From then on everything is vague and unclear.
Places and time.
Oneself, as well as other people.
I don't want to die without knowing anything!
A girl wearing dragonfly glasses protests loudly, as tears fall from her eyes.
C4 explosives are wrapped firmly around her torso. A 16-circuit bomb. If the wrong wire is cut, the bomb will explode instantaneously with deadly force. An innocent girl would be blown away in an instant. Leaving her body as nothing more than flesh and blood scattered on the ground.
It all spirals into darkness.
Inside the cramped cockpit, endless information keeps flooding the multipurpose screen.
<In the process of charging up. Starting up all components. Fuselage control unit. Fuselage diagnostic unit. Passive perception unit. Strategy data unit. Firearm control unit. Main-balancer. Start up complete. The CCU link>
The generator's coolant unit is emitting a low groan that steadily grows louder.
He adjusts his grip on the slightly trembling throttle, trigger position confirmed. Checklist abbreviated. The enemy immediately advances toward him.
It all spirals into darkness.
This girl, who always had strong eyes, pauses her hand in the middle of cutting his hair. Quietly she looks him in the eye, and hesitates.
Hey, why don't we kiss?
There is no reason for him to refuse. He is forming the response when she presses the razor against his throat.
You want to see me dead, don't you? It's impossible.
Eyes full of disdain, her hand moves. The sharp blade sinks into the skin, then the windpipe, and slices through his jugular. He can't even cry out her name. The only sound that escapes him is a strange wet gurgling.
It all spirals into darkness.
The passenger plane crash-lands into a world of water.
It's cold. Cold. Cold.
His beloved mother is no longer warm. While embraced in darkness, not once does he move. Two muttered words are the only things echoing in his ears.
Live. Fight.
Help never comes. The water divides. The crashed airplane, holding him within, sinks deeper into the cold sea. He feels nothing anymore. Or, maybe, that is the ideal ending.
It all spirals into darkness.
The sky is clear and the weather is fine. Somewhere in a courtyard, surrounded by many windows and many people, a girl he doesn't know appears, standing alone, stalk still, before him.
Her head is bowed. She's crying.
"Leave", she whispers. Everyone looks at him and sneers, throwing jeers and ridiculing him.

about us
- Sean McCoy
The outdoors are awesome. We want the time you spend there to be awesome too. Our goal is to deliver you the best gear imaginable, so you can get back to enjoying nature as it is meant to be.
NoZipp was founded on a tinkering desire to solve problems. An epic zipper struggle in 2014 seeded the idea to make less annoying and consistent gear. After many revisions, and too many nights sleeping in subpar prototypes; the NoZipp sleeping bag was born. We launched our flagship NoZipp magnetic sleeping bag via Kickstarter in March of 2016.
We met our initial funding goal in eight days, and we've since delivered sleeping bags to awesome Kickstarter backers and amazing online shoppers.
We can't wait to help you achieve a more comfortable night, anywhere.

My post below was posted on niedcamp.org on the eve of our #niedcamp day on 18th August in Stranmillis College.
I'm proud to be a teacher and I'm proud of the profession I serve. I really think that there's no greater gift to give to a fellow person than enabling their child to achieve their potential; see their possibilities; to give them aspirations… It's what the profession should be about.
I'm not naive enough to think that everyone feels like me, nor am I naive enough not to realise that there are a number of teachers who like getting paid each month without pushing themselves… We've all had those days, it's worse when it becomes weeks.
I'm also tired of excuses… Teaching never was an easy job and it isn't getting any easier. But remember this, teachers have engaged in third level education and are supposed to have proven themselves to be academically capable.
This is why I don't understand the resistance to change and to be flexible in the job. This is why I don't understand why there are those teachers who won't give their all to make a difference to their practice and, ultimately, to their children. It's not, and never will be, an easy job…
There are teachers in Northern Ireland who are determined to abolish the myth of short days and long holidays.
There are teachers who are prepared to give everything… And then a bit more… There are teachers who are prepared to look colleagues in the eye and respond to that question:
'Why could you be bothered?'
'Why aren't you?'
Have you met Pamela?
Have you met Jacinta?
Have you met Dáithí?
Have you met Tim?
Have you met Corinne?
Have you met Amanda?
Have you met Dessie?
Have you met Heather?
Have you met Ciarna?
Have you met Simon?
Have you met Beverly?
Have you met Donna?
Have you met Heather?
Have you met Alastair?
Have you met Dessie?
Because, when you do, you'll understand why I'm proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder in this #niedcamp movement to show how important professional development is to teachers. When Sir Ken Robinson talks about 'surrounding yourself with your tribe' these are the very people he means! We are the ones who talk shop when we go out because we know that's where the best ideas grow… Why do you think there are pool tables and relaxation zones in all the best companies?
There are the 'Naysayers' who think we're foolish and letting the government off the hook. You know something, we may well be doing that but at least we're not sitting at home 'tutting' about the state of the system! We are affecting change…
We are doing something…
We are resolute in our determination…
We are growing…
You look at it, this positive militancy that #niedcamp is, showed that there are good people prepared not to be side-lined and who, ultimately, are trying to make things better for the children in their daily care.
With #Niedcamp about to launch – it is this team of teachers who are prepared to improve the lives of their colleagues, their children and teachers whom they have never met!
Because they are proud to make a difference;
They are proud of the profession;
They are proud of their professionalism.
When we think about teaching in Northern Ireland – these are the people that we should be thinking about. People who can, and do, make a difference. People who are prepared to give that extra bit to improve the lives of those around them.
This is the team that is raising the standard high – and carrying it proudly.
I look forward to #Niedcamp and how we can show that with a bit of flexibility, a positive approach and attitude; a lot of teamwork and focussed leadership – we can use one day to make a difference.

For younger students, the enhanced site features a variety of online games and puzzles meant to stress the importance of smart spending. Older students are invited to take part in several role-playing scenarios that encourage them to consider what it's like to be a bank examiner or even sit in on a meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan as he works with the Federal Open Market Committee to set interest rates. The site also contains a specially engineered search engine designed to guide educators in finding materials to help increase students' understanding of economics. A personal finance section aims to encourage more informed decisions on such topics as consumer banking, buying a home and getting a mortgage, interest rates, loans and credit, and more.

