Could school change teacher's contract, which said it was "subject to variation, depending on the requirements of the school timetable"?
We have recently reported on two cases where employers have tried to change the terms of their employee's contracts without their agreement, relying instead on 'variation' clauses in their contracts.
Changes to employment contracts generally need to be agreed with the employee, and the courts will be very reluctant to let employers take advantage of any flexibility clauses.
This case is no exception, and the EAT did not let the employer in this case (St Mary's School in Colchester) rely on its flexibility clauses. These expressly stated that teaching times would "be notified separately and may be subject to variation depending upon the requirements of the School Timetable", and that "During school term time … the Teacher shall work … as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Principal for the proper performance of his/her duties."
The claimant, Mrs Hart, a part time learning support teacher, had been asked to work under a different pattern of days, and when she refused, after some discussion and consultation, these were forced upon her. The EAT held that the school had no authority to do so and that they had therefore breached Mrs Hart's contract of employment.
The approach taken by the EAT in this case was make every effort to construe any flexibility in the contract strictly against the employer, despite the clauses in question being on the face of it in favour flexibility. In light of this and the other cases recently reported, employers should be very wary of relying too readily on any flexibility clauses in their contracts of employment.
It is possible, however, for employers to force contractual changes on employees, where there is a good business reason for this, and it can show that the proper considerations and process has been followed.
If you have any requirement to change the terms and conditions of your employees, please contact our team of experienced employment law solicitors.

Typically, the most challenging part of developing a website for clients is the generation of content assets, the text, graphics, documents and so forth that will be needed to populate the site. Here are some brief suggestions for developing useful and usable, high-quality assets:
First, identify which pages you'll need to develop, then start writing copy. It's best to use a professional word processor such as Microsoft Word, but it's perfectly OK to simply use paper and submit your copy to us manually. When drafting your pages, DON'T use a lot of copy--nobody likes to read gobs of text online. Keep your pages to a few paragraphs.
Not sure of what to write? No need to reinvent the wheel--go look at your competitor sites and see what they've developed. Compare and contrast your business, and document why your organization is better, faster or cheaper in some way. Again, keep your content concise and to the point; that way, more folks will read what you do provide and you'll have less to write (a win-win approach!).
Finding high-quality images can be tricky; billions of images exist online through popular search engines such as Google, but much of it is licensed in some way and can't be used without payment or permission. There are websites where you can purchase stock images, but those can be expensive. Microsoft Office provides free access to a large library of photographs and clip art, so that's a good place to start. Of course, photographs taken with a digital camera can be adapted for the Internet as well, but let us process your images first--there are techniques to the process.
Virtually all organizations need to put documents online for their clients, partners or site visitors. The standard format by far is Adobe Acrobat (PDF), so even if you're using a word processor such as Microsoft Word, you'll want to first convert those files into PDF format before uploading them to your website. If you're looking to provide fillable forms that folks can complete online, you'll need to save your PDFs in Acrobat Professional version 8 or later (fillable forms get tricky, so contact us with any questions).
Multimedia assets (especially video) are best handled these days through dedicated cloud-based applications such as YouTube and Flickr. If you're planning to make audio or video assets available on your site, create a YouTube channel and upload them there first, and then embed references to those assets within your site. YouTube, Flickr and social media sites like Facebook offer nearly unlimited storage capabilities, so take advantage of these systems.
Of course, when it comes to preparing your website assets, you're not alone--we can help! We've been doing this sort of thing for a long time and we know how to develop rich and engaging content quickly and efficiently. Contact Us if you need any help developing your site assets!

In a recent opinion piece, Alabama State Board of Education Member Mary Scott Hunter, refocused the conversation on the results of the state's new A-F grading system. While the initial evaluation of the state's schools, districts, and the overall education system were surprising and disturbing, Mary Scott took this opportunity to call upon parents to examine where schools are struggling to produce solid results and how communities can foster a better learning environment for our children.
As a state education leader and mother, Mary Scott's call to action for involvement is the right direction. A-F grading systems, and other statewide evaluation tools are not always the perfect method nor do they answer every question. But they can be an important tool to give local leaders more information and a good starting point when it comes to examining how they can improve outcomes in critical measures like academic achievement and growth, graduation rates, college and career readiness, and chronic absenteeism.
During my time as Secretary of Education in President Reagan's Administration, we sought to find areas where parents, educators, and community members could take control at the state level and reform local education systems. Similarly, these report card results empower Alabamians with better information to really reshape their education systems and their evaluation methods.
I commend education champions like Mary Scott Hunter who are seizing the opportunity to use these results as a way to engage families and communities across the state. With this strong state and local leadership, I look forward to the improvements that will be reflected in Alabama's report card in years to come.
William J. Bennett is the former Secretary of Education and currently serves as Chairman of Conservative Leaders for Education.

BSkyB saw its broadband customer growth halved in the company's third quarter, for which it partly blamed its takeover of O2's home broadband network where as many as 30,000 subscribers quit the service.
The pay-TV giant said that operating profit tumbled 8.5 per cent to £910m for the nine months ended 31 March, after the company chucked cash at Premier League rights as it continued to battle BT for footie telly supremacy.
During the period, the telco reported a 6.6 per cent climb in sales to £5.6bn.
It said that 70,000 subscribers had signed up to its broadband product during the quarter.
BSkyB said that there had been "slightly higher levels of churn from the acquired O2 broadband base as we complete the migration of the remaining customers."
To put that into perspective, in the same period a year earlier - when The Register first broke the news that BSkyB was about to scoop up O2's home broadband network - the company added 152,000 customers to its service.
BSkyB admitted today that the buyout of O2's consumer wing had "an estimated impact of between 20,000 and 30,000" people abandoning the network.
Its total broadband base is now just shy of 5.2 million subscribers. ®

