|Additional details:
On June 18, 1998, at 1116 Eastern Daylight Time, a rebuilt Hawker Aircraft Limited Hunter T Mk 8, N745WT, was destroyed during an approach to the Manchester Airport (MHT), Manchester, New Hampshire. The certificated airline transport pilot was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The aircraft airworthiness test flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.
The builder stated that on the day before the test flight, he and the pilot met for about 2 hours for cockpit familiarization and discussion of the flight test scenario. They briefed again for about 30 minutes on the morning of the test flight. The pilot wanted to use a modified Hunter test schedule that was agreed upon by the builder, and that schedule was later found with writing on it, near the wreckage.
The builder wrote that the pilot wanted to use the lower altitude structure for the test flight, based upon the prevailing weather. The builder then "insisted that the flight test be a maximum of 30 minutes plus taxi time because of limited fuel duration at the lower altitude. We both agreed on this plan." After the preflight, the builder again reminded the pilot of the 30 minute flight duration.
Several witnesses stated that the Hunter's internal fuel tanks and two pylon fuel tanks were full prior to the flight.
Witnesses also said that the Hunter started up about 1030. According to tower audio tapes, the jet took off at 1041. The builder wrote that it then turned to "a right downwind, building speed for a continued right onto a final approach with gear retracted for an unanticipated low pass at an estimated 400+ knots" before departing the airport area.
At 1047, the pilot radioed to approach control that he had a hydraulic problem, and that he was declaring an emergency. At 1048, he cancelled the emergency, and told approach control he would "stay out here and work for about 30 minutes."
After another 13 minutes of maneuvering, the pilot received vectors for a long final approach to Runway 17. At 1113:50, he checked in with Manchester Tower and requested "a touch and go, and some multiple visual patterns if you can arrange it." At 1116:03, he radioed: "Hunter 1 will be a full stop," and at 1116:10, the pilot reported: "Hunter 1 is gonna have to eject."
A witness heard and saw an airplane that was silver-gray in color, and looked and sounded like a fighter. "It was coming in pretty fast, and then it got silent" as it passed the witness, about 1/2 mile prior to the initial impact point. According to other witnesses, the jet continued to fly south over a populated area, crossed Interstate 293, then flew low over a rental truck parking lot. An employee of the rental company was standing near an open garage door when he "heard a noise like a plane - like a swoosh. I'm sure it wasn't under power. I looked out the door and saw it gliding past - the tail was down somewhat."
Another witness said he saw the canopy depart the airplane just as it was clearing the parking lot, where a number of people had been standing. The accident occurred during the hours of daylight, about 42 degrees, 57.1 minutes north, 71 degrees, 26.7 minutes west.
The pilot was experienced in the Hawker Hunter, and had previously flown with the builder. He was an active duty military pilot, but flying the test flight under civil authority only. A month earlier, the pilot had flown a Hunter in an air show, and he possessed a current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Statement of Acrobatic Competency for the Hawker Hunter.
According to the pilot's civilian logbook, he had flown over 230 sorties, and 240 flight hours in the Hunter. On his February 1997 application for a Second Class Medical Certificate, he stated that he had 4,500 hours of civilian flight time. His military flight time was not provided by the U.S. Air Force. However, his biography stated that he had over 8,500 hours of total military and civilian flight time, with over 3,500 hours in military fighters. It also stated that he had flown for Northern Lights Aircraft, Incorporated, and in that role, flew the Hunter in "stunts for cinematography, air displays, test work, and instructing test pilots in out-of-control/spin recovery and prevention procedures at the Navy Test Pilot School..." It went on to state that he was also "fully mission capable and qualified in the F-16."
The truck parking lot was bordered to the south by a chain link fence. Running along the outside the fence, was a narrow stand of trees, which rose 35 to 40 feet. To the south of the trees was a large sand pit, approximately 250 feet in length, and to the south of that, was a stand of dense woods.
The first ground impact area was observed in the sand pit, about 140 feet south of the fence. The second impact area, where the jet came to rest, was about 275 feet south of the fence, and slightly less than a mile from the airport runway. The pilot was found in his seat, in the woods, about 380 feet south of the fence. The drogue parachute was found deployed, while the main parachute was not.
Tree tops outside the fence were found sheared off, corresponding to a left wing being down at a 40-degree angle. The descent angle between the top of the sheared trees to the initial impact point was 11 degrees.
The jet's cockpit area was destroyed. There was substantial leading edge damage to the left wing, and minor damage to the right wing. There was no evidence of fire.
An inspection of the fuel system revealed that the fuselage center tanks and front tanks were empty. The two pylon fuel tanks were destroyed, and no evidence of fuel was found near the remnants. The right inboard wing tank had fuel to a maximum depth of about 1 1/2 inches, and the left inboard wing tank had fuel to a maximum depth of about 2 inches.
The amount of fuel remaining in the wing tanks when the accident occurred could not be determined. Firefighters on-scene reported seeing fuel leaking from the right wing area at a rate of 1/2 to 1 gallon per minute for about 20 minutes. However, it was not known what quantity of fuel had leaked before the fire fighters' arrival.
On June 19, 1998, an autopsy was conducted on the pilot by the State of New Hampshire, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Concord, New Hampshire. No toxicological testing was performed.
Subsequent to the accident, its ownership became a matter of dispute, and was being determined through litigation. Several documents listed the builder as the owner. However, the builder also provided a copy of a bill of sale which indicated that the airplane had been sold to Grace Aire, Incorporated, of Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Hawker Hunter was a 1950's-vintage jet trainer/fighter. According to the builder, the accident aircraft was rebuilt from two others over a 12-year period. The cockpit-forward section came from a two-seat T Mk 8, while the remainder came from a one-seat F Mk 50. The jet was issued a "Special Airworthiness Certificate for the purpose of exhibition" on June 15, 1998.
Descriptions of the Hawker Hunter's fuel system, from Hunter T Mark 7 Air Publications A.P. 101B-1302-1, Chapter 2, Fuel System, include:
1. The fuel system installation consists of four flexible bag-type tanks installed within the center fuselage, four in each wing, and a provision for drop tanks. Delivery to the engine is from the front pair of fuselage tanks, the supply being supplemented by means of electrically-driven booster pumps....Transfer of fuel from the remaining tanks to the fuselage front tanks is accomplished by means of air pressure obtained from a restricted tapping on the engine compressor.
2. The four fuselage tanks are...mounted in front of the engine in the center fuselage, two on each side between and around the engine air-intake ducts.
3. ...All four tanks are each provided with a refueling valve, these being in connection with a pressure refueling coupling situated in the port wheel bay.
