AUSTIN, Texas (CNN)-
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, was indicted Friday on felony charges of coercion of a public servant and abuse of his official capacity.
The two counts against Perry, a Republican, stem from his threat to veto funding for a public integrity unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless she resigned, the special prosecutor in the case, Michael McCrum, said.
The public integrity unit investigates public corruption on a statewide basis.
CNN affiliate KVUE reported that Perry will have to report to the Travis County Jail in the capital of Austin to be booked, fingerprinted and have his photo made for a mugshot.
McCrum said at a news conference that he would discuss that process with Perry's lawyers next week.
Perry can continue to serve as governor while under indictment, KVUE reported.
His attorneys could seek to have the charges thrown out, a motion that would delay the case at the very least.
The charges come with Perry ramping up his political activity as he weighs whether to launch a second bid for the White House. He is scheduled to travel to New Hampshire and South Carolina in coming weeks.
According to McCrum, the indictment alleges that the circumstances around Perry's veto threat amounted to a misuse of state money earmarked by the Legislature to fund the public integrity unit in Travis County run by Lehmberg.
The second charge alleges that he improperly used the veto threat to get her to resign following her arrest on a drunk driving charge. She stayed in office.
"I'm ready to go forward (in) my task as district attorney. In this case, the grand jury has spoken and I'm going forward to carry out the duties that have been bestowed upon me," McCrum said.
"I feel confident about the charges that have been filed," he added.
Mary Anne Wiley, general counsel for Perry's office, said the "veto in question was made in accordance" with the authority "afforded to every governor" under the state's constitution.
"We will continue to aggressively defend the governor's lawful and constitutional action, and believe we will ultimately prevail," Wiley said in a statement.
Political opponents of Perry, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, urged him to resign.
"Governor Rick Perry has brought dishonor to his office, his family and the state of Texas," the Texas Democratic Party said in a statement. "We call on Governor Perry to immediately step down from office. Texans deserve real leadership and this is unbecoming of our governor."

What is Veterans Day and why is it celebrated?
Celebrated on the 11 of November every year, Veterans Day is a public holiday in the US and a day dedicated to honoring all the military people who have served or are currently serving in the army. Veterans Day in 2018 will fall on November 11 which is a Sunday. In Canada, November 11 is marked at Remembrance Day which is like Memorial Day.
Veterans Day was actually called 'Armistice Day' since 1919 and observed the agreement signing that put the World War I to an end on November 11, 1918, at sharp 11:00 am. In 1954, Armistice Day changed to Veterans Day.
In most Commonwealth countries as well as the UK and Europe a 2- minute silence is observed on the day at 11:00 am every year. Huge parades are held every year in the country with New York being the biggest host. Poppy is also a national symbol for both Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
The concept of Veterans Day was actually put forward by Raymond Weeks. He implied that the day be celebrated in honor of the living military personnel as well.
When is Veterans Day 2018, 2019, 2020?
The following are the days that November 11 has fallen or will fall in the coming future:
|Veterans Day
|November 11, Saturday
|November 11, Sunday
|November 11, Monday
|November 11, Wednesday
In 2018, Veterans Day will be observed on the 12th of November which is a Monday, since the day falls on a Sunday.

The history of Veterans Day
Veterans Day was actually known as 'Armistice Day' since President Woodrow Wilson recognized the day on November 11, 1919, after the 'Treaty of Versailles' was signed and the World War I came to an end. In 1954, Armistice Day was officially made into Veterans Day by President Dwight D Eisenhower.
The Congress changed the day of the celebration to the fourth Monday in October in 1968, but President Gerald Ford changed it back to its original 11 November in 1975 due to its significance in the history of the United States.
In World War II and the Civil War, the Veterans played a considerable role, and their services did not go unnoticed when the 83rd US Congress revised the act of 1938 and changed the word Armistice to Veterans.
This day was actually not celebrated for all veterans just the ones who fought and helped end the World War. Only after the suggestion made by Raymond Weeks, were all the Veterans added to the list.
The Arlington National Cemetery in the US has graves of unidentified soldiers from wars buried each year.
Veterans Day Vs Memorial Day
Many confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. Veterans Day is a day celebrated to honor all the citizens who serve in the military or have served in the military and are alive. Memorial Day is a day celebrated for all the military personnel who died in battle or in service of the military.
Poppy, the symbol of Veteran's Day
The Red Poppy flower is a famous symbol of both Memorial Day as well as Veterans Day to remember all the dead veterans who sacrificed their lives since 1921.
It was inspired by a poem written during the war known as 'In Flanders Fields' and touched many hearts. The flower is used not only in the US but also UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
White poppies symbolize peace and are in honor of both military and civilian casualties. The purple poppy flowers are in remembrance of the animals that died during wars.
Traditions of Veterans Day
- A wreath-laying ceremony takes place in Arlington National Cemetery at the 'Tomb of the unknown soldiers'
- National parades are held throughout the country
- A 2- minute silence at sharp 11 am on every Veterans Day
- The national flag is flown at its highest
- The graves of the dead veterans are visited
Facts related to Veterans Day
- Veterans Day is a Federal Holiday. If it falls on Saturday, the day is observed on Friday, and if it falls on a Sunday it is celebrated on Monday
- The US alone is home to more than 21 million veterans out of which 2 million are women
- The US veterans have served and played significant roles in about 12 major Wars
- From the total of 44 Presidents of the United States of America, 26 have served as veterans in wars
- Veterans Day was firstly known as Armistice Day
- The most massive Veterans Day parade is held in New York City
- World War was officially over on 11th November 1919 at 11 am
- Raymond Weeks is the one who suggested that all veterans both dead and alive be honored on this day
- The very first Veterans Day parade took place in Alabama in 1947
- Raymond Weeks led the first parade in Alabama and continued to do so for 38 years until his death in 1985