- Practicing Nurses and Their Philosophy
- Philosophy of a Nursing Essay
Fundamental Characteristics of a Nursing Philosophy Paper
A nursing philosophy paper is a common academic work assigned to students. Before producing it, one should find out what a nursing philosophy is and how to define it. It is necessary to state that there are a number of factors that determine one's own perception of such a profession as a nurse. Everyone has their own inherent convictions that influence their attitude to a particular profession. In order to create a solid personal philosophy of a nursing paper, it is worth identifying the issues that matter a lot to you.
The points presented below are the elements that constitute one's beliefs:
- Cooperation with patients
- Interaction with healthcare experts and patients' family
- Knowledge gained during the academic years
Formulating your own philosophy will help you make a strong connection with the values and beliefs which you consider vital. Moreover, if you firmly establish your principles, it will be easier for you to enter into the chosen area. Once you figure out what your nursing mission is, you will be able to broaden your outlook and knowledge and improve your skills.
Outlining a Professional Philosophy of the Nursing Area
What is a nursing concept? According to the definition, it is the way in which the concepts illustrating a methodical and theoretical perspective on the matter are arranged in. Strictly speaking, if you are a prospective nurse, you have your own opinion about the peculiarities of such type of job. The way you perceive nursing in will impact your decisions and actions.
Nursing Philosophy for Students
It is obvious that a nurse should have some traits and abilities that are essential in their work. One should realize the importance of such a profession and therefore, be sure of the decision to join it. If you crave to become a nurse, it is obvious that you have defined your aim in life. However, do you fully comprehend what attracts you most of all in nursing? Once you set your nursing career goals, you will understand why you are so passionate about a career in such a domain. If you are able to end the phrase "The reasons why I chose nursing…," you will gain a broader understanding of what the profession of a nurse is focused on. As a result, it will be easier for you to fulfill your duties.
Thus, what nursing concepts do you consider valuable? What is your chief nurse philosophy statement? As soon as you respond to the questions given above, you will manage to develop your own philosophy.
Practicing Nurses and Their Philosophy
You may think that you live according to the principles which you have formulated. Hence, why do you need to work out any philosophies?
It is apparent that nurses have to satisfy specific requirements in order to take care of the patients in the right way. Practicing nurses have very busy working days and often face stressful situations, not talking about the amount of physical work they have to do.
Still, if you define your own standards or principles, it will be easier for you to meet the imposed demands. Certainly, all of us want to believe that we play a great role in someone's life.
Some experts working within a particular field of study confidently start building their careers in their forties or even later. The point is that reformulating one's objectives is rather helpful in setting and attaining new targets. This is rather a good motivating tool that will stimulate you to work in the best way.
Philosophy of a Nursing Essay: Handy Prompts to Follow!
Composing a philosophy of a nursing essay is a typical task assigned to learners studying at a specific nursing school. When drafting such a project, they have an opportunity to express their opinion on nursing. Preparing such type of an application essay is very useful. It helps applicants comprehend why they desire to become a nurse, what they will do to be a respectable employee, and how they evaluate this job. Professors give students such an assignment to teach them to go beyond the boundaries of standard thinking. Additionally, creating such an admission essay will help students prepare for their first job interview.
It is necessary to admit that some students have not defined their own philosophy yet. Still, it is not a problem. Once you answer the following questions, you will be able to easily formulate your principles.
- What are the peculiar features of nursing?
- Why do I consider nursing essential?
- Why is being a nurse helpful for the society?
- What does the notion "qualified nurse" mean?
- What skills should a nurse possess?
- What inaccuracies should nurses avoid?
- What moral qualities should a nurse have?
By compiling such a list of questions and answering them, you will face no problems in shaping your own philosophy.
Transforming your responses into your nursing philosophy can be achieved by taking the steps described below:
Step 1. Say whether nursing signifies something to you. Here it does not go about a dictionary definition. Try to develop the answers given to the above questions into descriptive sentences.
Step 2. Present a few stories telling about your values and skills. State how you implement them by giving examples of the nursing philosophy.
Step 3. Explain how you tried to influence the society by means of nursing. The provided examples should refer to the disadvantaged social classes.
Step 4. End defining your philosophy by illustrating the features and abilities that matter to you the most. If it is possible, try to connect the mentioned qualities with your present perspective, or past nursing student clinical experience.
When tailoring your nursing paper, concentrate on the following three points:
- What: Mind that your philosophy should be based on your principles.
- Why: Identifying your philosophy of nursing is essential as it will guide you through your career.
- How: Respond to the reflective questions to understand your mission.
Find a job in the nursing area that would suit your philosophy and give you valuable experience.

Marco Rubio Continues To Pander To Extremists: Senator To Deliver Keynote At Fundraiser Honoring Anti-Gay Activist
November 14, 2013 - Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has intensified his desperate pandering to the dwindling ranks of anti-gay extremists. This weekend, Rubio will deliver the keynote address at the Florida Family Policy Council's (FFPC) dinner, honoring notorious anti-gay activist Mat Staver who has called gay rights an "iceberg" that will destroy America.
Rubio has faced sustained national criticism for blocking the nomination of a black, gay federal judicial nominee. That criticism grew when Rubio announced opposition to a national nondiscrimination bill that passed the Senate with strong bipartisan support. Polls show strong and growing majorities support equal rights protections that prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, said Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida.
"The junior senator from Florida is now shockingly out of touch with the majority of voters in Floridians and across the country," said Smith. "Since getting his hand slapped by the far right for even suggesting improvements to immigration laws, Rubio has been too busy polishing his extreme right credentials to notice that people are offended by these attacks on fairness and equality."
Rubio will be honoring Staver, the founder and chairman of the Liberty Council, a staunchly conservative organization dedicated to promoting anti-gay and anti-choice policies. Staver runs the Liberty Council law school where students have accused him of advocating that they ignore the actual law in favor of "biblical law." He has argued that including gay people in history lessons is a sexual assault on students. He has also alleged that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) will lead to child molestation and sexual assaults.
Rubio's support of the Florida Family Policy Council and his praise for Staver are just the latest example of his growing lurch to the far right. He voted against an immigration reform bill that he had championed, stating "If this bill has something in it that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I'm done."
Rubio is also keeping company with John Stemberger, the Florida Family Policy Council's president, who recently told conservative radio host Janet Mefferd, "We're not going to tolerate somebody who's, you know, here and queer, loud and proud, all of that nonsense."

