Eugene Emeralds fall 6-0 to Boise Hawks
EUGENE, Ore. - It seems a lot like déjà vu.
Much like the first half, the second half of the Northwest League season hasn't started off in the Eugene Emeralds' favor.
The Ems racked up another loss Tuesday night, falling to the Boise Hawks, 6-0.
Ems manager Jim Gabella said, "The season started today, and we didn't come out the way we wanted to. That's for sure."
The first two innings were quite silent, though Ems starting pitcher Tayron Guerrero retired three batters in the top of the first. In the third inning, Guerrero left with an injury that Gabella referred to as a "little tightness in his forearm."
Guerrero was replaced by Ems pitcher Michael Kelly.
In the top of the third, Hawks first baseman Jacob Rogers walked, bringing shortstop Carlos Penalver to home plate. Hawks center fielder Jacob Hannemann scored soon thereafter, from a passed ball by Ems' catcher Miguel Del Castillo.
After the Ems failed to respond, Boise added two more runs to the scoreboard in the top of the fourth inning when Hawks second baseman/shortstop Daniel Lockhart singled on a line drive to Ems' left fielder Malquiel Brito.
After yet another failed reply from the Ems, Hawks Rogers hit a homer in the top of the fifth, to put the score at 5-0.
The Hawks last score came from right fielder Yasiel Balaguert in the top of the seventh when Hawks catcher Lance Rymel went out on a sacrifice fly to Ems center fielder Henry Charles. Hawks Balaguert scored soon thereafter.
Gabella said, "We just have to get consistent. The game of baseball is consistency; whether it be a team winning games, or a player with his career moving up. Consistency is what makes everything go 'round."
Though the Ems kept their hits tied with the Hawks at 7 in last night's game, they failed to capitalize on any runs for the night.
Said Gabella, "We got the same amount [of hits] as they did, but obviously they got their hits when they needed them. You've got to get timely hits to win and we didn't do it. We didn't do it today."
"Every player needs to improve their skills. That's one of our goals when we start the season. We had team goals to try to win a championship and then we had player development goals for every player to develop his skills better. They're doing that slowly. It doesn't come overnight. It takes a while. They're working hard and their getting better," he added.
The loss puts the Emeralds at 13-26 for the season. The Hawks are now 22-17.
The Ems face the Boise Hawks again Wednesday night at PK Park in Eugene at 7:05 p.m.

