much-debated Transit City plan.
the transport politic
The battle being waged by Toronto's first-term mayor Rob Ford over the future of transit in the city is getting uglier by the day, as the Toronto Transit Commission voted Tuesday to fire chief general manager Gary Webster.
Toronto Star
In a stunning blow to Mayor Rob Ford -- who, on his first day in office in 2010 scrubbed the "Transit City" plan in favor of an ill-thought out and unfunded subway scheme -- the Toronto City Council has quashed his plans and resurrected the old one.
Globe and Mail
The newly installed mayor of Toronto has swiftly abandoned an $8.1 billion mass transit plan for the city.

A magical reunion
Dear Mr Harry Potter,
You are cordially invited to Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry on Saturday 24th July for a student's reunion. Guests will meet in the great hall at 7.30pm for dinner and dancing and are welcome to stay in house dormitories overnight. Please RSVP by return owl.
Professor R. Hagrid
Harry grinned. He hadn't been to Hogwarts for ten years and he couldn't wait to go back. Other than the Weasley's, Hermione and Hagrid he had barely kept in touch with any of his classmates and it would be great to catch up and see what everyone's doing now.
On the evening of the 24th of July he collected his overnight bags and apparated right into the village of Hogsmeade. He had finally read Hogwarts, a History, after much nagging from Hermione and knew that it would be useless to try and apparate straight into the schools grounds. He walked up the path leading to the school and soon the magnificent castle came into view. He basked in its familiar beauty and sighed contentedly. He was home.
He left his bags in the entrance hall with all the other luggage and made his way into the great hall. There was already a large crowd of people there, even though it was early. Harry looked around the great hall, smiling as he looked up at the ceiling and he realised how much he had missed Hogwarts. A bar had been set up in the far corner of the room and Harry fought his way through the crowd to it.
'Firewhiskey please,' he said to the house elf at the bar.
He took his drink and looked around, searching for a familiar face. He hardly recognised anyone, they had all changed so much in ten years, but then he spotted the former Gryffindor quidditch team standing in a group chatting. He made his way over to them.
'Hi everyone!' he said.
'Harry!' exclaimed Angelina, Alicia and Katie in unison, 'It's so good to see you.'
He smiled at them, 'how are you all? You look great.'
'Oh Harry, stop it,' said Oliver Wood, pretending to blush.
They all laughed and Harry shook his hand.
'Still with Puddlemere united?' he asked him.
'Yep, but now for the first team, not just the reserves.'
'Nice one, that's excellent,' said Harry, genuinely happy for his former captain.
'Are you still playing quidditch? Wood asked.
'A little, nothing pro though, I don't really get the time.'
'A busy man are you? What do you do?'
'I'm an auror,' Harry said proudly.
'Wow!' said Angelina.
Harry turned to Fred and George. 'Is Ron here yet?' He asked.
'Yeah,' Fred replied, 'He came with Hermione; they'll be around here somewhere.'
'I think I'll go and look for them.'
He left the others and scanned the room for a sign of Ron or Hermione. The hall was becoming more crowded and noisy which was making his search even harder. He spotted Parvati and a heavily pregnant Lavender, and walked over to them.
'Hi,' he said.
'Harry, good to see you,' said Parvati as Lavender smiled at him.
'Congratulations,' he said to Lavender, gesturing to her bump, 'When are you due?'
'Just a month to go now,' she said beaming, 'It's my third.'
'How's work going?' Parvati asked him, 'Auror office not working you too hard I hope?'
'It's going great I love it. You'd know all about the stresses of being an Auror though, being married to one. How is Alderney?'
'Oh he's well thanks.'
'That's great. Listen, I need to go and find Ron and Hermione but we'll catch up later ok?'
He walked back to the bar and ordered a pint of mulled mead.
'You haven't seen a red haired man with a pretty brunette have you?' he asked then elf.
'Is that them over there sir?' he asked, pointing to a couple standing in a corner.'
'Yeah it is thanks a lot,' he said, taking his mead.
He walked over to Ron and Hermione.
'Hey guys! Whoa, nice beard Ron.' He laughed.
'Ron blushed, 'I thought it would be a cool new look,' he said, stroking the patch of ginger hair growing on his chin, 'don't you like it?'
'No I do. It looks cool, seriously.'
'This is strange isn't it?' said Hermione, 'I mean, I hardly recognise anyone apart from those who I see around the ministry.'
'Yeah I know,' agreed Harry, 'I've seen the quidditch team and Parvati and Lavender but there's loads of people I don't know. I guess there's a lot from other years that we never knew in the first place.'
A loud horn sounded and everyone quietened and looked over to the end of the great hall to see what had made the noise. Hagrid stood amongst all the other teachers beaming at the sea of people before him.
