Contraception Discussions
Amazingly, most people still do not know that prevention of implantation is one of the three actions the use of hormonal contraceptives relies upon. Here we are no longer discussing contraception, but rather abortion. Most people who use hormonal contraceptive are unaware that they are to some extent relying upon abortion as one of the modes of this form of birth control.
On the other hand, some who know about the triphasic claims of hormonal contraceptives try to deny the third phase of action that the drug manufacturers advertise about their products. They say there is not enough evidence that this third phase exists. In contradiction to this, fertility experts would be the first to admit to the abortifacient action. Hormonal contraceptives are known to thin the endometrium to a thickness which is considered inhospitable to implantation - a thickness fertility experts would consider a serious impediment to retaining a successful pregnancy. Why this information is still so little known is a mystery to me.
The other thing this discussion with pastors brought out is why so many pro-lifers are so intent on identifying the exact scientifically defined moment at which life begins. It seems to me that the only reason to do this is to identify the point before which we might feel free to interfere with God's procreative purpose of marriage. How pro-life is that?

this is exactly correct... while not talking about contraception, but abortion, i made similar points in my most recent post.
to discuss the last point made, i think people become so intent on figuring out exactly the point of life to try and justify their acts, especially with the use of most chemical contraceptives.
it is an attempt to relieve some guilt from seperating the natural purposes of marriage and sex.

The reason that the abortifacient nature of the pill is not well known is obvious.
Doctors lie about it. To themselves and to their female patients. When confronted with direct evidence, they deny, obfuscate, blur the issue and try to change the subject. Have you not had that experience?
This assists women and their husbands or "partners" lying to themselves and denying this important fact about the oral contraceptive so that they feel justified in continuing to take the pill.
- Erich Heidenreich, DDS said...
I agree that there is a certain amount of lying going on. However, I honestly believe that there is also a large amount of ignorance. I know this firstly because of the number of people who have thanked me for informing them of the truth. Yes, Doctors lie. They even lie to themselves. But many of them simply are unaware of this potential effect of hormonal contraceptives. Some of this is because their professors lied to them. But some of this is simply plain ignorance. This study is something that every doctor who prescribes contraceptives, and everyone who uses them, should read: Postfertilization Effects of Oral Contraceptives and their Relationship to Informed Consent.
Here is the author's personal comment which was printed at the end of the above study in the Archives of Family Medicine:
I have prescribed "the Pill" since 1978. My wife and I used the Pill for years, having no moral concerns about it. Then, in 1995 my friend and practice partner John Hartman, MD, showed me a patient information brochure — given to him by a friend — that claimed the Pill had a postfertilization effect causing " . . . the unrecognized loss of preborn children." John asked me if I had ever heard of such a thing. I had not. I did read the brochure and its claims seemed to be outlandish, excessive, and inaccurate. So, I decided to begin a literature search to disprove these claims to my partner, myself, and any patients who might ask about it. The more research I did, the more concerned I became about my findings. I called researchers around the country and interviewed them. During this process I met Joe Stanford, MD. Joe volunteered to assist in the research that ultimately became this systematic review. We were concerned enough about our findings and about the fact that so many of our colleagues and patients seemed to share our ignorance about this potential effect that we presented the preliminary results of our research at a number of research forums, just to see if we were off base. Most of the reviewers suggested that, although this evidence was new to them (as it was to us), it seemed accurate and not off target. Furthermore, several said that they thought it would change the way family physicians informed their patients about the Pill and its potential effects.
The most difficult part of this research was deciding how to apply it to my practice. I discussed it with my partners, my patients, ethicists I know and respect, and pastors in my community. I studied the ethical principle of double effect and discussed the issue with religious physicians of several faiths. Finally, after many months of debate and prayer, I decided in 1998 to no longer prescribe the Pill. As a family physician, my career has been committed to family care from conception to death. Since the evidence indicated to me that the Pill could have a postfertilization effect, I felt I could no longer, in good conscience, prescribe it — especially since viable alternatives are available. The support and encouragement that my partners, staff, and patients have given me has been unexpectedly affirming. It seems that my patients have appreciated the information I have given them. Many have been surprised or even shocked (as I was) to learn about this potential effect. Many of my patients have chosen to continue taking the Pill, and we have physicians in our practice and community who will prescribe it for them. Patients who take the Pill tell me that they are much more careful with their compliance. Others have chosen other birth control options — especially one of the modern methods of natural family planning. So, this is research that has changed my soul and my practice. It has been an extraordinarily difficult issue with which I have had to wrestle. I suspect it will be so for many who thoughtfully read and consider the evidence contained in this review.

As a side note, one of the OBGYNs in the practice my wife is seeing for prenatal care recently counseled her to consider using some form of birth control after this (our ninth) pregnancy. He had read in her history that she doesn't believe in using contraception. He tried to scare her with concerns about a "logarithmic increase" in risks to the mother and baby after 40. This not only made my wife angry, it also made her worried for our baby, because she already IS over 40! Just one more example of the anti-family attitude of many doctors.

Who are the top 10 Best rappers in Nigeria?, Last Year Notjustok released a list of the 10 most gifted rappers and the controversial list has garnered a lot of response. In the list, Modenine was awarded the number one slot while Olamide was awarded the second position.
Mr Incredible ( M.I) took the fourth spot while Jesse Jagz and Eldee didn't even make the cut. Without mincing words, the list is not only skewed and incorrect, it is also incomplete as no female rapper made the cut. As fans of true hip hop we decided to carryout our own survey on the 10 Most gifted rappers in Nigerian music.
In our analysis, we considered the volume of the body of work of each artiste, their lyrical content, their style and manner of delivery, their word play and versatility,the metaphorical depth of rhyming and their story telling ability. We considered their inclination to address contemporary and diverse subjects in the society and use punch lines that reverberates in the hearts of the listeners.
The survey would have been incomplete if we didn't consider commercial appeal and rap influence the artistes are having on other upcoming rappers. We considered commercial and global appeal as we believe it takes a degree of gifting and skill to write a commercially successful rap song.
Anyway, Today on LOUDESTGIST, we bring to you, the top 10 most gifted male rappers in Nigerian as of Today Click "Continue Reading" to see the authentic List

Genetic Study of Seizure Patients Who Respond To Charlotte's Web Strain Underway
Share this with your friends
Researchers in Colorado are focusing on cannabis' ability to alleviate seizures. Specifically, medical researchers at the University of Colorado Anshutz Medical Campus will be doing a study about the efficacy of the strain commonly known as Charlotte's Web and its ability to help slow, decrease, or stop seizure activity in children with Dravet syndrome.
The study will look at patients with Dravet syndrome who have responded to treatment with a high-CBD oil derived from the Charlotte's Web strain. Then, the genetic information of each patient will be collected and compared. Researchers are hoping to find a genetic component to responsiveness to cannabis treatment that explains why some people respond to cannabinoid treatments while others do not. This research may also help with screening for treatments in the future and may help explain the process by which cannabis suppresses seizure activity.
The mainstream media is very excited about this study but seems to have missed one of the more important implications of the study: it may well help establish the importance of whole plant medicine and a wide range of high-CBD strains being available to patients.
Currently, much of the medical world's focus on high-cannabidiol strains is directly on the Charlotte's Web strain, despite it being owned (and under lock and key genetically speaking) by the Realm of Caring's Stanley Brothers. There are many other strains that have high CBD to THC ratios, but they are being ignored and passed over. Research indicating that THC is a necessary component or that different patients respond to strains differently (beliefs based on anecdotal information that are readily accepted by most within the medical cannabis community) will help refocus legalization efforts on whole plant medicine and THC-inclusive medical marijuana laws.
The study will be ongoing through the end of winter in 2016, but the results will likely be worth the wait. Whether researchers will find a genetic component to individual's responsiveness to cannabis therapy or not, this study will help shed light on the one of the most compelling uses of cannabidiol for medical applications. Best of luck to the researchers and the patients participating in this study (and their parents or guardians as well).

