BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Suicide bombers blew up their vehicle near a military camp in Mali's northern city of Timbuktu, killing two civilians and wounding seven people, the camp's commander said Saturday.
The attack was the second to target security forces in the north since Thursday's announcement that separatist Tuareg rebels were suspending participation in a peace accord reached earlier this year with the government.
Two civilians were killed by the car bomb along with the attackers, and four soldiers were wounded at the entrance to the military camp, said Mohamed Ibrahim Cisse, the president of the regional assembly.
"In the town, the explosion caused several houses to collapse, which resulted in at least three civilians coming to the emergency room at Timbuktu's hospital," he said.
The head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali, which is working to help secure the country's north, strongly condemned the attack.
Bert Koenders said the U.N. mission known as MINUSMA "will continue to support the Malian people and their authorities so that peace and stability are restored across the entire region."
Timbuktu resident Abdoulaye Cisse said he saw a 4x4 vehicle positioned in front of the camp before the explosion.
"The force of the explosion was so strong that the wall and the gate of the camp were razed, and another house fell in the city because of the earthquake caused by the explosion," Cisse said. "I saw an ambulance come to take people to the hospital."
In a separate attack on Friday in Kidal, a grenade was thrown at a bank, wounding two security officers, said Kidal zone commander Mamary Camara.
"The grenade which was launched from a neighboring house at the bank wounded two people. One is lightly injured and he has already left the hospital, and the other has a minor injury and is still at the hospital," Camara said. "We arrested one person found in the house where the grenade was thrown, and an investigation is ongoing."
The same Kidal bank was targeted in a grenade attack two weeks ago that resulted in no injuries. Many Kidal residents are hostile to the presence of the Malian military.
Northern Mali fell to a mix of rebel groups including Tuareg separatists and al-Qaida-linked Islamist extremists following a coup in March 2012. A French-led military intervention launched in January drove the Islamists from major cities.
But Tuareg separatists remained in Kidal, turning it into a de facto Tuareg state.
In June, talks between Tuareg leaders and Mali's transitional administration yielded an agreement that allowed the Malian military to return to Kidal and for the July 2013 presidential election to be held.
President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who won the election in an August runoff, has made reconciliation a priority for his new government, even naming a minister responsible for the effort and for developing the north.
On Thursday, however, this effort was dealt a significant blow by the announcement from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad that it would be pulling out of the June accord.

Aidan Lynch is listed twice. Please correct that? 220.127.116.11 22:53, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
James Potter is a known seeker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
James was a chaser. See this interview with JKR. http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2000/1000-scholastic-chat.htm --JKoch(Owl Me!) 20:17, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
I know it's pure speculation, but is might be possible to reconcile the film's "seeker" trophy with James's "canon" book position; Remember that in book 5, after Harry and the twins received their lifetime bans, Ginny, a chaser, played as seeker and it was in that position that Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup that year. The following year she returned to being a chaser until Harry's suspension for casting sectusempera on Draco Malfoy, when she again played seeker in the winning game. It is possible that something similar happened during the year the trophy in question was awarded; James (normally a chaser) was playing as seeker, substituting for the regular seeker, who, for unknown reasons, was unable to play the final game. Thus the winning team would list James as 'Seeker' instead of 'Chaser'. Sings-With-Spirits 20:27, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Spot or Not: Sea World Gap
By Adam Aslanian
On this particular day, I was invited out to shoot with none other than Andrew Pastura, Matt Hooker, Tj Giesy, and Grant Roberts (god he's so hot right now). At first we headed over to the deer creek gap. Hooker started it off with some kickflip attempts, but was constantly bested by the lily pads that kept grabbing the rope from him. Grant was up next and was ever so close to a back big down it, until the cops had other ideas. Busted, as is usually my luck. So, after little debate, we all decided there was plenty of daylight left and headed over to the Sea World gap to see what Andy and Tj could accomplish.
Now the Sea World gap is not a new find in any sense of the word. This spot has been shredded for quite some time now in fact, and was first hit by Russell Brightwell, as immortalized in LaSewer. For me though, this was my first experience with it. Once we arrived I immediately jumped out of the car and scoped it out. I had seen all the photos of this place so I had a reasonably good idea of what to expect. However, I must say that all the images in the world cannot do this place justice. This gap is gnarly. You start out in a plenty long enough area, and the ollie onto the rail isn't tough at all, but after that all bets are off. Falling is not really an option. To your right you have a solid bed of rocks, and to your left, you have some gigantic metal contraption that I still don't know the purpose of. But hey, it sure looks neat in photos. Bottom line, this spot is not for the faint of heart. I mean I definitely wouldn't recommend going here for your first boardslide behind the winch or anything.
All gnarliness aside, the Sea World gap is pretty legit. It's not too often you find a perfect metal rail to winch that you didn't even have to construct. If you do ever happen to stumble upon this spot though, just stay out of sight because it's a pretty easy bust. The Sea World police and their supercharged golf carts are always on the prowl. I found this out first hand once I decided to stand on top of the ledge where everyone could see me. Woops. If it wasn't for me and my never-ending quest for the perfect angle, who knows what Andrew and Tj would have stuck that day.

To find friends through your friends:
If I don't share my real name with someone on my friends list but my friend does, can that person see my real name through friends of friends?
No. Your real name will remain hidden from that person regardless of whether your friend is sharing real names with that person. Your preference is honored first.

Yes. To block a specific person from seeing your real name, add that person to your block list by selecting block under Report or block on that person's gamercard. See Mute or block other players on Xbox Live.
Can other people see the real name of my child?
No. Real name sharing is not available for young children. Teens can share real names, but only if an adult in the family enables this setting for their account.

