ALMOST 800 years ago Dolbadarn Castle in Llanberis was built by Llywelyn Fawr to guard the nearby pass from invaders. It became a prison to Owain Gwynedd, a court to our last Prince, and the final home to his brother, Dafydd, before he was betrayed and executed.
Centuries after Edward the First's invasion and the subsequent years of decline, it returned to the spotlight over the weekend when another foreign hoard clambered up the hill to its doors and scaled its walls to stand triumphant on its ramparts.
But this army did not bring sword and flame. They bought cameras, monitors, tripods and a weapon that could stop any man at a hundred yards - a former Miss World.
These were not invaders, but guests from the film capital of the world, Bombay - or, as it's now known, Mumbai. The stars and the crew of 50 were at Dolbadarn Castle and the Snowdon Mountain Railway in Llanberis to shoot scenes for their new film Kyoni! Ho Gaya Na Pyar, Love Has Finally Happened.
Despite their huge fame in India, film stars Vivek Oberoi and model-turned-actress Aishwarya Rai drew few stares as they left their bus on the Nant Peris road and began ferrying cameras and cables up toward the castle. Their only audience was a handful of Australian tourists utterly confused by the bursts of Hindi song and dance in the shadows of Snowdon.
But there could be no doubting the star status of leading lady and man, Rai and Oberoi. Five hours later than expected, and an hour and a half after the rest of the crew, Oberoi appeared in a chauffeur-driven people carrier with blacked-out windows.
Wearing a black satin see-through top and a frown so aimed to display displeasure a four year old would have been impressed, he shouts at a bearded man in a turban leaning against a slate topped wall: "Half an hour you said, that was not half an hour!"
But as soon as a tape recorder appears before him the scowl disappears, although the furious march to set continues as he says: "Wales is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. This is the first time I've been to Wales. I've been to London a lot more often, but this is the first time I've been to Wales and it is absolutely gorgeous, breathtakingly beautiful."
Then he walks on, without looking back, through a nest of vans that seems to have hatched a clutch of porters.
Once he has thundered his way through the small wood, forcing men with heavy equipment on their shoulders like worker ants to shuffle to the side, he makes his way to the set, where he immediately makes his presence felt.
Even the sunbathing tourist who scaled the hill in search of a little peace is aware that Oberoi is the star as he props himself on his elbow to watch him direct the director.
The sunbather is bare chested against the sun but Vivek is given a cheap looking anorak to shield himself against the faint breeze from Llyn Padarn, as he goes about disagreeing with everyone and starting the business of running the show.
There are no stuntmen or safety advisors in sight as Oberoi proves Bollywood's stars are either braver or more expendable than their Hollywood counterparts when he runs down the ancient wall that snakes up the castle some 15 feet off the ground, then leaps off and over an imaginary camera.
Rehearsals begin to stall and little seems to be going on over the insistent chatter that to an ignorant ear resembles argument, until the visiting cameras turn to the woods below and a hush falls over the watching media.
When, after being announced for the sixth or seventh time, Rai finally arrives in Llanberis in another blacked out people carrier followed by a silver Mercedes, the waiting journalists are ushered away in case an unflattering picture is taken.
She scurries into the waiting crew bus to change and have her make-up done to become the woman who wowed a worldwide audience nine years earlier.
Half an hour passes and there is an excited expectancy as a flash of red is spotted in the trees and suddenly there she is, serenely floating through the ferns. A small man holds her hand high and leads her along the path as a woman stoops to hold the train of her dress and another hurries behind with bags and a mirror.
She is led through the inelegant kiss gate and up a steep slope, gliding calmly upwards with a six-foot, 20-stone Indian man walking ahead. Her chaperone wears a small sculpted beard, shaven head, heavy gold earrings and an enormous gold chain that Mr T would have been jealous of, and seems to be the living embodiment of a cartoon Ali Baba.
As soon as Rai's smooth flight to the castle's plateau comes to an end, she stands stock still, the breeze stroking her long hair, totally undeterred by the cameras clicking and flashing around her.
She stays unmoving and unruffled for another 10 minutes while lackeys rush about offering mirrors, make up, chairs and any number of things, but she does not bat either of her heavily made up eye lashes.
Finally, a broadcaster breaks the stunned silence her regal aura has created and asks for an interview, only to be told with a smile that once earned her the title of Miss Photogenic: "I'm working now" - although it is difficult to see exactly what it is she is doing.
When she looks up at the castle and Oberoi, her eyes glow green, in a way they didn't in the many websites dedicated to her, sparking a cruel rumour that the colour comes from tinted contact lenses.
But as the loud Hindi music blares out over the hill, she and Vivek disappear into the castle behind white screens to play out the scene.
Producer Rajat Rawail explains in a heavy accent what part Snowdonia will play in Rai and Oberoi's film. "Llanberis will be in the film as Llanberis. The film is a romantic love story and the scene here is a flash forward, like a dream sequence with a romantic song, then it is back to reality and India.
"We are going to have a song number like a music video between the leading lady and leading man. They are going to be singing a song that they love each other and are in a happy mood and finally love is happening."
At that point a head pops out of the castle's windows, where the last of Welsh royalty had lived, and yells down to a cameraman below something in a language alien to the mountains followed by "positions". Then these medieval stones and older mountains begin their foray into romance and Bollywood.

The Stewarts descend from the Norman seneschals of Dol in Brittany. They came to England with William the Conquerer and Walter the Steward came to Scotland with King David I. Walter was created Steward of Scotland and given estates in Renfrewshire and East Lothian. Walter also was one of the commanders who defeated Somerled of the Isles in 1164.
James, 5th High Steward, swore fealty to Edward I of England but later joined William Wallace in his quest for Scottish independence. On Wallace's death, he joined the cause of the Bruce. Walter married the Bruce's daughter Marjorie thus securing the Kingship for his son on the death of Bruce's only son David II. Sir Walter's son and Bruce's grandson, Robert Stewart became Robert II.
Robert II's son John succeeded his father as Robert III, taking the name Robert because John was the name of an English King and of a Scottish claimant to the throne. His son, Robert, Duke of Albany, served as regent during the reigns of his father, brother and nephew. When James I came to the throne he curbed the power of his cousins of Albany by beheading Robert's son, and grandsons. The Royal line continued with male heirs until Mary, Queen of Scots. The Stewarts held the Scottish (and later the English) throne from Robert II until 1714.
There were other branches of the family beside the Royal one. Three branches settled in the Highlands during the 14th and 15th centuries: Appin, Atholl, and Balquhidder. The Appin Stuarts descend from Sir John Stewart, son of Alexander, 4th High Steward.
The Atholl branch descend from Alexander Earl of Buchan, and 4th son of Robert II. Alexander was known as the Wolf of Badenoch.
The Stewarts of Balquhidder descend from a grandson of the Duke of Alnabny who escaped the persecution of James I. He was appointed baillie of the crown lands in Balquhidder in 1490.
It is generally accepted that the Earls of Galloway now head the principal house of Stewart.