Competitive Dance Troupe – What is it?
DDH Dance Troupe is a jazz based performance team that was developed for dancers who desire to perform more often and compete in dance competitions. Members of our Dance Troupe also perform at local events and have the opportunity to attend professional dance workshops to expand their technique and style. Troupe classes are by audition only. Junior Level is for ages 9-13.5 and Senior is for ages 14-19 or by teacher recommendation / approval by Dee Dee. Dancers turning 14 by September 1st for the subsequent dance season will need to try-out in Senior Level.
We have six performing dance troupes:
- Junior Troupe I
- Junior Troupe 2
- Junior Troupe 3
- Senior Troupe 1
- Senior Troupe 2
- Senior Troupe 3
There is only room for a limited amount of dancers in each Troupe. An alternate will be picked in each Troupe level in the event that someone drops-out. The try-out is a great learning experience for all dancers, even if they may not be selected for this years Troupe!
Tryout Dates & Information 2018
Junior & Senior Tryout Dates
- Junior Level — Thursday, May 31st 4:30-6:30pm
- Senior Level — Thursday, May 31st 6:30-8:30pm
Alternate Date(s):
- Junior Alternate Date Monday, June 4th 4:30-5:45pm
- Senior Alternate Date Monday, June 4th 6:00-7:30pm
General Information:
- Before deciding whether or not to try-out, please realize that troupe does involve a commitment of attending classes and extra rehearsals regularly.
- Forms are available at the front desk. Please review the commitment form each dancer and parent are asked to sign before trying out for a position on Troupe.
- There is a $3 audition fee
- When the dancers come for the try-out, they will be asked to fill-out an information form consisting of their name, address, phone #, age, and who to contact in case of an emergency. They will be asked to select a number tag to be pinned on them during the try-outs. Ms. Dee Dee will teach a short routine to the dancers (all dancers at once). After they have practiced the routine several times they will be broken-up into groups of three or four to perform the routine in front of the judges who are established dance professionals. When all the dancers have been judged they may leave to go home. Results of the try-out will be announced soon after the final troupe try-out. Good-luck to all!
- Parents will not be allowed in the dance area during the try-outs. Thanks for your consideration.
If I was on Troupe last year, do I need to tryout again?
Yes, everyone needs to try-out even if you were on troupe last year. This gives everyone a fair chance to try-out. Also, what troupe you may or may not be selected for, is up to the judges. There is a chance that you may not be selected for Troupe this year or you may be put into a different troupe than you were in last year!

In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Ever Merciful.
Love for All, Hatred for None.
the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
August 20th, 2004
(NOTE: Alislam Team takes full responsibility for any errors or miscommunication in this Synopsis of the Friday Sermon)
Perils of indulging in nonsensical and idle talk
Huzuraba delivered today's Friday Sermon at the commencement of the Jalsa Salana Germany and gave a discourse on the perils of indulging in nonsensical and idle talk (Laghw). Citing verses 1-12 of Surah Al Muminun (23:1-12) Huzuraba stated the various steps towards seeking the pleasure of Allah and elaborated the second step as explained by the verse; that of shunning vain, idle talk. Huzuraba said the syndrome of vain talk and futile practices has become so widespread that people do not even take notice of them until the situation really worsens and one is in deep waters.
Huzuraba said the word 'Laghw' connotes all forbidden (haram), unpleasant, abominable things, in particular those relating to 'talk'. It also includes that which is permissible (halal) but which is not needed.
Explaining, Huzuraba said card games, fruit machines, collective idle chatter, criticising others is all laghw, as is playing the lottery, smoking, communal mockery and derision of others. Huzuraba said the Holy Quran teaches us to pass by anything that is laghw, disregarding it with dignity. Citing several Ahadith Huzuraba related the hazards of lying, dishonesty as well as maligning others, usurping others property. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings on him) commended forsaking something that is not needed and that with which one has no connection.
Huzuraba explained that the Internet could be a current day lughv phenomenon and some people waste tremendous amount of time on it. Huzuraba also commented on the anti-Ahmadiyya websites and advised not to waste one's time on them and not to be incited by their absurd content. He said if one felt that a particular objection on the sites needed to be addressed, one should contact our own official website who would then take care of the matter.
Huzuraba described keeping bad company whether directly or indirectly as laghw and said that a true believer should spend one's life extremely cautiously. Reading from the writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Huzuraba related that the tongue is the passageway to one's body and one whose tongue (speech) is pure stands the increased chance of closeness to Allah. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) termed tobacco as a 'smoke' that is detrimental to one's health, he warned against the perils of alcohol, calling it the principal malevolence. Huzuraba explained that in the Western countries where the consumption of alcohol is commonplace, we must exercise great caution and prudence. Huzuraba repeatedly warned against the peril of the laghw practice of smoking cigarettes leading to more addictive and dangerous intoxicants.
Referring to the Jalsa Salana Germany Huzuraba expounded that the objective of the Jalsa is the development of spirituality and establishment of virtues. For this, Huzuraba said we should pray fervently and earnestly and each person should self-analyse oneself and try and remove any idle and vain habit.
Huzuraba concluded on the prayer that may all those attending the Jalsa be the recipients of the prayers of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).

Caesar salad is one of those ubiquitous menu items. It ranges anywhere from a pre-packaged container of stale croutons and wilted lettuce at the airport to the real good stuff that's tossed tableside, to order, at the best Italian restaurants. As a result, the legitimacy of any given Caesar is sometimes questioned, let alone a vegan Caesar.
I'm always hesitant to put together a recipe that seeks to omit an inherent ingredient in a classic dish. Look at any Caesar recipe. It may be eggless. There may or may not be anchovies. Some include mustard. But there is almost always going to be parmesan cheese. That's what makes it so good.
I'm sorry to inform anyone that I haven't found the magical vegan substitute for parmesan. For many vegans, a popular alternative is nutritional yeast, which I used in this recipe. It's nutty — and, by definition, nutritious — but I wouldn't hold your breath if you're looking for an exact match. That said, I invite you to suspend your notion of what a "Caesar" salad should or should not taste like — or include. This is just a good, creamy, salty, nutty, tangy dressing with the spirit of a classic Caesar and without the eggs or anchovies. Or the parmesan cheese.
In lieu of croutons, I sometimes use chickpeas for a bit of texture and a touch of protein. I also like to use my focaccia recipe for croutons. I toss cubed focaccia in a little bit of olive oil and baking them at 375 for about 20 minutes, or until browned and crispy.
Use 1 head of chopped, crisp romaine lettuce for this salad. This will serve about 4-6 as a side, or 2-3 as an entree salad. The dressing recipe makes plenty of dressing, so store any remaining dressing in a glass jar in refrigerator. It will definitely keep for a few days, if not longer (it's never lasted long enough in my fridge for me to find out).
Vegan Caesar Dressing:
1 clove raw garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame tahini
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 scallion, white part only
1 teaspoon capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
salt and pepper to taste
Blend all ingredients for dressing in a blender until smooth. Toss romaine with just enough dressing to coat lettuce. Serve right away.