Quad City Launches Family Office
Customer demand often drives the launch of new products, but when Quad City Bank & Trust decided in 2006 to launch its own family office services for ultra-high-net-worth customers in response to interest from a prospective client, the bank's trust department wasn't sure where to start. "The concept was so new in banking, there wasn't a structure to follow," recalls Chad Lewis, wealth management VP for the Bettendorf, Iowa-based institution.
To establish the family office, Lewis teamed with trust department colleague Paul Schmitt, who had eight years of family office experience with a previous employer. The pair first approached the bank's existing trust accounting ASP vendor about adding family office functionality. But technical barriers were prohibitive. "Next, we attended a family office seminar and discovered most of the technology solutions in our range were targeted to hedge funds, not banks," Lewis says.
By early 2008, Quad City Bank & Trust ($1.8 billion in total assets) had identified two possible vendors. "One required a third-party solution to integrate its family office application with our vendor's trust accounting system," explains Schmitt, assistant VP and trust officer. "But we weren't comfortable with three vendors moving information between trust accounting and family office."
The other provider -- Wayne, Pa.-based SunGard -- suggested replacing the bank's existing trust accounting provider with a combination of its own ASP-delivered solutions: Charlotte for trust accounting and the iWorks Enterprise Accounting System (EAS) for family office analysis and reporting, as well as WealthStation for acquiring, servicing and growing client relationships. "Although it was an attractive solution, we had to justify to ourselves the dissolution of a successful 14-year relationship with our existing trust accounting vendor," Lewis notes.
Change for the Better
Determined to add family office functionality, Quad City Bank & Trust began the Charlotte integration in May 2008 and went live with the solution six months later. Since the old and new accounting systems were both Microsoft (Redmond, Wash.) Windows and SQL-enabled, no additional infrastructure investments were required, Schmitt relates. Similarly, existing servers would accommodate iWorks and WealthStation.
"If there's one thing we'd do differently, we wouldn't have rolled out in November," notes Schmitt. "Due to year-end tax season, people didn't have time to become immediately fluent with the system."
Also at the end of 2008, the bank's first family office customer came aboard. But because iWorks was not yet deployed, many of the tasks related to that customer were performed manually, Lewis concedes. "Ideally, we'd have rolled out family office by moving an existing customer, whose records were already in Charlotte, into iWorks," he says. "However, building out iWorks while simultaneously integrating all the external data sources for a new customer became an excellent way to learn about the capabilities of our new platform."
By October 2009 iWorks was fully deployed and the family office services were officially launched. Among other benefits, the iWorks/Charlotte combination has slashed family office check processing times from about a week to just a couple of days, Lewis reports. "Multiply that by the several hundred checks we cut every month, and the savings are significant," he says. "Plus, when needed, we can cut a check within an hour."
The trust department is equally pleased with the transition to SunGard. "For the most part, our staff wishes we'd done it sooner," relates Schmitt. "In addition, networking issues for our IT staff have been reduced because Charlotte is more stable than our previous solution."
As its family office practice continues to grow, Quad City Bank & Trust currently is implementing WealthStation. "Since going live, we've added to our client base," reports Lewis. "Even though the amount of data we handle for each customer is exponentially more than a single standard trust client, our three-person staff is managing the workload efficiently due to SunGard's capabilities. In fact, we're on target to meet our goal of adding two new family office customers per year."
Institution: Quad City Bank & Trust (a subsidiary of QCR Holdings, Moline, Ill.).
Assets: $1.8 billion.
Business Challenge: Establish a family office to attract and retain ultra-high-net-worth customers.
Solution: SunGard's (Wayne, Pa.) Charlotte trust and investment management system and iWorks enterprise accounting system (EAS).

Statistical ranking of defense lawyers? Maybe, but not this way.Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013
It's an intriguing notion: that one can objectively assess the relative effectiveness of a given lawyer. With hard data, and sound analysis. In the real world, it's nigh impossible to tell how good a lawyer really is. You can look on Avvo and see what people here and there may have subjectively thought about him, but that doesn't tell you whether any other lawyer would have done as well (or been just as dissatisfying). You can ask around and get a sense of what other lawyers generally think of him, but that's just as subjective. There's really nothing out there to tell you for sure whether that lawyer gets better-than-average results or not.
So Wake Forest professors Ronald Wright and Ralph Peeples — to their great credit — tried to see if it could be done. In their recent paper, "Criminal Defense Lawyer Moneyball: A Demonstration Project," they conclude that it can be done. They may even be right about that. But not from the data they gathered, sadly.

