By Judith Garcia, Chelsea City Council and UPPLI Participant
Chelsea's history is filled with great successes and some disappointing failures. At one time, the city was a leading manufacturer of wooden sailing vessels. Its factories created shoes, stoves, and precision timepieces. The Chelsea Clock Company is one of America's oldest and finest.
The city has also been the site of devastating fires, poverty, and corruption. Following its economic collapse in 1990, Chelsea was placed in receivership. From that point, and the low point of corruption that preceded it, Chelsea created a new city charter to restore its governance and secure a stronger future.
Today, Chelsea is starting to realize the potential so many have seen for so long. One of those visionaries was a real estate developer named Anthony C. Simboli, who took a chance in the years after the Great Fire of 1973 and built new office buildings to lure new businesses back to Chelsea. In fact, Chelsea's recent explosion of growth culminated with Simboli's construction of the new regional headquarters for Boston's FBI offices, which recently opened on Maple Street.
Chelsea is home to active commercial and industrial space, as well as a diverse complement of urban living options, combining new construction with older, less-expensive properties. All this was made possible because of the risks various developers have taken over the years—risks I never completely understood until I had a chance to put myself in the shoes of a real estate developer.
Recently I was invited – along with six other newly elected public officials from cities and towns around the Commonwealth – to take part in the inaugural class of ULI Boston/New England's Urban Plan Public Leadership Institute. The goal of the Institute is to give elected officials the opportunity to gain a better understanding of real estate and land use fundamentals, by focusing on leadership, integrated problem solving, public/private collaboration and peer-to-peer learning.
We received a briefing on the public-private partnership that is transforming 13 blocks of public housing in Charlestown, known as the Bunker Hill Apartments. It was the first time I had a chance to fully understand how a developer evaluates a project and takes the necessary steps to get a deal financed, permitted and built.
After the briefing, I and my newly elected colleagues were transformed into developers and site planners to respond to a fictional request for proposal to convert a blighted area into a mixed-use neighborhood. After months of learning about the municipal process, each of us had to step out of our roles as elected officials and be the real estate developer. Speaking for myself, I will say the task was not easy.
As I have settled into my role as a member of the Chelsea City Council, I have studied how the rapid pace of change is affecting our community. The exercise of orchestrating a fictional neighborhood's future and character with Lego pieces helped me recognize that development is about more than just building. There are multiple stakeholders and multiple goals to achieve, while also trying to earn a sufficient return on investment.
Each of the participants in the exercise had the same goal: to transform an area of blight into a vibrant, healthy community that would benefit current residents, as well as newcomers. Doing so, helped me recognize that developers have genuine concerns about how the places they create will affect the character of a community.
I came to better understand that being a developer requires a long-term perspective; it involves taking into consideration the needs of different stakeholders, while measuring risk and evaluating how contentious issues can be solved through negotiation, concession and understanding. Being a politician requires the ability to balance the needs of the public and private sector. We have the responsibility of choosing the right plans and the right partners with whom we can collaborate. And, in order to do that, we must enter honestly into our relationships with developers, so we can trust them to change the urban landscape, and still deliver on our promise to improve quality of life for our residents and businesses.
Fresh from my experience in the Urban Plan Public Policy Leadership Institute, I am able to envision a Chelsea that both develops an outer-rim with mixed-use development, while it preserves its historic character and nurtures healthy residential neighborhoods in its core.

'The Young Pope' Starring Jude Law Dated for Blu-rayPosted Thu Mar 16, 2017 at 08:00 AM PDT by Steven Cohen
Director Paolo Sorrentino's HBO drama is heading to Blu-ray in June.
In an early announcement to retailers, HBO is preparing 'The Young Pope' for Blu-ray on June 6.
Created and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, The Young Pope tells the controversial story of the beginning of Pius XIII's pontificate. Lenny Belardo (Jude Law), aka Pius XIII, is the first American Pope in history. Young and charming, his election might seem the result of a simple and effective media strategy by the College of Cardinals. But, as we know, appearances can be deceptive. Especially in the place and among the people who have chosen the great mystery of God as the guiding light of their existence. That place is the Vatican and those people are the leaders of the Catholic Church. And the most mysterious and contradictory figure of all turns out to be Pius XIII himself. Shrewd and naïve, old-fashioned and very modern, doubtful and resolute, ironic, pedantic, hurt and ruthless, Pius XIII tries to walk the long path of human loneliness to find a God for mankind. And for himself.
Specs have not been detailed yet, but supplements will include three special features including an exclusive new "The Making of The Young Pope" featurette
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $59.99.
You can find the latest specs for 'The Young Pope' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under June 6.

Then be afraid.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
I would create a system image to a totally separate hard drive well before attempting the upgrade,
For one just in case you just do not like win-10
The system restore back to the previous os is pretty bad.
Second in case the upgrade completely fails or stalls which I've been reading quite a bit of those happening and without a system image your current install is in jeopardy.
Imaging with free Macrium
If you have a spare hard drive which does not sound like you do
There are many other ways to upgrade,
Which most the time installing win-10 from scratch is recommended
So if you have special software and you don't have activation key for it you should see into retrieving those activation key because at some point some software/ programs might need to be reinstalled.