Checking the hard drive of my computer to see what posts I've been working on, and to complete some of them for future publishing, I've come to realize there are so many waiting to see the daylight. After a quick count, I noticed there are more than one hundred!
There are six folders: Entertainment (2); Fiction (29); Memories (0); Projections (1); Thoughts (62); and Uncategorized (8). -The six categories I have in this blog. The biggest numbers are in Fiction and Thoughts, while the smallest (0) is in the Memories folder, which is of no surprise, considering my terrible memory
Every time an idea comes to mind I write whatever comes out and place the "project" in the appropriate folder, ready to be completed when there's more time available. Unfortunately, the original idea seems to vanish completely when I try to retake the post to complete it.
Perhaps the worst part is that ideas come to mind in the most "inappropriate" circumstances, like when driving in my delivery shift, when in the shower, etc. In some instances it is of no problem to just grab a piece of paper and write down the name of the post, the general idea, and some quick notes to help the future writing. But when the time comes to actually take the task of completing the posts (a couple of days later), my mind either becomes blank, or I can't see the reason or logic of the original idea, making worthless the whole point.
I've tried (when possible) not to stop writing when the idea comes around, and simply postpone whatever I was doing at the time, but usually there'll be some research involved, and the time required to complete the whole process force me to still leave the post for future complexion.
The result is more than one hundred posts waiting and nothing ready to publish.
-Does it happen to you?
-What procedure do you use to write those ideas that cannot be completed at once?
-How do you organize your writings in your computer?
Let me know in the comment section.

Media Watch
Guardiola hails 'special Sergio'
HANDS UP: Aguero wheels away in delight
Plenty of praise being heaped on the shoulders of Sergio Aguero and Pep Guardiola this morning.
City's superb start to the season has seen the Blues' boss deservedly lauded by the media. While Aguero's form has been ridiculously good.
So let's begin our sweep of this morning's press coverage.
We'll kick off with the Daily Mail who write: "Aguero hit another hat-trick as Guardiola's superb start at Manchester City continued with an emphatic victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in their Champions League Group C opener.
"Aguero followed up his treble against Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round with three more goals as City swept aside the Germans 4-0 in their delayed clash at the Etihad Stadium.
"City have now won seven in succession since Guardiola took charge in the summer while Aguero - who will miss the next two matches as he completes a domestic suspension - has scored nine in just five appearances.
"Guardiola said: 'Sergio is one of the best, no doubts about that. He has a special quality in the box. He's a special player."
Meanwhile former United favourite Roy Keane, now a pundit for ITV, has been widely quoted this morning following his comments during last night's highlights show.
Never one to mince his words, Keane said he feels Guardiola should have the nickname currently associated with Reds' boss Jose Mourinho.
The Express report: "Keane has put the boot into new Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho - claiming Pep Guardiola is the real 'special one'.
"Manchester City's manager has settled quickly at the Etihad.
"The Spaniard's adapted to his new surroundings and taken City to the top of the Premier League table in style.
"Guardiola's side have won all seven of their opening competitive matches this season, while Keane's former side suffered against City at the weekend.
In the battle of the bosses, Guardiola came out on top in a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford, and United legend Keane has indicated City's chief is not someone he would contest with.
"Mourinho reckons he's the special one, to me this guy (Guardiola) is," Keane said.
"I think what was important when he first went in there, the decision to get rid of two or three really important characters from Man City - he made the decision, 'you're not for me'.
"He says he's a challenging coach and he doesn't look like he's messing about.
"They're playing with a lot of confidence, he's rotating the squad and the players are playing with a lot of confidence after a decent start. I wouldn't like to mess with him."
And there's not many people Keane would say that about!
The Blues' boss is also widely quoted this morning for challenging City fans to love the Champions League more.
City reached the semi-final of the competition last season and Pep wants more passion on European nights, though the circumstances of last night's hastily rearranged game certainly played a part.
Outside 90 quote Pep saying: 'Our fans have to know we need them in the Champions League. In the Premier League, everyone comes here but in the Champions League, they don't.'
They continue: "The feud between City fans and UEFA stems from a number of penalties being imposed by Europe's governing football body between 2012 and 2015 after the Sky Blues were found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
"Groups of City fans have been known to boycott Champions League games at the Etihad Stadium and as was the case on Wednesday, the Champions League anthem has often been met with jeers and whistles, which Guardiola believes needs to stop.
'We need them to compete against the best teams in the world,' he said.
'With our supporters and their songs, we are stronger.'
Finally, City fans wondering why Kelechi Iheanacho doesn't receive the same headlines as United's Marcus Rashford should read the EPL Index feature on both players.
Both teenagers have burst on to the scene in the past 12 months and EPL Index have an interesting stats-based look at the city rivalry of each striker.
They write: "Most Blues' fans can't understand why Iheanacho isn't getting the attention his Red counter-part is receiving but statistically, he's the deadliest out of the two academy graduates.
"Rashford's rise from his debut brace against Midtjylland to his England goal within three minutes of making his international bow has been nothing short of exquisite. The 18 year-old became the youngest Three Lions star to score on his debut and after netting a hat-trick against Norway U21's, he's now scored on every competitive debut he's made. That's some achievement and it's no wonder he's the one everyone's talking about but has Manchester City's 19 year-old star been overlooked?
"The Nigerian forward scored his third senior goal in five international appearances for Nigeria on the same evening as Rashford's U21 debut hat-trick and the Blues star got the nod ahead of new signing, Leroy Sane to start in the Manchester derby in place of Sergio Aguero who missed out due to suspension. However, instead of bursting onto the scene like Rashford, Iheanacho's rise has been slightly more progressive, though with deadlier effect."
That's all for today – keep checking in with City Now throughout the day for the latest breaking news on City…

