- Uncle Tom's Cabin is an anti-slavery novel covering the life of the lowly in the society. Published in 1852, the novel's main theme is anti-slavery considering that at the time United States was recovering from slavery about 75 years after gaining its independence. In the novel, it is argued that emancipation without education is wrong. This forms the major difference between slavery in the novel and that occurring in the United States before gaining independence where the colonizers were not interested in the education of the locals. Education was introduced by missionaries in most regions though the role of missionaries in introducing slavery is also subject to discussion. The effect of slavery on families is the same in the novel as was witnessed during colonial times. The characters in the novel were used to bring out the author's thoughts on slavery.
The relationship between masters/mistresses and the slaves is not presented as injured. Stowe says 'whoever visits some of estates there, and witnesses the good-humored indulgence of some masters and mistresses, and the affectionate loyalty of some slaves…' (p. 50). America was among the first countries to gain independence. There are limited differences between slavery there and in other countries considering that the colonial masters were the same using the same tactics to rule. However, comparing it with slavery in Africa, there was no slave trade among Americans as there was enough work to be done by American slaves in the region. African slaves were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to America to work in farms. Indentured servants were individuals who signed contracts to work for a specific number of years if they were transported to Virginia. They were equally exploited as in slave trade with their families suffering the same effects as those of enslaved ones.
- Stowe uses the characters in the novel to communicate ideas in regard to slavery. Augustine St. Clare is Eva's father. He also briefly owns Tom. Stowe presents him as a contradictory character since he sees and understands what ought to be done but decides to adopt a different approach which is often wrong. Augustine knows that slavery is wrong. He is presented as a lazy man. Though he is strongly against slavery, he still needs slaves to do some work for him. He is therefore a hypocrite preaching water and taking wine. His actions are defended by the argument that he was heartbroken and missed a chance to live in the North where he would have a better chance to oppose slavery. Marie is Augustine's wife in the novel. Marie is pro-slavery as she is presented as a woman who would not do anything for herself without the help of slaves. Augustine's efforts to denounce slavery stands in jeopardy after foolishly marrying Marie.
Alfred St. Clare is Augustine's twin brother in the novel. He supports slavery and believes that slaves should be brutally managed to ensure that the life of the master is good. Among the three, Augustine holds different opinion on slavery but cannot execute any change due to the attachment he has with his wife and his laziness. A conversation between Augustine and Miss Ophelia presents Augustine as a critical thinker. He argues that Christians are pretenders just hiding in religion and doing what is evil (Stowe 353). Augustine St. Clare is not always clear in the effects of slavery since he is at some point a hero for fighting it and in other sections a villain for practicing it. However, he yearns for a society where slaves would be free and be regarded as normal humans.
- After independence, real freedom was not attained in the United States and other countries across the world. What emerged was another class of citizens who exploited citizens with the gap between employers and employers continuing to widen. Defenders of slavery argued that slavery ensured that individuals who could not fend themselves and their families got a chance to do so. However, the approach was very wrong Slavery dehumanized the slaves and converted them into objects to meet the needs of the slave masters. In some cases, they were beaten, raped or even killed. The campaign against slavery was therefore not based on their ability to fend themselves but the cruelty of the whole process which needed to be curbed. In the novel, the Shelby family has an affectionate relationship with their slaves. To raise money to salvage his sinking empire, Shelby decides to sell one slave. This is a major ill of slavery where masters considered slaves their property having the ability to sell them. In St. Clare's family, Alfred and Marie have similar opinions while Augustine holds different thoughts about slave trade. The assertion that slavery gave slaves a way of getting food, clothing and shelter was not true. The masters were using them for their personal and selfish gains.
- Stowe presents an argument that if slaves are treated well they won't run away. Eliza Harris is Miss Shelby's maid/slave. She is brave and intelligent. Her escape from the Shelby's is prompted by the attempt to sell her son, an attempt which she accords full resistance. In a spectacular move, she crosses Ohio River taking advantage of patches of ice found on the water. This supports the statement since she could have stayed if the peace and existence of her son was not threatened. George Harris (the slave) is an innovative and intelligent young man. He invents a labor saving machine while working in a bagging company. Though his master is cruel, he endures the cruelty refusing to leave the family alone. The institution of slavery suppresses great minds such as George's. Later in the novel, he is able to get education courtesy of his sister who returns as a rich widow. He settles in Liberia believing that he should not be suppressed by whites as they were equal in all measures. Considering the two slaves, slavery is viewed as lack of a better option in life with the two persevering up to the point when they cannot stand it longer.
- Slaves faced various obstacles including physical abuse, lack of medical attention, sexual harassment, poor living conditions among others. However, despite the challenges they faced, very few slaves had the courage to leave the homes of their masters and live on their own. The slaves were made to believe that they could not make it on their own with the masters ensuring that they relied on them for their shelter, food and clothing. The slaves were also intimidated facing harsh physical abuse if they contemplated leaving their masters' homes and farms. The working conditions were also detrimental. In rice plantations, slaves contracted malaria and died because of lacking proper medical attention. Slave codes were established in the 18th century to further oppress the slaves. Slave codes determined the rights of slave owners and the state of the slaves. In all the states, slave owners were granted absolute powers over their slaves. The Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the US Congress in 1850. Earlier fugitive laws provided that slaves who tried to escape would be captured and be returned to their masters. The Fugitive law of 1850 provided that officials who failed to adhere to the earlier laws would be penalized. Anyone suspected to be a runaway slave was to be arrested and be taken back to their master. The Fugitive Act of 1850 was different to previous laws since it provided a penalty of $1000 which officials failing to adhere to the previous and new law would be penalized. From the novel, slave action was facilitated by attempts to pass the line where the slaves could persevere. Slaves could be prejudiced against each other slaves considering the way they were treated. Resistance was also curbed by being affectionate or overly brutal. Physical abuse suppressed slave action in some cases ensuring that they remained loyal to their masters.
- The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was prompted by increased brutality and slave labor as Haitians worked in plantations (Popkin 12-15). The Haitian revolution led to the birth of a new state. Toussaint L'Ouverture was one of the slaves leading the revolution which overthrew the French regime at the time. The revolution was as a result of slave uprising as the slaves refused to work on the 8000+ plantations which produced crops for export (Geggus 5). The American Underground Railroad was devised by Levi and Catherine with more than two thousand slaves having their escape through it. It was not a physical underground rail but a figurative way of describing the approach used to see the slaves get their way back to freedom. The abolitionists played a key role in the escapes ensuring that slaves got their freedom and reunited with their people. Therefore, both in the novel and the case studies presented, slaves resisted by running away from their masters when they felt they could not hold it any longer. In some cases, they needed an internal or external force to push them to resist the force of their masters and fight their way to freedom.
- Stowe was a white abolitionist with the ideas presented in the novel through the characters chosen presenting her ideas on slavery and ways to stop it. Abolitionists were pushing for the abolition of slave trade and set slaves free so they could be in a position to live normally and reunite with their families. One of the major differences between abolitionism and anti-slavery movement is that abolitionists (mainly women) rose to become significant figures in American politics pushing for the rights of women whom they argued had not realized the full taste of freedom. They later formed majority of feminists who pushed for women inclusion in public institutions and their participation in activities such as national elections. However, it is only in the early 20th century that women were allowed to participate fully with the effort being attributed to the feminists and other groups which fought for inclusion and equality regardless of gender or race. Abolitionists and anti-slavery movements used different methods to pass their message such as organizing riots which would ensure they addressed the right authority to convey their message. They also pushed for inclusion of all races in public positions to offer equality and inclusion.
- Stowe was among the few Northern Whites who were against slavery. In her work, she presents the different opinions held by people in America through her characters. Majority of the white were pro-slavery considering that they wanted people to work in their plantations. A few like Augustine St. Clare were against slavery but the situation they were in prevented them from taking any step to end it. The greed for cheap labor dominated the pro-slavery approaches. Majority of those who were supporting slavery felt that it was the right of the slave masters to get service from the slaves. The Fugitive Act of 1850 shows the attempts to ensure that slavery was not abolished. The Fugitive Act of 1850 provided that officials who violated the earlier laws to return runaway slaves would be penalized an amount up to $1000. In the Novel, Senator Bird and Mrs. Bird live in the free state of Ohio where most slaves passed on their way to Canada. Senator Bird helped in the passing of the Fugitive Slave Act which criminalized the act of runaway slaves. This presents the opinion of most westerners who viewed it as their right to be served by the slaves. Slaves were not united and so their ability to revolt against the oppressive rule was highly jeopardized. However, Mrs. Bird is the complete opposite in her character to Senator Bird. She strictly subscribes to Christian doctrines and feels it is her responsibility to assist anyone in trouble. It is on that basis that she tries to make her husband understand why the fugitive act is wrong on moral grounds. She holds that the slaves are similar to whites in the face of God and so they should be treated as such. Ophelia is an abolitionist from the North. She holds that slavery is wrong and should be treated as such. Slaves suffered physical abuse as the government through its laws allowed it. The Northern slaves were oppressed as the ones in the south.
- Unlike in the North, many southern Christians felt that slavery was not disallowed in the bible. In fact, Christianity seemed to support slavery considering that the teachings in the Old Testament presented men of God with slaves to serve them. Abraham had slaves. The commandments also approved of slavery with the concept being widely spread in early civilizations. Therefore, slavery could only be abolished on moral and humanitarian grounds and not from a Christian approach. In Stowe's novel, Mrs. Bird tries to make her husband adopt a different approach based on moral acceptance to abolish it. She fails. According to Stowe, every aspect of slavery is wrong. However, considering that it was written after the passing of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, it shows she was more against the act of returning running away slaves to their masters. The idea is further presented in her work as she shows characters running away from their masters because of oppression (Eliza) and also to seek better opportunities in life (case of George Harris).