Which Star Wars Character Do People Want in Episode VII?
As had been for a while now, lots of news and speculations are flying about for Star Wars: Episode VII, and IGN has run a poll, asking readers to pick which character they would like to see in the new film.
Top 3
Bottom 3
To be honest, while I recognised them, I hadn't ever heard of Max Rebo or Malakili, but I won't miss them. Most surprising to me was, considering how even considerably dead characters were fair game as far as this poll was concerned, Jar Jar Binks didn't actually do too badly, coming in at 4.68%.

Parisian Beauty ATC Swap
As I can never tell how quickly or slowly an international item will get to its destination, I always try and get stuff on its way asap. So I started straight away as soon as I read her post. And promptly came to a complete stop the day after I had started, because I came down with the most horrible cold. I sort of surfaced from the bedroom yesterday and added bits to the ATCs and finished them off today, as I was up and about -
Wishing you all a very lovely weekend, toodlepip xxx

Oh Liz I just knew you would never be able to resist THIS swap over at Kimberley's. A favourite theme for you!
These Parisienne women look amazing adorned in those incredible hats!
These are so beautifully created with so many little exotic details.
The girls will be thrilled to receive any one of these.
I'm amazed that you are up to it yet though after being so unwell for the past few days.
Truly hope you are starting to feel back on your feet again!
Healthy hugs and love again!

Jenni Rivera's remains positively identified by authorities
The remains of singer and TV star Jenni Rivera have been positively identified and delivered to her relatives, Mexican authorities said Thursday.
Officials in the Nuevo Leon state prosecutor's office said by telephone that DNA tests had been concluded and Rivera's remains were identified. A brother, Lupillo, was on hand to receive the remains.
Four other passengers from the doomed flight and two pilots were also being identified, the officials said.
PHOTOS: Jenni Rivera dies in plane crash
"The families have been here since yesterday and are participating in the process," state government spokesman Jorge Domene said.
Rivera, 43, a famed Mexican American performer, mother of five and master of a growing international business empire, was killed Sunday when the private jet carrying her and four members of her entourage crashed near Iturbide, Mexico.
Rivera had sold 20 million albums, lived in a massive estate in Encino and was preparing to make her American network television debut and was at the height of her career.
An appreciation: Jenni Rivera was a rare voice
Her brothers arrived from Los Angeles to survey the plane crash scene. They had said held out some hope that Rivera was alive, but were prepared for the worst.
On Tuesday, Lupillo Rivera tweeted in Spanish that he was going to bring his sister home to her mother, children, siblings and fans.

It is well known that early detection helps avoid both full-blown episodes and hospital admissions.

Curative surgery is possible in less than a third of patients with biliary tract carcinoma (BTC). Most patients die of progressive cancer. This trial was designed to combine an optimal schedule of gemcitabine and cisplatin with the EGFR antibody panitumumab in patients with BTC. The primary objective was to determine the clinical benefit of this combination in KRAS wild-type (WT) BTC.
Patients with KRAS WT locally advanced or metastatic BTC received gemcitabine1000mg/m2, cisplatin 25mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle, with panitumumab 9mg/kg IV on day 1. KRAS status was determined by high resolution melt analysis PCR and confirmed with direct sequencing. The primary endpoint was objective clinical benefit at 12 weeks. The regimen was considered to be of interest if at least a 70% clinical benefit rate was achieved. Secondary endpoints included RR by RECIST v1.1; Time to treatment failure; Tolerability and safety; PFS; OS; Duration of response; CA19.9 response; QoL.
80 patients were screened, 68 were WT KRAS (85%). Of these, 48 were enrolled between 2012 and 2013, across 14 Australian centres. Baseline demographics were well balanced with mean age 62yrs (range 40-82yrs). WHO PS 0 to 1. Most common grade III/IV adverse events were neutropenia (33.3%), infection (22.9%), thrombocytopenia (20%) and anaemia (16%). In addition, acneiform rash (12.5%), hypomagnesaemia (10.4%), fatigue (10.4%), vomiting (8.3%) and diarrhoea (6.3%) were also reported. The objective clinical benefit rate at 12 weeks was 84.1% (95% CI 69.5 – 92.1%); 18 SD (40%), 16 PR (36%) and 1 CR (2%). At this early assessment the actuarial rate of progression free survival is 8.4 months (95% CI 5.6 – 16.6%). Among 45 assessable patients, 20 (44%) were responders according to RECIST criteria (95% CI 31 – 59%). Data relating to the Secondary Endpoints will be presented at the meeting.
The data presented confirms that the primary endpoint of the study was met. The combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin and panitumumab is a tolerable regimen with proven activity in our patient population. Further investigation of EGFR blockade in BTC is warranted.
All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Wellington agrees to discount fine for Bill Gates' misplaced horse poop
Bill Gates didn't get to be one of the richest men in the world by being careless with his cash.
Like most code violators in Wellington, Gates will pay only a fraction of the $148,000 in fines he racked up because of a misplaced manure bin at his Mallet Hill estate.
Code Compliance Manager Steve Koch said Monday that Gates' representatives and the village agreed to a settlement of $30,600 — an 80 percent markdown on the fines that accrued from two code violations against Gates' Wellington home, the Post's Kristen Clark reports.

