The Lake District in England's north west, is only about forty miles across. If you got up early you could probably walk across the whole area in a day. But as William Wordsworth, the Lake District's most famous resident has observed, there is so much variety in this small area that it is almost a world within itself: "I do not know of any tract of country in which, in so narrow a compass, may be found an equal variety in the influences of light and shadow upon the sublime and beautiful features" (Guide To The Lakes, 1810). Variety really is the key to the Lakes. There are pastures, pleasant hills, wild fells, peaceful lakes, isolated tarns, and busy resorts. The climate is extremely variable and different conditions can be found by driving just a few miles. The Lake District has been a popular destination since the beginning of tourism in the UK. Thomas Pennant produced what was in effect the first tourist guide with his Tour of Scotland in 1772. This was soon followed by Thomas West's guides to the Lake District published in 1778, which sold in huge quantities. Both West and Pennant were scholars and had spent much time guiding young nobles around their Grand Tour of Europe. Now they were turning their attention to their own country.
The Lake District was part of the cult of nature which grew up in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a cult that could only really become established once man's influence over nature had been confirmed. Previously nature had generally been viewed with suspicion or downright fear, since the natural world held so many uncontrollable dangers. The Lake District, for all it's well deserved fame as a place of natural beauty, is not a "natural" environment. If humans didn't live in Britain the Lake District would be covered in woodland. The original Wildwood in this area was cut down thousands of years ago, and the present appearance of the Lakes has been largely shaped by the keeping of Herdwick sheep. The sheep crop the grass closely, and unlike cattle they put nothing back as manure; all the minerals they take from feeding go into their wool. This process of taking a lot without returning much has left the ground open and prone to erosion. As Hunter Davis puts it: "After sheep have grazed heavily, land once fit for oaks, which is how it once was, is only good enough for bracken" (A Walk Around The Lakes P95). When the Forestry Commission came to plant areas of the Lakes with conifers there were complaints from conservationists. In reality the trees represented a more natural landscape than the one preceding it.
The Lake District is not a place of "natural" beauty: it is rather a place where man and nature coming together has produced a remarkably beautiful landscape. It is almost a Capability Brown park. Indeed the beautiful Tarn Hows near Coniston, one of the most visited places in the Lakes, was created in the nineteenth century by damming a stream and joining together three swampy pools. The Tarn and all its surrounding landscaping are man made parkland. Although the rest of the Lakes show a more indirect human influence, their appearance is still largely determined by man. I like to think of the Lakes as Coleridge's fantastical world of Xanadu, a place full of measureless chasms and natural wonders, which are nevertheless part of the great Pleasure Dome built for Kubla Khan. Conservation has always been a hot topic in the Lakes, with Wordsworth leading campaigns to stop the masses coming in, and Canon Rawnsley setting up the National Trust here. But the lakes are what they are because of mans' activities.
It is often claimed that tourism threatens the Lake District. In fact attempts to preserve the Lakes are made because they are considered beautiful by so many people. Hectic though it does get on a Spring Bank Holiday in some Lakeland spots, tourism helps to save what it threatens to destroy. If there was no tourism, then there would be a greater likelihood that the land would be used for something else, by an industry with less of a vested interest in keeping the place looking beautiful.
In his Guide to the Lakes, Wordsworth suggested starting a tour of the Lake District at Windermere. The railway ends here, a memorial to Wordsworth's objections to the railway going any further. Bowness on Windermere is the Lakes most popular resort with over ten thousand boats registered. Numerous water sports are on offer. In the middle of Lake Windermere is Belle Isle, which can be visited by a ferry. There is a circular Georgian house on the island. According to Wordsworth, Mr English, the original owner, was the first man to move to the Lakes for the sake of the scenery. Brockhole Information Centre on the shores of Windermere is the National Trust's popular Lake District visitors' centre. There is an adventure playground, a shop, a restaurant, gardens and information archive. Educational activities are also well catered for.

Wordsworth was sent to school in Hawkshead following the death of his mother. Wordsworth's first known poems were written to celebrate the bicentenary of Hawkshead Grammar School.
Hawkshead is right in the heart of the Lake District, beside Esthwaite Water, and within easy walking distance of Windermere and Coniston. Hawkshead is the most beautifully preserved town in the Lakes, with seventeenth century timber framed buildings and some impressive houses built for wealthy wool merchants. The Grammar School survives and is now a museum.
Hawkshead Grammar School has facilities for educational visits related to the Lakeland poets.

Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth on 7th April 1770. The Wordsworth's house is the grandest in the town, and came with his father's job, working for the powerful Lowther family. The house can be visited, and it is much as it was when Wordsworth lived there.

There are wonderful walks around Coniston. At the head of the lake there is a view, looking towards the Old Man of Coniston, that Wordsworth loved. Most of the lake shore is now owned by the National Trust or the Forestry Commission and is open to the public. There are three islands, and one of these, Peel Island, is the model for Wild Cat Island in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons. Coniston was the place where Donald Campbell was killed attempting to break the water speed record in his boat Bluebird in 1967.
Brantwood in Coniston was the home of John Ruskin, patron of the arts, painter, countryside planner, and admirer of women who were too young for him. The house is now a museum to his life and work.