text: Home > Overseas Docking fails for Russia's first humanoid robot sent into space Maria Panina, Agence France-Presse Posted at Aug 24 2019 06:10 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter LinkedIn A still image, taken from a video footage and released by Russian space agency Roscosmos, shows robot Skybot F-850, also known as FEDOR, inside the Russian Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft carried by Soyuz-2.1a booster after the launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan August 22, 2019. Russian space agency Roscosmos/Handout via Reuters MOSCOW - An unmanned spacecraft carrying Russia's first humanoid robot to be sent into orbit failed to dock automatically at the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, in a new setback for Moscow. The Soyuz craft had to retreat to a "secure distance" from the ISS, Russian news agencies said, quoting the space flight control center. RIA Novosti state news agency quoted a space industry source blaming "failings" with the docking system. The docking had been scheduled for 0530 GMT but a live broadcast of the event on the website of the Russian space agency Roscosmos was interrupted when the Soyuz approached to about 100 meters off the ISS. An emergency meeting at the control center was underway to decide whether to launch another attempt to link up with the space station, the agency said Saturday. The life-size robot named FEDOR, short for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, is the first-ever sent up by Russia. Russia to send 'Fedor' its first humanoid robot into space FEDOR blasted off Thursday in a Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and was to stay on the ISS until September 7 learning to assist astronauts in the space station. Soyuz ships are normally manned on such trips, but this time no humans were travelling in order to test a new emergency rescue system. Instead of cosmonauts, Fedor, also known as Skybot F850, was strapped into a specially adapted pilot's seat, with a small Russian flag in its hand. "Let's go. Let's go," the robot was heard saying during launch, repeating the famous phrase used by the first man in space Yuri Gagarin. The silvery anthropomorphic robot stands 180 centimeters tall and weighs 160 kilos. FEDOR has Instagram and Twitter accounts with posts saying it is learning new skills, such as opening a bottle of water. It was to trial those manual skills in very low gravity inside the space station. "The first stage of in-flight experiments went according to the flight plan," the robot tweeted after reaching orbit. FEDOR copies human movements, a key skill that allows it to remotely help astronauts -- or even people on Earth -- to carry out tasks while the humans are strapped into an exoskeleton. On the website of one of the state backers of the project, the Foundation of Advanced Research Projects, FEDOR is described as potentially useful on Earth for working in high radiation environments, demining and tricky rescue missions.

