Other waterbirds recorded in Heysham harbour:
Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus 8
After a swift check in at Heysham and transfer to the Clipper Panorama for breakfast, we were welcomed onto the bridge by the Captain Paul Matthews just before departure. Conditions were clear but cloudy with a steady Easterly wind giving a choppy sea, but our hopes of some exciting seabirds and cetaceans were nevertheless high.
An early sighting of Harbour Porpoise in the Lune Deep was
followed by two more encounters in the first two hours including a
group of three animals. However, we had to wait until our
approach to Carlingford Lough before we had a final porpoise
A northward travelling Swift off the Fylde coast was the only sign of migration. Numbers of the usual sea birds like Gannet, Razorbill and Guillemot were relatively low throughout the survey, although a large raft of sitting Kittiwake and Manx Shearwater near the Isle of Man boosted our total count. The highlights were a Red-throated Diver near the Lune Deep and a Great Northern Diver near the Carlingford Lough lighthouse.
It was very pleasing to see a good number of Black Guillemot in
their smart summer plumage in the entrance to the Lough, with many
sitting on the channel marker buoys
After docking, we decided to look at bird life on the Lough from Warrenpoint, and were delighted to have some very close views of more Black Guillemot by the sea wall where nest boxes have been provided for their use. They seemed completely unconcerned by the passing traffic as they sat on the sea wall with cars zooming by a few feet away!
The following morning we boarded the Pennant in bright sunshine, but with a strong North-easterly wind we were prepared for rough seas once we left the shelter of Carlingford Lough. Here, the sea was pretty rough with a large swell and these conditions stayed with us for the whole crossing, becoming even stronger as we approached Heysham. However, there is something mesmerising about an exciting sea, and we really enjoyed the continual movement of the waves and spray.
Cetacean spotting was clearly going to be challenging and we saw no porpoises on the return trip. However, our patience was rewarded near the Isle of Man with a fabulous sighting of a Short-beaked Common Dolphin which came leaping in to briefly bow ride in front of the ship.
Bird activity was clearly badly affected by the strong wind, and we saw even fewer numbers than on the outward trip. We were treated to some close views of Gannet as they sailed past the bridge windows and were able to practise our skills at ageing the immature birds we saw.
Our thanks as always to the Captains and crews of both the Panorama and Pennant for making us so welcome.

YANGON (Xinhua) – Myanmar's Union Parliament is discussing to seek approval for loans of 30 million euros from Italy and $40.5 million from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for electrification and agricultural projects. The Italian interest-free soft loan is for provision of electricity in the form of solar home system and mini-grid system to the hardly accessible Chin state and its neighboring areas while ADB loan will be used in 14 townships in Central Myanmar for the production of agricultural products that meet the ISO 17025 standards, which will help penetrate the foreign markets.

Keep in mind; the purpose of a fast is to draw closer to The Lord. You are setting aside a specific time to fill up with more of God. It's not a competition; don't overthink it. Jesus lived as one of us for over thirty years, and fasted often. He understands what you're going through. Matthew tells about one of Jesus' fasts in Matthew 4:2, "After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry" (NIV). This happened just before Jesus was tempted in the desert and then started His full-time ministry. Don't underestimate the power of taking a step closer to God.
When it comes to intermittent fasting, there's no one-size-fits-all. Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting fits all your eating into a 6-hour window, leaving you with an 18-hour-fast each day. This is often called "18:6" fasting. You can also try variations such as the one-meal-a-day method, or fasting every other day. The key is to experiment and listen to your body to see what works best for you. If intermittent fasting causes fatigue or other negative symptoms, try fasting just once or twice a week, and build up from there.
The Vajrayana practice of Nyung Ne is based on the tantric practice of Chenrezig.[29][30][31] It is said that Chenrezig appeared to an Indian nun[29] who had contracted leprosy and was on the verge of death. Chenrezig taught her the method of Nyung Ne[29] in which one keeps the eight precepts on the first day, then refrains from both food and water on the second. Although seemingly against the Middle Way, this practice is to experience the negative karma of both oneself and all other sentient beings and, as such is seen to be of benefit. Other self-inflicted harm is discouraged.[32][33]