'Welcome back everybody! I hope you all enjoy yer time 'ere. As many of you probably know, I replaced Professor McGonagall as head teacher when she retired two years ago and I though' this would be a good idea fer you lot to catch up and see how eachothers doin'. So all I 'ave left ter say is enjoy yer stay and tuck in!'
As soon as he had said this, the house tables zoomed back into the hall, set for dinner and all the guests milled around, finding places to sit.
Harry, Ron and Hermione headed straight for the Gryffindor table and sat down opposite three men.
'Harry, Ron, Hermione!' came a thick Irish accent.
'Seamus?' asked Ron.
He looked completely different. He had grown several inches and dyed his hair from sandy blonde to brown. They soon recognised the two men either side of his as their dorm-mates Dean and Neville.
They helped themselves to mounds of food. The feast was as excellent as they remembered with all their old favourites. Conversation soon turned to work and families.
'I'm the junior Irish spokesperson in the department of magical games and sports,' said Seamus, puffing up his chest, 'Looking for a promotion any day now. I've just engaged to my girlfriend too. Trouble is, she's a muggle and I haven't told her I'm a wizard yet.
They all laughed.
'I'm sure it'll be alright mate,' said Dean, 'My wife was really excited when I told her what I was, and little jack, my son, is showing signs of being a wizard too so were hopeful he'll get into Hogwarts.'
'How old is he?' asked Hermione.
'Just turned seven months.'
'Gosh, that must be hard to fit around work.'
'It's not so bad. I've got my own broomstick repair shop so work's pretty flexible. What about you Neville? What are you up to these days?
'I'm a researcher at St.Mungos. It involves investigating into magical plants and fungi and their properties in healing.'
Wow that sounds amazing Neville,' said Hermione. Harry noticed that she was giving him an admiring look. It was true that Neville had changed a lot since he had last seen him. He had corrected his overbite and slimmed down a lot. His hair was thick and curly and his dress sense had definitely improved. There was only one word to describe him; Good-looking.
'I've heard that you're an Auror now Harry?' said Neville, 'oblivious to Hermione's look.
'Yeah, only qualified a few of years ago,' He said.
'I don't suppose there's much time to find a lady to settle down with doing that eh?' said Seamus, grinning.
'No, not really,' said Harry, 'I'm still looking for the one.'
Dean laughed and said, 'What about you Ron?'
'I'm managing the Paris branch of Weasleys Wizard Wheezes,' he said, brightly.
'Paris eh? The land of love.' Said Dean.
'It definitely is. I married Susan Bones, do you remember her? She was in Hufflepuff.'
'Oh yeah, nice one man. Where is she tonight?'
'She's ill and had to stay at home. She insisted I came though. Life's treating us pretty well at the moment.'
'And what about the lovely Hermione?' said Dean, appreciating the curvy, womanly shape and developed beauty, 'What has the girl who could have any career she wanted become?
'Well do you remember I started up S.P.E.W in fourth year?'
'Vividly,' said Dean, smirking as Ron rolled his eyes.
'Don't laugh! It's going really well. We've got over 10,000 members worldwide and have improved elf rights tenfold.'
'I'm happy for you Hermione,' said Neville, 'You could have got any job you wanted and earned hundreds of thousands of galleons a year but you're helping those in need. I think it's amazing.'
'Thanks Neville, but to be honest, being the chairperson of the foundation I'm not exactly doing badly. The perks are pretty good,' she smiled.
They finished their meals, chatting about their lives and sharing anecdotes and soon every morsel of food had been demolished. The ceiling had turned dark blue and millions of stars were twinkling merrily.
Hagrid stood up and tapped his goblet with a spoon, smashing it in half.
'Oh, er whoops. Never mind eh,' he said, putting the broken goblet down. 'I hope everyone enjoyed their meal, an' now, er, time fer the dancin'. So I'd like to welcome Cauldron Clash who'll be our entertainment fer the evenin'.
Everyone clapped enthusiastically as cauldron clash took to the stage and the house tables were cleared, leaving a large dance floor. Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way up to the teachers table to talk to Hagrid.
'All righ' you three? Firs' time you seen me bein' headmaster eh? What do you think?'
'You were brilliant Hagrid,' said Ron enthusiastically, 'I wish you had been our headmaster!'
'Now don' go sayin' that Harry. Professor Dumbledore was a far better head than I'll ever be.'
They all smiled.
'Can I buy you a drink Hagrid?' asked Ron.
'O' course! Never say no to a pint o' mead.'
As they walked off to the bar Harry turned around to speak to Hermione when he realised she was no longer there. He looked around but couldn't see her so headed in the direction of the bar after Ron and Hagrid. Suddenly, he bumped into someone and almost fell to the floor.
'Ch-cho?' He said, looking up, winded.
'Oh Harry, I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.'
'Don't worry about it.' He kissed her cheek. 'How are you doing? I haven't seen you since you left school.'