Jerry Lee Lewis shows how it's done
House of Blues, Anaheim, Cal., Aug. 28 2004
By Dan MacIntosh
ANAHEIM, CA - It's sad to realize that Jerry Lee Lewis is the lone survivor from that 'Big Five' Sun Records gang, a pioneering group that also included the equally iconic figures of Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and, of course, Elvis. So it's no overstatement to say that Lewis' audience tonight came for a taste of music history and to bask in the presence of a true living legend.
Although the obviously-aged Lewis played for less than an hour, this patient crowd still spontaneously erupted with whoops, hollers and loud applause the second The Killer ripped through "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire," right before the conclusion of his performance. These moments even made it worth putting up with his backing band's full four-song set, which they heartlessly plodded through before he took the stage, as well as the many dated oldies (such as "Chantilly Lace") that filled out Lewis' mostly unadventurous set list.
The elder Lewis is not quite the scary figure he was back when he first started. In those days, when he had stringy red hair and rolled from town to town showing off his red hot playing, he was truly one great ball of fire. And while he may not have the same commanding presence of old, he can still pound on a piano with real rock and roll spirit and even kick at the keys now and again.
Signs of his advancing age were most prominent in his voice, however, as he mumbled whenever he spoke, and sometimes even when he sang. But the fact that this innovator is still able to sit at the piano and show the youngsters how it is done, is a blessing that should never be taken for granted.
Speaking of the young, this show was opened by The Supersuckers. With its druggy songs (such as "Non Addictive Marijuana") and shaggy grooming, this outlaw-ish band showed off the rebel family line it gladly shares with Lewis and other left-of-mainstream artists.
But on songs like "Peace In The Valley" and especially the gentle "One Cigarette Away," these Supersuckers revealed that they clearly know their way around a real country song. They may sometimes come off looking and sounding like cheeky country music imposters, but deep down inside, this group is the real deal.

Dell has announced progress with the expansion of its closed-loop recycled plastic supply chain, as well as introduction of reclaimed carbon-fiber source materials.
For this, Dell has partnered with supplier SABIC to recycle excess carbon fiber and scrap raw materials into new Dell products beginning in late 2015. Initially, select Latitude and Alienware products will contain recycled carbon fiber, with plans to expand across these two product portfolios in 2016. Dell estimates that by partnering with SABIC, it will prevent 820,000 lb of carbon fiber from ending up in landfills. The recycled carbon fiber materials have an approximately 11% smaller carbon footprint than simply using virgin carbon fiber.
Dell Partners with SABIC to recycle excess carbon-fiber into new products[/caption]
Since Dell began pioneering its closed-loop recycled plastics supply chain in January 2014, the company has recycled 4.2 million lbs of closed-loop plastics into enclosures for new Dell products. These plastics were used in more than 30 flat panel monitor models and three Dell OptiPlex desktops available globally, with plans to scale across servers and other products in 2016. Dell's process was certified by UL Environment as the first closed-loop supply chain, and continues to be the only one in the industry. Dell was also able to reduce its product carbon footprint via the closed-loop products by 11 percent and realized a cost savings over previous sources. "The technology industry has a unique responsibility to help shift the world to a circular economy model, and Dell's long standing investments in sustainable business puts us in a unique position to lead the way," said Trisa Thompson, vice president and chief responsibility officer at Dell. "We are always looking for collaborations that bring efficiencies to our business, and help our customers do the same."

Sayville Cinemas
103 Railroad Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
A new 1,000-seat theatre was built adjacent the the original Sayville Theatre (former Novelty Theatre), designed by architects John Eberson and Drew Eberson, it opened on April 29, 1951. It is one of the surviving downtown theatres. Nicely maintained, the theatre brings you back to a simpler time before the multiplexes.
I don't know too much on the history of the Sayville Theatre, however, at some point it was divided into four screens.

I worked at the Sayville Theatre from September of 1974 to February of 1976. At that time, it was one screen. You could see the screen from the lobby. The auditorium was large and the theatre had a balcony which, I suspect, has been converted for one of the four existing screens. Also, on the back wall of the lobby was a painting of some fish that reminded me of the "Nutcracker Suite" sequence from "Fantasia" with the fish swimming around in a kind of underwater ballet. I remember very well the time we showed a movie called "Brother of the Wind" – a G-Rated film about nature that was heavily promoted on TV the week before we showed it. It was a Saturday matinee. We didn't know what was in store for us. A line started forming down Railroad Avenue and by the time we opened the box office it was bedlam. The cashier was selling tickets so fast that she was throwing the money on the floor. Showtime was 40 minutes late and we had a sold out audience made up entirely of kids. What a nightmare! We also showed a lot of off-beat things. I think UA, who operated the theatre at the time, used it as a kind of dumping ground for the, shall we say, less than mainstream movies. We showed both "Last House On The Left" and "the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in their original releases – before they achieved their infamous reputation.
CBDebill..When you worked there was Dotty MGR.?
Thanks for that MOM would have loved it.
The local newspaper, Suffolk News, ads showed a larger ad for the Sayville when it opened. There was no promo ad or news article. The ad said "new" and boasted ample parking across the street. In time the format went back to the original but the term "new" reappeared possibly indicating an upgrade down the road.
Hey Wally 75. Sorry I didn't reply until now. Yes, Dotty was the manager when I was there. Actually, I went through 4 managers. the first one I remember was an older man whose name I forget. Then there was a guy named Steve. Then a woman named Patty whose mother managed the glorious Bayshore Theatre (now a YMCA). Then came Dotty.
Hi again Wally 75. Clearly you are related to Dotty since you have the same last name. Son? Husband?
Daytime image uploaded.
CBDEBILL…I'm her son, I also worked for UA. Thanks for asking. The last place she managed was Northport be for she retired..
An ad for Heywood-Wakefield seating in the May 28, 1952 issue of The Exhibitor says that the Sayville Theatre was built for Associated Prudential Theatres.