Grasmere is where Wordsworth settled in 1799. He lived first at Dove Cottage, and after fulminating against the building of a new large house in the village, was forced to swallow his pride and move into the house, Allen Bank, with his growing family in 1808. It was at Allen Bank that the famous Lake Poet partnership between Wordsworth and Coleridge came to an end. After a period of wanderings, Coleridge had returned to the Lakes and stayed with the Wordsworths at Allen Bank for eighteen months. The final row is supposed to have involved Wordsworth calling Coleridge "a rotten drunkard" who had "rotted his entrails out of intemperance". In 1813 Wordsworth moved into his last house, Rydal Mount.
Both Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount can be visited. Dove Cottage runs an extensive programme of activities and tours aimed at families, schools and groups. For schools there are resource packs, workshops and guided tours. Much of this is geared towards the National Curriculum. Rydal Mount, within walking distance of Dove Cottage, along the shores of Grasmere, offers guided tours. For more details click on the links.
There are easy walks around Grasmere, but the town is well situated for more ambitious fell walks on Scafell, Helvellyn, and Langdale Pikes.
Keswick is an excellent central base from which to explore the Lakes. Getting to the secluded western lakes, such as Wastwater, Ennerdale and Buttermere is difficult from Windermere, but fairly easy from Keswick.
Keswick has the world's oldest, and first, pencil factory. There is a popular museum dedicated to pencils, which contains the worlds longest pencil. There is also the Fitz Park Museum dedicated to the Lake Land group of writers, which contains letters and manuscripts by Wordsworth, Robert Southey, John Ruskin, Thomas de Quincey and others. The original copy of the children's story The Three Bears by Robert Southey can be seen here.
Keswick has many easy walks, the most popular taking a course along the shores of Derwent Water to Friar's Crag. There are memorial stones to John Ruskin and Canon Rawnsley. Cat Bells at the western side of Derwent Water is an excellent choice for an easy fell walk, or for people who have not done much fell walking before. Beatrix Potter loved Cat Bells. Skiddaw near Keswick is also a relatively easy walk, inspite of being one of the highest peaks in the Lakes. The top of Skiddaw, incidentally is the place where the Southeys, the Coleridges and the Wordsworths had a bonfire party to celebrate victory at Waterloo in 1815.
Tennyson was staying with a friend on the shores of Bassenthwaite near Keswick when he was writing his King Arthur fantasy Idylls of the King. Views of Bassenthwaite inspired scenes where the Lady of the Lake takes back Excalibur from the injured Arthur.
Coleridge, before destroying his health with drink and drugs, was a man of action. He would go out onto the fells for days at a time, and was the first non-Lake District resident to climb Scafell. He would sometimes climb Helvellyn at night (not to be recommended), and did so on the night he made his way from Keswick to Grasmere to read the Wordsworths the latest part of his poem Christabell. William's sister Dorothy cooked him a chop as he read.
Ennerdale was one of Coleridge's favourite places. This is the most westerly of the lakes, and as in Coleridge's day it is hard to get to. It is the only lake without a road, and getting to it involves parking at Bowness Knot, which is near the lake, and walking.
Coleridge would not recognise Ennerdale today, as it has been widely planted with conifers by the Forestry Commission
The Valley of Buttermere has three lakes where the fells come straight down to the water's edge. It is a beautiful area, and the five mile walk around Buttermere takes about two hours.
The topography of the narrow valley meant it was easy to defend following the Norman invasion of 1066. The English made Buttermere their secret headquarters following the invasion, and staged a counter attack from here. The Normans were never able to capture the valley.
Buttermere was also well known in the nineteenth century as the home of the Beauty of Buttermere. The Beauty was a woman called Mary Robinson who was tricked into marriage by a confidence trickster, calling himself the Hon Augustus Hope. The police soon caught up with Hope and revealed him as a swindler who had many wives and fatherless children. The case was quite sensational, and thousands of people came to Buttermere to see the Beauty. Mary was daughter of the owner of the Royal Oak where she worked as a waitress. The story ended well for Mary, since the business the scandal generated for Buttermere and the Royal Oak was huge. Mary is mentioned, as the Maid of Buttermere, in Wordsworth's The Prelude.
Fell Walking and General Guides
The Lake District has many general guide books dedicated to it. If you are interested in walking the fells the best guides remain Wainwright's guides. Wainwright, from Blackburn, moved to the Lakes and spent thirteen years walking every fell. His handwritten guide books, originally published privately, are wonderfully individual, informative and entertaining.
Nobody can compete with Wainwright when it comes to giving advice on fell walking. I will leave a final word on general guidance to walking in the Lake District to him. Just remember that Wainwright knew the fells better than anyone, and if you are new to fell walking you must take care, and take advice from your guide books on safe routes. Also be aware that the weather can be unpredictable, and even on a nice day you should prepare for cold at the top of a high fell. That said I'll hand you over to Wainwright:
"Comfort is the thing. Wear shoes or sandals or go barefoot if these suit you better. Comfort includes keeping warm and dry but ways of achieving it differ greatly... You see hikers starting forth for a day on the hills burdened as though they were starting a six month expedition to Antarctica. They are grim and anguished when they ought to be carefree and smiling. The fells are not monsters but amiable giants. You can romp over them and pull the hairs on their chests and shout in their ears and treat them rough and they won't mind a bit. Go amongst them as you go amongst friends."