4. The two front tanks are each provided with a combined pressure and suction relief valve. Vapor release valves, one to each front tank, are also incorporated. The two rear tanks...(referred to as center tanks), are each provided with a lightly-loaded suction relief valve. These valves, like their counterparts in the combined valves of the front tanks, operate in an inward direction opposite to that of a normal relief valve, thus permitting air to enter the tanks should the pressurization fail and, consequently, prevent the setting up of a negative pressure and the possible collapse of the tanks. Non-return valves are fitted in the pipelines between the front and center tanks to prevent back-flow during the refueling of the tanks.
5. Each wing accommodates four tanks....The four tanks are interconnected and, for practical purposes, may be considered as one tank. The fuel from these tanks is transferred to the center fuselage tanks by air pressure...each inboard wing tank to its respective center tank in the fuselage.
6. The aircraft can be fitted with four under-wing pylons on which drop tanks or alternative stores may be carried....[There are] air pressure pipes which feed engine air into the drop tanks for fuel transfer purposes....
7. For effective transfer of fuel to the fuselage front tanks at all altitudes and rates of flow, a pressure of about 6 lb/in squared is required. The air supply for tank pressurization is taken from a restricted tapping on the engine compressor and then through a non-return valve and a filter to pipes which feed the port and starboard tank installations. Each of these pipes contains a reducing valve.... From these valves, the pipes convey the air to the drop tanks through non-return valves. The air pressure causes the necessary displacement of fuel from the drop tanks to the wing tanks, and thence to the center tanks in the fuselage, and finally to the front tanks.
Except in the case of transfer failure, the front tanks remain full as long as there is fuel in the other tanks. Should the transfer system fail, however, no fuel will be transferred from the wing and drop tanks, and only part of the fuel from the center tanks.
Under these circumstances, the fuel transfer pressure switches will operate, causing the transfer magnetic indicators to show. The warning switches are also in connection with the fuel contents gauges, giving an 'empty' indication for the center tanks. Thus, when the warning indicators show, the contents of the front tanks only are indicated, this being the only amount of fuel available to the engine.
8. A fuel flow proportioner is fitted in the main delivery line from the booster pumps. It consists of two cells of equal capacity, each equipped with a vane-type rotor, a non-return valve and a bypass valve. The non-return valves are open under normal conditions but if the rotors become stiff or inoperative, the bypass valves open to allow the fuel to flow unmetered. The inlet of each cell is connected to its associated tank system, and the outlet from each delivers into a common manifold. Providing that the inlet pressures do not differ by more than 2 lb/inch squared, the flow proportioner ensures that equal amounts of fuel are taken from both sides of the tank system.
9. The fuel is pumped to engine-driven pumps from the front tanks by means of tank booster pumps with inverted flight valves.... The two booster pumps are matched units which should empty the front tanks simultaneously, but provision is made to enable the pilot to balance the fuel levels manually should such action become necessary. The manual balancing controls consist of two switches mounted on the cabin starboard shelf. The pumps,...under normal conditions are running continuously throughout the flight.... Indicators, situated adjacent to the pump switches, provide warning in the event of pump failure.
From the pumps, the fuel passes to a fuel proportioner, which ensures a balanced flow from the two sides of the system under normal conditions, and thence to the low-pressure cock. From the low-pressure cock, the fuel passes to the engine-driven pumps, connection being made by means of flexible couplings which allow for engine expansion.
10. The dual engine-driven pump is of the positive-displacement, multi-plunger type, the delivery being controlled by variation of the pump plungers.
11. The low-pressure fuel cock control is mounted on the cabin port shelf and moves forward from OFF to ON. The cock is fitted in the pipe lines [between] the tank booster pumps [and] the engine inlet. The high-pressure fuel cock control is also mounted on the port shelf and moves forward from OFF to ON. It is used to stop the engine by shutting off the fuel supply to the burners....
12. The throttle control is mounted...on the cabin port shelf.... The throttle consists of a profiled plunger, movement of which varies the flow of fuel to the burners.
13. The fuel contents gauges are grouped together at the top of the center instrument panel. The tank units...consist of small condensers on flexible straps. They are fitted into pockets in the tanks and are secured by press fasteners. The condensers operate the gauges through amplifier units.
14. A switch mounted on the cabin port shelf is provided to energize a solenoid-operated valve in the engine fuel pump circuit to isolate one pump from the other in the event of a defect in the engine fuel pump system.
16. The suction and pressure relief valves (one of which is fitted to each front tank), consists of a body which contains a spring-loaded relief valve. The valve is adjusted to open at a pressure of 11lb/inch squared by means of an adjuster which screws into a cap ring. After adjustment, the cap ring is sealed by a screwed cap. The valve allows excess tank pressure to escape via the orifice which is in connection with the vent pipe. This pressure relief valve incorporates a small spring-loaded suction valve, the action of which is opposite to that of the pressure relief valve in that it admits air into the tanks should the fuel tank pressurization system fail, thus preventing the formation of vacuum and possible collapse of the tanks.
17. One [suction relief valve] is fitted in each of the fuselage center tanks, and one in each port and starboard pipe to the drop tank bypass valves.
18. Under certain conditions of flight, particularly during inverted flying, air may pass into the front tanks. Air also comes out of solution from the fuel at altitude, or the fuel may boil. The expansion of this air or vapor while climbing may prevent fuel transfer and allow the front tanks to empty while fuel remains in the other tanks To prevent this, a vapor release valve is fitted to each front tank.
From the Pilot's Flight Manual, section 1-1, page 9, paragraph 18, Fuel Gauge Errors: "The fuel contents gauges have been found to give erroneous indications due to temperature effects on the electrical gauging system. The magnitude of the error depends on both temperature and flight conditions. Low temperatures at high altitude give gauge underreading; high temperatures at high speeds at low altitude give gauge overreading. During a descent from altitude, if the inaccuracy is a gauge under reading, the gauges progressively become more accurate and may eventually tend to overread."
The builder stated that "new light bulbs [were] used throughout [the] aircraft."
Laboratory Analysis
Six light bulbs were submitted for laboratory examination. The bulbs from "RH TANK PUMP FAILURE," "FUEL LOW PRESSURE," and "LH TRANSFER FAILURE" warnings had intact filaments that exhibited no stretching. The bulb from the "LH TANK PUMP FAILURE" warning had a broken filament that exhibited no stretching. The filaments from the "RH TRANSFER FAILURE" and the "HYDRAULIC PRESSURE" warnings were intact, and exhibited "slight stretching." Further examination of these filaments under a scanning electron microscope showed both to be "severely not
Fuel exhaustion, resulting from the pilot's reliance on an inaccurate fuel quantity indicating system. A factor in the pilot's death was his intentional delay of the ejection sequence in order to avoid people and property on the ground.