Not value for money at all. Had to pay for entry tickets inspite being so expensive
Our guide, Peter, was exceptional! We truly appreciated his extraordinary customer-focused service and his friendly and respectful demeanor. Peter went out of his way to make sure that he accommodated my son's and my itinerary requests by strategically planning the sequence of site visitations to maximize our experience in Innsbruck and at the Swarovski Crystal Worlds. I especially appreciated and valued the depth of Peter's knowledge of the people and history of the regions and sites we visited - I learned so much from this tour! Thanks to Peter, our trip to Innsbruck was absolutely enjoyable, educational, memorable and just plain AWESOME! I would whole heartedly recommend this tour - with Peter as its guide - to my family and friends!
The tour guide, Wolfgang, was terrific!!! He had lots of knowledge and stories to share. Great sense of humor, and accommodating as well. Crystal Worlds wa a little disappointing...somewhat over commercialized.
The tour guide picked us up from our hotel on time in Salzburg. We then had about a two hour drive to Innsbruck - which was delayed on the way back due to the traffic jams. The tour guide gave little insights on the surroundings which was super disappointing. Basically he was pretty much a driver - not a tour guide. Watch out... this tour does not include the entrance fee into Swaroski, which cost us an extra 45 euros for three people.... If I had to do it again, I would catch a train from Salzburg to Innsbruck and take the tour to Swaroski from there. You would save yourself a ton of money and a more pleasant and quicker commute to Innsbruck and back

It's hard to take harmonica players seriously. What doesn't help is that so many harmonica players don't act as if they want to be taken seriously. We have the reputation as the dumbest musician on the stage, and that's only if we're considered musicians at all.
But with a good working knowledge of how to play, how to follow a song, how to work with the other band members and an idea of what you're doing up on stage, you can be considered an asset to any band instead of a novelty act. In Playing Harmonica Like a Real Musician, Eric Pulsifer touches on the things they don't teach the growing musician.
Eric played with many bands and several genres over the last three decades, parlaying his unique sound and his knowledge of music to take center stage. Currently in California, he plays in several groups and remains in high demand.
This work is for intermediate and advanced players. If you're not there yet, hang on to this. You'll be there soon.

Bombardier Is Said to Hire TD for Toronto-Aircraft Site Sale
(Bloomberg) -- Bombardier Inc. has hired Toronto-Dominion Bank to find a buyer for the Downsview aircraft-assembly plant in Toronto that could fetch more than C$500 million ($382 million), according to people familiar with the matter.
Canada's biggest aerospace company has received multiple bids, with residential developers in the mix, said the people who asked not to be identified because the matter isn't public. Housing development would increase the value of the land, though builders may face opposition from the union and lawmakers looking to preserve the land for industry.
A sale would further Bombardier Chief Executive Officer Alain Bellemare's five-year turnaround plan, which includes bolstering the balance sheet. The Montreal-based company is saddled with about $9.2 billion of debt after investing in research and development of new aircraft and is stepping up efforts to raise cash with the goal of breaking even on a cash-flow basis this year.
Bombardier plans to move its Toronto-area manufacturing activities from Downsview to a site that would provide access to a runway without the costs associated with staffing a fire department or a control tower, according to one of the people. Toronto Pearson International Airport is being considered as an alternative site.
Extract Value
Bombardier spokesman Simon Letendre said that the company's priority is to "extract value from this land" and that it would be up to the buyer to apply for a zoning change. Lynsey Wynberg, a TD Securities spokeswoman, declined to comment.
It may be a lucrative time to sell the 1.5 square-kilometer (375 acre) site that Bombardier has owned since purchasing Boeing Co.'s de Havilland unit in 1992. The facility, which is about 13 kilometers (8 miles) northwest of downtown, assembles turboprop planes and business jets. Bombardier has said it uses only about 10 percent of the property and bears the cost of operating a 2,100-meter (7,000-foot) runway.
Bombardier hopes to complete a deal involving Downsview "relatively quickly in 2018,'' Bellemare said last month. He didn't elaborate on possible financial terms. Downsview is "an amazing piece of land,'' he said on a conference call with analysts. "It's an underutilized asset. We can do the same type of work somewhere else and really unlock huge value."
Residential developers will need re-zoning permission from government officials as the site is designated for "employment" uses only. These efforts may run into opposition, including from the union at the plant, which is lobbying government officials to reject any requests for re-zoning to allow residential development.
Bombardier fell 0.5 percent to C$3.70 at 11:27 a.m. in Toronto.
Residential Shift
Toronto city councilor Maria Augimeri, who represents the district that includes Downsview, said the site is held in an agreement between Bombardier and the city and provincial governments and isn't permitted to be re-zoned for residential development.
The sale of the site is "obviously a concern" said Michael Levitt, a Liberal member of parliament whose constituency includes Downsview. "This is economic employment lands and it's important for Toronto that it stays as employment lands -- there's 3,500 jobs there," he said by phone.
Bombardier hasn't requested a zoning change, Augimeri confirmed by email on Monday. "They just want to sell and get out," she said. "Any re-zoning would take many many years if ever."

Good morning, California.
Leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador was elected as Mexico's next president on Sunday.
Bloomberg: The Mexican election fits into a wider pattern of anti-establishment politicians appealing to voters left behind by globalization — though Lopez Obrador … has little in common with Trump or the right-wing populists who've gained power in Europe.
A history lesson worth relearning
California state archives released documents and photos related to Japanese-American internment during World War II.
At the start of World War II, California was at the center of the massive effort to inter Japanese Americans, and Attorney General Earl Warren was running a tough campaign to unseat Democratic Gov. Culbert Olson.
A new online exhibit by the California State Archives includes a Warren flier: "California indicts Governor Culbert L. Olson for his visionless, obstructive, bungling record of politics … California is shamed and shocked by that record."
Historians know well California officials' role, much of led by Warren, to intern Japanese Americans during World War II. State archivists, using a grant from the State Library, spent a year pulling together 483 documents related to the episode from various state agencies.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla placed them online Friday: "Given that there is separation of families and detention going on now may not be exactly the same, but it is a similar dynamic. Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it."
One document Padilla was taken with was one called the Japanese American Creed: "Although some individuals may discriminate against me, I shall never become bitter or lose faith for I know that such persons are not representative of the majority of the American people."
A document that stood out to Nancy Lenoil, the state archivist, was the record of a state personnel board meeting at which Japanese-American clerks were fired because of a "lack of confidence … in the loyalty of many said employees of Japanese ancestry."
I was struck by UC President Robert Sproul's pained letter to Vice President Henry Wallace about students taken from universities, and about how officials fretted over how to handle children, including ones separated from their parents.

