Webster's Dictionary of the English Language, 1828
POW'ER, noun [The Latin has posse, possum, potes, potentia. The primary sense of the verb is to strain, to exert force.]
1. In a philosophical sense, the faculty of doing or performing any thing; the faculty of moving or of producing a change in something; ability or strength. A man raises his hand by his own power or by power moves another body. The exertion of power proceeds from the will, and in strictness, no being destitute of will or intelligence, can exert power power in man is active or speculative. Active power is that which moves the body; speculative power is that by which we see, judge, remember, or in general, by which we think.
Power may exist without exertion. We have power to speak when we are silent.
Power has been distinguished also into active and passive, the power of doing or moving, and the power of receiving impressions or of suffering. In strictness, passive power is an absurdity in terms. To say that gold has a power to be melted, is improper language, yet for want of a more appropriate word, power is often used in a passive sense, and is considered as two-fold; viz.as able to make or able to receive any change.
2. Force; animal strength; as the power of the arm, exerted in lifting, throwing or holding.
3. Force; strength; energy; as the power of the mind, of the imagination, of the fancy. He has not powers of genius adequate to the work.
4. Faculty of the mind, as manifested by a particular mode of operation; as the power of thinking, comparing and judging; the reasoning powers.
5. Ability, natural or moral. We say, a man has the power of doing good; his property gives him the power of relieving the distressed; or he has the power to persuade others to do good; or it is not in his power to pay his debts. The moral power of man is also his power of judging or discerning in moral subjects.
6. In mechanics, that which produces motion or force, or which may be applied to produce it. Thus the inclined plane is called a mechanical power as it produces motion, although this in reality depends on gravity. The wheel and axle, and the lever, are mechanical powers, as they may be applied to produce force. These powers are also called forces, and they are of two kinds, moving power and sustaining power
7. Force. The great power of the screw is of extensive use in compression. The power of steam is immense.
8. That quality in any natural body which produces a change or makes an impression on another body; as the power of medicine; the power of heat; the power of sound.
9. Force; strength; momentum; as the power of the wind, which propels a ship or overturns a building.
10. Influence; that which may move the mind; as the power of arguments or of persuasion.
11. Command; the right of governing, or actual government; dominion; rule, sway; authority. A large portion of Asia is under the power of the Russian emperor. The power of the British monarch is limited by law. The powers of government are legislative, executive, judicial, and ministerial.
Power is no blessing in itself, but when it is employed to protect the innocent.
Under this sense may be comprehended civil, political, ecclesiastical, and military power
12. A sovereign, whether emperor, king or governing prince or the legislature of a state; as the powers of Europe; the great powers; the smaller powers. In this sense, the state or nation governed seems to be included in the word power Great Britain is a great naval power
13. One invested with authority; a ruler; a civil magistrate. Romans 13:1.
14. Divinity; a celestial or invisible being or agent supposed to have dominion over some part of creation; as celestial powers; the powers of darkness.
15. That which has physical power; an army; a navy; a host; a military force.
Never such a power--
Was levied in the body of a land.
16. Legal authority; warrant; as a power of attorney; an agent invested with ample power The envoy has full powers to negotiate a treaty.
17. In arithmetic and algebra, the product arising from the multiplication of a number or quantity into itself; as, a cube is the third power; the biquadrate is the fourth power
18. In Scripture, right; privilege. John 1:12. 1 Corinthians 9:4.
19. Angels, good or bad. Colossians 1:11. Ephesians 6:10.
20. Violence, force; compulsion. Ezekiel 4:1.
21. Christ is called the power of God, as through him and his gospel, God displays his power and authority in ransoming and saving sinners. 1 Corinthians 1:18.
22. The powers of heaven may denote the celestial luminaries. Matthew 24:30.
23. Satan is said to have the power of death, as he introduced sin, the cause of death, temporal and eternal, and torments men with the feat of death and future misery.