Dua Lipa has apologised after using racially insensitive language during a recently resurfaced cover from 2014.
The singer appears to mutter a section of the n-word on a cover of Mila J's 'Smoke, Drink, Break-Up', although the audio is distorted to fade the racial epithet.
"You swear to god you ain't fucking with a n*gga", the 'New Rules' singer says on the track.
She's now apologised and confirmed that it was never her intention to 'offend or upset anyone'.
"In relation to my 2014 cover I never meant to offend or upset anyone", she wrote on Twitter.
"I didn't say the full word but I can admit I shouldn't have gone there at all and that a different word could've been recorded altogether to avoid offence and confusion, I wasn't thinking it through at the time."
She added: "I always stand up for social justice and I am very sorry to anyone that I have offended x".
Responding to the criticism, one fan wrote: "Realizing your past mistakes, learning from them and growing are important steps that everyone should take. I respect you so much for doing this."
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Dua Lipa was the most streamed female artist on Spotify in the UK, impressively beating the likes of Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce.

this post hasn't been published yet - if you've stumbled upon it I'd love your feedback but please don't share it just yet!
This post is 8 years old — please take it with a pinch of salt!
I haven't blogged for a while. I've got lots of half-written drafts—who doesn't?—but there just hasn't been anything that's got me pissed off enough to put aside uni work and finish a proper post.
And then I bought a Logitech product. Now I'm REALLY pissed off.
I've been using Mike's old Logitech wired mouse for several months, ever since he spilt a cup of tea over my old Mighty Mouse. It's an old one, very comfy but I hate wires so I thought I'd treat myself to a new v470.
Could they not have decided on a better package than a plastic clamshell? Not only was it difficult to get into but the bubble around the mouse was so tight that it was frustrating to get it out.
It's 2011. I'm used to iPads and iPhones only having the bare essentials in the box. Are two huge double sided posters of technical disclaimers in every language imaginable and a driver CD necessary? I don't know how Apple gets around not having detailed warranty information etc in the box, but it must be possible so why can't Logitech?
I haven't had a CD drive for 3 years so I had to hunt through the Logitech website to find a driver otherwise some of the mouse buttons wouldn't work. Yes, a driver. In 2011. On a Mac. The Logitch website is a horrific experience all around but the thing I find most puzzling is the URL structure. I've often wondered why big (enterprise?) sites have URLs that deviate from what we'd choose.
As an example, why not rewrite
Surely it's just a matter of appropriate routing?
I opened up that question to Quora; if you have any suggestions I'd love it if you commented here or answered on Quora.
The rest of the website was similarly horrible and unusable, it's like they stop employing UX designers for existing customer-facing pages.
Now to install the driver. Standard install, until I get asked this question. Bearing in mind I'm 'installing' a mouse. Not a keyboard. On a Mac. That has it's own keyboard layout. I wonder if this option actually affects anything in the system or just serves to confuse users?
With all that done, I now have to restart my Mac (I thought we left that at Windows 98?), and then go to the proprietary control panel. Why deviate from expected UI conventions? Why do I need a separate app to configure the behaviour of a scroll wheel? Why can't you be more like Apple?
Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing, maybe there are technical limitations I'm overlooking. Or maybe I've come to expect beautifully thought out products from years of using Apple products. Whatever it is, I've spent the entire day angry at poor UX decisions that could easily be rectified.
Having products as rough around the edges as this leaves a sour taste in my mouth and makes me think Logitech just doesn't care about me so long as they have my money.
Which is a shame, because it's a nice mouse.
Like everyone else who wishes they tweeted less, I have a sporadic newsletter about work, life & feelings.

This may be the cheapest registration fee for a local run i have ever encountered and organized by no less than the Runrio group themselves. For a measly sum of P16.00, runners can enjoy a well-organized race and includes a Runrio visor to all finishers.
The Sin Tax Run is a 6 KM run will take place on December 16, 2012 at the Seaside Boulevard, Mall Of Asia and the run is about supporting the pending sin tax reform bill in order to rationalize taxes on tobacco and liquor products. Taxes collected will be used to bankroll the government's universal health care program that intends to provide better medical services for the poorest sectors of Philippine society.
This bill makes vice more expensive while at the same time raising more money for health care programs.
Only 5,00 runners will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis and is expected to be filled-up in a few days. A big surprise here is the hefty prize money that winners in the local and foreign divisions will received.
Check this out, then go out now and register!