How to frame the gas tax initiative
Congressman Devin Nunes' Facebook ad critical of California gasoline tax.
Construction companies, truckers, labor and others amassed $9 million in the first half of the year to defeat an initiative that would repeal the 12-cent per gallon gasoline tax that lawmakers passed last year to pay for road repairs.
However, they're framing it differently: It's a campaign to "protect local transportation improvements."
"We're going to spend what it takes and that is tens of millions of dollars," campaign manager Brandon Castillo said.
In June, the committee to "protect transportation funding" took in $2.5 million, while the campaign for the gas tax repeal received one donation of $52,500; it came from the California Republican Party. That tells only part of the story.
Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox and various other candidates supporting the repeal will integrate the gas tax repeal into their campaigns.
Congressman Devin Nunes, a Tulare Republican running for reelection, for example, has a Facebook ad that depicts pump prices in California and in Arizona; it's far cheaper in Arizona:
"Driving somewhere this summer? Thank Sacramento for the higher gas prices and poor roads."
What's next: Later this month, Attorney General Xavier Becerra's office will provide the title and summary that will appear on the November ballot. That will matter. Many voters make decisions based on those few words.
Lobby tactic: Spend big, qualify an initiative and deal
CALmatters' Laurel Rosenhall explains how legislators wheeled and dealed and shortened the November ballot—by placating moneyed interests.
Viewed one way, lawmakers did their jobs by reaching compromises, rather than punting and requiring voters to decide complicated policy questions by initiative.
Viewed differently, interests used their initiatives to extort results they sought.
Rosenhall describes how fast-moving compromises removed measures from the November ballot and led to laws that would benefit the soda industry, organized labor, tech companies and privacy advocates, and could serve to benefit paint companies and local government.
Bottom line: With enough money, advocates can qualify an extreme initiative and use it to win a legislative deal. It will cost a lot less than a full-blown initiative war, the outcome of which is never certain.
The coming rent control war
Advocates for tenants and landlords failed to reach an accord last week to amend a state law that bars cities from expanding rent control. That means an initiative will go before voters in November to end the 1995 Costa-Hawkins Act.
On their housing podcast, Gimme Shelter, CALmatters' Matt Levin and the LA Times' Liam Dillon ask landlord and tenant leaders why a deal was elusive and what to expect in the campaign this fall.
Climate change and wildfires
Smoking billowing from the 32,500-acre Yolo County fire, July 1, 2018.
California's latest $1.4 billion cap-and-trade spending plan, which took effect at the start of the new fiscal year on Sunday, sets aside $240 million to prevent and combat wildfires.
Good timing: This has started off as a bad fire season. This past weekend, more than 32,500 acres burned in Yolo and Napa counties. A Lake County fire burned 14,150 acres. A San Joaquin County fire burned 12,300 acres.
Cal Fire Deputy Chief Scott McLean, in the San Francisco Chronicle: "These fires are extremely aggressive and extremely fast moving. It's not a joke."
Why cap-and-trade: CALmatters' Julie Cart recently explained: When trees burn or decay, they release greenhouse gases. The 2013 Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park produced emissions equal to those of 2.3 million cars in a year.
Walters: California's shift to Democratic domination
CALmatters' commentator Dan Walters, who has watched California turn blue, points out that no Republican presidential candidate has even tried to win in California since 1992, when Democrat Bill Clinton won the state's trove of presidential electoral votes.
Republicans know that losing several congressional districts in 2018 would be a crushing blow, making the party irrelevant in the state and completing California's transformation into a one-party state.

So, I just landed another job. For those of you keeping score at home, this is job #2, and I am also in grad school full time.
I can't believe how much fun this is. Not everyone gets to have jobs like mine, or to study a subject that he loves, and I just wanted to say how great all this is. As well, I am now going to be able to afford to live a lot better than I was before. I'm going to put some money into a GIC, when I make some, and I'm going to buy a new winter coat (my old one is pretty ratty, and this is a cold city.)
Life is wonderful!

Dear Parent / Carer
Welcome to St Aloysius' College, a school of long standing tradition, having served the local Catholic community since 1879. In fact, we are privileged to be the oldest surviving foundation of its kind in the Archdiocese of Westminster. Many distinguished people have been educated here: two currently serving archbishops; Malcolm McMahon, the Archbishop of Liverpool and George Stack, the Archbishop of Cardiff, notable actors Sir Michael Gambon and Peter Sellers CBE, and many sporting stars including Joe Cole and Tyrone Edgar.
We seek to build on our many successes on a daily basis and were delighted, therefore, to be included in the Islington Building Schools for the Future programme, which has provided us with outstanding facilities and resources. We are fortunate in being the only school in the area swith our own 13 acre playing fields which have now been augmented by our new on-site Sports Hall with exceptional resources. Extensive computer facilities are available for boys to use in class and beyond to support their independent research. Most of our classrooms and laboratories have been fitted with electronic whiteboards and projectors. A separate music suite caters for the many pupils receiving instrumental tuition and for our successful bands and ensembles.
Our most recent Ofsted report in 2012 judges us to be OUTSTANDING in all core areas of teaching, achievement, leadership and behaviour & safety. Our excellent performance at GCSE is also testament to this - in 2014, 98% of our boys achieved 5 or more 5 A*-C grades with 72% including Maths & English. The subject breakdown of A*-C grades was as follows: 82% in Maths, 81% in English and 89% in Science.
In 2010 we joined Central Foundation, Highbury Fields and Highbury Grove in the Islington 6th Form Consortium and a full range of 16-19 courses are now being taught at the school. This has proved to be a great success with demand exceeding expectations.
We fully understand our responsibilities regarding your sons secondary education and the importance of him receiving every possible opportunity to extend his learning. You can be certain that St. Aloysius' College is determined to meet this challenge and offer your son a high quality education in a disciplined but supportive environment.

The 66 are yet another extremely hard working outfit from the North West, Warrington to be exact, and my hometown (almost). An incredible colossal sound with a nod in the direction of psychedelic, blues, rock & roll, glimpses of the early Rolling Stones, Woodstock, 60's, The Doors but with modern fresh noises. I've been keeping an eye on this band for a while, since they made an impressive statement at the Warrington Festival back in 2009, since then they have certainly grown in confidence and stature and creating waves all around the North West, particularly in Manchester. I witnessed their electrifying headline performance once again at the Warrington Fest 2010. The 66 consists of Danny Rimmer (vocals), Mike Bee (lead guitar), Craig Harman (bass), Paul Glover (keys/synth), Ian Wilson (drums/percussions)
Their 2nd E.P 'Storm' is released today by Outlier Records for £3.00 and can be found here: Check out the exclusive Mudkiss video of 'Red Dog' filmed at their rehearsal studios this week.
MEL: The 66 is an intriguing name, not quite the number of the beast 666, but curious as to where and how this name was born and why the missing last 6? Do you have a good story to tell us Mike?
MIKE: People often ask this question. This is the first time we're going to let people glimpse inside the 66 machine and its inner workings, but there is a storm coming, so I'll begin.
Firstly it has nothing whatsoever to do with the beast 666 or Luciferian practice. None of us have ever been involved in the worship of Baphomet, eating children, or blood sacrifice. But there is a strong possibility that Danny's been possessed on at least several occasions, so may have unknowingly been involved in such things. So, there is no missing 6 in the 66, although at times I have considered that Danny may actually be the missing number! Thankfully he 'let light in' and is now an outstanding member of the 66 community. Most of the time.
I wanted this band to represent us, and the music we created. Back in 2007 the rot was really starting to come-out in the music industry, we didn't need [or want] to join the quirky name brigade, playing quirky music – this was for us. People form first impressions easily, we didn't want the noose of a name that gave anything away, restricting creativity. While I was thinking about this, in a lucid state, just after our first practice, I wrote a text message in a sudden rush of consciousness with about 7 or 8 band names. Just before I pressed send to the rest of the band, 'the little voice' in my head told me to include 'the 66'… When I did press send I absolutely knew that would the one. Sure enough the texts fled back – and the 66 were unanimously born.
When someone digs-up our CD in a thousand years, and language and words have changed or disappeared – numbers will remain. So we'll be their curiosity then, a geometric head-fuck from the past!
MEL: Would you care to introduce us to the band, what does each member bring to the table in experience and character?
MIKE: I'm Mike Bee, song writing and guitar conduit of the band. I've been playing and writing songs for 15 years, mainly electric and acoustic blues guitar. Playing live and improvisation is where I've learnt my trade, so my own style is a hybrid of many. When I'm involved in music it's like I'm possessed by creative energy, like an out-of-body experience and I'm the observer watching it happen! That journey is now my main influence. Out of a million-things, music has been the only constant in my life, it always will be. It would probably be fair to say I hold the vision of the 66!
RIMMER: I'm Daniel Rimmer, singer. I don't know. I brought my experience from my previous band, but I feel I've evolved in the 66. I bring a bit of style, as I'm officially 'Warrington's most fashionable male 2009' see the Warrington Guardian archives.
CRAIG: The bassist is yours truly, Craig Harman. My love of Blues, those bands and artists who've developed the Blues into their own pieces of work, Madchester, Britpop and House music gave me my inspiration for the bass lines I play. According to some, I am the pioneer of the Harman-Swing which scientists explain 'is caused by the flow of adrenalin going right through his body when playing live'.
GLOVER: As the eldest member, I'd like to think I bring a certain level of sensibility to the chaos. I generally shy away from the spotlight and see myself as more of a chef in the back kitchen, throwing my sonic spicing into the 66 cooking pot!
IAN: I'm Ian Wilson the drummer. I would say my experience in playing different styles definitely brings a wide variety of beats and rhythms to the song writing. Playing live is my forte though, and where all my energy goes! Playing live is me, my character, and who I am.
The 66 playing the Warrington Festival in the Summer of 2010 - 'Hidden Glove'.
MEL: How/why/when did you guys all get together?
MIKE: In mid 2007 I was on holiday in Dublin with the missus. My bass player had just left my current band, and we were having one of those deep conversations fuelled by Italian food and heavy drinking. It's pretty hazy but I do remember still being pretty down from the split of the previous band I was involved in, The Bridge. I was thinking back to the madness and buzz of it all – wanted to be part of something again that felt real, with people who wanted it just as much. We talked about who would be in our ideal group, and came up with list of people. A few weeks before this, Danny had sent me a drunken text at stupid o clock in the morning, saying something along the lines of 'wanting to be a band together'. I didn't reply because I was comatose. He'd been nomadic for months following his band [The Energy] split. I didn't know him massively well, so he'd got my number from someone. What I did know was that he was a fucking brilliant frontman. He was added to the list, and the other names comprised of friends from Warrington and a serpent from Newton-le-Willows. They also happened to be amazing musicians who I respected, with the ability to cause chaos and mayhem; yet remain focused on the band.
We got together to make the music that we wanted to make. But first I had to poach them!
RIMMER: I was a free transfer, out of contract. Mike went on a scouting mission and I was the star-striker.
CRAIG: I was a victim of poaching tactics used by a certain other member of the band. I can still remember the beginning of shake and bake connection like it was yesterday.
GLOVER: I was playing bass at the time in a rock band, and had been doing so for a few years. So, the chance to play a different instrument, and create something new with musicians and friends I already knew and respected, proved to be an offer I couldn't refuse.
IAN: I hadn't been in a band for about a year and a half, when Mike asked me to join I said yeah straight away. I knew he was a top guitarist from when we were in school together, and we'd be fucking good.
MEL: So, its fair to say you're the spokesman for the band Mike, which is unusual as its generally the frontman who does all the talking. How do all the band get along, any in-house squabbling or are you all pretty easy going?
MIKE: Give him 2 beers and Rimmer will talk until the cows come home! It just won't make any sense or will offend 66% of the population. When it comes to things I'm passionate about I'll talk till I've run out of breathe, and the 66 happens to fall into that category. Out of all the bands I've been in, the 66 is an absolute enigma – we all get on really well. If we weren't in a band together, we'd be out drinking together - which is obviously what we do! I think it's down to a mutual respect, interests, and a combined urge to succeed. I think the fact that 4 of us have had to cope with Rimmer for the past 3 years has definitely brought us closer together, like any war situation. I consider the 66 to be my best friends; Rimmer is the younger brother who was born to test me!
MEL: What would you say was the manifesto of the band, do you have strong views about anything which comes out through your music? Anything you really want to fight a cause for?
MIKE: I have strong views, which usually find there way into the songs. I'll often take a theme and build a song or a number of songs from it. It may be a situation, feeling, colour or event. That's how the Storm EP was created. I knew there was going to be a song called 'Money Men', and the theme was going to be Oil; greed and lies. Then just a case of waiting for the inspiration to hit me so I could create the song. It happened at about 3am in the morning during a case of insomnia, often my most creative time! My songs are generally about light; darkness, love, loss, the esoteric, escapism, spirituality [not the religious type] combined with whisky, cigarettes and chaos. They can be written in minutes, or sometimes over the space of years in various forms until they're ready.
RIMMER: I think the manifesto of the band is to make big sounding music. That hopefully moves people and the Earth. The things I feel strongly about are; I can't abide shit music, everything has to sound big and massive. I can't stand jingly-jangly bollocks, the type of bands that wear suits and ties and dance around in an arty fashion. My final thought, if it's not big enough, and you don't wear paisley, then don't bother.
GLOVER: I have views and strong views about things, but I'm not the lyricist, so it would be too pretentious to say I try and convey any political messages through the medium of synthesiser sounds. But I think our music itself fights a cause for real music, back to a time where songs had atmosphere, and an energy, and not the watered down pop nonsense that people are being spoon-fed today.
CRAIG: My aim and mission is to get people moving to the beats of the band. I'm just really happy that people are out there enjoying and listening to our music. I hope everyone will enjoy what we've done with The Storm EP.IAN: To get our music listened to by as many people as possible. Everyone needs to good new music these days, with all the shite in the charts.
MIKE: Hmm-good question. You can't construct words without a jaw, so this is a Travelling Jaw used to promote the 66, as well friends and peoples music / ventures that we also enjoy. However, we do not control the Travelling Jaw, some say it controls us. The system went on-line February 2008. Human decisions were removed from strategic defence. Travelling Jaw began to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, April 2008. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. They failed…
MEL: This could be a pretty long list but who would you name as musical inspirations from growing up to present day?
MIKE: 'Voodoo Chile' by Hendrix changed by entire life as a 12 year old. Now it changes week by week, but at the moment I have Led Zep 3, Dead Skeletons and the Brian Jonestown Massacre on heavy rotation. And Muses 'Map of the Problematique' when I'm on the train.
RIMMER: I listened to loads of The Beatles when I was younger. My earliest recollection of having a favourite song was 'Up The Junction' by Squeeze, it's perfect pop. The story of someone's life in 3 and half minutes.
CRAIG: I could be here all day to be honest. Growing up Oasis was the band for me. My uncle's always had house music playing whenever I saw them and I was into that from as early as 8 or 9. I was just gutted when I got to around 15-16 that I couldn't go clubbing with decent DJ's such as Sasha, Digweed and Oakenfold at their best; I looked too young to try my luck. Since I've been playing the musical inspirations that have grabbed my attention are Stone Roses, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Music, Primal Scream, BRMC, Prodigy, Queen, 22-20s, the list goes on and on so I'll end it there.
IAN: I have tons of musical influences, but to name a few I would say The who; The Clash, Queen & Muse.
MEL: Who writes the lyrics to your songs, or is it a combined effort? How do most of the songs start out?
RIMMER: I take inspiration from watching people. I used to like making up stories when I first started writing songs, but now I write quite dark stuff, about death and sex! I tend to start a song, leave it, and then come back to it. I think if you try and rush something, it can sound like you're trying too hard – it should be a natural process.
MIKE: Death Sex! It's true all his lyrics are about death and sex. I also like to observe things, from a great distance. I'll often write full songs in my head, music and lyrics and then work on them when I'm near a guitar. I'm more of a conduit as my songs come to me from another dimension! It's a constant stream of lyrics, melody, beats and colours – everything else fits in-between. It's just a movie-script!
CRAIG: We really enjoy having our jams when we go into The Priory and we've came out of there a fair few times with a new tune from writing something on the spot. We usually play 20 minute plus sounds of chaos that we can't play live which is due to live set time limits. We all tend to write our own music outside of the practice room and we all get together and work on it as a collective.
MEL: Has there been any press coverage that you loved/annoyed or amused you? And if you had to write a review of a 66 gig what might you say in no more than two sentences?
MIKE: We've been very lucky that since we started nearly all our reviews have been pretty fucking stunning! That was a massive boost for us in the early stages, getting support from Manchester fanzines and writers we respected, it still is a boost! It drives you on. We appreciate the fact that people love our music as much as we do, and get it as well. In no more than two sentences "the past, the present, and the future – all rolled into one giant ball of sound"
CRAIG: All of the reviews that we've had so far have been fantastic. We're really glad to have started and kept up our reputation of performing well live. Two sentences eh? The Harman-Swing is nothing short of lunacy. I never know what they're going to do next with set-closer Firefly?!
RIMMER: When we played at the Dublin Castle in London, the programme had us down as sounding like The Vines, which I thought was hilarious as we're not a 3 piece, and we're not Australian. My review? "Come and see the 66, you'll never be the same again".
GLOVER: Energetic, atmospheric, loud, and powerful. I did it in 4 words instead!
IAN: I've never seen anything that's annoyed me so far; it's all been good. A review of the 66? 'We are musical Sinnery'.
MEL: Have you got anything planned tour wise, news shows booked? Any plans to take The 66 overseas?
MIKE: We're sticking to a few select gigs leading up to Christmas, and then we'll sit-down and make a battle-plan for the New Year. We're playing the Longfield Suite in Prestwich on December 2nd, with a Clint Boon Vs Mani DJ set, The Janice Graham Band and Richard Dutton and the So & So's… that's going to be a hell of a night.
We're also bringing back the legendary 66 Christmas Party after a years break. It's being held at the 'Old Town House' in Warrington on Bank Holiday Monday 27th. We've invited some friends from Manchester and some local acts to play on the night. It's free; so come down it's going to be rammed!
We'd love to go overseas; grab some high-profile support slots [so we can steal their fans] But we have a bit of a reputation for destroying bands we've supported, so they usually don't invite us on tour! There's talk of some gig exchanges with the bands also collaborating with Outlier Records, which would be immense. [There are some amazing bands on the roster] I'd be open to having someone on-board, or a booking agent to sort the gig side of things out, so we can concentrate on the music making. It's just a case of finding the right person – we don't give out the keys to the kingdom that easily. There are plenty of sharks in the water!
MEL: Highlights of The 66 journey so far, shows, recording, personal experiences?
MIKE: Everyday this band a riot, boredom does not enter. So for me, the whole journey, and it's only just beginning. Ask me in another 3 years after we've gone Platinum and left the current music scene in ruins – in order for a new musical world to arise, firstly the old one must be destroyed…
RIMMER: The highs for me personally, were people fighting to get into the Dublin Castle while we were on stage. And the first ever gig at the Lounge in Warrington, because you just knew it was the start of something special.
CRAIG: Every moment of the 66 has been amazing for me but I really enjoyed the recording of The Storm EP during an overnight stay at SSR. It was a bit of a task for me having to record a bassline to a song I'd never heard prior to that night! As far as live gigs go, the Scotland tour was special because the atmosphere was great and the banter was in full flow. Last year's In The City gig for Manchester Radio Online at the Moon Under Water was a cracking one too.
IAN: My highlight of the journey so far would have to be the Scotland tour, brilliant gigs and a good time all round. Check out the video, it exists.
MEL: So, your about to release your second E.P 'The Storm' which has some brilliant cover artwork, not forgetting superb tracks. Can you tell us where the inspiration for title and artwork came from? Talking of artwork who designed the logo with the fly, has this got a good story behind it - I know Rimmer is scared of spiders is he also scared of flies?
MIKE: Muchos Gracias, glad you like. Originally the EP was going be called 'The Hidden Glove', however the credit goes to our label guy Mark, so I'll use his words to explain how it came about – Working on the second track the conversation went something like "What the f**k's this? Shouldn't this be an album track? Shouldn't this be the album title"? This track was called 'The Storm'. It suddenly had a new meaning, The Storm EP was born.
A very talented guy called Benjamin Brown created the artwork. He's worked with a number of high profile names and acts for their artwork over the years, so we were delighted to secure his services – it felt like a missing link. When I gave him the brief for the logo via the label, he told Mark 'that is the most insane fucking brief I've ever had in my life, I like it' it's rife with meanings and symbology that I can't, and possibly never will go into! But it means something to each of us – a hint? The Fly is actually a rare 'Black Bee'. With the EP cover, Ben simply took all his talent and came up with something that was exactly right and was visioned – and then some! All the credit goes to Mr Brown for that one.
MEL: How proud are you of the finished product? Who produced the E.P (talk us through where it was recorded and any good tales you have around this). After this when can we expect the album?
MIKE: I'm very proud of the EP. I feel we've finally managed to translate our live sound onto record, which hasn't been easy in the past. We wanted to get something fresh out-there with the sound of the 66 in 2010, so decided to create something from scratch. This was our chance to indulge in our love of modern blues.
It was recorded live at the legendary Spirit Studios at SSR [School of Sound Recording] in Manchester, and engineered by Adam Stokell & Piotr Czarnecki in one all-night session. Peter Fergie & Nathan Cain engineered additional overdubs in another session. We wanted to write it quickly, and record it quickly and get it out-there. Glover worked on his parts at his own personal lab, somewhere in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The mixing was by Mark from Outlier Records and myself; which wouldn't have been possible without the expertise of Stephen Hull who controlled the hardware.
A lot of the debut album has actually been recorded, so we're toying with the idea of releasing two albums next year! We like to keep busy, and challenge ourselves in the process. I'm currently writing the follow up to the debut album already, giving myself a head start. Release dates? I'm not too sure; we'll have to see what the master plan is.
CRAIG: I'm delighted with what we've created in The Storm EP. It was our chance to show what we're capable of doing away from the album we're currently working on. Everyone who's been involved in making this happen has been first class and it's been an absolute pleasure to work with people who are so committed.
RIMMER: Yeah I'm really proud of it. And I'm looking forward to sharing it and seeing people's reactions.
IAN: I'm very proud of the new ep indeed, slightly different than people would have expected, I love it more with every listen!
MEL: The tracks on the E.P are a mixture of Woodstock, psychedelic, and blues inspired with names such as 'The Storm', 'Red Dog', 'Hidden Glove', 'Break Of Dawn', 'Money Men'. 'Break Of Dawn' seems to take a different direction though, with violins, sound of the ocean and a romantic vibe, was it wrote with anyone in mind? We recorded an exclusive live version of 'Red Dog' in the studio, is this one of your favourite tracks off the E.P.
RIMMER: Break of Dawn is about being insecure, which I guess is something everybody can relate too, and wanting to look after someone.
MIKE: I have a dislike for bands where all the songs sound the same, so we wanted to create something that had variety, but couldn't be pigeonholed. I hope we succeeded! Money Men is about the Gulf of Mexico disaster, not a political statement, more an observation. There are more important things in the world than the shit we're spoon-fed 24/7.
I heard Rimmer play break of dawn during a drinking session at his, and instantly knew it would be the perfect song to glue the others together so it was added to the EP. I haven't really got a favourite, as of yet, they're all our babies. Regarding Red Dog, I think you just caught us in the mood for playing some dirty blues, so we played that for you!
MEL: 'The Storm' is about to land (available Nov 1st) and your having a launch party in Manchester on Saturday Nov 6th @ Ducie Bridge on Corporation Street, Manchester and better still its FREE. What can we expect to see & hear?
MIKE: We'll playing 3 of the 5 tracks from the EP, then will encourage people to pay £3 if they want to hear the rest.This will be followed by a greatest hits set from the past 3 years. Yes, we have a greatest hits set. We're really looking forward to seeing all our friends from Warrington, Manchester and beyond that have supported us. No more so than all the guys from Manchester Radio Online, who are involved in the venue. They've shown their faith in us from day 1. We started around the same time so it's been great to watch us both grow over the years; however we're still chasing the 100,000 listeners a week! They're a top bunch so it felt right the party should be there.
MEL: And finally Warrington has a huge crop of talented bands and musicians, is there something in the water?
MIKE: Well it isn't the Fluoride. Maybe it's because we're sandwiched in-between Liverpool and Manchester, so it's a bit of musical crossroads? I'm not sure… it's always been full of talented musicians since I was young. In the last couple of years since the bands left the border and ventured out I think people have started to realise that. Most of our original venues have shutdown, so we have no choice but to be nomadic and spread our music! Unfortunately I don't think they'll ever be a BBC Introducing Warrington, but who knows? We could host it.
RIMMER: I think there is talent wherever you go through the country; it's just a case of people using it, or sitting on their arse and dreaming about it. I think in Warrington there is a good work ethic with the bands, there is a feeling of wanting to change things and not fall for the spoon-fed shite that the rest of the country does. i.e.the fucking X-Factor!
CRAIG: Must be something lingering about in the Mersey and the Ship Canal that's somehow combined and formed music-based bacteria to help Warrington stand up for itself in the middle of the Liverpool-Manchester battleground.
IAN: Warrington cannot escape its Northern musical routes. We are like a hybrid of these 2 great musical cities!
Thanks guys, good luck with your launch night and we eagerly await the album.
Many thanks to Mike, Danny, Craig, Glover, Ian for both the interview, taking the time to do the photoshoot and exclusive video. Thanks to Vanessa for assisting with the shoot - my long suffering companion on many outings and adventures.

Professional Steam Carpet Washing Services in St Albans, AL1 by Steam Carpet Cleaning LTD
Our deep steam carpet steaming firm has amazing experience in removing stubborn stains and renewing the vivid colors of your floor covering. Steam Carpet Cleaning LTD is a family business, established seven years ago in St Albans, AL1 which earned a lot of satisfied clients through these years. It has proved the highest quality services come at the most proper prices. By offering twenty-four-seven customer support we saved so much stress of our clients. They can be calm that whenever something happens to their carpet, they can call us immediately and we will be there for them. Steam Carpet Cleaning LTD has the most contemporary equipment and highly-trained professionals. These two main factors guarantee perfect results of our work.
Spot Protection
Every client we have is thinking over the topic how to save the rugs and upholstery at home in remarkable condition – smooth and without any stains. Stain safety for carpets is an impressive technique to longer the life of your carpet and save money from everyday rug maintaining processes. Using a stain and spot protector is undoubtedly beneficial if you have pets and overcoming urine and vomit spots has turned into an everyday routine for you. Aside from that, if you have bought excellent quality natural fiber rug, it is surely worth paying additional money to preserve it from stains. We have asked all of our customers to share their positive experience with carpeted flooring stain protection. They say that using the right protector will protect the carpeted flooring from acquiring dust. Sadly, if you have completely made of wool rugs it is highly difficult to save the floor coverings tidy and neat. You may find it useful to buy a floor covering which is made of of 80 % wool and 20% nylon because it is much easier to be cleaned. Nevertheless, still so many people prefer completely natural fiber floor coverings considering the idea these carpets look more classy, being compared to synthetic rugs. Still, you may get manmade rugs of real sheep wool, well-known for their easy maintenance. You can enjoy them for many years and these rugs won't change. These floor coverings were widely-spread 30 or 40 years ago but now it is incredibly challenging to have such rugs. These rugs do not require spot protection. The only alternative for you to overcome the stains is to rinse the carpeted flooring with water and shampoo. After that you will have to leave the carpets to drain which can require days. Manmade wool floor coverings are really heavy and that is the explanation why they are commonly promoted as area rugs.
Carpeted flooring and rug protectors are sold as sprays forming foam which not only block stains, but also repel spills and protect the carpet from dirt. If you pour your juice for instance you will be able to cope with the problem easy if you have sprayed a spot protection in advance. Another useful aspect of spot protectors is their ability to make a layer on the top of the carpet which prevents the stains from reappearing. A lot of sprays can be used for carpeted floorings, vehicle upholstery and upholstery protection. If you hesitate whether the protector is safe for your pets, you need to close the pets outside until the carpeted flooring dries completely. According to the thickness of the carpeted flooring, several hours will be required for the carpet to dry. When you are choosing the most suitable rug protector, double-check it is recommended for your type of carpeted flooring. Some stain protectors should not be used on wool carpets.
Although you are probably cleaning the carpets once a week or even more often, you should use specialist maintaining services minimum twice per year. Steam Carpet Cleaning LTD is the most suitable decision for specialist carpeted flooring cleaning business in St Albans because Steam Carpet Cleaning LTD has over 10 years practice in this area and thousands of faithful customers.

Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.
It seems like Satan has thrown the DH into our game.
I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for.
Last year we had so many people coming in and out they didn't bother to sew their names on the backs of the uniforms. They just put them there with Velcro.
It's a lot like life. I think 99 percent of what goes on in life, we have very little control over.
They wanted me to play third like Brooks so I did play like Brooks - Mel Brooks.
I always respected Barry Bonds, and I wanted to let him know that I did in a certain way.
I don't care what you do - baseball or politics - George W. Bush is always going to be compared to his father. I just want it to be an easy answer in 50 years - Who was the better player, me, or my kids? I want it to be my kids.

RANGELEY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — After two years of uncertainty, a group from Australia buys Saddleback Mountain with lofty goals to make it a premiere ski resort in the country.
The Majella Group is buying the ski mountain from the current owners Bill and Irene Berry of Farmington and made the announcement on Wednesday, June 28. They say the sale of Maine's third largest ski resort will be finalized sometime this summer.
► WATCH: Reaction from owner, community
The Majella group CEO, Sebastian Monsour says they want to turn Saddleback into a "premiere ski resort in North America", and make it a four season destination.
The new CEO of Saddleback Mountain Ski Resort is Fred LaMontagne. He moved to Maine when he was 15 years-old and was a Portland firefighter and Fire Chief for over 20 years.
LaMontagne says the current chair lifts will be replaced with the newest systems and several other updates will be made to the resort.
The group says they will offer jobs to Mainers first, before looking elsewhere to upgrade their workforce.
A group of local business owners and community members in Rangeley had tried to buy the Saddleback Mountain Ski Resort.
In a statement, the group called the Saddleback Mountain Foundation says they are happy for the future of the mountain and that they will return the donations made to their cause.
It was announced back in the fall of 2016, that the group was going to band together to try and buy their beloved Saddleback Mountain Ski Resort. They say the closing of the mountain caused serious economic hardship for the tourism-driven area.
Relying on donations from the public, and promising exclusive ski memberships - the Saddleback Mountain Foundation was born. A verbal agreement was reached with the mountain's current owners- the Berry family. This group would apply as a non-profit, and raise the money to reopen the mountain.
The foundation's leaders said they need to raise $4 million to close the deal and potentially open the resort in time for ski season.
The Saddleback Mountain Foundation says the group received $5 million in pledges. The deal also includes the Trust for Public buying three thousand acres next to the ski area.
As the months went on, weekly newsletters were published on a private Facebook page called "Saddleback Mountain Foundation" for donors and interested community members. The group contains over 1,300 members.