The brain transduces sensory stimuli, processes information and stores memory within large networks of neurons linked together by synaptic connections. Our laboratory is working to understand what particular features of synapses affect their strength, reliability and independence, and how these attributes contribute to their role in the function of the network. Specifically, we study how the relative location and number of calcium channels and vesicle release sites in the presynaptic terminals of CA1 synapses may influence short-term plasticity of synaptic transmission. We find that depletion shapes the relative size of response pairs even at low-probability synapses, due to uneven recruitment of release sites within single active zones. This work has been published in the Journal of Neuroscience. We also have forged a collaboration with David Cook at the University of Washington to measure quantitatively the time course of glutamate uptake in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease. We find that A beta peptide, a critical molecular component of the disease, reduces glutamate transport by inducing internalization, ubiquitination and aggregation of the glutamate transporter GLT-1. Furthermore, this effect is inhibited by antioxidants, including Vitamin E analogs. A manuscript has been published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Finally, we have begin to collaborate with Stephen Traynelis at Emory University to examine the role of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) on synaptic transmission, particularly on synaptic ultrastructure and glutamate uptake. We find that PAR-1 speeds the clearance of synaptically released glutamate. Interestingly, this does not appear to reflect an increase in uptake capacity, suggesting that PAR-1 may have effects on synaptic ultrastructure. A manuscript is in preparation.

Storm door clip
A home owner from North Carolina says:
June 13, 2016
I purchased the 1/2 " deep storm door clip 70-098S. While the depth is perfect, it is too long. I need a 1/2" width too. See the attached photo. Do you have anything that will work? I'm as a loss with what to do.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
June 15, 2016
I have seen the clip you show in your photo before. I don't believe we can supply it, or if it is even still available. I suggest cutting down the back of the 70-098S to the size you need. Using a hack saw and a set of pliers should do the job.

Rain Dance
It had been raining since late night. Sritoma woke up to the sound of mellow rumbling of clouds and rain drops whispering outside the bed-side window. The incessant rain through the night had metamorphosed the sultry summer night into a cool and pleasant morning.
Sritoma, 15, stared outside the window with sleepy eyes soaking in the flavor of the early morning rain. "Toma! Are you up yet?", Anuradha's voice from the kitchen brought her back to reality. The morning was supposed to be beautiful, but instead it seemed shrouded in gloom. A lot had been going at home since the last two days. Dadu was ill, very ill, more than he had been all these years—compounded by his whim not to be taken to a hospital and "left to rot"! Finally, they did manage to coax him to a nursing home, but by then he was too weak to protest. And then there was this man…."Come, get your breakfast dear! How much longer would you take to get out of bed?". Sritoma pulled herself up.
It was a virtual holiday. It had been raining in Kolkata since the past week—relentlessly, like some curse had befallen on the rain gods. The streets were water logged, transport hindered, and she knew she was old enough to bunk a few days of school. She loved the rains, did Sritoma, loved to listen to the sound of it, and soak in the smell and the romance that surrounded it. But this time, it was a bit different. Doctors said that it was the sudden rains and temperature dip that had caused dadu's latest illness. However, there was another dark cloud built up inside her—darker and deeper than those in the sky.
As she entered the dining room and stood by the table, her eyes met the man sitting opposite her. Eyes she knew only too well. The face, too hadn't changed much, except for the carelessly grown beard. It made her weak in the knees to think that it was her own father sitting opposite to her—the first time in eight years they were so close to one another. "Good morning" said Srinjoy looking admiringly at his daughter. Sritoma took her eyes away. "You aren't going to school today, are you?" ;"No";"Which class are you in now?" ;"12th" "Oh, big times ahead, haan?" Sritoma nodded tentatively.
The rest of breakfast was quiet, except a couple of short enquiries and even shorter responses. Srinjoy was trying to be coy, feeling for the place that he had so carelessly let slip all these years. Anuradha was being polite, and contained, not willing to step into the unknown she had so long ago shunned from her life in search of solid ground. Sritoma could feel the cloud intensifying inside her, sometimes jumping up to her throat and threatening to spill out.
She never quite understood what had happened eight years ago. She was still a child then. She loved her parents, yes, she loved her father, and she felt he loved him too!! But then, one day her father went away—she didn't know why, and somehow didn't want to either. All she knew was that it made her mother cry, it made her cry too. But slowly, she felt the picture of her father, his eyes, his smiling face, reassuring touch—melting away into oblivion. As if the colors of the canvas had been slowly washed away with rain, or teardrops—whatever you prefer to call it. It was a place she could never go to now, even if she wanted to, not even touch or feel, however desperately she craved for it—it had become a dark deep cloud floating above the earth and below the sky, hidden in between the lines of her reality.
It was dadu's ill-health that had brought them together today. Apparently, her grandfather was very fond of his son-in-law—Sritoma remembered vaguely how the two of them used to spend long hours playing chess when they'd come to visit dadu from Barasat. Anuradha had recounted sometimes, how they shared a common passion for gardening.
The day before, dadu had wanted to see Srinjoy—"ekbar", he said, holding his daughter's hand in his. Anuradha strangely, remembered the phone number even after all these years, and when she rang up, she was half-relieved to be able to recognize the voice at the other end. That was yesterday morning. Srinjoy drove up all the way from Barasat braving the rain and the half-flooded city. After spending the evening at the nursing home, when they came out, it was raining. It had rained for most of the day, and in the present condition, it made no sense to try and drive back all the way. "Stay back tonight at our place" offered Anuradha. "I wouldn't want to impose.."said Srinjoy "Wouldn't be a problem". Srinjoy said no more.
The rain had stopped quite a while now. There were even little drops of sunshine peeping through the clouds that still looked ominous. Sritoma walked lazily to her favorite spot in the house, the chair and table by the window of her room. She sat there dreamy-eyed looking out into a world that seemed so oblivious to her presence. Inadvertently, her hands picked up the bright red exercise book on the table, as she had so often done in her moments of deep sorrow, joy or realization. It was her little book of poems, one she treasured, loved and lived for. She was lost for a while as she painted with ink the pictures in her heart—
I was lost in sleep when I should have been awake/ Awake to the sounds of laughter and joy/ Awake to the sunshine that let the flowers bloom/ Yet I slept,/ In deep ignorance and deeper innocence/ Only to wake to the thunder, storm and rain/ To an emptiness deeper than pain…
"Toma, what are you doing dear?" Sritoma quickly replaced the book hearing her mother's voice. "Nothing maa, just sitting around; you need anything?" Anuradha cast a cursory glance on the exercise book. The significance wasn't lost on Sritoma. She never could understand her mother's aversion to her passion for poetry. Knowing her mother, who was a very understanding and liberal parent, it didn't quite make sense. It was a newly acquired passion for Sritoma, one that she had discovered a few months ago—the urge to express her feelings in a deeper way than she could confess to any person she knew—and it was kind of addictive! But she also loved her mother more than anybody in the world, and tried her best not to hurt her in any way. "Your father is leaving…he wants to talk to you.." Anuradha broke her chain of thought. Sritoma looked into her mother's eyes for a moment. She suddenly sunk her head into Anuradha's arms and wrapped her own around her. For a few seconds they didn't talk. Anuradha caressed her daughter's hair, "Don't worry, everything's going to be fine…".
Sritoma stood at the doorway long after Srinjoy had driven away, disappearing like the invisible whirl of smoke from the exhaust pipe. There weren't any life changing words said between them, no apologies or complains or anger or joy, but there was something else. A sense of harmony. Sritoma looked up at the sky. Harmony. Between the sun and the rain—two sides of the same coin.
Anuradha was lying on her bed, book in hand. Sritoma knew she was only pretending to read. She always did that when she was upset. Pretending to read, and thinking of something else. But she knew better than to intrude upon her now. Back to her room, by her favorite table, she found the note left to her by Srinjoy. It was a small piece of poetry, handwritten, the words were clear and the effect disarming—
" Rain Dance
The words that formed, but never came out/ The dreams I dreamt but never woke up from/ The pictures I drew but never painted/ The songs I made but never played out/ The clouds that formed but never rained/ The place I took but never made my own/ Today they all came pouring in/ In hundreds and thousands, like each little raindrop/ They drenched my soul/ They took me out, to the place I belong/ And danced the eternal dance of rain."
Sritoma stood there motionless—holding the note in her trembling hands, and just as the rain engulfed the world outside again, she felt the dark cloud burst inside her and tears began to flow…