Tucked within the clandestine of Ulu Klang, Gombak is the pleasant neighborhood of Taman Melawati. Approximately 40 odd years ago, around 1970, a huge scale of this land was owned by the Hawthornton Estate managed by the historical Wong Loke Yew.
Fast forward to our current era and you have the bustling neighborhood Taman Melawati. Commonly dubbed the "Hollywood" of Malaysia due to all the local celebrities and politicians one may bump into when in the area, as many of Malaysia's most famous reside in here.
Image : Sime Darby Property
Let's see what the hype is all about as we share why Taman Melawati is gaining so much traction in the stations.
1. Prime Location & Accessibility of Transportation
Taman Melawati is a prime choice for many who commute to the city centre for work via their own vehicles or public transportation.
It is strategically located in the developed area of Melawati and the nearby Wangsa Maju vicinity that has swift accessibility to reach the Kuala Lumpur city centre via Jalan Ampang, Ampang Hulu Klang Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Genting Klang-Pahang Highway, Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE), and Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2).
Image : Malay Mail
There are 3 nearby LRT stations which are LRT Station Gombak, LRT Station Taman Melati & LRT Station Wangsa Maju.
Image : Klia2
Image : Klia2
The DUKE Highway links residents to Damansara in approximately 15 minutes. There are also options of the MRRII Highway & SUKE Highway to travel to Bukit Jalil or areas north or south respectively.
Other network of highways linked to this area are the Genting Klang – Pahang Highway and the AKLEH Highway.
2. Entertainment & Recreational Activities
Besides being a transportation transit, Taman Melawati is filled with activities for everyone. Amongst activities available for the family include visiting the National Zoo.
Image : XTRA
Image : Malay Mail
Home to a total of over 5137 specimens, the mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish make up a diverse range of 476 species.
Highlights include viewing Pandas from China with tickets priced at RM16 & RM43 for children and adults respectively.
The neighbourhood is also studded with quite a few popular malls such as the Melawati Mall, Wangsa Walk & KL Festival Mall.
For the more serious retail shopper, the Genting Premium Outlet is also less than an hour away via the Genting Klang- Pahang Highway.
Image : 360 Tour Asia
If all the above still does not suffice, one may simply head to KL City for the usual go to locations like KLCC or Pavilion.
Away from the air conditioning and branded goods, there are many hidden gems for those that are one with the outdoors.
Hiking trails and relics of nature await the willing explorer such as conquering the peak of Bukit Tabur & escaping with nature within the Ampang Forest Reserve.
Image : WordPress
Locals would also frequent the popular local waterfall called the 'Sofea Jane' waterfall located in Batu Asah. If you've already spent your weekends hiking in all the trails.
This includes dipping in the heavenly bodies of water in the streams of the Klang Gates Dam (also known as the Bukit Tabur Dam) then we have another suggestion for you.
Image : MYHOME
Around Kampung Kemensah, lies the steadfast providers of the rugged ATV! Not only will these guys provide you with an all terrain dominating vehicle, they'll hook you up with the route (and intensity) that meets your adventure level. All in all, we think you'll find plenty to do in your weekends here.
3. Future of Education
Gombak is home to many prestigious academic institutions. Some of these educational facilities include the internationally acclaimed International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM), the Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA), Tuanku Abdul Rahman University College and Consist College.
Image : IIUM Today
Besides adults, there are many reputable places to send the little ones for a healthy head start on their path to education.
These range from R.E.A.L Kids, Krista, the Falahiah Islam Kindergarten and Little Caliphs. We trust that you will find a kindergarten suitable for your child in this well covered area.
4. Endless Amenities
Conveniences and amenities are essential to the lifestyle of any resident, be it that of a family or a bachelor. In this department, Taman Melawati also provides its residents with convenient access to public amenities and township facilities with banks galore, eateries, fast food chains, and hospitals all ready to service the commune.
Image : MIGF
Image : Ranechin.com
We can safely say you can cross off any errand off of your list within the borders of Taman Melawati. For your medical needs, you can set check in at the Damai Service Hospital or the Columbia Asia Hospital.
Image : Columbiaasia.com
However, if you prefer a government facility, the Ampang Hospital is about half an hour away. The National Heart Institute is also within a 20 minute drive.
5. Focal point for Real Estate Investment
Besides homeowners, Taman Melawati is arguably one of the focal points for real estate investors in Klang Valley. It comes as no surprise as to why Taman Melawati has frequently charted high amounts of transactions.
An irresistible catalogue of investment picks are available with a wide spectrum of property prices ranging from RM645,000 to RM1,430,000 (based on data from 2017 to 2018). Match that with a central location & sound business development, we definitely foresee more potential for lucrative investments in Taman Melawati.

Machine learning -- also sometimes called artificial intelligence -- has been a staple of science fiction and futurologists for years. Now, machine learning is finally making it out of the research lab and into the real world – in a way that's easy to implement and cost-effective for all kinds of businesses. Google has been at the forefront of this development and over the course of three posts, we'll explain what machine learning is, how it works, and how organisations like yours are using it.
With conventional IT, you have to provide precise rules to allow a system to complete a particular task: a defective screw is bent or too short or the threads are crooked. With machine learning, the system can work out what the rules are through training, improve its performance over time – and deal with a much greater level of uncertainty and variation in the data, such as the screws being viewed from different angles. Or, in the case of an artificial brain developed by Google, learning to pick out cat videos on YouTube even though it hadn't been fed any information about the specific features used to identify cats. Like the human brain, machine learning can also make predictions – how likely is this to be a cat? – and adapt as it's fed more data, so it gets better at accurately identifying cats.
Download our helpful guide, for .
This kind of machine learning is increasingly being used in business applications. For example, it can automatically figure out how to spot defects during manufacturing – separating good screws from bad ones, for example – or screen medical images to flag up patients who may be showing early signs of a disease. It can understand customers' behaviour in both retail and entertainment in order to predict future demand or suggest other products they might like. It's at the heart of both YouTube's and Netflix's recommendation systems. It's also taking activities such as speech recognition, content analysis of text, images and video, and language translation to the next level.

We are fortunate that some music by the gifted Juan survives. Wilson makes a strong case for the Cabezons' music. © 2013 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide
There is a subtle suppleness of the phrasing, and slight but telling agogic touches to rhythms and accents, that…makes the pieces spring to life with far greater expressiveness. © 2013 Fanfare Read complete review
Blind at birth, Antonio de Cabezón's role in music was to establish the keyboard as a solo instrument that shared an equal status to the vocal polyphony of the time. He was just fifteen when appointed to the role of keyboardist to the wife of the emperor Charles V, and remained in Spanish royal employment for the remainder of his life. That his music was placed on paper was largely the work of his brother, Juan, while its eventual appearance in print was due to the dedication of Antonio's son, Hernando. He gathered together for publication a large collection of his father's music, though the Glosas was not part of them, and remained undiscovered until the 1970's. It was proof of the attitude towards such catchpenny music that existed during his lifetime. They were, in fact, elaborate 'arrangements' of songs for solo keyboard, a musical form that two hundred years later was to find much favour, but was frowned upon in Cabezón's lifetime, and to an extent that his son thought best to hide them away. For much of this preamble I am indebted to the disc's soloist, Glen Wilson, whose informative programme notes are an example in the art of writing an interesting backdrop. He then goes on to inform the reader of Hernando who succeeded his father at the Royal Court. In both cases their music is extremely elaborate, and not only shows the quality of father and son as virtuosos of the instrument, but asks us to contemplate the difficulty that Hernando must have faced in the task of writing down the music his father was composing. As with his previous discs of Antonio de Cabezón, I have enjoyed the fluidity of Wilson's playing, and his clarity in the most complex ornamentation. The recorded sound takes us close to the instrument, but is largely free of action noise. © 2013 David's Review Corner

