When: 10th & 11th October 2017 at 8pm
Where: Jacksons Lane, 269a Archway Road, London N6 5AA
£: Tickets cost £10 – £18.95 (suitable for ages 12+)
What is it?
Two Nepalese performers will use skills forced upon them as child slaves in Indian circus to stage the heart-rending tale of their lost childhoods in the London debut of As a Tiger in the Jungle.
Performing at Jacksons Lane on Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th October, circus artists Renu Ghalan and Aman Tamang present the harrowing story of being taken from their families – the 'tiger' representing child traffickers – and the inspiring account of their ultimate triumph over adversity.
Circus will mix with spoken word and ceremony in the artistically innovative piece, in which the two Nepalese aerialists – specialising in straps, acrobatics, silks and double hoop – are joined by Loan TP Hoang, a Norwegian-Vietnamese movement specialist.
When Renu was five years old and Aman was six, they were taken from their Nepalese villages and sold into circus across the Indian border, where they faced beatings and emotional abuse amid exhausting four-show days.
They were eventually rescued – Aman at the age of nine and Renu when she was 14 – by members of ChoraChori Nepal, a charity set up to secure the freedom of Nepalese child slaves.
Renu and Aman joined a group of ex-circus slaves who decided to make positive use of the skills once forced upon them to form Circus Kathmandu, dedicated to making socially conscious, contemporary circus; as opposed to that of the traditional Indian circuses from which they had been freed.
The 11-person Circus Kathmandu developed their intense circus training into artistic expertise with help from 50 international volunteers, including Ali Williams, who joined the company in 2013 for a year-long sabbatical. She worked with Sverre Waage from Circus Xanti to arrange an international tour for Circus Kathmandu's first full-length show, Swagatam ('Welcome'), which included stops at the Circus Village Festival and the Circus Big Top at Glastonbury Festival.

Fall Fire
Yoga Discovery: Fall Fire
After a couple of intense and mind altering festivals this summer I returned to the city with a new perspective as well as an extremely open heart and mind. I felt as though I had been creatively opened and ideas were pouring out. I finally began to write a short story that had been in my thoughts for awhile and I wrote with more ease and determination than I have in a while. Even my home yoga practice was more fiery.
After a few weeks of this I woke up one morning feeling different. Even though it was the same time I got up every morning, this morning was noticeably darker and my once flowing creativity seemed to be drying up. It was chilly when I stepped outside and for the first time in months I had to wear a sweater on my walk to work.
I decided then and there that I wouldn't slop into my usual routine of feeling sorry for my lack of creative zest and instead take in the inspiration that Autumn had to offer. I had an extreme outpouring of energy at the end of summer and it was obvious that now I was in need of some rejuvenation. I went to few restorative classes and brought that restorative intention into my own day to day. I also fought off the urge to binge eat comfort foods when the weather turned and stayed true to my usual diet. Even getting caught up in others contempt of cooler weather didn't tempt me. Within a couple days I was already feeling that familiar urge to write again as well as expand my teaching schedule.
But when winter does move forward and my attaire progresses from flip flops to rain boots there can still be inspiration and a firey restorative practice. It took me some time to realize it but don't need arm balances and chair pose to keep me warm. There can be just as much fire in a restorative practice or in a moment at my desk in the middle of the day if that is the intention.
– Kapalabhati Breath
A valuable pranayama that I seem to have abandoned through the summer. Now its a part of each day in my practice as well as times that require a bit more fire. It also inceases concentration, massages internal organs of the chest and abdomen, and aids in increasing the lung capacity and function. Click above for more benefits.
Sometimes things are provided to us when we need them the most and I am grateful for the "skull shining" reminder.
– Short supported childs pose flow
The supported childs pose is the beginning and end of this mini flow that helps to stimluate the heart as well as offer the opporunity to restore and relax. It also aids in clearing the sacral chakra or Swadhisthan Chakra: The second chakra is the chakra of creativity, pure attention and pure knowledge. It is the one which connects us to the inner source of inspiration, and enables us to experience the beauty around us.
Move from the supported child's pose to downward facing dog and wild thing
Transition into 3 sun salutation (at your own level) The fluidity of this sequence is particularly beneficial for your second chakra.
Make your way gently back down to the earth from your last downward facing dog and back into supported child's pose. Remain here for 10 to 20 breaths, maybe also circling or rocking the hips before finding corpse pose.
Enjoy the opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation and when you return back to life allow the spirit of creative energy flow.
The light of creative energy is within us all, sometimes it just needs an extra spark.

In Memory of Benazir BhuttoDecember 27, 2007
Despite some human flaws, she was Pakistan's best hope for democracy and the world's best hope for peace.
Her assassination illustrates the dangerous idiocy of the Bush/Cheney decision to virtually abandon the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan in order to pursue the "sweet oil" of Iraq.

Today's show — the last of 2007 — we look back on the best and worst moments of The Inside Scoop, which has been radio broadcast for 4 1/2 years and televised for more than two. We also take you behind the scenes to thank the staff who do a tremendous job putting on the television show and to give you some insight as to how difficult it is to put on a live, call-in, internet-streamed, television/radio show.
Happy Holidays everyone. Mark now goes on two-week vacation. The next live Inside Scoop will be Sunday, January 6, when Mark and Republican Mike Lane will discuss and debate the result of the Iowa caucuses and the prospects for the New Hampshire Primary two days later.