Spending a few minutes preparing a handful of simple ingredients for an easy and delicious South Asian-inspired marinade gives this dish an enormous amount of flavour, plus a built-in sauce after the salmon has been grilled. By reducing the volume of the marinade, or any cooking liquid, either rapidly over high heat or more slowly over low heat, you concentrate the flavours and thicken the consistency, making a quick, and wonderfully flavourful sauce. In this recipe, the salmon is marinated with brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh squeezed lime juice, sesame oil and a mixture of Indian spices including Garam Masala, ground cumin, coriander and Chinese 5-spice, for a dark and fragrant marinade. A portion of the marinade is set aside for later use in making the sauce, with the remainder placed in a baking dish with the salmon, which is covered and chilled for a few hours. Later, the salmon is grilled until it's nicely browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes a side. The reserved marinade is then cooked in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it has reduced to a thick glaze, then is drizzled over the salmon and garnished with a flurry of chopped chives, mint and sesame seeds. Simple, easy and delicious.
Spicy South Asian Grilled Salmon with Redux Drizzle
Serves 2
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp Asian sesame oil
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp Chinese 5-spice
2 salmon filets, skin on
4 tbsp chives and mint, chopped and whole for garnish
1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except for salmon, chives and sesame seeds. Set 1/4 cup of the marinade aside and cover for later use in the sauce, then place the remainder in a baking dish with the salmon and cover with cling film. Be sure salmon is evenly coated, then place the dish in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least an hour or up to a day before.
Preheat grill to high heat. Place the salmon on the grill, cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is nicely browned and cooked through. Meanwhile, warm the reserved marinade over medium-high heat until it has reduced to a thick glaze. To serve, place the salmon on a platter and drizzle with the reserved marinade. Garnish with the chopped chives, mint and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Why should I file a case against the Ansal Carnation garden builder for delay in possession of flat?
You're putting your investment at risk if you fail to take an action against the builder for delayed possession delivery. If you do not file a case against the builder and the builder files for bankruptcy, you will not be named as one of the creditors to claim your amount. Without filing a case, you will not be eligible to get reimbursement when the court orders sale of builder's assets.
Is interest paid on the amount in case of non-delivery of possession?
In case of delay in property possession, a 12% interest is paid to the buyer who files a case with NCDRC. If the flat is not delivered within 12 months of filing of case, an interest of 18% is to be paid by the builder.
The builder has promised to deliver the possession in a few months. Should I still file a case?
It is advised not to rely completely on builder's promises, rather take every measure possible to protect your investment! If the delay in possession from the decided date is less than 12 months, you may choose to not file a case against the builder. But, if the delay is beyond 12 months and you have multiple units or large investment, you must file a case against the builder.
Can different homebuyers file the case as a group against Ansal Carnation garden delaying possession?
A group petition against builder delaying possession is filed as a class action. However, any delay by one person could affect the case for every homebuyer. It is recommended to file a case for delay in possession of flat individually as it is a much faster legal action against the builder.
Is it compulsory to appear in person on every hearing date?
No, it is not compulsory to appear in person on every court date. Your property lawyer can appear for you in the court unless you are asked by the court to appear in person. Your property lawyer will appear for you in court even if you are not in the city or even country.
How much time would a case against Ansal Carnation garden delayed possession take in court?
When you send a legal notice to builder for delay in possession and file a case under RERA Act, 2016, the courts take prompt action to resolve the matter. When a case for delay in possession of flat is filed in consumer court like the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, the matter is usually resolved in less than 18 months.
Do we need a Legal Counsel to represent in RERA?
Under Section 56, the representation of the case may be made by a Legal Practitioners or the complainant himself. However a proper complaint needs to be prepared along with proper annexures, so we suggest that your claim should be represented legally in the right way.
Can the buyer file their claim under RERA even if the Developer/Promoter is not registered?
Yes, a claim can be filed against the developer who is not registered under RERA. Under Section 59 of the Act failure to do so is punishable with a penalty which may extend up to ten per cent. of the estimated cost of the project determined by the Authority. NOTE: If any promoter does not comply with the orders, decisions or directions issued under sub-section (1) of Section 59 or continues to violate the provisions of section 3 of the Act, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend up to three years or with fine which may extend up to a further ten per cent. of the estimated cost of the real estate project, or with both.
Can buyers who have filed cases in other Forums file cases in RERA as well?
Section 71 of the RERA says that any person whose complaint in respect of matters covered under sections 12, 14, 18 and section 19 is pending before any of the Consumer Dispute Forum, on or before the commencement of this Act, he may withdraw the complaint pending before it and file an application before the adjudicating officer under this Act.
What is the next platform after RERA for both buyer and builder along with the time frame?
RERA Appellant Tribunal is established under Section 43 of the Act which can be approached in case of any grievance from the order of Adjudicating Authority which can be approached under Section 44. An appeal from an order of Appellant Authority can be filed in High Court under Section 58 of RERA, 2016. A person can appeal in High Court if he is aggrieved by decision of the Appellate Tribunal however this isn't allowed in cases where the decision was reached after consent of the disputing parties. The person has to approach High Court within 60 days of receiving the decision.

Integration of two ways of being
Last week we looked at the meaning of the Kingdom. Laurence Freeman in his book 'Jesus, the Teacher Within' states: "The Kingdom is freedom from all inner and outer domination: 'the glorious liberty of the children of God'.
It is the power of God flowing freely in every human dimension both social and personal. It is the fulfilment of the individual both as a unique individual and as a part of the whole that is indivisible from all other individuals. It is the end of the tragedies of alienation and isolation, the two most powerful causes of suffering and of human inhumanity." We may well feel on reading this, that this is a state only saints can experience, not one accessible for you and me. And yet, as we will see, when we were very young we did still live in that state.
God has given us all we need for our existence on this earth, not only to survive but also to connect back to the Divine we came from. Our brain is a beautiful instrument to do this, to tune into different levels of consciousness, the various realities that surround us. My daughter Dr Shanida Nataraja in her book 'The Blissful Brain' explains that there are two halves to our brain and she describes their functions as follows: The left brain has a centre – the ego - that interprets the sense impressions, emotional and intellectual stimuli, coming from the outside world, and uses language, logic and analytical abilities to make sense of it. Its main objective is to protect us from anything that may interfere with our ability to survive in this world as a single individual. It will totally ignore anything that does not fit into this survival matrix. The right brain too has a centre – the Self - that sees the global picture, as it is the overarching consciousness that includes the ego. It sees the individual in the context of the totally interconnected whole, including all of humanity and creation - all of it embraced by the Divine. It too has senses, the interior senses of intuition and creative imagination. Because of its all-encompassing view, which includes the emotions, the right brain adds to the picture the ego paints empathy, compassion, care for the survival of others and creation - it is the source of our spiritual being and our connection to the Divine.
That we have the innate capacity to link back to our Source is proved by neuro-science brain wave research. It has shown that children under two years of age still live mainly in their right brain, as shown by the dominant presence of alpha waves; hence the empathy, the love, the compassion and the vivid creative imagination that characterizes a child. Therefore a very young child is still undivided, in touch with the whole, still connected to God, still lives in the Kingdom. In ordinary adult consciousness beta waves of the left brain activity dominate, as we all experience as the constant whirl of thoughts that occupy our minds. The switch over from right brain to the left-brain seeing of the world gradually happens between the ages of two and five; from then on society and education emphasize the left-brain way of being and the right brain view is not encouraged.
This connection, however, is never severed but just disconnected to various degrees. Yet we have the potential to switch it back on, as it is a natural divinely given part of our human nature. In fact it is something Jesus encourages us to do: 'Unless you turn round and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven."(Matthew 18,3)
Shanida also highlights the role meditation plays in this re-connection with our wider consciousness: meditation through its one-pointedness attention on the mantra switches us from a left-brain way of being to a right-brain way of being. For some of us the switch has become rather rusty over time, but for children the access remains easy; hence they take to meditation as ducks to water.
Of course we need to be able to look after our own survival as well as that of others. We need both sides of our brain; they may be different but they are definitely complementary. Their co-operation is essential to our well-being, our sense of harmony and balance. It adds the meaning to life, which is often sadly lacking when we live entirely from our left brain. Here too meditation helps: it encourages an increase in connectivity between both halves of the brain. In doing so it facilitates the ease of switching from one mode of being into the other. Just by repeating our word lovingly and faithfully we end "the tragedies of alienation and isolation" and allow our entry into the Kingdom.