Language learning in a Waldorf high school is an experience which nourishes head, heart, and hand. During a typical lesson, Waldorf students engage in one or more real world activities -- conversing with their peers in the target language, interpreting music, illustrating a poem, reading news articles, comics, tweets, short stories, folk tales, plays or classics of literature -- and deepen their connection with the universal human condition. Engagement with authentic resources, those designed for and used by speakers of the target language, ignites enthusiasm and reinforces the appreciation of socio-cultural nuances for language learners. Adolescents in a Waldorf school are met with an education that supports individual interests and initiative, and directly promotes the social gesture of inclusion. Building linguistic and cultural literacy in world languages is a fundamental 21st century skill with boundless opportunities for practical and personal applications. So, how do educators in a Waldorf high school prepare students for authentic communication in the new century?
Language learning at San Francisco Waldorf High School is an organic process informed by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and by the Standards for Foreign Language Learning outlined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). In our school, each grade level is the training ground for a unique task. Grade 9 focuses on the powers of observation through the question "What?" as a fundamental developmental step for students of this age and stage. In Grade 10, the question "How?" helps students extend their powers of comparison. Students in Grade 11 are asked to analyze phenomena in the immediate community and the global world with the guiding question "Why?" which eventually culminates in "Who?" in Grade 12, the year of synthesis. It is no wonder that the wisdom of these guiding pedagogical questions are echoed in the national dialogue on language learning. Focusing on What? How? Why? To Whom? (And When?) as the basis for all human-to-human interaction may seem overly simplistic to the untrained observer, but Waldorf educators have put these guiding questions into practice even before ACTFL began to promote them as official benchmarks for language teaching. ACTFL also outlines the World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages commonly known among language educators as "The 5 C's":
- Communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, Presentational)
- Cultures (Relating Cultural Practices and Products to Perspectives)
- Connections (Making Connections, Acquiring Information and Diverse Perspectives)
- Comparisons (Language Comparisons, Cultural Comparisons)
- Communities (School and Global Communities, Lifelong Learning)
Every topic of study (and in turn, each lesson) is carefully crafted in our lesson planning to address the standards of Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities at varying degrees of depth. We believe that these five areas work interdependently and cannot be realized in isolation from the guiding questions What? How? Why? Who? as held across the curriculum in a Waldorf high school.
It is also my firm belief that language learning cannot develop in a vacuum, independently of real world applications. When high school students "look into the world," as echoed by the morning verse, it will unfold before their eyes and reveal multiple perspectives, each valuable within their unique contexts. Consider the unit learning objectives that I developed in the El Norte unit for the Spanish Level IV Elective:
- Students will be able to discuss the Spanish language film (El Norte) in the target language.
- Students will be able to deepen their reading comprehension skills in Spanish while exploring and responding to questions based on the film's content.
- Students will be able to improve their aural capacities and verbal communication skills in Spanish through discussion of the film's content.
- Students will be able to express themselves through narrative description.
- Students will be able to compare and contrast their personal experiences of adolescence with those of the characters portrayed in the film.
- Students will be able to compare and contrast their personal experiences of family life and community with those of Guatemalan civil rights activist Rigoberta Menchu.
- Students will be able to explore the historical implications of the Guatemalan Civil War within the contexts of immigration, internal and external migration, global citizenship, leaderships, politics, and legislation.
- Students will be able to present a formal writing sample that provides evidence of an exploration of race, ethnicity, gender, and politics as they relate to the immigrant experience.As a Waldorf educator, I have a great deal of freedom in selecting authentic materials to meet the needs of the developing adolescent. Rather than relying solely on an illustrated textbook or grammar workbook, I incorporate resources -- written, auditory, and visual -- that are created by native speakers of the target language for native speakers.
Using authentic resources means I must adapt the task, not the text, for the language learner. When I prepared the immigration unit based on the film El Norte described above;, I had to create level appropriate questions and writing tasks in the target language so that my students could deeply internalize the connections they made from discussions and written responses. They will forever remember the story of two siblings, Rosa and Enrique, who fled to the United States from their small Guatemalan village in the early 1980s as victims of ethnic and political persecution. Reading a dry text of immigration statistics would not have made nearly the same impact as exploring the identity question Who? in Grade 12. Learning language and its resulting cultural connection stems from real life experience, both internal and external.
For our students who are truly "touched by the creative genius of language itself" as described by Steiner, we offer the opportunity for studies abroad in our international exchange program. This program supports reciprocal exchanges for students within the international Waldorf school community for those who make the commitment to host students from abroad. For students learning a world language, a linguistic and cultural immersion opens the door to first-hand, authentic experiences beyond what the traditional classroom setting can provide. Study abroad is a catalyst for increased maturity and self-confidence as students strengthen their language skills, make new friends within the international Waldorf community, travel, and expand their worldview. Most importantly, a study abroad experience invites students to learn about themselves.
The advantage of a Waldorf education is that students have world language experience in the elementary grades and upon entering the high school already understand and produce the target language without from discussions and written responses knowledge of its internal structure. At the high school level, students increase proficiency in building sentences and paragraphs for both oral and written communication. By the time students explore the Who? question they understand and produce cohesive texts of considerable length in the target language. Waldorf graduates truly internalize the necessity of speaking a language other than English because they appreciate linguistic diversity and value their role as global citizens of the 21st century.
Zoe Gressel joined the San Francisco Waldorf High School faculty in 2008. Ms. Gressel received her B.A. in Spanish and Secondary Education from Cornell College in 2006 and earned her Waldorf Teaching Certification from the Center for Anthroposophy in 2011. She is currently working toward her M.A. in Spanish through California State University, Sacramento.