'I'm great actually.'
'Good, that's good. What do you do now?'
'I'm working at St.Mungo's. I'm a trainee healer.'
'Wow that's great. I would never have put you as a healer. I would have thought you'd be one of those girls that squeal at the sight of blood.' He laughed.
'Well I was a bit like that at first but you get used to it, especially when you've seen people who've been half bitten to death by dragons! Anyway this isn't a very cheery topic, what are you doing?'
'I'm an auror now. Finally fulfilled my ambition.'
'Wow Harry. Then again, I don't know why I'm surprised; I always knew you'd do great things.' She smiled admiringly at him, 'Do you fancy a drink?'
They walked over to the bar and Cho ordered a pint of mead for Harry and a firewhiskey and soda for herself.
'What about a family then? Married? Kids? Girlfriend?' she asked.
'Sadly none of those at the moment,' he replied, 'I guess I never get the time to meet anyone with my hectic work schedule. What about you? Don't tell me you haven't been snapped up.'
'Sadly not. I broke up with my boyfriend a month ago. We had been together four years but it wasn't working anymore.'
'Oh I'm sorry.'
'Don't be. I've moved on and I'm back on the market! Shall we dance?' she said, giving him a seductive look.
What's going on? Harry thought.
He took Cho's hand as she led him to the middle of the packed dance floor. Cauldron Clash was playing a loud dance song and he and Cho found it difficult to dance in the throng. He was jostled from either side and soon found himself pressed up against her and had to put his arms around her to steady himself. She looked unblinkingly into his eyes, trying to assess his thoughts. They danced close, their hips pressed together, sweating in the heat of the mass of bodies. Cho snaked her hands around Harry's hips and pulled her upper body closer so he could smell the seductive coconut fragrance of her hair. His brain spun with the mixture of heat, mead and Cho scent.
'Do you want to go outside?' he called over the noise, 'I need air.'
She nodded her response and they fought their way to the doors and into the grounds. It was a warm night with a gentle, humid breeze. They walked in silence down to the lake and sat down on the bank.
'You know I always regretted what happened between us,' said Cho softly.
'Really? I always thought you didn't want anything to do with me after that day we spent in Hogsmeade.' said Harry.
'No,' she purred, 'you've got a spell on me.'
She leant in and kissed him full on the mouth, running her hands over his body and under his shirt. She pushed her tongue into his mouth and pushed him back so that they were lying down. She let out a soft moan and ran her hand down to Harry's trousers, caressing his semi-erection through the material.
'Stop, wait.' Said Harry, pushing her off him gently, 'I don't think this is a good idea.'
'Why not?' she said, looking hurt.
'Because I don't think you want me. I don't just want to be a rebound. You messed me around when we were teenagers and I don't want it to happen again. Sorry Cho.'
He stood up and walked slowly back to the castle, leaving Cho sitting by the lake.
As he entered the great hall, once again, he immediately spotted Ron conversing with Ernie McMillan and Justin Finchfletchley.
'Ernie! Justin! Good to see you.' He said, shaking their hands.
'We were just chatting about work,' Ron said, 'did you know that Ernie is the vice minister for magic?'
'No,' said Harry, 'Wow Ernie, how did you manage that?'
'Well I only got the job a month ago,' he said proudly, 'I guess I'll be seeing a lot more of you around the ministry from now on eh?'
'Yeah. Listen, I really need to talk to Ron alone if that's ok?'
'Of course, we can catch up later.'
Harry steered Ron to the bar where they ordered more drinks.
'Just a butterbeer for me thanks. Hagrid challenged me to a drinking contest. I'm not really sure why I accepted but I did and now I'm pretty pissed.'
Harry laughed, noticing that Ron could barely stand and carried their drinks over to a small table on the edge of the dance floor.
'I was just outside with Cho and she tried to kiss me, but I stopped it before it got too far.'
'Wow. Why did you shhhtop it you twat?' said Ron, slurring slightly, 'you fanshied Cho like mad at schhhoool.'
'Yeah, at school. I haven't thought about her for ages and I don't want her to fuck me around again. Plus I think she's on the rebound. You don't think I did the wrong thing do you?'
'Naaahh, you're an auror now. You can get much better girls than that pricktease Cho.'
'That's easy for you to say mr happily married.'
Ron chuckled to himself as Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle sat down at their table.
'Look who it is, Potty and Weasel.' He said.
'Not grown any brain cells since school I notice Malfoy?' said Harry coolly, 'kindly fuck off.'
'No. We've come here for a chat. I want to know what my favourite trio have made of themselves. I hear from my father that you are now an auror. They must have lowered the standards of admission. And weasel works in that stupid shop. I knew you'd end up a joke. As for the mudblood, is she still traumatising elves?'