Recently I was asked to review Krylon's new line of outdoor wood stain and sealer with a UV protector in a 12 OZ spray can. I was more than happy to test this new product.
I worked in shop back in early 90s that sprayed their stain on 75% of their work. I wonder why more shops didn't do this; it certainly speeded up that part of the finishing process and with the right person behind the spray gun gave great results. The only problem is the process demands an outlay of money and a little time to master the technique to get setup to spray stain, and not all stains work well when sprayed. This is why most hobbyist and small shops don't get involved with the spraying their stains.
Krylon to the rescue; Krylon has come out with a stain in their standard spray cans that will let anyone spray stain without all the hassles. I tried their product this afternoon and I can tell you, I really liked it. I made a small table for my porch out of some old 2 x 4s I had and then mounted it on a base that I made a few years ago. I was a little worried about the end gain absorbing the stain and appearing darker so I put a coat of diluted sealer on them. I sanded the top with some 100 grit on my sander. Then I sprayed a light coat on the top, starting with the edges. The can sprayed nice with its 360 adjustable nozzle that lets you change from a vertical to a horizontal flow. After I laid down a thin coat I wiped it off with a clean rag. The color was a little lighter then I was wanting and uneven. I should point out that I did not seal the top just the end gains on the edges. I let this coat dry for about an hour then I spray a second coat on this time I didn't wipe off the stain I just let it dry, doing this gave me a nice even color across the whole top without hiding the grain pattern. I left it to dry for couple of hours then checked on it and still a little tacky to the touch.
My thoughts on this product, it's easy to use and it will give you good results. I can see a lot of week end handy people using this along with crafters. It sprayed a nice even coat with no spitting and flowed nicely. Iit will save you time. I think just the time I spent staining the top without the time I waited for it to dry was about 6 minutes that includes clean up. That in its self is motivation to use it.
My only complains about the product is it only comes in a limited amount of colors for outdoor projects. I would love to see them come out with a line of indoor stains and more colors, maybe even some primary colors like red, blue, and green stains.
I plan useing this product on future projects, I have some outdoor chairs I need to build, and a trellis that needs stained and this product will be perfect for the job. So if you have some outdoor projects that you are planning give Krylon's new stain a try, I am sure you will be pleased.

I have written previously about paying for a funeral and the necessity to put plans in place but the launch of the Sun Life Direct annual Cost of Dying Report has forced me to climb back onto my soap box and write again about the perils of doing nothing.
As mentioned in a previous blog, the cost of funerals has risen again not only for the 9th year in a row but also again way above the rate of inflation.
Had you died in 2004 (unfortunate but you would have saved money by today's standards!), the basic costs of your funeral would have been £1,920. A basic funeral at today's prices would cost you (or your family) around £3,456; an increase of 80%.
That figure just covers what is commonly known as discretionary costs which includes the funeral directors fees and services, cremation or burial costs and the minster's and doctor's fees. When you start to add on other costs associated with paying for a funeral like catering and venue fees, funeral flowers and memorials, you are looking at a further £2,006. So the average total cost of dying if you then include estate administration costs is a whopping £7,622. Ouch!
The other fly in the ointment when it comes to paying for a funeral is that these costs vary greatly by region; yes as with healthcare you run the risk of the postcode lottery in life and in death. When taking all funeral costs into account, here's how it could affect you:
• Scotland £8,630
• North East £6,873
• North West £7,150
• Yorkshire & Humber £6,891
• Northern Ireland £7,798
• Midlands £7,312
• Wales £6,096
• South East & East £8,026
• South West £7,245
• London £9,556
So in addition to rugby, the good people of Wales have a lot to be thankful for!
So what is the point of all this doom and gloom? Why do people like me jump on their soap box and bang on about the cost of dying? It's because it is the one sure thing in life; it is going to happen one day to every single one of us and when it does, it will affect our families.
If you're fortunate, you may be able to rely on your savings but even then it is still worth taking 5 minutes to think things through. Will your savings be sufficient to withstand the impact of future funeral inflation? Can you see a time when you may be tempted or forced to dip into your savings pot? Taking into account the recently reported increase in the number of Over 50s with debt problems and the higher percentage of people being forced to work into their retirement years, this may be worth some consideration.
At the end of the day what you do will be dictated by your own personal situation; all we are saying is don't do nothing. Give it at least a thought; you're family may thank you for it one day!

{book review}: It is easy to regard as cheats authors who justify their observations and arguments by serially quoting those of other great thinkers in their work.
Certainly, Tobias Jones' own observations fail to compare with the likes of, for example, Mill or Milton of whom he quotes more than once. Indeed, for his part Jones remains little more than a journalistic observer, although to be fair he doesn't set himself up as anything more even if he does promise to fully embed himself within the communities he and his fledgling family temporarily immerse. Putting aside my doubt over Jones' own calibre as an original thinker there is, nonetheless, still some net gain to be had from his choice of quotations and concepts. What does it matter that we didn't obtain such learning directly? Isn't that the purpose of non-fiction: to observe remarkable things – not necessarily new things – and communicate these to us clearly within the context of a coherent theme? So, I chose to forgive Jones these initial misgivings.
Unfortunately, considering Jones the writer I was more than occasionally bored by his text. Even more so by his rather formulaic structure. Each chapter of 'Utopian Dreams' considers a different community and then as one progresses, quickly we see chapter upon chapter taking a familiar pattern: i) introduce a community through its idiosyncrasies, ii) delve a little into its past, its attitudes and aims, and then iii) deconstruct it through concepts like freedom, the value of work, or the very nature of what a community is or can be. Then finally, iv) move on to the next community in vain hope of addressing this new-found lacking, and in doing so regard the former community with a slight yet condescending derision.
Nonetheless the notion itself is highly compelling and fortunately each chapter doesn't linger and nor does Jones. For our attention we get to see and learn a little about an Italian new-age retreat which even has its own recognised currency (Damanhur); a Quaker retirement Community (Hartrigg Oaks) and its proximity to the Rowntree Trust; a monastery in the Nomadelfia and a place for social rehabilitation in Pilsdon.
Regrettably – as a secularist and socialist – I found little hope in the communities on offer inasmuch most appeared based on faith of one kind or another. Even with my respect for Quakerism and each community's liberal attitudes towards education and communalism per se, Jones presents the case that all were founded on some form of supernatural core (and that includes the New Age). This is a disappointing but unconvincing conclusion: I simply don't believe it to be true that a successful community needs faith at its core. It may be a characteristic of those communities Jones visits, but I don't believe communalism as a concept and way of living has this as an absolute requirement.
Jones himself alludes to secular leanings, but I think he's got doubts and is himself searching for a belonging of one kind or another. While he explores the role of faith to his somewhat unconvincing degree, he can't deny his choice of communities speaks volumes in itself. At one point he even misunderstands or misrepresents the concern of Richard Dawkins on the subject of devoutly religious communities (p.203), as opposed to communities per se and that is either just too sloppy or suspiciously convenient for me.
Mr. Jones is at his best when considering existential issues like freedom. It might seem a logical place to start being such a fundamental principle for breakaway communities looking to escape the clutches of the state and big business, and as such one might expect it to be the theme of Chapter One, but actually it only appears in chapter 4 (of 6).
Freedom is the paradox of communalism. It offers freedom from the established norms of post modern society – a breakaway of the strangle-hold of modernity and social decay writ large, but at the same time communalism requires that we deny ourselves some personal freedoms in order to live amongst and with one another (to varying degrees depending on the nature and structure of the community). Indeed, it is building communities that we set out to purposely challenge, to the benefit of mutual cooperation, unfettered freedom and its modern byword: choice.
Here is Jones on this individual freedom versus community paradox: "Logically, they are opposites. Community is a place…where you take chunks out of your individuality in return for a place where you fit in. You sacrifice personality but get belonging. But a true community, they said echoing Weber, would be an iron cage. The cost of company, said everyone from the Stoics onward, is a reduction of freedom." But if that freedom is the freedom for others to feed a shallow form of attainment through this new world of fake choices, then our current affluence is a rather depressing one.
Indeed, Jones rightly observes that creating a struggle between the two forces may itself be a fallacy; "I still thought the two could be complimentary. The trouble is that nothing is currently allowed to complement freedom. Freedom has become akin to a flag, raced up the pole to test our loyalty to it. Freedom has become one of those words which is hoisted to end all debate." citing the US military operation entitled 'Enduring Freedom' as a poignantly trite example. The point is further qualified by his quoting Chesterton: "Most modern freedom is at root fear…It's not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities."
Jones admits his work is a journal-like foray into shared communities which takes accident and reactive pondering as its guide rather than any structured approach. I'm not entirely convinced this is of benefit to the work and would even have preferred a more academic text. Indeed, I suggested to the popular philosopher and author Alain de Botton that he instead take up the challenge, recommending 'Utopian Dreams' as a signpost: de Botton, I'm sure, would really get underneath the rock Jones alludes to – but only de Botton would eloquently examine the grubs and shoots that really lie beneath. Alain replied saying he'd ordered the book off Amazon, so we'll see. Alain's already published on work ('The Pleasure and Sorrows of Work') and what's now called affluenza ('Status Anxiety') so the idea of communalism could offer a solution to both those anxieties.
Certainly, it is my opinion that utopian views of the world are welcome in a time lacking ideology. And what is a utopia other than an idea or a set of visualised hopes shared and brought to life through living in a certain shape of society? A statement that 'we can do better than this – and here's how'. Jones's most consistent and attractive offering for a Utopian dream is, aside from those theistic allusions, to live more simply and to do so alongside one another instead of in spite of each other.
Jones – rightly in my mind – is repulsed by our post-modern consumerist society; it's his reason' d'être for the entire project…
'Our society now bears all the scars of decades of failure to teach those gentle virtues of gratitude and obligation. In an ideal community, the onus for you to take responsibility for other people is borne out of a thankfulness that someone, here, has taken responsibility for you. It's symbiotic, joyous almost, because your relationship is based on love. In contemporary Western society, however, the instinctive mood is vindictiveness born out of years of being told one is a victim. Complaint becomes knee-jerk, litigation second nature. We can be spiteful to people because we'll probably never see them again.'
And yet this is the very world to which he returns at the end of his 'search for a good life'. How thoroughly depressing.