24. In vulgar language, a large quantity; a great number; as a power of good things. [This is, I believe, obsolete, even among our common people.]
Power of attorney, authority given to a person to act for another.
Bouvier's Dictionary of Law, 1856
1. This is either inherent or derivative. The former is the right, ability, or faculty of doing something, without receiving that right, ability, or faculty from another. The people have the power to establish a form of government, or to change one already established. A father has the legal power to chastise his son; a master, his apprentice.
2. Derivative power, which is usually known, by the technical name of power, is an authority by which one person enables another to do an act for him. Powers of this kind were well known to the common law, and were divided into two sorts: naked powers or bare authorities, and powers coupled with an interest. There is a material difference between them. In the case of the former, if it be exceeded in the act done, it is entirely void; in the latter it is good for so much as is within the power, and void for the rest only.
3. Powers derived from, the doctrine of uses may be defined to be an authority, enabling a person, through the medium of the statute of uses, to dispose of an interest, vested either in himself or another person.
4. The New York Revised Statute's define a power to be an authority to do some act in relation to lands, or the creation of estates therein, or of charges thereon, which the owner granting or reserving such power might himself lawfully perform.
5. They are powers of revocation and appointment which are frequently inserted in conveyances which owe their effect to the statute of uses; when executed, the uses originally declared cease, and new uses immediately arise to the persons named in the appointment, to which uses the statute transfers the legal estate and possession.
6. Powers being found to be much more convenient than conditions, were generally introduced into family settlements. Although several of these powers are not usually called powers of revocation, such as powers of jointuring, leasing, and charging settled estates with the payment of money, yet all these are powers of revocation, for they operate as revocations, pro tanto, of the preceding estates. Powers of revocation and appointment may be reserved either to the original owners of the land or to strangers: hence the general division of powers into those which relate to the land, and those which are collateral to it.
7. Powers relating to the land are those given to some person having an interest in the land over which they are to be exercised. These again are subdivided into powers appendant and in gross.
8. A power appendant is where a person has an estate in land, with a power of revocation and appointment, the execution of which falls within the compass of his estate; as, where a tenant for life has a power of making leases in possession.
9. A power in gross is where a person has an estate in the land, with a power of appointment, the execution of which falls outof the compass of his estate, but, notwithstanding, is annexed in privity to it, and takes effect in the appointee, out of an interest vested in the appointer; for instance, where a tenant for life has a power of creating an estate, to commence after the determination of his own, such as to settle a jointure on his wife, or to create a term of years to commence after his death, these are called powers in gross, because the estate of the person to whom they are given, will not be affected by the execution of them.
10. Powers collateral, are those which are given to mere strangers, who have no interest in the laud: powers of sale and exchange given to trustees in a marriage settlement are of this kind. Vide, generally, Powell on Powers, assim; Sugden on Powers, passim; Cruise, Dig. tit. 32, ch. 13; Vin. Ab. h. t.; C om. Dig. Poiar; 1 Supp. to Ves. jr. 40, 92, 201, 307; 2 Id. 166, 200; 1 Vern. by Raithby, 406; 3 Stark. Ev. 1199; 4 Kent, Com. 309; 2 Lilly's Ab. 339; Whart. Dig. h. t. See 1 Story, Eq. Jur. §169, as to the execution of a power, and when equity will supply the defect of execution.
11. This classification of powers is admitted to be important only with reference to the ability of the donee to suspend, extinguish or merge the power. The general rule is that a power shall not be exercised in derogation of a prior grant by the appointer. But this whole division of powers has been condemned' as too artificial and arbitrary.
12. Powell divides powers into general and particular. powers. General powers are those to be exercised in favor of any person whom the appointer chooses. Particular powers are those which are to be exercised in favor of specific objects. 4 Kent, Com. 311, Vide, Bouv. Inst. Index, h. t.; Mediate powers; Primary powers.