who won the Suffolk Coastal Seat!
A Seat UKIP DELIBERATELY DESTROYED in Petty Jealousy and dishonest in fighting and abuse!
a small example for UKIP that shows that corruption, dishonesty, greed, bullying and liars are no substitute for integrity.
Congratulations to Chris Hudson who yesterday won the seat of Suffolk Coastal as a Tory.
Many will remember this was the seat where John West was the candidate for UKIP until he was lied about, abused, ridiculed and mocked with no political support from scum like utterly discredited thief fraud and dishonourable Stuart Agnew MEP, the liar George Curtis, the corrupt and professionally inadequate Andrew Smith, the totally discreditted liar cheat and low life Mick McGough, the foul mouthed and dishonourable Annabelle Fuller, the bully liar and discreditted abuser Peter Reeve, the dellusional dishonest creep David Bannerman, the self serving corrupt Stuart Gulleford and others.
Let us not forget that UKIP destroyed Suffolk Coastal branch and in the election yesterday was completely incapable of finding a single applicant or representative to stand not even on their level of paper candidate could they even find toilet paper to stand!
For quite some time Chris Hudson was lauded by UKIP and even called upon to represent Geoffrey Titford, UKIP's one time leader – Chris's political experience was called upon by Farage for advice even having years of experience with the Tory Party.
Chris Hudson had lent his support to UKIP in the belief that they would act as Britain's lifeboat to lead Britain to Leave-The-EU – when it became apparent they were just a small claque seeking self aggrandisement and self enrichment through exploitation he accepted the Tory offer to return and be their candidate in Suffolk Coastal.
Standing for his first time and still adherent to his Leave-The-EU agenda at first glance it looks as if he has received a larger percentage of the vote than had UKIP anywhere!
UKIP on the other hand has seen the outcome of their odious behaviour and their results have been an unmitigated and unprincipled catastrophy if it is still pretending to lead Britain to Leave-The-EU.

It was my very first time been to a racecourse – Sha Tin Racecourse is one of the two famous racetracks in Hong Kong. I was very much amazed by how beautiful this racecourse was and how many people were there to watch. And of course I bought a few tickets to try my luck but didn't win. Oh well, it was a great experience being there!