Crabbe and Goyle laughed appreciatively.
Harry and Ron got up to leave.
'Fred told me that Malfoy is working in Borgin and Burkes now. We all know who started their career there…..voldemort.'
'Yeah, and I heard that Crabbe and Goyle are both cleaners at the ministry.'
They both laughed and pushed their way onto the dance floor. They found Parvati, Lavender, Ginny and Seamus in a group and danced with them until they were all exhausted and had to sit down. It was two o'clock when they climbed the marble staircase together for the first time in years to head to Gryffindor tower.
'Have you seen Hermione lately?' asked Ron.
'No I haven't seen her since we spoke to Hagrid earlier.' Said Harry
'That's strange. I wonder where she got to.'
They reached the portrait hole and greeted the fat lady. 'Reunion,' said Harry and then turned to Ron,' Hagrid told me that was the password.' The portrait swing forward to reveal the Gryffindor common room. They climbed through and Ron sighed contentedly, flopping into his favourite armchair by the fire. There were lots of people still up, chatting in small groups. Harry marvelled at how small the room looked when filled with adults than it had when they were teenagers. They sat and finished their drinks, chatting lazily to Fred, George and Lee Jordan. At half past four Harry and Ron decided that it was time for bed so they bade the others goodnight and climbed the stairs to the boys dormitories. Ron pushed open the door and gasped.
'What is it?' Harry asked, peering around him to get a better look and then hasped himself.
Hermione and Neville were on Neville's bed, both naked. They had obviously caught them half way through sex as Neville still had his surprisingly large penis in Hermione's rear. Neville looked embarrassed and quickly exited her, wrapping a sheet around his body. Hermione blushed right red, grabbed her clothes from the floor and ran out of the room, Harry and Ron staring after her, amazed.
'Sorry Neville. Didn't mean to interrupt,' said Ron, smirking.
'D-don't worry about it,' said Neville, blushing. 'I'm going to bed.' He drew the curtains around his four poster and Harry and Ron entered the room.
'Looks exactly the same doesn't it,' said Harry.
'Yeah,' Ron agreed. 'Wonder who lives in this dormitory now.'
They changed into their nightclothes and got into bed. 'G'night,' they said to each other and went to sleep.
The next morning they woke, dressed and headed down to the great hall for breakfast. They were half way through their bacon and eggs and were expressing the wish that the reunion could have gone on longer when Hagrid sidled into the great hall.
'Attention everyone!' he called, 'now as a little surprise we've organised fer some awards ter be given ou'. So if yeh'd all like to pay attention as we announce the winners. Firs', the award fer most successful job goes ter Ernie Macmillan who's the vice minister fer magic. Congratulations Ernie.' Everyone clapped as Ernie walked up top the top table to collect his trophy. 'Nex' award goes ter the person who got the best NEWT grades, Hermione Granger,' Hermione blushed scarlet but looked extremely pleased and went to collect her award. Harry noticed that a lot of slytherins weren't clapping. 'Now the award fer the studen' tha's gained mos' weight since leave Hogwarts, It's a tie between Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle,' Harry and Ron burst out laughing and cheered loudly as the two slytherins waddled up to receive their trophies'. 'The award fer the person who has done mos' charity work since leavin Hogwarts goes to Hannah Abbott who has worked tirelessly as a volunteer fer the endangered magical creatures fund.' She walked up to collect her award proudly, 'Now fer the award fer the person who's given us the greates laughs o' course goes ter Fred an' George Weasley' The Weasley boys cheered and ran up to the top table raising their arms proudly to the crowd as they cheered. 'And the las' award is fer the person that has done the greates' good fer the magical community an it goes ter Harry Potter fer his great achievements in ridding our world of Voldemort and his death eaters.' Harry collected his award and saw Malfoy and his friend giving Harry mutinous looks so he smiled at them and gave them an ironic wave.
As soon as the award ceremony was over Ron turned to Hermione, 'So, Neville eh?' he said, smirking.
'I knew you wouldn't let me get away with that,' she said, blushing, 'but you can't tease me because I don't care. I really like Neville and we've arranged to go on a date next week.'
'Wow,' said Harry, 'who would have ever thought Neville would get a date. Then again he has changed loads. I'm happy for you Hermione.'
'Yeah, me too,' said Ron, 'but that doesn't mean I'm not going to share the story at parties.'
'Oh Ron.'
All too soon it was time to leave and Harry, Ron and Hermione collected their bags and said their goodbyes to their classmates. They walked down the path to Hogsmeade.
'Barbecue at my house next Sunday?' Ron said.
'Yeah that would be great,' Harry said, 'Until Sunday then.' He shook Ron's hand and kissed Hermione's cheek before apparating home.
The end