National Meeting on Undergraduate Research Here this Weekby Howard W. Hewitt • June 20, 2005 Share:
Wabash's summer calendar stays busy this week with another national conference coming to campus. Members of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) come to Crawfordsville this week for their 27th annual business meeting.
"CUR is an organization that supports faculty in their efforts to include undergraduate students in their scholarly and creative work," said Scott Feller, a Wabash College Associate Professor of Chemistry. CUR has 3,000 members representing 870 institutions.
"CUR lobbies organizations such as the National Science Foundation to consider the needs of undergraduate institutions when developing programs, they organize workshops and meetings to discuss issues of interest to faculty, and they work especially hard at creating visibility for undergraduate research," Feller said.
Dean of the College Mauri Ditzler has been involved in CUR for several years. CUR works in faculty and institutional development.
Feller has seen the results of CUR's programs on the Wabash campus.
"The organization brings together people with a shared interest in quality undergraduate education and active scholarship in their field, people who eel that research should be a form of teaching. For example, the Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship and Creative Work was motivated by experiences we heard about from other schools at a CUR meeting back in 1999."
Wabash won the right to host this year's campus through a bidding process. The conference was award 18 months ago.
"I've always wanted to do something like this for the past several years, ever since our new buildings began coming on line (Hays, Goodrich, Trippet, Allen, MXI)," Feller said. "I always find I learn a lot about a college when I go to a conference there."
Hewitt is Wabash College's Director of New Media/Web Editor.

Arkansas Football: Which Receiver Will Rise to the Occasion?May 20, 2012
The offseason for the Arkansas Razorbacks has been filled with a never-ending barrage of bad news.
The latest incident involved the arrest of three players charged with residential burglary (via ESPN). The most notable player involved in this incident is standout wide receiver Marquel Wade. Wade is expected to play a significant role on the offense this season, but after the arrest he was suspended indefinitely by head coach John L. Smith.
The Razorbacks tied a NFL day draft record with three wide receivers selected in the same draft. Joe Adams (104th overall), Jarius Wright (118th overall) and Greg Childs (134th overall), were all selected in the first four rounds, leaving a big hole to fill at the wide receiver position. This is the main reason the Wade suspension is so troublesome and it is not the only offseason incident that has decimated the receiving corps.
Last week, Coach Smith announced via Fox Sports that wide receiver Kane Whitehurst was released from his scholarship. Whitehurst is just one of several Arkansas players to have a brush with the law in the offseason. Whitehurst was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and will no longer be part of the team.
Next it was 4-star recruit Quinta Funderburk leaving Arkansas after he was released from his scholarship. Funderburk has had homesickness issues since he arrived at Arkansas, and it is clear that he still has some growing up to do. The latest reports indicate that Funderburk will transfer to Syracuse and the Razorbacks will need someone else to stand up and fill the void left at the position with the mass exodus during the offseason.
The main target for quarterback Tyler Wilson will undoubtedly be Cobi Hamilton. Hamilton played in every game a year ago and will give Wilson a familiar target to go to in tough spots. Hamilton caught 32 passes for over 600 yards and six touchdowns and is labeled a preseason first-team All-SEC performer by Phil Steele's preseason college football preview.
Hamilton is up to the challenge, but he can't do it alone. Hamilton will attract double-teams by opposing defenses and will need someone else to help carry the workload. This is where tight end Chris Gragg can step in and make an impact.
Gragg is poised for a breakout season this year with the Razorbacks. He appeared in every game a year ago hauling in two touchdowns and amassing 171 yards. These numbers will only increase this year with the immediate openings. Gragg is listed as a fourth-team All-American by Steele and he will benefit by already being familiar with Wilson.
This is the year when Gragg becomes a main target and an end zone threat in this offense.
The Razorbacks run a wide-open, high-octane offense, and in order to execute the game plan properly, they need as much talent and depth as possible. This year, the wide receiver unit will be challenged and the Razorbacks will need someone to step up their game if they hope to have a successful season.