There are so many incredible mods made for GTA V, but the ones that focus on upgrading the graphics are always some of the most amazing. Now there is a new one which uses 4K graphics, and the screenshots are stunningly hyper-real.
The mod on LSPDFR is called "Make Visuals Great Again." Its designer, DoctorGTA, managed to greatly improve lighting balance without causing issues with framerate.
Apparently it took around 6 weeks to record the footage needed and another week to edit it in order to create this mod.
Being as 4K visuals are the big upcoming thing in gaming, this seems to be a great preview of what we might be able to look forward to with the next Grand Theft Auto game.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Groups Press for Religious Freedom Envoy
- Signs of Witness Intimidation Mount in Orissa
- Tiller's Killer Sentenced to Life in Prison
Groups Press for Religious Freedom Envoy
Religion News Service reports that 29 human rights groups and faith leaders again urged President Obama to appoint an ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. Leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, and Mormon groups signed the open letter, which was sent on March 30. "The absence of senior level leadership in your administration on this critical issue is of grave and urgent concern," they wrote. The letter was signed by the former director of the State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom, and a former ambassador for international religious freedom. A White House spokesman said the president "remains committed to filling this position with the most qualified candidate."
Signs of Witness Intimidation Mount in Orissa, India
Compass Direct News reports that a judge this week granted a change of venue for the trial of men accused of gang-raping a nun in Orissa in 2008. The nun, Meena Lilita Barwa, had argued that witnesses would be intimidated into refraining from testifying if the trial were held in Kandhamal district. After a series of trials in which murder suspects in the 2008 violence have gone free as Hindu extremist threats have kept witnesses from testifying, a 6-year-old girl has identified a local politician as the man who killed her father. "There has been no conviction in any case of murder," said Dr. John Dayal, a member of the National Integration Council. "More than 70 people were killed, and trial is being held only for 38 or so of those deaths. Eleven murder cases have been tried with no one being indicted or sentenced for murder so far - because of terrible investigation by the police, a poor show by the prosecuting lawyers and shoddy judicial process."
Tiller's Killer Sentenced to Life in Prison
Religion News Service reports that the man who murdered an abortion doctor in the foyer of his Lutheran church in Kansas has been sentenced to life in prison. The sentence for Scott Roeder, 52, carries no possibility of parole for 50 years, the longest sentence possible under state law. Scott Roeder, 52, said at his sentencing hearing on April 1 that he killed George Tiller "so he could not dismember another baby." Roeder also said that he was following "God's law" to prevent abortions, according to media reports. Tiller, a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and an usher at Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, was one of the few doctors in the U.S. who performed late-term abortions.