Floor saws are a concrete cutter's best friendPublished 16/11, 2017 at 14:43
Floor sawing jobs are bread and butter for professional concrete cutters. Well aware of that fact, manufacturers work hard to meet their needs with ever more compact and lightweight yet powerful machines. PDi's Andrei Bushmarin reports on the latest products in the floor sawing sector.
Alba releases CJP500 Compact
ALBA - the Spanish manufacturer of light construction equipment based in Bilbao - is currently fine-tuning a new floor sawing system called "CJP500 Compact". Designed to carry diamond blades of up to 500mm in diameter, it boasts a host of new features that make its operation simple and smooth. The cutting depth is controlled by a wheel with a depth indicator screen, while a 30l plastic water tank, with a refrigeration system, routes cooling water to the saw head.
The floor saw is powered by a Honda 13CV motor and is equipped with a number of special features, including an emergency stop button and a stop position brake pedal. The machine's compact design with a foldable handlebar allows transportation in any commercially van. The machine is now in prototype stage, with the launch projected for early 2018.
Cedima launches
new model with bevel cutting option
Following discussions with users at BeBoSa, Germany-based Cedima has launched a new model featuring a bevel cutting device. Designed for dry applications, the CF-2020 T allows cutting wall and curb flush joints with up to 7° bevel-cut without using cooling water. Dust generated during operation is collected by a powerful dust extraction system. Boasting a maximum cutting depth of 110mm, the CF-2020 T permits cutting at 7° angle to the depth of 88mm. An electro-hydraulic system with a cutting depth indicator controls the lowering and lifting of the saw blade. The adjustable handles and a vibration- decoupled kick ensure comfortable operation.
Norton Clipper adds two models
A company within the Saint Gobain Group, Norton Clipper, has added two electric models to its floor saw range. Featuring a heavy-duty frame and a handlebar equipped with vibration absorbers, the CS451 E and CS451 ET offer a vibration level 40% lower than the previous C99 model. The adjustable handle height for all cutting depths ensures an ergonomic working position, while the CS451 ET model can be fitted with a dust extraction hose plug to reduce the risk of dust inhalation.
The continuous depth control with hand wheel and gauge allows for quick, easy and accurate setting. The maximum cut depth of the CS 451 E model is 170mm, whereas for the CS451 ET it is 125mm. There is the option of twin blade mounting and connecting a water hose to allow for wet cutting operations on the CS451 El. These models are now available in Europe.
A compact walk-behind from US Saws
The compact and lightweight air-powered utility saw FSB-150 from North American cutting and surface preparation company US Saws, is designed for small-scale projects where contractors use a compressor to run jackhammers or other pneumatic tools.
With a 175mm cutting depth, the walk-behind saw is reported to be a success with street crews doing pothole and spot repairs and interior demolition work. The FSB-150 saw is a perfect choice when contractors face tasks like moving water lines, drains and floor chases where petrol-powered tools are banned. Dust is controlled through a water feed, with a water tank kit available as an option.
extends electric-powered range
The German company Kern Deudiam used the show BeBoSa to introduce two new electric models powered by a 7.5kW motor. Accommodating a diamond blade of up to 700mm in diameter, the smaller KDF700-7.5E provides a cutting depth of 280mm. Its bigger brother KDF800-7.5E has a cutting depth of 330mm when working with a 800mm blade. The new machines' compact design of 620mm in width and weight of 135kg without a blade guard, and the option of using the diamond blade on either side of the cutters, contribute to the flexibility of operation.
Merit to debut a
Tier 4 model at World of Concrete
Merit Engineering and Equipment Company will debut the M600SS-56HP-D floor saw at the World of Concrete in January 2018. It is the company's first Tier 4 model in a growing line of diesel floor saws. It is compliant with EPA and California Air Resources Board emission standards and boasts a sleek, compact design and fuel efficiency.
"Unlike other Tier 4 engines that use DPF filters and consume more fuel, our model uses the DOC filter, which offers no fuel waste and provides low or no maintenance to the emissions components," said Merit chief engineer Juan Vielma.
Merit Engineering and Equipment Company specialises in designing and manufacturing saws for professional concrete cutters. Each saw is handcrafted from high-quality materials that are machined and assembled in the USA.