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday is an opportunity to learn from his strategic thinking and mastery of rhetoric.
Consider King's powerful words about the civil rights struggle, which echo today in the climate battle:
We are faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. The 'tide in the affairs of men' does not remain at the flood; it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: 'Too late.'
Note how King repeatedly uses key figures of speech — alliteration, metaphor — and extends the metaphor of another master of rhetoric, Shakespeare (Julius Caeser), all of which are classic oratorical strategies (see "How to be as persuasive as Lincoln, Part 1: Study the figures of speech and Shakespeare").
I think science has mostly told us what it can about the fiercely urgent need to act swiftly to avoid adding the bleached bones and jumbled residues of our civilization to the pile (see "A stunning year in climate science reveals that human civilization is on the precipice"). Our urgent need now is for much more persuasiveness (see Why scientists aren't more persuasive, Part 1 and Part 2: Why deniers out-debate "smart talkers"). I have a dream that progressives will some day have the winning words to match their vital ideas.
King's most famous speech illustrates the rhetorical principle of foreshadowing, as I discuss in my unpublished book on rhetoric, excerpted below:
As a theatrical device, the essence of foreshadowing can be found in Anton Chekhov's advice to a novice playwright: "If there is a gun hanging on the wall in the first act, it must fire in the last." Create anticipation and then fulfill the listener's desire.
Foreshadowing is related to the figure of speech ominatio (Latin for omen), which, one Renaissance rhetoric text explains is "when we do show & foretell what shall hereafter come to pass, which we gather by some likely sign, and in ill things we foretell it, to the intent that heed may be paid, and the danger of avoided; and in good things to stir up expectation and hope."
In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare has a soothsayer famously and futilely warn Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March"-a foreshadowing ominatio that Caesar famously and fatally ignores: "He is a dreamer," shrugs Caesar. "Let us leave him."
Bob Dylan's tragic "Like a Rolling Stone" heroine is similarly warned, and by many: "People'd call, say, 'Beware doll, you're bound to fall' "-which she also unwisely pays no heed to: "You thought they were all kiddin' you."
Dramatic foreshadowing has an even more important rhetorical counterpart. The golden rule of speechmaking is "Tell 'em what what you're going to tell 'em; tell 'em; then tell 'em what you told 'em." The first part of that triptych is the rhetorical foreshadowing of the main idea of your speech, the introduction of the dominant theme of your remarks.
I HAVE A DREAMI can think of no more remarkable combination of dramatic and rhetorical foreshadowing in a modern public address than the opening lines of Martin Luther King's keynote address at the August 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (video above and text here).
The speech is often presented without his introductory sentence, which is unfortunate since it is an essential element of his message. King began, "I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation." This opening line foreshadows that the intellectual focus of the speech will be "freedom," a word that, with its partner "free," King repeats twenty-four times in his 1500-word oration. As we will soon see, it also anticipates his optimistic message.
King uses the word "history" twice in this simple prefatory line, foreshadowing that he will be taking a historical perspective, which he does from the start.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
Echoing Lincoln's famous formulation, "fourscore and seven years ago," in the literal shadow of the Lincoln monument, King here combines the verbal with the visual to turn Lincoln's two great 1863 acts of communication-the Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg address-into a symbolic foreshadowing of his own remarks 100 years later. In doubling this historical connection, he underscores what will be his main theme: Emancipation has not yet been realized:
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
We hear again King's favorite rhetorical device in this speech, anaphora, in the repetition of "one hundred years later" to help him refine the central idea that "the Negro is still not free." King's speech makes the words "Emancipation Proclamation" cruelly ironic: The Negro was proclaimed free, but still is not.
The body of the speech lays out King's nonviolent approach to fulfilling the "quest for freedom" and restates again and again both his dream and his demand for freedom. He says that "in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream "¦ a dream deeply rooted in the American dream." An essential goal of the speech is to instill hope, optimism, and faith in the listeners that the dream of freedom will be achieved, to urge with a powerful metaphor that they "not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred." He describes his stirring dreams, which are themselves ominatio, foretelling a future without racism, a future of freedom for all. He builds to the climax using the phrase "Let freedom ring" a dozen times and ends with the final repetitions of the key word as he says we can "speed up that day when all of God's children "¦ will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!' "
Now we see what was powerfully foreshadowed in the opening line: "I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation." He is foreshadowing-prophesying-the success of this demonstration and the realization of his dreams. Through the figure of ominatio King did "show & foretell what shall hereafter come to pass "¦ in good things to stir up expectation and hope."
That King would be a master of rhetoric and foreshadowing is not unexpected since he was, after all, a Reverend, a preacher, a student of the Bible. Foreshadowing and ominatio are the foundation upon which the Bible's scaffolding of rhetoric was built-and the power of dreams to foretell the future is a Biblical truism. For Christians, the words in the Old Testament foreshadow the coming of the Messiah in the New Testament. The gospels are clearly written to echo the prophecies and promises and proverbs in the Old Testament. If you are a believer, that is because Jesus is the Messiah, the fulfillment of the words in the Old Testament. If you are not a believer, that is because the writers of the New Testament were trying to portray Jesus as the Messiah. Either way, by God's design or man's, the Old Testament foreshadows the New Testament again and again.
Jesus himself makes many prophecies that show and foretell what shall hereafter come to pass. He foretells events that happen very soon, such as when he tells Peter, "Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." He foretells events a long time off: "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." And he foretells events that have not yet come to pass-his return.
Foreshadowing and ominatio are key elements of poetic justice. Consider the story of Joseph. His brothers hated him because their father loved him the most, which the gift of the coat of many colors showed only too clearly. Joseph dreamt that he and his brothers were collecting stalks of grain, and when his own grain stalk stood up, those of his brothers bowed down before him. "Shalt thou indeed reign over us?" his brothers said. The text goes on, "And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words." Dreams are classic foreshadowing in the Bible as well as many other holy books.
One day, when Joseph's brothers saw him in the field, "they said one to another, 'Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit "¦ and we shall see what will become of his dreams.' " This is best labeled ironic foreshadowing, a favorite device also of Shakespeare's and other great writers. The final line is intended as sarcasm, that the dreams will be dashed in death, but it soon becomes dramatic irony.
Instead of killing him, his brothers sold him into slavery. Joseph ended up in the Egyptian prison, but using his power to interpret dreams, he not only won his freedom but soon became Pharaoh's right hand man, after predicting that Pharaoh's dream of seven lean cows eating seven fat cows meant there would be seven good harvests followed by seven years of famine, and thus, during the good years, Pharaoh would need to store up the grain. Every single thing Joseph said comes true. Then, during the famine, Jacob sent his sons to Egypt for grain so the family would not starve. Joseph thus gained power over his brothers, whom he put through various trials. But instead of seeking revenge, he saved his family from starvation.
This is poetic justice, that Joseph's dreams of having power over his brothers came true precisely because they abandoned him, making their words dramatic irony that foreshadowed the end of the story. This is irony of fate.
The enduring power and poignancy of this story can be found in the words on a plaque at the Lorraine Motel, in Memphis, Tennessee, the site of Martin Luther King's assassination (with a slightly different translation than the King James): "Behold the dreamer. Let us slay him, and we will see what will become of his dream."
King's dream did survive him, and, some might argue, in the election of Barack Obama, witnessed its apotheosis, though not its completion.
Whereas the civil rights movement was trying to undo a terrible multi-century-long moral wrong, the challenge for climate science activists (the future generations rights movement?) is that we are trying to prevent a terrible multi-century-long moral wrong. That mission will require even more eloquence, even more commitment.
I have a dream of clean air and clean water for my daughter and all the children of the world. I have a dream of clean energy jobs for millions of Americans and tens of millions of people around the globe. I have a dream we saved this garden of Eden for generations to come, saved it from the greed and myopia of the few.

There's a virus going around Twitter that causes people to post links to what looks like a CNBC article on a supposedly lucrative "work from home" site.
The fake article by "Jennifer Wilson," a pretty brunnette with a CNBC microphone, fooled us briefly, although the cnbc4newsworld.com/ URL was a red flag.
It begins reasonably by pointing out that most of those "work from home" sites are scams.
But when "Wilson" discovers a site that pays around $33 per hour (which, she warns, does not pay anything for the first week), we knew something was up. Sure enough every link in this article takes you to a dubious site called Home Business System.