C9 show off new VIKING class expansion TEASER
The wind, roaring in from the ocean to beat at the village of Kamagua, tore at the hides that stretched over frames made of the bones of great sea creatures. When the storm passed, the tuskarr whose home this had been for years uncounted knew they would need to repair or replace nets and traps. Their dwellings, sturdy though they were, were always harmed when this storm descended. They had all gathered inside the large group dwelling that had been dug deep into the earth, lacing the flaps tight against the storm and lighting smoky oil lamps.
A new expansion C9, ninth seal continent, will be released free to play the game on June 23 in. This new piece of information called "Baltic King" will be the Vikings, a new fishing system, adding a new class of aircraft.

NEW PERFORMANCES Summer 2011
The newly released recording by Charles Matthews of Francis Routh's The Well-Tempered Pianist (Redcliffe Recordings RR 021) has been well received by audiences, players and critics. It is a study in new tonality, and each Prelude uses the scale of extended tonality in the same way that Bach used the diatonic scale in Das Wohltemperirte Klavier. To the classical pianistic tradition is added contemporary virtuosity.
"Routh's music is to the point, virile, tonal, vividly
MusicWeb – International
"Francis Routh's exuberantly inventive 24 Preludes for Piano... Matthews is on commanding form throughout, bestowing upon each prelude its own special character with a beguiling range of tonal and micro-pedalling."

At Land O'Lakes
Score: Fivay 25, Land O'Lakes 22
Spring game-breakers: Land O'Lakes' Harrison Wood helped the Gators to an early 14-6 lead, running the ball 11 times for 55 yards and two touchdowns. His efforts appeared to be until late in the third quarter when the Falcons began mounting a comeback. … Fivay's Andrew Meyer excelled on both sides of the ball with two interceptions and seven receptions for 100 yards. … Land O'Lakes quarterback Ethan Weilant completed 12 of 20 passes for 157 yards. … Fivay sophomore running back Noah Siegrest tacked on a late touchdown that made the difference in the fourth quarter with an 86-yard burst to put Fivay up by nine immediately after the Gators failed to tie the score with a field goal. Land O'Lakes responded with a long touchdown run but fell short of closing the gap.
Did you know? Fivay improves to 2-0 in spring games, having beaten River Ridge in its first spring game last season. Land O'Lakes will be without starting center and long snapper John Kranendonk for the summer and beginning of next season after he sustained a torn ACL in a scrimmage last week. He will have surgery June 5 and hopes to be back practicing in September.
Audible: "I think the boys had prom tomorrow night on their minds before football. That's what spring is for, to get them down to earth a little bit and realize how difficult the road ahead is going to be." — Fivay coach Chris Taylor

Vice President Joe Biden's defense of China's one-child policy has yet to be mentioned in the print edition of the New York Times, even though the paper has devoted several stories to Biden's Asia trip.
Edward Wong on Monday quoted Biden's remarks on human rights from a Q&A session at Sichuan University, but overlooked the vice president's stunning comment on China's policy of population control, which has resulted in forced abortion and sterilization: "You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family. The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable."
Despite the Times blackout, the quotes gained circulation, forcing Biden to backtrack. On Tuesday The Daily Caller reported his spokesman's spin that the vice president was actually criticizing China's policy: "He was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience."
The only Times mention of Biden's remarks that Times Watch could find was a post on the paper's "Caucus" blog Tuesday afternoon, when Republican candidate Mitt Romney attacked Biden for the remarks. But it didn't make it into the paper on Wednesday. By contrast, Parker's Monday afternoon post on the "Caucus" portraying Romney as hypocritical for expanding a seaside home made it into Tuesday's print edition.
From Parker's post on Romney's criticism of Biden:
Calling China's policy "gruesome and barbaric," Mr. Romney said in a statement Tuesday morning, "Vice President Biden's acquiescence to such a policy should shock the conscience of every American."
Mr. Romney was responding to comments Mr. Biden made during a question-and-answer session focused on United States debt and entitlement reform at Sichuan University in China, in which he seemed to condone China's policy of allowing families to have just one child in order to limit the country's population. The policy has been linked to coerced abortions and forced sterilization, and has been challenged as a human rights violation.
"Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I'm not second-guessing -- of one child per family," Mr. Biden said. "The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable."
A fawning story Wednesday of Biden in Japan didn't mention the remarks either.

Last Summer, after being encouraged by a number of friends to give the title a chance, I played Tales of Vesperia for the first time. Combining an exciting and fun combat system with an a interesting cast and decent story, it felt like a wonderful hybrid of anime and video games -- which happen to be two of my favorite mediums. Suffice to say, I was hooked on Vesperia, and will definitely go back for a replay some day.
Before I can go back to replay Vesperia however, I have a more ambitious project in mind. Over the years I had purchased a number of games from the Tales series. Despite that, Vesperia was the first in the franchise I actually played through and completed. Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Eternia (Tales of Destiny 2 in America), Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Legendia, and Tales of Xillia -- I own all of these titles, yet I haven't played a single one. It's a testament to the size of my backlog that I have barely so much as mentioned most of these games when discussing just how backed up I've been over the years.
This year, I want to do something about that. It's been a good while since I really put a focus on JRPGs, but with this hole of Tales games burning in my game library, I feel like it's time to do something about this franchise. Hell, I don't even have all the Tales games yet (I still need to buy Tales of Graces, and I believe Tales of Xillia 2 is coming to America in 2014). So I'm hoping to dedicate a lot of game time this year towards completing what I can of this franchise. I don't know whether or not the games will prove as interesting or exciting as Tales of Vesperia, but I do think it's worth my time to check out. I feel like I've been missing out all this time, and it's time to right that gaming wrong. In fact, I've already started. I know Tales of Symphonia has an HD re-release coming later this year, but I already own the original. So I've been playing a little bit of that the last few days. Here's hoping it leaves as much of an impression on me as Vesperia did!
I know from last year's VG Tournament that there are a lot of Tales of Symphonia fans around here, but what about the rest of the series? Does anyone have a particular favorite in the franchise? Are there any I should make sure to play ahead of the others? Curious minds want to know.