There are MUCH bigger fish to fry with regards to getting healthy than a few calories here and there during a fast. 80% adherence that you stick with for a year is better than 100% adherence that you abandon after a month because it was too restrictive. If you're trying to get to a minimum bodyfat percentage, you'll need to be more strict – until then, however, do what allows you to stay compliant!
I've been doing this fast with Jentezen Franklin for many years. I have seen miracles done, he healed me from addiction to alcohol! I know these fasts are hard, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak! I've fallen on past fasts, but asked God to forgive me, and went on. It's a physical struggle, but oh so worth it in the end! Please don't give up. 21 days is nothing compared to what's waiting for you at the end, and during the year! I've done the water only fasts, as well as the Daniel fast, which I'm doing now, that in itself is a struggle for me, as I don't care for fruits and vegetables much. God is his mercy and Grace see's each of our hearts, and knows we yearn for his closeness, but also he knows we are weak. Please keep praying and seeking, you won't be disappointed.
Even though you are skipping breakfast, it's still important to stay hydrated. Make sure to still drink enough water. You can also have herbal tea. The catechins in tea have been shown to enhance the benefits of fasting by helping to further decrease the hunger hormone ghrelin, so you can make it until lunch and not feel deprived. Since you've increased your fasting period an extra four hours, you need to make sure your first meal (at noon) has enough healthy fats. The burger in the 8-to-6 window plan will work well, and you can add more fats in with your dressing or top with an avocado!
When you consistently eat every few hours and never miss a meal, your body becomes very inefficient at burning fat as a fuel, and this is where the trouble starts. It's important to recognize that, with few exceptions, you cannot burn body fat if you have other fuel available, and if you're supplying your body with carbohydrates every few hours, your body has no need to dive into your fat stores. When you apply intermittent fasting you not only avoid this but also will typically decrease your food costs and increase your health.
So what accounts for this heightened mental state? It seems fasting triggers a dramatic switch in the body's metabolism, according to a paper Mattson and colleagues published in February in the experimental biology journal FASEB. In humans, fasting for 12 hours or more drops the levels of glycogen, a form of cellular glucose. Like changing to a backup gas tank, the body switches from glucose to fatty acids, a more efficient fuel. The switch generates the production of ketones, which are energy molecules that are made in the liver. "When the fats are mobilized and used to produce ketones, we think that is a key factor in accruing the health benefits," says Mattson.
The main benefit of intermittent fasting is weight loss—fat loss, specifically. "Insulin increases when you eat, and when insulin is high, you cannot burn fat. When you fast, insulin falls, which allows your body to access its stores of food (i.e., body fat) for energy," explains Jason Fung, M.D., a Toronto-based nephrologist and author of The Complete Guide to Fasting.