Toddlebike Review
This spring we were asked to be part of the Toddlebike Trial 2013. A Toddlebike is a great little bike for toddlers and is a cross between a balance bike and a normal toddler bicycle. We had bought Jelly Baby a really expensive balance bike for her 2nd birthday but she wouldn't go anywhere near it as I think she was scared about the lack of balance that she had on it – so we figured that she needed an intermediate stage.
This is exactly where the Toddlebike comes in. It is made of a really lightweight plastic, and comes in a bright colour option or pink. It is small and light enough for Jelly Baby to carry it wherever she wants to go and it provides enough balance on it's four wheels to make her feel secure and safe. She scoots around on it very happily and I think it is perfect for giving her confidence ready for the next stage of bike.
Because of it's small, light design it can be used in the house or in the garden, and Jelly Baby will frequently carry it between the two herself. It fits easily into the car for transporting to friend's houses / school / the park and is so light it is easy for mummy to carry when Jelly Baby gets tired!
They are available online here for the bargain price of £23.95 including free UK p&p and they come with a 3 year guarantee.
Disclosure: I was offered the Toddlebike at a slightly reduced price for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.

Man's Angry Open Letter to Coca-Cola
Have you encountered the issue of not being able to find your name on a Coke bottle? Well if so, you're not alone.
It is evident, that there's a long list of names which Coke fails to recognise in their campaign "Share a coke with..."
Dedicated Coke drinker, DJ Staffy, whose name is Avalon has posted a complaint on Coca Cola Nigeria's Instagram photo which has rallied a lot of support.
In his letter he gives the company three days to get it together and send him a "share a coke" bottle with his name on it, or else he will be tearing up his membership and going over to Pepsi.
Read his full letter here.
The MD/CEO Coca Cola Nigeria and Worldwide
Let me start by saying a 'Big kudos' to your company for a fantastic idea, "Share A Coke". It's indeed an awesome innovation!
But then let me quickly bring to your notice that following the wonderful strategy of share a coke, collect a coke or buy a coke, whatever name you call it. Where someone's name is written on the (plastic) Coke bottle or Can.
I have noticed with total dismay that 'Nobody Has Shared or Bought any form or shape of Coke for me'! And this is because, according to my little research, your company hasn't deemed it fit to include my name, Avalon, on your 'Share A Coke' production plans. This is grossly unacceptable! Considering the fact that i own several t-shirts with an inscription of the above brand and I am a bonafide card carrying member of the Coca Cola drinking family, because I have been drinking Coke since I was born. This thing is painful!
Having presented this case of deliberate exclusion of my name from the 'Share A Coke' strategy which has denied me of my 'Customer and Membership Right' respectively, I would like to use this medium to request at this point, that your company should, as a matter of urgency, produce some bottles of Coke with my name, boldly written on it "AVALON", in whatever shape or size, so that people can share at least a bottle of Coke with me occasionally, if not daily.
Please, kindly note that if after 3days from the day this letter must have gotten to you, and I'm yet to see anybody share a coke with me, I'll publicly tear my Coca Cola membership card and make sure I invite ChannelsTv to cover it, then I and my family, relatives and anybody that knows me will stop drinking Coca Cola no matter how many times your advert plays on TV/Radio.
Thanks as I anticipate your timely response.
Yours faithfully,
Apparently Coke is taking the complaint very seriously and will be shipping Avalon his special edition Coke bottle out to him soon!
Unique named people have got to unite!

Brian Michael Bendis, with the aid of the ever-talented Stuart Immonen, masterfully pits Wolverine, Kitty Pryde and the original X-Men against Mystique and an entire Hydra squadron in "All New X-Men" #14. Through a handful of his major players, Bendis fluidly navigates this issue with his quick wit and style. "All New X-Men" continues to impress with its solid balance of drama and pure, unadulterated fun.
In his "New Avengers" run, Bendis showed his strength in working with large groups; that same strength shows up prominently in this issue. With such a big cast of characters, the issue ran the risk of becoming too crowded and chaotic, especially with the flurry of action. However, Bendis gives each character a moment to shine. The shifting focus feels natural and ramps up the adrenaline for the classic X-Men's first real fight in the new era. After watching them settle in their new time, it's fantastic to finally see them in action, gleefully working together to face a familiar kind of fight.
Even with characters as established as these, Bendis makes their voices and relationships seem fresh, new and exciting -- particularly with Jean Grey, whose acceptance of her psychic ability continues to rise to scary new levels in each issue. With Jean, every action comes as a genuine surprise as she swings wildly between cold control, inexperience and regret. From this issue's dramatic opening to ominous conclusion, her thoughts and motives are shrouded in mystery. Her intriguing development, especially in the eyes of the other characters, absolutely steals the show.
In antithesis to the adults and their knowledge of the future, the young X-Men act accordingly: like teenagers. Even in the face of danger, their voices maintain a need for acceptance paired with youthful enthusiasm, from younger Hank's desire to keep Silver Samurai's sword to the Summers brothers' tender moment. The issue also laid ground for characters who don't usually meet to interact with one another, even briefly -- like the younger Iceman's hilarious exchange with Thor. Throughout all of their responses, the classic X-Men bring hope and a refreshing new outlook to this dark anti-mutant world.
Immonen's work on the issue is consistently fantastic. He captures the classic X-Men's youthful voices in their expressions, especially with young Iceman. Massive amounts of detail are evident in every panel and the fight flows easily from one scene to the next; the issue feels more like a movie than a comic in its fast pace and action. Colorist Marte Gracia compliments Immonen's style, bringing the book to life through its vibrant, cheerful colors. However, the layout occasionally confuses; some two page spreads have simply too much going on, which trips a reader up over what way the scene should be read.
Bendis and Immonen add another great chapter to "All New X-Men" -- their characters look and sound genuine; their world, large but fun and familiar. With its tricky concept, the book could easily have lost its pizzazz after a few issues, but Bendis and Immonen keep going strong with brilliant storytelling and strong characters. "All New X-Men" is a pure delight.