HANZHONG, China - A man charged into a kindergarten in Northwestern China with a cleaver Wednesday and hacked to death seven children and two adults - the fifth such rampage in less than two months. The attacker then went home and killed himself.
The assault, which left 11 other children hospitalized, occurred despite heightened security countrywide, with gates and cameras installed at some schools and additional police and guards posted at entrances.
Sociologists say the recent attacks that have left 17 dead and scores wounded reflect the tragic consequences of ignoring mental illness and rising stress resulting from huge social inequalities in China's fast-changing society.

History has been kinder to the American generals of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—than to the generals of the wars that followed. Is this merely nostalgia? Here, Thomas E. Ricks answers the question definitively: No, it is not, in no small part because of a widening gulf between performance and accountability.
During World War II, scores of American generals were relieved of command simply for not being good enough.
In The Generals we meet great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and those who failed themselves and their soldiers. Marshall and Eisenhower cast long shadows over this story, but no single figure is more inspiring than Marine General O. P. Smith, whose fighting retreat from the Chinese onslaught into Korea in 1950 snatched a kind of victory from the jaws of annihilation. But Smith's courage and genius in the face of one of the grimmest scenarios the marines have ever faced only cast the shortcomings of the people who put him there in sharper relief.
If Korea showed the first signs of a culture that neither punished mediocrity nor particularly rewarded daring, the Vietnam War saw American military leadership bottom out. In the wake of Vietnam, a battle for the soul of the US Army was waged with impressive success. It became a transformed institution, reinvigorated from the bottom up. But if the body was highly toned, its head still suffered from familiar problems, resulting in tactically savvy but strategically obtuse leadership that would win battles but end wars badly.
Ricks has made a close study of America's military leaders for three decades, and in his hands this story resounds with larger meaning: the transmission of values, strategic thinking, the difference between an organization that learns and one that fails. Military history of the highest quality, The Generals is also essential reading for anyone with an interest in the difference between good leaders and bad ones.
©2012 Thomas E. Ricks (P)2012 Blackstone Audio, Inc
"[A] savvy study of leadership in the US Army…Ricks presents an incisive, hard-hitting corrective to unthinking veneration of American military prowess." (Publishers Weekly)
"Thomas E. Ricks has written a definitive and comprehensive story of American generalship from the battlefields of World War II to the recent war in Iraq. The Generals candidly reveals their triumphs and failures, and offers a prognosis of what can be done to ensure success by our future leaders in the volatile world of the twenty-first century." (Carlo D'Este, author of Patton: A Genius for War)
"This is a brilliant book—deeply researched, very well-written, and outspoken. Ricks pulls no punches in naming names as he cites serious failures of leadership, even as we were winning World War II, and failures that led to serious problems in later wars. And he calls for rethinking the concept of generalship in the Army of the future." (William J. Perry, 19th US Secretary of Defense)
"Great Book on Leadership "
This is a great book on leadership that I never tried of reading, this will be my 6th time. It's worthwhile!
"Must read"
This book is a no holds barred on the US Army officer corps and especially the generals. This book also parallels the American society degradation from accountability for your actions. This is a must read for anyone who wants to be in a managerial, leadership, or military role.
"Reasonably good"
This was a good, but not expert analysis. As a spectator to some of the events, I would have liked to hear about the transition in the relationship between GEN Petraeus and GEN Odierno. Missed completely. Not much balance in the critique of civil versus military leadership. While I expect many excuses from the author, the bottom line is that this is an amateurish work.
"military reading list"
this is a book that should be on the officers reading list. finished it in a few days
"Holding the leadership accountable"
Thomas Ricks in this book is making the case that after WWII the army stopped relieving generals from command positions which made them less accountable. He is attributing all the failures in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq to this issue.
The book starts with the assertion that General George Marshal in WWII created a template for winning generals and that he relieved generals that didn't live to that expectation.The book moves to show that this stopped after WWII and caused a lot of the setbacks the army faced in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. The book concludes by urging army leaders to return back to that policy.
I agree with some of the points the book made especially that generals should be held accountable and relieved from command when they fail to achieve the objectives. The problem I think is that the presidents failed to make a clear case and determine the objective for each of the Korea, Vietnam and Iraq wars. The book mentions some of that when it covers the political games Johnson did to get around the chiefs of staff.
Another issue with the book is that the author is making the case for a successful general template developed by Marshal but in reality there were a number of successful WWII generals who didn't fit that template such as Patton and Terry Allen and there were generals who fit it but were proved not to be stellar leaders such as Omar Bradley and Maxwell Taylor.
The author also attacked General MacArthur mainly because he had political ambitions not because of military issues during WWII. He then used MacArthur's failure to predict the Chinese intervention in Korea to further attack him although he mentioned that the CIA didn't believe the Chinese were going to intervene either.
I think that the book provides a good history but I think that there were much deeper problems that caused the struggle in the mentioned 3 wars than just the failure of generals.
"Excellent case study for management and leadership"
This is a phenomenal case study for high level executives and leaders looking to build accountability into the framework of their organizations. be prepared for harsh criticisms army leadership throughout major American conflicts. however the lessons can be harsh, the author does not pull any punches when it comes to criticizing generals who have had a positive place in history which may have not been so justified.
"Thought provoking intro to military history"
This is the first military history book one ever read and has simultaneously deepened my understanding of the last 60 years of our nation's history while at the same time helping me to understand some of the 'whys' as well as the 'whats'.
Start from the premise that George Marshall and Eisenhower got it right in terms of how to build and run an army and then examine each major American conflict in terms of divergence from that gold standard. Well researched and heavily reliant on authoritative documentation, the book is a good mine.
Great job with the narration as well.
"Thought provoking but repetitive"
I found the premise of this book interesting, and the author pulls up a lot of evidence for his case but he does end up making his point rather repetitively.
"Engaging story. Great primer for a wide audience."
Great book. An interesting look at history, personnel management and the state of the modern military. Focused on the Army, this book has a slightly romanticized view of the WWII general staff and their imprint on history, but does a good job supporting the thesis. This author clearly has a command of the history and many of the under the radar movements that shaped military discourse. With luck a book that looks into the tradition of personnel management in the Navy will be written by this author.
The books flows well and is easy to understand. As it is an audiobook, names can be challenging to remember and place. The points and story vignettes are well written and stay very close to the written accounts and steer clear of hyperbole and revisionist history that is often found in books that examine impactful events like Korea and Vietnam. Deep historical knowledge or passion in this or adjacent subjects isn't necessary to enjoy the book; I suggest the book to any journeyman interested in history or business/management.
"Expertly written, powerful look at Generals"
An impressive analysis of WWII Generals as put in place under George Marshall and the failures of them & the system since then (as well as the occasional successes of the individual with slow systemic improvements).
The main thesis is accountability and the role of relieving Generals when they fail - which doesn't happen. But the author touches on more complex and useful aspects of leadership and organisational change.
The story of WWII Generals is well told but brief too much so in the case of Patton. Korea, Vietnam and Iraq are very insightful and shed excellent light on the political issues that Generals sought to avoid considering or the death of civilian / military discourse.
It's packed with nuggets of insight. Many bookmarks in this one.