"…a progression should be observed in your fasting, especially if this discipline is new to you and you are unfamiliar with its physical effects. Don't start out with a weeklong water fast! Begin by skipping one meal each day for two to three days and setting aside the money it would have cost to give to the poor. Spend the time praying that you would have used for eating."
As researchers study the different fasting mechanisms to try to determine the ideal protocol for a variety of outcomes in a variety of populations, however, the general public must proceed by trial and error. That leaves dietitians such as myself concerned that the hype around fasting could encourage people to follow harmful plans that severely restrict nutrients, cause stress or unsuccessfully treat serious conditions.
This depends. If you're on a time-restricted fast and you're in no-eating hours, it's best to stick to no- or low-calorie drinks like water, coffee (with no milk) and tea. If you're on an alternate day diet or something similar, even during low calorie hours, you can technically drink whatever you'd like — but remember, this will count against your calories. Would you rather spend 100 calories on an apple or a glass of milk? It's your call.
Dear Adrian, I'm back after several months off on again off again tries. I actually did lose a total of 12 lbs. I started out at around 152 lbs and within a month & a half I was dropped down to 140! I was so happy... But unfortunately I over did an exercise routine of yours so badly I was unable to walk without pain shooting up my legs. ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT OF YOURS! I am the idiot for getting so excited about losing weight I got the attitude of " the more , the better" I advice to anyone don't ever over do anything cause it will have repercussions!! Long story short - after the awful pain I brought on my body I gave up on everything! It took a while to gain the lbs back but unfortunately it is now the end of September 2018 & I'm not only back to 150lbs but more like 158!!! I have started back with Adrian's trusted program & I pray I don't give up or ever, ever OVER DO IT!! I will keep you posted!
What about us? There's an element of good in foods and substances that are ultimately bad for us, even if it's just the good appearance, smell, or taste. Have you ever noticed how beautiful all the colored and distinctly shaped bottles look in a bar? Those bottles always seem lighted in just the right way to make them look very special, very festive, very appealing. Many foods are pleasant to the eyes. Many drinks are presented in ways that make them appear pleasing. We buy into the lie that what is pleasing is also nutritious and beneficial.
While I am working in my office, I use my head phones to listen to worship songs or preachings from men of God that the Holy Spirit will lead me to listen too. That helps me to concentrate on my work and prevent me from having distractive conversation with my co-workers. To keep my self in God's presence I do the same while I am driving, listening to worship songs and teachings. I decided to not watching movies which I like to do and read my bible or books to remain encouraged.

Embarking on an intermittent fasting diet can feel daunting. After all, depriving yourself of food willingly doesn't sound like a barrel of fun. An easier way to get started is with the Bulletproof Diet, a 16:8 style fast, where you eat nothing after dinner until lunchtime the next day. Yes, you skip a normal breakfast, but instead of running on empty, you drink a Bulletproof Coffee instead. The healthy fats from the grass-fed butter and Brain Octane Oil, coupled with the kick of caffeine, give you energy and keep you full without switching on your digestion. Because there are no sugars, carbs, or protein, you remain in the fasting state but you're able to power through your morning and get stuff done. Learn more here on how to boost your intermittent fasting results.

God had given Adam and Eve authority over all things that He had created-every bird, fish, beast of the field, and over "every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat" (Gen. 1:29). God did not prohibit Adam and Eve from interacting with any part of God's creation when He commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it-except for this one tree and its fruit. They were not to eat of a particular tree,what God described to them as the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
That's what happened to me. I was in ketosis for a year, lost 125lbs, but then I started eating again and poof, back came 90 of the 125 pounds 🙁 I'm finding it more difficult to get back into the swing of eating under 20 carbs a day. I find myself starving, or carb starved as it's called, and it's proving to be difficult, even with the meal replacement drinks. I'm going to try this fasting and see if that will help me get back to skinny, but be able to keep it off.
Intermittent fasting is easy to follow in that it does not limit or restrict food, allows one to eat without tightly tracking calories, and will not place a burden on your social life (i.e. not being able to go out to dinner and order something on the menu). It also can make life much easier as there is less time spent cooking, eating, and cleaning up.
Maintaining certain time frames for eating can make fasting easier. One type of fasting is known as a 12-hour fast. Here's how it works: Once you stop eating at night, you wait 12 hours until you eat again. For example, if you finish dinner at 9 p.m., you should not start eating breakfast until 9 a.m. This fasting method is great for people who want to try fasting but have fluctuating schedules and need the flexibility.
Be aware it may be easier to stick to than other types of fasting diets, but the weight loss will be smaller. Other options include alternate day fasting, which calls for eating 500 calories or so one day, then eating whatever you'd like the next; and the 5:2 Plan, which involves eating normally five days a week, then consuming fewer than 600 calories two non-consecutive days a week.
What's more, 25 percent of people who were assigned to the fasting group in the first part of this study dropped out, compared to 10 percent of those in the regular diet group. That suggests that fasting is hard and maybe not for everyone — even when you're part of a study. So someone like John Kane, who lost a lot of weight through fasting and loves it, may be in the minority.
But followers beware, says nutrition researcher Michelle Harvie. Dieters going keto tend to lose weight, but the diets are low in fiber and high in saturated fat, which is a risk for cardiovascular disease. "And there is increasing evidence that its effect on the gut microbiome is pretty adverse," says Harvie. "The gut microbiome is a poorly understood but potentially important part of our metabolic health. And if you mess that up, you're in trouble."
In addition to our attitudes towards God and our stance before man, our motives must also be correct. We should fast in order to further the building up of God's kingdom by seeking to minister to others. The prophet Isaiah received from the Lord the acceptable motives for our fasts: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter -- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" (Isaiah 58:6-7).
Fasting is always practiced prior to surgery or other procedures that require general anesthesia because of the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents after induction of anesthesia (i.e., vomiting and inhaling the vomit, causing life-threatening aspiration pneumonia).[1][2][3] Additionally, certain medical tests, such as cholesterol testing (lipid panel) or certain blood glucose measurements require fasting for several hours so that a baseline can be established. In the case of a lipid panel, failure to fast for a full 12 hours (including vitamins) will guarantee an elevated triglyceride measurement.[4]