Jury Selection Set in Sex-Abuse Trial
By Steve Lieberman (lohud.com)
June 4, 2012
Jury selection is to begin today in the trial of a Monsey man charged with sexually abusing two brothers under the age of 11.
Shmul Dym, 31, whose younger brother is a registered sex offender for abusing young boys, is accused of improperly touching the two young boys multiple times during at least one three-month period.
Ramapo police arrested Dym in August 2011 after detectives said they received a complaint about the two boys being abused a month earlier.
A Rockland County grand jury handed up indictment charging Dym with two counts of sexual conduct against a child, a felony, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
The felony sex charge carries a sentence of probation to seven years in state prison.
Aside from a potential prison sentence, Dym would be added to the state registry of sexual offenders if convicted.
Dym, his two lawyers and the prosecutor met Monday morning with state Supreme Court Justice William A. Kelly at the Rockland Courthouse in New City.
The lawyers and the judge discussed the ground rules for the trial and the prosecutor's plan to call on experts in child sexual abuse and in the cultural aspects of the Hasidic Jewish community.
The Hasidic Jewish culture has become an issue in sex-abuse cases across the region, specifically with some families feeling pressured not to report abuse and to talk only to their rabbinical leaders and not authorities.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes has spoken out against families being intimidated to not report sexual abuse.
Some hotlines run by ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups exist for families in New York City and the suburbs to report the abuse and inform the police and other authorities.
Starting today , Dym's lawyers, Kenneth Gribetz and Deborah Wolikow Loewenberg, will choose a 12-member jury with several alternates, along with prosecutor Patricia Gunning.
Attempts to reach a plea agreement on Monday failed.
The prosecution is insisting on a plea to the felony count, which means being added to the state sex registry.
"We're anxious to have our day in court," Gribetz said after meeting with the judge.
Gribetz said a jury would not hear about Betzalel Dym at trial.
"He has nothing to do with this case," Gribetz said.
"It would be highly prejudicial to our client to even consider that," he said.
Betzalel, Shmul Dym's younger brother, was convicted in August 2006 of first-degree sex abuse.
He was convicted of having sex with a then-10-year-old Monsey boy five times between January and May of 2006.
As a result of his conviction, Betzalel Dym is listed as a Level 2 sex offender on the New York State Registry, designating him a moderate risk of repeating his crime.
Betzalel Dym became involved in a lawsuit in which Kelly ruled unconstitutional a county law establishing where sex offenders can live and congregate.

Catching Up
It's hard to believe my last post was on Sept. 3. Time just goes by too fast. So, what have I been doing? Going to work, of course, as well as meetings and picking tomatoes, canning tomatoes, making tomato juice, canning tomato juice, and sewing blocks for Alycia's Big Blockbuster Block Drive for blocks for Quilts of Valor Quilts. I have ten or so to trim yet and think I'll put together a couple more for an even fifty.
I think I'll wait a little before sending them off, what with all the flooding in Colorado. Alycia said on her blog that there are a lot of roads and bridges washed out near them. That will have to affect mail delivery.
Quilted this lovely. Sorry to say it isn't mine, I love the colors.
I quilted it in the "Timeless Hearts" pattern. That's the one I've used on all the baby quilts I've quilted this year. It just seems to work so well.
Tuesday night our quilt group met and I was lucky enough to win the door prize.
Made by my friend Jane. I had just been thinking I needed to make one for my machine to protect it from dust. (
Dust in my house?!? Can't be!!
) Now I won't have to. There was also a cute notepad and a couple Fall dish towels in the bag. Thanks, Jane. The only catch is that I have to come up with a door prize for next month....that meeting is going to come all to fast.
Such a gloomy day today, the third one in a row. Weather like this just makes me want to go take a nap. Can't do that though. Tonight is our women's club meeting, it's supposed to be a picnic at a member's home, though I think it's going to be a bit chilly for that. I'm down for providing dessert so need to put a pie together. There's a container of sour cream in the fridge and frozen blueberries in the freezer so I'm making Sour Cream Blueberry Pie....one of my favorites. I'd make two and keep one for at home, but alas, only one container of sour cream in the fridge and I don't feel like going downtown for more.

Labor Day Project
We couldn't have had a more beautiful day yesterday for Labor Day. And where was I?? In my sewing room making R/W/B string blocks for the Big Block Blowout Drive for Quilts of Valor quilts at
Twenty-one done. Thought I was working on twenty, but miscounted. :)
My mess!!
I enjoyed my day of sewing. Hope everyone got to do something they enjoy this past weekend. Today I need to get a baby quilt loaded and quilted for a rapidly approaching deadline. Now though, I think I'll fix myself a BLT for lunch and make a pan of apple crisp.