Botox can treat migraines
Botox can be used for migraines in certain situations. Botox is a branded botulinum toxin that causes the muscle to relax, so when properly used in the right situations, it can relieve the pressure of a migraine. In any case when you are ready to undergo any medical procedure, it is best to have a consultation with a board certified doctor or dermatologist who you trust. They will give you the honest answers for your unique situation (your starting point, your objectives and your budget). At the Victoria Park Medispa, we take off the consultation fee from any appointment booked, therefore reducing a client's risk of having a treatment performed without taking the time to think about what they really want. Any esthetic tool needs to be in the right hands, to achieve the best possible results.

I've been having severe chronic daily head pain due to occipital and trigeminal neuralgia for most of my life. I am seriously considering Botox as my next pain relief option. However, I am a 23 year old female and don't really have any wrinkle problems. I still want to look like myself, and not like I've had any cosmetic work done. Will the pain relief injection points produce any undesired cosmetic facial changes?"
We have a tendency to call every headache a migraine. That is NOT the case. There are over 150 different types of headaches divided by neurologists into different classes of headaches of which Migraines are but a single class.
Unfortunately, for patients but great for Allergan, Botox has become the duct tape of Medicine. It began as a treatment of severe spastic disorders from which it expanded to smooth wrinkles and be used for voice box spasms, excessive sweating, use in anal fissures and now has MANY unsanctioned off-label uses.
Before you allow yourself to be injected with Botox for your headaches, I would suggest you see a Neurologist who specializes in Headaches and let him recommend the best treatment for you AFTER you were properly diagnosed.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Botox for Migraine
No relationship i the injection of BOTOX in pain release points. Seek either a derm. PS, or even a neurologist to inject you. This may be insurance covered. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski
BOTOX for Migraine is not a cosmetic treatment!!
Dear Huntsville
WIth such severe constant migraines, I would recommend that you consult a university based neurologist to help manage your migraines. The academic doctors don't cut corners and tend to look under every stone to try to figure out why you are have the headaches and how best to treatment. The BOTOX treatment should not be a first choice. Because of the way the treatment is done, and the dose of the BOTOX that may be used, yes there can be significant side effects including systemic side effect with difficulty swallowing, and cosmetic issues. These side effects are weighed against the benefits when the treatment does relieve the headaches. However, if your migraines are severe enough, this treatment is a consideration. It is not administered by cosmetic surgeons but neurologists.

Eight action figures are released to tie into Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Hasbro has identified another cross-market opportunity, announcing a range of action figures to accompany the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron video game from Activision.
Eight toys have been announced so far, the most notable of which is the huge combiner Bruticus figure, which is made up of of five smaller Combaticons.
Like the combiner figures from the '80s, which saw five individual robots combining to form a bigger robot, the most popular Combiner is Devastator, which is made up of the six Constructicons.
This new Bruticus is made of five deluxe sized figures, meaning it is potentially the largest of its kind ever, and the first 'proper' example of a combiner since the early '90s.
Three other figures have also been revealed – Autobots Optimus Prime and Jazz as well as the Decepticon Shockwave. There have been very few examples of Shockwave released since the '80s original, and is bound to become highly collectible.