AUSTIN, Texas — The Latest on the Dell Technologies Match Play (all times local):
7:45 p.m.
Cameron Smith of Australia won his second straight match on the 18th hole, this time taking down Hideki Matsuyama.
The second day of Match Play ended with Patrick Cantlay losing the lead for the first time all day on the 17th hole, only to drive near the green and get up-and-down for birdie to beat Yusaku Miyazato.
Smith, Cantlay and Matsuyama all have a chance to emerge from Group 5.
Going into Friday's final day of round robin, 20 players already have been mathematically eliminated, a list that includes defending champion Dustin Johnson, last year's runner-up, Jon Rahm, and Zach Johnson.
Five matches are between players already eliminated.
In Group 10, Kyle Stanley plays Russell Henley and the winner can get into a playoff as long as Paul Casey loses. Casey plays Matt Fitzpatrick, who already has been eliminated.
6:30 p.m.
Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed are not the only undefeated players who will face each other in Match Play.
Justin Thomas wrapped up his second victory by beating Patton Kizzire, and Thomas next faces Francesco Molinari with the right to advance to the weekend at Austin Country Club.
In other matches between undefeated players, Sergio Garcia takes on Xander Schauffele, and Tony Finau plays Alex Noren.
Also at stake on the final day of group play is a potential spot in the Masters. Charles Howell III and Ian Poulter both need to move into the top 50 after this week to earn a spot at Augusta National. They likely will need to at least reach the quarterfinals. First, they have to win their groups.
Both were the worst seed in their groups. Both are 2-0.
Poulter faces Kevin Chappell, while Howell takes on Satoshi Kodaira on Friday.
5 p.m.
Phil Mickelson stayed alive in the Match Play with the biggest comeback of the week at Austin Country Club.
Mickelson already lost his opening match to Charles Howell III. Then, he was 4 down through eight holes against Satoshi Kodaira. Lefty pulled within one hole, fell behind again and was down to his last shot when Kodaira stayed 2 up with three holes to play.
Mickelson won the 16th with a birdie. He won the 17th by saving par from a bunker. And he won the 18th hole when he drove just short of the 18th green, chipped to 7 feet and holed the birdie putt.
Mickelson still needs help on Friday to advance out of group play for the second straight year. He has to win his match against Rafa Cabrera Bello and hope that Howell loses to Kodaira. If that happens, Mickelson and Howell would meet in a sudden-death playoff.
4:15 p.m.
Rory McIlroy still has hope to advance to the weekend in Match Play.
McIlroy had no trouble beating Jhonattan Vegas on Thursday, and it helped when Brian Harman took out Peter Uihlein. That means McIlroy could advance to the weekend if he beats Harman on Friday and Uihlein loses his match. If Uihlein and McIlroy win, they would play each other in a sudden-death playoff. Ties in group standings are decided by a playoff, not head-to-head results.
McIlroy is trying to avoid elimination on Friday for the second straight year.
Meanwhile, Ian Poulter won his second match and move into second place for most matches won (25) in the Match Play. Tiger Woods holds the record with 33 matches.
3 p.m.
No one could beat Dustin Johnson a year ago. Now he can't beat anyone in the Match Play.
The world's No. 1 player was eliminated from his group Thursday when he lost, 4 and 3, to Adam Hadwin of Canada. Johnson lost to Bernd Wiesberger in the opening round.
This is Johnson's last tournament before the Masters.
His elimination paves the way for Justin Thomas to reach No. 1 in the world if he can win the Match Play this week.
2:15 p.m.
Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed improved to 2-0 in the Dell Technologies Match Play and now face off to see who advances to the weekend.
Spieth never trailed in a 4-and-2 victory over Li Haotong. Reed had to rally from a 2-down deficit at the turn to beat Charl Schwartzel. Spieth and Reed have been partners for 11 matches in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. They go head-to-head on Friday to decide who wins the group.
Tony Finau and Alex Noren also improved to 2-0 and play each other in the third round.
Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson both trailed in their matches and faced elimination at Austin Country Club.

What kind of demonic soul walks into a church a murders 26 innocent people, including several children, at point-blank range?
What kind of heartless monster instantly seizes on such senseless tragedy to advance a personal political agenda?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat, for one. Authorities identified the killer as a severely deranged and violent reject illegally in possession of guns, but Ms. Warren somehow accused the Republican Party of perpetrating the atrocity.
"We must end this violence. We must stop these tragedies," she said in a message to the "GOP."
"People are dying while you wait."
Ms. Warren, who is gearing up to run for president, also blamed God for not answering prayers as she sees fit. Talk about sick and deranged. At least you cannot blame her for not seizing an opportunity.
Such is the state of politics in America today that one entire wing of elected politicians is dominated by people who eagerly salivate every time a whacko gunman goes on some senseless rampage.
And it is not just daffy fringe candidates, like Ms. Warren, who think they are God grasping at every opportunity for personal political gain amid suffocating misery.
Former President Barack Obama, whose political legacy is in tatters, sprang to cash in on the tragedy as well.
"May God also grant all of us the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can take to reduce the violence and weaponry in our midst," he said.
Compared to Ms. Warren, Mr. Obama's statement was almost statesmanlike. But it still assumes that preventing this heinous crime is a simple political choice — a political choice that his political opponents refuse to make. Because, as Ms. Warren said, they would rather sit back and watch people die.
What is kind of amazing here is how incredibly stupid two people can be who graduated from some of America's most highly regarded educational institutions. And one of them, with the aid of affirmative action for Native Americans, even managed to teach at one of these esteemed universities.
Despite the loony claims of Ms. Warren and Mr. Obama, the horrific shooting in a Texas church last week does absolutely nothing to prove that somehow the federal government needs more guns laws. In fact, it proves the opposite.
First, the shooting shows how toothless gun laws can be in their ability to prevent this kind of mayhem from a madman hellbent on murder. After all, it was already against the law for this fiend to buy, own or possess any gun based on his convictions for violent crimes against his ex-wife and her child.
Second, gun laws are especially toothless when government functionaries fall down on the job. In this case, it was the U.S. Air Force that failed to ensure the monster was flagged for his violent convictions each time he tried purchasing a weapon.
If politicians, such as Mr. Obama and Ms. Warren, are serious about curbing this kind of violence, they would channel all of their political energies into enforcing current gun laws already on the books and doggedly striving to prevent criminals from illegally getting their hands on guns.
Instead, Mr. Obama used some of the final power of his presidency to pardon more than 100 federal prison inmates who had been charged with gun crimes. These included criminals who had used firearms while dealing drugs or carrying guns despite having been convicted of felonies, according to a Washington Times report in August 2016.
Still others pardoned by Mr. Obama were caught lying to gun dealers or carrying weapons with the registration numbers filed off — suggesting an even deeper level of gun crime.
This sort of disdain for existing federal gun laws suggests that Ms. Warren placed responsibility on the wrong politicians when she blamed Republicans for the Texas church massacre.