"THE PROPOSAL" had me at the mere mention of unsweetened cinnamon light soy latte. "Christmas in a cup," as it was succinctly described.
Any movie that uses food and / or drink to make a point – or establish a premise – has me all ears and eyes. And in the particular case I had last night, it even had me re-examining my decision to get the Starbucks Coffee Company® Dark Mocha Raspberry Frappucino I was sipping. Definitely not unsweetened. Definitely not light. But I snapped out of it in a jiffy – all ears and eyes to the movie, remember?
"The Proposal" stars Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate, editor-in-chief of book publishing company Colden Books, who – in the opening scenes – could very well be Miranda Priestly incarnate. For a moment, it felt like it was "The Devil Wears Prada" all over again. From the walk to the office to the flurry of activity that results as the rank and file put on the token appearance of being hard at work as the big boss passes by… to the executive assistant – with coffee in hand – that barely dodges a morning tongue-lashing by making it to the office literally a mere few steps ahead of the boss. Margaret swipes the coffee off of her assistant's hand in one clean motion and I knew the movie had finally started rolling.
Ryan Reynolds stars as Andrew Paxton, Margaret's assistant. So the parallel to "The Devil Wears Prada" could end there as the assistant here is a guy. Besides, this movie has an Hermes Birkin, a Louis Vuitton luggage, a Louis Vuitton Speedy Carry-All, and killer Louboutins all over the place. Not Prada.
Within the first few scenes – and showing she can really think well on her feet – Margaret forces Andrew to marry her to avert getting her well-toned heinie deported to her native Canada after her Visa application got denied. Put on the spot, not to mention tormented for years (the movie established this well in just a few minutes), Andrew begudgingly accepts, but not without conditions of his own. The "engagement" clearly has sham written all over it – and a fiancée visa that needed to be filed – that the government has to investigate and stay hot on the newly betrothed couple's trails.
One personal appearance at the immigration office and Margaret and Andrew find themselves forced to visit with Andrew's family in Alaska to make the charade believable. Here, the uptight, control-freak editor-in-chief finds herself out of her comfort zone, and so not in command. Unexpected episodes of comedic proportions ensue, culminating when Andrew's family insisted on a weekend wedding to coincide with Andrew's grandma's 90th birthday. Sticking to their plan – probably with a quick divorce waiting in the wings – Margaret and Andrew have laid out contigencies for any eventuality.
Except for genuinely falling in love. (I'll stop here lest I spoil it for you!)
I haven't seen a lot of movies this year, but "The Proposal" is the first one to be worth the steep Php 150.00 free-seating ticket I paid for for it! Sure, it's not about to be remembered when Academy members fill out their nomination ballots come the 2010 awards season – though a Golden Globe for Sandra for Best Actress, Comedy is not far-fetched! – but I will remember "The Proposal" for heralding the return of Sandra Bullock as one of America's real sweethearts.
Ringing true to the words of Ingrid in "Tayong Dalawa," Sandra Bullock could very well declare: "I'm back. I'm sooooooo back!"
I find "The Proposal" to be a (romantic) comedy that appeals to the intellect. It doesn't rely on slapstick or special effects to draw out a chuckle or boisterous laughter. I found myself to be laughing even at scenes that just involved dialogue. And not even the shrilly or loud kind. Sandra and Ryan had perfect comedic timing – on their own and as the on-screen couple. They trade witticisms and quips like it's nobody's business. Usually, I would sense even a nanosecond of pause or uncertainty in the way lesser actors would exchange lines. But not with these two. They could give Lorelei and Rory Gilmore a run for their money.
Long after the credits had rolled, I was still playing in my head the scenes in Margaret's office when she put Andrew on the spot. The scene when she fired one of her editors. The one where she cut the line at the immigration and was later shown impatiently waiting for the officer who later launched to a no-nonsense discussion on what would take to get her fiancée visa approved. And of course, the "proposals" that took place.
Credit has to be given to the excellent support cast that buoyed Sandra's and Ryan's performances. Academy award-winning actress Mary Steenburgen was lovable as Andrew's mother. She gave the understated elegance her role needed. But something has to be said about Emmy award-winning actress Betty White. Not only did she deliver her punchlines perfectly – suspending the wit and then releasing it to elicit full laughter – but she also managed to almost steal the scenes she was in. Somehow, she knew exactly when to dole them out one by one for "dramatic" effect and when to just lay them down one time.
Having said all these, "The Proposal" remains to be Sandra Bullock's movie. She gave the role of editor-in-chief the icy cold quality that demanded both hypnotic obedience and snickers. But as the movie unravels you shall see that the warmth of human affection melts the ice and reveals a person who finally realizes she needs someone else – however scary the thought could be.
I said that with the reference to the unsweetened cinnamon light soy latte I became "all ears and all eyes" to the movie. But with the one pivotal scene when Margaret and Andrew shared things about themselves – originally intended just to prepare for the immigration officer's questioning – I found myself to be "all heart."
Best Sound Bites. I heard a lot of lines in the movie that may find use in my day-to-day existence. Hahaha! It was kind of hard to take down notes while in the dark that was the movie house. But here are those that really stuck, culled from my memory.
"I guess I'm alone because I'm comfortable that way. It's easy that way."
"It's hard to ruin someone's life after you find out just how wonderful they are."
"I started to see something. I saw something when we kissed."
Dinner and then some. Obviously – judging from the photo of the movie ticket above – I flew solo. But I didn't mind at all as I got to enjoy my Pepper Lunch dinner to myself! I had The Double Beef Pepper Rice, Miso Soup, and Green Tea. Super value for money at just Php 334.00 total damage!
To the movie, I brought a grande Starbucks Coffee Company® Dark Mocha Raspberry Frappucino.
After dinner – before the movie – I did some serious window-shopping. Hahaha!