Carpineti Castle is today a monumental ruin that preserves among its walls the memory of historic events of great reach. Its history is long and full of curiosity. You can find all the castle information on the official site, www.castellodicarpineti.it.
Located in the municipality of Carpineti (in the province of Reggio Emilia), the precise date of its construction is unknown, but it is known that it was the property of Countess Matilde of Canossa. The castle was of enormous strategic importance since it overwhelmed the surrounding area and, being fortified, was practically impenetrable.
Here Pope Gregory VII took refuge after the famous meeting with Emperor Henry IV at Canossa. Historically, we are in the period of the clash between papacy and empire. After the death of Matilde, the castle passed from family to family: among the most well-known owners certainly worth mentioning Domenico Amorotto, famous 16th century brigand and adventurer, who owned the castle for ten years.
The castle continued to go hand in hand until the second half of the last century when it was bought in 1978 by the Province of Reggio Emilia. The main building was now a ruin, also because it had been damaged by the Germans during World War II because it was believed to be a partisan hideaway.
After some fundamental restorations, the castle is now accessible to visitors. In particular, the tower of the doorman, whose peak is reachable and from which you can enjoy a view of the surrounding area, absolutely breathtaking. The importance of the castle in the community is also underlined by the use of its premises for various activities and events.
Around the castle there was also a small hamlet of which there are only a few murals today. Of course, we must remember the Church of St. Andrew, consecrated in 1077 and still celebrated religious functions.
A truly original and spectacular way to enjoy the castle and the surrounding landscape is to make a hot air balloon ride. This activity is available throughout the year and, because of its particular nature, is a type of excursion that has been named "Castelli in aria". In short, the castle is undoubtedly a privileged place to visit, rich in a complex and ancient history, but at the same time alive. In addition, it is embedded in a territory whose natural beauty increases its timeless charm.