First Hour Audio
Two More Hours on Bob Kincaid's show
Christmas is around the corner, and there are two subjects you are not supposed to talk about in polite company: religion and politics. I deal with politics every day. So why not go after religion?
My guest today, Darrell Bock, is a Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is an editor for Christianity Today and past president of the Evangelical Thelogical Society. He is the author of Dethroning Jesus Concepts: Popular Culture's Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ.
I've always felt that I should be able to discuss any controversial topic. Some of you will be unhappy with my evangelical guest. Some of you will be unhappy with me for questioning and challenging the basic tenets of Christianity.
But hopefully many of you will hear a conversation of respectful disagreement, where all questions may be asked and none fear the consequences of the answers. Here's your chance — whatever your beliefs — to explore the beliefs of others. I hope many of you call in.
Week in ReviewDecember 19, 2007
Why Congressional Democrats CaveDecember 18, 2007
Fundamentally, they believe in a Constitutional showdown with Bush, they'd lose.
Bush would rather have leave American soldiers without battle armor or food than bring them home. And Democrats know that Bush would be willing to allow large numbers of Americans to suffer rather than lose a political battle, just so he could get his way and blame the Democrats for the suffering. This is why, in the political game of chicken, Democrats roll over time and time again. They're just not callous enough to allow innocent Americans to be harmed. And our political system, that allows nothing to be accomplished unless Congress and the President agree, unfortunately rewards whomever cares less about Americans……

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
With the long, holiday weekend upon us, a double-feature makes sense tonight.
Two years ago, I recommended the Netflix original series, "Narcos," after its first season. Upon viewing the second season, I am going to keep recommending the series as an exciting and gripping show.
Specifically, the performance by Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar is the best acting I have seen outside of Cillian Murphy in "Peaky Blinders." In my view, Moura (a wildly popular Brazilian actor) and Cillian Murphy are currently the two top actors in the world, both in their respective primes.
So beyond the action and suspense, the way in which Moura immerses himself in this role puts the show into the recommendation category. "Narcos" is not quite an all-time series in the way "Peaky Blinders," "The Sopranos," and "Breaking Bad" are. But it deserves to be in the next tier below.
With seasons three and four coming up, however, the tide may turn without Moura. So, I am limiting the recommendation to just the first two seasons precisely based on Moura's performance. Also impressive is Pedro Pascal as real-life DEA Agent, Javier Peña.
In addition, I am going to recommend the first full season of "Sneaky Pete," a crime drama series by Amazon Studios. The show featured a pilot in the summer 2015, and after some hiccups is finally available for full viewing on Amazon Prime now. Giovanni Ribisi stars as a con man weaving his way into a family as their long-lost grandson. This show also makes for good fun with Bryan Cranston and plenty of other great character actors turning in strong performances.

GOtv Boxing NextGen search camping ends
The two-week camping period for young boxers who discovered at the GOtv Boxing NextGen Search came to an end yesterday.
A total of 28 boxers were selected from over a hundred boxers who participated in the talent hunt.
From that figure, 15 were adjudged to have shown greater potential by the judges' panel, headed by famous boxing coach, Joe Mensah.
The 15 members camped at the Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame Gym, where they underwent intensive training under the watchful eyes of top coaches.
Their camping period also took in seminar by Mr. Folorunsho Jacobs, a coordinator of the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C), African Boxing Union and World Boxing Council. Jacobs took the new entrants to the professional cadre through the technical and attitudinal requirements for professional boxing.
Some of the 15 new entrants have been selected to take part at the GOtv Boxing Night 6, scheduled for 25 of March at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos.
GOtv Boxing NextGen Search ran for three days last month, featuring sparring sessions over two days, through which the boxers were selected, a sport/medical seminar and free medical examination for licensed professional boxers.
Those selected from the exercise also had their professional licences paid for the sponsors, GOtv Boxing.
Speaking at the end of the exercise, Jenkins Alumona, CEO of Flykite Promotions, promoters of the GOtv Boxing Night, thanked the sponsors and expressed delight at the quantum of talent unveiled.

On the survey of the recent records, the fish and lamprey fauna of the River Sava catchment consists of 74 species, 15 of which being considered alien. The indigenous species diversity, explained using the relation N = 0. 546 A 0.232, fits well into the range common for large catchments in Europe. Both taxonomic and ecological diversity, as well as the character of fish communities in streams and rivers, are strongly correlated with the stream order. On the relative abundance of species in fish communities, the upper rhithron fish communities cluster distinctly from those belonging to the middle rhithron, within which several subgroups of fish communities were distinguishable. Fish communities of the middle rhithron character in streams and small rivers stand distinctly apart from those belonging to particular sections of large rivers (e.g., the Rivers Sava, Drina, Vrbas, and Bosna), with the transitional type of middle rhithron fish community in larger rivers (e.g., those in the Rivers Una and Sana) that resemble more to the fish communities common in middle rhithron streams. Fish communities in the middle section of the River Sava in Croatia and in the bordering area with Bosnia and Herzegovina mainly belong to the lower rhithron, attaining the character of potamon in the most downstream, Serbian section. River Sava's fish communities strongly interact with the ones occurring in the most downstream sections of their largest tributaries, e.g., the Rivers Una, Vrbas, Bosna, Drina, and Kolubara, which makes them very similar in structure in the areas of river mouths. Classification of fish communities based solely on the presence and absence of species revealed similar general pattern of fish community classification, though with the more sharp delimitation between those belonging to the upper and middle rhithron on one and to the lower rhithron and potamon on the other side. That was supported by the determination of fish communities belonging to the upper rhithron with brown trout Salmo cf. trutta, European bullhead Cottus gobio, and minnow Phoxinus phoxinus as the most common fish species. Fish communities belonging to the middle rhithron were determined mainly with chub Squalius cephalus and spirlin Alburnoides bipunctatus, whereas brook barbel Barbus balcanicus and stone loach Barbatula barbatula occurred in both upper rhithron and middle rhithron. Nase Chondrostoma nasus were associated with both middle and lower rhithron fish communities. The most common fish species that determine the lower rhithron fish communities were common bream Abramis brama, ide Idus idus, and bleak Alburnus alburnus, with the northern pike Esox lucius, Balon's ruffe Gymnocephalus baloni, and racer goby Neogobius gymnotrachelus as significant species explaining fish communities of both lower rhithron and potamon. The level of production of fish in the River Sava varies remarkably within the sections with the similar ecological features, as well as between the sections that differ for the type of fish community. The greatest biomass and annual natural production were recorded in the sections homing the potamon and lower rhithron fish communities, especially in the flooding areas of side arms and oxbows which serve as spawning areas and nurseries. A total of 15 alien fish species was recorded in the River Sava catchment, the Prussian carp Carassius gibelio and brown bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus being assessed the most invasive in the areas with the potamon fish community. A strong impact from both long-term and recent stocking with alien hatchery-reared brown trout strains and rainbow trout in the upper rhithron fish communities was recently recognized. Mudminnow Umbra krameri and huchen (or Danube salmon) Hucho hucho are considered the two most threatened fish species of the River Sava catchment, where various types of riverbed modifications, especially the damming, were seen the most prominent threatening factors for fish diversity.