Islet-cell Transplants: The End of Insulin Shots?
Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, end-stage kidney failure, and leg amputations. It also increases the risk for heart disease. Diabetes mellitus results from high blood sugar levels because of the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that aids in storing or converting glucose from food into energy. Diabetes is not curable, but it can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications.
There are two main types of diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin. The main treatment regimen for type 1 diabetes is insulin injections throughout the day, measuring blood sugar levels, watching one's diet, and planning structured meals and activities. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or their bodies have difficulty putting the available insulin to work. Some people with type 2 diabetes require insulin injections.
One hope for cure of type 1 diabetes lies in transplanting the islet cells that are in the pancreas. Islet cells produce and secret insulin into the bloodstream.
A Possible Treatment
Doctors have attempted to transplant insulin-producing islet cells from donated pancreases into people with severe, unstable diabetes. The results were that these recipients were able to maintain normal blood sugar levels without taking insulin shots. Does this mean that islet-cell transplants could mean the end of daily insulin injections for people with diabetes? At this point in time, no.
One type of islet-cell transplant method follows a procedure called the Edmonton protocol. This includes transplanting cells immediately after removal from the donated pancreas after removing foreign proteins from the cells. Removing foreign proteins from the cells reduces the risk of transplant rejection. In most cases, islet cells from a second donor pancreas are needed for improved blood glucose control. Doctors infuse the cells into the liver during a simple procedure, and the process carries less risk than an organ transplant.
Does Transplant Work?
Several small studies have looked at islet-cell transplantation in those with type 1 diabetes. The studies overall showed mixed support for transplantation. A study of 36 people that used the Edmonton protocol found that transplantation did restore insulin production in the body, as well as keep blood sugar levels stable. However, the transplant did not make it able for most people to be free from their insulin regimen over time. But another small study using the Edmonton protocol was able to report its people as achieving insulin independence. Overall, the transplanted cells allow people to avoid life-threatening episodes of hypogycemia. Hypoglycemia is abnormally low blood sugar. People who take insulin are at risk of experiencing these dangerous blood sugar crashes. Over the course of several years even people achieving insulin independence may still end up taking insulin.
Doctors also note that islet-cell transplant is not the end of all treatment. Even if insulin is not needed after surgery, antirejection medications are required so the body does not reject the new pancreatic cells. There are side effects to antirejection medications which suppress the immune system. Immune suppression increases the risk of cancer and potentially serious infections. People who have the islet transplant need to see their doctors for regular check-ups. They are necessary to monitor for rejection, and any new changes in insulin regimens.
Remaining Hurdles
Lack of donated pancreases will limit the number of people who can receive islet-cell transplants. With limited available organs, scientists are still searching for new sources of islet cells. Some researchers are cultivating human islet cells in the laboratory, while others are developing cell lines that produce insulin. Until these or other new methods prove to be expedient, safe and effective, transplants will rely on donated organs.