I told a friend about this and he said that he's letting you know that he is always on the job, protecting you. What do you think? I know it made me smile because I had never witnessed this before. My seven year old son got a kick out of it too. Isn't life fun...So why was my 1-1/2' pal barking in his sleep?
the little darlinghe was probably dreaming about chasing a rabbit or car, or maybe saving his family from home invaders or something. do you have a picture of him? he sounds cute.
My Great Danes do stuff like this sometimes. They "run," growl, and whine in their sleep. I always wonder what the heck they're dreaming about.

The Scottish Conservatives are calling for activity programmes in nurseries to help cut health inequality across Scotland and save the NHS money.
Party leader Ruth Davidson and health spokesman Brian Whittle launched the new healthy lifestyle strategy on a visit to the Little Learners Nursery in Edinburgh.
Mr Whittle accused the Scottish Government of focusing on "cure rather than prevention" and said the new programme would help Scotland shake off its "sick man of Europe" image.
Loading article content
The recommendations in the report include training for nursery staff to deliver active play, online courses for primary teachers to continue pupils' sports development and the reintroduction of compulsory swimming lessons in primary schools.
Other recommendations involve introducing an independent inspectorate for hospital food standards, restricting the sale of unhealthy food in hospitals and providing more healthy options rather than universal school meals.
The party said the measures will tackle the health gap which leads to Scots dying two years earlier on average than people living in England and a 12-year gap in life expectancy between those living in the richest and poorest parts of Scotland.
Ms Davidson said: "The health gap that we have in Scotland is far too wide and we need to do more to improve the wellbeing of Scots.
"That is why we have developed this strategy - to provide practical solutions that can get to the heart of the health issues we face.
"A big step towards achieving this is encouraging more physical activity from a young age and that's why we're calling for it to become an integral part of children's lives.
"There's a huge body of evidence which proves that an active lifestyle can make an enormous difference to a person's physical health, mental health and ability to learn.
"We hope that this and the other recommendations made in this report can kick-start the debate on health and wellbeing in Scotland, and spur the Scottish Government into taking meaningful action."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "The Scottish Government recognises that physical activity from an early age is important. That is why we are committed to encouraging all early learning and childcare providers to give children two hours of age-appropriate physical activity, including one hour a week outside.
"It is also why our ambition for Scotland is to become the first 'Daily Mile' nation with roll-out to nurseries - and schools, colleges, universities and workplaces - across the country.
"Play, including physical activity, is fundamental to children's learning and we have already invested in delivery of our play strategy and we will be publishing nursery design good practice in 2017 that will facilitate more outdoor learning. In addition, Minister for Childcare and Early Years Mark McDonald recently launched trials to include a focus on more outdoor learning.
"We will study further proposals contained in this lifestyle strategy, but note that there is no indication of how they will be paid for."

