A 49-year-old Nobleboro man is facing drug charges following a raid on his home on Upper East Pond Road early this morning.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, members of the Lincoln County Drug Task Force and the Maine State Police Tactical Team executed a search warrant at the home of Lisa Wallace and Randall Simmons around 4:30 a.m.
Officers did not make a forced entry into the home, but rather contained the residence until the occupants exited the home to meet the officers. The warrant was executed without incident.
According to the LCSO, the decision to request the assistance of the State Police Tactical Team was based upon several factors including Simmons' violent criminal history, suspected drug activity, and the suspected presence of firearms.
During the search of the premises, officers seized approximately two ounces of processed marijuana along with several items of drug paraphernalia.
Simmons was charged with Furnishing Scheduled Drugs, Class C, and released pending an appearance in court.

10 things to celebrate about Swindon. No 1: Parks and Green spaces
A: Lydiard Park and house
When I first conceived this blog I needed a starting point. So I came up with the idea of 10 things to celebrate about Swindon. This post is No 1: Parks and Green spaces – Lydiard Park.
November 2014: Sadly the stormy weather of Christmas 2013 destroyed the ancient walnut tree pictured below. Go here for more information about it.
Below is a picture I took the day before the storm came in and destroyed it.
Swindon is a town blessed with a huge amount of green space. It's my understanding Swindon is classified as the greenest town in England.
Its green spaces range from the formal Town Gardens with its lovely bandstand, to large green areas, including a stately home and park in West Swindon: Lydiard House and Park.
I live a hop, skip and a jump from Lydiard Park but don't go nearly as often as I should. However, even if I don't utilise it too often many people do. It's popular with runners, families out on bikes, dog-walkers, strollers and, in the summer months, picnickers and BBQers. If only more people would take their blasted litter away with them. How hard can it be? Grrr!
Lydiard House and Park
As the website says: Lydiard Park is a beautiful historic estate on the western edge of Swindon, with the Palladian House, Church and Walled Garden, set in 260 acres of parkland. The children's play area, Cafe & Tea Rooms, events and education programmes make Lydiard Park a great destination for a family day out.
And on Lydiard House: 'At the heart of the park is Lydiard House – a striking Grade I listed Palladian house that for 500 years was home to the St John family. The ground floor state apartments of Lydiard House have been beautifully restored and are open to visitors to view the ornate plasterwork and original family furnishings displayed alongside portraits and photographs of the St John family.Your visit starts in the grand Main Hall, which was originally the impressive entrance to the St John's family home as well as being a space for dancing and entertainment. To the right, you will find the Library, lined with bookshelves decorated with classical plaster busts of famous philosophers.'
NB: See Secret Swindon and Swindon in 50 Buildings for mentions of the house at Lydiard and St Mary's Church.
A few years ago (okay a LOT of years ago) I was given, to celebrate a special birthday, a hot air balloon flight from the park. It took place on a perfectly clear, warm, sunny early September evening. The operators inflated the ballon in front of the house and when we 'took off' and floated right over the house it was so, so magical. One of the loveliest experiences I've ever had. Simply amazing.
St Mary's Church
Just behind the house is the Parish Church of St. Mary's, Lydiard Tregoze. This is a gorgeous little church. It has closed in pews – something I'd not come across before. There's recently been a big conservation project going on there so it's well worth visiting if you've not been.
"St Mary's is one of England's finest small churches and dates back to the 12th century. It is packed with fascinating monuments to the St. John family including St John Polyptych, erected by John St John in 1592 and the Golden Cavalier, a full-size effigy of Edward St John, who died in battle in the English Civil War in 1644."
I went up there for a walk just before Christmas (2013) and here a few pictures I took. It was a lovely sunny day and was even relatively mild. The house always looks very lovely in the sunshine.
Sunday 29th December 2013 – more photos:
Other parks are available
In no particular order, just some of the other parks/green spaces Swindon boasts are: Town Gardens, Queen's Park, The GWR Park, the Polo Ground, Coate Water, Shaw Forest Park and Barbary Castle – a misleading name as it's not actually a castle at all.

College area scout Todd Brunner covered some significant ground this week as he continues his search for top talent! Find out where his search took him in the last week in this latest blog. **
Tuesday I went to University of Buffalo and checked out three players. I met with the coaches there. They've got a new coaching staff. The old Nebraska quarterback Turner Gill is the head guy. They are trying to do the right things and hopefully they can get it turned around there. One of the players there is Gene Upshaw's nephew. He's a tight end and he's got decent hands and I think he's got a chance of getting in someone's camp.
The Anchor Bar is the original home of buffalo wings but Duff's is pretty good and I've heard from some people that it might be even better so that's where I went. They were very good. Normally I get hot wings but I got medium and they were definitely hot. You needed a towel to dry off after eating those.
From there I went to Syracuse and watched practice and tape, talked to the head coach. They've got a handful of guys, most intriguing is a corner. He's an interesting specimen. They've got two linebackers who are also good looking kids and have a chance. A couple of them have a chance to be drafted so we've got to keep an eye on them.
Wednesday afternoon I left Syracuse and drove over to watch practice at Albany because they have a corner there that I wanted to see in action. I'm glad I went.
I continued on that evening to Amherst and checked into my hotel. Thursday morning I went over to the University of Massachusetts. I met with the coaches there in the morning and watched tape on five of their guys. Of all the I-AA's I've been to, personally I think these guys are the best team that I've looked at this season. They are fifth in the country right now. They've got a running back, a punter, wide receiver, and two safeties. The wide receiver is the son of University of Virginia and ex-NFL coach Mike London. His kid looks the part, has nice size and good hands. He should be in someone's camp, if not drafted next year. Being the son of a coach, you can see that he understands the game and how to prepare for it.
On Thursday night I drove over to Boston and it was actually a long day because they didn't practice until 5PM. I actually went over to Barnes & Noble for a few hours to work on my reports in between watching tape and waiting for practice to start which was a nice atmosphere. I enjoy going there because it's quiet.
Friday morning I went back into Boston College for my second look and watched tape of the three games they've played since I was last there. Like I've said before, their offensive line is their strong suit, and I'm a fan of their guys there.
They were actually playing the University of Buffalo on Saturday so Friday night I met up with their offensive coordinator who was a wide receiver coach in Philadelphia during my time there. I enjoyed getting together with him.
Saturday I attended the game and as expected B.C. dominated from the start even though it was a monsoon. The rain was unbelievable. The Northeast had a ton of rain this weekend and most of it came during the game.
I drove home from Boston Saturday night and then on Sunday night I went to the Rutgers/UCONN game. The Rutgers won and they are one of three undefeated teams in the Big East. Their next game is November 9 against Louisville which will be the biggest game in Rutgers history as both of these teams are currently undefeated.
There's a lot of buzz and excitement around here in regards to this Rutgers team. This is the first time they've been 8-0 in I think over 30 years. They are ranked 12th right now in the BCS, and I'll be going in there this week to watch tape on all of their prospects, and I'll tell you about that in my next blog.