Sniffed out insurgents and bombs under heavy fire as British special forces and Afghan troops raided a Taliban-held hotel in Kabul.
Footage from the battle in 2012 showed the Belgian Malinois staying calm as commandos scaled an outside wall and hauled him up several floors to bring him into action.
Sent through direct fire to search for explosives, he was hoisted up the outside of the building several times and also skillfully detected the presence of enemy fighters.
Despite being injured by three grenade blasts – causing damage to his chest, legs, ears and teeth – he persevered in the seven-and-a-half-hour mission.
Mali retired from frontline duties after lengthy treatment for injuries sustained in the firefight but is still involved in training.
Last November the eight-year-old was honoured with a PDSA Dickin Medal – the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross. His citation reads: "Mali displayed outstanding courage in the face of fire and there is no doubt that his actions throughout the operation were pivotal in breaking an enemy stronghold."
Lt Col Abby DuBaree, of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps said: "We are exceptionally proud of him." Mali's handler at the time of the battle received the Military Cross.

Linda adopted a golden retriever called Amy in 2009, who had been rescued from a licensed Welsh farm. She had been used for breeding for seven years and was anxious, covered in scars and had undergone surgery to remove nine mammary tumours.
Having seen what puppy farming had done to her pet, Linda joined a protest against a 196-dog farm in Carmarthenshire the following year. It was unsuccessful - but the experience left her determined to keep fighting.
She launched CARIAD (Care And Respect Includes All Dogs) in 2011, with the name taken from the Welsh word for beloved. The campaign aims to end puppy farming in Wales, which produces more puppies than any other part of the UK.
The tireless campaigner has since created a coalition of 29 small Welsh animal charities and lobbied the Welsh government and councils for a successful reduction of staff ratios at these farms from 30 to 20:1.
Linda takes the CARIAD message to events around Wales to educate the public about the trade and the condition of the animals bred there, all legally at present.
Such is her dedication to the cause that in 2012, Linda spent seven days incarcerated in an outbuilding to show the sensory deprivation of puppies in farms, with her experience broadcast live online.
This isn't her only sacrifice. Her hands-on and vocal approach to improving animal welfare means she has faced death threats and taken great personal risk to secure evidence about poor welfare for the authorities and to animal charities.
Linda, 56, played a key role in the Lucy's Law team, backed by the Daily Mirror, which successfully campaigned to stop the trade in puppies by pet shops and third-party dealers.
She said: "The more we learn about how the system fails these dogs, the more shocking it becomes. It's like digging up a bone and realising that there's a whole skeleton in there if you look hard enough."
Puppy pulled from the rubble in war-torn Syria is thriving after 3,000-mile trip to be reunited with the former soldier who saved her.
Bomb disposal expert Sean Laidlaw was clearing a bombed-out school in February 2018, when he heard whimpering from beneath the rubble. He dug down and discovered Barrie, a tiny Asian Shepherd cross puppy.
She was terrified, and surrounded by four dead puppies, and initially shied away from Sean - but he refused to give up. He brought her food and drink, and cordoned off the area as it wasn't safe from explosives.
After three days she grew to trust him, and the two became inseparable over the following three months he was working in Syria.
Sean, who served for 10 years in the Royal Engineers, including two tours in Afghanistan, says Barrie helped him cope with PTSD. "It may come across that I saved Barrie's life, but I feel like she saved mine. You can only imagine how bad Syria is, and to have a companion, it kept my mind away from all the things I was seeing and doing out there."
When Sean returned to Britain, he immediately set about bringing Barrie to join him, with the help of charity War Paws. But it took seven months, including three months in quarantine in Jordan, before the paperwork was in order, and she was flown to Paris where Sean was waiting to meet her.
"One of my biggest fears was that she wouldn't recognise who I was, or that she would be a different dog to the girl I left. It was pure joy when she realised who I was."
Founder of the Great North Dog Walk has helped to raise millions of pounds for animal causes despite suffering a series of health problems.
Tony's first event in 1990 involved just 12 schoolchildren with 13 dogs. Since then, the annual charity walk has raised more than £8 million for various animal charities, with an estimated 35,000 dogs taking part in 2018, and 185 different breeds.
The former teacher has carried on with his fundraising activities despite battling health problems including a heart attack, three heart operations, three skin cancer operations and diabetes.
But he was forced to cancel the 2019 event on doctors' orders after nearly dying from sepsis earlier this year. He says he will be back in time for the 30th anniversary walk in 2020.
The Great North Dog Walk holds several Guinness World Records as the world's largest charity dog walk. Walkers choose who they raise funds for each year from a list of beneficiaries, the majority of which are animal organisations.
It is an inclusive event, with routes to suit pushchairs, wheelchairs, the elderly and older dogs. Tony, 62, from South Shields, said: "I love what I do, particularly on the day when I can see people coming together from the local community - all for the love of dogs."
Wildlife supercop set up and leads record-breaking team targeting wildlife crime.
When it comes to dealing with the vital but often-overlooked issue of wildlife crime, Inspector Kev Kelly follows a simple rule. "I will treat an animal as a victim of crime like I would a person. People may think I'm barking mad but you are giving a consistent level of service," he says.
In 2017, the animal-loving police officer was named as Wildlife Law Enforcer of the Year at the Wildlife Crime Conference for his tireless and innovative work in tackling rural crime in North Yorkshire.
He initially started working on offences that affected animals in his spare time but persuaded bosses to set up a dedicated wildlife team. He is now influencing national and regional policy in tackling criminals involved in illegal activities like hare coursing, setting templates for investigations and how to interview suspects.
His job varies from protecting bats and great crested newts to prosecuting people involved in illegal fox-hunting and the killing of birds of prey. His award followed a year in which his team made a record 101 arrests for wildlife crime offences and he led an investigation called Operation Jumbo, that targetted hare coursing, badgering and animal cruelty.
He has secured convictions for badger baiting, bat disturbance, greater crested newts habitat destruction and raptor persecution, and in 2008, also secured North Yorkshire Police's first ever convictions under the Hunting Act against three men involved in fox hunting.
Survived horrific ill-treatment in Romania before being rescued from a kill shelter, becoming a therapy dog in the UK.
Fleur, a Collie cross, was taken from the streets of Bucharest by dog catchers, and after a botched spaying which left her intestines hanging outside her body, was left to die.
After she was rescued by the Valgrays animal charity, Wendy Morris saw her picture on their website, and instantly decided to adopt her.
Three weeks after starting her new life in Britain with Wendy and her two other rescue dogs, she fell seriously ill with a rotten bowel. The vet gave her a 1% chance of survival and recommended euthanasia, but Wendy sought a second opinion from specialists at the Royal Veterinary College in Potters Bar.
After rare and complex surgery, and weeks in intensive care, Fleur made a full recovery.
She has now become a Pets As Therapy Read2dog, going into primary schools to help children read and communicate. She also visits nursing and residential homes and is an ambassador for rescue dogs.
Wendy said: "I'm so thankful to everyone who was involved in giving Fleur a chance in life."
Cattle farmer donated his cows to an animal sanctuary because he could not bear to send them to slaughter, and became a vegan campaigner.
After his decision became known, local residents mocked him and began referring to his property as the funny farm. His brother-in-law, who runs a cattle farm six miles away, told him that he was mad to give away animals worth £40,000 at market.
Jay took over Bradley Nook Farm in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, when his father died in 2011 and for the next few years found it "soul-destroying" every time he consigned an animal to "a terrifying death" at an abattoir.
He also felt guilty about the environmental impact of rearing cattle for beef and first tried to offset the harm by installing solar panels.
Eventually he decided to stop farming animals and worked with the Vegan Society to donate 59 of his cows to live out their natural lives at Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk. He kept a small number to graze parts of the farm where their trampling and feeding benefits wildlife.
"They do have personalities and they experience the world," he said. "They are not just robots that eat and sleep."
Jay, whose story features in the Bafta-winning short film 73 Cows, is now applying for permission to build three polytunnels in which to grow organic vegetables and hopes to open a vegan restaurant and possibly a vegan cookery school.
Undercover investigator has exposed some of the most heinous examples of animal abuse around the world for nearly 20 years.
Rich's pictures and video footage from inside places such as abattoirs, factories, circuses and livestock markets have been used worldwide by more than 20 international animal protection charities, helping to launch campaigns, change laws and inspire people to take action for animals.
He has documented animal suffering in 28 countries, providing organisations with key evidence to push for new welfare laws, pursue animal cruelty prosecutions or raise public awareness about the need to treat animals with kindness and respect.
His many assignments have included infiltrating fur trappers in the USA and monkey breeding farms in Asia, as well as undercover investigations into the meat industry, live exports, ritual slaughter of sheep in Singapore, and the horrific battery farming of rabbits for use in pet food sold in Britain.
The former leader of Surfers Against Sewage has worked with charities including Compassion in World Farming, Born Free, Humane Society International, Eurogroup for Animals, Cruelty Free International, Four Paws and World Animal Protection.
Although his work has been widely featured in campaigns and news outlets, he has always remained anonymous to allow him to continue working undercover. His identity can now be revealed as he is giving up undercover work to focus on activism and campaigning.
Now working with the Veganuary campaign, he also runs a micro-sanctuary for dogs, cats, chickens and ducks he and his partner have rescued from shelters and factory farms.
Wildlife and plastic pollution campaigner hailed a hero by Chris Packham.
Finlay regularly protests, speaks at events and in the media, and is a powerful voice for the planet.
He has organised a weekly climate mini-strike at his school in Ullapool, protesting at the gates from 8.45am to 9.30am every Friday.
In March, he travelled to the European Parliament to lobby politicians over climate change. Finlay, who was one of only three children from the UK to join pupils from countries across the world, said: "I want the people who make decisions over our lives to see this world is dying. I want them to reduce man's carbon footprint as well as cut back on farming and plastic use."
In June, he travelled to Vancouver on an international scholarship to attend the prestigious Ocean Heroes Bootcamp. The three-day event trains young people to be global ambassadors for fighting plastic pollution.
In his spare time, he also volunteers with local wildlife and marine conservation groups, and takes part in beach cleans.
Fin's mum Rachel says: "Finlay is so passionate about trying to persuade people to make a difference to the planet."
Schoolgirls have looked after more than 500 hedgehogs after setting up their own 'hogspital' to care for local wildlife.
Sophie and Kyra, both 13, were inspired to help at the age of nine, after hearing that UK hedgehog populations had fallen from 30 million in 1950 to 1.5 million today.
With the support of their parents, Sophie and Kyra started the Facebook group Hedgehog Friendly Town, as part of a school project in the summer holidays. Kyra's mum Helen said: "We couldn't afford to go on holiday that year. Kyra said, 'What am I going to write about when I go back to school next year?' It started as that."
Now they have spaces in their sheds and back gardens where they take care of injured hedgehogs. They have also enlisted local vets to help with medical support.
Sophie and Kyra also care for abandoned baby hedgehogs – hoglets – who need feeding frequently, requiring the girls to tend to them immediately after school, into the evening and again at 6am.
They have given many of their patients funny names, including Bruce Quillis, Amy Spinehouse, David Hasselhog, Hoggy Willoughby, Dick Van Spike and Quilliam Shakespeare.
This year the pair successfully lobbied housing developer Taylor Wimpey to remove netting from hedges. It was used to prevent birds nesting during building work, but the girls argued it would trap hibernating hedgehogs, and have a devastating impact on wildlife.