Hi Everyone!
Today, I'm comparing two high end colour correcting primers: Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer- Adjust and Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer- Redness Correcting Primer.
I own the travel-sized Smashbox primer, but used the 1 oz price to compare it to the Make Up For Ever primer.
Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer- Adjust
Look less red! This green-toned primer color-corrects redness, blurs pores, evens skin tone & reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer- Redness Correcting Primer
REDNESS CORRECTING PRIMER instantly neutralizes and evens out red tones for flawless foundation coverage. Green Spectraflex® pigments color correct redness and boost radiance while moisturizing agents provide hydration. Skin tone is evened out for a flawless makeup all day long.
The Smashbox primer didn't reduce any redness, when you blend it into your skin. It's like they added a green tint to their silicone photo finish primer that blurs pores. The green sort of just moves around and doesn't blend in as well.
The Make Up For Ever primer has the consistency of a moisturizer/serum and when you blend it into your skin, it actually neutralizes redness. Although if you constantly have to cover up redness, I suggest investing in a colour correcting concealer instead of a primer.
WINNER: Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer- Redness Correcting Primer
If you're looking at which primer actually conceals redness, Make Up For Ever is the winner. If you prefer Smashbox Primers, I would just buy the Photo Finish one and then use a colour correcting concealer on top of it because when I was blending the swatches on my hand, I was just moving green chunks around on my hand.
I get red on and around my nose and chin, and sometimes the Make Up For Ever primer doesn't cover it. I think if you get very mild redness, then the primer is okay, but if you constantly need to cover up redness, I think it's best to invest in a colour correcting concealer and just get a regular face primer. I absolutely love the two other Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primers that I've tried: smoothing (For Large Pores & Fine Lines) and hydrating (Universal formula for normal skin with occasional dryness). They have a light scent to them, like a nice perfume. Make Up For Ever has four natural finish primers: hydrating, redness correcting, nourishing and smoothing. They also sell a mattifying one and radiant finish colour correcting primers (blue, pink, yellow, peach, caramel and mauve).
Some recommendations for a colour correcting concealer: Urban Decay's Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid and the NYX HD Photogenic Concealer Wand- Green. The Urban Decay and NYX ones are similar, the NYX one is a dupe for the Urban Decay one in terms of the type of product, but the shades of green are very different and the NYX one is thicker. Even from my swatches below, you can see that the NYX one has absorbed into my skin a bit and the Urban Decay one is more liquid.

Welcome to Digital Mappa 1.0
Digital Humanities workspaces, editions, scholarship,
collaborations & publications for the rest of us
What is Digital Mappa? (the short take)
A. If you're not already affiliated with a DM server, then you can set up your own instance of it (some assembly required).
B. Start making your own digital humanities workspaces, collaborations, projects and open access scholarly publications for collections of images and texts – if you can click, type, copy & paste, then you can use DM.
Digital Mappa (DM for short) is a freely available online environment for creating projects out of digital images and texts. The premise of DM is simple and powerful: if you have a collection of digital images and/or texts, you should be able to produce an online resource that links together specific moments on these images and texts together, annotate these moments as much as you want, collaborate with others on this work, have the content you produce be searchable, and publish this work to others or the public as you wish. And you should be able to do this with little technical expertise.
Within DM, if you can point, click, drag, copy, paste and type, you basically have the technological ability to produce your own sophisticated digital scholarship, editions and projects. DM can be used to create your own personal workspace, a collaborative research space, a pedagogical space for your students, or a public publishing platform. It can be used to produce traditional scholarship that also takes advantage of being digital.
Link together moments on images and texts, as specific as you want
Create multiple annotations and links on a single highlight
Annotations and links are bi-directional, so you can travel back and for between them
Present and work across multiple documents at the same time
To learn more about DM and what it can do for you, 1) take a look at our showcase projects page to get started exploring and imagining, and then 2) you can play around in the DM Sandbox, where you can make your own temporary test project.
When you are ready to begin making your own permanent projects in DM, take a look at our requirements page to learn more about what you'll need to get going! And if you are interested in the history of DM, then check out our history page for the whole story and other credits.
Please Note: DM 1.0 is very much a beta version – it's a working draft of basic features and functionality of the resource, and so it's limited in some ways and a stepping stone to the full version of DM that will be released next year, as DM 2.0.
As a beta version, DM 1.0 is also really designed only for smaller scale projects of less than a dozen objects or primary texts – but you'll be able to scale up your projects in DM 2.0, which will provide ways to manage and organize larger collections and sub-collections.
Digital Mappa has been made possible with the generous support of: the National Endowment for the Humanities, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the Council on Library and Information Resources, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, the British Library, Drew University, UW-Madison's Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture, UW-Madison's English Department.
It is also dedicated to every institution that is making its digital holdings freely available to all – the next generation of Humanities scholarship cannot happen without you.

B'nai Mitzvah Program
Jewish "Coming of Age" for 12-13 year olds and their families
"Coming of age" is a big deal. If navigated skillfully and consciously, this time can be meaningful and wholesome for all involved, parents as well as children. It is a time of identity formation, values clarification, reflection on big questions, and understanding ones place in the Jewish story.
Kol HaLev is committed to helping each family craft a meaningful, purposeful Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Ideally, families arrive at this stage after completing the Daled class of Beit Lev, during which relationships with peers are formed, early B'nai Mitzvah preparation takes place, and families have established themselves as members of the Kol HaLev community. Together with our B'nai Mitzvah coordinators Rabbi Ruth Smith and Larry Smith, and our clergy, Rabbi Geoff Basik and Cantor George Henschel, your family will experience the true joy of coming of age in the Jewish tradition.
2018-2019 - Our 7th-grade class will meet one Saturday evening per month with a pizza dinner and a group activity at 6:00 p.m. on the following dates: September 15, October 20, November 17, December 15, January 19, February 16, March 16, April 13, and May 18. You must enroll your child in the B'nai Mitzvah Program.