QUOTESCommerce Power
Congress has the power to regulate the channels and instrumentalities of interstate commerce. Channels refers to the highways, waterways, and air traffic of the country. Instrumentalities refers to cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes. Congress also has power to regulate activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
Plenary power
Complete power over a particular area with no limitations. This term is often used to describe the Commerce Power of Congress. Under the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) Congress is granted full power over interstate commerce. The Court has found that states are not able to pass laws affecting interstate commerce without the permission of Congress.
Legislative power
The power of congress to make laws. Additionally, as an incident to that power, congress can conduct hearings and investigations, consider those matters that form the basis on which Congress may enact legislation, and perform other duties that are "necessary and proper" to the enacting legislation pursuant to Article I, Section I.
Admiralty and Maritime Power
In the case Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U.S. 205 (1917), the Supreme Court determined that the Necessary and Proper Clause grants to Congress complete and plenary power to fix and determine the maritime laws throughout the country.
Police powers
The fundamental right of a government to make all necessary laws. In the United States, state police power comes from the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which gives states the rights and powers "not delegated to the United States." States are thus granted the power to establish and enforce laws protecting the welfare, safety, and health of the public.
Enforcement Power
1. In general, the power of a government entity to enforce the law through investigations, arrests, and the ability to sue suspects on behalf of the public.
2. In constitutional law, the name for a provision that expressly authorizes Congress to enforce a constitutional amendment through appropriate legislation.
Ultra vires
Latin, meaning "beyond the powers." Describes actions taken by government bodies or corporations that exceed the scope of power given to them by laws or corporate charters. When referring to the acts of government bodies (e.g., legislatures), a constitution is most often the measuring stick of the proper scope of power.
Emergency Powers
The Constitution does not expressly grant the President additional war powers or other powers in times of national emergency. However, many scholars think that the Framers implied these powers because the structural design of the Executive Branch enables it to act faster than the Legislative Branch. Because the Constitution remains silent on the issue, the courts cannot grant the Executive Branch these powers when it tries to wield them. The courts will only recognize a right of the Executive Branch to use emergency powers if Congress has granted such powers to the President.
A claim of emergency powers was at the center of President Abraham Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus without Congressional approval in 1861. Lincoln claimed that the rebellion created an emergency that permitted him the extraordinary power of unilaterally suspending the writ. With Chief Justice Roger Taney sitting as judge, the Federal District Court of Maryland struck down the suspension in Ex Parte Merryman, although Lincoln ignored the order. 17 F. Cas. 144 (1861).
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt similarly invoked emergency powers when he issued Executive Order 9066 directing that all Japanese Americans residing on the West Coast be placed into internment camps during World War II. Because Congress had already declared war, the U.S. Supreme Court found Congress to have recognized an ongoing emergency. Consequently, the President by issuing the order had acted in accordance with Congress's expressed intent, which was to respond to the emergency of war. For this reason, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Executive Order 9066 in Korematsu v. United States as a constitutional exercise of Presidential Commander in Chief and emergency powers. 323 U.S. 214 (1944).
Harry Truman declared the use of emergency powers when he seized private steel mills that failed to produce steel because of a labor strike in 1952. With the Korean War ongoing, Truman asserted that he could not wage war successfully if the economy failed to provide him with the material resources necessary to keep the troops well-equipped. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, refused to buy the argument in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, voting 6-3 that neither Commander in Chief powers nor any claimed emergency powers gave the President the authority to unilaterally seize private property without Congressional legislation. 343 U.S. 579.
There are hundreds of quotes including the word "power" HERE.
Here are some:
George Orwell:
Alexander Solzhenitsyn:The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.
Lord Acton:You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power - he's FREE again.
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi:Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Henry David Thoreau:In order to get power and retain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not connected with goodness but with qualities that are the opposite of goodness, such as pride, cunning and cruelty.
John Locke:There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.