Brindisa Smoked Catalan Almonds
A major favourite snack amongst the Seven Cellars team - in fact when Matt's working we always find an empty packet stuffed down the side of the till - he's got good taste, granted as these almonds are excellent. These have been smoked slowly overnight and have a deeply woody aroma that's well balanced by the sweet and creamy almonds. They are delightful with a glass of cold sherry or any aperitif.

Lady went into coma or possibly dead while twerking in the club
A video circulating around on social where a young lady in a club trying to twerk by lifting her legs up the air however and unfortunately for her she twist her neck and landed on the ground.
It is a painful experience when you watch the video and please ladies do not try this act at home or anywhere if you don't know what you are doing or you are not professionally trained.
Sometimes ladies/slay queens as they call them this days do so much trying to show off or impress people which is not necessary and get themselves into trouble. In my opinion I think you can still pass on the message however do it the right way and people will still notice you. Hope nothing serious happens to her and that she's safe.

Betting on Bacteria
Seldom are bacteria mentioned in
a positive light in foodservice settings. However, in the case of probiotics,
these healthy bacteria are creeping their way slowly, but surely, into
Red Mango, well known for its non-fat frozen yogurt, has announced plans to become the nation's first restaurant chain to offer made-to-order iced teas fortified with probiotics. The three flavors of enhanced teas are Lemonocity (a lemonade green tea), Mysteaque (vanilla black tea) and Fanteasia (wildberry hibiscus tea), and all promise to be low in calories and to "contain a significant amount of probiotics," as well as the natural benefits of antioxidants.
Red Mango opted to enhance iced teas, because it is "one of the fastest-growing segments of beverages, but [they] often aren't very nutritious." So, the chain sought to make iced teas that fit its image: natural and with the health benefits of probiotics.
Red Mango may claim to be the first to add probiotics to tea, but another company has been striving to incorporate the positive bacteria into its offerings. Last year, NakedPizza, formerly known as World's Healthiest Pizza, introduced what it claims was the first delivery pizza in the U.S. fortified with a high-survivability probiotic. Incorporated into its Prebiotic Multi-Grain Crust, the probiotic purportedly had no impact on the taste of the pizza. As Jeff Leach, co-founder of the company, explains, "The addition of probiotics to our Prebiotic Multi-Grain Crust does not affect taste and enhances the nutritional profile of our immune-boosting pizza. This is a big deal for our business and consistent with our mission to demonstrate that pizza can be part of a healthy lifestyle."
Burger Emerger
To paraphrase a line
from Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers, "Looks like burgers are back on the menu, boys!" Granted,
these may not be the burgers that traditionally come to mind. McDonald's has
recently added an Angus burger to its menu; Burger King continues to experiment
with "angry" burgers and sliders. The latter can be found in a variety of forms
at fast-casual restaurants, and short-menu burger restaurants, like Five Guys
and In-N-Out Burger, are steadily emerging from cult status to national
Even steakhouse chains are entering the fray, with Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar's introduction of a Prime Burger. The 8oz of Prime beef is hand-shaped and then cooked, using the same preparation techniques as those used for the restaurant's steaks: seasoned with kosher salt and coarse black pepper, seared on a flat-top to create a slight crust and then finished in a broiler. After being topped with Cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon, the Prime Burger is served open-faced on a knotted challah bun and presented with two colossal onion rings.
Increasingly, chefs are regarding the simple burger as something of a test of their culinary imaginations, explains a recent issue of Business Week. Richard Blais, well-known for his run on the third season of television's Top Chef and chef-owner of Atlanta's Flip, has a $35 Japanese Kobe beef burger with seared foie gras and truffle oil, as well as less-expensive options featuring burgers made from lobster, shrimp, smoked salmon and mushrooms. He has even incorporated his trademark molecular gastronomy into burgers with one option: they are prepared sous-vide (from the French for "under vacuum"), cooked inside an airtight plastic bag over a long period at a low temperature. While celebrity chef Bobby Flay believes burgers should be 100%-certified Angus sirloin and chuck, Blais' beef burgers are a blend of brisket, hangar steak and short rib--the same blend as found at Larent Tourondel's BLT Burger restaurants. pf