While our attention has been drawn to various immigration initiatives by the new White House, and the attacks thereon, a lot of things have been happening rather quietly in the world of the EB-5 (immigrant investor) program. For example:
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the powerful Judiciary Committee, who has been valiantly trying to reform the program, has decided that it is beyond redemption and has joined Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) in calling for its termination.
The Washington Post, in a lead editorial the other day, agreed with the two senators.
Joop Bollen, who was in charge of South Dakota's disastrous part of the EB-5 program, has pled guilty in a sweetheart deal with the state that gave him two years probation and a $2,000 fine. Thus he got off nearly unscathed while saving the state's establishment from embarrassments that might have accompanied a trial.
Grassley said, according to NBC News:
Unfortunately, despite its many flaws, EB-5 proponents are apparently content with the status quo, and that's unacceptable. I was hoping that it would not come to this point, but absent serious efforts to bring about reforms, we need to take the necessary steps to wind down the program and completely mitigate fraud, abuse, and threats to our security.
The Post, which is routinely pro-migration, said this:
[T]he EB-5 program, which began a quarter-century ago as a well-intentioned plan to attract international capital to the United States, has morphed into a scandal-ridden embarrassment.
We now switch from the nation's capital to South Dakota, which produced some of the scandals mentioned by the Post. The Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported that Bollen, who at the very least watched scores of millions of dollars of EB-funds disappear, pled guilty to a relatively minor criminal charge brought against him by the all-too relaxed local prosecutors.
We had, in earlier postings, reported how scores of millions of dollars were lost by both the immigrant investors, and by the state of South Dakota itself; how neither federal nor state authorities did anything about it; how the local Democrats had muffed their opportunities to make a major issue out of it; and how the death of a key player in the EB-5 schemes — he died of a shotgun wound to the stomach — was ruled by the state's attorney general to be a suicide.
Very briefly, South Dakota secured a license from DHS to be a regional center to handle EB-5 funds. Bollen was put in charge. While still serving in that position, Joop Bollen (as a public servant) signed a state government contract with Joop Bollen (as a private citizen), giving the latter's company the state's EB-5 business, including fees to be collected later from the investors. This is well known, but was not part of the state's prosecution; that dealt only with a small side issue amounting to about one million dollars.
Meanwhile numerous EB-5 projects — including a massive beef slaughterhouse, a music hall, and several dairy farms — failed and millions were lost as a result.