BOB Hawke was there, celebrating the legacy of his first act as prime minister. Britain's TV ecologist of the 1980s, David Bellamy, was there, recalling how his visit 25 years ago landed him in jail. Almost 1000 grassroots activists who gave their time and energy to stop Tasmania's Franklin River being dammed gathered with them.
And 25 years to the day after the High Court upheld the Hawke government's legislation to stop the Tasmanian government building the Gordon below Franklin dam, presiding over it all was the shy, nature-loving medico and social misfit who grew to be the national leader of the campaign to save the Franklin: Bob Brown.
It was a campaign such as Australia had never seen. A small group of environmentalists, led by Dr Brown, defied plans by the state's powerful Hydro-Electric Commission to flood the lower Gordon and Franklin river valleys as a vast storage lake for a power station. The HEC had given Tasmania the cheap electricity that attracted industry. But now it was claiming the gem of the state's rivers, a primeval landscape of astonishing beauty.
The HEC won the battle of public opinion in Tasmania. But as Dr Brown and his Tasmanian Wilderness Society took the battle to the national stage, momentum built behind them. Protesters came from all over Australia to try to blockade the river and Mr Hawke fought and won the 1983 election partly on a promise to stop the dam. On election night, his first pledge as PM-elect was: "The dam will not be built."
It was the making of Bob Brown as a national figure. In 1976, a friend, Paul Smith, had invited him to raft the Franklin with him. "I had to ask him where it was," Senator Brown told The Age yesterday. "But the 11 days we spent on the river were just transforming the canyons, the Ravine, the wildlife, the ancient forests and then on day 12 we came into the Gordon and were met with the jackhammers of the HEC, and we realised it was going to be obliterated.
"I went back to the surgery in Launceston for a while, but in 1978 I threw it in and went to Hobart and lived in friends' houses. I was very shy and nervous, but I had to do it. I would pick up the phone to do an interview and I would almost drop it, I was shaking so much But I went around the country talking about the river, and I guess I grew in the job."
As the campaign grew, he found himself being forced to develop the skills of a chief executive, forming strategies and attracting finance from supporters. He had no real home, staying with supporters who would keep suits and shirts in a wardrobe for him. Last night he donned one of those suits to preside over the 25th anniversary celebration.
The activism reached its peak in the summer of 1982-83, when hundreds of young Australians converged on the West Coast town of Strachan to carry out a non-violent blockade using rubber rafts and their bodies to try to stop the HEC bulldozers clearing the valley. They were largely ineffective in that, but on television news Australians saw what it was they were trying to save.
"We knew we had to get the beauty of the rivers into everybody's living room," Senator Brown said. And thanks to tourist boat operator Reg Morrison, who ferried the protesters upriver, and Strachan's warden (mayor) Harry McDermott, the blockade was made possible.
At the blockade, 1500 protesters were arrested and 500 jailed, including Bob Brown. David Bellamy recalls his incarceration caused such a stir that when he got home prime minister Margaret Thatcher invited him to brief her about the issue.
Mr Hawke has no regrets. "I thought it was one of the finest things my government did," he said. "It's one of which I am very proud, and the credit goes to the activists of Tasmania, led by Bob Brown."
Senator Brown said it showed people power could win against the odds. Even on the West Coast, where one night he was bashed by dam supporters, the tide has turned, with 150,000 tourists visiting the area last summer to experience the beauty the protesters saved.

[Christopher Turton was discriminated against by Muslim workers because he is a non-Muslim]
By Safia Tharoo,
The Employment Tribunal in Birmingham recently heard a case brought by Christopher Turton against the National Halal Food Group.
Turton was employed in 2009 as a manager. He was one of only two White workers out of more than 300. He was subsequently promoted to the position of National Concessions Manager, however a number of employees were unhappy about his promotion.
An employee sent an email to a self-employer worker questioning the reasons for Turton's promotion, and specifically asking: 'Is it because he is White?' The email went on to note that Turton was ' not a Muslim brother' and added 'Allah is the provider'.
Turton saw a copy of the email and told the employment tribunal that he had been extremely hurt by the comments and believed that he was singled out because of his skin colour and his religion by his co-workers. The Tribunal also heard that Turton found the email 'extremely offensive' and that he was compelled to sign off work with stress. He eventually resigned from the company.
Turton brought a claim for race and religious discrimination. The National Halal Food Group made clear that its management disapproved of the email and had arranged a face to face meeting with those involved and had issued an apology to Turton. The employee who sent the email had also apologised. Notwithstanding this, the employment tribunal held that Turton had found the email to be racist and offensive and that there had been an injury to his feelings.
He was initially awarded £3,000 but this was reduced to £2,550 as he had failed to lodge an official grievance with his former employer before commencing legal proceedings. The Tribunal further recommended that the company issue instructions to its workforce and team leaders, within six months, about their equal opportunities policies.
This case is a prime example of the potential consequences of even one email sent by an employee without the knowledge or even support of their employer. Despite the fact that The National Halal Food Group had taken steps to deal with the situation, and had in no way supported the views of its employee, it was still liable for their actions where those were found to be discriminatory. This is a reminder to all employers of the importance of providing information and training to staff about equal opportunities issues and the consequences of failing to adhere to the spirit and the letter of the policies. It is not inconceivable that such a failure might amount to a disciplinary offence and attract sanctions up to and including dismissal. It also shows the importance of an employer dealing immediately with issues that do arise in a fair and open manner. It is quite possible that had The National Halal Food Group not taken steps to demonstrate their disapproval of the views expressed in the email and not issued an apology that the level of damages could have been higher. Whilst no employer can ever prevent every single one of its employees from ever sending out an email expressing views which are contrary to their policies, it can certainly take many steps towards reducing the chances of this sort of event occurring.

Among the industries of South Bethlehem that have grown from small concerns into world-wide enterprises is one that stands among the first in this town. Started when South Bethlehem was a village, and continuing in growth, under careful management to the present day when it occupies a large space of ground in the town that has now reached nearly the 25,000 mark in population.
The Bethlehem Foundry & Machine Company was started as the Bethlehem Foundry in 1856 by Abbott & Cortright and was used as a foundry and car shop. Upon the death of Mr. Cortright, the business was taken over by Mr. Abbott. Upon Mr. Abbott's retirement, his sons R.A. and M.B. Abbott conducted the business for a number of years, and when R.A. Abbott retired, the other brother continued the business. Later, it was purchased by the Lloyd Valve Co. and was operated as a foundry and as a valve specialty shop.
In April, 1888, the present Bethlehem Foundry & Machine Company was incorporated, and its steady growth followed from then on.