Anglo-Saxon culture. The name comes from when they lived in Colton. There are places named Colton in Staffordshire, Norfolk and North Yokshire. Although the Staffordshire origin is more common some families' names are derived from the Norfolk location.
Coldon Early Origins
Staffordshire, North Yorkshire, Norfolk and Cumbria. The places had a variety of listings in the Domesday Book including Coletuna (Norfolk), Coletune (North Yorkshire) and Coltone (Staffordshire.) However, the meaning of the place names were essentially the same: "farmstead of a man called Cola or Koli" having derived from the Old English or Old Scandinavian personal name + tun. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) The Cumbria placename was originally listed as Coleton in 1202, but its origins may have been much earlier.
Coldon Spelling Variations
Coldon Spelling Variations
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Coldon include Colton, Coulton and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:

My boyfriend, who will henceforth be known as The Buddha for reasons you are about to see, called me last night. His parents just returned yesterday from a ten-day trip to Italy. They do this every year and that country is, by far, their favorite place on the planet. The Buddha, a.k.a Dennis, lent his beautiful digital camera and three beautiful lenses to his parents so they could take beautiful photos of their favorite place on the planet. He packed it all up nicely in his brand new camera backpack and sent them on their way to pasta paradise.
On arrival, someone stole the backpack. Gone forever is Dennis' camera, the three lenses, and the backpack. It left his parents crushed and empty-handed, unable to take photos during their vacation, and required them to purchase a brand new camera in Italy to add unnecessarily to their collection of cameras at home in Connecticut. Yesterday, when Dennis came home from work, they told him the news. And when he shared the news with me, our conversation went like this:
(For the record, my nickname from him and everyone else is "Bean" because it's been that way since I was born and there's no escaping nicknames.)
Bean: blah, blah, blah, blah, something about food, blah, I'm tired, blah, blah, guess what I read today, blah, blah, music, something about work, blah.
Dennis: Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you.
Bean: What?
Dennis: I lent my camera to my parents and it got stolen.
Bean: WHAT? OH NO! TELL ME ALL THE DETAILS! OH DENNIS THAT'S SO SAD!
Dennis: Yeah, that sucks.
Bean: BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR LENSES?
Dennis: Yeah, those too.
Bean: BUT EVEN THE WIDE ANGLE LENS? EVEN THE OTHERS THAT YOU SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON?
Dennis: Yep.
Bean: DID YOU HAVE THEM INSURED? [aside] Like I told you to do months ago?
Dennis: Nope.
Bean: NO!! OH MY GOD HOW TERRIBLE! HOW SAD! OH THAT'S THE MOST AWFUL NEWS I'VE HEARD IN FOREVER! IT'S YOUR CAMERA! OH, WOE IS ME AND WOE IS THE WORLD FULL OF TERRIBLE, EVIL ASSHOLES WHO DO SELFISH, AWFUL, TERRIBLE, MEAN THINGS TO PEOPLE! MAY THEY ROAST IN HELL AND MAY THE FLESH BE BURNED TO A CRISP AND OFFERED UP ON PLATES TO THEIR OWN CHILDREN! DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM!
Dennis: Eh, whatever. It was just stuff.
Dennis: Bean? Are you there?
Bean: UH, YOUR SHIT JUST GOT STOLEN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, DENNIS. YOU ARE NEVER GETTING IT BACK EVER AGAIN.
Dennis: Yeah? So what?
Bean: [panic beginning to leave voice] AND ALL THAT MONEY YOU SPENT!…..GONE!
Dennis: It's just stuff, Bean.
Bean: [drained now of frustration] I know but–
Dennis: Listen. I lost a camera, not a Bean. That would be waaaay worse.
And that is the story of why my boyfriend is The Buddha and why we (as in "I") love him. We are, as you can clearly see, almost complete opposites–the yin and the yang, the Taurus and the Aquarius. The opposing natural elements. The Buddha is the air, and I am the rock. The Buddha is the water and I am the hyperventilating ball of fire and fury that the water is able to shut up with just a few words. The Buddha has no care for earthly possessions (even though he has a whole lot of them) and I am dreaming of when I can have enough money to fill my closet with things like this, this, and this. And this. And basically all of these.
So what's the lesson in all of this? Essentially, it's this: I have the best boyfriend on the whole planet and if anyone doubts that, I'll fight you. Because even though The Buddha is a non-violent higher being, the earthly Bean has got a mean right hook. And you do not want to get on her bad side.

In North American First Nations mythology, the Haida tribe credit the raven with bringing light to the world.
roc a glaswellt rock and grass
Named after Robert Morris Griffith of Bangor, the owner of the land, Treforys ('Morris's town') was a development of thirty-six crog-lofftydd cottages, each with a nominal quarter-acre, erected in 1857 along three parallel roadways on the hillside for quarrymen at Gorseddau, Cwmystradllyn. The 1861 census lists only nine dwellings as being inhabited, and all had been abandoned by 1871.
A poignant site, it contrasts sharply with the inhospitable terrain of the rest of the landscape- and it is still a fair hike to get to work!