Citation: Sommers, C.H., Scullen, B.J., Hwang, C. 2013. Gamma radiation inactivation of non-0157:H7 shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli in foods. Meeting Abstract. IAFP Annual Meeting, Charlotte, NC.,7/28 to 7/31/2013. P1(1).
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Non-O157:H7 serovars of shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli are emerging foodborne pathogens that have been associated with illness outbreaks and food product recalls on a global basis. Ionizing (gamma) radiation is a nonthermal food safety intervention technology that has been approved for use in over fifty countries to improve the safety and shelf-life of foods. In this study, the use of gamma radiation to inactivate pathogenic E. coli in foods was investigated. A cocktail of six non-O157:H7 serovars, O26: H11, O45: H2, O103: H2, O111: H11, O121: H19, and O145, or six O157:H7 serovars was inoculated (8 log CFU/g) into ground beef (GB), ground turkey (GT), catfish fillets (CF), or shrimp (SH). Food Samples (10g) were placed in sterile polynylon sample bags, sealed under vacuum and then frozen for 3 min at -59 deg C using a Cryo-Test Chamber by exposing the samples to controlled liquid nitrogen vapor. The samples were then irradiated (0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0 kGy) using a self-contained 137-Cs gamma radiation source (0.074 kGy/min at -20 deg C). Duplicate samples were processed per experiment at each radiation dose, and each experiment was conducted 3 times. Radiation D values (the radiation dose needed to inactivate 1 log of pathogen) for E. coli O157:H7 were 0.47, 0.46, 0.52, and 0.42 kGy in GB, GT, SH, and CF, respectively. The D values for the non-O157:H7 serovars were 0.40, 0.34, 0.41, and 0.38 kGy in GB, GT, SH, and CF, respectively. With the exception of catfish, the D values for the non-O157:H7 serovars were significantly lower (p<0.05) than those for O157:H7. These results indicate that the radiation doses used to inactivate E. coli O157:H7 in these foods can also be used for the non-O157:H7 serovars.

We need a website to launch our new 15 minute documentary, Farm To Fridge -- a graphic and gripping video about cruelty to animals in the meat, egg, and dairy industries.
The website will consist of essentially just one page, which will have the YouTube video embedded.
It is extremely important that the video be the focus of the webpage. The buttons, links, etc should not be too "busy" as to take away from the video.
IMPORTANT: WATCH THE VIDEO THAT WILL BE FEATURED ON THE SITE. Here is a link to see the actual video that will be embedded -- we just haven't gotten around to posting it to YouTube yet:
Do not pay attention to the background graphics or the "Farm to Fridge" text (we will not be marketing it as "Farm to Fridge), or anything else on the above webapge except for the video. Also use the attached YouTube image for your design instead of the video player in the above page since we will ultimately be hosting the video on YouTube.
I am posting a link to video merely to give you the feel of the video. It is serious, dark, gritty, etc. The website needn't be too gritty (we don't want the webpage to look like a death metal website!) but it shouldn't be overly "happy" or the design will not match the content of what people are watching.
More specifics of the requirements are included on the "Page Details" section.
The page needs to have the following items at a minimum. Items are listed in order of importance:
- The embedded YouTube video. I will include a still screen shot of an embedded YouTube video at the proper size. (640 by 385 pixels). Please use this screenshot of the YouTube video in your design.
- The phrase "MeatIsCruel.com" somewhere on the website for branding purposes.
- A textbox and subscribe button for signing up for our e-newsletter. Possible text includes "Sign up for e-newsletter". "Subscribe"
- A "Get Your Free Vegetarian Starter Kit" or "Order Your Free Vegan Starter Kit" button or link.
- A "Share on Facebook" button or text link. The exact text, icon, you use is up to you. I've included a few sample icons.
- A "Learn More" button or text link.
- An "Embed" button or text link, which when clicked will popup the YouTube embedding code.

Three Veteran Closers Searching for Bounce Back Seasons
Thursday November 8th, 2012
Sam Evans: When it comes to closers, 2012 was the year of the injured veteran reliever. A couple of teams probably would have had different postseason success had they been able to use their reliable ninth-inning man. From Mariano Rivera to Sergio Santos, the list of closers that missed the 2012 MLB season goes on and on. Here's an early glance at some of these pitchers hoping to rebound from their respective off years in the upcoming season.
Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees: Mariano Rivera is the best closer in the history of baseball and probably the best relief pitcher as well. Even as a forty-one year old in 2011, Rivera was forty-four for forty-nine in save opportunities. That was his ninth consecutive season with thirty or more saves. Unfortunately, Mariano Rivera missed almost all of the 2012 season due to a torn ACL he suffered while shagging fly balls.
Rivera makes up for a rather average fastball with an outstanding cutter. This is truly an "80" pitch on the 20-80 scouting scale. Very few times has baseball seen a pitcher who can dominate hitters due to only on pitch. Rivera's cutter will be his key to success in the 2013 season. Since he injured his knee not his arm, one would think that Rivera's cutter wouldn't lose much if anything during all this time off. However, it has to be extremely difficult to take all this time off and expect to have pitchers where they were before the injury.
The breaking news as of this past weekend is that Rivera should return to the Yankees in 2013. While Rafael Soriano did a fine job filling in for Rivera, the Yankees must be thrilled to have Rivera coming back. Soriano's status for next season is uncertain as of right now and the other Yankees probably have missed Rivera's clubhouse leadership. According to reports, Rivera will be ready for Spring Training. While it might take a little bit longer to get his 43-year-old body back into baseball shape, Rivera will be a key contributor on the 2013 Yankees squad.
Sergio Santos, Toronto Blue Jays: When the Toronto Blue Jays acquired Sergio Santos from Chicago last offseason, it was seen as smart move by the Toronto organization. Santos saved thirty games for the White Sox in 2011 and turned a lot of heads in baseball due to his nasty slider. The Blue Jays made it clear from day one that Santos was going to be their closer.
After pitching in just six games, Santos missed the rest of the year with a shoulder injury that wouldn't go away. As most baseball players realize, with injury comes opportunity. After Santos went down, Casey Janssen stepped into his role and ran with it. Janssen was successful in twenty-two out of twenty-five save opportunities. It is too early to tell- but even if Santos is healthy in spring, Janssen appears to be the early favorite to close ballgames next year in Toronto.
Ryan Madson, Free Agent: The Cincinnati Reds made headlines during the 2011-2012 offseason by signing Ryan Madson, he of fifty-two career saves, to a one-year $8.5 million contract. By signing Madson, the Reds not only showed that they weren't sold on Aroldis Chapman being the closer some thought he could, they showed that the front office was committed to winning in 2012.
Unlike most closers, Ryan Madson's best pitch is his changeup. It is very unusual that closers frequently throw an effective changeup, but Madson proved that it is possible to throw a changeup and be one of the best closers in the game. In 2011 with the Philadelphia Phillies, Madson saved thirty-two games in just thirty-four opportunities.
The bad news for the Red and Madson was that Madson needed Tommy John Surgery after suffering an elbow injury in Spring Training. The good news for the Reds was that Aroldis Chapman had a tremendous year as their closer. A year that I believe nobody thinks that Madson is capable of. Thanks to Aroldis Chapman, Reds fans weren't whining about this contract during the dog days of summer.
Madson is a free agent this offseason and I'm confident that he is not going to get the long-term contract he should be hoping for. Teams are getting less and less open to the idea of getting closers long-term deals and Madson's injury definitely won't help. Madson needs to get healthy and find a team where can pitch in the late innings of games.
These three players have all proven they can be some of the top closers in the game, but it is highly unlikely that all three of these guys can return to their previous form in 2013. Missing all or almost all of a season has shown in the past that it can dramatically change the course of a pitchers career. Best of luck to Rivera, Santos, and Madson as they prepare to combat career-altering seasons.