Long-distance routes and tour tips
The highlights of the Ammerland region along a single route: discover the many arboretums, parks and farm gardens that transform the entire region into a horticultural wonderland.
Twenty-one information panels along the route point the way to distinctive features, such as the five 'landscape windows'. These observation towers convey aspects of the history and nature of this landscape. Other distinguishing features besides the parks include fens, marshland and pastures. Windmills line the route, and the wayside towns and villages offer plenty of opportunities for resting tired legs and for sightseeing. After all, there is lots to see and do in the Ammerland region besides cycling: Oldenburg is a great place for a stroll, for example, and Zwischenahn Lake is perfect for swimming and water sports.
Terrain: flat route without any major hills, mostly on asphalt and away from busy roads.
Scenery: circular route around the Ammerland region, numerous parks and gardens and the city of Oldenburg.

Hyper-V Server Released1 October 2008 · Filed in News
Microsoft announced the release of Hyper-V Server 2008 today via a blog post on the Server and Tools Business News Bytes blog (man, is that a mouthful!). Available "later today" as a free download, Hyper-V Server is Microsoft's "bare metal" hypervisor-based virtualization product. Although the blog post said later today, I tried downloading it right away anyway, but the download link apparently doesn't yet work.

Target Group
The prevention of obesity in children and older adults is key to the prevention of type 2 diabetes and several other chronic diseases. Access to health information and diabetes services is limited for certain English-speaking communities in Quebec, particularly those in isolated or rural regions.
This program aimed to increase awareness of the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity among high-risk populations and among decision-makers within the English-speaking minority communities. In addition, it sought to develop partnerships between community organizations and the health and social services centres (the "CSSS").
The regional English-speaking communities partnered with local health institutions to carry out various activities related to prevention and self-management, including:
Process evaluation measures included maintaining a program diary; qualitative surveys of seniors and steering committee members, and pre- and post-surveys of knowledge, awareness and behaviour.
Age-appropriate pre- and post-test questionnaires and satisfaction forms were administered to high school students and seniors. In addition, focus groups were held with seniors and youth in two of the target communities. Seniors and youth were the main focus of the evaluation, as most of the project activities were aimed at these two populations.
Results indicated that knowledge and awareness of diabetes increased among participants, but it was difficult to assess whether any changes had been made to dietary or physical activity practices. The evaluation also confirmed that important partnerships were established between the project partners (community organizations) and the public health system.
Comments on the evaluations centred on three points:
"The public sector is beginning to realize the value of community groups. It was skeptical at first, but now it values them as partners and sees how far the little funds they [community groups] receive can go."
Project Coordinator
A number of resources were developed for this program:

The apparent simplicity of social media belies the little-considered hazards that frequently imperil — often without just cause — the companies that have largely come to depend on social networking sites for marketing, customer relations, and survival.
Corynne McSherry, Intellectual Property Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) — a non-profit digital rights advocacy and legal organization — recently spoke with the Intuit Small Business Blog regarding the social media-related challenges that can — and seemingly do without warning — spark serious and substantial headaches for small business owners.
"Social networking tools can be a fantastic way to market your company," McSherry contends. "However, when you use third-party service providers, you may make yourself dependent on that provider, with little recourse if the provider decides to end the relationship. If Facebook decides to take down your page due to a copyright, trademark, or terms of service complaint, can you have it restored? Maybe yes, maybe no, depending on what led to the takedown and your ability to get the issue resolved. In the meantime, your business may be affected."
A DMCA Dilemma
McSherry, of course, is speaking to the larger issue of DMCA takedown abuse, about which the EFF has been particularly critical. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that criminalizes technology, services, or actions that circumvent safeguards established to control access to copyrighted works. Simply put, your Twitter account, Facebook page, or website could be pulled offline if you're on the receiving end of a DMCA takedown — a takedown, for instance, that could be provoked by someone unwittingly posting a link on your company's Facebook page that leads to stolen content.
"We've recently seen the same scenario with music bloggers," McSherry notes on the EFF blog, "who may have their entire sites taken down as a result of complaints about a few links to music they're reviewing."
Incredibly, however, you don't even have to be directly responsible for the DMCA violation in order to be nefariously impacted by it. "Last year a takedown notice targeting a single site parodying the U.S. Chamber of Commerce resulted in a takedown of the websites of over 300 activist organizations hosted by MayFirst/PeopleLink," McSherry says.
A New Understanding of Social Media's Latent Threats
In the relatively short period of time that social networking has been an almost unavoidable aspect of daily life, it has wreaked havoc on countless small businesses, numerous non-profits, and a fair share of major corporations — each of which was rocked by scandal born of social networking. But most of these high-profile cases are unrelated to the specific concerns about which McSherry and her organization are trying to raise awareness.
From insider trading allegations tied to unauthorized tweets to workplace allegations of sexual harassment born of inappropriate Facebook posts, the veritable marketing goldmine that is social media has actually resulted in scores of nightmarish consequences for those who failed to acknowledge the dark side of unbridled social networking in the workplace.
But perhaps the darkest side of all is the fact that your hard work and well-established digital presence could be wiped away in a flash, leaving you and your business without a promotional lifeline and, perhaps, a way to make a living.
So what can — or should — a small business owner do to safeguard against the hazards of social networking that the EFF warns of?
"Try to find service providers," McSherry advises, "who won't terminate the relationship without substantial reasons. You might also want to look for a service provider that is committed to protecting privacy of its customers."
At the end of the day, do the benefits of using social media outweigh any potential risks?
"That's hard to say," McSherry says. "Many companies make effective use of social media, and individual companies need to weigh the risks for themselves. What is important is to spend some time thinking the issues through in advance."
Ultimately, McSherry concludes, the struggles born of contemporary social networking may very well have more to do with basic civil liberties than most realize.
"Social media companies have raised a host of new issues from a civil liberties perspective, because they give individuals, groups, and businesses new tools for speech, while at the same time raising significant privacy concerns," she says. "All social media users should pay close attention to the practices of the social media companies with which they do business, from speech (will your page be taken down at the slightest whiff of a complaint and is there a process for challenge and restoration?) to privacy (what information about you and your customers is bring recorded and how long is it stored?)."