Communicate Better: What Your Organization Needs to Know From IABC Heritage
We hear it at virtually every single event we support with visual note-taking. Communication breakdown and struggles are an epidemic! Even in this high-tech world, organizations continue to struggle with communication, both internally and externally. And as visual note-takers, we know and value the importance of good communication. At The International Association of Business Communicator's latest conference, Drive the Future, we learned how organizations can communicate better–both to customers, clients, and employees.
Communicate Better through Culture and Trust
Create a "culture club." What's a culture club? Well, we actually have one at Ink Factory! It's a team of employees from all areas of our company that meet to organize around ways that we can fulfill our values. This allows them to get involved at any level and make decisions that influence how we all work (for the better!). When employees get to influence culture top-up, we've found that they have more trust in our organization, and we are all better equipt to make our values a reality.
Consumers are in Control in the Digital Age
In this digital world, we all have more and more gadgets and apps vying for our time and attention. Employers, marketers, and managers should we must seek to understand their "consumers" (or employees) and look for opportunities to engage with them one on one. A generic one-size-fits-all message just isn't going to cut it anymore! If you want to get someone's attention, make sure your message is relevant and is sent at the right time.
Don't Underestimate The Power of SEO
Data is powerful. But interpreting that data and making meaningful moves towards better communication can be tricky! Marketers should take some time to dive into their Google analytics to see where points of friction can be reduced on their websites. The fewer friction points (like a slow-loading webpage), the more likely people are to digest your message. Include clear calls to action with your message, which will lead to better returns. And most of all, create awesome content based around keywords that are relevant to your organization.
Internal Communicators Need Humanity
Want your messages to hit home internally? Make sure you treat your employees like humans and communicate with them as such! Keep your teams updated with personal and relatable stories, and like a video of encouragement from the CEO or a weekly newsletter infused with humor.
Get creative with business communication by adding fun videos, gifs, and pictures of actual employees. Did your team have fun re-creating an episode of carpool karaoke? Sharing memorable human moments will bring your team closer, which means they'll be more likely to communicate with empathy.
Make your emails short and to the point, so you don't overload people with information. And, when presenting statistics, make them come to life with a descriptive metaphor or visual aid.
Communicate Better By Managing Your Brand
How do you make sure your brand is not only known but liked and trusted by customers and employees alike? Now that media is spread across channels, navigating how you share your messages can be a challenge. Make sure to keep your messaging focused on the value that your organization brings to people and how your organization is different.
Assess what channels should be used for what kinds of content, so you can make sure your key messages are shown to relevant audiences at the right time. And don't underestimate your employees on social! Teach them to use it and interact with your brand. At Ink Factory, our employees have the freedom to post relevant videos and photos to our Instagram stories so you can see what kind of hijinks we're getting up to throughout the day.
Of course, at Ink Factory, our favorite way to communicate is through the visual language. Making your ideas come to life through drawings means you can more easily and quickly share complex concepts throughout your entire organization, and that more people will understand those ideas! Interested in how we can help you communicate better through visual note-taking, illustrations, videos, and more? Get in touch today!

I don't paint oranges (well, I do sometimes, but they're typically mistaken for the setting or rising sun), so my two entries are in the 'open theme' category. Serendipitously they were hung close together so I am able to show them both in one photo that I took at the reception yesterday evening. The other thing that they have in common is that they did not win any prizes. Oh well. I had some interesting comments about them.
Tag Archives: National Orange Show
Success – and failure.
This month I was happy to have four paintings accepted into competitions. Two were accepted into the National Orange Show – the county fair of San Bernardino, and two of three were accepted into Co-La-La-Lage – a show of Collage Artists of America, whom I have recently joined. It just so happened that the take-in/judging for the CAA show and the reception for both were at times where I was going to be in the area. Often this is a deciding factor on whether or not I will enter a show!
After having attended a 1-day conference about financing for non-profits, as one of the advisory committee members for Moreno Valley Cultural Arts Foundation, I was able to go to the reception and awards ceremony at the fairgrounds in San Bernardino. I didn't win any ribbons but made a couple useful contacts, some for me, some for MVCAF. I was blessed with having had my paintings hung close together – and near the entry for the reception. Those were the successes. The failure was of my phone to let me know that it didn't save either of the photos I took of them to put on the blog! But here are the ones that were accepted.
If you're in the LA area – perhaps you would like to attend the reception for the CAA show which is this coming Saturday, 7-10pm at The Loft at Liz's. This time I'll make sure I have the photos on the phone!!!

There truly aren't enough words to praise Watson's Solicitors enough. Latham Parry is the most genuine, honest and compassionate Solicitor I've ever came across. He helped me when no one else would and got me the result that we where all hoping for, not only that but the result was better than ever expected. I was informed every step of the way throughout my whole case and never ever felt pressured into making decisions I weren't comfortable with. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Watson's Solicitors to anyone. They are utterly professional but still have your best interests at heart throughout the whole process. Honestly I could go on but I'll leave it there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Terrible service, Michaela was the solicitor provided, doesn't response to emails. When she does respond very vague responses not helpful at all. Didn't inform me of the completion of sale in spite me sending her an email asking for an update/ had I completed. Had a meeting to provide my ID at 8.30 at the beginning of the process I was waiting until 9 she didn't turn up. The receptionist had to take photocopies on her behalf. I used two solicitors for the sale/purchase of properties Watson solicitors were terrible compared to Fiona Bruce in Stockton Heath. Would not recommend and will not be using again.