text: Nov10 Help a stranger, help a friend. Posted on November 10, 2018 by Jani Standard Alzheimer's has touched my family, and now my friends'. I have over 120 some followers, if you all donated a dollar, even that could help. This is a family that in one way or another has influenced my life for over 25 years. Please see the attached gofundme. https://www.gofundme.com/63k9y-save-my-parent039s-home "My father is 78 years old and has Alzheimer's. The disease is advancing. My mother and I are his primary caregivers and are doing our best to keep him home with family as it progresses. Mom is on a fixed income. I work full time and am also a full time college student, set to graduate this Spring, 2019. I've left school many times over the years in order to help family, I am really pushing to finish now. We have a hard time making the mortgage payment. We're literally at risk of losing the house, at which point I have no idea what we would do. My dream here is to raise enough money to pay off the house for them and help cover the costs of his very expensive medications and other living needs. I would never dream of asking for money like this, but then I thought "we live in a world where a multi-millionaire can raise millions just so she can be a billionaire. People set up, and succeed, in GoFundMe campaigns for boob jobs, dream cars, festival tickets, vacations etc. So I figured I would take a shot in the dark here and see if there is anything I can do to help save my father's home. He is a Vietnam-Era veteran who worked his entire life. He graduated Harvard Law. Watching him fade away in front of us is so hard. Thinking of having to put him in a residential home and losing his house is just too much. I want him to be around family, who love him, until the end. So I'm making this campaign, and putting it out there and will see what happens. Blessings to all." Share this:TwitterFacebookPinterestLinkedInTumblrEmailRedditPrintLike this:Like Loading...

Hiltons, VA -- A longtime supporter of the Carter Fold and the traditions of Appalachia, Tim White settled in east Tennessee in 1974 and pursued his dream of being an artist, sign painter, and banjo picker. Tim's music has gained a strong following throughout the region, and he's fronted several bands over the past two decades - including Troublesome Hollow, the Beagles, and the VW Boys. Saturday, January 26th, 2013, at 7:30 p.m., the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, Virginia, will present a concert of bluegrass music by the Tim White and the VW Boys. Admission to the concert is $8 for adults, $1 for children 6 to 11, under age 6 free.
While he is well-respected for his musical skills, Tim is probably best known as host of the PBS television concert series Song of the Mountains. This popular program features bluegrass, old time, Celtic, gospel, and Americana music and reaches over 21 million households and 52 million people annually across the nation. Tim's interest in recognizing, preserving, and perpetuating the historic music of the area led him to co-found the Appalachian Cultural Music Association. He regularly organizes and promotes concerts of bluegrass and old time music. WPWT Radio – 870 AM & 100.7 FM – hosts Tim's popular bluegrass show. Tim also does a nationally syndicated bluegrass show. A veteran of radio broadcasting, he started his career in 1989.
Tim is the banjo picker and baritone singer for the VW Boys. Dave Vaught is the group's guitar picker.

While generating a fantastic client response, our free telephone evaluation offer has also brought to light another service that our clients are requiring – instant payment.
In person, we are able to make an on-the-spot cash payment for unwanted gold. By mail, though, clients have to wait for their mailer to arrive (about 5 days), have to pack up their gold and get it to a post office (another day, at least), wait for it to be delivered to us (another 5 days), and then wait for their cheque to arrive (another 5 days). 15 to 20 days seems like a long time to complete a gold buy and sell transaction, but that is just the way it is, isn't it?
Once we make our offer on gold to sell, our telephone clients are asking how long it would take to get paid. 20 days is too long for many, so we are launching a service to do it in 24 hours!
Here's how it works:
- Call us for a FREE evaluation by phone
- If we agree on the conditional offer, then send the item(s) to us by priority overnight courrier service (we'll even pay 50% of the shipping cost if your items are valued at $200 or more)
- Once assessed, we transfer your payment directly to your bank account through Interac e-Transfer.
Nothing gets quicker and easier than that!

Highlights of Massey Energy Press Conference
Massey Launches www.MasseyUBB.com Website to Provide Additional Information
JULIAN, W.Va., April 26, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –Massey Energy Company (NYSE: MEE) today held a press conference to address the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine. Remarks from the press conference are excerpted below.
Massey Energy has also launched a new website, http://www.MasseyUBB.com, to provide the public with an archive of information Massey Energy has released about the Upper Big Branch mine. For additional information, please refer to the "April 26, 2010 Letter to Stakeholders" at http://www.MasseyUBB.com.
Don Blankenship, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
"We are fully dedicated to figuring out what happened if humanly possible to do so. We owe to the families, and to the industry, and to the public our best and sincerest efforts to find the cause of the explosion. It is critical that we find out the facts so that all Massey and industry coal miners can work without fear of another explosion. Once the facts are known, we will enact corrective processes at Massey immediately and encourage regulation and laws focused on eliminating the chance of a reoccurrence."
General Robert H. "Doc" Foglesong, Director
"The first and most important consideration, of course, is providing care for the families of the 29 miners who died. Massey Energy is providing these benefits without requiring any family to settle any legal issues — we're doing it because it's the right thing to do."
Admiral Bobby R. Inman, Lead Independent Director
"Massey Energy is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of integrity in every aspect of its operations. Some have called for immediately changing our leadership. Making changes in the midst of a crisis is exceptionally high risk for all stakeholders. When the crisis has subsided and we know the facts, we will maintain the highest standard of accountability and responsibility."
Stanley Suboleski, Director
"Massey Energy is cooperating with all federal and state regulatory agencies involved in this investigation. The company is committed to working together to determine the cause of the accident, and to preventing it from ever happening again."
"It is important to note that the longwall at UBB was not operating with the same ventilation system that it began with in September 2009. MSHA required us to change that system and we complied. Recognizing that professionals can reasonably disagree on the best method of ventilation at a mine, we have discovered the following: 1. that MSHA required several changes since that date that made the ventilation in this area significantly more complex; 2. that the volume of fresh air to the face was significantly reduced during this period; and 3. that our engineers resisted making the changes, in one instance to the point of shutting down production for two days, before agreeing to MSHA's ventilation plan changes."
Massey Energy Company, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, with operations in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia, is the largest coal producer in Central Appalachia and is included in the S&P 500 Index.