September 25, 1880
Carbonear Items – The Rev. Mr. Saunderson, Church of England Minister, passed through here yesterday en route for Random. The Rev. gentleman has just arrived from England, and is to take up his residence at Random Sound
October 8, 1881
On Friday, Sept. 30 – writes our Random correspondent – the schooner Llewellyn, left St. John's for home. She had her usual crew and some passengers. All went on well till they reached the north side of Trinity Bay when, unfortunately, they ran on the Shag Rock, near Ireland's Eye, and in less than ten minutes the schooner was completely under water. The passengers and crew – nine altogether – escaped with their lives and nothing more. The night was very dark and a stiff breeze blowing. The schooner was hired by William Cooper & Sons, of North West Arm, Random Island, who lost their winter's fit out, which they had just bought. Perhaps the saddest part of the affair is in connection with the Rev. James Lumsden, Methodist Minister, who had only arrived from England by the last home boat, and was on his way to the Random Mission. He lost everything he had, and barely escaped without either a hat or boot. He is now left nearly destitute of clothing. To him the loss is considerable, not only with regard to clothing; for he had a splendid collection of books, many of them being presents from friends when leaving home. He had also a number of other presents. Few upon the commencement of their missionary career in Newfoundland have met with such a disheartening incident. The unfortunate affair has elicited the unmistakable sympathy of the people. Mrs. Toope and others in Ireland's Eye treated the shipwrecked men with great consideration, and did their utmost to assist them in reaching their homes. The schooner was insured, but the poor man who owned her has lost heavily, as he had a large quantity of fishing gear on board at the time.
November 3, 1881
The Schooner "Annie" Badly Damaged.
On Tuesday night last the fore-and-aft schooner Annie, owned by Mr. George Shaw of Southwest Arm, Random, was badly damaged by a collision. It seems that while coming out of Trinity Bay, on her way to this port, she was ran into by a schooner bound in, supposed to belong to Hants Harbor. The Annie lost her jibboom and was cut down to the covering boards forward of the fore chains. No lights were shown by either craft.

Benson, late of Random Sound, Trinity Bay, fisherman, deceased, in and to all that parcel of LAND, situated at Random Sound, held under Grant from the Grown.

SUPREME COURT. Eli Martin vs. The Railway Company.
This is a suit for the recovery of the value of 1,500 sleepers, at 25 cents, each, cut for and tendered to the defendant Company. Mr. McNeily, Q.C., presented the case for plaintiff, stating that Martin, acting under a verbal contract with the Company's Agent—Sir A. Shea—cut, trimmed, and placed in the place of deposit in Random Sound, at the disposal of the defendants or their agents, the quantity of sleepers named. As they were not taken by the Company, plaintiff brought them to St. John's in his craft, and made tender of them to the defendants; but the latter could not accept them. Sir A. Shea, the then Agent of the Railway Company, was called by Mr. Kent, and deposed that he had entered into no contract with Eli Martin, of Random Sound, Trinity Bay, to cut one thousand five hundred sleepers. If there were a contract it would be in writing. Cross-examined by Mr. McNeily, Q. G.—He (witness) doesn't think that he ever made representations to the man about supplying sleepers. The tender for the contract (not the tender of sleepers) may have been made in the presence of Sir William Whiteway. We had conversations about sleepers with a great many of such people. I told nobody to go on without a written contract. I made no representations which were subsequently to take the form of a written contract. I don't remember that the contract was torn up in the presence of Sir William Whiteway. I don't think it all likely that I made such representations as would induce the man to cut sleepers. The Chief Justice also in this case took time to consider. In both cases Messrs. McNeily & McNeily for plaintiffs; Mr. Kent, Q.C., for defendant Company.
December 15, 1883
SUPREME COURT. Eli Martin vs. The Railway Co. —♦ (Before the Honorable Sir F. B. T. Cakteb, Chief Justice.)
The evidence of Mr. John Steer, and the closing observations of counsel in the above case, were heard to-day.
Mr. Steer deposed—That Sir A. Shea asserted that he was ready to take the sleepers, and would send to Random for them. But he afterwards advised me to have them left on the bank at Shoal Harbour, and that they would take them from there. He (witness) knows nothing of the contract and wasn't present when it was made. Martin was dissatisfied and spoke about throwing up the contract; but Mr. Shea told him to "Go on, go on." Mr. Shea's statements to him (witness) were in confirmation of the contract, not in rejection of it.
On being cross-examined by Mr. Kent, witness stated :—Mr. Shea never said to me, " Go on, go on, and out the sleepers." They were placed on the bank, and were afterwards brought on to St. John's, but I can't say what time. He (Martin; brought them back to Shoal Harbor after they were rejected. He (Martin) lives in Heart's Ease, Random Island.
To the Court—lt was after the 10th of April, 1882, that I wrote the letter to Eli Martin respecting Mr. Shea's direction, to take the sleepers from their place on the bank; but witness could not fix the time (whether spring or fall) that they were brought on here. He (witness) had no communication with Mr. Shea after the sleepers were brought on. Witness could not positively say whether the sleepers were ever in Shoal Harbor or not. He doesn't remember whether s demand was ever made by himself (witness) on Mr. Shea for the amount.

At St. Mary's Church, by the Rev. E. Botwood, on the 15th inst., Mr. Simeon Seward, to Phoebe, daughter of, Mr. William Baker, all of Random Sound.

Body of a Man Picked up at Cochrane Pond.
Amongst the numerous parties of anglers who went to the distant lakes yesterday were Joseph Snow, a stable-keeper of the Sanitary Department; John Bussey, porter with Mr. G. S. Milligan, and Benjamin Keeping, of the Assembly staff of assistants; and fate directed their steps in a direction which led to their excursion having an important result. In the course of it they came upon the remains of a lost man floating in a gully where they were trouting. Cochrane Pond was their objective point; they reached it at 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning, and, having filled their baskets, employed the afternoon in a search for a "black" species of trout. To obtain them they left the lake mentioned and walked across a dry "reef" to a creek or gully. Their way took them over "Dixie's line" a cutting through the primitive wilderness, which joins the Old Placentia Road. When they cast their lines in this particular gully they perceived an object a little distance from the bank, which one of them supposed to be a dead horse, and another a rock. Moved by curiosity to identify it closely, Snow cast his hook out to it and drew it to the shore. Then they discovered that it was the body of a human being. The head, the hair and the arms were visible; but they didn't lift the remains ashore fearing that they could not do so and keep them intact. The pool was a still one, and was so formed that there was little possibility of the body drifting out of it. They accordingly left it in the position described, the hour being about 4.30 p.m., and soon after left for town, where they arrived at 10.15 p.m. They lodged information at the police office and, after midnight, a posse of constables, bearing a box, left for the fatal spot, to which they were guided by Joseph Snow, and at 11 o'clock this morning they returned and deposited the coffined remains in the morgue.
In the course of the day the body was identified by two men belonging to Portugal Cove, named Miller and Churchill, as being that of John Churchill, of Random, Trinity Bay, but formerly of Portugal Cove. He left his schooner, the Sunflower, John Peddle, master, lying at Messrs. Tessier's wharf, on the 3rd instant, since which time all trace of him was lost till the present.
June 25, 1888
The body of the late John Churchill, who met so untimely an end near Cochrane Pond, was interred in the Methodist Cemetery, western district of this city, at seven o'clock on Saturday evening.