Very poor and unproffesional service.My worst experience ever with solicitors.After talking with Danny about what i need and asking me to pay in full up front I never heard back from them.After I started calling them nearly every day and being sold same story by the receptionist ``He is not in the office,he is on the phone,he is busy ,etc...but he will call you back asap.......finally after many days calling them, a lady called me back and said she ll do the document for me.She emailed me the document with wrong information,they got wrong even my date of birth even if they have my passport photocopy.I emailed them 10 days ago about the mistakes and questions about this document but of course i got no reply from them yet.
Don t make this mistake and choose this company to work with as they just take your money then treat you with ignorance and big chances you got no work done in time and poor work as well.

I would not recommend this solicitors. They were chosen (as they were recommended to me) to complete the sale of my property this year. The dealt with a single solicitor throughout, who personally I found very rude on emails.
Her approach to dealing with my purchase was slow, and inefficient, even though she was aware we were working to tight timescales. I continually had to chase via phone & email for an update, to which I received unhelpful, and blunt responses in return.
I would not choose to use Watsons Solicitors again, and instead will be taking my business elsewhere.
If you want a quick, easy, and professional approach to your case, please do not use Watsons.

Recently we used Tom Howard of Watson Solicitors Warrington for a Licensing case. I am surprised by poor performance and lack of knowledge. Gentleman unable to speak a word in The Court, neither forward any requests.
Better to represent yourself... It was extremely poor service.

Summer Berry Meringue Roll
Posted on July 30, 2019
Watch the video for this recipe:
This summer berry meringue roll is one of the best summer desserts ever. A soft, light and airy meringue filled with a creamy mascarpone frosting and fresh berries, a perfect balance between sweet and tart. As a chocolate dessert lover this dessert surpassed my expectations as I fall in love with it from the very first bite.
Making meringue roll might seem intimidating but I must say it's even easier and faster than making pavlova. Use any fresh berries or seasonal fruits and create each time a different and surprising dessert that everybody will love. Enjoy!

|Nearby Neighborhoods
Old Stilwater is a Neighborhood in the Underground District of Stilwater.
Unlike most Neighborhoods, Old Stilwater does not appear on the map, as it is located underground. The only entrance is the old mission house in the Bavogian Plaza Neighborhood in the Red Light District
Hobos use the place, until Playa and Johnny Gat kill all the inhabitants and claim the place for the Saints.[1]
Afterwards, the 3rd Street Saints renovate a part of it to create the Saints Hideout, which is their primary base for the remainder of the game.
Although the Saints are supposed to have cleared out the bums,[1] a few still spawn outside of the Saints Hideout itself.
There are no Activities or Stores in Old Stilwater, although there are two Tagging locations.
During the mission "Down Payment", Johnny explains that an earthquake destroyed part of the city, and that the wreckage was built over.Gat talking about the earthquake
The earthquake occurred prior to Saints Row, as the area above Old Stilwater already exists in that game. The area looks to have been abandoned and destroyed in the early 40s to late 50s, given that the abandoned railcars are from around that time.[2]
Stilwater may have had several Earthquakes in the past, as the Stoughton docks are under water in Saints Row 2.
- Zombie Uprising takes place in a section of Old Stilwater, but it is not possible to leave that area without exiting the Zombie Uprising game.
- There is a fountain in Old Stilwater which is usually normal water, but while playing Zombie Uprising acts like toxic acid.
- There are skylights, or holes, visible on the ceiling above Old Stilwater, but these openings are not visible from the surface.
- There is a hotel in old Stilwater, with an art deco design, probably 50s.
- Old Stilwater is one of several underground areas that have their own separate maps and do not appear on the main map.
- Technically, all underground areas are part of a single Underground District, but this is never indicated within the game.
- In some parts of Old Stilwater there are rats squeaking.
- There is a corridor where low resolution textures are visible.[3]
- In this corridor, low-resolution civilian models sometimes appear for a few seconds, then disappear. Due to low resolution textures and lighting, they sometimes resemble ghosts.
- There is a sign for Eads N' Mitch's Flowery Garden.
- There is a sign for Tim Wasson's Tasty Wieners - a factory of the same name is located in Stoughton.
- There is a pile of trash containing a dead body, this trash pile is repeated several times through-out Old Stilwater, including just outside of both exits from the Saints Hideout, and at least 4 times in the section used for Zombie Uprising.
- Old Stilwater is the only hood defined as being controlled by a Neutral Gang.