Last week, we asked you to put your questions on the disruptive affect of technology on businesses to Mark Spelman, Global Managing Director of Accenture. Here are his responses.
1. Md Rafsan Ahmedfrom Facebook asks: Will the technology industry boom for an unlimited time or are bottlenecks on the way? Do big companies need to have the psychological threshold to face the consequences or to work on the implications at hand?
The technology industry tends to evolve in waves. The interesting development today is the convergence of existing technologies that are creating new possibilities: sat nav-based apps on our phones for instance, or machine-to-machine innovations. We tend to see incremental development and then occasional leaps forward as new applications and latent demand find each other.
Companies need to adopt a new mindset, one whereby they can respond swiftly to the increasing pace of technological developments while also introducing new business models to suit different market opportunities as they arise. They must be willing to embrace the technologies that are threatening to disrupt their market. By moving swiftly, they are more likely to master those technologies and spot new market opportunities that arise from them.
2. Marissa Drouillard from Facebook asks: The question isn't will leading companies survive in the face of digital technology, but how will the ubiquity of digital technology affect us as a society (positively and negatively).
It is true that this question is also relevant. There will be both negative and positive impacts on society. And these issues were discussed at Davos. We see in areas such as data privacy that new policy approaches are being developed to respond to the concerns of citizens and consumers. It is crucial to have an open debate about the consequences of new technologies. The World Economic Forum and its partners are clearly committed to such a public discourse. This is a debate that must involve both the public and private sectors, policy-makers and other stakeholders representing consumer interests.
3. Jakob Rutqvist from Facebook asks: What will the new era of digital technologies mean for job creation? Are we entering an era of jobless growth? If so, what needs to be done about it?
At Davos there was much discussion about inequality, youth unemployment and the impact of technologies on lower-level roles as well as middle-manager roles. On the other hand, new technologies tend to create jobs in new services. Machine-to-machine technology clearly cuts out the middleman and automates tasks, for instance, but we are also seeing demand for analytic skills outstripping supply as vast volumes of data are generated by machine-to-machine. Many of those jobs are highly skilled, perhaps more so than those hat are lost. Policy-makers need to understand that entirely new skill sets are required in the digital age and more effort needs to be made to improve the skills of existing workforces.
4. Ulrich Weihler from Facebook asks: There were already several innovative approaches to change the market structure in favour of SMEs before digitalization. But maybe leading companies applied them better, due to greater knowledge. Maybe the same now. Are there arguments for this position?
In the past decade we have seen start-ups, including tech start-ups, dominate the digital landscape. Application developers – Square, Spotify, Twitter – seemingly came from nowhere and stole the show. We now feel that large companies are beginning to embrace these technologies and neutralize the threat that they have been facing from disruptive companies. Larger companies have vast volumes of data and insight about their large customer bases. They have enormously varied skills. They are already well established in multiple markets. True, they will have to become more agile and more willing to embrace change. But we believe the next decade will see big companies become truly digital businesses.
5. Frank Woodward from Facebook asks: As the years go by, companies implement automation to streamline processes and procedures. How can they balance the implementation of cost-effective technologies without affecting the workforce?
They need to ensure that the skills of their workforce are developed to take on the new roles that will be created as a result of new technologies. In many cases, those roles will actually be higher-value roles than the ones they replace. We will also see a change to the distribution of roles up and down value chains as digital technologies change processes, supply chains, as well as products and services themselves. And so companies will have to work with their partners to ensure that the displacement and change of roles throughout the value chains can be managed in a way that balances the benefits to business and to workforces.
6. Adam Borowski from Facebook asks: Aren't we heading down the slippery slope by allowing the omnipresence of technology to take over our lives? What is the level of cooperation between governments and the leading technology companies?
There will certainly be issues with the emergence of ubiquitous smart and digital technologies. But I am optimistic. We tend to prejudge the use of technologies. We were told ten years ago with the arrival of the mobile Internet that we would all be checking stockprices on the go or having the fridge automatically re-order milk for us. Those applications would have been oppressive for most of us. And they didn't happen. Why? Because there was no demand. The applications that have had success are more consumer-riven. Power is increasingly in the hands of consumers and companies are having to be far more attentive and responsive to consumer needs.