What is the pragmatic maxim? Essay
What is the pragmatic maxim?
The term 'pragmatism' or the 'pragmatic maxim' was first employed by Charles Sanders Peirce as a method for clarifying the meaning of difficult ideas through the consideration of the practical consequences of which the concept portrays. It is thus a maxim of logic. William James however presented pragmatism as a means to reconcile scientific methods of inquiry and those of religious and moral philosophy. The pragmatic maxim is thus a rule or method to make certain and clear the contents of concepts and hypotheses. A hypothesis can be clarified or ascertained by its 'practical consequences'.
What James did not do was to explicate fully the concept of 'practical consequences' (Olin, 1992, p. 3) but to base it on 'effectiveness' where 'effective' is understood as that which has the most practical value and a value that is sensible to the desired outcomes of the hypothesis. The application of the pragmatic maxim is fairly straightforward. To avoid the metaphysical and ontological disputes of 'reality,' one can easily collapse the understanding of the terms 'mug' or 'cup' is the referent consequences are indistinguishable.
In other words, if the contexts of the consequent decision to call a 'mug' a 'cup' permit, then for all 'practical' purposes, that can be easily achieved. Such an understanding of the pragmatic maxim poses problems in real life applications for it collapses meaning and truth. Meaning claims can become reduced to truth claims. How does one distinguish 'murder' from 'self-defence' is it can be easily and 'pragmatically' be considered as the ending of one's life? In such an example, the meaning claims have become reduced to 'truth' claims. 2. How does James understand the word "true"?
To what kind of realities or human experiences does the word most properly apply? What kind of the 'theory of truth' is James promoting with his claims? (Cf. pages 338 ff. ) James believed that truth is that which works in the way of belief and true ideas can always lead one into useful and sensible application. This thus leads to consistency and stability in human interaction relations. However, all true processes, according to James, must be able to be verified empirically – by sensible experiences or knowledge attained through the senses.
Truth is thus then one aspect or 'species' of good and not a category distinct from it (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2006, para 34). As James himself notes truth is the name of whatever proves itself to be good in the way of belief, and good, too, for definite, assignable reasons. Truth is a quality, then, of whose own value is confirmed through application (and hence 'pragmatic'). Truth functions in many aspects of human reality and experience. For James, something is 'true' if it works for all of humanity (hence he claims his philosophy of pragmatism to be humanist).
Truths thus are guiding nodes within specific contexts and environments. The more something is true, the more it will stand the test of time and can be scientifically investigated. James applied the concept of 'truth' to religion via a pragmatism. In this case, truth was not regarded as ontological 'reality' but rather the 'cash value' or the returns of the belief in a specific context. As such, a hypothesis of God is sufficient truth if it is satisfactory to the empirical experience of many.
As such, James seemed to have held a pluralist view about truth and tried promoting an early notion of 'relativism' through such a pragmatic theory. He seemed to be gesturing to the face that truth is not absolute but relative and that there can be different kinds of truth framed within specific contexts and environments.

NSFW VIDEO: Now ANOTHER woman runs NAKED through Brazil streets
YET ANOTHER woman has been spotted running through the streets of Brazil completely naked.
The female jogger became the third woman to strip off in public in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre in just over a week by going for a naked midday run on Sunday.
The mystery runner pounded the streets wearing just trainers, a baseball cap and sunglasses.
And despite working up a sweat near the southern city's regional government parliament, she avoided arrest and detection.
Police received calls about her and sent out patrol cars to look for her – but she had gone by the time they reached the area where she had been spotted.
A local photographer took a snap of her showing off her tan lines as temperatures reached 30 degrees Celsius.
Last Thursday a brunette stripped off and walked along a main road in Porto Alegre starkers during a downpour.
Motorists tooted their horns and took pictures they posted on Twitter of the tattooed woman marching along the tarmac ignoring the fuss she was creating.
She was later identified as a mixed martial arts fighter called Betina Baino.
She told a TV reporter who quizzed her as she walked naked that she was protesting about her fall in living standards.
A week earlier a woman went run naked in a city centre park.
Police wrapped her up in sheeting before taking her away. She is now being cared for by doctors.
Carnival-time is normally the only time women shed their clothes in Brazil – and even then they normally use body paint to partially hide their private parts.
Although mini bikinis are a common sight on Brazilian beaches, topless sunbathing is forbidden and punishable by a jail sentence of up to a year or a fine under a 1940s law.
More than 2,000 women promised to take their tops off on Rio de Janeiro's famous Ipanema beach last December to call for the decades-old ban to be scrapped.
But in the end the protest failed to attract more than a dozen women.
A mass naked run due to take place yesterday/on Sunday along a pedestrian street in Porto Alegre also proved a flop.
The event – organised over Facebook after the latest naked escapades – was expected to attract 3,000 people but in the end only 15 showed up.


text: I talked with a VZW tech just a few minutes ago. I described her the silent bug problem on 2.1. She said she is a Droid user and her daughter has an Eris. She said she had frequent freezeup on her Droid and now she reccomends to do one reboot every day. She says she had not had a problem since she has been doing this. She made a mark on my file about my complain and recommended to try the once-a-day reboot for a week. If the problem persists, the store will issue a new phone. I will try this reboot thing each night, will see how it goes. I am a bit worried about the exchange - they perhaps would give me a refurb, and what is the guarantie that I won't end up with the same problem. Peter

Three generations of filmmakers--from Bahram Beiza'i to Mohsen Makhmalbaf to his daughter Samira Makhmalbaf--are all active today, creating works of spectacular range and depth. In Europe and in North America, in Asia and in Latin America, in Australia and Africa, the thematic and narrative richness of Iranian cinema has met with tremendous acclaim. Indeed, its particular mode of realism--building on such cinematic antecedents as Italian, French and German neo-realism--has become truly trans-national, contributing a new visual vocabulary to filmmaking everywhere. "Masters and Masterpieces of Iranian Cinema is narrated around fifteen of the best Iranian filmmakers of the past half-century and takes a close look at both their lives and their greatest works. In his vivid account, Hamid Dabashi explains how--despite the censorship of both the Pahlavi monarchy and the Islamic Republic--the creativity of these filmmakers has transcended national and cultural borders. The author explores the rise and ascendancy of Iranian cinema in the more general context of modern Iranian intellectual history. He delves into the roots of Iranian cinema in Persian poetry and fiction and examines ways in which a rich cinematic tradition has been nourished. The book also studies the role that prominent film festivals have played in fostering the global success of Iranian cinema and it investigates the reception of these films withinIran, an intriguing story in its own right.

It is on the rise Gents!!
I agree, NYC.
Nice photo, dmitri.
Nice photo , Street!
Great photo! Is that yellow scaffolding I see going up on CPT?
"Good, I hate long waits."- Han Solo
AMAzing photos, Emo!
Where did you snap them?
Nice shot, Tec!
Thanks for the updates, Robert. Great to see this rising again!
CityWide wrote this on the SSP forums, which caught my attention:
"for some reason I thought the cantilever was suppose to be some staggering distance, like 20 feet. What these photos show doesn't look like such a big deal. Is there more to come?"
Did he mean 20 feet of overhang from the main structure? If this is the case, this easily looks to be over 20 feet extended from the main structure.
I thought I read somewhere that the cantilever is more like 30 feet. It can be difficult since it is so high up, but it looks like it could be 30 feet from most photos we have seen.
28.03 feet exactly
A 28 foot cantilever is, for engineering purposes, quite large on a building this tall. That helps explain why so much time was taken to let the concrete cure. It has a lot of weight to support.