text: UPDATED 02:09 16th July 2012 Hollis is a graduate of the Meadow Lane youth Academy and initially agreed a professional deal in the summer of 2011.The naturally gifted centre-back's first season saw him impress during loan spells with the likes of Barrow and Darlington. Hollis also made his senior bow for the Magpies where he was tasked with marking free-scoring frontman Jordan Rhodes and he did not disappoint. After agreeing a one-year contract extension in 2012, Hollis's aim was to break into the starting 11 on a regular basis. He was was given the chance to prove himself towards the back end of the 2012.13 season and he was rewarded with a new long-term deal. Hollis had to wait almost another year for his next chance but became a valuable inclusion at the back under Shaun Derry. The centre-back, who is now the club's longest serving senior player, not only helped to sure up the County back four during the 2013.14 Great Escape run, he contributed a number of goals - mostly from set-pieces where he is never afraid to attack the ball. The impact he made during The Great Escape was highlighted with him being awarded the number six shirt for the 2014.15 campaign.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered in front of city hall Wednesday in solidarity with the Syrian people, one day after a deadly chemical attack in that country left more than 80 dead. Between 60 and 100 people, including some Syrians, chanted and waved signs, while calling on the Canadian government to intervene to protect Syrian civilians from further […]
Many come from places where abject poverty and political unrest are facts of daily life. Some have even been eyewitnesses to wartime atrocities. On Friday, though, such hardships are set aside for a few hours, as a group of newcomers to Canada join an experience that is exciting and, very often, awe-inspiring. The mix of […]
Shoppers were greeted with bouquets of red roses as a group of Syrian refugees handed out flowers and spread messages of peace and love Saturday afternoon at Chinook Centre. Nour Yassin, 20, helped organize the event, and was joined by friends, family and Calgary's Syrian Refugee Support Group handing out flowers to passersby in gratitude […]
As demonstrations took place in cities across the United States on Sunday, a small but vocal crowd gathered outside the U.S. consulate office in Calgary to protest President Donald Trump's travel ban targeting immigrants. Dozens of protesters chanted "No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here," adding their voices to those being heard around the […]
The Trudeau government has received assurances that Canadian passport holders will not be caught up in an American travel ban that has barred citizens of seven countries from entering the United States. An email from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office late Saturday said the U.S. has given assurances that Canadians with dual citizenship will not […]
Anya Sass and Habib Alibrahim were at wits end late last month. The Calgary woman and her Syrian husband had all but given up on Canadian immigration officials approving his permanent residence application; a process they were told would take 24 months.
For the past four months, Rod O'Brien has been treading water. "It's like we were hit by a tsunami," he says. "You crawl back on to the beach and look around — and there's devastation everywhere. I can't believe I have to stand up and start cleaning up."
It started with street protests that disrupted traffic and frayed the community's nerves. Not long after, letters began showing up in the mailboxes of Catholic households in their pleasant town just outside of Damascus, calling the Pope "your biggest monkey" and telling them to "leave this clean land within three days or our swords will cut off your rotten heads." The breaking point for Ralda Daher, though, came when a mortar shell hit a schoolhouse next to the one her two children attended. The toll from that attack was 13 dead, 70 injured.
Against the backdrop of the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., Calgary community leaders gathered at a southwest mosque to condemn Islamic extremists and criminal radicalization. "The tragic and barbaric acts of 9/11 exactly 13 years ago have both horrified us and, to this day, continue to impact our daily lives," said Abdul Souraya, immigration lawyer and co-chair of the Calgary police Middle East advisory committee.
The head of one of the world's biggest corporations is the marquee speaker this year at the Changing Fortunes Round Table event at Spruce Meadows. John Watson, chairman and chief executive of U.S.-based Chevron Corporation with a current market capitalization of $240 billion, will be here Friday for this year's discussion on World Energy with more than 180 national and international top-decision makers in attendance and a waiting list of many more wanting to be there.
Recent revelations that two more Calgary men are now part of a growing list of Canadians involved with Islamic terrorist organizations overseas has led to calls for stronger efforts to curb radicalization within the country. "When you talk about what is happening in Calgary right now, this is well-entrenched," said Michael Zekulin, a University of Calgary professor and expert in terrorism and radicalization.
Two Calgary brothers are the latest local men to be identified as foreign fighters for a terror group in Syria. Collin and Gregory Gordon disappeared in late 2012, according to a CBC News report. It's believed they travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
A Calgarian spotted fighting abroad with the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) appears to have been interviewed through an online messaging service. Vice magazine's online news site Motherboard published an interview Monday morning with a man claiming to be the person seen burning his passport and issuing threats to Canada and the U.S. in a recent YouTube video.
With a third Calgarian spotted fighting with extremist groups overseas, a University of Calgary terrorism expert warns that Canada needs to do more to prevent homegrown terrorists — and deal with radicalized ones who quietly return home. "These individuals are going into these jihadist hot spots, they are fighting alongside and learning alongside (extremist groups), and becoming even further ideologically extreme," said Michael Zekulin, who teaches political science and researches terrorism and radicalization.
As Islamic religious leaders in Calgary revealed they've had to dissuade some young Muslims from joining radical militants in the Middle East, the city's police chief warns conflict in the region will spur an increase in local extremism. Muslim Council of Calgary chairman Mohammed Sabbah said imams at several of the group's centres have fielded questions from young men about joining rebel forces, many linked to terrorist group al-Qaeda, fighting the Syrian government.
News that a second Calgary man was radicalized in this city and then went overseas to engage in terrorist jihad has caused much shock and surprise.
The news that longtime bachelor George Clooney was engaged to a human-rights lawyer has surprised more than a few celebrity watchers. The Oscar-winning actor has torn through a bevy of beautiful women but none was ever Mrs. Right — until now. Postmedia's Brad Hunter explains how Amal Alamuddin captured Clooney's heart:
With spring finally arriving, we're seeing the sprouting of many new restaurants around the city. This week, I thought I'd introduce three of them — Velvet Cafe, Destino Restaurant and Lounge and A La Saj.
A Turkish national has admitted unlawfully applying for status as a Syrian refugee under a false name. Altay Karakayali, 36, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of unlawfully using documents to remain in Canada and one Criminal Code charge of using a forged document to obtain an Alberta Identification Card.