All political parties and policies deserve to be given close scrutiny, and critiqued as required. Some political policies have titles as strident, and meaningless, as headlines in the tabloid news. What lies behind them needs to be teased out. In doing this a balanced and informed approach is essential. One item in particular in Wednesday's Press showed little enthusiasm for the latter part of this approach.
In the Perspective section of the Press (page A19), there is a piece prominently headed Stinging criticism of Labour's generous Christchurch offer. In it the writer looks dismissively at Labour's proposals to intervene in the property market and make land available at "affordable" prices. He is similarly dismissive of the proposal to intervene in the insurance industry. The overall supposition is that the policy is broadly interventionist, would exploit almost war-like powers, likely to become messy if Labour were given the chance to implement it, and likely to annoy those unaffected by the earthquakes.
While the article is in the nature of a comment, rather than insightful analysis and perspective, that is no excuse for inadequacy. The arguments put forward in discussing or dismissing the proposals demonstrate no understanding of either the past or the present.
The Past
Nothing in Labour's Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Plan is unprecedented in New Zealand. Perhaps it is now unknown that New Zealand (and the Labour Party) has a rich, if not always glorious, history of government participation in the areas of land, housing and insurance. Much of the intervention of the past has been in the face of strong political and vested-interest opposition, and yet has worked when the chance was available.
Government support for, and provision of, affordable land and housing has been a policy platform for a number of political parties since the 19th century. Affordable land and housing for servicemen was a significant factor in the rural and urban development of New Zealand. Land was balloted by the government for those who returned from wars. Not everyone was successful, but a scarce resource was distributed as fairly as could be done. Those who preferred to settle in urban areas after WWII had cheap mortgages made available via the government. From the 1930s many families who could afford neither home ownership nor private rentals had housing provided to them by the government.
All of these were interventionist policies based on enabling principles. Various government agencies came into being for these purposes: the Department of Housing Construction (building state houses along with Fletcher Construction), State Advances Corporation (low cost housing finance and management of state housing), Housing Corporation of New Zealand.
As for insurance – New Zealand has had government insurance companies since the second half of the 19th century – State Insurance, now since sold, and EQC which remains. The reasons for which government insurance was set up in the 19th century exist again today, and the Victorians were no less market oriented then than the National party is now.
Omitting the experiences and successes of the past makes the article seem plausible. However, in light of what has been achieved in the past, it may well be that what is envisaged is achievable. True, the policy does not spell out the detail but, as is the nature of all initial announcements of political policy, they are designed to paint the big picture. An attempt at a balanced article would have traversed this.
The Present
As far as the present is concerned, the writer says that intervention would not be popular with developers faced with losing an opportunity for profit. Quite understandable, but is it really a big issue? Why? The article continues:
"Labour leader Phil Gough talked about 'price gouging' and 'profiteering' among developers, but new sections are usually more expensive simply because they are bigger and, compared with quake-hit suburbs, safer."
The claim that the sections now available are comparatively safer doesn't stand up to scrutiny: safety isn't an issue, stability is. Either way, not a single section is being sold with any guarantee that it is "earthquake safe", so how can the price reflect this?
The article
The article is headed in large bold type "Stinging criticism …" as if this were the case. Despite this headline the article makes no mention of stinging criticism, let alone where it came from. As an aside, it is the biggest headline in the whole of that first section of the Press and so perhaps intended to be significant? Pity the content wasn't as substantial as the headline that accompanied it. Despite the shortcomings of this article, there was an example of much poorer political journalism in Wednesday's Press.
The editorial on page A18 called for more substance, and labelled Labour's policy as "a fine-sounding wishlist". Many of us would agree with these sentiments. However it is an odd observation to make, as all political parties turn out policies that are fine-sounding wishlists. The editor, after stating the Labour party has performed a useful service in putting forward ideas for discussion, then decrees that "This is largely driven by the party's poor showing in opinion polls".
It is both cynical and sordid to make the accusation that the policy exists primarily to boost popularity, rather than the result of any compassion or desire to help those who have suffered from the earthquakes and their aftermath. This is particularly so when aimed at a party that has a better history than any other of trying to help those in need. Unless evidence can be produced, such accusations should not be made. This tabloid-style approach to a complex and emotional subject ought to be left alone.
It is to be hoped this is not what our fare will be from now until the election.

Moora Moora is a co-operative residential community made up of a diverse group of about 50 adults and 20 children. We deliberately choose to live together in six small hamlets located on a beautiful co-operatively owned 245 hectare property situated at an altitude of 700 metres on Mt Toolebewong.
The community is situated near the township of Healesville, approximately 67 km, about 90 minutes by car, to the east of the city of Melbourne. Melbourne is Australia's second largest city and capital of the state of Victoria. It is located in the south eastern corner of continental Australia.
Climate Emergency Declaration
Moora Moora is private property. It is open to visitors only on our open days which are held on the first Sunday of every month at 1.30pm, except on days of Total Fire Ban.
On these days you can join a tour of the property, meet some of the members and residents of the community and discuss Moora Moora and how we work together to manage our community and property. Please meet at the Octagon (the brown timber building visible from the front gate) at 1.30pm sharp, or tours may have already left.
Moora Moora is a participant in the Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF) scheme. International and Australian members of the Wwoof scheme are welcome to stay at Moora Moora as guest workers.
You will have an opportunity to work with members and residents of the community, to experience and observe our lifestyle, and to enjoy our Australian bush environment.
The Learning Centre at Moora Moora hosts courses and workshops relevant to sustainable community living. Courses are run by members of Moora Moora community or by members of the public who hire our facilities.
The Learning Centre welcomes people interested in presenting courses broadly relevant to sustainability and community living. In the past we have hosted courses on yoga and qi gong, sacred ecology and spirituality, living in community and eco-village design. The most popular courses currently hosted are on stand-alone solar power systems for electricians.

To what extent is a surveyor, who provides a mortgage valuation, obliged to check on the property's precise acreage? This question was recently considered by Lord Glennie in Phimister v DM Hall LLP [2012] CSOH 169.
The Claimant was a fisherman who, when not at sea, was a property developer. In 2007 he found a possible property ("Property") comprising "traditional dwelling house and steading" plus diary, garages, outhouses and coal sheds, which according to the estate agents' particulars as located on a "1.12acre plot with superb views". After the Claimant's offer of £240,000 was accepted by the vendors, he applied for a loan and the Defendant was instructed to provide a mortgage valuation.
The report, which stated the Defendant's understanding that the site was 1.12 acres, valued the Property at £230,000. This figure excluded any consideration of development value. Having purchased the Property the Claimant discovered that it was only 0.66 acre with the result that he could not develop it in the way he'd anticipated.
The Claimant argued that the Defendant should have checked the size of the Property's plot and that the smaller area severely restricted his opportunity to develop the site. This argument was never going to get anywhere given the judge's findings that (1) the Defendant was instructed to carry out a mortgage valuation of residential property, (2) he was never told about the Claimant's development plans, (3) the Property's main value lay in the buildings and not in the amount of the land involved and (4) it would not have been obvious to a surveyor that the site was substantially smaller than 1.12 acres.
Lord Glennie's decision illustrates the sort of factors that determine the scope of the surveyor's duty. It also emphasises the point that a surveyor is not automatically negligent because his valuation contains inaccurate details. A claimant must still establish breach of a material duty.