Altınordu youngster Berke Özer is set for a switch to Manchester City, Sport Witness understands.
Sport Witness have been informed by a source close to Altınordu that Manchester City officials have already secured Berke Özer and he'll join his new club when he turns 18 years of age. Manchester City will pay £2m for the young goalkeeper, who's been dubbed as a 'Turkish Donnarumma'.
The Turkish youngster has been closely followed by Manchester City, and scouts from the Premier League side have been present at Turkey's U17 Euro Championship games. The English side are a familiar club to Turkish academies after they signed Enes Unal from Bursaspor two years ago.
The 16-year old goalkeeper is the first player born in the 2000's to feature in the Turkish leagues this season after his debut game against Boluspor in the second tier. The youngster has played two games for the senior team in this campaign and has been a regular on the bench.
Altınordu's academy has produced some very good players in recent years, including Cengiz Under, who's currently at Basaksehir. The Turkish club also sold Çağlar Soyuncu to Bundesliga side Freiburg at the start of the season for €2.5m.

Unions ramp up regional advertising campaign against Grylls' privatisation agendaFriday 14 Oct 2016
Unions representing thousands of electricity workers will ramp up their advertising campaign in Bunbury and the South West this weekend, targeting new Nationals leader Brendon Grylls' plan to privatise Western Power.
Radio commercials will air on both AM and FM stations, complemented by print and online advertising in the lead-up to the State Election in March.
A community town hall meeting will also be staged in Bunbury on Sunday, October 23, to discuss the ramifications of the Liberal National Government's planned privatisation of Western Power.
Local Labor and Nationals candidates for next year's State Election, Don Punch and James Hayward, will be joined by Western Power employees for a panel discussion on the government's plan to sell the publicly owned asset. Liberal candidate Ian Morison has given his apologies for the event.
WA Labor Energy Spokesperson Bill Johnston MLA will also be part of the panel.
Electrical Trades Union WA Branch Secretary Les McLaughlan said the Nationals' support for privatisation would come at great cost to regional communities.
"Regional communities have the most to lose from the privatisation of Western Power because Western Power currently funds the Tariff Equalisation Fund, which subsidises the cost of power outside of Perth," he said.
"If Western Power is sold, it is highly unlikely that the new private owner will continue to support regional communities in this way, and regional power bills will go up.
"Regional WA also has the most to lose from the cuts to maintenance budgets that will occur as the new private owner of Western Power looks to reduce costs and boost profits.
"Cuts to maintenance budgets will mean longer waiting times to fix faults, and will inevitably increase the risk of bushfire."
Australian Services Union WA Branch Secretary Wayne Wood said the campaign would highlight the likely impacts of the privatisation of Western Power upon regional communities.
"Mr Grylls and the WA Nationals are now singing from the same song sheet as the Liberals, and are clearly planning to sell out communities in the regions," he said.
"Our campaign is deliberately targeting electorates that the National Party is trying to defend against, or pick up from, the Liberal Party. Behind the phony public debate, the Liberals and Nationals are united in their enthusiasm to privatise Western Power, and we'll be making sure voters in regional electorates are fully aware of this.
"The Nationals WA need to stand up for what's in the best interest of WA's regional communities and leave WA's electricity system in public ownership."

from American Scientist
March-April 2012
In rural Ghana, stingless bees are well known as useful animals. Farmers raid natural hives to collect honey, which they use to treat ailments from eye infections to asthma. Many say the bees improve crop yields, and people refer to different species by their indigenous monikers. (The tifuie, for instance, is named after its tendency to get caught in people's hair.) Despite farmers' familiarity with these small bees, however, "they had no idea that they could bring them home and culture them and keep them," says entomologist Peter Kwapong.

30 years ago, on September 13, 1985, Nintendo released "Super Mario Bros." for the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
The game was only released in Japan at first, though it of course went on to massive worldwide success: the birth of an icon the likes of Disney's Mickey Mouse, or McDonalds' Ronald McDonald.
In celebration of the 30 years of Mario being a favorite of kids and adults alike, Google has embedded an especially good Easter Egg into its search engine results.
Go ahead and type "Super Mario Bros" into Google. We dare you!
See that blinking question mark box? Go ahead and click it. We double-dog dare you!
See that "200?" That's an active question mark box, right there in the Google search results. Click it and it gives you a coin, worth 200 points. It even makes the coin noise from the original game. Should you click it 100 times, you'll earn non-existent Mario an extra life.
Nintendo's celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Super Mario Bros." as well, but in its own way.
First and foremost, the amazing (and amazingly referential) "Super Mario Maker" launched on the Wii U on September 11. Second, and potentially more interesting to longtime fans, is a video Nintendo published over the weekend showing Nintendo veterans (from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto to Nintendo general manager Takashi Tezuka) discussing their long histories working on Mario and other iconic characters.