It is my aim to provide an environment that is warm, safe and nurturing for every child and family. I believe each child is a unique individual, who develops at their own pace, and that partnership with families is very important as they are their first and foremost caregivers.
It is my goal to:
- Always act in the children's best interest through, positive interact and providing a stimulating, safe and hygienic environment.
- Collaborate with families to include cultural beliefs and backgrounds.
- Contribute to and/or assist with developing, implementing and evaluating a developmentally appropriate program.

As I feared, after 2 multi-player games and having watched a multi-player Viking vs Saxon Lion Rampant game, the rules weren't as bad as they appeared in my solo games. I'm not tempted to adopt them but I'd be willing to play if the occasion presented itself.
Right! 1/72nd fantasy interlude over, time to brush the dust off some 25mm's.

Margaret Cooling, well known for her writing, speaking and training, particularly in the area of RE, encourages us to adapt RE to make teaching and learning more compatible with the way the brain works.
1. Think context as well as content
Where were you when you heard the news that Princess Diana had died? Can you remember the room you were in when the news of September 11th broke? Many of us can recall the setting of dramatic events. The brain is designed to learn well in context; that is why the police use crime reconstructions to jog people's memories.
The context in which we learn matters. We may not be able to create those real-life contexts in RE but we can create exciting learning contexts by using active learning methods. We can also use the brain's power of imagination. Story creates an imaginary context. Video and TV all deal with ideas and issues within contexts rather than abstractly and they can all be used in RE as long as they are not used passively.
In RE, teachers can use story as a context for communicating information. When teaching, take time to create contexts by describing scenes, situations and people. Information can be communicated 'in context' using a number of techniques.
For example:
2. Use the senses
We have five senses but teaching sometimes uses only hearing. However, if a message comes through more than one sense, e.g., sound and sight, it is more likely to be remembered. This is another way of strengthening the pathways in the brain.
Sensory stimulation (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell) can aid learning, but always bear in mind allergy and asthma problems when using taste and smell. RE is ideally placed for sensory learning. Our subject matter can use all the senses:
The classroom environment matters in RE, as it affects our senses. Are there interesting RE displays? Is music used to create an atmosphere at the beginning of a session?
Other ways to use the senses in RE:

In yet another superb, originally conceived offering, noted military historian, Eric Hammel brings us first-person accounts from thirty-nine of the American fighter aces who blasted their way across the skies of the Pacific and East Asia fromMoreIn yet another superb, originally conceived offering, noted military historian, Eric Hammel brings us first-person accounts from thirty-nine of the American fighter aces who blasted their way across the skies of the Pacific and East Asia from December 7, 1941, until the final air battles over Japan itself in August 1945.Coupled with a clear view of Americas far-flung air war against Japan, Hammels detailed interviews bring out the most thrilling in-the-cockpit experiences of the air combat that the Pacific Wars best Army, Navy, and Marine pilots have chosen to tell.Meet Frank Holmes, who defied death in an outmoded P-36 while still clad in a seersucker suit he had worn to mass earlier that morning.
Fly with Scott McCuskey as, single-handed at Midway, he takes out two waves of Japanese dive-bombers that are attacking his precious aircraft carrier. Sweat out the last precious drops of fuel in a defective Marine Wildcat fighter as Medal of Honor recipient Jeff DeBlanc bores ahead to his target to keep the faith with the bomber crews he has been assigned to protect. Experience the ecstasy of total victory as Ralph Hanks becomes the Navys first Hellcat ace-in-a-day when he destroys five Japanese fighters over the Gilbert Islands in a single mission.A superb interviewer, Hammel has collected some of the very best air-combat tales from Americas war with Japan.
Combined with the four other volumes in The American Aces Speak series, this work will stand as an enduring testament to the brave men who fought the first and last air war in which high-performance, piston-engine fighters held sway. These are stories of bravery and survival, of men and machines pitted against one another inheart-stopping, unforgiving high-speed aerial combat.The American Aces Speak is a highly-charged emotional rendering of what men felt in the now-dim days of personal combat at the very edge of our living national history.
There was never a war like it, and there never will be again. These are Americas eagles, and the stories are their own, in their very own words.Eric Hammel is the author of more than thirty other books, including Pacifica Military Historys Ambush Valley, The Root: The Marines in Beirut, Six Days in June, Guadalcanal: Starvation Island, and Guadalcanal: Decision At Sea..

HDPE Coaming (3 of 4)
Attaching Coaming to Frame – The coaming lip is attached to the coaming with 1/2″ or 5/8″ wood screws. The base plate stays independent of the other two sections. Next, the 3 coaming rings are attached through the deckridge and cross sections 4 and 5 with 2ea. X 10 / 24 machine screws/nuts to create a secure bond to the frame. The stiff coaming, combined with it's secure attachment adds rigidity to the frame. Two additional machine screws are used to secure the sides of the 3 coaming rings together. A wood coaming, though similar, can be glued between the lip and coaming.

Product Description: Start your day with a delicious soft and chewy gluten free granola bar or dip in yogurt, keep one in your bag, car or office for snacking emergencies!
It all started in the small bakery of our natural foods market on Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut. I listened to my celiac customers complain about the taste of many of the gluten free options available to them.

Now our premium gluten free granola products are made in a state of the art manufacturing facility just a few miles from the original bakery. Our plant maintains the small bakery quality by baking in small batches. We hope you love our products as much as we love creating them for you. Thank you! - Michael Smulders, Founder

The global capital markets delivered strong results in 2017. Global stocks registered their second best year in the ten calendar years since 2008. Commodities notched their fourth best year and real estate its fifth best year over the same period. While US and world bonds have had multiple solid years over the decade, positive results in 2017 were a noteworthy triumph as interest rate headwinds continued to build.

Well today, there are no classes in UST, that is after heavy rainfall once again flooded the campus causing more than 1500 students to be stranded on campus for the night. They were well taken care off by the university as they were given food and a place to rest for the night. The floods have now subsided and the people who got stranded on campus have returned to their homes, which is very good news. I may say like it, but this has given me a chance to write something here again.
Anyways, personally I face a challenge of my own. Knowing that I have not been up to my standards and my own element. I must work even harder to bounce back on my studies, because right now I'm living through adversity and pressure. Which is something I have proven time and time again to bounce back from over my whole life.
It is true that the challenge is on and I will make the best out of these challenges I face right now. There are a lot of tests and challenges to come. I look with my head up high and ready to bring it all on the line.
Once again, I would like to invite everyone to our event:

I have decided to accept that I am on Pornhub.
I've spent so much time debating and questioning and arguing about my presence on a pornography platform. Searching for an alternative, hoping for an elegant exit. Facing the fact that explicitness has no other place to live on the internet. Feeling slapped in the face when I load one of my videos and see myself next to 'Try Not To Cum' games and 'Milf Who Want To Fuck' ads. Wondering if I am being reckless. Enjoying getting new subscribers everyday, yet not changing the setting that sends every email announcing that to the Junk folder. Not knowing how to answer the comments I'm getting there, all positive but definitely of a different nature than the ones on Vimeo. Basically, being completely and utterly ambivalent about the whole thing.
But the truth is, this is what's real right now. The split is what's real. There's no other place for me to have this conversation, and trying to build a safer space equivalent would require resources I do not have. So, if I am to move forward, I need to start with where I am. And right now, I am on Pornhub.
To tell the whole story, I have to talk about an essay I encountered this summer that has radically changed my mind on the question of pornography. "Some Harms to Women of Restrictions on Sexually Related Expression", by Leonore Tiefer, from her book Sex is Not a Natural Act (Westview Press, 2004). Tiefer is a sexuality expert known for speaking against the medicalization of sexual dysfunction. Her book is a collection of essays challenging the consensus reality of sexuality. Essentially, she posits that sex is a potential and a construct, something more human than just a biological drive. She's not always easy to read but she certainly takes sex positivity to the next level by removing the mandatory aspects from it. In this particular essay, she makes several amazing points, such as the fact that pornography is best understood not through literal interpretation, that the morality of masturbation is a huge subtext behind the argument against porn, and that repressing sexually explicit material actually robs women of the opportunity to make up their own minds about it. Her perspective resonates so much with me, I'm so grateful to have found someone who dares step out of the classical debate about porn. Having highlighted every second sentence, I wish I could post the entire essay here, but I'm a big believer in copyright, so instead I'm going to encourage anyone interested to go find her book. I will permit myself one quote though, as I feel it speaks to me directly: "Shame and ignorance make cowards of us all, but now is no time for cowardice about women's sexual practices and imaginings. Censorship harms women because women need sexual empowerment, not sexual protection. Antiporn campaigns say that porn gives men power. But in fact, men already have power. Explicit sexual materials and performances can contribute to women's sexual power. People who do not like certain types of pornography can avoid them. Or better yet, they can create something completely new." Like music to my heart…
That being said, I'm not sure I'm ready to call what I do porn per say. I still claim the subtle but fundamental distinction between material that aims to depict arousal versus material that aims to create arousal. This to me is the essential difference between my art and porn, the difference between showing you what I see and showing you what you want to see. Well, come to think of it, it's not like this dichotomy doesn't exist in every other art and entertainment form.
Also, and this is an important point, I don't mean to say that it's all peachy now, that I don't think the pornography industry has any issues. I'm still very much aware and afraid of its potential for exploitation. But, looking at the news these days, it should be clear to everyone that you don't need to be in porn to be subjected to predatory behaviors. The power imbalances that enable abuse need to be addressed everywhere.
My art comes from a place within me that is conscious of the shame my sexuality is entangled with and yet still believes in the transformational beauty of sexual expression. I have had to keep myself safe through many dark nights of fear, yet hope rises in the morning light, asking to be embraced. Sunrise Orgasm is from almost exactly a year ago, the last full orgasm video I made before Vimeo closed my account for the second time. I held on to it because I kept hoping I could release it on a different platform, and because I needed time to remember how to be more courageous than ashamed.
Watching it again now brings up an enormity of feelings. Wondering what the hell I was thinking but being proud of myself. All my beauty and all my flaws exposed as one. Moments of grace next to moments I wish I could cut out. Everything I would do differently but how this experience can never be relived. The way this is both boring and mesmerizing, so private and political. How my entire story is written on my body. How pleasure and awkwardness, confusion and surrender rise and fall like waves. The reality of orgasm, the time that it takes. How slow pace leaves so much room for the uncomfortable. The desire to see and feel myself, the struggle to show up, to exist as myself. All laid bare to judge or to celebrate.
I can't know for sure that I'm doing the right thing in sharing this. I'm still terrified that my work raises so many questions for which I do not have answers. But there is something about this that's asking not to be denied. If that makes me a pornographer then fine, so be it. Call it porn or call it art, I don't care anymore, they are your eyes, you decide what you see.