Uttar Pradesh is the land where cultures have evolved and religions emerge. For both Indians and non-Indians, Uttar Pradesh tourism has several exciting destinations. It is also known as heartland of India with Himalayan foothills in the north and the Gangetic plain in the center.
Situated on the west bank of the River Ganga, Kashi or Varanasi is a holy city that has a spiritual legacy dates back to more than 3000 years. To describe the charm of Varanasi, I have only two words, colourful and spiritual.
People come here for spiritual enlightenment and to attain salvation. Renamed after the Varuna and Asi Rivers, it shines with millions of lights, candles, floating diyas and large Jyotis. The magical Indian destination will captivate you with its Ghats, endless lines of Sadhus and Saints, aartis and the floating of earthern lamps over the water of Ganga in the evening.
Varanasi is well connected and accessible to major Indian cities and tourist spots through air, train and bus. You will find daily domestic flights to and from Varanasi to several cities in India. The official language spoken here is Hindi. However, you will find many people who speak English language.
One of the best things to do in Varanasi is exploring the Ghats. The most charming sight is the Ghats along the River Ganga. To have unrivalled experience, take a walk at sunset hours along the Ghats. The city has almost a hundred Ghats which are bathing Ghats, praying Ghats and cremation sites for Hindus from all over the world. Dashashwamedh Ghat, Assi Ghat, Mata Anandamai Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Munshi Ghat, Raj Ghat, Scindia Ghat, Tulsi Ghat, Panchganga Ghat, Kedar Ghat, Rana Mahal Ghat, Causatthi Ghat, Lalita Ghat, Ahilyabai Ghat, Scindia Ghat, Darbhanga Ghat, Harishchandra Ghat, Shivala Ghat, Manmandir Ghat are highly auspicious places to explore that are known for their spiritual ambience. Having boat ride from one Ghat to another is the major attraction here. The Evening Aarti Ceremony which is performed every evening for 45 minutes at Ganges River can be viewed from the Dasawamedh Ghat. Chants, aromas of flowers and incense create a heavenly blessing.
Without including Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the list of places to visit in Varanasi would be incomplete. It is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and has also been referred to in the Holy Scriptures. You will experience the divine vibes and vintage charm of the whole city in this temple. Without visiting this holy place, your trip to Varanasi will be outright incomplete. The temple once had a golden spire and domes and so it was also called the Golden Temple.
Just a few kilometers away from Varanasi, there is a sleepy village of Singhpur's Sarnath which is a Buddhist centre of religion. This is the place where Gautama Buddha first came and taught about the concept of Dharma. The Dhamek Stupa, Ashoka Pillar, Chaukhandi Stupa and Dharmarajika Stupa are major attractions. Emperor Ashoka erected a number of stupas and monuments for spreading Buddhism. The crumbling stupas with manuscripts and fascinating inscriptions teach a lot of Indian history, development of Buddhism and provide alternative theories such as Aliens and how they visited the earth.
Situated in the Vindhya Range at a distance of about 45 odd km from Varanasi, Chunar fort is located in the Mirzapur district. Lord Vishnu had taken his first step in his Vaman incarnation in the dynasty of Great king Bali and so the fort was called Charanadri initially. However, the name Chunar came after the kingdom is captured by Babar followed by Shershah Suri, Humayun, Akbar, Aurangzeb and finally the Britishers in the year 1772AD.
Inside the fort there is 28 pillars reflecting purely the Hindu style of architecture, Engraving on the mehrab (arch) which is said to have been filled with gold earlier, Deep Bawali (water storage tank) in the fort which still has the water and Samadhi of Bharthari, the brother of King Vikramaditya behind the fort are the major attractions. If you would like to go for a day trek, then the Forest in the Vindhya ranges along the Ganges is an ideal site.
Situated some distance away from Dasaswamedh Ghat, the Man Mandir Observatory is a famous tourist spot that is made up of astronomical instruments that calculate time, prepare the lunar and solar calendar and study the movements, distances and angles of the myriad planets, stars and other heavenly bodies.
Situated in the Lalita Ghat, the temple is famous for its exquisite architecture and wood work. This shrine is also called Nepali Temple as it was built by King of Nepal. The major attraction of the place is the intricate wood carving.
Inside the Benaras Hindu University founded by Sanskrit scholar, Madan Mohan Malviya, there is Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum that has rich collection of Indian paintings that date back to between 11th century and 20th century and are about 12000 in number. The sculpture of marriage of Shiva and Parvati and the 11th century statue of Vishnu and the Gandhara sculpture are the major attractions here.