Kiptyn Locke: Bachelorette Contestant Julien Hug Was a "Thrill Seeker"
Julien Hug -- who was found dead off a highway in the Southern California desert Wednesday -- didn't last long on season 5 of The Bachelorette (he was eliminated after two weeks).
But he still made quite an impact.
"I will always remember Julien's gentle demeanor and kind heart, which will be sadly missed," Bachelorette Jillian Harris tells UsMagazine.com.
PHOTOS: Before they were on The Bachelor
On the season 5 opener, Hug, who was 35, described himself as an adventurer.
"The sense of freedom that comes from skydiving is a big thrill," he said.
Kiptyn Locke -- who knew Hug before The Bachelorette -- tells RadarOnline Hug definitely was "a thrill seeker. He was a sky diver, he did tons of jumps ... Everyone who knew him loved him. He is a guy who really enjoyed life."
PHOTOS: Bachelors - a look back
Before his death, Hug was living near Palm Springs and running his parents' new restaurant, Augusta Modern, Radar reports
Contestant David Good tells Us he remembers Hug as "the first to offer to cook food in the house."
PHOTOS: Bachelors - where are they now
Hug also was "the one to offer up one of his 'funny' jokes that were entirely too long but hilarious nonetheless," recalls Good. "He will truly be missed."
Host Chris Harrison Tweeted that he also was "very sorry to hear we lost one of our own today. I know Julien was very well liked."
Locke says Hug's death is a wakeup call to him and his friends.
"A reminder to appreciate every day & tell those around u they are loved," he Tweeted. "Today I'm celebrating life."

Newberg Location
Our front display is dedicated to helping out cats who have been given the short end of the stick in life, all of these come from Newberg Animal Shelter which is managed by Newberg Animal Shelter Friends. At the current time we don't accept cats from any other source in order to preserve the integrity of the quarantine procedures done by the NAS.
The cats and kittens generally are $100 and include a spay or neuter, deworming, deflea, and some level of vaccination depending on age. You are allowed to interact with the cats as much as you like in our cat room.
If you are interested in adopting a cat but didn't find one you liked at the store, please contact the Newberg Animal Shelter to see other available animals.503-554-9285
Note: We do not take in Cats from any source other than the Newberg Animal Shelter. If you have a situation involving animals that need attention please contact the Yamhill County Dog Control. (note they do not do anything involving cats.)
Wilsonville Location
Wilsonville's adoption program is committed to finding loving, committed homes for cats and kittens. Our goal is to provide families the opportunity to adopt a cat or kitten with maximum education minimal screening and commitment to providing an exceptional lifestyle for the cats and kittens – and to support the shelters of the Portland Metro while we do it.
Where do our cats come from?
Some are dumped on our doorstep. Some are dumped at our vet when an owner finds out they can't afford a bill. Some are picked up by a customer who found them on the side of the road. If we have space to take an abandoned cat, kitten or litter of kittens we will do what we can to find them good homes. We will never buy kittens from a breeder and we will never take cats or kittens from sources that we even remotely suspect are seeking to profit from breeding.
Aren't you competing with the Humane Society and other shelters?
Absolutely not. As part of this program we guarantee that a minimum of 50% of the sale price (not just the proceeds) will go to the non-profit animal organization of your choice (between OHS, CAT, and Pixie Project). Our goal is to act as relief for these organizations by providing both monetary support and acting as a small independently run adoption center. Critter Cabana values the same commitment to reducing animal overpopulation that the shelters do. We require that all cats and kittens we adopt out be neutered or spayed AND we provide a superior amount of traffic and exposure to cats and kittens in need of homes. The bottom line is: adopt your cat here and you're supporting local shelters in spirit and in deed.
Why "maximum education" and "minimal screening"?
While we support what many of shelters are doing we don't necessarily agree with everything that they do. As a business we believe that education comes first before owning a pet. Once someone has been educated it is their job to act responsibly, not our job to tell them if it's the right or wrong decision. While we do refuse to adopt out to children under the age of 18, we are not going to tell a family that the cat we have up for adoption is incompatible with their children. Hence the phrase "minimal screening". We will not screen each family and determine if we deem them worthy of cat ownership. We will do everything we can to ensure that each family is fully prepared for the exciting adventure of adding a new member to the family and do our best to ensure that decision to adopt is the right one. Hence the phrase "maximum education".
Health Guarantee
We acquire kittens from a variety of sources ranging from local shelters to rescue groups to cardboard boxes left on our doorstep. Unfortunately, it also means that most of the time we or the people who we have acquired the kittens from do not have a complete health profile or history for the kittens. Our goal is to help healthy, well socialized kittens find homes at an affordable price. For this reason our kittens don't come with a health guarantee as priced. We do however do whatever we can to make sure that if there's a health issue, you know about it ahead of time. Every kitten has had an exam before ever entering our doors. We also give you a free exam after you adopt your kitten as a final opportunity for us to take responsibility for any health issues that might have been discovered. However, Critter Cabana is not responsible for any veterinary care required beyond the first complimentary vet exam.

Government to appoint judge to probe Snoopgate by May 16: Sibal
Law Minister Kapil Sibal on Friday said that by May 16, the government would be appointing a judge to probe "Snoopgate", and questioned as to why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders are worried about such an inquiry commission being set-up.
"You will get a snoop-gate judge before May the 16th. I do not know why these people are so worried, why leaders of the BJP are worried and why they are making public statements that no judge should join this commission? Because they know for the fact that once the commission is set up there is no saving Narendra Modi. There is documentary evidence of what he has done; how he has snooped on the activities of a young girl. And you see, they set-up the commission in Gujarat immediately. It is really surprising that in Gujarat the chief minister who is sought to be prosecuted or sought to be investigation under such a commission sets up his own commission in the state seeking to probe himself by a appointee of his liking; do you think that case will ever move forward?," Sibal asked.
Sibal also expressed doubts over the ability of the commission of inquiry appointed by the Gujarat Government to pursue Snoopgate.
"It will never move forward; just like the Nanavati Commission. Twelve years have passed; we have not got any report-this is really the track record of the Gujarat Government. So, we do not expect anything from the state commission. And, they are worried by the National Commssion set up by the Centre, and, I think, they should continue to be worried, because the commission will be set-up, and he will be investigated and brought to book," Sibal said.
"No-no-no, we had set-up the commission long ago much before the model code of conduct; this is only appointing a particular judge to the Commission; nothing to do with the model code of conduct," Sibal added.
The incumbent -Congress led UPA Government- may reportedly approach the Allahabad High Court seeking the services of a sitting judge to head the commission of enquiry. The Government plans to complete this process before the outcome of this election.
Earlier, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley had said yesterday that he would be taken aback if any judge agrees to probe into Narendra Modi-led Gujarat government's alleged illegal surveillance on a woman architect.

Additional product details
Much has been said about corporate social responsibility, and most organizations already understand that they must realign their traditional focus on profit alone to measure results in terms of their economic, social, and environmental effects. What remains largely unexplored is this question: if the old ways are on the way out, what will the new economic landscape look like? How will this sea change affect the way we do business in 2020, 2050, and beyond? Tomorrows Bottom Line sets out to answer this question. The authors draw on their unique position as practitioners, authorities, and critics--John Elkington coined the phrase triple bottom line in 1997 and has been a thought leader on sustainable business ever since, and Jochen Zeitz is a rising star in the world of corporate social responsibility, having pioneered the environment profit concept during a successful tenure as Pumas CEO. Elkington and Zeitz set forth a compelling argument that it isnt only our accounting methods that are set to change. Tomorrows understanding of capital and value will be very different from todays, and a concept of blended or shared value will affect all realms of the economy, from stock exchanges and pension funds to boardrooms and C-suites, with sweeping consequences for all organizations. The book will feature the insights of over 50 major corporate leaders interviewed by Elkington and Zeitz, providing a strong pulse reading on our business climate, poised on the brink of a major turning point. All managers need to go beyond the basics of corporate sustainability to find a deep knowledge of the fast-changing world and how it measures and quantifies an organizations value--and how those changes will affect their organization. Tomorrows Bottom Line is an essential guide to understanding and anticipating the systems of tomorrows capitalism, markets, and businesses.

So with you in this pattern if we connect the dots that makes up your location does it bring about some kind of paradoxical phenomenon?
I have thought long and hard about it. There is simply no prohibition. There is a part in Proverbs 31 where it states that kings should not be taken to wine or beer or women b/c they might be tempted...
Thanks. I hope to be around some here and there.
You are right. There is nothing there that condemns its use. It obviously condemns drunkenness b/c of the repercussions it can have on life.
The only other prohibition is if it were to cause...
Super Close. Different Denomination.
Not new to Bourbon but new to this site. Interest in Bourbon has peeked as a friend and I started to look into it more. It was sparked on by our love of fine coffee, its taste and its...

CHOWDAH BOWL: A journey to the Green Mountains erased plans for a journey to Wellfleet at October's end to indulge in Wellfleet's gems at the OctoberFest Shuck-off that attracted an estimated 8,000 persons. There were no plans to compete in the shucking contest, only to savor Wellfleet oysters and to mavel at the experts' speed in opening the tasty shellfish. The new Wellfleet champion is Paul Suggs who, press reports said, opened 24 oysters in 1.55 minutes, 4.5 seconds ahead of Asa Nadeau. Defending champion William "The Chopper" Young was competing in a national event in Maryland and as a result gave up his Wellfleet shucking title.... The Harwich High School graduate (1983) found his true love in Thailand, married her, converted to Buddhism and told The Cape Cod Chronicle, "I'm hoping to become a full-time ex-patriate and spend all my time there." The Chronicle's profile piece on Sean Buznick told how shortly after receiving his diploma Buznick left for Thailand, attracted to the country through childhood reading and, later, because of his interest in the POW/MIA situation. A teacher of English in Thailand, Buznick, spends three months of the year in Harwich, where he completed a novel whose main character is named John Harwich... Patriot readers know, of course, that there's a beach in Hawich named "Wah Wah Taysee.".... At one time, the influential pol from Brewster was an almost-daily newsmaker. Beacon Hill was his second home, from where he wielded power. Suddenly, his name disappeared from the news and political columns, and just as CC began to wonder whatever happend to Henri Rauschenbach, the ansesr came from The Cape Cod Voice. The likeable ex-lawmaker today is a big-time lobbyist, who admitted to the Voice that his world is "driven by clients and their interests, and his individual interest."....
Just Wondering: If the Bush clain uses Heinz bold and hearty sauce at their steak cookouts in Kennebunkport, Me., and the barbecues at the ranch in Crawford, Texas.... Retiree Lowell Outslay is a handy guy, who can do anything he sets his mind to, according to his wife. So, he cleverly advertised his abilities thusly: "Got a 'Honey-do' list and no Honey to do it?" Mr. Outslay, supportive of his business, decided, however, to add a line to his "Hire a Husband" advertisement. It read: "They can hire you, but they can't have you.".... A woman in Dennis is trying to get your goat – if you have one. In fact, she wants two of them. Carole Bell of the Dennis Village Society wants the goats for the annual living creche on Dennis Village Green.... PD Calls for Help: A strong call for assistance has been made to selectmen by Yarmouth Police Chief Peter Carnes. "We are at the breaking point in terms of supervisors," he said in a request for three new sergeants and three new officers.... Goats traipsing around the Cape may be few in numbers, but plenty of coyotes are around. And Brewster field naturalist Peter Trull has a pretty stern message for pet owners who ":write emotional scare letters about 60-pound coyotes or spread coffeeshop mumbo-jumbo that frightens kids and parents and even teachers." Trull, in a guest commentary in The Cape Codder, pointed out only one kid has ever been bitten by a coyote in Massachusetts and, as for pets, he wrote, "Keep cats in the house and dogs leashed. Coyotes are here to stay.".... Cape Codders are very familiar with "rink rats," the young and old hockey enthusiasts. A new species is appearing more frequently in the Upper Cape that we could describe as the "pool pups." They are the hockey buffs who play the game underwater. They range in age from teens to the 50s, wear diving masks, gloves, water polo cape and fins. Players bring snorkel gear and use miniature hockey sticks. All the action is at the Sandwich High School pool Friday nights.

PRESS SPEAKS OUT: "Nobody likes taxes...but the truth is they are our lifeblood as a free society. ...The boat excise tax, while unpopular in some quarters, is not a bad idea...A boat excise tax is not out of line, especially since this isn't Venice.