Greeley City Council: Oil, gas setbacks will do more harm than good
January 23, 2013
Let's start with a quote from a University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business 2010 report: "The oil and gas industry, along with nearly all extraction industries, inherently provide substantial economic benefits due to its integrated supply chain, high-wage jobs and propensity to sell nationally and globally."
With unemployment hovering around 8 percent in Colorado, why is the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission planning to increase setbacks for wells statewide, knowing that this will slow economic development, including job growth?
We think that's a good question. By all measures, our national economy is recovering slowly, including job growth in both the public and private sectors. Add to that the significant challenges in rebuilding and maintaining every city's infrastructure, the continuing slump in the housing and construction sectors, Colorado's struggles to fund education and it just doesn't make sense to slow the recovery for so many Americans.
Drill down deeper to the municipal level, no pun intended, and what you'll see in Greeley and in other cities' economic development plans is a foundational element that says it's critical to provide good-paying jobs in order to support a high quality of life for every resident. You'll also see that private sector capital investment and the corresponding property values and property tax revenue is highly sought after to help all residents, including more funding for schools.
A responsible partnership between Greeley and the oil and gas industry is helping the community achieve its economic development goals in a way that has been safe and reasonably compatible with growth. However, the proposed one-size-fits-all statewide drilling setbacks will jeopardize this. It is our contention that land-use regulations and management should be left in local hands.
Here's how we see it:
» The economy is improving due to oil and gas development.
» Average oil and gas industry wage is $72,000; this is 51 percent higher than the state average for all industries.
» The industry is among our largest tax contributors; direct 2012 city revenues equals $3,191,000.
» In 2010, Weld County was home to 5,181 oil and gas industry employees; 5.4 percent of county workforce and 8.4 percent of total county wage.
» 100-125 people are employed per well during well development.
» More than $2.7 million in royalties are paid per well.
» More than $1.1 million in ad valorem taxes are collected per well.
Economic opportunities will be lost if a 500-foot setback rule is approved:
» Beyond losses in jobs, income and public improvements, Greeley will lose the ability to develop up to 33 percent of the land in its long-range development area. In other words, increasing setbacks will significantly reduce the amount of residential, commercial and industrial development possible within the community.
And as a final illustration of the potential negative impact of increased oil and gas setbacks on communities, consider this:
If a 500-foot setback rule was in place in 2011, it would have precluded the construction of a major food processing facility on a 90-acre Brownfield site located in an economically distressed area of Greeley. This would have resulted in the loss of the following economic benefits over 20 years.
» Lost: The company's $250,000,000 investment, including 400 non-construction jobs.
» Lost: $325 million for Greeley and its residents.
» Lost: $4.8 billion for Weld County residents.
» Lost: $10.1 billion for Colorado residents.
Greeley has much experience with oil and gas including an attempt to ban drilling within the city. When the Colorado Supreme Court said we couldn't do that, a 350-foot setback was created — this has worked for more than 20 years.
If you feel as we do that Colorado residents should have local control, contact the COGCC at http://www.cogcc.state.co.us and let them know.
The Greeley City Council, Thomas E. Norton, mayor; Charles Archibeque, Ward I; Donna Sapienza, Ward II; John Gates, Ward III; Mike Finn, Ward IV; Sandi Elder, at-large; and Robb Casseday, at-large.

I'll try to explain again. If you have an existing (e.g. ssh) connection to a host across the interface, and the interface comes down then pppd _will not bring it up again_ until you try to start a new connection, as far as I have experienced. Therefore you will get the old behaviour and my patch will do nothing. I decided it was better to inform ssh that the link was dead. Like I said, the solution to this is to make pppd cleverer about bringing the link up when there are existing connections. Alternatively, you could have some dubious script parsing netstat checking whether there are connections over the interface. and pinging hosts at intervals to bring the link up again ;-) Here is a patch for pppd-2.4.0 orig that will give you the behaviour you want, provided you can solve the problem in the first paragraph. It almost exactly the same as my last patch. It compiles and everything. Note that there are no changes required to the kernel side patch to enable this functionality.