A deer-stalker badly injured
WOUNDED IN BOTH LEGS and Brought Home by His Comrades.
Shoal Harbor, This Afternoon. A serious shooting accident occurred on Tuesday last. Three men from Southwest Arm, Random Sound, went in the country deer hunting. They surrounded a herd of deer on a triangular plain. One of the men named Reuben Martin altered his position unknowingly, and got in line with his opposite comrade's gun. As the deer passed between them the said comrade fired. He missed the deer, but the bullet struck Martin, passing through the flesh of one thigh and grazing the bone and inflicting a severe wound in the other, but did not lodge there. Martin ran about one hundred yards and fell fainting. Shortly afterwards he was discovered by his comrades who brought him home, a distance of forty miles. He is now doing well.

At Hearts Ease and Neighborhood.
Much Suffering at Gooseberry Cove.
From Heart's Ease we get the following:— " Sickness, with more than the average percentage of death, has been prevalent here this season. Measles made their appearance a short time ago, and the little village of Gooseberry Cove alone had five deaths in less than three weeks. Other villages also have suffered sickness and death from the same malady.
Two People Poisoned.
News has been received here from Northern Bight to the effect that, two days ago, a man and his wife died suddenly. The story goes, that the man picked up a dead rabbit, which was poisoned by some unknown person who had it out as bait for a fox. We have no constable here to investigate the matter; but l am sure the Government will send us someone to attend to such things as soon as intelligence of this fatal incident reaches them.
A Penalty necessary.
A severe penalty ought to be inflicted upon all persons guilty of such acts as the one referred to. Rabbits in Random are a great help to the poor people, and hundreds are employed catching them for food. If the use of fox poison be permitted, human life must necessarily suffer.
Game Protection.
The protection of game is another matter to which attention should be drawn. In this direction, there is nothing to prevent persons from killing partridge at their sweet will; and so the destruction goes on, both by guns and slips. I think we are entitled to a justice of the peace, or some other duly authorized persons to prevent such occurrences."

GOOD FARES TAKEN ♦ At Gooseberry Cove ♦ Mr. Shaw Heads the List.
Our Gooseberry Cove (near Heart's Ease) correspondent writes as follows :—" The fishery in this direction continues remarkably good. Traps are now being taken up, but they have secured fine fares. Mr. Daniel Shaw heads the list. He hails for one hundred quintals, as the result of four weeks' work. Both Sickness and Death interfered with him in the spring, and he was unable to prosecute the fishery early. But, all things taken into account, his voyage has been a fairly prosperous one. In the hook and line fishery Mr. Patrick Seward leads, and is closely followed by Captain James Langer. On Saturday last they loaded their boats, doing the best work of the season. Other boats have done exceedingly well. I may here state that the fish thus taken never enjoyed Mr. Neilson's hospitality at the hatchery. We have Five Summer merchants in Fox Harbor, besides Mr. Alcook, who resides there and sells all through the year. One trader arrived there the other day, but, not being able to secure any store, he had to leave. We have two large schooners sailing out of this little harbor to the Labrador. They are commanded by Capt. Richard Seward and Capt. Robert Seward. We wish them much success.

Wednesday, April 20th.
The House opened, at four o'clock. Dr. Tait gave notice that he would, on to-morrow, ask leave to introduce a bill to amend the Public Health Act of 1880. Mr. Webber presented a petition from James Drover and others, of Hodge's Cove, praying for a sum of money to erect a bridge across Hodge's Cove Brook. Petitioners pointed out that the bridge was badly needed by them as they could not cross the river except by means of a boat which was not available at all times, and it was over a mile to go around by land. The bridge would prove a great benefit to the people of the locality, by enabling them to carry on their business with more despatch, besides being a great convenience to the clergymen of different denominations who visited the locality, and he hoped that, with the aid of his hon. colleagues, he would be able to meet the wishes of petitioners; also, a petition from D. Peddle and others, of Hodge's Cove, on the subject of a road.

Near Heart'ss Ease.
By Upsetting of a Mail Skiff
Names of the Victims.
Our Heart's Ease correspondent, writing us under date of June 29th, [1892] says:—" It is my sorrowful duty to-day to acquaint you with a very sad accident which occurred here on Friday last, 24th instant [June 1892] three persons named, respectively, Jasper Yoe, aged 52 years; William Benson, 15, and Ann Baker, 25, were the victims. The packet skiff of Northern Bight left that place on the above-mentioned date. The destination of the boat was Fox Harbor, but she bad to call at several places on the way down, to land the mails. At 10 o'clock p.m., when entering the mouth of Heart's Ease, the skiff was upset.
William Martin and his brother, while returning from the fishing ground, saw the skiff bottom up, pulled alongside, and righted it. Then, to their surprise, they found two dead bodies—one of them, poor Yoe, tangled in the fore-sheet, the other, the woman, in the bottom of the skiff. Young Benson's body has not yet been recovered. The mails were in a bad condition, streaming with water. I cannot say whether any of the letters or papers were lost."

Matters In Trinity Bay—Steam Tug Versus an Old Black Punt—No Toryism Wanted.
From Shoal Harbor to Trinity is a distance of fifty miles which, travelled twice a week, to and from, equals 200 miles. Last year, under the Whiteway Government, the staunch little steam-boat Dart was on the route, commanded by Captain Edmund Seward, and did good and satisfactory work for the public. During last summer this boat conveyed more than 300 passengers besides quantities of freight.
Note the contrast under the Goodridge-Morine faction! At this season of the year, when the traffic on Trinity Bay, in both the passenger and freight lines, is of considerable magnitude and importance, is it being performed by three or four men in a steamer? NO, but in an old black punt.
Retrogression with a vengeance!
Captain Seward informs us that about three weeks ago, eleven passengers in one trip and five in the next, from one place alone, could not be accommodated in this punt, and were left, to "paddle their own canoe" as best they could. Captain Seward, than whom there is not a man in Newfoundland who understands the navigation of Trinity Bay better, and who has performed the services for twelve years, when he found there was no chance to procure a steamer for the mail service on Trinity Bay, made application for his schooner to be received; but the gallant captain was informed that a punt, the ordinary "old black punt," should perform the mail and passenger service on Trinity Bay this year. Whereupon he tendered for this punt and, although several dollars per trip below the man who got the job, his tender was refused, simply because Seward was a Whitewayite and the present incumbent, Milley, a Tory. Thus, then, Toryism versus Whiteway and Progress accounts for an old black punt performing the mail and passenger service on Trinity Bay today, instead of a tidy little steamboat with good accommodation, as furnished by the Whiteway Government.
Captain Seward called at our office to inform us that the people of Trinity District are heartily sick of, and disgusted at, the meanness, fraud and deception that is being practised by the Tory usurpers. All the electors of that old premier district want, is a chance—the ballot box—to show the kind of Government they want, the men they want, and what they intend before long to have, too.