Blank slates. Fresh starts. If ever there was a year that needed them, 2016 was it.
Yes, there were many joys. There was an abundance of moments of beauty and happiness and completeness, and I am so very grateful for all of them. At the same time, I am overwhelmingly ready for a chance to breathe and the feeling that we have a chance to start over, even if it is only symbolic.
And so I am ending 2016 with this song, one of my favorites. It is a faith-based song, but even if your beliefs fall in a different direction, I think there's a world of truth in the words of the chorus:
So go ahead and put the past in the past
Box it up like an old photograph
Don't have to go back, 'cause that was then
And this is now.
Hope and a whole glittering new year: Happiness Day 25.

| 12.1°C Dublin
Jake Bugg has said it's been amazing to go on tour with Noel Gallagher - because he'd never even left Britain until this year.
Ex-Oasis star Noel tracked down Jake to be the support act on the European leg of his world tour after watching the then unknown appear on Later... With Jools Holland.
Jake, 18, said: I'd never been out of the UK before this year - and now I've been to Germany five times, and France three times, plus loads of other places.
"It was incredible. We played 8,000-seat venues each night, and everyone came in to watch me.
"It's not like when you support someone in the UK and everyone's in the bar till the main act comes on."
His debut album entered the chart at number one after facing fierce competition from Leona Lewis' third album.
"I didn't think my album would even get in the top 40, to be honest," he said.
"So to hear that I was battling Leona Lewis for number one was pretty mad. I couldn't really ask for any more."
:: Jake Bugg's eponymous debut album is out now. He begins a UK tour on November 12.

Birdman is not quite a profound movie. It's wizard-built marvel of form—passionate, inventive, wild with life—but it serves a fairly simple function. Which gives the film, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the lopsidedness of so many artistic endeavors that flail madly, grandly toward greatness and yet don't quite get there. That's pretty meta—imperfect art about making imperfect art—but maybe not quite as much as the film's star and premise. Michael Keaton, now five Batmans back on the superhero shelf, plays Riggan Thomson, a faded movie star known for his Birdman action pictures who is now gray and disappointed but still anxious with ambition, trying to re-invent, or at least legitimize, his career by staging a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." He's directing, writing, and starring, fully staking his reputation and his sanity on the success of the show.
As it loops and swoops and wanders, Birdman, which is shot to (mostly) look like one continuous take, pecks at themes of aging, ego, and artistic value vs. commercial viability. It's heady stuff, but much of it is hoary, too. We've seen plenty of tortured stars who want to be artists, and artists who want to be stars, on film and stage before, and while Birdman takes this old trope and sends it bouncing around at fascinatingly odd angles, I'm not sure it really says anything new by the end. The word that kept springing to mind while I watched Riggan's struggle, his quest for relevance and acclaim, was petty. He may have elaborate delusions of grandeur—he imagines he has telekinetic powers, the psychic line between him and Birdman blurs in a couple of sky-bound scenes—but they're all in service of a pretty rudimentary want. Riggan aches to be taken seriously as an artist, and Birdman is about his quixotic, probably doomed crusade for that fulfillment. He clashes with actors and their egos, with a critic and her ego, and with himself and his. It's that kind of story. Strange as the territory may look and sound, it feels familiar.
Still, there's much in Birdman that sets the mind whirring. The film has a loose, improvisatory energy, each moment seemingly discovered instead of planned. And yet Birdman is, of course, an eye-popping display of technical meticulousness, Iñárritu and his cinematographer, the great Emmanuel Lubezki, playing deftly with what looks like available light and found space. The movie largely takes place inside the St. James Theater on West 44th Street, and while it wasn't actually shot there—the lighting was rigged, the space created—it feels entirely real, all tight corridors and walls heavy with absorbed tension. That manic, claustrophobic verve is true to the world of theater; Birdman captures the medium's essential spirit of magic and desperation, something rarely accurately rendered in movies. (Charlie Kaufman's spectacular Synecdoche, New York, a cousin of this film, did it on a much larger scale.)
There's been a lot of talk about Keaton giving a big comeback performance, in a movie about a comeback performance, and it indeed is finally a hefty, meaty role for him to sink his teeth (beak?) into after some years of languishing. The scratchy, wolfish vibe that first made him a star has faded and turned inward in the past couple decades. He's agitated, restless, as if the sandpaper is now on the inside of his skin. As Riggan's grasp on reality begins to falter, Keaton doesn't lose his grounding. It's a needy metaphor of a character, but Keaton finds ways to make Riggan breathe his own air, to exist credibly both in our understanding of the world and in the film's.