Wessex FM News
Art Coming To Weymouth
9:35am 11th May 2013
The final designs for a new art scheme for a prime site in Weymouth have been approved.
A panel made up of representatives from New Look, Sainsbury's and the Borough Council have agreed three designs for the Gateway Site.
They've been inspired by stories from the local community.
Dorset Artist Andy Kirkby has been commissioned to create the artwork.
Andy Kirkby said: "I would like to thank everyone for getting involved and having an input into these designs.
"'Some of the work makes reference to broader Weymouth history - The Jurassic coast, George III and the old Whitehead torpedo factory.
"Other designs draw their inspiration from various 'hidden histories', which do not appear in any guide books. These stories emerged during the initial public engagement period, kindly donated by local residents."
Andy is also being helped by Radipole illustrator Katie Rewse and local manufacturing company ATL, who are based on the Granby Industrial Estate.
Details regarding the siting of the artworks at the Weymouth Gateway site are currently being finalised.
The art scheme is due to be installed by early 2014.
In his original design development, Andy also held creative workshops with pupils at Radipole School and Wey Valley School, who made clay models and told him of their favourite local stories to inform his ideas.
A selection of pupils' work was exhibited in Weymouth's Central Library during the beginning of March 2013, alongside some of Andy's concept design drawings.
An online blog has been set up at www.andykirkby.com where people can keep up to date with the project developments.

Hello Stephen,
Our main concern with your suggestion is that it will lead to misuse of this API. Having Throw appear to return an exception and throw the exception may make people think they can do things like this:
Exception e = ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw();
// do some other stuff
throw e;
The "other stuff" will never actually execute.
Additionally, this will create an inconsistency in the way Base Class Library APIs are designed in that Throw will never return anything, and yet the proposed signature will appear to return a value.
ExceptionDispatchInfo is an infrastructure component and apps that use it will be extremely limited - mostly frameworks that use Async. After giving due consideration to your suggestion, we have decided not to fix this in the current release. If we hear enough complaints around this in future we will re-visit this issue.

3.5 stars
Full disclosure: I've dreamed of living on the moon. Literally — I've had nighttime reveries of inhabiting a lunar pressure dome, hopping around in one-sixth gravity like a man in a big bouncy castle. So I feel a certain kinship with the astronauts, entrepreneurs, dreamers and even the odd crackpot featured in Simon Ennis's sweet new documentary, Lunarcy!
Most lunatic of the bunch is Christopher Carson, self-described "instigator" of the Luna Project, which aims to put a man – Carson himself – on the moon, with no intention of returning to Earth. "Luna City or Bust," as his vests and buttons say.
Carson's story stands at the centre of Lunarcy! (That exclamation point is important to understanding the spirit of the film, by the way.) But Ennis handles the man's dreams lightly; the tone is affectionate rather than mocking. "He's always been an odd child," says his mom. Before the moon, his obsession was with zeppelins. (Again, I empathize.)
The 80-minute film visits a number of other lunar dreamers, gentle folk all. Peter Kokh, lifelong Wisconsinite and editor of Moon Miners' Manifesto, knows he's too old to go but busies himself with the question of how future lunar artists will create musical instruments and paints out of local materials.
This provides a nice segue to Al Bean, Apollo 12 astronaut and arguably the best extra-terrestrial artist in history. He now devotes his life to painting images of the moon as only one who has been there can.
Then there's Dennis Hope, owner of the moon ever since he sent a note to the U.N. asking if they had any problem with that – and never heard back! He now runs a business selling property on several celestial bodies, and counts several former U.S. presidents as his clients. "I'm actually the wealthiest individual on the planet," Hope says. "In theory."
Some people have actually managed to lay physical claim to a piece of the moon. Joseph R. Gutheinz, a retired NASA investigator, describes 1998's Operation Lunar Eclipse, a sting that smoked out several sellers of fake moon rocks, and one who had stolen a real piece given as a goodwill gift to the government of Honduras.
In fact, there's probably a film to be made about all the lost and looted lunar samples. Ennis tracks down Jaymie Matthews, an astrophysicist from Chatham, Ont., who was a youth ambassador in 1972 and received a piece of the moon. He later gave it to the government of Canada, in exchange for a book called Birds of Canada – clearly the worst trade ever. It went missing for about 30 years, but is now on display at the science museum in Ottawa.
It's possible that not all of Ennis's interview subjects appreciate the company they keep in this film. But in spite of the sometimes silly nature of the material, there are oddball moments of truth. "Why did the dinosaurs become extinct?" Carson says, explaining the need for off-world colonies. "Because they didn't have a space program." Well, he's right.
Lunarcy! opens Feb. 8 at the Bloor Hot Docs cinema in Toronto. Ennis will participate in a Q&A after the 6:45 p.m. screening on Feb. 8 and the 6 p.m. screening on Feb. 9.

Mapule Klas' Tutor Testimonial
My experience at SPARK Schools has being the best ever. When I started at SPARK, I was employed as a coach. Our director of leadership and development gave me an opportunity and chance to be part of the Learning Lab team as a tutor.
At SPARK I have a very supportive team of dedicated professionals who strive to give me the best training I could ever ask for. It is a wonderful thing to work with a team of people who are invested in each person's growth within the organisation.
SPARK is a fantastic place to work because every day is different. The great students, the supportive team and opportunities to develop professionally, are just some of the reasons why I love SPARK.
I love working with our SPARK Scholars. The respect that our learners are taught to give teachers is wonderful. At SPARK we believe in doing all we can to make sure our learners get the best education possible. We also believe that parent involvement is a key part of education, because parents need to support their children and be a part of our goal to achieve academic excellence.
I love tutoring my learners because the growth I see in them each day is such a rewarding feeling. One of the reasons I came to SPARK Schools was to see that growth and the smiles on my learner's faces.