Mr. William Stoyles Loses Pretty Well All His Earthly Possessions — Letter from Rev. James Smith —
An Appeal for Help. Editor Evening Telegram. Dear Sir,—On the morning of Tuesday, 30th ult. [April 1895], between the hours of three and five, nearly all the earthly possessions of Mr. William Stoyles of this place, were destroyed by fire. Mr. Stoyles's eldest son arose in the early morning and made on a fire in the kitchen stove, to prepare to go into the country; but, finding the weather unfavourable, again retired. Mrs. Stoyles remained up an hour later, but saw No Signs of Fire When She Retired. Nothing was known of any danger until Mr. Stoyles heard his son leap from his bed, but making no alarm. The father rushed upstairs and found the roof and ceiling wrapped in flame. He then screamed to his children to save themselves, which they did just as they came from their beds. One of the daughters, however, sustained considerable injury on the back from falling fire. The sleeping apartment of Mr. Stoyles being on the ground floor, he managed to save his bed, but no bedding. How the fire originated is not known, but probably from the heat of the stove pipe where it passed through the roof. His is indeed a severe loss, as it means the utter destruction of the accumulations of a life-time of hard and persistent toil, and is aggravated by the fact that he has for some time been suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs, and is now in precarious health. The loss includes: house in which the family were living, with all the household goods, clothing, etc., a new house close by, which was nearly ready for occupancy, and in which were stored sails and running gear of his fishing craft (all new last summer – nets, rope, lines, and also a new punt which Mr. Stoyles had built himself during the past winter by desperate effort. This is an eminently worthy case for the thoughtful consideration of any persons who may be able to alleviate, in any degree, distress so great. Mr. Stoyles has been a man of perseverance and industry seldom surpassed. This community is small, and the people, for the most part, poor, yet out of their penury are giving in lumber and labor to provide a house for their sorely afflicted fellow-citizen. Our best is but little, and we are compelled to solicit from all friends of the suffering, elsewhere, such help as is utterly beyond our power to furnish. The time is short, and whatever is done must needs he done quickly. Any contributions in cash, clothing, nails, etc., may be left with Mr. A. J. Dove, at Goodfellow & Co.'s. or sent to my address.

A Schooner Sea-Tossed and Doomed to Destruction—Excitement Among the Spectators-Running for the Scene of the Wreck—The Rudder Broken—Caught in the Shifting Sands— Rescue of the Crew.
Never did the inhabitants of this place and those in close proximity to us ever witness such a distressing and pitiful sight as on yesterday morning when they looked off upon the phosphorescent deep and beheld a schooner scudding under bare poles and "sea-tossed" — soon to be ashore, where? No person knew just then. Much anxiety was felt alike by all for the lives of the men on board. Many stood looking sad and awe-stricken, for there seemed little hope of saving them from an ocean grave. After the elapse of a few minutes the might of the terrible wind and sea had brought her nearer to land, and it was obvious to all that at Lance Cove, two miles from here, and midway between Old Perlican and Hant's Harbor, she would find a lodging place.
Soon all the men were seen running for the scene of the wreck, the gusts of wind almost lifting them from off their feet. Will she go to leeward of Western Point? was the question asked one of another. A few more dreaded moments passed and it was seen that she would. Then, signals were given to the men on board, a flag was hoisted on land for their guidance; but quickly she's aground, the rudder is broken in pieces, a few more seas and she is lifted over the rocks and sticks in the shifting sand. In a little while ropes were ready, a boat that did service as a life-boat was launched, into which the men, numbering eight, were brought with some difficulty to land.
The schooner was the Winnie Pierce, 42 tons, three years old, owned by Mr. Joseph Morris of Trinity. The names of the crew are Edward Spurrell, master, Moses Spurrell, Uriah Spurrell, David Spurrell, John Jacobs, William Balsam, Heman Bryant, and Charles Bryant, all inhabitant of Heart's Ease and vicinity of Trinity Bay. They left St. John's on Thursday morning at 2 o'clock, and reached Bay de Verde at 2 p.m. the same day, with double-reefed sails. Owing to the wind blowing strong from N.E., and it being dark, with rain, they anchored there. The master says that at 2 o'clock on Friday morning he was called on deck and, as a wise mariner should, took a searching look at the sky, ordered his crew on deck, and left again with the wind in their favor, blowing lightly from the south. All went well for some time, until when about 12 miles in the bay, they were met by this hurricane from the north, which completely carried away the staysail and mainsail and slit and tattered to pieces the foresail. The wind was still rising, and the white surf, churning and boiling over her, both combined to send forth that uncannv and gruesome sound that betokens a tempest and foretells sorrow on the sea. He then took the wheel and gave the mandate for each man to look out for himself. He confessed that there was but little hope, and told them so. The schooner became unmanageable at times; once she pitched over so far as to be on her "beam-end," and there was fear that she would not be righted.
The wonder to many is how she escaped the rocks and shoals of Salvage Point (of which there are many), the terror of navigators. Often the wrathful-looking billows threatened to swallow her up in their gaping jaws, and the crew expected the worst every moment. But one brave man, in the person of Mr. Chas. Bryant, like Paul, did his best to stimulate them with courage and bade them to "be of good cheer," saying he was prepared for whatever awaited them. No doubt, he often repeated the sailor's beautiful litany: "O Christ, whose voice the waters heard, and hushed their raging at Thy word; who walkedst on the foaming deep, and calm amidst its rage didst sleep: Oh hear us when we cry to Thee, for we're in peril on the sea." Horace said that the man who first ventured on the sea must have had a heart bound with oak and triple-brass. The heart of this good man is not bound with either; yet it never failed him.
Much sympathy is felt for him, as he has lost considerably, and for William Balsam, a poor man, with a family of nine children, who had a winter's supply of food, with other necessaries on board, a little of it being saved, but it is next to good for nothing. Also much sympathy is felt for the master and his brothers, whose loss has been great. They are now hospitably entertained by Messrs. John Brownson, Jas. Strong and others, until the sea becomes smooth, when they will be carried to their respective homes, and I feel sure they will never forget this experience, and their hearts will ever give thanks and praise to "Him who walked the waves of Galilee."