European anger has been matched by annoyance in the US, reviving prejudices of the old "warriors versus wimps" variety. "Europe," complained a columnist in the conservative Washington Times, "is in the throes of one of those fits of anti-American hysteria that seems to seize the Old Continent with predictable regularity. Any shadow of a rumour, any smidgeon of information that, if true, could reflect badly on the United States, sells newspapers in Europe like hotcakes and tends to warm people's hearts with the thought that at least they are not like Americans."

Bush accepts McCain torture amendment
Finally, Bush has realised what horrific damage the torture scandal is doing to the reputation of the US, and is accepting John McCain's Defence Bill amendment banning "cruel, inhuman or degrading" treatment by any US personnel anywhere in the world. This is a rather more productive step than neocon frothings over "old Europe":

India Inc continues to firesale assets
A lot of others are also doing the same as banks, largely public sector banks (PSB), race to clean up their balance-sheets by March 2017.
Since the beginning of this year, India Inc has sold or put on block assets worth ₹1.50 lakh crore. Essar and Reliance Group are said to lead the pack with recently announced plans to monetise assets worth ₹85,000 crore and ₹11,000 crore respectively; others, including GMR and Jaypee Group, are being forced to sell profitable businesses to cut debts. A lot of others are also doing the same as banks, largely public sector banks (PSB), race to clean up their balance-sheets by March 2017.
Reliance Cement has sold its units to Birla Corporation for a consideration of Rs 4,800 crores, Jaiprakash Associates to Ultratech for Rs 16,370 crores, GVKPIL to Fairfax Financial Holdings for Rs 2,149 crores, GMR Infra to Oriental Structural Engineers for Rs 557.5 crores, Jindal Steel and Power to JSW Energy for Rs4,000-6,500 crores, GMR Infra to Tenaga Nasional Berhad for Rs 1995 crores, and Jaiprakash Associates to Orient Cements for Rs 1,950 crores.
Market analysts say this could be the best news in years for the banking sector, which has been reeling under rising non-performing assets. "Large corporates resisted the sale of non-core assets on the pretext that they can extract more value tomorrow than today," a top public sector bank official said. "But with banks refusing further financing till loans are repaid or more equity is brought in by the promoters, the borrowers have got the message," the official added.
Banks have been relentlessly pressuring defaulting promoters to make good their loan repayment commitments by raising money through the sale of stakes in their profitable ventures, said a market analyst.
"The Essar-Rosneft deal will send a message to other debt-burdened promoters to de-leverage. We believe NPA recognition for large accounts has peaked; we expect a gradual resolution here on," the analyst added.
According to a report in Hindu Businessline, promoters of companies selling non-core assets to reduce debt can now pitch in with more equity, which will convince banks to lend further to their core businesses or to ventures into new sectors. But for that to happen, the deals announced have to be completed. "A number of asset sale deals announced are work-in-progress, and there is no certainty that the promised money will flow into the banking system", the report said.
Rakesh Valecha, Senior Director and Head, Credit Market Research, India Ratings, said: "With these asset sales, you will see some correction as far as leverage and associated issues are concerned for the seller. What remains to be seen is how much of the cash inflows will be used for debt reduction and whether that can be serviced from the cash flows of the residual entity."
A number of corporates told BusinessLine on condition of anonymity that they would have preferred a meaningful restructuring of loans instead of having to sell their prized businesses.
"Stressed assets are not always the result of mismanagement or funds diversion; many are in this situation due to difficult global market conditions or one-time events, such as cancellation of mines and delayed environment approvals. Even viable companies are not being permitted to restructure," said an executive of a Mumbai-based conglomerate. For now, though, all eyes are on the next big asset sale. Ananda Bhoumik, MD and Chief Analytical Officer, India Ratings, said: "There is a lot more action expected in the next two years."