Thirty seconds devoted to the man

a sense of completion as he

I was wondering how many
others would pick up their pens

At the June committee week, I learned that the society is planning
to change its name to ASTM International.
I am afraid that such a name change is necessary. Standards are
obviously becoming more international, no matter what ASTM does.
ASTM is therefore at risk of becoming a subsidiary body whose
sole purpose is to feed standards to ISO or some other international
group for final worldwide approval. I believe that ASTM has a
better standards development process which can develop superior
standards faster with the interests of the actual standards users
represented better than any competing process can do. To bring
this process to the world, we have to change our orientation and
let the American Society for Testing and Materials become a name
known only to historians.
But I do not like the idea of losing all reference to a meaningful
name in another blur of initials. SAE is no longer the Society
of Automotive Engineers, and ASM is no longer the American Society
for Metals, but we dont have to go that way. We can pick a name
that introduces us and that explains our purpose to business executives,
politicians, news reporters, and other important people who dont
always know us, and we can do it without changing our familiar
I have no complaint about ASTM International as a short form of
our organizations name. But lets agree that the initials mean
Association for Standards and Test Methods.
C. Nelson Schlatter
Membership Secretary,
F23 on Protective Clothing
Mr. Schlatter,
Thank you for your comments about the impending change to ASTMs
name. As you suggest in your final paragraph, alternative names
using the initials ASTM have been seriously considered. While
some suggestions such as yours nearly met our goal of better defining
the organization, a tagline approach was preferred, so that
efforts to define ASTMs strengths would not be constrained by
having to choose words that form the acronym ASTM. Hence, future
ASTM publications, letterhead, promotional material, and so forth
will bear a new logo for ASTM International, along with a tagline
that defines what we do best. The logo and tagline development
are in process as I write, and will be unveiled very soon. (Editor)
What It Takes to Be Global
I read with a lot of interest Joan Sterlings article, Going
Global (SN, June 2001). She clearly reviewed the reasons for
going global in term of standards: new technologies allowing
companies to market products around the world but whose export
could be limited by local standards, burdens that multiple standards
create in term of logistics and costs, and so on. Based on this,
she advocates for the use of global standards.
As she rightly points out, new technologies such as telecommunications
are leading the way for international standardization, due to
the lack of deep-rooted differences in regional standards.
Although it is more difficult for mature businesses, for example
apparel, all the advantages of global standards apply to any business.
Many brands in apparel are global, and the ones that are not yet,
are moving quickly in this direction. At the other end, the supply
chain is getting global, with a worldwide sourcing base, and certainly
apparel is a good example for this as well.
Still we are facing too many differences between standards (ASTM/ISO).
Ultimately, standards are developed to ensure quality to consumers.
As such, a difference in terms of standards is justified only
if this is related to a difference in consumer habits (e.g., in
textiles: the washing machine). All other differences create complexity
in the global supply chain without providing the advantage to
better protect the consumers.
Joan Sterling writes: For international standardization to be
successful, standards developing organizations, regulatory bodies,
and manufacturers around the world need to work together.
I would be highly interested to exchange thoughts from SDOs, regulatory
bodies and manufacturers about this approach.

Tratnyek Appointed Associate EBS Department Head
09/18/07 Portland, Ore.
The Department of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems has announced the appointment of professor Paul Tratnyek, Ph.D., as Associate Department Head.
Department Head Brad Tebo, Ph.D., made the appointment effective July 1, 2007, in order to bolster the department's focus on academics. Tratnyek will be the primary departmental contact for academic issues, and will be charged with developing new policies and ushering in some long-planned degree programs designed to meet evolving student needs, among other projects. In addition, Tratnyek will fill in when the Department Head is traveling or conducting research at sea.
Regarding the appointment, Tebo said that Tratnyek was particularly well-suited for the position "because he cares so deeply about the School of Science & Engineering and the department." In addition, Tratnyek--who has been affiliated with the school since 1991--has a long institutional memory that provides an ideal complement to Tebo, who joined the school in 2005.
One legacy of the department's past is the continuing evolution of the merger between the Department of Environmental Science & Engineering and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. That merger, which took place in 2001, created a unique department with research across the spectrum of environmental systems--from proteomics and genomics all the way to observations and predictions about entire ecosystems.
That breadth is one of the things that attracted Tebo to the Department of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems. It's also one of the areas he plans to have Tratnyek highlight in his new role. "One of the defining characteristics of the educational experience here," said Tebo, "is exposure to a variety of scales--particles, cells, molecules, microbes, ecosystems. Students graduate equipped not only with a deep understanding of their chosen discipline, but also with a powerful sense of how that knowledge fits into other systems."
As Associate Department Head, Tratnyek will be able to further elaborate the academic opportunities derived from the merger that created the department. He will also build the policy infrastructure necessary to support those opportunities. Finally, with several new degrees under consideration by the department--including environmental information technology, environmental observation and prediction, and environmental and biomolecular systems--Tratnyek will play a key role in helping shape what options will be available for future students.
Tratnyek became a full professor in the department in 2005, after having served as assistant professor ('91-'97) and associate professor ('97-'05). He is an affiliate scientist with the Center for Groundwater Research and the Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction, both based at OHSU.
As an environmental chemist, Tratnyek is perhaps best-known for his research describing the chemistry of zero-valent iron (ZVI) remediation, an approach that uses granular iron particles to clean up polluted groundwater. More recently, working with colleagues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, he has examined the efficacy of iron nano-particles in environmental remediation. He received the OHSU Faculty Senate Award for Collaboration, in recognition of his efforts to spur interdisciplinary education as well as his focus on building collaborative research programs in nanobiotechnology.

I am so grateful for the interest she took in me and my work and this beautiful book she put together. The hard copy version is even more stunning and allowed me to see my own work in such a different light. Her documentation of my space and my process, each piece being close to completion at the time, was executed with such passion and fine tuned instinct. The whole experience was a privilege to be a part of and added an unexpected and wonderful surge of inspiration into the final stages of the work.

Review for Eudora
Eudora 5.1
The best feature of Eudora 5.1 is that it is a fully self-contained program. It does not rely on windows and runs in windows.
Crashes etc caused me much greif until discovered you could save Eudora 5.1 in it's entirity(sp) to a another disk, like a zip disk, and it would run fine.
Prior to formatting I save it to a disk and then put it back when I'm done.
I've been checking out V.7 and it won't transport like 5.1. V.6 seems to at this point, but I'd have to buy the key.
5.1 is bought and paid for and I really can't see any reason to upgrade for the reasons stated above.
I love it!
Eudora overall
I've used Eudora since version 1 and have never had a problem. They Excel at email support.

Different environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, deforestation and biodiversity loss have one thing in common, namely humans as the main reason behind their creation. The more people means sadly more environmental issues, and the latest UN report says that world population could reach 11 billion by the end of the century.
World is yet to unite on solving major environmental issues, and things will become more harder with more people involved. The growth of human population is sadly the topic that has gone off the world's agenda in favor of other major global issues, such as climate and poverty, despite more than obvious interconnection between these issues.
The factor of better education is vital in this whole equation. Better education leads to better family planning, and this is something that should become priority among the developing countries. Education is not only key to family planning but to global environmental protection because educated people are more likely to comprehend the magnitude of current environmental issues.
Of course, tackling poverty and hunger still remains a necessity. It is easy to understand why poor and hungry people care very little for environment surrounding them. When your only concern is how to survive the day the last thing you worry is whether the air you breathe and water you drink is clean and is climate really changing or not.
Global population reached 7 billion in 2011. With new, improved policies there could be enough resources for all of us, which would no doubt lead to better environmental condition of our entire planet. However, seeking for global justice in this world of ours is nothing but an utopia, a sweet dream that ceases to exist once you open your eyes.
The environmental issues are just one of the many examples proving that our society still needs major upgrade before fulfilling the role of guardians on this planet. So far, it looks like our mission was more destroy, rather than guard. We keep forgetting that Earth is still our only home.