Lin-Manuel Miranda began writing what would become In the Heights as a university student. The musical play would launch him as a playwright and performer. Now, 20 years later, a movie version is in theaters for its first weekend.
Miranda said like other artists, he was driven by ambition – but also by something else.
"It was a lot of fear, honestly," Miranda said in a recent interview. "I was 18, 19 and starting to study theater. The fear was: I'm going into a field that has no space for me, that has no roles for me. It was sort of that thing of: No one's going to write your dream show."
In the Heights opened on June 10. It celebrates many things: the Latino immigrant experience, neighborhood communities in New York City and life itself.
The movie was supposed to be released last June, but was delayed by the coronavirus health crisis. The film's director, however, thinks the delay was not necessarily a bad thing. Moviegoers might be ready for some energetic music, singing and dancing after a year of restricted life.
In the Heights Director Jon M. Chu calls the movie, "a vaccine of joy."
"On the first day of shooting, we all got in a circle and I was like: Let go of all the pressure. Let's just entertain…these people," Chu remembers.
On Wednesday, In the Heights played at the Tribeca Film Festival with showings across New York City. It has won praise from critics.
The filmmakers hope In the Heights can be for Latinos what Black Panther was for Black Americans and what Crazy Rich Asians was for Asian Americans. Hispanics are the largest minority in the United States. They make up an even larger percentage of moviegoers. But, the minority is underrepresented in Hollywood productions.
Chu said, in the end, it is moviegoers who decide. Crazy Rich Asians, which Chu also directed, was a surprise pop culture hit that led to changes in the movie industry.
"For the culture!"
In the Heights tells a story about a Dominican-American store owner Usnavi who dreams of returning to the Caribbean area. Miranda himself played Usnavi in the theater version. Actor Anthony Ramos, a native of New York City's Bushwick area, performs the part in the movie.
Ramos said he experienced many of the things shown in the movie. "There are shots of the food that I grew up eating, the music that I grew up listening to," he said.
A sense of responsibility weighed on Ramos during the filming in Washington Heights. Before shooting, Ramos would shout to the crew: "For the culture!" — a custom he learned from director Spike Lee while working on one of his movies.
"It meant that we are all here, in this moment, doing this film and telling this story for something that is way bigger than any [of] us," said Ramos. "This is for everybody who had to sacrifice, who had to break doors open."
Director: 'This is what we're here for'
Many performers involved in the first In the Heights Broadway show appear in the movie's final song and dance. Students from a nearby high school also can be seen in the film. The students had produced their own In the Heights show which the filmmakers watched and found moving.
"It just showed us: This is what we're here for," said Chu.
Others starring in the movie include Leslie Grace as Nina Rosario, a college student home for the summer; Corey Hawkins as Benny, a taxi driver; and Melissa Barrera as Vanessa, a beauty salon worker trying to get her own home. Thirty-year-old Barrera said the part she plays as a young woman seeking a better future away from home — is basically herself.
Barrera was born in Mexico.
"I feel like I've worked really hard in my career but there's always something, like, what is it that I'm missing?" said Barrera. "I was that girl. I left Mexico. I knew I wasn't going to be able to become a performer in my hometown."
When the film was early in development, there was an interest in getting famous singers to play some parts. But Miranda strongly believed that In the Heights should help grow the Latino stars the industry has been lacking. The creators also decided to include some current issues in the story.
"Once we decided on now, there was a lot of room to grow," said Quiara Alegría Hudes. She wrote the screenplay and, earlier, the book for the theater production. "I live in Washington Heights. Part of how I write is by just walking around and listening."
Miranda has seen many changes since the first 2008 Broadway performance. He noted that theater attendance numbers for Latinos went up in 2008, the year his musical was released. Then, he said the numbers decreased.
"In a lot of ways, time has caught up to In the Heights," Miranda said.
I'm Caty Weaver. And I'm Dan Novak.

How to pick the trusted home buyer for you?
The greatest error that home dealers make while picking a posting specialist is in choosing one dependent exclusively upon two factors: the most elevated list cost for their home and the least commission. Explore https://www.wejustbuyhouses.com/ where you can sell your house for the best price.
Here is how anybody could pick the home buyer for you. They are as follows,
- Specialists can't let you know how much your home will sell for. To say that they can is a paradox. A posting specialist can show you similar deals, forthcoming deals, and dynamic deals. However, you pick the deals cost, and a buyer will let you know whether the cost is correct. A specialist can recommend the rundown value that will draw in a buyer.
- Realtors are not equivalent; each is one of a kind. Each has their own marketing procedures and publicizing spending plan. By picking a specialist with a huge publicizing financial plan and company dollars to match it, you could acquire more noteworthy exposure to a bigger number of buyers. That is great, since arriving at a more prominent number of imminent buyers implies a superior possibility getting a decent proposition.
- A decent posting specialist lives and passes on by marketing. That is on the grounds that legitimate publicizing of a house makes the deal. Request to survey a total duplicate of the specialist's marketing plan. You ought to explicitly ask what the specialist's plan is for selling your home. Selling your house to https://www.wejustbuyhouses.com/ is definitely the best choice.
Understand More About CBG Hemp Flower
CBG is one of the most misunderstood compounds among cannabis products. cbg strains is an acronym for Cannabigerol; yes, it is a cannabinoid. However, it is not an intoxicating compound.
Instead, it is a non-intoxicating molecule that has some medical value. For instance, CBG can be used to treat cancer as well as many other ailments, including anxiety and insomnia. It is also effective in treating dermatitis and has antipsychotic properties. Many people are not using organic cannabis containing CBG because it does not cause a psychoactive effect.
It would instead take you on a spiritual journey. That's why most people prefer the effects of the CBD strains or CBD products on the market today. CBG has been found to offer the same benefits as certain tryptamine-rich plants like ayahuasca for spiritual purposes.

The molecular structure of CBG tells us that it is less stable than the other cannabinoids. However, the research has found that it is not reactive with other cannabinoids and can even be used as a building block to making other compounds.
Although CBG does not have psychoactive properties, it is still present in commercial hemp oils. Many people prefer this type of cannabis product to CBD products, and there are several reasons why they prefer it. For instance, CBD has been shown to have negative qualities such as causing anxiety and paranoia while exhibiting specific side effects like vomiting and diarrhea. Also, most people avoid using CBD because they feel uncomfortable buying marijuana products from places like smoke shops.

Pest control for pet-owners is important to keep your pet and home safe from pests. By following these tips, you can help to prevent pests from taking over your home.
Advantages of Selling a House With Cash House Buyers
If you need a fast and hassle-free sale, cash house buyers, who buy houses with cash, are worth considering. As an alternative to house-buying services that take a percentage of your home's costs as profit, cash buyer services will purchase your property for the total value without requiring repairs or renovations. They don't need to wait for the first purchaser to come along – they'll buy it as is, regardless of its condition. When you decide to sell your house, there are various options you can choose from. When choosing a house selling service, keep the following tips in mind. Visit https://www.myershousebuyers.com/ and get to learn more.
Knowing some cash-purchase advantages before getting started will help you make an informed decision about what type of house-selling service to use. Cash buyers purchase homes for the total value instead of a percentage of their value. House buyer companies who take a percentage of your house's value as payment will sometimes conflict with your goals for sale. House-buying services that charge a percentage fee may deny your request to sell at full value and, instead, may try to persuade you to lower the price. On the other hand, a cash buyer service will offer what it considers a fair price, which is typically the full value of your home.
Cash house buyers are willing to pay cash for homes in any condition or location. They don't care if you live in a quiet residential neighborhood or an urban area; they'll buy it as is – regardless of its condition.
Fundamental Tips That Cattle Owners Should Know
Origins of Wagyu Beef Steaks
Wagyu is a breed of cattle that is genetically predisposed to exceptional marbling and produces a higher percentage of unsaturated fat than other breeds. The marbling ratio can be as standard as 90 percent fat and 10 percent meat. Although taste is subjective, beef produced from this animal is superior to any other beef in both tenderness and flavor. Most of this meat here in the wagyuwetrust.com United States is rated at least two grades higher than prime meat.
What Is Wagyu Beef?
Wagyu beef is actually defined differently and uses a twelve-point scale. Japan's most prized beef would score twelve, compared to USDA's 5-6 on the same scale. Wagyu standards traditionally raised in Japan are much higher than the average American. The Japanese demand that the cattle be of pure origin and raised all their lives on local herbs and water. It must be a bull or a virgin cow, and the longer time it takes to raise cattle for consumption, along wagyuwetrust.comwith shortages, increases the price of this type of beef. The Japanese are known for raising their cattle with extreme care, from diet to massage. Unfortunately, this led to the sale of "Imposter Beef". Japanese Wagyu cattle were bred with Angus cattle here in the United States to create a cross called Kobe beef.
Beef is Beneficial to Human Health
Don't fool yourself. Only 100% purebred Wagyu cattle can produce the beef that consumers want and meet the higher standards they expect. Consumers should be aware that many of the wagyuwetrust.com Kobe beef advertised online are actually up to 50 percent fake. In addition, many wholesalers sell low-density Wagyu products at a much lower price. These lower quality Wagyu products do not meet the higher standards set by Japan and are at the lower end of the twelve-point grading scale.

Dear Pool & Billiard Magazine-
I wanted to reach out with a potential story. A couple of guy's in Minnesota started a FB group for isolation tournaments.
All tournaments are done on FB live and are a player playing the ghost, with a point system, the person with the highest points wins the tournaments.
It started with a just a few people and have grown to maybe over 1000 with players playing matches 24/7. It is amazing to see all the home pool rooms and skill levels that have been from low lever players to a few pros.
I'm… trying… to recognize a pool community that has found a fun way to compete and meet other players. The page is called Isolation tournaments with the originators being Jason Soupir and Ryan Klinger https://www.facebook.com/groups/267444234415987/?epa=SEARCH_BOX
Thank you, Steve Tapper

Automatic Dancing
Automatic Dancing (1112131411)
Concept/Choreography Rachel Boggia (Dance) & Bill Seeley (Philosophy)
Performed as Part of Things that Travel
Schaeffer Theater, Bates College, November 12-14, 2011
Automatic Dancing (1112131411) explores a tension in Sol LeWitt's (1928-2007) writings on Conceptual Art. The multimedia performance builds on material and ideas originally developed for automatic drawing by Bill Seeley in collaboration with his philosophy of art students and, more recently, with Rachel Boggia and Matt Duvall at Bates College for The Collaborative Drawing Project (2007- 2011). LeWitt wrote:
In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art (Paragraphs on Conceptual Art. Artforum, June 1967).
There are decisions that the draftsman makes, within the plan, as part of the plan. Each individual, being unique, if given the same instructions would understand them differently and would carry them out differently…The artist must allow various interpretations of his plan…The draftsman perceives the artist's plan, then reorders it to his experience and understanding… The artist and the draftsman become collaborators in making the art…All wall drawings contain errors, they are a part of the work (Wall Drawings. Arts Magazine, April 1970).
LeWitt's early location drawings can be thought of as uncontrolled collaborative installations, improvisational performances of a choreographed score, artworks whose ultimate composition depends as much on the interpretive judgments of the draftsmen as on the original recipe itself. Automatic Dancing combines LeWitt's drawing methods with Cunningham/Cage's chance procedures to explore the role and aesthetic potential of the performers' share in this process. A random sequence generator automatically constructs a unique location drawing score from a vocabulary of seven marks and two phrases for each performance that the dancers read, interpret, and translate on the fly. Live video capture is used to articulate the dynamic relationship between the phrases and the score. What emerges is an understanding of the way process and the structural properties of a range of media push, pull, and shape artistic production and the consumers' experience of the work.
The scoring technique for Automatic Dancing was originally developed as a hands-on teaching tool for courses in philosophy of art. The goal of the associated exercises was to help non-art students explore the range of ways that artistic media constrain the expressive practices of artists. Students were asked to develop and test sets of instructions for the construction of simple geometric marks and figures. The instructions would be randomly sorted, distributed to groups of draftsmen, and used to make eight by twenty-four foot geometric drawings. Instructions for the scaling, positioning, and orientation of the marks were given relationally, or relativized to the size and orientation of other marks on the page and the current position and orientation of the artists' body, e.g. start at the spot just in front of your nose, look down to the left, and snap a chalk line to the point where your gaze rests, or, use your arm as a compass and draw a smooth but uneven arc from your ankle across to a point above your other shoulder, or draw a long obtuse triangle, neither level nor plumb, that intersects at least 3 other figures on the sheet. The goal in these exercises is to come to understand the constraints set by the medium and method so that one can construct a system that works, a set of formal instructions that yield a coherent composition. The challenge is that the artist cannot amend the system on the fly to accommodate his or her aesthetic intuitions. Once the idea is set it runs to completion.
The instructions for LeWitt's early automatic drawings of arcs and lines can be interpreted as closed formal systems. The drawings would be delivered to the gallery as numeric tables that defined grids of overlapping marks. All of the potential formal relationships are coded in, and can in principle be read off, of these numeric tables. Our strategy for automatic drawing was looser, designed to amplify the influence of the conscious choices, unconscious biases, and different bodies of individual draftsmen. The goal of these exercises was in part to explore the boundaries between freedom and control in the use of automatic and chance procedures. The choreography and scores for Automatic Dancing bear a closer resemblance to LeWitt's formal systems. But the goal is the same, to explore the boundaries between control and freedom in artistic production, to explore the dancers share as a collaborator in the production of the work, and to explore the way the aesthetics of the work emerges from the idiosyncrasies and errors that shape each individual performance.
There is a strong sense in which the dance resembles what we have called automatic drawing. Both are coordinated collective activities in which the artist generates a recipe for performers to follow. We might say the same about installation art - each installation of the same piece is a performance tagged to the uniqueness of its current context. We might even say the same about a sculptor managing a crew of assistants in the studio. We might also say that consumers play a similar role to performers whenever they approach a work – they use the material existence of the work, along with a range of shared conventions it authorizes, to reconstruct its content/meaning on the fly without any real time oversight or guidance. The transparency of process in Automatic Dancing thereby reflects the interpretive process of the consumer in microcosm. We watch ourselves as we watch the dancers use their closed choreographic system of conventions to interpret the score as it emerges on the stage. Of course the freedom of the performer is different in each of these types of case – and these differences are not trivial. However, and this is the philosophical point, an exploration of the collaborative role played by dancers as they interpret a score is a means to explore the related concepts of art, aesthetics, and artistic production…and ultimately the consumer's share in the (re)construction of the content of the work.

FIELD MEMBERS 1980: LOCH MORAR Adrian Shine ‑ Leader Tony Bell John Bellars Peter Bellars Marianne Wilding
LOCH NESS Adrian Shine ‑ Leader Rob Shepherd ‑ Deputy Leader
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. & Mrs. H. Ayton. Balachladaich Farm, Dores and Mr, A. Volk, Manchester for their help and assistance. We would also like to thank those Project Members who visited us in the field as it was a great encouragement to Field Members.
LOCH NESS AND MORAR PROJECT REPORT 1980 The Project has now been open to subscription for over a year and we have had to recognise reluctantly that it is unlikely that funds significant enough to make much of a contribution to field work will be raised from this source. However, we are pleased to say that the contributions of field members are now such as to meet most of the running costs of exercises mounted.
The Project shall not resort to regressive methods such as surface watching in a pretence at continuing the search. One of the reasons why obtaining a sponsor for a scientific search is difficult, is the widespread impression that intensive research has already been conducted with negative results. This has resulted from sympathetic media over‑statement of the efforts so far mounted and the position can only be worsened by further ineffectual sallies which can only contribute to mounting scepticism. The Project itself does not claim to have done any valid "monster hunting" since 1977. We believe we know what needs to be done, what we need to do it with and how much it will cost.
Our present duty therefore, is to maintain Project resources and manpower in a state of readiness to utilise funds derived from sponsorship when available. We are able to do this by devoting our field expeditions to the pursuit of rather more conventional, and less demanding, scientific objectives, which will provide in themselves objective justification of members investments so far. In addition, many of these "more mundane" pursuits are in fact fundamental to the construction of the hypothesis on which a search for large creatures would be based, Finally, these exercises, by the very nature of the environment, make demands both material and human which stimulate our tradition of invention, extend the water borne experience of our members and perhaps more importantly bring more of them into contact with the scientific method.
This year, between 26th July and 20th August, the Project made its first large scale visit to Loch Ness for the main purpose of establishing a base camp and depot at Balacladaich near Dores. Other objectives included the construction of surface craft, sonar trials, depth survey and the acquisition of cores from the loch bed which should shed light upon its post glacial history. In short, we have provided a base form which a respectable operation can be mounted.
The prime requirement in our selection of a base at Loch Ness is that of securing a sheltered beach from which vessels may work. Other requirements, are sheltered, flat ground for tents, road access and electricity. These conditions are met very well at Balacladaich Farm near Dores and we are most grateful to Mr & Mrs Ayton for the very warm welcome extended to us.
One of the special problems of working on the larger Scottish lochs, is that though the depths and surface conditions resemble those found at sea; they are (with the exception of Loch Ness) land locked, making it difficult to place vessels of a suitable type on them. Limnological work such as sampling has to be conducted much deeper than is customary in fresh water research. For anything even more ambitious, such as underwater television or sonar search equipment, which may have to be deployed at short notice, the problem is even more acute.
No operation at Loch Ness can be any cheaper than its surface craft, which if of a suitable size would be prohibitively expensive to buy. If chartered they would act as a drain upon Project resources, against our policy of accumulating our own material assets for the majority of our outlay. Chartered vessels are also difficult to adapt to our needs even with the owners consent, since modification may well include such things as holes in the bottom!
Loch Ness can be dangerous for boats owing to the proximity of steep rocky shores with few beaches, making things difficult for a conventional vessel with engine failure. Ordinary vessels owned by the Project would require winter mooring and maintenance, causing administrative and manpower problems. Finally, some of the Projects methods are to require sailing vessels in the interest of economy and for silent sonar patrols.
For all the above reasons, a requirement arose for a surface vessel system adaptable to any and every experiment likely to be mounted, capable of transport between Loch Ness and Loch Morar, safe in confined waters, requiring a minimum of maintenance and to be as cheap as possible.
This requirement has been met with the design of 18ft. inflatable pontoon units. Each basic unit is constructed of conventional boat materials and is sub‑divided into two compartments for safety. The unit supports a load of over 1,0001bs., and when deflated forms one man load. The units can be linked in any configuration by deckings constructed on site. The deckings can be built of relatively cheap materials and can be adapted quickly to most needs.
Two prototype units have now seen service at both Ness and Morar and have survived all tests from being fitted with square sailing rigs for sonar runs to 35hp., engines for fast communications. They have also mounted cabins for instrumentation and one version has been successfully despatched over a waterfall! Deflation tests suggest a high standard of reserve buoyancy
It is envisaged that deckings shall be depoted at both Ness and Morar and only the inflatable units transported. The system has the advantage that additional units can be purchased piecemeal as funds allow.
In addition to the 18ft. units, it is proposed that two vessels incorporating 40ft., pontoons in a catamaran configuration, be commissioned at Loch Ness. One is already under construction and shall have a cabin, engines and a square rig to enable silent and economic operation as a sonar patrol vessel.
In brief, the Project has now developed a system from which vessels of any size may be constructed at short notice. At present we need two 40ft. and three 18ft. vessels, plus a reserve of units for special purposes. These shall form the basis of "The Ness Flotilla".
We are still anxious to confirm the existence of depths in excess of 750ft., as reported by the Vickers Oceanics submersible 'Pisces", during her freshwater trials in 1969. It may be remembered that a visit for this purpose was made in 1979 with negative results. It was then suggested that greater depths might be found to the north of the area we covered in detail.
This year we used a Kelvin Hughes MS44 echo sounder, calibrated and tested as usual. A series of six transects were made from Urquhart Castle to the northern limit of the bay. Two runs were then made at right angles.
We have yet to find depths in excess of 720ft. We can only assume for the present, that there is a possibility of very localised holes and perhaps dunes, which are not registered by an echo sounder due to shallower returns recorded by the outer parts of the sound beam.
Some trials were made with underwater cameras to ascertain the amount of light needed for photography under Loch Ness conditions.
One of the fundamental elements of any "monster" hypothesis must be the explanation of how the species could have invaded the lochs in the first place, assuming that a population is resident. There has never been any question of Loch Less being an evolutionary cul‑de‑sac, in which "prehistoric animals" could have survived, since it was subjected to glaciation during successive ice ages.
During this period, the valleys were deepened by the glaciers moving through them, to form the deepest depressions in the British Isles. To find a depth of equal to that of Loch Morar (1018ft) it would be necessary to go beyond the continental shelf west of St. Kilda. When the ice retreated for the last tine, approximately 10,000 years ago, the sea level rose a little due to the melting and for a time some of the lochs were open to the sea. Subsequently, relieved of the weight of ice, the land rose slowly and Lochs Ness and Morar now lie at 52ft., and 30ft., above sea level respectively. The evidence for higher sea levels can be seen in raised beaches at both lochs.
Since we assume the overland migration of a species of the expected size, from freshwaters elsewhere, to be most unlikely and since most of the known species in the lochs are those capable of migration via the sea, we might also expect any unknown animals to have been marine originally. The invasion of the lochs by marine species would be facilitated if the lochs in question were actually arms to the sea. Entry would have been easy and there would have been a slow change to fresh water. Both Lochs Ness and Morar, are still open "to the sea" by way of the short rivers which drain them.
The problem with raised beaches as evidence, is that we cannot be sure that they do not refer to an inter‑glacial period when the loch would have been opened to the sea only to be subjected to a further glaciation. The sequence as understood at present, indicates the last Ice Age proper, ending approximately 12,000 years ago. This would have had the probable effect of opening both lochs to the sea after which the land would have risen. A brief local event, known as the Loch Lomond Re‑advance, would have resulted in further glaciation, after which the lochs may or may not have been open to the sea. This is the crucial period.
One of our tasks has been to establish whether the lochs were open to the sea after this last short ice age. Sediments accumulating on a lake bed, provide a history of events. The differing materials range from glacial clays, from the time when the ice melted, to darker organic lake sediments since. Sediments can be dated by 14C methods for organic material and sometimes, when an undisturbed sequence is available, by comparing the alignments of magnetic particles (paleomagnetism). Pollen grains are almost indestructible and when found in the sediments, provide a history of the surrounding vegetation of interest in its own right to the paleobotanist. The silica cases of microscopic plants (diatoms), also endure, locked in the sediments and by examining these, it is possible to see whether marine species were present and at what time.
It is desirable to obtain cores from the deeper parts of a lake in order to reach less disturbed material than would be found nearer the shores, which would be under the local influence of wave action and streams. The sloping walls of a loch also encourage slumping and disturbance of the sediments. Deeper down, there are also less creatures living in the sediment and disturbing it by burrowing (bioturbation).
Unfortunately, coring at depths of up to 1,000ft.(equivalent to the height of the Eiffel Tower), presents technical problems, especially with difficult surface conditions. None of the existing coring equipment for lakes was really suitable for the depths encountered. Only oceanographic devices could do the job but these require specialised vessels with heavy winching facilities at quite prohibitive cost.
Broadly, there are two types of corer available. The first is the gravity corer. This consists of a weig to escape on being displaced by material entering the bottom and to close on withdrawal, thus retaining the core within the tube.
The second type is the Makereth corer, of which there are only a few in the country.They are more costly (about BP 10,000)) and work on another principle. First an anchor drum sucks its way into the silt, by having water withdrawn from it. When a firm purchase has been made, the core tube is forced down from within an outer cylinder by means of compressed air. The coring tube moves past an inner piston, which retains the core. Much greater lengths of core are obtainable using this piston, as without it ( as in the case of the gravity corer) the sediment only rises a limited distance within the tube, before compacting and locking, no matter how far the tube is driven into the lake bed.
Both types of corer, even if obtainable, are unsuited to work in very deep water. In the case of the weighted gravity corer, it is necessary to hold good station in order that the tube shall enter the sediment perpendicularly. Once the corer begins to penetrate, it is necessary to exercise a fine control of the line or the weights will overbalance the apparatus, which will fall over sideways. Finally, the whole corer with weights must be laboriously raised to the surface. In the case of the Makereth corer, the boat must first be anchored, as lengths of hose have to be kept attached to control the operation of the corer. Clearly, it is also expensive to provide 1,000ft. of grouped hoses. Operation of the corer at depth also requires much greater amounts of compressed air.
Our own coring programme began in 1978. In January of that year an operation was mounted at Loch Morar using a gravity corer from the Dept of Geology, Edinburgh University and with the support of 75 Engineer Regiment. A raft was successfully located over the deep area and the corer lowered and raised twice. No core was retained however, due to the problems already listed and the exercise was called off since the Edinburgh staff were unable to continue.
By the summer, a gravity corer of our own design had been developed. This was a free fall device incorporating fins for stability and with discharging ballast. Several cores were obtained including four from the deep basin.
One 5in. core obtained from 300ft., at the western end of the loch, had penetrated to glacial clay. When analysed by Dr. Birks of Cambridge University, it was found to contain cysts of marine algae. This is good evidence that the loch was connected to the sea, possibly as recently as 6,000 years ago. The deep-water cores were not long enough (14in.) to penetrate to the clays and consist of later lake sediments. These are deposited with the Freshwater Biological Association, the British Museum and Cambridge University.
In 1980 two major modifications were made to our corer design. As the result of experiment, it was found that the resistance of a tube entering sediment, is not primarily due to the pressure on its mouth, but to the increasing friction upon its walls. The same can be said of sediment rising within. Therefore, instead of sharpening the end of the tube we attach a collar or shoulder to its mouth, which pushes the sediment clear of the walls. This invention allows a breakthrough in the length of core obtainable by gravity coring especially when a similar collar slightly smaller than the tube is attached within. This has the effect of producing a core with a slight tolerance, which rises loosely to a much greater height within the tube.
The second modification consists of a steel chamber containing air at atmospheric pressure, placed above the core tube from which it is isolated by a valve. As the corer arrives at the loch bed, this valve opens and water pressure creates an effect of suction similar to the piston principle.
The system was used this year at Loch Morar and later at Loch Ness, where we have obtained cores up to 12ft. long. These cores are being analysed at Edinburgh University by Mr. Richard Grinvalds, whose work is partly supported by the Project. It is not yet known whether the quality of the core obtained by this method is adequate for paleomagnetic work but stratification is very evident and we should know whether or not a marine transgression occurred post-glacially.
In November, Mr. Grinvalds was able to obtain a Makereth corer from the Department of geophysics, Edinburgh University, and two 15ft. cores were obtained from the western end of Loch Morar. These should reveal a very precise sequence of events.
We have therefore, established that Loch Morar was connected to the sea post-glacially. The case for Loch Ness is still subjudice. Adrian J Shine

Also, if you have a sloped driveway or an uneven garage floor and water is seeping under your garage door, the door seal adds a 1/2 in.

Air France has unveiled its new cabins available on board its Boeing 777-300 aircraft, mainly serving destinations in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean.
On board, the aircraft's 472 seats (14 in Business, 28 in Premium Economy and 430 in Economy) have been completely redesigned, enabling Air France to offer cabins with the highest standards of comfort, in a soft and warm atmosphere in the airline's colours.
As from 15 January 2020, the first aircraft equipped with these cabins will take off for the first time to Pointe-à-Pitre, then to Fort de France (16 January 2020) and Saint-Denis de la Réunion (2020 summer season).
From January to December 2020, Air France will gradually install these new cabins on all its 10 Boeing 777-300s mainly dedicated to this network, thanks to an overall investment of 120 million euros.
In addition to Pointe-à-Pitre, Fort-de-France and Saint-Denis de la Réunion, these new cabins will be progressively available this year on routes to Mauritius, Havana, Cancun, Santo Domingo and Punta Cana.

"The church is supposed to be a gathering of the faithful to exalt the glory of God. "Sin and righteousness and judgment" are essential themes of the message Christians are supposed to convey to the world (John 16:8). But those topics are deliberately omitted from most of the sermons preached in evangelical churches nowadays."
(John MacArthur) All the trouble and inconvenience that came with 2020's string of calamities could actually have one surprising benefit: it might deal a death blow to America's obsession with flippant, man-centered, self-serving, and fraudulent religion.
I'm thinking of trends like so-called "seeker-driven Christianity," the irreverent brand of entertainment-as-religion that has dominated evangelical megachurches for three decades or longer. Some of the best-known seeker churches boast massive congregations, but they haven't actually met in person for almost a full year. Their leaders say they have no plans to resume public meetings until fears about the coronavirus are gone from the talking points of secular society. That makes perfect sense — for them. They have followed and imitated the culture for so long, how could they credibly resist the current drift?
There is also a long list of famous charismatic televangelists and self-styled "prophets" who have obliterated whatever small shred of believability they might once have had. A year ago they were assuring their viewers that they had already declared and decreed the end of COVID-19. And then, even as the virus continued to dominate the news, they boldly announced that the Lord had told them Donald Trump would be re-elected. After the votes were counted and certified, most of the best-known charismatic soothsayers still insisted Trump would be inaugurated for a second term in January. Such a string of highly publicized embarrassments should make it hard from now on to find gullible people willing to buy their preposterous claims. And that's a good thing.

The cream of modern web apps can hold their own against the best of the App Store
It's strange to think the iPhone arrived without the App Store. Initially, you were stuck with the apps Apple gave you. Extensibility arrived with the first major iOS update, which let you save 'web clips' to your Home Screen. These shortcuts to Safari enabled you to quickly get at specific additional functionality, and the user experience could be surprisingly sophisticated.
In July 2008, the App Store arrived, and web clips faded away in the minds of iPhone users. But over the following decade-and-a-bit, web technology evolved. Today's best Progressive Web Apps work, look and feel a lot like native iPhone apps, never need updating, and provide functionality that neatly augments what you find on the App Store. This feature lists our ten favorites.
How to install Progressive Web Apps on your iPhone
The process for saving a web app shortcut to a Home Screen is simple.
Visit the app's website in Safari, and tap the share button. From the list of options, select Add to Home Screen.
In the sheet that appears, the majority of sites will provide a custom icon and title for your new web app shortcut. You can tap the name field to adjust its content if the default is too long or you'd prefer the shortcut to be called something different.
Tap Add and the web app will be placed on your Home Screen, whereupon it can then be managed like any other app. Note that when opened, the web apps in this article selection behave like native apps, launching as standalone entities rather than in a new Safari tab. Be aware if the app/service requires a login, you'll need to sign into the web app, even if you've previously signed into it in Safari.
Every Time Zone
When friends, family and colleagues are dotted around the world, it's useful to know when's a mutually convenient time to call. With Every Time Zone, you get a sleek interface that lists a number of time zones, and can drag a slider to see how times — and even days — elsewhere compare to your local time. Sign into a Google account and you can customize what's shown, thereby streamlining the app to display only those time zones that are important to you. It's sleek, simple and usable.
If we were awarding marks for ambition, Photopea would win all the prizes. This web app is a full-fledged Photoshop-style editor you can use to create complex multi-layered documents or edit existing PSD, Sketch and RAW files. It even works well on iPhone, which currently lacks a native Photoshop app. There's a paid tier — which at $10 for three months seems expensive compared to Affinity Photo ($20/£20) on iPad. But put up with the odd ad and you can use the full feature set for free — indefinitely.
Omni Calculator
It's not like the App Store lacks conversion utilities, but this web app is different. It rethinks conversions in a human manner, with a slew of calculators for a wide range of topics, including physics ('Gravitational Force Calculator') and ecology ('Meat Footprint Calculator'). The multi-line calculators are simple to use, clearly presented, and — importantly — provide insight into key areas of your life. (When it comes down to it, after all, the entire universe speaks in numbers!)
Hang on, you might think, there's a perfectly good Twitter app on the App Store, so why try the web app? One reason is when you use multiple accounts. Sure, the native Twitter app does let you switch between several accounts, but switching between an app and a web app is faster. Alternatively, you could set the web app to permanently use the 'data saver' setting, which makes everything zippy and ensures you don't eat into your data allocation when using Twitter on a cellular connection.
Behind every word is a story. If you're interested in where words came from, rather than just how they're spelled, Etymonline is a must-have. Going beyond the basic one-line word origins found in typical dictionaries, you get a fuller grounding in a word's origins, along with handy links to related entries. There is an iOS app, but the web app offers a smoother, smarter experience — and one that's not packed full of ads.
It's not often a web app has video guides, but Wavemaker is not a typical web app. It's designed for writing novels — even on a phone — and gives you a wealth of tools, including a planning board, mind-mapping, and a challenge mode for speed-writing without editing. The closest App Store equivalent we can think of is Scrivener ($20/£20), and Wavemaker is similarly impressive. That it's also free is astonishing, although do donate a few bucks on Patreon if you use it often.
Prettier even than Dark Sky, Ventusky is a weather app that visualizes the weather. On launch, you'll see particle-like lines illustrating wind data. An additional layer defaults to temperature, but can be switched to the likes of precipitation or air quality. The native Ventusky app ($3/£3) is sleeker and has more features. But with Dark Sky's web app soon to vanish, we felt it appropriate to sing the praises of Ventusky making beautiful, usable, reliable weather forecasting accessible to all.
Smashing Magazine
Suitably, given that it's all about making websites and web apps, Smashing Magazine is a first-rate example of a native-style web app. Within, you can delve into guides and articles about interface design, coding, and more. Even if that's not your thing, it's worth a look to temporarily bathe in its swish and vibrant design. Fancy more wide-ranging news? Then try Flipboard, which in web app form tends to be faster than its App Store equivalent.
Flash was for a long time the technology of choice for browser games — and it never worked on iPhone. Increasingly, though, games utilize native browser technology, and Gridland takes things further in being a full-fledged native-style web app. The game itself is a nuanced take on a Bejeweled-oriented gem-swapper, with added depth from resource management and a strategic night mode where you battle all manner of horrors. Sequel Super Gridland ($2/£2) made it to the App Store, but the original is arguably the better game.
Game Play Color
Our final choice is something you'll never see on the App Store: a Game Boy Color emulator. Apple doesn't allow open emulators on the App Store, and Nintendo doesn't seem keen on bringing its classic games to iPhone. Game Boy Color, though, provides authentic old-school gaming — even if virtual on-screen buttons can't match the real thing and the set-up is clunky. Still, if your 1990s handhelds long ago gave up the ghost, this is a great way to relive mobile gaming's past on a device at the bleeding edge of mobile's present.