Hi, Can anyone advise - we are looking at using BigFix inventory as an inventory source for our SAM tool.
We have a connection to the DB2 database tables but are unsure whether we are looking at raw or normalised data - Thanks
I'd recommend considering the REST API for such purposes rather than the database:
Thanks but that isn't an option - we have an out of the box adapter - just wanted to know if the data we are looking at is raw data or not.
There should be both raw and normalized data. Look at the views which closely match the rest api format and that should be a good starting point.
@Smitty987 be careful when going direct to the database with your integration. The schema has historically been a semi-moving target as the product evolved (both in features and optimizations), and there are no guarantees an upgrade won't totally break how your pulling the data. Also, the ETL process BFI leverages assumes it has complete control so ensure nothing in your process(es) could interfere with it (like locking tables/rows) otherwise bad things might happen (ETL failures, corrupt data, etc).
Not to say it can't be done or it shouldn't be done, just be extra careful about how it is done.

While many think of Canada as being a chilly place, it gets just as hot as many places in the USA during its short (but sweet) summers. While it might be a bit frostier in the water, the action on the sand is much hotter, especially when you consider this country's more socially progressive attitudes.
Accordingly, there are more than a few naturist friendly beaches in Canada. Below, we'll share three spots where you'll find yourself among locals who are just as proud of their body as you are.
1) Wreck Beach, Vancouver, BC
As nude beaches go in Canada, Wreck Beach is one that shouldn't be missed if you are paying a visit to Vancouver on your Canadian vacation. Over 100,000 people walk its sandy shores annually, thanks in large part to the progressive attitudes which have allowed its existence over the years, as well as its 6.7 kilometre length, which gives visitors the space they need.
While the water in the Georgia Strait can be cold even in the heart of summer, locals can be often seen frolicking offshore, occasionally with the protection of a wetsuit. You won't be bored during your time here, either: with a preservation society sponsoring events year-round, Wreck Beach is a destination committed naturists won't want to miss.
Once you have finished mingling with local nudists, you may want to experience some excitement in one of Vancouver's gaming houses. However, if you don't to make a fool of yourself while at the Edgewater or the River Rock, it helps to play a bit at a canada casino online. This way, you'll know when to hit or stand in blackjack, and not bug the dealer for pointers when you sit down at the baccarat table.
2) Beaconia Beach, Manitoba
On a journey across Canada? At some point, you'll start to get delirious from the long days you'll put in behind the wheel. You'll definitely need to take a break, so take the opportunity to do so when you cross into Manitoba.
North of Winnipeg, you'll find an out of the way place called Beaconia Beach. Unlike uber popular spots like Grand Beach, this is a place where you can doff your top without having to deal with freaked out local conservatives.
While it is a haven for the LGBT community from Winnipeg, all orientation and genders are welcomed here with open arms. Just be sure to walk a solid 15 minutes south from the parking area before dropping trou, as the sands just beyond the lot are favoured by local families.
3) Hanlan's Point Beach, Toronto, Ontario
You won't have to venture far from the core of downtown Toronto to soak up the sun and cool off au naturel on a hot summer's day. After taking a quick ferry ride across the harbour to the Toronto Islands, you'll only be a ten minute stroll away from a place called Hanlan's Point Beach.
Officially designated a clothing optional beach since 1999, it is actually a nice spot for swimming during the peak summer months. Despite its proximity to the city, the water meets Blue Flag standards through most of the season.
With a stiff wind blowing off the open waters of Lake Ontario on many days, it is also an excellent spot for kiteboarding – can't say we've ever done that naked, but hey – there's a first time for everything.