Getting rid of Phobia of Work: How It Works
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. Consciously, you know your phobia of work doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. Yet the fear perseveres only because your subconscious has 'linked' the thought of work to a bunch of strong negative feelings – which get brought up automatically every time.

Vanquish Phobia of Work Today.
Risk Factors & Causes for Ergophobia
In most cases, Phobia Of Work (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. In some cases, the mind has seemingly, without basis, created the fear. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Those most at risk are:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• One who seems to be 'high-strung'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Any of those portray you? You can see testimonials from individuals who know our our capability to make a difference.
Or you can <see what the media> is saying.
Tests, Symptoms & Diagnosis
You can take our 2 minute Phobia of Work Online Test to establish the enormity of the problem for you, but it's really quite straightforward: If this phobia is having a significant negative impact on your life, its time to do something about it.
- Does the thought of Work make you nauseous?
- Does your mouth go dry and your palms get sweaty?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do your legs turn to rubber under the weight of your own body?
These are just a few examples of symptoms people can experience. Click here to learn more about the symptoms of phobia of work.
We not only help you deal with the symptom you experience, but we find the cause. This is what CTRN is all about
Medications & Prescribed Drugs
To use <pills and medication for Phobia Of Work> isn't supported in our program because we believe they act as 'camouflage', That said, you should follow your doctor's recommendations and always and seek proper medical advice if you want to change any medication. The root cause of being Ergophobic is an unconscious mental association that links work to powerful feelings of fear. Meds can mask the awful feelings for a while, but never break the mental patterns at the core of the problem
There is no drug specifically for Phobia Of Work – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Phobia Of Work, without the use of any meds..

Home&Office Gifts
The Type of Art that is a Perfect Gift for Both a Home and an Office
Have you ever walked into space and something just felt, off? Maybe it was an apartment, a waiting room, or an office. After looking around a bit did you realize that there was no art anywhere? It makes a big difference!
Art helps to transform any space into one that is more inviting. You might not think it is necessary until you spend time in a space that doesn't have any.
Have you been to someone's home or office and felt it needed some more art? It makes for an excellent gift! However, figuring out what art is best can be difficult. If interior design isn't your specialty, it can feel very overwhelming deciding what art to choose for a home or office space.
1. Abstract Art
Abstract art is perfect for home and the office! We love abstract art because it is so much more than just a piece of art for your wall, it becomes more of a conversational piece. Everyone will see something a little different, making it an intriguing piece that will improve the appearance of any room you put it in.
You can also easily find a piece of abstract art to go with any existing decor that someone might have. All you need to do is find a piece in the color scheme you need, and it will fit in perfectly! You can also choose to go bolder or more muted with your abstract art, making it perfect for anyone, no matter what their specific taste or style is.
Abstract art is also easily found in all types of sizes, making it really flexible and perfect for any space. Are you looking to surprise someone with one big piece of art for a wall in their living room? You can find it. Looking for something smaller to put up at their office? That is an option too. You really can't go wrong!
2. Photography
We absolutely love photography and think it is a perfect type of art for at home or at an office. Best of all, you can easily find beautiful photographs to frame, or you can make the gift even more special by finding images the person has taken and had them printed! This could be more artsy shots taken while traveling, or images a photographer has taken of the family. Personal photography is great for making a house feel like a home, and it is also great to have up at the office to remind you of what is most important in life!
Outside of photography of family, you can also find so many breathtaking photographs that make for wonderful art at home or at work. Beautiful nature shots, city lights images, or anything in between. Whatever they enjoy looking at, you can find it in photography form!
If you are shopping for someone who leans a bit more modern with their style, photography is a great type of art to consider. If you are going to a housewarming party, a framed photograph of the family really is the perfect home gift.
3. Lighting
Almost any home or office space can benefit from more lighting. You might not instantly think of lighting as a type of art, but it absolutely can be! While there are plenty of basic types of lighting that provide light and nothing else, there are plenty of floor lamps and hanging lamps that are really works of art themselves! Because most people don't instantly think about the lighting in a space, it makes for the perfect gift that can really transform the space and add some dimension.
We love getting creative with lighting - it can seriously transform the look of a space! If you know that someone already has plenty of lamps, consider swapping out the cover or lampshade to give it a whole new look. You would be surprised at what a big difference it can make. Every space needs light, but that doesn't mean the lighting has to only be practical. Turn it into a design element and see what a difference it makes in an office or a home!
From desk lamps to floor lamps, to ceiling lights, there are a lot of different types of lighting, so pick what fits best in the space you are shopping for. Exposed Edison bulbs are very popular these days, for example. Consider getting a new light fixture that features those type of bulbs, it makes for a great home gift!
4. Black and White
There is nothing more timeless than a black and white piece of art. Whether it is a painting or a photograph, there is something so elegant about black and white!
Because it is so timeless, it is a perfect piece of art for either at home or at the office. Trust us, it will never go out of style, making it a great gift!
We love black and white imagery, not just because it looks nice, but also because it fits in with most styles of decor. No matter what existing color scheme you are working with at the person's home or office, you can add in a black and white piece without worrying about it clashing with existing items. It is a perfect option if you want to get someone some art but isn't sure what colors they want or like.
5. Greenery
Finally, just light lighting, you might not think of greenery and plants as art, but it really is a necessary design element. Without any type of plant, a room will feel very stark and cold. Greenery helps warm things up and makes any space feel more inviting.
There are so many cool types of plants nowadays that you can choose from that really does make it feel like picking out a piece of art (think of Japanese style plants & decor!). Succulents, for example, are incredibly popular these days, and with good reason. Not only are they low maintenance, but they also look incredibly cool!
If you are shopping for someone that doesn't have much of a green thumb, this is a perfect home gift for them.
You can also consider getting flowers if you want to introduce some color besides green. Now, we don't mean picking up some cut flowers from the store, but potted flowers that will stay alive and brighten up any space.
Orchids, for example, are beautiful flowers that come in a variety of colors, but they also have a nice modern appearance if that is the style of the person you are shopping for.