1. The Mandaean Human Rights Group (MHRG) represents the Sabian Mandaean community, an ethno-religious, linguistic minority and an indigenous people from Iraq and Iran, numbering approximately 60,000 individuals with our own independent 2,000-year-old religion and our own language, a dialect of Aramaic.
2. Since 2003, 90% of Mandaeans have left Iraq having suffered persecution from religious fundamentalists, ethnic supremacists and from criminals, leaving 6,000 remaining in Iraq.1. The Mandaean community has therefore suffered more displacement than other groups in Iraqi society. The MHRG continues to advocate on behalf of Mandaeans still in Iraq and Mandaean refugees, most of whom are Iraqi citizens, around the world.
3. The Mandaean community in Iraq is of continuing concern for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Mission of Assistance to Iraq (UNAMI).2
4. The Mandaic language has been classified by UNESCO as "critically endangered".3 Articles 26 and 27
5. The MHRG welcome the protection of minorities in the Iraqi Constitution particularly through Article 2.4 However, the situation for minorities remains particularly perilous at this time.
6. Members of minorities face particular disadvantages in the current crisis in Iraq:
a) While Iraqis from all communities have suffered ethnic cleansing and internal displacement on the basis of their ethnic and religious background, members of large communities can move to areas populated by their ethnic and religious communities and receive support, while members of minorities have nowhere to go where they can feel safe.
b) While Iraqis from all communities have suffered persecution and crimes, the MHRG's experience is that crimes against minorities are less likely to be effectively investigated and punished. This is because police units can have a lack of will, they can be affiliated with a particular community, and they can find it hard to find witnesses willing to testify. This in turn means that persons feel that they can commit crimes against members of minorities with impunity.
c) While hate speech has been directed against all communities in Iraq, particular threats of genocide have been made against groups who are not considered вҖҹpeople of the book" under some interpretations of Sharia law.
d) Iraqis who are affiliated with powerful tribes have access to forms of support, security, and remedies that are not available to others. Members of minorities and Mandaeans in particular are not affiliated with tribes.
7. The Government of Iraq therefore has particularly strong obligations to protect members of minorities.
8. The MHRG welcomes the provision in the Iraqi Constitution for members of parliament to be drawn from minority communities.5 However, the current law does not restrict the electorate to members of these minorities, and elected representatives therefore do not represent the minority they are drawn from.
9. The MHRG welcomes efforts by the Government of Iraq to promote tolerance in Iraqi society, particularly in districts of Baghdad.6 Such measures should be extended to the rest of the country and be carried out through the media as well as in schools. Articles 26 and 27 in conjunction with Articles 6 and 9
10. The MHRG has documented over 170 murders of members of the Mandaean community since 2003.7 Six murders have been documented in 2014 in areas fully under the direct control of the Government of Iraq.8
11. The MHRG has documented over 270 kidnaps of members of the Mandaean community since 2003, many of them held for ransom.9 Other incidents have taken place but have not been published by the MHRG at the request of the families involved. Several Mandaeans have been kidnapped in 2014, some of whom have been murdered and one of whom has disappeared.
12. Iraq has a positive obligations under Articles 6 and 9 to investigate, prosecute and punish the crimes of kidnap and murder. However, very few such crimes against Mandaeans have been properly investigated or punished.
13. Mandaean families who have lost members to murder are unable to secure compensation or other form of remedy. Likewise Mandaeans who have fled persecution in Iraq receive nosupport from the Government of Iraq.
14. The MHRG has lines of communication with representatives of the Iraqi government. However we recommend that a formal system, in the form of a Minorities Security Councilshould be establish to ensure that concerns of minorities anywhere in the State can be addressed by the central Government authorities. Article 20
15. The MHRG welcomes the prohibition of hate speech in Iraqi law.10 However, they would like to see more prosecutions arising from this law. The Mandaean Human Rights Group recommends the following:
16. In order to ensure that crimes against members of minorities do not go unpunished and to respond to crises facing minorities, the Government of Iraq should form a Minorities Security Council including representatives of all minorities, and representatives from the UN agencies, directly linked to the government to guarantee a fast response in cases of emergency, proper investigations, and follow-up plans of action to restore confidence.
17. The Government of Iraq should institute a campaign for religious tolerance that identifies all Iraqis as equal citizens and combats hatred and divisiveness. The campaign should be carried out at various levels: in the media, religious establishments and in the curriculum in schools.
18. The Government of Iraq should instigate a programme to systematically prosecute hate speech, particularly from religious leaders. It should provide information on the prosecution of hate speech.
19. The voting system for parliament should be altered to ensure that only members of a minority have the right to elect the representative of that minority.
20. The Government of Iraq should provide remedy in the form of compensation and support for victims of crimes, internally displaced persons and refugees.

"As the sword of the best tempered metal is most flexible, so the truly generous are most pliant and courteous in their behavior to their inferiors"
"You see, my good friend, how much we are the creatures of situation and circumstance, and with what pliant servility the mind resigns itself to the impressions of the senses, or the illusions of the imagination"
"One of the most ignored dimensions of the Iraqi insurgency are the Iraqis themselves who are regularly abducted, held for ransom and sometimes executed."
"I believed -- and I said from the podium -- that as Iraqis became more politically empowered, the insurgency would become politically weakened. That hasn't happened. The political process has been resilient -- and so has the insurgency."

Acute and chronic infections of the urinary tract caused by susceptible to malaria infections (urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, and others.), Prostatitis. Infection prevention during catheterization, endoscopy and by instrumental interventions.
- severe liver and renal function (creatinine clearance at least 60 ml / min and a serum creatinine over 265 mmol / L.);
- pregnancy (especially the I – III trimester) and lactation;
- childhood,
- organic lesions of the central nervous system:
- infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens;
- Hypersensitivity to pipemidic acid.
Dosage and administration
The average dose for adults – 2 times 2 capsules a day (morning and evening) before meals. When staphylococcal infections dosing interval should not exceed 8 hours. In the presence of resistant microorganisms can increase the average dose of 2 times. The course of treatment 10 days extended physician if necessary. When kidney disease treatment duration is from 3 lo 6 weeks, winstrol results with prostatitis 6-8 weeks. Vo time of treatment the patient should drink plenty of liquids.
Side effects:

Nervous System: blurred vision, headache, dizziness, weakness. Very rarely, depressive disorders, hallucinations and psychosis, peripheral disturbances in the form of muscle weakness, and myalgia. Large seizures may occur very rarely.
For the skin: photosensitivity with erythema, as well as possible allergic rash, urticaria and pruritus. Pipemidic acid in patients with deficiency of glucose-6-dehydrogenases can cause hemolytic anemia.
If overdose may experience nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, tremor, in more severe cases – seizures. It is recommended to carry out gastric lavage, control of vital functions (blood circulation, breathing). Elimination of the drug from the body can be accelerated by forced diuresis. The drug was well derived from the plasma by hemodialysis blood. There is no specific antidote.
Interaction with other drugs
pipemidic acid inhibits liver enzyme P450, and therefore, especially important reactions observed after the simultaneous interaction of the drug with theophylline and caffeine. A significant increase in the concentration of the two drugs in blood plasma, resulting in slowing down their metabolism, can cause symptoms of adverse effects.
When allergic reactions to the drug – must stop its use. With prolonged use of the drug should monitor the overall performance of blood to carry out liver and kidney samples and repeat antibiogram. Caution should be exercised when administering the drug to the elderly (over 70 years) and patients with impaired renal function. In the treatment to avoid exposure to sunlight and kvartsevaniya because of possible photosensitivity. Care should be taken when administering the drug to patients with a history of bleeding in the brain, the cerebral circulation and spasms of cerebral vessels, as well winstrol results as seizures. Patients with epilepsy appoint strictly following testimony with caution. Pipemidic acid is not recommended when oliguria and anuria. During the course of treatment is recommended to increase fluid intake (under the control of urine output).

If there's one thing Tara Housman gleaned from driving taxis for 29 years in San Francisco, it's that she'd rather work the night shift.
"The streets are clearer," Housman says, chattering into her cellphone from the cab line in front of the Bank of America building. "The drunks are bad at math, and they tip better." If a passenger gets surly, she'll discard him at the nearest brightly lit intersection. "And generally," she says, "they know why."
In a city where women represent an estimated 5 percent of the taxi-driving workforce — which is appreciably more than in most urban cities — Housman is something of a rarity: Fifty-five years old, garrulous, flinty, apt to regale customers with mini-tours of the city, but quick to dump the ones who give her any lip.
Cab driving hasn't traditionally been a woman's domain. In the taxi industry, women might take jobs as clerks or dispatchers, collect the cash and hand out the keys, but they're generally not inclined to ferry customers around town — with good reason, says Christiane Hayashi, the SFMTA's director of Taxis and Accessible Services. There's no telling what can happen when you're alone in a car with strangers.
Improbably, though, women seem to be gravitating toward other forms of professional driving. App-based car-hire start-ups such as Lyft and Summon (formerly InstantCab) both attract a hefty number of female applicants — Lyft, in fact, has a 30 percent female livery force in San Francisco, according to a spokeswoman. SideCar, which is still majority male, saw a spike in female interest after unveiling a feature that allows drivers to stick within circumscribed zones. Uber, whose spokesman declined to discuss gender ratios, touts certain "safety features" that make it hospitable to women.
It's worth noting that a woman need only drive one shift a month to count as part of the "workforce" at any of these companies, which skews the gender statistics in their favor. Yet there still seems to be a stronger female presence in the start-ups than in cab companies. Even though the app-based services have fewer safety requirements than traditional cabs, and even though they're not equipped with standard taxi dashboard cameras or radio dispatch systems, they seem to enjoy a sunnier public image.
Chalk that up to marketing (not for nothing does the Lyft pink mustache connote innocence and stylishness) or to the flexible hours (any soccer mom can drive for Summon). To Hayashi, though, the discrepancy points to a deeper problem: Techie cars-for-hire aren't mandated to drive into undesirable neighborhoods, or pick up unsavory customers.
They have the veneer of gender equity, without the demand to be equitable.

Environmental impacts of international trade: The Case of Industrial Emission of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in Chinese provinces
To get better understanding on trade's impact on environment, we construct a four-equation simultaneous system, in which emission is determined by the three economic determinants: scale, composition and technical effects and directly by trade. Supposing the three economic determinants are also endogenous to trade, we check in the following three functions the indirect impacts of trade on environment through the intermediation of the three effects. The model is then estimated by 29 Chinese provinces' panel data on industrial SO2 emission (1993-2001). Our estimation results reveal totally opposite role of export expansion and accumulation of manufactured goods import in industrial SO2 emission determination. The results do not support "pollution haven" hypothesis; the reinforced competition faced by exporters is a positive factor encouraging technology progress in pollution abatement. China's actual comparative advantage resides in labor-intensive industries, exporting to world market actually helps to reduce pollution increasing caused by its heavy-industry-oriented industrialization strategy, which is traditionally supported by government-intervened import activities.

A federal Liberal MP has backed an investigation by the competition regulator into fuel discounting, saying that the latest price offer is "over the top".
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is examining promotions by supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths that offer petrol discounts of up to 40 cents a litre.
The promotion is offering motorists who spend more than $300 in one supermarket visit a 40 cents a litre petrol discount.
Shoppers who spend $200 or more receive a 25 cents a litre discount, while those who spend $100 or more get a 10 cents a litre discount.
"To me it sounds just over the top and I think the ACCC has a real role to play here," opposition backbencher Bronwyn Bishop told Sky News.
Ms Bishop fears the consequences if Coles and Woolworths succeed in knocking out independent service stations who cannot match the discounts.
"What then happens to petrol prices as well as your grocery prices?"
Labor MP Mark Dreyfus says cheaper petrol is a welcome move, but cautioned the big retailers.
"It has to be understood that predatory pricing is illegal in this country," he said.