Our Cover Story this month may not have a flying, time-travelling DeLorean on its pages, but we're pretty sure what we do have covered is just as cool. In fact, while even the DeLorean required climate changing fossil fuels to run, the electric vehicles we've got on display don't, paving the way for a humming, emission-free future.
We're sure you've taken Note-ice of Samsung's latest Galaxy Note 3 by now, but if you want to know everything about why it's the new King of the Phablets, we've got a pretty comprehensive review of it for you. Oh, and we checked out the new Galaxy Gear while we were at it too. Also, it's not everyday we get to test $1,300 earphones (no, that's not a typo), so we were extremely excited to wrap our canals around the Shure SE846. Are they really worth that much? Can earphones sound that good? Can we stop asking ourselves questions? Read the article to find out.

Cops, go arrest all 120,000 rally participants
YOURSAY 'Umno-BN thinks that through harassment and selective prosecution, the people will be cowed. They are wrong.'
PKR leader charged over Kelana Jaya black rally
Maplesyrup: People are tired of the politicking since 308 (March 2008). We would have thought that after GE13, BN can get down to administering since they should be grateful that they have another five years to make improvements to win back the hearts of the 52 percent who rejected them.
In spite of the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) and going by Bersih co-coordinator Ambiga Sreenevasan's advice that a notification is not required, we still have the police's action, which ordinary folks like us would interpret as persecution.
Malaysia will be doomed because of the 47 percent who voted for BN. This is because BN politicians will be busy putting down the opposition instead of governing.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Idris Jala can go do his Government Transformation Programme (GTP), Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) or whatever, but the real government is only interested in snuffing out Pakatan Rakyat.
Touche: I fully support Seri Setia assemblyperson Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
Why don't the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) arrest and charge former Court of Appeal judge Mohd Noor Abdullah and new Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for racist and seditious statements?
In order for the rakyat to exercise their democratic right and freedom to vote whichever party they choose, it is imperative to have public rallies and protests.
It's time for Bersih 4.0. Don't be cowed and intimidated by BN and PDRM. Otherwise, our democracy will be dead forever.
Onyourtoes: The election is over. Umno-BN now thinks it is time to play hard ball again. They think that through the methods of harassment and selective prosecution, the people will be cowed. They are wrong.
I think this minority government has grossly underestimated the resolve of the people and their leaders. No election ever in this country or elsewhere has generated so much passion and demonstrated so much determination.
Renegade Umno-BN has now taken the 'next' step to contain us. What about we the people? If all constitutional means and the electoral system have failed us miserably, what is our next course of action?
Ferdtan: If PKR communications chief Nik Nazmi can be charged under the PAA, then the 120,000 supporters who attended the so-called "illegal rally" should likewise be put behind bars.
As the police are so efficient in investigating cases related to Pakatan, why were there no similarly quick and equally efficient investigations against the BN supporters?
Until today, investigations had been done on the police report against blogger Papagomo and a reader - Shahrizad Mohd Diah - for allegedly urging all Malays to riot (the unprintable, much stronger word than riot was used) against the Chinese for voting for the opposition.
The evidence of the call for violence and the people who issued the call could be easily identified, and yet the police hesitated?
The police (or is it the Attorney-General's Chambers?), by delaying in charging the duo for sedition, are hoping that the people will forget about those remarks.
Never. We shall keep reminding them. We want these two to be taught a lesson.
MockingYou: Umno-BN is running scared and no amount of postal, army and Bangladeshi votes can save them come GE14.
They're trying to provoke an intifada so that they can root out the opposition once and for all. The rakyat need to keep their heads cool, but we must firmly resolve to beat them in the ballot box.
Another five years is not too long, and time (old coots like me will pass away sooner or later) together with numbers (new and young voters) are on the rakyat's side. Ini kali lah!
JMC: You charge the man who is fighting against gross and blatant electoral fraud, but what about those who committed that major crime of robbing the people of their votes? Why is there no action taken against such 'daylight robbery'?
From Penang: It seems that there is no intention at all from PDRM and BN to reform following the GE13 results. This is the first indication that we are not going to see any improvement in democracy in this country.
Holden: By charging a representative of the people, you are angering the people. This person is here to serve the rakyat, not to be used as a political pawn in Umno's games.
Stop harassing the people and get down to attending to more crucial issues such as crime, corruption, etc.
Democrat: This will only make the opposition stronger. BN, like the mainstream media, never seem to learn this.
Nonbeliever: Conscience is defined as the "faculty of recognising the distinction between right and wrong in regards to one's own conduct, together with the feeling that one ought not to do wrong".
If you have no conscience, you have corruption. It applies to all, including the police.

ESL 0012: English as a Second Language
Finding Books
You can search for books in a number of ways:
Keyword searches: "science fiction"
look for your keywords anywhere in the catalog description of a book (usually this search is the broadest as it will pick up even minor mentions of your topic). Put quotes around phrases for more accurate results. Combine keywords with AND to narrow your search. Combine keywords with OR to broaden your search.
Subject searches: Fairy Tales
find any book on a certain subject BUT "subjects" are defined by the Library of Congress and may not be the words you think they should be. (So it's Mythology, Greek not Greek Mythology).
Title search: Myths
finds any book with that word in the title. (A quick but not foolproof way to find relevant books on your keyword/topic).
Think about the ways you could describe your topic and try searching by those keywords in the library catalog. Use reference sources to come up with ideas.
Finding Background Information
Books in the Reference section stay in the library, but read and use them to help you choose paper topics, then develop and write them. Click on the following links for searches of the reference collection on some topics of interest:
