How-To Guide
Your Kiss is on my List …… – Filofax and Preparing for Valentine's Day!
Preparing myself for Valentine's day has never been one of my strongest points. I usually run to the store the morning of and buy the last decent card available, running through a Target or a Walmart and hoping I can find that perfect gift that says I love you. Of course I always hope it looks as if I placed lots of thought and preparation but my honey can see through me every time. Especially when I show up with the "muscle man" teddy bear that says "Be Mine". Who gives a guy a teddy bear for Valentine's????????????? Seriously!
This year I decided to be proactive and my handy Filofax is here to help me make up for years of Valentine's Day neglect!
I started by getting an explosion of Valentine's Day paraphernalia because with me, I create as I go and once I have it all in my vision, that's when I can get down and dirty with scissors and washi tape on hand. Thankfully the craft industry indulged! Hearts galore!! Everywhere! I actually enjoyed it so much I am getting ready to do ALL of February in red and pink. Watch out Filofax lovers! You are about to get bombarded with hearts and arrows!
Aren't those owl stickers to die for???? That's for my next layout. The postage stamp stickers are the ones I chose to execute my plan.
I cut scraps of white cardstock and put the stamps on with washi tape. (I know 12,309,874,387 ways to use the vast supply of washi tape currently taking up every inch of my studio).
Next I wrote a "treat" on each piece of card stock. The idea here is that for the week of Valentine's Day, my hubby will be showered with goodies of the most awesome kind. Massage, foot rub, homemade desserts, candlelight dinner and much more. He will get the little piece of paper with the treat to look forward to that evening and it all ends with a bang on Valentine's Day. Ok. I did not even think that one through but I am leaving the innuendo because as I am typing this I am laughing at my quirky humour. Now, seriously. I will be using my Filofax Original pink personal planner to help me in executing each day perfectly. I will be entering things like "pick up movie tickets", "make reservations for dinner", "look up recipe for steak" and so much more! On Valentine's Day he gets to have dinner, dessert, a walk around town and much more.
Most of these treats are of no cost to me but I know he will appreciate it so much more than a teddy bear. Enjoy the eye candy and think of ways to make your V Day special!

text: Sorry, this isn't specific to Disney! I've heard about people getting a voucher for future travel with Westjet in light of the elimination of the fuel surcharge. When I booked a recent flight to Vancouver, the fuel surcharge was in place, but when I flew, it had been eliminated. I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, and if they were successful in acquiring a voucher. Thanks

History has a funny way of repeating itself when it comes to cricket. For a game that has been played competitively for three centuries, nothing really is new.
History has a funny way of repeating itself when it comes to cricket. For a game that has been played competitively for three centuries, nothing really is new.
Match fixing? It all started in the 18th century when traveling professionals rode on horse-back — and later by train — from village to village, playing for large purses in winner-take-all matches.
Combined with rampant drinking, this invariably led to violence and match fixing and it was in the 1850s that the elite class of England stepped in to cleanse the game and set up the county championship where amateurs ruled over the pros for a century.
The division between amateurs (known as 'gentlemen') and professionals ('players') remained in English cricket till it was formally abolished after the 1962 season.
The first cricketers to be banned for match-fixing? No, not Hansie Cronje, Mohammad Azharuddin and Salim Malik. It was William Lambert. The year? 1817!
Colored clothing? No, it was not Kerry Packer and his World Series circus of 1977-79 Down Under that was the pioneer. Those same village teams centuries ago would were brightly colored shirts of red, green, purple, etc. to distinguish which parts of England they were representing.
What about fat-cat businessmen flaunting their wealth and buying up the best players? Long before Kerry Packer, Sir Allen Stanford, Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, Vijay Mallya and Ali Bacher, there was William Clarke (of the 1840s) and other entrepreneurs who would travel the length and breadth of England with their teams of professional cricketers who were paid handsome wages and raked in hefty prize money too.
Plus fat bonuses from shady bookies and punters who had infiltrated the game not long after the first recorded match in which prize money (10 Pounds Sterling) was on offer way back in 1700.
Clarke's story is particularly fascinating. In 1846 he bought up the best cricketers in the land and formed the All England XI under his captaincy, an all-conquering side that took on and invariably trounced challengers throughout England.
But by 1852 champion fast bowler John Wisden — founder-editor of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack — broke away with a bunch of young pros who felt Clarke's match fees of 4 to 6 Pounds Sterling per game was insufficient and formed a rival side, the United England XI.
Thus it has forever been with cricket, the so-called 'gentleman's game'. And so it is with England all-rounder Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff who is being dubbed international cricket's first freelance player.
Flintoff may well be the first of the modern era, though it could be argued that it was Australia's all-rounder Andrew 'Roy' Symonds who had actually beaten Flintoff to that title a few months earlier. The cases of Flintoff and Symonds are similar though not identical.
Tired of his constant late-night drinking bouts and skirmishes while under the influence of booze, Cricket Australia finally gave Symonds marching orders last year. He has been out of the national team ever since, but that hardly seems to bother him.
In fact, rumours abound that Symonds deliberately broke team rules so he could find a convenient escape clause from national duty.
Symonds' agent had made it clear that now that he did not have national commitments, his client was free to sell his talents to Twenty20 franchises around the world.
At $1.35 million, Symonds was the second highest richest cricketer after MS Dhoni when he was snapped up by the Deccan Chargers in the IPL auctions of last year.
He got to play only four games in the inaugural season in 2008 as he was still a part of the national squad. But this year he was free to play the entire IPL season in South Africa and was one of the stars for the Chargers as they charged from last place to first in the span of 12 months.
Late night boozing sessions don't appear to be an issue with the IPL franchises. Indeed, it is practically a pre-requisite with players' attendance at sponsors' parties a must.
So it is hardly surprising that the Chargers' management have expressed full support for their star player despite his poor disciplinary record.
In the case of Flintoff, he announced his retirement from Test cricket at the end of the recent Ashes series but made himself available for the England squad for 50-over and T-20 Internationals. But Flintoff's agent has made it clear that he will be available only to play for England if his other professional commitments allow him to. And that is sure to lead to a clash eventually with the ECB and his teammates as well who have already begun to resent his attitude.
Flintoff, we are told, will be plying his trade — assuming he regains full fitness — in T-20 leagues in India (where he is already signed with the Chennai Super Kings), Australia, South Africa and perhaps in the West Indies as well.
The likes of compatriot Kevin Pietersen, West Indian Chris Gayle — who has already publicly expressed his disdain for Test cricket — and Kiwi Brendon McCullum will be keenly following the Freddie saga. As will be players' agents who are rubbing their hands in glee at the treasures on offer from franchises around the cricket world, far in excess of what they are paid to be on national duty.
The IPL, we have been informed, will insist on 'No Objection Certificates' from players' home associations. And what if these are withheld? Will we then enter the domain of 'restraint of trade'?
For that matter, will the franchise owners not raise a hue and cry if denied the services of their superstars?
So is the concept of freelance cricketers a new one? Not quite. And it was a star Indian cricketer who, back in the 1950s, caused quite a stir with his demands.
'Vinoo' Mankad was considered the world's leading all-rounder when India toured England in 1952. Mankad had an offer from Lancashire League side Haslingden which would pay him over 1,000 Pounds Sterling for the season, a considerable sum of money at the time.
At the peak of his powers, Mankad requested the BCCI to give him an assurance that he would be picked for all four Test matches on the tour so he could turn down Haslingden's offer.
The Board refused. But they were forced to backtrack after the team was humiliated in the first Test at Headingley — scene of the notorious 0 for 4 second innings score-line which continues to mock Indian cricket. Mankad was back for the second Test at Lord's which will forever be dubbed 'Mankad's Match' thanks to his heroic all-round display.
The legendary Garry Sobers too turned himself into a traveling pro in the tradition of the horseback players of the 18th century. He was a big star in English domestic cricket in the 60s and was sensational for South Australia too in the Sheffield Shield.
The difference? He never skipped a Test match for the West Indies in a career spanning two decades. Today's freelance cricketers — and their ever-present agents — appear to have another agenda altogether. And the toothless International Cricket Council can only look on helplessly.

Land Rover North America Announces 2004 Model Pricing
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2003; Land Rover North America has
announced pricing for its 2004 model year line of four-wheel
drive vehicles.
"We've put emphasis on enhancing content and value,
especially on Discovery and Freelander," said Richard Beattie,
executive vice president, Marketing and Sales, Jaguar and Land
Rover North America.
The HSE model continues as the mainstay of the Range Rover
line. For 2004 it carries a manufacturer's suggested retail
price of $72,250, an increase of $385.
Two new leather seat colors -- Aspen and Navy -- have been
added along with two new exterior colors -- Alveston Red and
Maya Gold.
2004 sees the debut of the first Limited Edition of the
Range Rover, the Westminster. The elegant vehicle is finished
in Java Black pearlescent paint and features black interior
wood trim to complement the jet black leather seats. An
additional exterior finished in Bonatti Gray will also be
available for Westminster in limited numbers. The MSRP for the
Westminster edition is $84,000.
Only two options are available on the HSE: the $5,000 Luxury
Interior package and the Heated Accessories package, which
retails separately at $1,300. Both features are standard on
For 2004, Discovery's capability and value are both enhanced
to keep it a leader in the midsize SUV sector. A manually
locking center differential is now standard and, combined with
four-wheel electronic traction control; make this most capable
Discovery ever built. In addition, a new 'Aero' Roof Rail
System has been added along with three new exterior paint
colors: Adriatic Blue (replaces Oslo) Giverny Green and Maya
The Discovery "S" is well equipped at a manufacturer's
suggested retail price of $34,995. Pricing for the SE will be
$39,250 and $41,250 for the HSE. The new prices reflect the key
enhancements added as standard equipment and include $665
destination and delivery charge, which is a slight increase
from last year's $645 destination and delivery figure.
A limited production version of Discovery inspired by the
inaugural Land Rover G4 Challenge global adventure is also
available. The G4 Edition will have a MSRP of $39,995.
A striking new front-end design inspired by Range Rover and
a fresh new interior are the most obvious of the many changes
designed to build Freelander appeal, enhance the ownership
experience and increase overall value.
Land Rover has reconfigured the Freelander offerings for
2004 by dropping the entry level "S" model and increasing
content and the price/value of the SE and HSE variants.
The 2004 Freelander will be available in two models: the SE
with an MSRP of $25,995 and the HSE at $28,995.
The SE3, three-door model with removable hardtop, will
carryover its 2003 pricing and remain at $26,995, but will now
feature a standard in-dash 6-disc CD changer and integrated fog
"The 2004 Freelander has the most significant improvements
to the vehicle since its European introduction in 1997," said
Richard Beattie, executive vice president, Marketing and Sales,
Jaguar and Land Rover North America.
"The improvement in this Land Rover's value and its appeal
to urban drivers who want all-wheel drive security in a compact
package, gives us the perfect opportunity to realign and
simplify the model line-up."
With over 15,000 Freelanders sold in North America last
year, Land Rover increased its sales performance in the U.S. by
52 per cent.
LAND ROVER PRICING 2003 MY 2004 MY RANGE ROVER HSE $71,865 $72,250 RANGE ROVER WESTMINSTER N/A $84,000 DISCOVERY S $34,995 $34,995 DISCOVERY SE $38,995 $39,250 DISCOVERY HSE $40,995 $41,250 G4 LIMITED EDITION N/A $39,995 FREELANDER S $25,600 N/A FREELANDER SE $28,400 $25,995 FREELANDER HSE $32,200 $28,995 FREELANDER SE3 $26,995 $26,995 * all prices listed include destination and delivery charges with respect to the model year.

NHL players will have a lot to live up to, post-lockout
I was about eight years old when Joe Daley walked into my team's dressing room after a Saturday morning practice at Bronx Park Community Club.
First captain scored first WHA Jets goal
Winnipegger Ab McDonald had already been the captain of an NHL expansion team in Pittsburgh.
No rush to honour Jets alumni: Daley
Joe Daley believes the new Jets will recognize Winnipeg teams of years gone by in due time, and there's no rush.
Bobby Hull, Ben Hatskin got WHA off the ground
There would be no NHL in the city today, no Winnipeg Jets old or new, were it not for two people: Ben Hatskin and Bobby Hull.
Hat tipping WHA Jets founder Hatskin
Perhaps the quintessential Ben Hatskin story was told in the pages of Winnipeg Jets Magazine, in 1973.
Bobby Hull still the main attraction
I first wrote a version of this column eight years ago, when they were about to take a wrecking ball to the Winnipeg Arena.
Live WHA chat with Joe Daley
He's the only player who spent all seven WHA seasons with the Winnipeg Jets, a WHA historian and master of memorabilia.
'Tell 'em if they give me $1 million up front they've got themselves a hockey player': Hull's faceoff with WHA
The Golden Jet is on the other end of the line, more than happy to reminisce about the renegade league that put Winnipeg on the hockey map, 40 years ago.
WHA was the real deal: Bobby Hull
Sure, it had more than its share of questionable owners and bush-league antics over the years.
'It was a great time for hockey': WHA Jets reflect on 1972
I was six years old in 1972 and just old enough to remember that iconic hockey series between Canada and Russia, that stirring comeback by the boys wearing the Maple Leaf and, of course, the most memorable goal of a generation by Paul Henderson.
WHA Winnipeg Jets were living the dream
There were older players who were journeymen in the NHL, some career minor-leaguers, and some locals who were getting a chance to live the dream by playing on their hometown's first professional hockey team.

Raleigh, N.C. — The Senate gave key approval Thursday to a proposal requiring schools to teach students that abortion causes premature births, after the sponsor added instruction of other risk factors to the bill.
A final vote on Senate Bill 132 could come Monday, following a 41-5 vote on second reading.
The bill had said that the state's mandated health curriculum on reproductive health and safety should include information about the preventable causes of premature births, but it singled out only abortion as a "cause of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies."
Sponsor Sen. Warren Daniel, R-Burke, said dozens of studies have linked abortions with premature births, and state estimates show hospitalizing these preemies cost $98.8 million in North Carolina last year.
"There's a remarkable similarity between the level of risk for preterm birth associated with smoking and the level of risk for preterm birth associated with induced abortion in a previous pregnancy," Daniel said. "If there's a rationale for including the risks of smoking in preconception education, there's a rationale for including the risks of previous induced abortions."
Still, Daniel said, the heated discussion of the measure in the Senate Health Committee on Wednesday prompted him to offer an amendment that would add smoking, drinking, drug use and poor prenatal care to the list of risk factors for premature birth that would be included in instruction.
Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, said she also would like to add to the list of taught risk factors elective premature deliveries, whether induced or Cesarean section, that are done simply for the convenience of the mother or her obstetrician.
"All pregnancies should be carried to full term," said Kinnaird, who plans to offer an amendment to that effect before the final Senate vote on the bill.
Sen. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, was the only senator to speak against the bill, saying there is much disagreement in the medical community about the link between abortion and subsequent premature deliveries. She expressed concern that anyone who presents a conflicting opinion in a classroom might be disciplined for violating the law.
"The correlation between abortion and preterm delivery is not well settled science," Bryant said. "I'm concerned about teaching our students what is our opinion, religious belief, philosophical belief (or) minority expert point of view as some absolute science or medical evidence."

Admitted: A Novella
David A. Patterson Silver Wolf (Adelv unegv Waya)
Daniel becomes the new resident manager of First Step, a center for men with alcoholism or drug addiction. A fictional account of the experiences of the men in treatment and of Daniel as he works at First Step, attends school, and deals with his own addictions.
An Education Saved My Life: Silver Wolf's Path to Promise
David Patterson Silver Wolf (Adelv unegv Waya)
In An Education Saved My Life, Professor David A. Patterson Silver Wolf (Adelv unegv Waya) narrates his path from a difficult early family life, his introduction to alcohol and drugs as an adolescent, and a directionless early adulthood overshadowed by chemical dependency, to a series of events and encounters that transformed his life. Dr. Patterson Silver Wolf attributes not only the substance abuse, but the many turns that led to it, to what he calls a "poor belief system." As the title suggests, by contrast, he attributes much of the success he has experienced since then to his education, but attributes his success in education not to innate intelligence. "A strong belief system," he asserts, "is much more powerful than a strong IQ." He describes the process of building a strong belief system—for him, not only a set of beliefs for him to stand by, but a set of people and a community that believed in and supported him. Unlike many biographies, Dr. Patterson Silver Wolf does not simply relate experiences and offer conjecture as to personal motivations or possible causes, but weaves in relevant sociological research from his field of expertise as it touches on turns in the narrative, making his own life—and success—a case study, and a model for others to follow.
An Introduction to Set Theory and Topology
Ronald C. Freiwald
These notes are an introduction to set theory and topology. They are the result of teaching a two-semester course sequence on these topics for many years at Washington University in St. Louis. Typically the students were advanced undergraduate mathematics majors, a few beginning graduate students in mathematics, and some graduate students from other areas that included economics and engineering.
The usual background for the material is an introductory undergraduate analysis course, mostly because it provides a solid introduction to Euclidean space Rn and practice with rigorous arguments — in particular, about continuity. Strictly speaking, however, the material is mostly self-contained. Examples are taken now and then from analysis, but they are not logically necessary for the development of the material. The only real prerequisite is the level of mathematical interest, maturity and patience needed to handle abstract ideas and to read and write careful proofs. A few very capable students have taken this course before introductory analysis (even, rarely, outstanding university freshmen) and invariably they have commented later on how material eased their way into analysis.

Rebuilding Industry-Commerce in Saint Louis
City Plan Commission of Saint Louis
Industry-Commercial Rebuilding, City Plan Commission -- 1953.
Industry and commerce were the foundation for the steady growth and maturity of St. Louis. They were responsible for its development from a fur trading outpost near the confluence of the Mississippi Rivers to one of the world's great metropolitan centers. The City's unusually wide diversity of industry assured stability of income for the community, and progressive commercial establishments brought an attractive standard of living to its people.
Although the City's industry and commerce have prospered for nearly two centuries, recent years have seen considerable movement to suburban parts of the Metropolitan Area. Because this trends now threatens the economic stability of St. Louis, certain questions require immediate consideration:
1) What does the City offer? 2) What are the obstacles to redevelopment? 3) What can be done?

Week 6 preview
Published: October 13th, 2009 | Tags: Jason La Canfora, Week 6 preview
Week 6 has five games I'd put in the can't miss category, about the same as last week, and at least one that has the potential to be the best game of the first half of the season. Yes, there is also the requisite amount of apparent blowouts, and divisional games that will settle last place, and not first, but let's accentuate the positive, shall we?
Here's a preview of Week 6:
Giants at Saints: Eli Manning comes home and finally gets to play in the Superdome. Two undefeated teams hook up in what could be a precursor to the NFC Championship Game. Gregg Williams, the Saints' defensive coordinator, knows Manning well from his years in Washington. The Saints are fresh off a bye, while Manning's heel is at least a marginal concern. The Giants have been running over people on the ground. What a game.
Broncos at Chargers: If Denver can take its mojo on the road and knock off the only team equipped to potentially compete for the AFC West crown, it will be sitting pretty. The Broncos might let down after an emotional overtime win over the Patriots, while San Diego comes in amid turmoil after general manager A.J. Smith tore into the club during the bye week. We should learn a few things about the shape of this division after this one.
Ravens at Vikings: A few short weeks ago, Baltimore was atop many power rankings. But the defense hasn't been nearly as aggressive, or effective, the offense can't find the right balance between run and pass and the special teams has been iffy with penalties far too common. Cedric Benson ran wild against the Ravens last week and I heard this Adrian Peterson cat can play a little. Oh yeah, and Brett Favre is undefeated, in case you didn't notice. Great out of conference game.
Bears at Falcons: Chicago's bumps and bruises were curbed by the bye. Jay Cutler was in the zone and Johnny Knox was emerging. Atlanta's pass defense could be its undoing, and in the comfy confines of a dome, I'd think Cutler might take to the air. Roddy White is coming off a monster game for Atlanta and these two teams could end up in a struggle for a wildcard spot, with this a crucial tiebreaker.
Cardinals at Seahawks: If someone is going to push the 49ers in the NFC West, it will come from this coupling. Matt Hasselbeck tossed four touchdowns in his first game back from injury and Kurt Warner keeps humming along. Neither team has played great ball in all aspects, but the 'Hawks are tough at home and this could be a vital springboard for them into their bye. Crucial result for both teams.
Okay, here's the best of the rest, in order of projected watch-a-bility:
Titans at Patriots: Vince Young finally got some mop-up reps last week, but with the Titans 0-5, he needs to get some starts. Tennessee is by no means an awful club and if they put it together and create some confusion with Wildcat looks, an upset is possible. The Titans are going to win some games. New England is getting more healthy, and this could also be a big game for Tom Brady against a wounded Titans' secondary.
Texans at Bengals: As I write this, the game is a potential blackout, which I have to imagine is not the case. The Cardiac Bengals are pulling fourth-quarter miracles and are one miracle against them in Week 1 from being undefeated. Houston's scheduled for a win, based on their pendulum of erratic output, but the road is not very kind to the Texans as a rule. If the Texans are going to be a factor — which I couldn't see from the start of the season — they need to put a winning streak together.
Eagles at Raiders: With three healthy quarterbacks active, could Philly put up 70 points? I mean, even if you rest Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb in a blowout, you know Mike Vick would want to score some points if he got an extended look. If the Raiders are not the worst team in the NFL right now, I don't know who is.
Browns at Steelers: Always a grudge match, but Pittsburgh seems to be hitting its stride. The Browns have been competitive recently, but quarterback play is a massive issue for them. Hard to see them moving the ball much against this group.
Lions at Packers: Green Bay comes off the bye with something to prove. Pass protection must improve, immediately. The Lions have been pushing opponents and if they opt to rest Matthew Stafford again, Daunte Culpepper will be fine. The Packers can't afford to fall too far behind the Vikings, too soon, and already have the head-to-head defeat.
Bills at Jets: This, potentially, could be the end for Bills coach Dick Jauron, who, by all accounts, is as good of a human being as you will find in his profession (and I am not just saying that because he is a fellow Red Sox fan). If it is, we wish him all the best moving forward. The Jets' have hit some real adversity for the first time in the Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez regime. Maybe they alter the ultra-conservative offensive approach a bit this week, though, protecting and incubating Sanchez will always be paramount.
Chiefs at Redskins: A loss here might just spell the end for Jim Zorn. Kansas City put a mighty scare into the Cowboys last week. Still, this is two very flawed football teams getting together. Washington's ever-wilting offensive line — not a surprising development — might end up being the difference with Jason Campbell sacked five times last week.
Rams at Jaguars: Jacksonville's positive vibes took a turn for worst last weekend, with a humiliating loss on the field and some discipline issues off of it. Should be a great bounce-back opportunity for the Jags to remain in the periphery of the hunt. The Rams, frankly, are going to have a hard time competing against most teams, though getting Marc Bulger back might help.
Panthers at Buccaneers: Would have been more interesting had both teams been looking for their first win. Maybe the Panthers can put together a little mini-run and get back to their blue-collar ways and take some of the heat off coach John Fox as well.

Winterhawks win 4-1 in Victoria; tie WHL record with 28th road win
The Portland Winterhawks (54-12-1-2) defeated Victoria 4-1 Tuesday in their second straight game against the Royals (33-30-2-5).
The victory was the Hawks' 28th road win of the season, tying a WHL record with the 1999-00 Calgary Hitmen and 2008-09 Saskatoon Blades. The Hawks can set a new record in their final road game of the season Saturday in Seattle.
With the win, the Hawks have 111 points on the season, tying the 1978-79 and 1997-98 teams for second in team history, two points behind the team record of 113 points set in the 1980-81 season, with three games still to play.
The Royals struck first Tuesday when Taylor Crunk scored at the 19:32 mark of the first to give Victoria a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes, but that would be their lone tally of the night.
From there the Hawks dominated the second period, with a four-goal outburst starting with a power play goal from Ty Rattie 4:01 into the frame. The Hawks took their first lead when Dominic Turgeon scored at the 10:21 mark to make it 2-1, then extended it to 3-1 with a goal from Brendan Leipsic at the 15:51 mark. Taylor Peters then made it 4-1 Portland with a shorthanded goal at the 17:17 mark.
The two teams then skated to a scoreless third period as the Hawks finished with the 4-1 win, and a sweep of the four-game season series over Victoria.
Portland was 1-4 on the power play and a perfect 6-6 on the penalty kill.
The Hawks are back in action Friday when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds at 7 p.m. in the Rose Garden.

Scientists used the degraded strands to reconstruct the entire genetic code of the deadly bacterium. It is the first time experts have succeeded in drafting the genome of an ancient pathogen, or disease-causing agent.
The researchers found that a specific strain of the plague bug Yersinia pestis caused the pandemic that killed 100 million Europeans – between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of the total population – in just five years between 1347 and 1351.

Cleaning walls : Drywall and plaster
When you are cleaning the drywall and plaster in your home, you may need to be careful not to pull on loose pieces or you can end up with a large hole in the wall. Always keep in mind to limit the amount of water you are using to clean drywall that is not painted, as the drywall will soak up large amounts of water and then crack and split as it dries.
The very best way, but not the only way to clean a drywall or plaster wall, is to use a cellulose sponge and using your cleaning solution clean from the top to the bottom of the wall so any streaks or drips will be wiped as you work your way down a wall. A cellulose sponge is a rubbery type sponge that will still absorb liquids and can be rung out but it will 'hold up' a little longer than a paper towel or a regular sponge would. If you can't find a cellulose sponge through your home center, the next best answer for cleaning your walls is a large regular sponge that fits your hand but you may have to pick off a few little pieces if your sponge gets caught on textured walls.
►For deep cleaning on drywall or plaster that is not yet painted, using a solution of one cup of vinegar with one gallon of water you can dust off the area and prep it for painting.
►To clean simple dust and dirt from drywall or plaster that is not painted, using a few drops of your dish liquid and warm water, making sure you ring out your rag or sponge completely will give you a good clean.
►If you are prepping your unpainted drywall or plaster in the kitchen or in the dining room and you need to cut grease, use one cup of ammonia and a half-gallon of water. Using a sponge and a towel, wiping off grease and grime and then drying the area with a towel you will be ready to paint the next day. Leaving the walls to dry over night will make sure you are not sealing in any moisture in to the drywall or plaster which would make mold or mildew grow.
Cleaning Painted Drywall or Lath and Plaster Walls
If you know what type of paint was used on your walls you will be better prepared for how hard you can scrub or rub, latex will actually wear off if you scrub too hard or if you use too much water over time, but oil based paints last longer and are a more durable object to clean. No matter which type of paint you have in your home a matt paint is going to be harder to clean than a semi gloss or gloss paint. A semi gloss paint finish or a gloss paint finish will be easier to wipe but a gloss paint also reveal all of the imperfections in your walls so usually a semi gloss or a matt will be used throughout the home to hide drywall or plaster blemishes. So keeping this in mind let's get started.
►To cut grease odors and smoke odors from your walls, using a cup of vinegar to a half gallon of water you can use a sponge to clean your walls completely while leaving behind a fresh scent.
►To cut grease stains and smoke stains, a mixture of one-cup ammonia and a half-gallon of warm water will work wonders for cleaning your painted walls.
►Using three tablespoons of trisodium phosphate and a gallon of warm water you can clean your walls in the kitchen with ease. Trisodium phosphate can be bought at any local home center.
►If you found crayon marks on your wall, wiping it down with a rag wet with vinegar will remove this mark.
►You should not use scrub brushes or scratchy pads on your painted walls or you will be left with a 'torn up' finish on the walls. If you should happen to or someone else does this to your wall, simply sand with a piece of fine grit sand paper over the effected area, and repaint the surrounding area with matching paint for a quick fix and a finished look. Don't forget to wipe down the wall before painting it so that your paint has a smoother look and finish to it.
►You can use three tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with one gallon of hot water for a everyday dusting and cleaning of your walls. Starting from top to bottom wiping away dust, cobwebs and dirt will help cut down on the heavy cleaning you might have to do later on.
►Scuffmarks on your painted walls are easily removed with an eraser.
►Milk and food stains on the wall will wash off with a warm water and ammonia solution rubbed over the area. Repeat as needed for stains that have set a little longer.
►Spaghetti sauce is messy, sometimes children carrying their plates will make messes on the walls. So if you have found spaghetti sauce on your painted walls a mixture of warm water and vinegar will remove this stain in no time at all.
►Using a broom, attach a few dryer sheets to the end you can dust and de-static that lower portions of your walls at the same time.
►To clean painted walls that are near the floor, you can use a soft toothbrush, and a mixture of vinegar and water to clean the cracks between the wall and the floor for a deep clean.
►If you are remodeling your home and using drywall to patch the walls or cracks you can add a teaspoon of vinegar to your drywall mixture to keep the drywall from drying out too fast while you are still working with it.
►Have you found ink on your painted walls spray on a little bit of hairspray and have wet warm towel ready to wipe it up at the same time.
►Children are so well known for putting their stickers and their decals on walls and if you have found some stuck in your home, even if it appears they have been there a long time, you can use a cup of vinegar to two cups of warm water to spray over this area, then continue to spray on the decal to loosen the glue as you are pulling it off. Using an eraser you can get the left over gummy stuff off your walls by rubbing gently.

Booth Ranches is now GlobalG.A.P. certified
Booth Ranches LLC, Orange Cove, Calif., has added Matt Cheney to its sales staff, said Neil Galone, vice president of sales and marketing. Cheney is a recent graduate of California State University, Fresno.
The company has been GlobalG.A.P. certified by GlobalG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance. The certification covers all of the firm's farms and packing facilities.
Cecilia Packing Corp. awaits certification
Cecelia Packing Corp., Orange Cove, Calif., has been tweaking its operation as it nears its GlobalG.A.P. certification, expected in December, said sales manager Randy Jacobsen.
The audit process is comprehensive, he said. Auditors go from ranch to ranch to ensure that the operation meets GlobalG.A.P. standards.
Also, the company expects its cara cara orange crop to be up slightly compared with last year, with a start date around Dec. 1.
The firm's Sky Valley heirloom navel orange program should start about Jan. 1, and minneolas should be available by early February, Jacobsen said.
Chuck Olsen Co. hires citrus salesman
Pat Simas, most recently with Haven Packing & Cold Storage, Reedley, Calif., has joined the sales staff of Visalia, Calif.-based Chuck Olsen Co., said president Jeff Olsen. Simas will help with citrus sales during the winter and grape sales during table grape season.
The company began offering lemons from the California desert Oct. 7 and will source from the Central Valley the second week of November, Olsen said.
The firm will have navel oranges starting the first week of November.
Eco-Farm Corp. adds golden nuggets
Eco-Farm Corp., Temecula, Calif., is growing organic golden nugget tangerines in north San Diego County for the first time this year, said Steve Taft, president.
The program will start out small but may get bigger if it proves popular at retail, Taft said. About half of the fruit will be grown in the San Joaquin Valley.
Homegrown Organic Farms rolls out bags
Homegrown Organic Farms, Strathmore, Calif., is releasing a pouch bag this year for mandarins and some cara cara navel oranges, said Scott Mabs, chief executive officer.
The company also plans to move to a newly renovated building in Porterville, Calif., in late November. Homegrown's farming, sales and marketing departments will be based there.
The company also has installed a citrus line at its new packing and cold storage facility in Kingsburg, Calif. The facility will run stone fruit during the summer and some citrus in the winter.
The firm also plans to add pummelos to its citrus product line this season.
Limoneira acquires Associated Citrus
Santa Paula, Calif.-based Limoneira Co. has acquired Yuma, Ariz.-based Associated Citrus Packers Inc., said Alex Teague, senior vice president and chief operating officer for Limoneira Co.
The acquisition fits into Limoneira's program to serve the marketplace year-round.
"We now have control over fruit from one year to the next and can make long term commitments," Teague said.
Associated's citrus also fits into Limoneira's export market niche, he said. Associated's management is expected to remain intact.
Bill Spencer, president and chief operating officer of Associated Citrus Packers, retired July 31 after more than three decades with the family-owned company.
LoBue Bros. Inc. hires vice president
Norm Gatineau, most recently with Bee Sweet Citrus, Fowler, Calif., has been named vice president of sales and marketing for Lindsay, Calif.-based LoBue Bros. Inc.
Gatineau said the company expects to have a slight increase in navel orange volume this year along with more clementines and murcotts.
LoBue Bros. also is adding lemons out of the district 3 desert growing region and satsuma mandarins to its product line.
Mulholland Citrus adds sales and marketing VP
Mulholland Citrus, Orange Cove, Calif., has hired Archie Williams, previously with Pasadena, Calif.-based Sun Pacific Shippers, as vice president of marketing and sales, said Heather Mulholland, chief financial officer.
The company also has added Jennifer Estrada as horticulturist/pest control adviser and Aaron Gomez as sales coordinator.
The company, which grows clementines and other mandarins, expects volume to be similar to or slightly higher than last year, said Fred Berry, director of marketing.
Pacific Organic Produce adds lemons, grapefruit
Volume should be up about 15% this season on organic lemons and grapefruit from Pacific Organic Produce, San Francisco, said John Stair, domestic commodity manager.
Stair attributed the uptick to the addition of two growers.
The company started packing organic grapefruit the week of Oct. 14 and expects to continue until April.
The firm started harvesting lemons out of the California desert growing region in late September and will continue to pick in the desert through February.
Paramount Citrus buys Grimmway's deal
Delano, Calif.-based Paramount Citrus has acquired the citrus assets of Bakersfield, Calif.-based Grimmway Farms.
The addition will increase Paramount's navel acreage by 45% and its California fresh lemon carton volume by 43%.
"This adds 2.4 million packages (40-pound equivalents) to our annual citrus operation," said president David Krause.
Sunkist promotes new uses for grapefruit
Sherman Oaks, Calif.-based Sunkist Growers Inc. is promoting modern uses for grapefruit through its "Not Your Mother's Grapefruit" campaign, said Joan Wickham, manager of advertising and public relations.
The campaign is aimed at "reigniting the fruit's popularity by educating younger consumers about this delicious, nutrient-rich superfood," she said.
The product will feature vibrant packaging that promotes the nutrition and weight loss benefits of grapefruit.
An online brochure with information about the health and wellness benefits of grapefruit is available on Sunkist's website, sunkist.com.
Suntreat Packing increases Reserves
Volume should be up this year on Lindsay, Calif.-based Suntreat Packing & Shipping Co.'s Reserve Citrus line, said Al Imbimbo, vice president of sales.
The line, launched in 2012, includes oro blanco grapefruit, cara cara navels, reserve navels, gold nugget mandarins and seedless lemons. Imbimbo said the company will be especially focused on Reserve navels.
"We're really picking and packing for eating quality," he said. "It's all about the flavor."
This will be the fourth year for its Sumo Citrus easy-peel mandarin program, which runs from early February until the end of March.
"It's been overwhelmingly successful," Imbimbo said. "I have way more demand than I have supply."
The product has its own website, sumocitrus.com.
SunWest adds capacity, hires salesman
SunWest Fruit Co. Inc., Parlier, Calif., has hired a salesman, Gino DiBuduo, most recently with Mulholland Citrus, Orange Cove, Calif., and is adding packing and cold storage capacity, which should be ready by next spring, said salesman John Senn.
The company's product line includes navel oranges, cara caras, clementines and minneolas.
Senn said he expects the company's volume to be up this season.

Are You My Mentor?
During a long woodsy walk with a friend, she mentioned a junior colleague whose tenure-track career she's worried about. The colleague ("Jane") had not yet published anything but was doing great work teaching, and had volunteered to serve on committees at every level of the university—making an impact on the campus, but not on readers outside of its walls. My friend wanted to help usher Jane along the tenure trail, and asked me for suggestions.
Which is kind of funny, because it wasn't all that long ago that I was hectoring this very friend about her own lack of publishing. I had done everything I could think of to help: I had set up writing dates with her, asked about the status of her manuscripts, stopped asking, offered incentives, read her drafts, went for long walks to let her talk through her ideas. Finally, she wrote just enough to get tenure and is now in a position to try to help clear the path for those who are following her.
As we walked, I asked, How about a writing group made up of supportive department members? But my friend had already tried that; Jane just ended up upset each time they looked at one of her drafts. She understood their advice about what needed to be done, but she didn't think she could do it. With two little kids, a ton of service work, and an unholy course load, the thing she always let slide was the one she found the hardest to do: trying to publish.
Thinking out loud, more mindful of rocks and roots than of my friend's feelings, I offered that maybe Jane wasn't cut out for the job. Faculty gigs at four-year colleges and universities have three parts: teaching, service, and research. We're all expected to do each of them. While the proportions may vary, the publishing requirement is what separates us from high-school teachers and community-college professors (many of whom publish even though they are not required to). If you "just want to teach," there are places for that.
But if you can't do the research and writing, do you really belong at a university? Do you deserve tenure there?
Each institution gets to make that decision on each tenure case. At my own university, teaching and service loads are high, and research expectations and standards are relatively low. I'm not sure that is a bad thing given our demographics and mission. We have a high percentage not only of first-generation college students, but also of first-generation faculty members. We may not be churning out pathbreaking scholarship, but we are trying to create an informed citizenry.
Professors who are dedicated to teaching and making the environment better for students, who take seriously shared governance and student success, may well be as or more important than those who crank out yet another article on autumnal leaves in Paradise Lost or the depth of dinosaur footprints in sandstone. Why should everyone be expected to publish?
And then I come back to: Because that's an essential part of our job.
Maybe the reason Jane wasn't publishing was because she just wasn't a scholar. Maybe she'd been an excellent student, and as long as someone else was doling out assignments and expectations, she'd been able to thrive. But now, laboring under the need to generate her own questions, and with nothing more than her own intellectual stamina, she was foundering. There was no reason to believe that after receiving tenure she would start to produce groundbreaking articles and books. Perhaps helping her along on the tenure process was a step toward creating deadwood.
Then I stopped myself. If I followed that line of thought, I worried that it might create a situation in which the only people who could become tenured were those without children, or those without rich and varied lives. Possibly a proportion of them would not be great at teaching and service.
So for me, the question changed from "Who is cut out for the job?" to "How, once we hire someone, can we help that person succeed?" The latter seems to be an area in which many universities are failing.
Is it up to the friends of assistant professors to worry about them and try to find ways to help? Many who struggled to get tenure don't want to look back on that horrendous time and, in fact, often "forget" how hard it was for them; they take the opportunity to "remind" those who follow about standards they themselves failed to clear with a comfortable margin.
The best advice I could come up with for Jane was: "Don't have a life." One of my colleagues advises graduate students to "marry the right person"—presumably someone who won't mind if you privilege your work over all else. Or maybe the path to professorial success is to feel so invested in being a scholar that the idea of not publishing is unthinkable. I don't know how to foster any of those things in another person.
I've visited the teaching and learning centers at the University of Virginia, Macalester College, and Furman University. Each has a smart, creative, and knowledgeable staff devoted to trying to help faculty members. The centers offer resources like books, writing workshops, and support groups. They bring in speakers and pony up grants. These places take the challenges of faculty work seriously. But I've also heard professors at all ranks say they can't find the time to take advantage of the available aid, or that it doesn't quite fit what they need.
Recently, I've started to feel that way myself.
I earned tenure last year, and yet find myself badly in need of a mentor. While I didn't get or need a ton of help on my way up the tenure-and-promotion ladder, now I feel a bit lost. Where can I find someone who will help me think through not just my next book project, but also the trajectory of my career? Who will help me look at the ways I'm choosing to spend my professional time and nudge me in the directions that will yield the best long-term results, rather than just watch me react to each thing as it comes in?
My wonderful former literary agent (who left the business to run a publishing company—the nerve!) would urge me to think beyond an individual project and ask how it would help me get to the next stage. That question used to drive me nuts, especially since answering it often meant I realized I shouldn't do what I thought I wanted to do. By responding to things as they come up, my career and my life have taken fascinating twists. You never know when you'll get invited to run a 100-mile race in the Himalayas, give a talk in New Orleans, or be asked to write a personal essay about Title IX. These surprises keep me alert to possibility and much good has come of them.
But merely reacting is not a career strategy. You (or maybe it's just me) can end up frittering away your time. So instead of feeling secure in my tenured status, I feel a lack of direction. I'm worried about the quality of my work: How do I push myself to be better? More ambitious? What should my next big goal be? Lately it seems I've been stuck more than I've been moving forward. I know this predicament is something only I can figure out, but boy would it be great to have someone to bounce it off and to ask me the hard questions.
From my years as a book editor, I'm useful at helping others with this stuff and happy to do so. But I want and need someone to help me, too. So much of educationese centers on "student success." You can't argue with that. But I wonder if we need to realize that in order to help students, we have to invest in faculty success as well.
Go online for three minutes and you can find someone to clean your house, shrink your head, or accompany you on long romantic walks on the beach. You can find people who will meet to run with you at exactly your pace. But where do you find a mentor? Where do you find someone who understands your particular niche in the academic world and has the kind of specific expertise you value? Someone who does what you do—but better—and is willing to invest the time in you?

Facts and Events
Brian Breifneach Ua Conchobair, Prince of Connacht, fl. 1156.
Brian Breifneach was one of some twenty-two sons of King Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair of Connacht (1088-1156. His nickname, Breifneach, indicates that he was fostered in Breifne, probably by King Tigernan Ua Ruairc.
Upon the death of Tairrdelbach at Dunmore, County Galway in spring 1156, Brian was apparently considered a very creditable successor to the kingship. Other candidates were his brothers Ruaidri Ua Conchobair, Brian Luighneach and Muirchertach Muimneach.
To prevent this, Ruaidri arrested Brian Breifneach, Brian Luighneach and Muircheartach Muimneach. As an extra precaution, he had Brian blinded, preventing him from becoming an active contender. Ruaidhri went on to serve as king of Connacht from 1156, and King of Ireland from 1166, till he was deposed in 1183.

CBO: Budget deficit will drop to $845 billion
On Tuesday, President Obama asked Congress for a short-term deficit reduction package.
"If Congress can't act immediately on a bigger package -- if they can't get a bigger package done by the time the sequester is scheduled to go in to effect -- then I believe they should at least pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms that would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months until Congress finds a way," Obama said.
Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, discussed the proposal and other top tax topics with Capital Insider.

Nearly 50 Princeton area business owners expressed property-tax discontent to State Rep. Sondra Erickson, R-Princeton, and State Sen. Dave Brown, R-Becker, during a meeting organized by the Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce in Princeton on Monday.
The meeting was conducted at the Northern Attitudes Bar & Grill, where owner Carol Dalske was one of the many business people who expressed frustration about their property taxes jumping significantly in 2012.
Others saying the same included Joe Glenn, owner of Glenn Metalcraft; Scott Berry, a local attorney and president of the chamber; Jeremy Riddle, owner of Northwoods Animal Hospital and mayor of the city of Princeton and Mike Haehn who has ownership in ACE Hardware and at least one other local enterprise. Berry said it is difficult to get businesses to fill the downtown's spots if the taxes are too challenging.
Also contributing to the discussion were Princeton City Council members Dick Dobson, Thom Walker and Victoria Hallin, and Mille Lacs County Commissioners Jack Edmonds and Dan Whitcomb. Hallin said that if the Legislature had not put in place the market value exclusion for homes below the $413,800 value, the situation wouldn't likely be as bad as it is now for so many businesses and industries.
Walker suggested that one avenue for owners of businesses in Mille Lacs County who are frustrated over the new property tax structure is to bring the message to state officials via the board of review meetings. Those are the meetings where property owners can complain about their assessments. There just might be a chance that a property owner could start with the April 5 board of review meeting in Princeton city hall and keep appealing any decision there on up through the county level to the state, he said.
Glenn, however, said he did not have an issue with the property assessment on his Glenn Metalcraft buildings, just with the resulting property taxes.
Glenn had built a new 30,000 sq. ft. building, with an additional 6,000 sq. ft. of outside storage and the property taxes payable this year on that are $72,000. Adding that to the $38,000 property tax on his original plant, makes for a $110,000 property tax bill this year.
The amount of property taxes weigh into a business owner's decisions when it comes time to consider expansion or where to have their business, Glenn said. Glenn Metalcraft is in the city's main industrial park, which is in Sherburne County.
Dalske's property tax situation at Northern Attitudes is that the taxes on her property rose 12.1 percent last year and 11.7 percent this year. Dalske noted the assessed valuation stayed the same in 2011 and dropped by $5,600 this year.
Business owner Haehn presented an ominous scenario of property taxes for businesses eventually becoming so unbearable that the business scene could collapse like the housing market did. Council member Walker added that even banks may get to where they wouldn't want to keep those businesses if the owners couldn't continue paying the business mortgages. Then they could be taken back by the county as a tax default, he said.
Mille Lacs Commissioner Whitcomb quipped that the county wouldn't get such properties until after seven years of taxes not being paid.
Whitcomb also took issue with a statement by Erickson that counties had pushed for the change that was made in the property tax structure. Princeton city resident Leana Linder also spoke about the property taxes, as well as utility costs for people living in the city. Between the electric, sewer and water rates and property taxes it is too expensive to live in the city, said Linder. She added that all levels of government waste too much.
That was part of the message from Jon George, co-owner of the downtown's Princeton Mall and Marv's True Value, located just over the city boundary in Baldwin Township in Sherburne County.
When Erickson called on George to give his thoughts, he noted that the taxes on the mall this year rose 10.3 percent and the taxes on the store went up 10.4 percent. "I think the whole thing starts with what is being spent in St. Paul," George said, referring to the state government. He added that it also holds true for governments at the city and county level.


text: World 14 June 2013 Arming the Syrian rebels would be an act of historic folly Adding weapons to a civil war will only exacerbate Syria's suffering. The UK must not follow the American lead. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The US now claims the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government crosses its "red line", setting in train the "enormous consequences" Obama threatened last year. Yet it is essential we see evidence before we leap to conclusions – Iraq casts a long shadow. We also need greater clarity on what promises of "military support" actually mean. The west would be committing an act of historic folly if it decided to arm the rebels or provide other lethal equipment. We do not have to follow the American lead. Sometimes good friends tell each other when they are going wrong. In answer to questions from myself and others, the Prime Minister has made it clear that there will be a full debate and vote in the House of Commons before we increase our aid to the Syrian rebels. MPs will certainly hold him to this promise. Providing lethal support to the rebels, or directly intervening in this civil war, would be foolhardy in the extreme. We must guard against mission creep. The more we edge closer to direct involvement, the more we become responsible for events on the ground. And the more we would find it difficult to extricate ourselves. How would we track and trace the additional weaponry to ensure it does not fall into the hands of extremists on the rebel side? We know that some factions, such as the al-Nusra Front, are forging links with terrorists and jihadists such as al-Qaeda. Some of the rebel groups have also committed atrocities. Short of placing troops on the ground, it would be very difficult to ensure that any weapons only reach moderate elements. Meanwhile, it beggars belief that some maintain that adding weapons to a civil war will not inflate or add to the suffering. Pouring more weapons into this conflict can only increase the violence and casualties. This is one reason why charities such as Oxfam, which have people on the ground, have publicly argued in recent weeks that the west should not arm the rebels. We should also be aware of the possible consequences of any such policy beyond Syria's borders. The debate so far has been couched in terms of the conflict within the country. But Syria represents a melting-pot for a proxy war that is being fought out either directly or indirectly at various levels: whether it is Sunni versus Shia, the west versus China or Russia, or Iran versus Saudi Arabia. Pouring more arms into Syria would not only escalate the violence within the country, it could also extend the conflict beyond Syria's borders. This would be a mistake of historic proportions. Our track record of arming groups or individuals in the region is not good. We armed the Mujahideen in the 1980s and backed Saddam Hussein when he attacked Iran – only to subsequently find some of these weapons being used against us. The west should instead redouble its other efforts. There is a huge humanitarian crisis, both in Syria and beyond its borders. Refugee camps in both Jordan and the Lebanon are desperately short of basic amenities. And yet, the west stands by and does very little. Meanwhile, our diplomatic efforts have been half-hearted. The Russians are the elephant in the room and they are organising a conference in Geneva. Yet the west plans to exclude Iran from the talks. This is madness. The old adage that you make peace with your enemies, not with your friends, is apposite. The situation inside Syria is desperate and we should not pass up any opportunity to resolve it, even if it requires swallowing a bitter pill. We need to learn the lessons of history. Promoting democracy through force of arms is often counter-productive. Democracy is taking root across North Africa and the Middle East, which has received little by means of western aid or assistance. Conversely, it is struggling in Iraq or Afghanistan, despite the high cost to the west in blood and treasure. Interventions in the past have tended to have an 'embedding' effect. If anything, they have had the unintended consequence of strengthening existing regimes. It is notable, for instance, that communism has survived longest in those countries that have engaged militarily with the west: Korea, China, Vietnam and Cuba. Persuasion through diplomacy and 'soft power' has often been far more effective. Our record of intervention in the Middle East, in particular, has not been good. I fear with Syria it will be no different. Let us hope we do not repeat the errors of the past.