You Will Make a Difference: Final Hoan Bridge Public MeetingPosted on
Next week Monday there will be a very important public involvement meeting (PIM in government speak) to get public comment on the WisDOT feasibility study for a bicycle path on the Hoan Bridge. It is vitally important supporters of the project turn out for the meeting to demonstrate steadfast support for this once in a generation opportunity to remove the biggest barrier in our 160 mile long Lake Michigan Trail Network from Chicago to Sheboygan. The world is run by people who show up, so please don't miss this opportunity to impact the future of Milwaukee and Wisconsin's vitality, competitiveness and world standing.
I-794 Public involvement meeting (PIM)
November 14, 2011 - Public meeting is scheduled from 5-7 p.m. at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) downtown office building 1001 West St. Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, to review the draft feasibility study report.
- Free parking available outside the building
- For bus route information, visit www.ridemcts.com
- Open house meeting with a presentation at 5:15 p.m.
- WisDOT project team will be available to discuss the analysis and receive comments
- Study does not contain a recommended alternative
- For more information and to submit a comment
- To read the draft report
Just as important as showing up is having a good understanding of the issues and making intelligent comments based on facts. The Hoan Bridge issue is often heatedly discussed in an information vacuum. In order to clear the fog of political dogma, I have provided a few responses to common objections to the project. These talking points are based on facts taken from WisDOT studies and Federal Highway Administration policies.
It's too much money
It's prudent to choose the the least expensive option, and we encourage WisDOT and the Federal Highway Administration to look at ways to lower that cost. For instance, if it saves money, bicyclists would be happy with a narrower path than the proposed 14 ft.
At $9.4 million, the least expensive alternative is less than 3% of the total $350 million Hoan redecking project, well below the FHA 20% threshold for exception to their requirement that such projects include bicycle accommodations. While $9.4 million is a an expensive bicycle project, that investment needs to be weighed against the potential return. The Hoan will remove the biggest barrier in the 163 mile-long Lake Michigan Trail Network, significantly increasing the value of these state assets.
Finally, it's also important to note that the redecking project will increase the life of the structure by 40-60 years. This investment ($350 million and less than $10 million for the bicycle connection) will provide for generations of use and value.
It is a freeway
No federal law prohibits bicycles on freeways or interstate highways. In fact, bikes are allowed on more than 40 Interstate highways and bridges in the US, including two bridges on I-94 in Wisconsin.
On the contrary, federal law actually requires the consideration of bicycle and pedestrian travel. The federal statute on bicycle planning and pedestrian planning, 23 U.S.C. 217(g), states:
(g) Planning and Design.—
- In General — Bicyclists and pedestrians shall be given due consideration in the comprehensive transportation plans developed by each metropolitan planning organization and State in accordance with sections 134 and 135, respectively. Bicycle transportation facilities and pedestrian walkways shall be considered, where appropriate, in conjunction with all new construction and reconstruction of transportation facilities, except where bicycle and pedestrian use are not permitted.
- Safety considerations — Transportation plans and projects shall provide due consideration for safety and contiguous routes for bicyclists and pedestrians. Safety considerations shall include the installation, where appropriate, and maintenance of audible traffic signals and audible signs at street crossings.
Nobody will use it
You cannot measure demand for a bridge by counting the number of people currently swimming across the river. That goes for car drivers as well as cyclists. That said, our most recent user counts on the trails that dead end at the south and north approaches of the Hoan Bridge showed 80,000 bicyclists, runners, dog walkers, roller bladers, etc. using the trails in the month of October. While not all those people will go across the bridge, it is reasonable to assume that the path will induce additional people to come, just to be able to go over the bridge.
Another strategy is to point to well‐designed bridges that have large numbers of bicyclists and walkers. Advocates in the San Francisco Bay Area got a bike path included on the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge by using bike counts on the Golden Gate Bridge: 220‐250 bikes per hour. Twenty percent of all of the traffic on the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland, OR is made up of bicyclists. New York City's bridges carry nearly 40,000 inbound cyclists per day in the spring, summer, and fall.
Traffic is too heavy to lose a lane
These are direct quotes from WisDOT's own study:
"Note that speeds on the bridge drop one mile per hour, from 53 to 52 mph due to the bikeway. The bridge is currently posted at 50 mph, so traffic continues to operate at a higher speed than the speed limit."
"In the range of traffic that we'd expect on the Hoan in 2020, 4 lanes or 6 makes no difference. The Hoan Bridge will have less traffic than any 6-lane freeway in Southeastern Wisconsin — about 1,500 ADT less than the lowest 6-lane freeway US Hwy. 41 in Germantown."
It wouldn't be safe
All studies done by the Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation say there are no safety reasons to prohibit bicycles on the bridge. The path would likely be safer than any on-street facility in Wisconsin because it will be separated from traffic with a 42 inch high concrete parapet wall. These are the same walls that separate the two oncoming lanes of traffic on the interstate. Wind has been proven not to be an issue. Wind affects bicycles much differently than vehicles traveling 50 mph.
The Bottom Line
Bicycling is good for Wisconsin. It adds $1.5 billion to the state's economy. It provides 13,000 jobs. Bicycling is one of the things that makes our state a great place to live. Cities that want to attract and retain a talented young workforce need to be vibrant, active communities. The heads of more than 40 businesses, from our largest corporations to main street storefronts, have signed letters to the Governor in support of a bike path on the Hoan because a bike path on the Hoan would be good for their businesses. Bicycling is free of politics. Conservatives ride bikes. Liberals ride bikes. Libertarians ride bikes.
Since Wisconsin built the nation's first rail trial, the Elroy Sparta in 1967, we have distinguished ourselves as a great place to bike and we have attracted visitors from around the world. Connect our extensive Lake Michigan Trail Network over the Hoan to solidify Wisconsin's reputation and enhance it's value for the next generation and beyond.

Women's Fund Grant to The Children's Home Helps Homeless Pregnant and Parenting Teens Gain Self-Sufficiency and Become Responsible Mothers
Camisha and Marcia have two very distinct stories, but the young ladies are also alike in many ways. Both are tenacious and resilient. Each has been pregnant and homeless in her teen years. And both have found stability and support for themselves and their toddlers through a residential program called My Aunt's House.
From a cozy brick building on the The Children's Home campus, My Aunt's House is designed to empower homeless pregnant or parenting teens such as Camisha and Marcia. By furnishing basic necessities, adult supervision and support services, the program helps the teens transition to independence and learn good parenting.
Not long ago, Camisha Gray was a busy 18-year-old, working two jobs and taking classes at Forsyth Tech. Then she discovered she was pregnant. Four months into the pregnancy, she was assigned to bed rest. Not able to work, Camisha moved in with the father of her child. That arrangement fizzled, leaving the young girl feeling desperate and lost.
Thankfully, Camisha found My Aunt's House. After her son Khalil was born, she and the infant began a new life together there. The going was rough at first, but Camisha persevered. She recently finished the 18-month program and moved into an on-campus apartment with Khalil. She has a part-time job and is completing studies in cosmetology.
Marcia Evans (not her real name), 15, arrived at My Aunt's House months ago with her then 13-month-old daughter, Isabella (not her real name). They'd transferred from an out-of-town residence. Marcia, whose mother is a substance abuser, had been in and out of Forsyth County Department of Social Services custody since she was 13 years old. She had no local family support system.
In time, mother and daughter settled in to life at My Aunt's House. They've since exceeded all expectations. Marcia is an honors student at Reynolds High School and plans to attend college to become a physician's assistant; Isabella is a bright two-year-old with a highly developed vocabulary.
Since its creation three years ago, My Aunt's House has provided empowerment to 38 other teens and paved the way to success for mothers and babies. In 2010, the Women's Fund awarded The Children's Home a grant of $14,850 to provide classes and counseling on life skills to teens in the program. For Camisha and Marcia, such services have been invaluable.
"I learned everything, like how to change a diaper, and time management skills," Camisha said. "The staff was always there for me. They counseled me and gave me advice on self-esteem, schools, relationships. I learned how to keep a schedule and how to budget my money. I learned how to ride the bus."
Teens at My Aunt's House are required to pursue a high-school diploma or GED, or otherwise prepare for the work world. All participants have access to a licensed child development center that operates in the basement of My Aunt's House.
"My Aunt's House is one of the few places in our area that offers pregnant teens both housing and support services," said Katisha Blackwell, the director of My Aunt's House. "Education, child care and transportation are the main barriers that the girls face as they begin the program. We address all those issues."
My Aunt's House also provides external services. Wake Forest University medical students visit the campus and present workshops on relationships and STDs. Mothers receive additional services and parenting education from Catholic Social Services' Hand-to-Hand program. Teens enjoy regular art classes and diversions such as zumba classes.
In October, Camisha "graduated" from the program and she and Khalil moved to one of two transitional apartments on the ground floor of My Aunt's House. Camisha continues to work part-time and pursue a career in cosmetology.
"I couldn't possibly have accomplished as much as I did without My Aunt's House," Camisha said gratefully.
Marcia and Isabella, too, are thriving.
"I'm so thankful we found My Aunt's House," Marcia said. "We are happier here than we were at the other residence. We have much more support and many more services."
Despite these success stories, teen pregnancy continues to be a concern in Forsyth County. Blackwell said that in 2009, the county had 808 teen pregnancies. Every day, two teenage girls between the ages of 10 and 19 become pregnant, according to the Forsyth County Department of Health. These alarming statistics came to the attention of the Forsyth Adolescent Health Coalition, a teen advocacy group, which in 2008 collaborated with The Children's Home to establish My Aunt's House.
And My Aunt's House has proven its worth — most importantly because each participating teen comes to learn that she and her child are safe, supported and encouraged every step of the way.
"In order to be successful in the program, young women have to be committed to their own success and to the program," Blackwell said. "Most come in with a good attitude and understand why it's important to finish school and go through the program. When they tell us 'I just want to take care of my baby,' they realize that My Aunt's House is their key to doing that — and so much more."Click here for information on other grantee partners of The Women's Fund of Winston-Salem.