Extensive Repairs to be done to the old "Jane Ainsley" – The old vessel Jane Ainsley, owned by Mr. Levi Frost, Harbor Grace, goes to Northern Bight, Trinity Bay, for a thorough overhauling and extensive repairs. There will be a lot of employment given on her. This vessel is one of the very few of the old scaling fleet. In 1873, when commanded by Capt. John Kennedy, of Crocker's Cove, she brought in Capt. George Hartery and his crew of the large brig John B. Campbell, owned by Mr. W. J. S. Donnelly, Harbor Grace, which was abandoned south of Cape Spear, during a great storm on Sheelah's night.

New Schooner Dandy. Built by Stephen Smith for Patrick Walsh. There is now on the harbor a substantial schooner which will measure about thirty-two tons. She was built the past winter at Hodge's Cove, Random Sound, T. B., and launched there two weeks ago. Stephen Smith built her for Patrick Walsh of Fermuse, dealing at Goodridge's. The vessel is creditable to her builder, and may she be a boon to Walsh. In evidence of the solidity of the craft it has been stated that there were used in her construction:—1,100 treenails, 850 weight of galvanized nails and 33 rods of iron, used for bolls.

SHIPPING DISASTER. Loss of the Schooner "Avalanche."
The schooner Avalanche, belonging to James Frost, of Random, Trinity Bay, was lost near the "Bulls" Cape Saint Mary's, on Thursday last; the master and crew of six men saving themselves in the boat. The disaster occurred a half mile from the shore, and so suddenly, in the heavy north-east gale, that the crew had no time to save anything, escaping only in the clothing they wore. They had been engaged in the herring fishery of Sound Island and were returning when tin; accident occurred.

People of Random Incensed Against the Government.
Editor Evening Telegram.
Dear Sir,—Please allow me a small space in your paper to tell the public of our grievances hero. A sum of $900 was granted by the Tory Government last fall to build a road from Northern Bight to the Railway. Mr. Norman Frost was given control of the money and had the appointment of the walking bosses'. The special grant was sent to Stephen Smith, John Vey and Norman Frost, and as the latter had power to appoint the bosses, you may be sure he did justice to the family of Frosts. His own brothers— James and Levi were appointed walking bosses, and two of his nephews also got special jobs, Eleven bosses were appointed to spend $500. The road does not appear to be of much benefit, to the public, but of great benefit to the Frosts, as it goes directly to their mill. The people of Random are very much obliged to the Tory Government for the way they are treating them. It looks as if there were no people there but the Frosts. We all know, of course, that when Winter reigns frosts generally come to the front. Otherwise a Frost would not be made a mail carrier, another Frost Chairman of the Road Board, another Frost Postmaster, and Nehemiah Frost a J.P. For these reasons, when the Tory Party come to Random again to look for support from the people, they will get a regular freezing out. Instead of calling this place, the Government, now they are changing the names of places, should call it Frosts' Bits, with the accent on the last word.
Yours truly, LIBERAL. Northern Bight. Dec. 12th, 1898.

Everything You Need To Know About PlanetSide 2's Beta
The PlanetSide 2 beta approaches. If you gaze off into the distance, you can see it lumbering our direction – largely because the more-massively-multiplayer-than-every-other-massively-multiplayer shooter looks to be bigger than Earth. SOE's officially rolling out the red carpet in the form of a conveniently organized what-you-need-to-know list, and – as it turns out – it translates roughly to "a lot of things." Let us slip into our most comfortable sifting gloves and have a go at it after the break.
First up, when's it kicking off? Well, there's still no official date for you to fantasize about, but an external tech test is slated for any second now, and not long after that, the games will begin. SOE explained:
"Our external testing will be kicking off sometime this week (to be totally clear, I mean the week of July 9th – July 15th) with the technical test that we've been talking a lot about. This test will let us make sure the game runs across a variety of hardware configurations and the people invited will be hand picked based on the requirements in our hardware matrix. We're currently internally evaluating the build we expect to be used for this test and those players who have been selected will be receiving invites as soon as we're ready."
So that takes care of when, but how about who? Initially, PlanetSide 1 vets will be first in line. However, SOE notes that "we're not going to be opening the floodgates by inviting all of the thousands of PlanetSide veterans on day 1, but you are still the highest priority to get invites as we expand the testing circle out." After that, priority beta keys – ala those handed out in a recent PC Gamer competition – will be your golden ticket into SOE's magical murder factory, with basic keys from devs or E3 unlocking shortly after.
Also, in case you had any doubts, this isn't a glorified demo. It's an honest-to-goodness bug-squashing beta, so expect a few hiccups along the way.
"Beta testing is a critically important part of our development cycle on this project, we may be asking you to only play on tanks for a play session, or only play aircraft. We are doing true beta testing, not just a game demo and we implore those of you who are invited to understand and respect that. Things will break, the server will be unavailable sometimes, we will cancel scheduled tests when we find something that breaks before the test starts. All of this will help us make a better final game."
Which is good news, seeing as these things are incredibly valuable tools that have, in recent years, gotten chewed up and spat out by the marketing spin cycle. I'd be lying, however, if I said my motivations for wanting in were entirely altruistic. Say what you will about the industry's glut of shooters, but PlanetSide 2 looks totally bonkers. Sure, the central action I'm performing is about as sophisticated as swinging from monkey bars, but I don't mind so much seeing as I'll be on the biggest playground ever.

ORLANDO, FL - May 5, 2016 - Four new studies surrounding the effects of mango consumption suggest this superfruit has the potential to help combat adverse effects associated with high fat diets and obesity (animal study), as well inhibit growth of fat cells (anti-lipogenic properties in an in-vivo study), slow advancement of breast cancer tumors (animal study), as well as improve regularity and decrease inflammation associated with constipation (human subject study). The research was presented at the 2016 Experimental Biology conference in San Diego.
"While more research is needed, especially in humans, there is a growing body of studies that suggest mango consumption may contribute to some protective effects in relation to obesity, certain cancers, gut health, and inflammation," said Leonardo Ortega, Director of Research at the National Mango Board.
* Nutrition science researcher, Babajide Ojo at Oklahoma State University, was selected by the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) as one of five finalists to present his research at the 2016 ASN Young Minority Investigator Oral Competition.