Faisal Mohammad, 18, is thought to have become self-radicalised and drew his motivation from terrorist propaganda that he found online before carrying out the attack on 4 November at the University of California in Merced, authorities said.
Gina Swankie, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Sacramento field office, said in a statement: "Every indication is that Mohammad acted on his own.
"It may never be possible to definitively determine why he chose to attack people on the UC Merced Campus."
Mohammad burst into a classroom in Merced, stabbing two students. He then stabbed a construction worker who went to intervene, before running from the building and stabbing a school employee who was sitting on a bench.
He was then shot dead by police.
The FBI said the college freshman, from Santa Clara, had visited IS and other extremist group websites for several weeks and planned the attack at least a week before carrying it out.
During the attack, Mohammad carried a backpack containing a two-page, hand-written manifesto detailing plans to bind students to their desks with zip-ties.
He was then going to make a fake 911 distress call, before ambushing responding police officers with a hunting knife and planned to steal their guns so he could shoot a list of classmates.
The backpack also contained a photocopy of an IS flag and a list of items he needed for the attack, the FBI said.
Daniel Mayfield, a lawyer for Mohammad's family, said they do not know what prompted the violent outburst, which took place days after his 18th birthday.
He said: "This is not the Faisal the family knew and loved and sent off to the university."
The knife attack took place a month before a husband-and-wife shot dead 14 people and wounded 21 others at a work holiday party in San Bernardino.
Both Mohammad and the couple - Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook - are believed to have been influenced by IS, but were not directly connected to it. They were also not on watch lists.
UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland said in a statement: "I am proud of the way our campus community came together in the aftermath of this incident, and the kindness displayed by so many only reinforced what I already knew to be true about UC Merced.
"Now, we move to the task of further healing and taking care of the needs of our students, staff and faculty."

Program of Study
Expand the headings below to learn more about the Mount's Program of study, Academic Integrity Policy, Advanced Placement Program (AP), block schedule and Grading Scale.
Introduction to Program of Study
The selection of an educational program is one of the most important decisions you, the student, can make. It is one that will affect your immediate educational plans as well as your future. The purpose of this booklet is to provide a brief description of the courses offered at Mount Saint Joseph Academy.
While planning your program, assess your aptitudes as well as your past scholastic achievements. Think about your college and vocational goals. Before making selections from the courses offered, discuss your educational goals with your parents, teachers, and guidance counselors. The more information you have, the better will be your decisions.
You may choose any course listed, provided you meet the requirements. These requirements are made because education must build on previous knowledge if it is to be effective. There is no point electing a course if you have not mastered the one upon which it builds. The school may reserve the right to change your selection if you demonstrate a lack of qualification for a course, or if inadequate enrollment, or scheduling conflicts warrant such action. No exceptions to stated prerequisites will be considered unless circumstances are such that a grave injustice would otherwise result. Also note that not all courses will match your schedule.
Scheduling conflicts occur when two or more classes that a student requests are offered at the same time. Not all conflicts can be resolved due to the number of courses offered and students requesting courses.
Courses listed in the Program of Study book are offered only if student registration and staffing permit.
Students are required to choose enough credits to fulfill graduation requirements. Prerequisites are required for many courses and they must be fulfilled to move into the next level.
Click here to view the NEW 2017-2018 Program of Study for next school year >>
2017-2018 Rostering Information
Students are reminded to register for courses for the 2017-2018 school year by March 24th. Register for courses online through PowerSchool. A video describing the process is available here >>.
Online registration has begun and ends on March 24th. Once a student has completed her online course requests, she will meet with her Guidance Counselor. All students are to sign up for an appointment in the Guidance Department. After meeting with her counselor, the student will receive a printout of her courses, along with a registration form. This form and course listing must be returned with a registration fee of $1,000 by March 24th.
Academic Integrity
Students and faculty at MSJA aim to seek truth and intellectual growth in an atmosphere of mutual support. Such a quest imposes an obligation on the students to be an active part of the learning process and to accept responsibility for their academic behavior and success.
Mount Saint Joseph Academy is committed to providing an environment where young women are enabled and empowered "to meet the moral and ethical challenges of an ever-changing society and a technological future." (Mission statement) Mount students are expected to be young women of outstanding character for whom honesty and integrity are respected values that are practiced in all situations. This is certainly true in academic endeavors. It is the official policy of Mount Saint Joseph Academy that all acts of alleged academic dishonesty be reported to the Dean of Studies. The Dean of Students will be notified for appropriate disciplinary action. The Principal will be informed.
Definition of Cheating
Cheating is defined as representing someone else's work as your own. It gives someone an unearned advantage in an academic setting. (ETS, Cheating is a Personal Foul)
Cheating includes, but is not limited to the following:
• Copying from a written text from any source without acknowledgement
• Looking at or off someone else's paper
• Allowing a student to look at or off your paper
• Plagiarism (inclusion of someone else's work or thoughts) whether it be copying directly from another source or paraphrasing another source without acknowledging the source
• Resubmitting of a project or report for another class without prior approval and authorization by the teachers
• Sharing test information before and after a test or quiz, etc.
• Cutting and pasting information from one source to another
• Storing and/or swapping information from
calculators or other electronic devices
• Sharing or copying workbooks, assignments, labs, homework, tests, activities, etc. from person to person, from class to class, etc.
• Providing or comparing answers or reading answers from a book for another to copy
• Swapping answers via the Internet, e-mail or any other electronic devices, such as phones, toys, laser chats, wireless systems, chat rooms, etc.
• Leaving a storage devise available for another to copy (Univ. of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies)
• Buying information from the Internet or any other source
• Citing information from a source not actually used in the research (Univ. of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies)
• Unauthorized use of a textbook, notes or other material during a test, quiz or exam, etc. (Univ. of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies)
• Taking a test, etc. for someone or allowing the student to take a test, etc. for you (Univ. of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies)
• Stealing, bribing or pressuring another student to get information on tests, etc. (Univ. of Delaware Student Guide to University Policies)
• Changing an answer as a test or quiz is being collected
When a student is guilty of cheating, the following regulations apply:
In tests/quizzes, projects, homework papers, major tests, etc., the student receives an automatic zero with no possibility for making up that grade. However, the student must demonstrate mastery of the assessed skill by retaking the test, or resubmitting the assignment. The student will receive comments on the work for educational purposes, but will not receive a grade for the work. The Dean of Studies meets with students and demerits are issued. Occurrences of cheating are not purged at the end of the year. A subsequent incident of cheating will require a meeting with the Principal and may result in more severe consequences.
All students will sign a statement each year in which they promise to uphold the academic standards of the school.
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
Block Scheduling