...."Red Sox-Yankees. Post-season drama. The Curse of the Bambino. A hundred years of history with Shakespearean overtones. Enough already!....The Sox-Yankee rivalry used to be our secret delight in New England. We relished our role as the lovable underdogs...Sox-Yankee tradition seems like a product now; more grist for the TV mill.

Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."

Henrico woman wins $1M in Va. Lottery game
Citizen Staff Reports 10/02/2015
When Amanda Spiller of Henrico saw that she'd won the $1 million prize in the Virginia Lottery's $100 Million Cash Extravaganza game, it didn't immediately sink in.
"I was in shock. . . complete shock," she said. "I had to double and triple check."
She bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 2750 Hungary Spring Road in Henrico. She had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $681,000 before taxes. She chose the cash option. The store received a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket. > Read more.

Claim: Mondex is planning to replace money with biochips embedded in people's heads and hands.
Origins: March 2004 saw the latest iteration of a form of conspiracy theory that attempts to tie automated systems related to financial transactions to the "mark of the beast" prophesied in
[The beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads.In earlier days conspiratorial rumors linked this bit of scripture to the advent of
And that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Our conspiracy train has already jumped the track by the third slide, which conflates two distinctly different types of technology.
The device pictured above is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip (also known as an "ID chip"), used (among other purposes) to assist retailers with Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC). Described as "bar codes on steroids," tiny RFID chips can be embedded in products (or their packaging); when triggered by sensors, these chips emit short bursts of identifying data streamed via radio waves (or "RF"). This system offers a significant improvement over the current bar coding system for a number of reasons, including:
(Technically, a biochip is a computer chip made from organic molecules rather than from silicon or germanium. The term "biochip" is also used more generally to refer to any type of chip implanted in living beings, but RFID is only one of many technologies that might be used in such a chip. Kevin Warwick, a Professor of Cybernetics at Reading University, made news in 2000 when he had a silicon chip transponder surgically implanted in his arm.)
The concept described in the text accompanying this photo, however, describes a different type of technology: the smart card.
Almost every credit card issued nowadays includes a magnetic stripe which encodes information about the card that can be read when the card is swiped through an electronic card reader. (In most cases the information encoded is merely a repetition of the account number and expiration date embossed on the card, allowing the card to be more easily read by electronic scanning devices.) The
Another envisioned use for smart cards is in electronic payment schemes. Rather than carrying around currency and coins, consumers could use smart cards that would be able to tap into centralized systems which keep track of how much each person has available to spend. The purchase price would be automatically deducted from the buyer's account at the point of sale, conceivably eliminating the need for money altogether someday.
Here the text goes even further astray in an erroneous attempt to tie smart card technology to specifics of the Biblical prophecy found in
[The beast] also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.First of all, smart card technology involves microprocessors embedded in cards, not people. Secondly, the uses of biochips in humans and other animals for identification purposes do not involve implanting such chips in the head or the hands. The preferred location for such chips is an out-of-the-way fleshy area that will allow for tissue to bond the chip and lessen the possibility of any irritation or discomfort to the host, making the head and hands (too bony and exposed) non-ideal for such purposes. The recommended implantation location for biochips is between the shoulderblades, towards the back of the upper arm (or on the back between the front legs of a dog or cat).
The statements included in the last slide above are all misleading or inaccurate:
MasterCard did acquire a 51% stake in London-based Mondex International in 1996, and they have been trying to establish a variety of Mondex-based applications in a number of countries in recent years. However, attempts to launch the use of Mondex smart cards as "electronic purse" alternatives to cash over the past decade have so far been disappointingly unsuccessful, as this
A number of electronic payment schemes have been launched in the past decade but many have languished because they have not found resonance with consumers. The Mondex card was launched in the UK in 1995 by a consortium of banks and BT, the telecommunications group. It looks like a credit card and contains a chip that can be "loaded" with cash from a bank account. It was seen as as ideal for small purchases such as newspapers and rounds of drinks in pubs. It was introduced in Swindon in 1994 and then on university campuses at Exeter, Edinburgh and Nottingham. But in spite of trials in about
Again, Mondex is a smart card technology, not a biochip technology. Mondex has nothing to do with implanting chips into people, nor are biochips inserted into heads or hands. This bugaboo about heads and hands is just a silly attempt to tie this Mondex screed to the mention of "foreheads" and "right hand" found in the portion of
Once again, Mondex is not a biochip technology — it is a brand of smart card technology (which uses chips produced by other companies), and the Mondex card itself was introduced at least ten years ago. Neither MasterCard nor Mondex has reported problems with smart card fraud or announced plans to insert smart card chips into human beings rather than place them within cards because otherwise the "chip could be cut and the information would be changed or falsified." (Extracting an implanted chip from a human being isn't really prohibitively more difficult than removing one from a plastic card, certainly not enough to absolutely prevent dedicated criminals from pulling it off.)
Now we've zoomed into the area of the nonsensical. Even if we were to contemplate implanting the chips utilized in "smart card" technology into human beings, locating them in the head or the right hand wouldn't make them any more difficult or impossible to remove than locating them elsewhere in the body. (Again, this is a rather silly attempt to tie "Mondex" to the prophecy of
The name Mondex, of course, is derived from "monde," the French word for "world."
Well hey, there's nothing we take more "serious" than bad grammar or an exhortation to forward a nonsensical message to everyone we know.
VeriChip is one of many companies that produces implantable identification technology, but they really have nothing to do with smart cards in general or the Mondex brand of smart card in particular (other than that they have overlapping areas of interest in systems for personal identification and guaranteeing the integrity of financial transactions).