Chemistry department screens high-profile documentary on energy
Loyola press release - October 1, 2012
The Department of Chemistry at Loyola University New Orleans presents a screening of "Switch," a documentary that addresses today's most controversial energy questions, on Thursday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in Nunemaker Auditorium in Monroe Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Harry Lynch, "Switch" follows energy visionary Scott Tinker, Ph.D., as he travels the world and explores leading energy sites from coal to solar and oil to biofuels, most of them highly restricted and never before seen on film. Tinker seeks the truth from the international leaders of government, industry and academia, and then cuts through the confusion to discover a path to our energy future that is as surprising as it is practical.
"Switch" is screening as part of the Geological Society of America's Switch Energy Awareness and Efficiency Program, which launched at 40 pilot universities across the country this fall with a student ambassador program, efficiency drive and screening of the film. "Switch" and the GSA program are part of the Switch Energy Project, a multi-pronged effort to build a global understanding of energy.
Tinker has been exploring energy for 30 years. His passion is bringing government, industry and academia together to solve some of the world's toughest challenges. Toward that end he has given nearly 500 invited and keynote lectures in nearly 50 countries. He is the director of the Bureau of Economic Geology and the state geologist of Texas. He is the Allday Endowed Chair and the acting associate dean of research in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Before joining the bureau, he worked for Marathon Oil's research division.
Lynch is a documentary director, producer, writer, cinematographer and soundtrack producer whose films include "Unconventional," "Recapturing Cuba," "Ride Around the World" and "Making the Modern." He is the co-founder of Trinity Films and the founder of Arcos Films, a multimedia production company dedicated to building awareness and understanding of the most important issues of our time.
The screening is co-sponsored by Loyola's University Honors Program.