Pleurisy (pleuritis) is an inflammation of the pleura – the lining of the chest cavity that cover the lung.
The pleura is the membrane that surrounds the lung and covers the thoracic cavity. The space between the lung and the walls of the thorax is called the pleural cavity. Normally this cavity contains a small amount of fluid (approximately 10 mL). When due to various causes the amount of the fluid increases, it is called the pleural effusion.
The most common symptom of the pleurisy is the characteristic thoracic pain.
Causes and risk factors
- The most common cause of the pleurisy is a viral infection. Coxsackie B virus, human respiratory syncytial virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, parainfluenza, influenza viruses are usually involved.
- The pleurisy may be the complication of the pneumonia or tuberculosis.
- Fungal infection may cause the pleurisy.
- Certain autoimmune disorders such as lupus, Still's disease and rheumatoid arthritis may lead to the pleurisy.
- Injuries of the chest, lung cancer, mesothelioma, pulmonary embolism, pancreatitis, peritonitis are known to cause pleuritis as well.
- The congestive heart failure results in the pulmonary stasis, which causes pleural effusion due to increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation.
- Cirrhosis and renal failure (uremia) can also cause the pleural effusion due to the decreased amount of the protein in the blood (hypoproteinemia).
- Certain drugs such as methotrexate, nitrofurantoin, dantrolene, methysergide, procarbazine may cause pleurisy. Procainamide and hydralazine are known to cause so-called drug-induced lupus syndrome.
Depending on the presence of the pleural effusion in the pleural cavity two types of the pleurisy are distinguished:
- Wet pleurisy – when there is the pleural effusion in the thoracic cavity;
- Dry (fibrinous) pleurisy – the inflammation of pleura with numerous fibrinous adhesions;
The pain characteristic for the pleurisy is called a pleuritic pain and is usually sudden sharp and stabbing. This pain worsens with deep breathing, laughing or coughing. This feeling may change with the movement and in different positions, usually it is on one side of the chest. The pain may irradiate to the shoulder or the back. In some cases the pain may be dull.
A person may breath shallow to avoid the unpleasant feeling.
Other symptoms of the disease may include the dry cough, fever, shortness of breath (dyspnoe), tachypnoe (rapid breathing), tachycardia (fast heart rate). Joint pain is typical for autoimmune disorders, enlarged lymph nodes are suggestive of malignancy or viral infection.
See also: Osgood-Schlatter disease
To make the diagnosis the following examinations:
- Blood test – leucocytosis confirms the infection etiology of the disease, some tests may be performed to verify the autoimmune disorder;
- Chest X-ray is the main method to verify the presence of the pleural effusion, the dislocation of the mediastinum and athelectasis may be seen;
- Ultrasound may be helpful to estimate the pleural effusion;
- CT scan/MRI scan may help to detect the small amounts of fluid;
- ECG is required to detect possible cardiac problems;
- Diagnostic thoracentesis – a process during which a sample of fluid from the pleural cavity to perform the analysis of the fluid. This procedure is necessary to identify the nature of the pleural effusion whether it is the pus (pyothorax or pleural empyema), blood (hemothorax), lymphatic fluid (chylothorax) or the serous fluid (hydrothorax);
- Thoracoscopy, pleuroscopy with the biopsy of the pleurae is required when tuberculosis or cancer is suspected;
Treatment of the pleurisy depends on the underlying condition.
However, the pleural effusion should be drained or removed via thoracentesis, especially when the amount of the fluid is significant.. This helps to avoid the development of pleural adhesions or the lung collapse.
When the fibrous adhesions fill in the pleural cavity thoracoscopy may be required.
The procedure called pleurodesis or pleural sclerosis obliterates the possible source of the effusion usually when it is caused by cancer.
Applicable medicines
- Aspirin, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are able to relieve the pain and cease the inflammatory reaction.
- Immunosuppressive and cytostatic therapy is required for the treatment of malignancies and autoimmune disorders.
- Antibiotics (clindamycin, ampicillin and sulbactam) are necessary when the pleuritis occurs due to bacterial infection.
- Diuretics (furosemide) are helpful to reduce the swellings and accumulation of the fluid in the thoracic cavities.
- Anticoagulants are used in the treatment of heart failure and pulmonary embolism.
- Codeine may help to relieve the coughing.