Video Evidence: Chan Siu-ki (Tottenham)
In the wake of Tottenham's newly formed business alliance with Hong Kong's most successful club side, South China, the north Londoners have agreed to host their partner's star striker Chan Siu-ki for a 10-day trial before the end of the year.
Without question, the basis of Spurs' new deal with South China is purely commercial. Already having partnerships with South African league champions SuperSport United, MLS outfit San Jose Earthquakes and Sport Club Internacional of Brazil, the deal with the Asian outfit is Tottenham's first in the region as the Lilywhites attempt to break into a lucrative new market.
Unashamedly, Spurs have been frank and honest about the nature of their new commercial partnership, with the official Tottenham website announcing "the relationship with the Hong Kong-based football club will look to focus on football and commercial development. This will include a best practice exchange programme, a shared knowledge of coaching methods and techniques as well as coach visits. Along with football-based objectives there will also be an agreement to explore further commercial opportunities."
The lucky benficiary of the new deal though is South China forward Chan Siu-ki, who Tottenham fans may remember scoring a wonder-strike against the Lilywhites in a pre-season friendly back in the summer.
Prolific in Hong Kong, 24-year-old Chan Siu-ki has an incredible international record of 26 goals in 32 games for Hong Kong, as well as scoring 22 goals in 28 games for his club side since joining in 2008. Prior to that the forward had plied his trade for Kitchee Sports Club where he netted an equally impressive 27 goals in 40 appearances.
With Tottenham already having their fill of strikers with Defoe, Keane and Pavlyuchenko on their books, it seems highly unlikely that this deal is anything more than a goodwill gesture supporting the more prominent commercial objectives.
A brief report into Chan Siu-ki's trail at Spurs, including footage of the forward's wonder-strike against Tottenham from last summer, can be seen here.
More video evidence of Chan Siu-ki playing in the Hong Kong league can be seen here.

Five new images have been added to my Agrilinae gallery based on specimens that I have collected a few years ago but haven't photographed until last month. The first two were collected in Mindanao while the remaining three from Luzon.
Unlike with Cerambycidae where I generally have references and the contacts that help me in the identification, I'm quite in a bind when it comes to the Buprestidae, much more with the Agrilinae.
I'm not really sure as to the identification down to species level of these five specimens but I think that one to three (top and left, second row) might be Agrilus, a rather common genus that is well represented in different islands in the country. I'm not sure about the fourth (right, second row). The fifth might be under genus Trachys Endelus. It is the first time I have seen and collected this one and really, upon close inspection, its form is quite unique.
So far, I have collected all these from two major islands only.

Why Are Prescription Drugs Cheaper in Canada?
September 19, 2002
Differences in prices for prescription drugs between the U.S. and Canada are growing, but not for the reasons most people suppose, according to John R. Graham of the Fraser Institute.
Price controls imposed by Canada's Patented Medicine Prices Review Board are "not a significant cause of the 'cheapness' of Canadian patented drugs," says Graham.
- Although there are no price controls on Canadian health-related goods and services in general, they are "almost as cheap relative to those in the United States as patented drugs are...."
- A major cause of the growing gap in drug prices is that Canadians are getting poorer compared to Americans, says Graham: in 1997 the U.S. per capita Gross Domestic Product was 46 percent greater than Canada's, but grew to 55 percent greater in 2001.
- Prices of many goods tend to be cheaper in Canada; for example, automobile prices were 16 percent lower in Canada in 1999.
Drugs sold in Canada, like cars sold in Canada, are cheaper because Canadians can't afford to pay more for them.
Furthermore, if U.S. lawmakers required drug makers to sell pharmaceutical drugs in America at Canadian or international prices, the likelihood is that prices would rise worldwide toward the U.S. level, since the United States is about half the world market for prescription drugs.

I love candles so much. I'm not sure why– I suppose nothing quite compares to the soft, cozy glow and lovely ambiance of candlelight. However, having a house full of playful, curious kids and pets has made safety a serious concern. I can only use real candles on the lofty reaches of the fireplace mantel or safely tucked away around my own bubble baths.
With these LED Ivory Pillar Candles, I'm excited that I can still achieve the same pretty glow while not having to worry about fire hazards. They are actually made of real wax, which gives them an authentic feel.
The set includes four 2-inch diameter candles, one each at 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch and 6-inch. The staggered height makes them perfect to group together for a sophisticated display.
Now, I've tried flameless candles in the past and I have to say usually they end up relegated to a draw somewhere after the first few uses, written off as just not worth messing with. I think what sets this set apart is the quality and attention to design. One of my favorite features is the remote control. This is so much nicer than fiddling with each candle, moving around whatever display you have them in to find the switches, and remembering to turn each one off. This way, with one click, you're done. It's also a great battery-saving feature, since you're more likely to actually turn them off.
Overall, I adore this set and can't wait to show it off at my next party!

Don't ask me why, but a mother-daughter surfing lesson sounded like a good idea at the time.
I could see myself gracefully riding the warm Hawaiian waves. Bonding with my pre-teen daughter. Discovering, in my middle age, a new sport.
After all, in the past few years there's been a boom in female surfers in Hawaii, California and beyond. "Grand Masters" the over-45 surfers have their own competitive events. And there was lots of hype about the recent Hawaii surfer-girl film, "Blue Crush."