Motel 6 Accused of Sharing Guest Info with ICE
Hotel & Resort Patrick Clarke September 14, 2017
Travelers are calling for the boycott of Motel 6 in wake of an investigation by the Phoenix New Times that found multiple locations in Arizona have been sharing guest information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
After reviewing court records, the New Times found that ICE agents made at least 20 arrests at Motel 6 hotels in Phoenix between February and August of this year. However, the publication acknowledges that the figure is likely even higher given the documents' vague details.
All of the arrests occurred at either the Motel 6 Phoenix - Black Canyon or the nearby Motel 6 Phoenix West. Both locations are corporate-owned.
One-third of the arrests followed "knock and talks," where agents knock on hotel room doors without a warrant and instead ask for permission to enter.
"We send a report every morning to ICE—all the names of everybody that comes in," a Motel 6 front-desk clerk told the New Times. "Every morning at about 5 o'clock, we do the audit and we push a button and it sends it to ICE."
Some detainees even allege that ICE officials are paying hotel staff for tips.
"They have heard that ICE is paying $200 per person for the front-desk clerk to report," Arizona immigration lawyer Denise Aguilar, who has multiple clients who were detained at a Motel 6, told the New Times in an email.
Yasmeen Pitts O'Keefe, a spokeswoman for ICE's Phoenix division, was unable to say whether agents are checking hotel guest lists to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
"I wouldn't be able to confirm how we are getting our information. Those are investigative techniques that we wouldn't be able to talk about," she told the New Times. "It's not some big conspiracy. If they're [ICE agents] given consent, then they can come in. If they're not, then they can come back with a search warrant."
While a recent Supreme Court decision prohibits the city of Phoenix from requiring motels to turn over guest information to authorities without a warrant, a hotel owner can voluntarily share that information at their own discretion.

Motel 6 responded to the story and subsequent backlash with a public statement, claiming it was unaware and has discontinued the controversial practice.

In an emailed statement to the New Times, Motel 6 spokeswoman Raiza Rekhoff said the chain is "further investigating and will provide more information shortly."
Meanwhile, the hashtag #BoycottMotel6 has been trending on social media with users posting harsh criticism of the brand.

They should spend more energy cleaning the hotels than ratting out guests.
I was thinking, boycott Motel 6, then remembered that I would NEVER stay there. #Motel6 #wth https://t.co/KbQ6CeExVq— Courtney Fowler (@Coco_FoCotton) September 14, 2017
Last motel I said in was a Motel 6. Never again. #boycottMotel6— Georgia NeSmith, PhD (@PracticalLefty) September 14, 2017
Let's make this happen #BoycottMotel6 https://t.co/NesgzPEUEN— ChuckModi (@ChuckModi1) September 14, 2017
Good reason to #BoycottMotel6— Andrea Valentini (@GypsySpirit46) September 13, 2017
Is this your official company policy, @Motel6? pic.twitter.com/oO6obUGxX8— ACLU National (@ACLU) September 13, 2017
It remains to be seen whether the motel chain can remedy its latest black eye. Nonetheless, the public relations hit is likely to last for some time as groups including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) demand answers.

Scout Niblett has a new album out Tuesday, The Calcination of Scout Niblett. Here is the review I think best expresses why I like Scout Niblett's stuff.
I'll try to re-arrange my music queue to jump one of the tracks from the new album in line (I'm currently queued up to February 15th). Don't know if I'll manage it, most of the stuff I have queued up follows a particular progression, e.g., a heavy metal shredder one day, then Willie Nelson the next day (WTF? What does Willie have to do with a heavy metal shredder?! But it makes sense, and I'll tell you why). In the meantime, I already have the album on order, I'll do a review as soon as I get it some time next week.