DYNAMOS suspended players which Captain Marshall Machazane, Kingston Nkhatha, Obey Mwerahari and Peace Makaha have been ordered to apologize to the executive.
This is the only way they will be readmitted.
Sources say that team manager Richard "Nyoka" Chihoro called them yesterday and told them of the executive's decision.
It is the club's belief that the players have been colluding to boycott training sessions and going into camp.
However, there is a theory that the leadership has since realised that they overreacted and demanding an apology is a dignified way of ending the standoff.
There were suggestions that the matter might trigger a bigger fight between the players and the leadership as the season is coming to an end while most players are owed substantial amounts of money by the club.
The suspended four players were scheduled to meet with Football Union of Zimbabwe president, Desmond Maringwa.

When you're buying a home, the last thing you want to think about is criminals and scammers. Unfortunately, as a homebuyer, you are a major (and often easy) target for criminal types. With thousands of unwitting victims every year, it is a lucrative business for crooks.
Maybe homebuyers should be afraid. Be very afraid. But perhaps it's better to say, "Be aware." Be vigilant. Be cautious.
Here are the five most common rip-offs I've heard about in the past year.
Email Hacking and Wire Fraud. This increasingly common scam traps homebuyers into sending the funds for their closing to a fraudulent account. The emailed directions for sending funds typically looks like it came from the title company, bank, attorney or Realtor. These emails look and seem very legitimate. These hackers are pros who know how to find real estate related emails and lay in wait for the right time to swoop in.
As soon as the funds are sent to the scammer's account, they are transferred to an offshore account and are gone. Any time a buyer is sent wiring instructions (or new instructions for funding), they should pick up the phone and call the title company using the phone number from the very first email they received. Or just get a cashier's check and bring it to closing.
Fraud/Forgery. A little riskier than the easy online theft, this is popular with criminals. Many of these types of cons are seen in For Sale By Owner scenarios or when a property is being 'flipped'. Here the alleged seller is trying to sell a property they don't outright own. They could be stealing the true owner's identity, forging documents, or filing a false deed. Or the fake seller could actually be the tenant posing as an owner.
In another scam, the seller tries to sell the same property to two different buyers at the same time. I've heard all kinds of versions of real estate fraud. Someone ends up getting ripped-off. This is why you need title insurance. Working with a title company helps protect against paying for a property that you don't end up owning.
Mail Solicitations. Buyers often fall for the official looking letters that flood their mailbox after buying a home. For a fee, lots of swindlers will gladly supply you with a worthless copy of your deed or sell you unnecessary mortgage insurance. Filing your homestead exemption is free and you don't need to pay anyone else to do it.
Postcard notices of awaiting packages are another ploy to get your money or information for other scams. Any notices that look like they come from your bank should be verified with your lender and not by calling the number in the solicitation.
Sketchy Movers. Most moving companies are reputable. But there are some deceitful ones too. Theft, uninsured damage and worse can happen. Some rip-off companies change their name frequently and are hard to track. They may add on extra fees on moving day or require a deposit upfront and then disappear.
Always get references and a detailed written quote in advance. Once it's moving day and they have your stuff on their van, it's not the time to negotiate with your things held hostage.
Home Improvement/Repair Scams. This type of rip-off is so common and prolific that I can't begin to describe them all. But it applies to anyone who rings your doorbell or solicits your business by phone. They will either take your money and disappear or the work will be substandard. If you are foolish enough to let them into your home, be prepared to be swindled or robbed. Trust your gut and get referrals.
While there are many ways to report scams, I have yet to hear of anyone getting their money back after falling victim. Next week, we'll feature scams aimed at real estate sellers.

If we have the wrong attitude toward conflict, it will be impossible to face the emerging conflicts within our lives and deal with them effectively.
We realize that the word "conflict" is loaded emotionally. Many of us associate the word with destructive images of people shouting at each other, of countries bombing one another, of gangs shooting one another.
Certainly, these are conflicted situations! But conflict at its core involves things that are not necessarily bad, and may even be productive:
-Differing ideas and opinions
-Evaluations and judgments that take different paths.
People are different. Each person walking the earth has a different slant on things, different ways of seeing what is unfolding, different strategies for dealing with all the situations life throws at us.
Issues regarding conflict are confusing. Is conflict good or bad? How do I manage it?
Let's put this key point on the table:
Conflict is necessary and beneficial – at least, conflict that is focused properly (in the Blue Zone) is necessary and beneficial.
It's only when conflict strays away from issues and accesses personal stories (in the Red Zone) that it becomes unmanageable and destructive.
How about you? What is your default toward conflict? Do you see it as negative, hurtful, frightening, counterproductive – and so run away from it?
Or do you see it as necessary and potentially beneficial, a source of growth and self-knowledge?

Cherry Crumb Cheesecake
Junior's Award-Winning Original New York Cheesecake is baked atop a bed of luscious cherries and covered with a generous portion of homemade struesel crumb topping.
Famous since the day they opened in 1950, Junior's is a Brooklyn landmark. Beloved by locals for years, Junior's cheesecakes became renowned worldwide after NY Magazine conducted a blind taste test and rated Junior's as the best. Since then, Junior's has been visited by everyone from former presidents to James Beard award-winning chefs. Handmade with fresh premium cream cheese, heavy cream, eggs and a touch of vanilla, this cheesecake is truly a New York Original. Baked atop their signature sponge cake bottom, it's creamy but not heavy, light without falling apart as you take a forkful, and of course, has that rich flavor. There's a reason why it's called The World's Most Fabulous!