Republicans seek pay freeze for federal workers; a 'cynical ploy,' Democrats say
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Looking to demonstrate their commitment to balancing the budget, Republicans are increasingly targeting the federal workforce.
In the past month, congressional Republicans have tried to attach to several bills language that would limit pay increases for federal workers. This week, as part of a GOP amendment to a Democratic bill that would spend billions on unemployment benefits and help states fund their Medicaid programs, Senate Republicans are including a proposal that would freeze pay levels for the 2 million people who work for the government.
Similar proposals have failed in the House and Senate, and Democrats probably will vote this one down as well. But Republicans say they are determined to keep pushing the issue, arguing that federal employees should not receive pay increases while many private-sector workers face cuts in pay, hours and benefits, as well as layoffs.
"We're paying too many people too much money," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (Utah), who has pursued the matter as the top Republican on a congressional subcommittee that oversees the federal workforce. "I'd actually like to see [federal salaries] cut."
President Obama has proposed increasing federal workers' pay by 1.4 percent this year, less than recent increases. He has also called for freezing spending at most agencies for the next three years.
At the same time, Democrats argue that the GOP proposal for federal pay is largely symbolic. The national budget deficit last year was more than $1 trillion; the pay freezes would save less than $3 billion.
"We need to reject this cynical ploy to make federal employees a scapegoat for spending after congressional Republicans added trillions to the debt when they were in the majority," Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.) said before the House voted down one of the pay measures.
Randy Ervin, legislative director for the National Federation of Federal Employees, said that if such legislation passed, it would "greatly undermine the ability of federal agencies to recruit and retain a qualified workforce."
Republicans have long raised concerns about public-sector pay. President Ronald Reagan fired 11,000 striking air traffic controllers in 1981 rather than increase their pay. Looking to reduce deficits, a group of governors, mainly Republicans such as newly elected Chris Christie in New Jersey, are backing for limits on state employee salaries.
Republicans at the state and federal levels say that high retention rates in government agencies show that these workers would not command similar wages in the private sector. But supporters of federal pay increases, such as Ervin's group, say that when comparing individual jobs, federal employees often make less than their counterparts in private businesses.
Oil hearings
Congress will take a leading role this week in the reaction to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, summoning not only BP chief executive Tony Hayward but also the chiefs of Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips. The executives will appear Tuesday before a panel of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. On Thursday, Hayward will make his first appearance on Capitol Hill since the spill.
It won't be the lawmakers' first action on the issue; the Democratic-led Congress has held numerous hearings on the disaster.

Weight loss is—Important–
Weight loss is—Essential to live the life I want to live–
Weight loss is—The hardest thing I have done in my life–
Weight loss is FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!
I am 3 years into a journey that has taken me to new highs and new lows. It pushes me to want to finish strong, yet finishing strong just seems so hard. I am on track, I am working out, I am walking, and eating right more often than not. So why is it so hard to see progress?
In weight loss you are focused on numbers. Initially I weighed myself every other day. I measured myself every week. I was so big. I could never really see the changes. It gets frustrating because you want to be done, you want to be seen for who you are becoming. It took me 2 years to be able to see that I didn't look like my original photo. The games your mind plays on you.
I actually stopped weighing myself and just went to inches. It is cool to say I used to be 72 inches around..(I was as wide as I am tall). Now I am 49 inches at my widest. I went to measuring because when you work out and give it all you have and either stay stagnant or only lose a pound it upsets you. However, when you see you've lost a half an inch, well… THAT is a big deal! I also started to take a facial picture every week. I can scroll through those to see changes. It gives me hope that I can and will get to and reach my goal.
So what is next for me? Patience. I have to keep doing what I am doing. I can't feel pushed to finish or pulled back into bad habits. I need to keep working towards finishing my goals. I noticed in the last few days my thoughts constantly going to I just want to be done. I don't see enough change, I don't see enough progress, I want more.. This morning I had to really refocus. This is not about quick, this is not about short cuts, this is about losing a LOT of weight in a safe manner. This is about losing a LOT of weight in a way that my body lets me. I am not a victim of slow weight loss, I am at fault for allowing myself to get so big. It will take time for me to turn around the damage that I did to myself. Do I always have patience? No I have every reason to want it to hurry up. But in reality I am trapped in what my body will give me. Though—–I am learning patience and have been for 4 years. I just wish I didn't have to be so patient sometimes. <Laughing>
I wanted to mention an email I received from Derek in Canada. He contacted me about what it will take to turn his life around. I emailed him back, and was encouraged by his response. He had a day off and felt so good about wanting to change he cleaned up his house. You know, weight loss is also about caring about yourself again. Caring about how you look, caring about your outward appearance and how people see you. The more I lose, the more I notice I want my clothes to fit better, I want my hair to look better, I want to show off the work I am doing. Derek, keep working on yourself. I know you can and will achieve your goals with time and patience!! Work on your own N.E.W.S.T.A.R.T.!
So–Am I shrinking? Is there a difference?? Am I doing it fast enough? Soon enough? Is it worth it? You be my judge.

As I played with the idea, I decided I didn't wanted all plastic bag pages, just a few. I cut some white card stock to size for pages and made a tape-bound book, interspersing a plastic bag after every two or three pages. I decided on a tape binding because I didn't want to sew through the flimsy plastic. I knew the bags wouldnt' hold up. I've used the tape binding once before in this challenge. It is dead easy--no stitching, no glue--and I actually like the finished look. And I like that it allows the book to open completely flat.
Basically you just lay two pages side by side and tape them together at the join. Turn the right page over the left, lay down another page and tape it to the last one. Turn it over, butt another page up to it and tape them together... and so on until it's as thick as you want it to be. The covers were added the same way.
For this tape bound book, I used red duct tape (you might realize by now it's one of my favorite materials). After the block was completely taped together, I covered the spine with a wider piece of tape to finish it off.
I think it's kind of fun, and I like the idea that you can use it to collect stuff, not just notes and ideas, but actual physical stuff. I can see myself filling the plastic bags with feathers, leaves, tickets and other bits of ephemera.
Because yeah, I really do collect stuff.

If you're worried about losing the ability to manage your money, property and affairs, or who will make decisions about your health and welfare when you are older; you should consider making a Lasting Power of Attorney.
A Power of Attorney allows someone to make decisions on your behalf, if there comes a time when you lack the 'mental capacity' to make decisions for yourself. This could happen to you through old age, illness or injury. A Lasting Power of Attorney gives you real security for the future and ensures that decisions that have to be made later are made by someone you trust.
Without a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), your family and friends will not have legal authority to manage your affairs on your behalf. Having an LPA in place will avoid the need to apply to the Court of Protection for a deputyship order, which can be expensive and time-consuming. There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
By making a Lasting Power of Attorney you can choose one or more people that you trust, to make decisions on your behalf about your property and money, healthcare and personal welfare. Our expert Elderly client team can advise you on all aspects of making a Lasting Power of Attorney, including the capacity to make LPAs, registration and assisting your attorney or attorneys in their very important role. We can also advise on General and Enduring Powers of Attorney.

Seven questions to assess business health
26 October 2017
Profitability in livestock production is no longer just a result of working hard and being frugal, according to business consultant Ian McLean.
"To be a successful manager of a modern agricultural business, you need a multi-disciplinary skill set. Financial literacy is the most important of those skills," he said.
"Agricultural businesses are big operations turning over millions of dollars and managers require a sophisticated understanding of all aspects of the business."
Ian is delivering Business EDGE workshops at locations across Queensland in the next six months. He urges producers to sign up to find answers to the seven questions to accurately assess the health of their business. These are:
- Am I just keeping records for tax reporting purposes? Meeting tax compliance should be the final task for your financial data collection – not the first. Using financial data to evaluate business enterprises is a powerful way to understand profitability.
- Do I understand the figures? Interpreting key financial information is crucial.
- Which data matters? Understanding your profit before interest and tax is crucial in assessing business health and calculating those figures comes from knowing what data impacts this.
- Can our business afford debt? Debt can create or destroy wealth.
- What are our goals and aspirations? Understanding the needs and desires of your family and whether your business can fund them is essential and helps manage issues such as succession planning and education.
- What are the risks in my business? Honest assessment and management of business risk (such as weather, prices, health and safety) is crucial.
- Profit – where does it come from? Knowing how your business makes a profit and what you can do to influence profit in individual farm enterprises sets your business up for success.
Business EDGE was developed by MLA in 2010 for northern beef enterprises and in 2016 was extended to cover southern livestock businesses.
Upcoming workshops in northern Australia include:
Townsville: 16–17 November 2017
Rockhampton: 20–21 November 2017
Charleville: 5–6 March 2018
Goondiwindi: 8–9 March 2018