This is a rare deal and matches the previous lowest price we saw during Wirecutter's Deals Day.
How to shop for Cyber Monday smart-home gear
Smart devices are designed to make life easier. Voice-activated assistants that turn on your lights, thermostats that adjust your home's temperature when you're not around, and doorbell cameras that stream footage straight to your phone may not be essential—but they certainly are convenient.
Smart speakers, smart bulbs, smart locks, and just about everything else that you can control with your voice or smartphone will likely be on sale this Cyber Monday. With all these deals swirling in the ether, it can be hard to home in on what's a great discount and what's only pretending to be one. To help you separate the deals from the duds, we've rounded up the advice you need to shop confidently this Cyber Monday.
Smart-lighting deals were popular last year, with good prices on Wemo smart plugs and Philips Hue bulbs. This year, Wirecutter Deals editor Nathan Burrow predicts similar price drops. The Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance 2-Pack Starter Kit will likely drop to $80, while the 3-Pack Starter Kit could possibly fall to $100. Nathan also expects the Wemo Mini to drop to $18 or less. Some of the most interesting deals in this category last year were bundles that included smart speakers (such as a Google Home Mini or Amazon Echo Dot) with a smart plug or smart bulb. If you're new to voice-controlled smart speakers, a bundle like that is a great way to start—and you'll likely see some Echo-and-Philips bundles selling for anywhere between $35 for smaller bundles and $160 for larger bundles, making this an excellent time to test the smart-home waters.
Smart cameras are also popular this time of year, both as gifts and for yourself, especially if you're interested in keeping an extra eye on your front porch to prevent package theft. Last year, we saw deals on Ring doorbell cameras, along with significant drops on Nest and Arlo security cams. This year is no different, as Nathan expects good deals on Nest products, with the Google Nest Protect likely dropping to $85, the Nest Hello video doorbell dropping to $155 or less, and the Google Nest Cam Outdoor and Google Nest Hub for under $200. The Arlo Pro 2 is also expected to fall to $200.
If you've been on the hunt for a smart thermostat, Nathan expects to see deals in that category too: The Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat will likely fall to $170 or less, while the Nest Thermostat with Temperature Sensors will probably sell for $200.
Smart displays are a fairly new category, one that both Google and Amazon want to push, so we expect that deals on those items should be easy to find, especially the new Google Nest Hub and Google Nest Hub Max. Though there will be ample deals, Nathan points out that many of the early Cyber Monday deals we've seen for smart displays have come from somewhat unreliable sellers. When you're browsing deals, be mindful of who's offering them.

I am trying to take screenshots from multiple cameras(2 for now), but it isn't working. The screenshot for the 2nd camera is the same as the screenshot for the first one i.e. the screenshot for the 2nd camera is the view of the first one. Following is my script. The behaviour when using Application.CaptureScreenshot is the same.
public class ScrnshotTrigger : MonoBehaviour {
// Use this for initialization
Camera[] AllCams;
Camera[] initActiveCams;
string[] cameraNames = { "MainCamera", "MainCamera2" };
void Start () {
AllCams = new Camera[cameraNames.Length];
string s = "";
for (int i1 = 0; i1 < cameraNames.Length; i1++) {
AllCams[i1] = GameObject.Find(cameraNames[i1]).GetComponent<Camera>();
s += AllCams[i1].name + ",";
Debug.Log("Cameras in allCams: " + s);
s = "";
foreach (var cam in Camera.allCameras)
s += cam.name + ", ";
Debug.Log("Cameras in active Cameras: " + s);
initActiveCams = new Camera[Camera.allCameras.Length];
Camera.allCameras.CopyTo(initActiveCams, 0);
//InvokeRepeating("SetCamera", 0f, 1.0f);
AllCams[1].enabled = false;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
void SetCamera() {
Debug.Log("setCamera called");
// first disable all cameras
foreach (var cam1 in initActiveCams)
cam1.enabled = false;
float startTime = Time.time;
foreach (var cam in AllCams) {
Debug.Log("Camera1: " + AllCams[0].enabled + ":::: Camera2:" + AllCams[1].enabled + "::::: Main Camera:" + ((Camera.main == null) ? "null" : Camera.main.name));
Debug.Log("Processing for: " + cam.name);
cam.enabled = true;
StartCoroutine(TakeTemporaryTexScreenshot(cam, startTime));
cam.enabled = false;
Debug.Log("Processing completed for: " + cam.name);
foreach (var cam2 in initActiveCams)
cam2.enabled = true;
IEnumerator TakeTemporaryTexScreenshot(Camera cam, float startTime_init) {
Debug.Log("Camera1: " + AllCams[0].enabled + ":::: Camera2:" + AllCams[1].enabled + "::::: Main Camera:" + ((Camera.main == null) ? "null" : Camera.main.name));
string name = cam.name;
Debug.Log("Taking screenshot for :" + name);
// wait for graphics to render
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
string pathToImage = Application.persistentDataPath + "/" + name + "/" + startTime_init.ToString() + ".png";
int width = Screen.width;
int height = Screen.height;
Texture2D tex = new Texture2D(width, height, TextureFormat.RGB24, false);
// Read screen contents into the texture
tex.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, width, height), 0, 0);
// Encode texture into PNG
byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
File.WriteAllBytes(pathToImage, bytes);
Debug.Log("File name :" + pathToImage);
Debug.Log(pathToImage +" ::" +System.IO.File.Exists(pathToImage));
I am unable to understand the reason. I thought it was because cam.enabled is immediately being set to false after the coroutine is started, so I tried blocking the script after calling the coroutine using
while(false == System.IO.File.Exists(path)) {}
But it doesn't help. In fact, unity hangs after I use it.
A coroutine takes a frame to execute the first time. You're basically setting as many coroutines up as there are cameras, but by the time you run the first time, the only active cams are the ones from initActiveCams.Whet I'm saying is, Update, which starts your coroutines, does not wait at all, because it's no coroutine itself. It just executes straight through.