"It's ordered by 90 per cent of tourists who visit the restaurant," said the restaurant's manager, Alfred Johansson, 55.
The whale dish, ordered an average of 200 times a week, offers a taste and texture similar to beef.
Gun Sjostrom, 49, a Swedish customer who tried whale meat for the first time, said it "was delicious and tasted like deer."

Neal Potts was honored for 40 years of service by the Morgan's Point City Council. Mayor Dwayne Gossett thanked Potts for his years of service and named the week of August 14 Neal Potts Week in Morgan's Point Resort.
City crews have been installing a backflow system for the water towers. The system creates a buffer between the City of Temple and MPR's water lines. There was a valve missing or never installed between the two systems that needed to be installed. The council approved the purchase and installation of the valve at a cost of $4,904.
They approved the MPR Economic Develop Corporations budget for the upcoming physical year. They are working on the purchase of park playground equipment and a committee has been formed. Pam Terry will head the committee. Director of the EDC Tom Edwards encouraged the council to look into grants for parks through the Texas Department of Wildlife. The City of Belton has been using these grants for years to drastically improve their community.
The council approved an upcoming election for the use of sales taxes for road improvements. Every four years residents must vote to use ¼ of one percent of sales taxes collected for the use of road improvements. This is not a tax increase.
City Manager David Huseman has accepted another position along the Texas Coast. Huseman was city manager for six years.
"I think he is over qualified for this job. We were lucky to have him. We got things done during his time as City Manager," said Edwards.
During his time as City Manager, Huseman developed multiple major improvement plans. A park master plan was developed. A water plan was developed. Many of the areas of the city were dealing with six inch water lines. During summer months, low water pressure in MPR was the norm. Six inch water lines were installed all over the city after this plan was developed.
The Community Center received a major overhaul. Brush burner dumpsters were purchases. These dumpsters can be delivered to residents homes at no charge. In the past, the city hired out the burning of the brush.
The MPR Marina was greatly improved. New sidewalks, lighting and new environmentally safe floatation added. There is a brush fire truck on the way. The chasse was found at a governmental storage site unused. The state of the art Coast Guard fire boat was found the same way and it was brought to MPR.
There are four active subdivisions building in MPR at the moment after years of slow growth. Automated water meters were installed across the city reducing payroll or allowing employees to work on other projects. A new financial commuter system was installed. A street sign machine was purchased to get MPR in compliance with the state requirements. MPR's signs were old and outdated.
A storm water plan was developed. Areas have been identified for possible future improvements in water drainage. Two class A Fire Trucks were purchased. A pumper truck is on the way.
Perhaps to put it all into perspective on how drastically things have changed for MPR, the city was purchasing used police vehicles before he came to MPR. Today they purchase new vehicles.

... or culinary history or design history. The New York Public Library has done you a great favor; they have uploaded THOUSANDS of menus:
The menu collection originated through the energetic efforts of Miss Frank E. Buttolph (1850-1924), a somewhat mysterious and passionate figure, whose mission in life was to collect menus... Her principal method of acquisition was to write to every restaurant she could think of, soliciting menus. When letters failed, she often marched into a restaurant and pleaded her case in person. She also placed advertisements in trade publications like The Caterer and The Hotel Gazette, but just as often, published news of her collection prompted outright contributions of specimens from around the world. Three times between 1904 and 1909, The New York Times wrote about her and the collection, noting once that "she frankly avers that she does not care two pins for the food lists on her menus, but their historic interest means everything." Miss Buttolph added to the collection of more than 25,000 menus until her death in 1924. The collection has continued to grow through additional gifts of graphic, gastronomic, topical or sociological interest, especially but not exclusively New York-related.As the embedded image above illustrates, the menus of the nineteenth century were colorful and interesting; most of them appear to have been menus for events, rather than for the general public, probably since "dining out" was still not much in vogue.