Money doesn't satisfy us, and it never will. It just doesn't work that way. No, it won't be different for you, even if you win the lottery. We can look down through history and find a long, tragic list of people who thought money would do the trick. They were convinced that they could handle it, and ended up sacrificing eternity for a trunk full of gold.
Eternity. It's a long time.
Money and material goods aren't satisfying or fulfilling, because obtaining them doesn't meet our spiritual needs. God didn't create us to find fulfillment in that way. The things of this world will never take us deeper with Him. We can fake it and buy into all the lies we see and hear, but I hope that we're realizing that we've been deceived and bought the lie for too long.
Because it's possible that we've been deceived and that the cares and affairs of the world have choked the word in our lives, we should admit that we need help. We should pray that we won't trust in our money more than we trust in Him. For instance, when we say, "I can't afford to give to help fellow Christians in need," what we really mean is, "I don't trust God—I trust money more." If we trusted God more than money, we would give to Him. But we don't. We don't think He'll take care of us. All we can see is our paycheck. That's it. We can't see Him, and we don't really trust Him. We see our paycheck as being our provider instead of Him.
Sorry, but it's true.
While I'm making direct and possibly offensive statements, here's another: We Westerners should be seriously challenged by the way we've been so grasping with our money. The work of God suffers. The poor, widows, orphans, and the persecuted are neglected.
The force of our culture presses us to behave as if this life, this world, is all there is, although we may not necessarily believe that in our Christian heads. Therefore, even though it isn't part of our belief system, we still heap to ourselves the things of this world. We forget about what Jesus said to the foolish, rich man. This parable bothers me because what this rich man did makes perfect sense to me.
Let's read it. "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:16-21).
It wasn't the goods that Jesus had a problem with; it was the man's attitude. He laid up treasure for himself but wasn't rich toward God. He could kick back, now that his barns were full, and he could coast. Even so—doesn't even that make sense? Isn't this what retirement at an early age is all about? Isn't this what we wish we could do—have enough money so we could "take our ease?"
Jesus says that fools think this way.
Had enough?
I think I have, but Jesus won't leave it alone, it seems.
I was startled when I read one day what Jesus says in Luke 12:13-15, just before He tells the parable we just read about the rich fool. This account bothers me for the same reason that the parable about the foolish rich man does—this man's actions make sense to me.
Let's read it. "Then someone called from the crowd, 'Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father's estate with me.' Jesus replied, 'Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?' Then he said, 'Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.'"
When I read this, I thought to myself, "What would happen in any prayer meeting anywhere in the world, if someone came and said to the group, 'My father left my brother and me an inheritance, but my brother won't share it with me. He's not being fair. And to be honest, I could use the money to buy a house. Would you please pray that he'll do that?'"
These verses struck me because the man's request was, in a sense, a prayer request—he was asking Jesus to do something for him.
What was Jesus' response? Well, it wasn't, "Sure, I'd be happy to. That sounds fair to me."
No. First, He says, in effect, "Nope, I'm not going to do that. It's not My job."
Not Your job? I thought everything was Your job, if I asked in faith, believing.
Guess not.
Then, as if that wasn't enough, Jesus rebukes the guy.
"Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own."
The man may have protested, "But, but, Lord…my brother, my inheritance…it's not fair."
Then, just to make sure that He has nailed the coffin lid shut, He tells the story about the foolish rich man.
Enough already.
However, maybe it's not enough already, especially for us. Maybe we need to hear this more than enough times, so that it finally sinks in.

A yacht's mast requires a network of wires to keep it vertical. If one of these wires is lost the mast tends to fall over. We've seen this lots of time. With presence of mind and quick reactions this can be avoided by turning the yacht so that the missing wire or 'stay' is on the downwind side of the mast. The strain will then be taken by other wires.
Yesterday's shout involved just this situation. Just after 2 in the afternoon the crew were paged to assist a yacht with rigging failure 10 miles to the south of St Aldhelm's Head. About 40 minutes later they were on scene and put two crew members onboard so as to help stabilise the rig and prepare for the passage back to Swanage. Luckily, with the prevailing wind direction, the wind was pushing the mast forwards and so the vessel could be sailed back to Swanage under Mainsail alone.
Once in Swanage the yacht was attached to the lifeboat mooring and the skipper was re-united with his wife.
Job done...