'The Mountain Between Us' Is All Glory, No Guts
The Mountain Between Us is an easily digestible romance that might have been more interesting if it were a bit harder to swallow.
There's hope in the first 15 minutes of The Mountain Between Us that it might be an antidote to the typical Hollywood romance film. With all flights out of Idaho delayed due to a snowstorm, British neurosurgeon Ben (Idris Elba) and American photojournalist Alex (Kate Winslet), two strangers desperate to get airborne as soon as possible, charter a private plane to circumvent the shuttered airlines. In a single, seemingly impossible shot, we watch their plane crash-land on a remote mountain range from inside the fuselage, a camera trick reminiscent of a famous, similar sequence involving a car in Children of Men.
They awake in the biting cold, wounded, their pilot dead, no sign of civilization in sight, and very little food and water to share (the pilot's dog survives, miraculously). It's an absolute thriller of an opener that signals we're perhaps about to witness two of the biggest actors in the business put on the grittiest physical performances of their careers, much like Winslet's Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio did in The Revenant.
Sadly, the actors don't stray so far out of their respective comfort zones in this deceptively conventional but perfectly respectable adventure-romance. Based on the book by Charles Martin and directed by Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now 2005, Omar 2013), the film is moving and romantic enough to please wide audiences and those pining for the sweeping mid-century romances that have grown so tragically out of fashion, though it doesn't stray from convention far enough to attract younger, more adventurous moviegoers. The potential is there for the story and style to go to surprising, unsettling, uncomfortable places (as would be appropriate for a survival situation), but such risks are not taken.
The relationship that develops between the two survivors is deeply felt, and the leads breathe life into roles that, in even slightly lesser actors' hands, would flatline in minutes. Ben is a veritable Bear Grylls, an expert at finding and fortifying shelter from the wreckage, among the trees, and in cold, dark caves. He's clearly tortured by some trauma from his past, however, and Alex feels helplessly compelled to pry into her comrade's personal life by any means necessary, partly to distract her from the direness of their situation and partly because, well, she's a nosy, line-crossing journalist. The relationship goes through various ups and downs, mostly prompted by the litany of minor calamities and moral victories they experience on their journey together, and for the most part, their eventual bond makes sense.
It's hard to imagine Elba and Winslet being truly inspired by such uninspired material, but to their credit, they each bring their "A" game because they're consummate pros and, possibly, they pushed each other to perform at their best. Whatever their motivation, it pays dividends; their efforts keep the film engaging all the way through. Even in moments of duress, Alex and Ben are likable and relatable and unexpectedly fun to "hang out with" as a viewer.
Pleasant and charming as the characters are, the melodrama and "quippiness" that drives their dialogue undercuts the film's air of danger and urgency, ultimately dampening the story's sense of stakes. There are certainly moments that feel hopeless and desperate, but what's missing here is pure, primal fear, the kind of fear you would feel if you were starving, bleeding, and freezing to death in the middle of god knows where.
Abu-Assad's storytelling is well paced but not as elegant or naturalistic as his previous work. Though Ben and Alex come across as real people, some of their interpersonal breakthroughs seem to come out of left field. A scene early on that sees them share a reconciliatory embrace after late-night argument drives them apart (literally), for instance, feels rushed and slightly forced despite Elba and Winslet's sincerity in the moment. The natural photography by cinematographer Mandy Walker is more refined, with breathtaking aerial views of the snow-blanketed settings giving the film an invaluable sense of place and scale.
The Mountain Between Us is an easily digestible romance that might have been more interesting if it were a bit harder to swallow. Other than a few moments when the audience isn't sure whether the characters have fallen asleep, fallen ill, or fallen... period, the film doesn't dare instill any sense of true pain, terror, or despair. Ben and Alex's love connection is the primary concern at all times, which is why the final act -- which sees them finally choke out their true feelings for one another -- feels more real and raw than any of the near-death scenarios that precede it.

Erdoğan signals increase to state-appointed administrators in Southeast ahead of local elections
The Turkish President Recep Erdoğan sent a warning to the country's pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) ahead of the country's 2019 municipal elections that any candidate ''affiliated'' with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) would be replaced by Ankara, independent news site T24 reported.
The government of Erdoğan has removed from office more than 80 of the 103.elected mayors representing the HDP and replaced them with government-appointed administrators, also known as ''kayyum'' as part of a crackdown on the HDP for its alleged ties to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an armed group at war in Turkey for over 30 years, following the July 2016 coup attempt.
While vowing to do away with Turkey's terror problem, Erdoğan said, ''the municipal elections are approaching. If [the names of] people who are associated with terror emerge from the ballot boxes once again, we will do what's necessary and assign state-appointed administrators immediately.''
The HDP surprassed the electoral threshold of 10 percent in the June parliamentary elections, receiving 10.76 percent support and winning 59 seats.
The pro-Kurdish party, which is accused by Ankara of harbouring sympathies for and supporting the PKK, is expected to fare well in the upcoming elections in Turkey's Kurdish-dominant Southeast.

Paramount Chiefs representing the 149 chiefdoms in Sierra Leone are gathered today Monday 16th November, 2015 at the Miatta Conference Centre in Freetown to present their position to the Review Committee.
Among their aspirations for the revised Constitution are the following:
The Constitution must be amended to distinguish between Paramount Chiefs and the Institution of Chieftaincy.
Paramount Chiefs no longer want to be in Parliament. They want a National House of Chiefs. Every PC should be a member of this House.
The House of Chiefs will monitor the implementation of projects in their chiefdons.
They want the qualifications to contest PC Elections specified in the Chieftaincy Act be retained.
The current election of PCs by electoral college should be maintained. They are opposed to universal adult suffrage in Chieftaincy elections.
The tenure of Paramount Chiefs must be for life. No term limit for PCs.
Gross misconduct must be clearly defined in the Constitution as the basis for the removal from office of a PC.
Any Chief wishing to go into politics must resign his position as PC.