Politics 101: How to Get Involved as a Young Woman
Here are three basic steps to getting involved in politics.
Emily Spangler is a 15-year-old high school student and one of Rewire's youth voices.
If someone would have told me five years ago that I'd be co-directing a website with a state representative, connecting with progressive women leaders from around the country, and going to conferences to speak on young women in politics in 2014, I would have started laughing hysterically. But this is my life today.
Some people are born into politics, but not me. I never grew up sitting around the television with my family watching poll numbers roll in, going door-to-door during hot summer days, or making hundreds of phone calls to help elect candidates. I had to create my own path.
I've decided to share how I got here to support my fellow young ladies who want to change the world, but might have no idea where to start. It can seem especially daunting for young women, in particular, since we have fewer role models. For example, women hold less than one in five congressional seats.
Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power.
The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox.
Follow my example
by taking these three steps to start getting involved in politics. They are networking, "staying in the game," and the most important step: helping other women.
Here is my story: I started developing a passion for helping others when I was 4 years old. I believed that the best way to help others was through public service. I'm a go-big-or-go-home kind of gal, so I set my eyes on running for the most important office in our country: president of the United States. I believe my passion came from my generation being molded by events that happened during my childhood, including 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. People needed to step up to the plate to address deep issues underlying those events, and I wanted to be a part of that. I started learning more about leaders of our country, how our government was run, and the history of our country. I was especially fascinated by presidents who fought against injustice. Eventually, my passion for history developed into a love for politics.
But, liking things and being able to do things are not the same. There was a problem with my ambitious goal to help move this country forward: I had no idea how.
I eventually came to the conclusion that the best place to begin is to start networking. Now, this isn't just meeting politicians at events and sucking up to them. Making connections is so much bigger than that. It's about meeting candidates, politicians, and activists who care about the same issues you do, working alongside with them, and forming a relationship based on similar passions. Go out and meet candidates or politicians who care about immigration reform, or email your member of Congress about a new education bill that was introduced. These simple acts make creating connections easier.
Also, don't overlook social media as a networking tool. For example, Missouri state Rep. Stacey Newman and I met on Twitter, later connected on Facebook, and now we are close friends who co-direct a website together called ProgressWomen.com, which promotes progressive politics and feminism,
while empowering women to get involved. Fun fact about the relationship between Rep. Newman and me: We've only met once in person. Yes, you read that right. Everything we've accomplished together has happened through social media platforms, our cell phones, and the Internet.
Networking is only the first step, and it must go beyond the first time you meet someone. What you must do is "stay in the game" and put your connections to use. First, a note about business cards. They are basically screaming "stay in touch with me" from the high mountain tops of the Himalayas. OK, not really. But, if someone gives you their card, you should save the contact information and stay in contact. Once in a while, text or email the person to keep up to date with what they're doing. Are they in session in the state legislature? Are they introducing any legislation? Also, can you be of help in any way?
Staying in the game also means getting out there. There are an endless number of events you can attend. Go the next step by offering to volunteer and intern for campaigns or elected officials you care about. (These are ways to make even more connections.) And don't just get out there in person; get out there online. From tweeting to posting on Facebook, share your experiences. Share what you're learning and how it affects your life, as well as the lives of others around you. Staying in the game and not giving up on the goals you set for yourself
are important. You have a voice, and you can make it heard.
Finally, give back. Once I realized that I was starting to meet a lot of people, I quickly realized that other women were helping
me get to where I am today. Shouldn't I do the same and give back? To do my part, I decided to create a private networking group specifically aimed at connecting a couple hundred women I have met online who are involved in politics. Not only that, I occasionally suggest other young women write articles for ProgressWomen.com on issues dealing with progressive politics, feminism, women political candidates, and more. Just because I'm 15 years old doesn't mean I'm exempt from giving back. As a young woman willing to change the world, I should assist other young women in changing the world too.
Basically, there is a cycle to getting involved in politics: When in doubt about something, ask another trusted woman for advice. She'll help you, just like my mentor has done for me. I, in turn, then give back to other women who come to me for advice. And I hope they will do the same.
Getting involved in politics is something you can do. Anything is possible when you set your mind to it. Ladies, you've got this. Email that state senator you've been admiring for years, go help that campaign you started thinking about last summer, and help another young woman who looks to you for advice. There is nothing to be afraid of. I need you, we need you, and this country needs you.