Julie Wassmer - Canterbury is not for shale
Posted: June 11, 2014|
LAST week more than 150 high-profile names signed a letter calling for fracking to be suspended pending an "independent and thorough public debate."
Part of an initiative called Talk Fracking, the letter's signees included Professor Sir Harold Kroto FRS (Nobel Laureate in chemistry), Professor David Smythe (Emeritus professor of geophysics, Glasgow University), Dr Hugh Montgomery (Professor of intensive care, UCL) and the hydrogeologist, Graham D Warren, who chairs the CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) Kent Environment Committee, of which I am a member.
The (national) Times newspaper chose to ignore the respected scientists whose names led the list and focused only on the fact that Paul McCartney and other celebrities had signed. The Daily Mirror redressed the balance by featuring the research findings of Professor Smythe that fracking poses a far greater risk of water contamination in Britain than the US due to differences in geology.
Ironically, that warning came on the same day that the Government made it easier for companies to drill beneath our homes without our permission.
The Government continually stresses how debate is needed to inform us about fracking but having attended last month's Gov Today Shale Gas conference in London, it was clear that the £500 including VAT cost of a ticket would preclude the attendance of many members of the public.
Advertised as a "delegate led" event, it proved impossible to tackle industry chief Andrew Austin of IGas with spontaneous questions from the floor and his plenary speech remains unavailable to the public on the Gov Today website due to "contractual" reasons. I can report, however, that Austin told the House of Lords that the barriers to his industry "are getting local acceptance where we are trying to drill… and it is the inability to manage that, that would rule out any particular area".
A few months ago, the campaign group East Kent Against Fracking held a meeting in Barham, not far from the village of Shepherdswell – one of three east Kent villages that successfully opposed drilling applications last year. A few weeks after EKAF's meeting, Lib Dem Mike Sole took the Barham ward from the Conservatives in a by-election.
Cllr Sole has now proposed a motion for Canterbury City Council to reject all forms of unconventional gas or oil exploration and development such as fracking while seeking a moratorium on shale gas exploration in the Canterbury district and supporting renewable energy sources such as solar, tidal and wind.
Cllr Sole told me: "I believe it is important to send a clear message to energy companies seeking to drill in our area that councillors share residents' concerns about the potential risks from shale and other forms of extreme energy." A council debate is scheduled for July in Canterbury and all our welcome.
Before then, Talk Fracking is addressing the lack of debate from our government, and the dearth of information from the media, by setting up five city debates with the London event on June 16 at Westminster to be chaired by Jon Snow from Channel 4 News. Tickets are free and available from the Talk Fracking website.
Go along. Talk fracking. Be heard.