So, I reasoned on a winter visit to the Hawaiian island of Kauai, why shouldn't I join the crowd?
I did, and had to face reality.
Surfing with a pro
It was my first morning in Hawaii, and it was an unexpectedly chilly, overcast day. That's why there was no one else in the water except my blond hunk of a surfing instructor.
He was prepared … he was wearing a wetsuit. It fit like a second skin over his very buff first skin.
My daughter was wearing a heavy nylon surfing top over her bathing suit and looked great, as any athletic 12-year-old does.
Me? I wore shorts over my bathing suit to conceal the misfortunes of middle age.
Bad wardrobe choice. In a particularly embarrassing moment, as I struggled to stand on my surfboard, my waterlogged shorts sagged to my feet. Bound at the ankles, I tumbled headfirst into a wave.
That was only one of the embarrassing moments in my 1½ -hour surfing-lesson saga.
By veteran surfers' standards, we were in puny waves at a beach in the Poipu resort area. For me, they were plenty big.
And I proved to be particularly skilled at taking the waves at the wrong angle as I paddled out from shore, lying on my long foam board. I was flipped with daunting regularity, managing to surface once underneath my board and bashing my head.
Meanwhile, our instructor, who possessed sinewy arms that a thousand aerobics classes would never give me, would paddle effortlessly past, kneeling on his board. My daughter kept right up with him. Panting, arms aching, I'd struggle to catch up.
About 50 yards offshore, he'd take turns holding our boards steady, watch for the right wave, then push one of us off, chanting "paddle, paddle, go, go."
I was usually too slow to catch the wave. If I did, I'd fall down as soon as I tried to stand up on my board. "Your feet are still too far back," he'd shout, just before I'd tumble off the board again.
A mouthful of saltwater
As I surfaced sputtering after yet another mishap, he asked, "Um, just curious, have you been in the ocean before?"
Well, yes, lots, I wanted to holler, and probably in a lot more oceans than you have. And, I wanted to screech, obviously I'm incompetent at surfing, but that's why I'm taking a lesson.
I didn't say anything. My mouth was too full of saltwater as another wave slapped me in the face. Besides, he was doing a great job teaching my daughter, who was standing on her board and riding the waves gracefully and happily. I just had to face it: I was not surfer material. I gave up trying to stand on my board and just lay on my stomach to ride into shore. Now that was fun.
Our instructor, meanwhile, caught a particularly enticing wave and did a perfect headstand on his board as he surfed into shore.
Macho grandstanding? Yes. But it was impressive.
I hauled my sodden self onto the beach and, shivering and watching proudly, let my daughter take the rest of the lesson.
Maybe, some warmer day, I'll try surfing again. But I'll set my daughter loose and find some other slow learners, who have waves dancing in their heads but need more time to stand on their own two feet.

The National Urban League's "State of Black America" report for 2005 ignores every essential reform that would empower blacks, says Star Parker, president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education.
The report lists 10 prescriptions for change, eight of which are government programs. Of the other two, one suggests blacks tithe and volunteer more and the other admonishes blacks to focus on savings, investing and estate planning.
There is barely a hint in the league report that black problems might have anything to do with things other than politics, Parker says. The crisis in the black community today is a crisis of values, not a crisis of politics, as the league would have us believe.
- Some 48 percent of black families vs. 82 percent of white families are headed by married couples and 43 percent of black families vs. 13 percent of white families are headed by a woman with no spouse.
- Black women are three times more likely than white women to have an abortion and 70 percent of black babies vs. 23 percent of white babies are born to unwed mothers.
- Blacks represent 13 percent of the U.S. population, but account for more than 50 percent of new AIDS cases.
Parker says it is not accidental how on the questions of government policy, the league ignores every essential reform that would empower blacks.
The real challenge, she says, is for today's blacks to regain control and take responsibility for their own lives; exactly the opposite message from the message of the National Urban League.

JOHANNESBURG — In his Olympic year, Oscar Pistorius steadily became an avid firearms collector, joining a gun-collecting club and purchasing a collection of firearms that included a .500 Magnum pistol dubbed by its manufacturer as "the most powerful production revolver in the world" and a civilian version of a military assault rifle.
At the end of 2012, in the first blush of his romance with Reeva Steenkamp, the model he later shot and killed, Pistorius got deeper into his hobby. It was known that Pistorius liked guns but only now, from Associated Press interviews with other collectors, is it becoming clear the extent to which he became a dedicated firearms aficionado in the 12 months before he shot Steenkamp.
The track star not only applied for licenses to own more guns, but actually bought them, too, according to John Beare, vice chairman of the Lowveld Firearm Collectors Association, which accepted Pistorius as a paid-up member last April. He and Pistorius were introduced at a Johannesburg hotel in January 2012, and it was there Beare first told the athlete and some of his friends how to become certified collectors.Comment on this story
Had he not become a collector, Pistorius would under South African law have been limited to a maximum of four firearms for self-defense, of which only two could have been handguns, according to Johannesburg attorney Martin Hood.
Carvel Webb, chairman of the National Arms and Ammunition Collectors Confederation of South Africa, an umbrella group for the country's 2,000 approved private collectors including Pistorius, said that in the wake of Steenkamp's killing his group will now verify that Pistorius fulfilled the necessary requirements to be accepted as a collector.