Chinese president's visit boosts ties with Saudi Arabia, GCC
Chinese President Hu Jintao continued his
state visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday with a tour of a plant
constructed by a Chinese company and a scheduled meeting with the
chief of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
In the morning, Hu paid a visit to a plant
of the Riyadh Cement Company, which was constructed by China's
Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd.
Hu was warmly greeted by workers and staff
members of the company as he arrived at the plant in Al
Mazahimiyah, about 75 km southwest of Riyadh.
The president was briefed on the
operations of the plant, and toured its central controlling
Later, the Chinese leader visited the King
Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, where a group of Chinese
scientists are working on a project studying the gene of dates.
"The project is a symbol of cooperation

an official in Hu's delegation, said.
Following Tuesday's talks with Saudi
Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz, President Hu's scheduled
meeting with GCC Secretary General Abdul Rahman Al-Attiyah will

journey of friendship and cooperation " with Saudi Arabia and four
African countries — Mali, Senegal, Tanzania and Mauritius.
Hours after his arrival, Hu had talks with
King Abdullah on a wide range of issues. They exchanged views on
deepening the strategic friendly ties between China and Saudi
Arabia, and how to address the global financial crisis.

Hu also suggested greater scope and scale

on important international and regional issues.
As Saudi Arabia is an important member of
the GCC, Hu, in the talks, called for stronger cooperation between
China and the six-member group.
The king agreed to boost ties with China
and said his country would like to seek stronger cooperation in
trade, economic and other fields with China.

The GCC, established in 1981 and
consisting of six Arab countries — Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,

role in maintaining peace and stability in the Gulf region,

The Stupidest Film Ever Written
|Your take?
8 comments:
In all fairness, the Moorish companion was introduced in the TV series Robin of Sherwood, but your point remains.ReplyDelete
Yep, this movie really did suck. I haven't watched the original in years, but I used to LOVE it. I don't know what the heck they were aiming for with this movie. With all the acting talent, you would really expect a better movie. I'm pretty sure that is what lured me...ReplyDelete
I remember precisely one good thing about that shipwreck of a film (the portrayal of Medusa, which recalls the later myth where she is cursed by Athena), and so much that was complete suck. Note to movie makers: A sudden left turn away from the one line of character building you have repeated a dozen times throughout the film? That is not a character arc!ReplyDelete
Then there's the merely inexplicable - like the pair of monster hunters that insist on joining Perseus & co. who seemed to have wandered in from another draft, or perhaps another movie altogether.
I'm not even going to go in to the deus ex machinations needed for the happy ending. It's just moronic (and tacked-on.)
I was never a fan of the first movie except for Ray Harryhausen critters. The only thing I liked in the most recent movie is when Bubo the mechanical owl was thrown in the trash barrel. I cannot tell you how much I hated that little guy in the first movie. And I don't know if its just my age, but the first medusa was cool as hell, best part of the movie, the whole set and action sequence. The recent movie with medusa was very forgettable.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 11, 2010 at 9:17 AM
I read an article this Spring, I think, breaking down how it got a massive re-write and bad edit in postproduction. The original sounded pretty decent, actually. Ah! Found the article:ReplyDelete
I went to see it with low expectations and found the movie has everything a D&D adventure has. And I liked it. Maybe if I weren't into D&D I wouldn't have. ;-)ReplyDelete
Yes, it is stupid. But there are vastly stupider movies out there. And I watched it as the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, with my father and a couple of beers and cheese-fries, so I had a good time when I watched, even if it made no damned sense.ReplyDelete
@ Shimrod: Mmm...after reading the article, it still looks like crap to me. Whenever you turn Io into some sort of kick-ass action hero with a vorpal bola, the film goes in the "garbage" pile. Oh, and the addition of "wooden" sorcerers (that is SO "Greek myth!"), don't forget them!ReplyDelete
@ Gabriel: You play a very different type of D&D from me, I guess.
@ Grumpy: I've watched terrible films, campy films, films with poor acting and directing, and films I just plain didn't like...but there's very few films I've walked out of the theater when watching. In fact, I can only think of one: Highlander 2. If I had seen Clash of the Titans in the theater, I would have walked out. It's one thing to take liberties with a story, or history, or established genre/mythos...but this was a complete and silly travesty.

I have been experimenting a bit this week with bite sized baby snacks that are easy to take out with us on our travels, are on the healthy side and of course that Freddie approves of. These little courgette and carrot muffins were devoured by every member of the family and Freddie just loved them so I thought I would share the recipe before the weekend.
(ps they were probably the easiest thing I have ever made)
Carrot, courgette and cheese muffins
Makes 12
225g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
45g butter
115g mature cheddar cheese, grated
1 carrot, grated
1 small courgette, grated
½ tsp dried mixed herbs
60ml milk
• Preheat the oven to 200'C /gas mark 6 and grease a baking tray.
• Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add the cheese, carrot, courgette and mixed herbs. Mix in well then add the milk and mix together to form a sticky dough.
• Knead the dough very lightly on a floured surface then roll into 12 scone shapes and place on the baking tray.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and serve.
• These muffins freeze well. If you don't want to freeze them, store in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