Hello, my sweet friends!
How are you?! How was your holiday season? I hope you were able to find joy and peace in the midst of it all.
I admit, I struggled big time this year with not getting caught up in the busy. So many things to do and plan for shifted my focus and left me drained.
The new year brought promise of a fresh start that I was desperately seeking. Coming out of a season of abundance, I craved simplicity. In all areas of my life I was feeling led to strip everything down to bare bones and start over.
Let's start from square one.
My decor in my home has definitely reflected this. It's turned toward a more minimalistic and fresh feel. Simple wood, fresh green, and crisp white have taken over and is a constant visual reminder for me of my word over 2017- SIMPLICITY. In all areas- let's keep it simple. I feel like if I can grasp this concept, it will keep my mind focused on what's most important in life. It will help align my priorities, and hopefully, keep me from my enemy- busy.
Today I wanted to share my dining room tablescape with you for this season. I think it reflects exactly what I am trying to achieve all over, and what better place to start than at the heart of my home.
I tried keeping the overall look clean and uncluttered. Chairs are minimally decorated with basic sturdy textured burlap pillows and the settings are simplistic with gold chargers and milk colored plates. Place mats, flat ware and glass ware are removed to give space.
A small trimming of seeded eucalyptus leaf on the end settings pulls the table together with the center display.
To keep the tablescape grounded, I added a simple linen runner. I allowed for it to stay imperfect and slightly wrinkled for a relaxed feel and to add a fabric texture to the table similar to the chair pillows.
For the decorative pieces I started with simple, natural wood candlesticks. I think it gives a clean, rustic, supportive detail. The already used wax candles have small wax drippings to again give a relaxing and calming effect- a little bit of cozy since we are still in winter.
Speaking of winter, the season was the inspiration for adding these white, chippy, vintage inspired corbels.
They give a weathered season appropriate feel to the table and help to support the main character. If you would like some of your own, I offer them in my Etsy shop which you can find here.
Now the centerpiece is a large, white, ceramic vase with a circular pattern I purchased as a pair from Z Gallerie years ago. They have made a home in our bedroom since that time, but I thought bringing one to the the table would be the perfect addition to this simple tablescape.
The natural wood bead garland mimics the vase pattern, gives an interesting detail, and pulls in the natural wood candlesticks. If interested, you can find the wood bead garland in my Etsy shop here.
Can we just stop and talk about how nice it is that the Pantone color of the year is greenery?
They describe their choice of 2017 as,
"A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings. Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.
Greenery is nature's neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world."
So, in the spirit of new beginnings, I decided to use seeded eucalyptus.
To me it brings that fresh start, clean slate feel I have right now. Plus it's just a gorgeous leafy plant to look at!
The table as a whole, though simple, is interesting. Different textures and materials entertain the eye, while soothing tones and recurring circular, curvy shapes work together to develop an invigorating but relaxed display.
I think the key to any decor space is to have a balance of unity and interest. Having similar tones and shapes in the circular, curvy pattern throughout this tablescape, from the leaves, to the vase, to the corbels, candlesticks and curvy plates, all add to the feel of cohesion. BUT because the pieces are similar in shape and tone, to keep it interesting you add texture. Greenery, ceramic, wood, glass, metal, fabric- all play off one another enhancing the look of this table.
Here are a few more shots of this simplistic tablescape:
A few suggestions if you want to try a similar tablescape:
For more: Add vintage books between the corbels and the vase, gold rimmed stemware and gold flatware, textured green placemats, and wood soup bowls.
For less: Remove either candlesticks or corbels, or even both.
I hope this tablescape not only inspires you to create your own, but helps to allow yourself a fresh start in this new year.
As always, thank you so so much for stopping by.

Brothers jailed for 14 years for £3m tax fraud
7 Feb 2019
Three brothers, who ran a £3m tax scam involving pubs and restaurants across southern England, have been given jail sentences and banned from being directors for a total of 28 years
7 Feb 2019
Bournemouth brothers Shahab Hashtroudi, Shahin Hashtroudi, and Hedayat Hashtroudi, ran pubs and restaurants in Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey, using the money to prop up their loss-making business empire and fund their lifestyle. Shahab Hashtroudi drove a Porsche and sent his child to private school.
From October 2008 they set up 11 companies, all of which failed leaving huge debts. None of the companies lasted longer than 24 months, with some trading for less than a year. Some failed to pay a single penny in VAT to HMRC, while also failing to pass on the income tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) of their employees.
Their bookkeeper Tracy Carder, from Poole, enabled the fraud to continue by deceiving HMRC about the companies' true tax liabilities. Her actions helped extend the life of some of these companies and allowed for further substantial amounts of VAT, tax and NICs to be fraudulently evaded.
The Hashtroudis' firms went under the names of Alcatraz (including Alcatraz Dining Group Ltd, Alcatraz Pub Company Ltd, Alcatraz Restaurant Company Ltd and Alcatraz Wine and Beer Company Ltd); 8 Rivers (including 8 Rivers Inns Ltd, 8 Rivers Restaurants Ltd, 8 Rivers Pub Ltd); Apricot (including Apricot Pub Company Ltd and Apricot Restaurant Ltd); Alcatraz Group Ltd (formerly 8 Rivers Dining Ltd); and Candy Experience Ltd (formerly 8 Rivers Bars Ltd).
HMRC launched an investigation into the brothers after Apricot failed in similar circumstances to their previous businesses. Once the firms had been declared insolvent, they started trading again under a new name leaving hundreds of thousands of pounds of debt to HMRC behind.
After being disqualified as company directors, the brothers then became 'shadow' directors, pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Richard Wilkinson, assistant director, fraud investigation service, HMRC, said: 'The Hashtroudi brothers were serial offenders in setting up businesses and ripping off the British taxpayer, by pocketing the income tax and NICs employees had paid and also VAT on sales.'
Following a seven-week trial at Southampton Crown Court the group of four were found guilty of cheating the public revenue of £3m. Shahab Hashtroudi was also found guilty of tax fraud with Candy Experience Ltd (formerly 8 Rivers Bars Ltd).
Shahab Hashtroudi was given a six year jail sentence, Shahin Hashtroudi four years and Hedayat also four years. Carder received a two year jail sentence, suspended for two years, and was ordered to do 300 hours of unpaid work.
In sentencing the quartet, the judge described Shahab Hashtroudi as the 'orchestrator' of the fraud and 'the power behind the throne', saying: 'You involved others in this fraud by pressure, by persuasion, by force of personality or by playing on the desire of some to keep their jobs.'
Confiscation proceedings are underway to recover the proceeds of the crimes.