Websockets everywhere with Socket.IO
If you've stayed on top of the advances in the realtime web for the past few years, you've probably heard of different techniques aimed to reduce the latency (ie: speed) of the message exchange between a client and a server. If you're developing a multiplayer game, a chat application, or showing frequent updates of data like tweets or stock price changes, you probably want to reverse the traditional model of communication. So instead of requesting (polling) data on a specific interval of time, you want the server to send (push) data to the client.
Nowadays, terms like
long polling,
comet and
WebSocket come to mind when it comes to developing a realtime web application or widget. But it's not always obvious how they work, their advantages, disadvantages and limitations, or even what percentage of the web browser market share supports them.
Socket.IO is a lightweight API that runs on the browser and looks like this:
var socket = new io.Socket();
socket.on('connect', function(){
// connected!
socket.on('message', function(msg){
// message coming
socket.send('Hello world!');
If you're familiar with
WebSocket, the protocol that aims to simplify bi-directional communication over HTTP once and for all, you'll notice that it looks very similar. The difference is that Socket.IO, under the hood, will enable realtime communication for IE6-9, Firefox 3-4, Safari 3-5, Chrome 3-6, iOS (iPhone and iPad), and other commonplace user agents.
Revisiting the history of the realtime web
In this day and age, odds are that if you're a web developer you've used AJAX once or twice. Very much like what socket.io does for realtime, libraries like
jQuery have provided abstractions that aim to remove the incompatibilities of what browsers offer for asynchronous HTTP requests (IE uses a proprietary ActiveX object, and mostly everyone else uses the standard XMLHttpRequest).
Now, if you wanted to make a realtime widget that retrieves data from the server, your first idea might look somewhat like this:
$.ajax({ url: '/my/page', success: function(data){
// do something with the data
} });
}, 5000);
So, every 5 seconds we
poll the server for new updates. In my book, that's almost as efficient as the transmission of IP Datagrams on pigeons.
You might also want to try to reduce the interval, and say, put it at 100 milliseconds.
// now this should be fast!
$.ajax({ url: '/my/page', success: function(data){} });
}, 100);
However, we're ignoring two major downsides now:
- The HTTP latency. Chances are that a complete roundtrip of the packets on a high speed internet connection will be around 200ms. But this is not always the case! If it were 500 or higher, then things might slow down. And they might slow down unnecessarily, because:
- The server might not have any new data for us. In this case, we'd be producing a lot of network traffic, and request/response cycles overhead, for no purpose.
Introducing long polling
Long polling addresses the weakness of traditional polling methods by asking the server for new information on a certain interval, but keeping the connection open if the server has nothing new for us. This technique dramatically decreases latency and network traffic, which means it efficiently disguises itself as a server-push technique.
function load(){
$.ajax({ url: '/my/page', success: function(){
// do something with the data
}, complete: load, timeout: 20000 });
How about keeping the connection open?
If you come from a more traditional programming environment (eg: Desktop software), you're probably wondering why we don't keep the connection open.
This is possible with at least two fairly well known techniques:
- XMLHttpRequest and the
multipart/x-mixed-replaceMIME type (which is enabled by setting
multipart = truein the XMLHTTPRequest instance)
Although it was introduced by Netscape in 1995 (yes, when some of us were still unable to read properly), the only commonplace user agent to support it is Firefox.
- An
<iframe>populated with a response with the headers
Transfer-encoding: chunkedand
Connection: keep-alive.
The technique consists of writing
<script> tags that call a function on the parent page as information becomes available to push to the client.
The disadvantage of this method is that it'll trigger a never-ending spinner or progress bar in most user agents, severely hurting the user experience. In Internet Explorer, this can be worked around by inserting the
<iframe> in a hidden document (via the obscure ActiveX object
htmlfile). This technique was exposed to me for the first time thanks to the Gmail Chat team. This gem was analyzed/discovered back in the day by Alex Russell
By now, it's obvious that some lower-latency techniques are available to certain user agents, under certain conditions. The fundamental problem is that now the server has to treat HTTP requests differently, altering
- The headers sent with the response (Content-Type, Connection, etc).
- The duration (a timeout is required for long-polling, but not all the others)
- The "framing" of the messages. For multipart, each message has to be accompanied by a delimiter (boundary).
- Random quirks (IE requires a certain number of dummy bytes at the beginning of the document streamed through the iframe).
All these techniques try to minimize the latency of the incoming data from the server, but normal XMLHTTPRequest have to be used to send data from the client. Which brings us to the most optimal solution available today.
One transport to rule them all
Meet WebSocket, an effort "to provide a mechanism for browser-based applications that need two-way communication with servers that does not rely on opening multiple HTTP connections", as the author Ian Hickson puts it.
WebSocket takes advantage of the Upgrade header of the HTTP/1.1 specification, which means it's essentially a new protocol for communication:
The Upgrade general-header allows the client to specify what additional communication protocols it supports and would like to use if the server finds it appropriate to switch protocols.
Examples: HTTP/2.0, SHTTP/1.3, IRC/6.9, RTA/x11
WebSocket won't close the connection after sending a message or receiving one. It's essentially "TCP for the web", but with a security model built in the protocol, a fairly rare framing system and UTF-8 encoding (no binary).
If we choose to implement it, some of the problems stated above still hold true:
- The server has to give special treatment to the WebSocket requests, performing a handshake unique to the WebSocket protocol, and implement its new security system.
- WebSocket is only supported by the most cutting-edge browser engines on the Desktop, a minority of the web population.
Node.JS koolaid to the rescue
Node.JS presents developers with a truly unique and exciting possibility: rolling your own scalable non-blocking HTTP server in one of the most popular dynamic scripting languages of all time, with a simplistic API.
Writing a (dummy) long-polling server is as easy as:
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.end('Hello World\n');
}, 20000);
Even with this simple API, consolidating your app logic in a way that works across all transports can be difficult.
Socket.IO-node is here to help: Here's a chat server in 10 lines of code that also announces (broadcasts) who connects to the server:
var buffer = [];
io.on('connection', function(client){
client.send({ buffer: buffer });
client.broadcast({ announcement: client.sessionId + ' connected' });
client.on('message', function(message){
var msg = { message: [client.sessionId, message] };
if (buffer.length > 15) buffer.shift();
client.on('disconnect', function(){
client.broadcast({ announcement: client.sessionId + ' disconnected' });
And the best part is, under the hood, it'll handle your WebSocket, WebSocket over Flash, long polling, multipart and iframe connections. Sweet, isn't it?

A grand cup made from solid Welsh gold
Welsh Gold
Welsh gold is very rare. The wedding rings of today's British Royal family are made from it. The largest object made of Welsh gold is a copy of a cup Henry VIII gave to one of his wives.
The richest family in Wales
The cup was made in 1867 for the Williams-Wynn family of Ruabon in Denbighshire, using gold from their own mine. At the time, they were the richest family in Wales. They were well known for their wealth, which they spent on grand houses, expensive paintings and silver, much of which is now at the Museum.
The Welsh Gold Rush
While many people know of the California gold rush of 1848, few know that, a few years later, there was a Welsh gold rush. In 1862 gold was discovered in Merioneth and, soon after, Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (1820-1885) opened the Castell Carn Dochan mine on his land. The mine produced most of its gold between 1865 and 1873.
Payment in Gold
Sir Watkin was paid a large royalty for the gold mined, and he was paid with his own gold ingots. However, he was rich enough not to need this income, and could treat this gold as a novelty.
A Cup of Solid Gold
Some of this gold was used to make a magnificent cup. The cup is nearly 40cm high and made of 22-carat gold. It is inscribed "MADE OF GOLD THE ROYALTY FROM CASTELL CARNDOCHAN MINE 1867" and hallmarked by R & S Garrard and Co., Haymarket, London. It is ornate, in the style popular in the early Renaissance period. It stands on a circular foot, and the stem is flanked by flower heads, dolphins and bells. The cup is inscribed with several family mottoes: eryr eryrod eryri ('the eagle of the eagles of Snowdonia'), y cadarn ar cyfrwys ('the strong and the sly'), bwch yn uchaf ('the ram is on top') and cwrw da yw allwedd calon ('good beer is the key to the heart'). The tall lid has the Williams-Wynn arms, including a young ram on top, supported by a pair of cherubs.
A Royal Design for Henry VIII
The makers of the cup based the design on a drawing in the British Museum of a cup King Henry VIII gave Queen Jane Seymour in 1536. This cup was set with diamonds and pearls. Jane Seymour's cup was melted down on the orders of King Charles I in 1629, when he was desperate for cash.

Well, at least of the dairy kind:
New Environmental Protection Agency regulations treat spilled milk like oil, requiring farmers to build extra storage tanks and form emergency spill plans….
The EPA regulations state that "milk typically contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil. Thus, containers storing milk are subject to the Oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Program rule when they meet the applicability criteria."
Peter Daining of the Holland Sentinel (Holland, MI) has a report, including predictions that smaller dairy producers could be driven out of business by the cost of the containment rules.