text: The Hymer doesn't have an oven. So, at a show, I bought a 700 watt Tristar electric oven which is BRILLIANT. My Kipor 1000 runs the oven a treat. My Kipor 650 doesn't. The float needle (and/or valve) are playing up in the 1000 (runs perfectly but fuel overflows via the overflow tube.) The float needle (and/or valve) are NOT playing up in the 650. Research shows a new carb for the 1000 is around £45. By looking it seems the carb on the 650 is the same. With my semi-planned Christmas/New Year trip approaching, should I just swop over the carbs for the trip (an easy to do and quick job) and thus have PCC (Pie Cooking Capacity) or... ...should I try to bodge the 1000 float needle or... ...should I throw £45ish at the problem and get a new carb (can't find a seller of float needles and seats only) for 1000 or... ...should I go without Pies for the Festive season? JJ :Cool:

so last night a buddy and I are out looking for a couple of repo's (unfortunately we struck out). and on the way home we stop at a gas station for a bathroom/smoke break (for him). we pull into the parking lot and a fight had just got over. there is one guy laying on the ground apparently unconscious or close to it and about a half dozen or so other guys running both back to their car and away from the scene. I walked over to the guy on the ground while his friends were trying to pick him up and get out of there. I asked if they need an ambulance and they say "no man, no 5-0, no cops" at that point a couple of the remaining attackers are still around and being I'm carrying and don't know what happened (nor do I have any dog in that fight)so I just walk inside the gas station where the attendants are on the phone with PD.
I feel like I failed miserably, my buddy is a former EMT and says that guy needed medical attention and we let his buddies take him out of there. after discussing it today we both agree that we should've made them leave their unconscious friend so the ambulance could check him out.
thoughts anyone? I really feel like I did the wrong thing there, that guy was HURT and I walked away.

#2 How would you go about "making" them leave their friend?
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
I wouldn't feel bad about it. Like Guantes said, he chose his friends. And by "friends," I mean the guys that cared more about being in trouble with the cops than they did about their friend's welfare.

Do you know that any of the friends may have medical training? Stranger things have been known to happen. Maybe they just did a scoop and run to the hospital.

did okay man, dont beat yourself up..... did the best you could do just by asking. if his group has the mentality of "no cops.. no 5-0" than surely the hurt guy has the same mentality. His "friends" or group that share similar feelings on the matter than him, shared their feelings on the matter.

You did far more than a lot of people would do. Many would just look the other way and run. They are big boys and capable of assessing the damages and whether or not medical attention was needed. You asked, they denied. No one is forced into medical treatment (granted, if you are unconscious paramedics and doctors will assume you WANT medical treatment) but as stated perhaps someone should choose better companions if they expect medical treatment after getting out of a fight.
Take comfort in the fact that you actually offered aid. If he seriously needs medical attention it will become apparent soon enough (i.e. he fails to wake up, he passes out again or starts to have other neurological symptoms or signs of concussion, broken bones, etc).

First off, you don't know any of the players, or who started what. You came in at the end of the event. No responsibility, or duty on your part to get involved whatsoever.
I believe you did your due diligence when you asked if the apparent loser of the conflict needed medical attention. They declined. End report.
Hopefully the gas station security cameras function, and someone took down license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions. The clerk was already doing what needed to be done.

Separate comment. It amazes me how many of my fellow forum members seem to live in areas that rival Bagdhad for violence and incidents that I can only dream about. Maybe I am lucky, maybe I have been privileged to live in relatively upper income areas but in 69 years I have never experienced anything that even remotely resembles the stories I read about on this forum. Wish all of you well and, as others have said in this thread, you acted appropriately.
thanks all, it just felt wrong to see someone laying there and not doing anything to help them. If I could have delayed their leaving for just a few more min the local pd would've been there. but on the other hand (like everyone's been saying), its not really my problem (as cold as that sounds)

10 Reasons For 52,000 Miles And 1 INSANE WORK OF ART!
The Unity Collective USA is a peace movement started by, The Bergamot. The concept is to share uplifting music, garner unifying signatures + messages onto The Unity Car while documenting the American dream in motion. The Bergamot, Jillian Speece and Nathaniel Hoff, set forth on January 2nd, 2016 to tour all 50 states of America. By the end of the tour the car (aka The Unity Car) will become a collective art piece we can share with the world as a symbol of hope. On January 2nd, 2016 The Bergamot launched The Unity Collective USA from NYC and set out in our 2002 Volvo with 273,000 miles on it to tour all 50 States in America as The Unity Collective USA. The goal with "The Unity Collective USA" was to perform uplifting music in every state inviting new and old fans to sign the outside of "The Unity Car" with their message of peace and unity. By August 27, 2016 The Bergamot had toured all 50 states and performed 100 shows. Their fans helped create a peace movement and a collective art piece showing the world we are more united than divided. In a world where fear, uncertainty, and worry are the main selling point in the news we feel there has never been a greater time to stand united in peace. The Bergamot is currently auctioning off "The Unity Car", to donate 100% of the proceeds to Beacon Children's Hospital (Formerly Memorial Children's Hospital). They will follow that up with a full-length documentary.