George Mason:The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
Thomas Paine:Considering the natural lust for power so inherent in man, I fear the thirst of power will prevail to oppress the people.
A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either.
Sir Francis Bacon:The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance.
Paul Volcker:It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty, or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man's self. Knowledge is power.
It is a sobering fact that the prominence of central banks in this century has coincided with a general tendency towards more inflation, not less. f the overriding objective is price stability, we did better with the nineteenth-century gold standard and passive central banks, with currency boards, or even with 'free banking.' The truly unique power of a central bank, after all, is the power to create money, and ultimately the power to create is the power to destroy.
Milton Friedman:
The power to determine the quantity of money... is too important, too pervasive, to be exercised by a few people, however public-spirited, if there is any feasible alternative. There is no need for such arbitrary power... Any system which gives so much power and so much discretion to a few men, [so] that mistakes - excusable or not - can have such far reaching effects, is a bad system. It is a bad system to believers in freedom just because it gives a few men such power without any effective check by the body politic - this is the key political argument against an independent central bank
Albert Jay Nock:
Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: You get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you.
Many now believe that with the rise of the totalitarian State the world has entered upon a new era of barbarism. It has not. The totalitarian State is only the State; the kind of thing it does is only what the State has always done with unfailing regularity, if it had the power to do it, wherever and whenever its own aggrandizement made that kind of thing expedient. Give any State like power hereafter, and put it in like circumstances, and it will do precisely the same kind of thing. The State will unfailingly aggrandize itself, if only it has the power, first at the expense of its own citizens, and then at the expense of anyone else in sight. It has always done so, and always will.
The superficial distinctions of Fascism, Bolshevism, Hitlerism, are the concern of journalists and publicists; the serious student sees in them only one root-idea of a complete conversion of social power into State power.
Noah Webster:
But what is tyranny? Or how can a free people be deprived of their liberties? Tyranny is the exercise of some power over a man, which is not warranted by law, or necessary for the public safety. A people can never be deprived of their liberties, while they retain in their own hands, a power sufficient to any other power in the state.
Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.
Justice William O. Douglas:
Those in power need checks and restraints lest they come to identify the common good for their own tastes and desires, and their continuation in office as essential to the preservation of the nation.
The struggle is always between the individual and his sacred right to express himself and…the power structure that seeks conformity, suppression and obedience.
Alexis de Tocqueville:
If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them.
[W]henever the Legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the Property of the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary Power, they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are thereupon absolved from any farther Obedience, and are left to the common Refuge, which God hath provided for all Men, against Force and Violence. Whensoever therefore the Legislative shall transgress this fundamental Rule of Society; and either by Ambition, Fear, Folly or Corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other an Absolute Power over the Lives, Liberties, and Estates of the People; By this breach of Trust they forfeit the Power, the People had put into their hands, for quite contrary ends, and it devolves to the people, who have a Right to resume their original Liberty.
Justice Charles Evans Hughes:
Emergency does not create power. Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or reserved. The Constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. Its grants of power to the federal government and its limitations of the power of the States were determined in the light of emergency, and they are not altered by emergency.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.:
But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas.
James Madison:
The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
All men having power ought to be mistrusted.
Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression. In our Governments the real power lies in the majority of the community, and the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from acts of Government contrary to the sense of its constituents, but from acts in which the Government is the mere instrument of the major number of the Constituents.
Eric Hoffer:
It is doubtful if the oppressed ever fight for freedom. They fight for pride and power -- power to oppress others. The oppressed want above all to imitate their oppressors; they want to retaliate.
People unfit for freedom - who cannot do much with it - are hungry for power. The desire for freedom is an attribute of a "have" type of self. It says: leave me alone and I shall grow, learn, and realize my capacities. The desire for power is basically an attribute of a "have not" type of self.
Absolute power turns its possessors not into a God but an anti-God. For God turned clay into men, while the absolute despot turns men into clay.
Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power.
Robert F. Kennedy:
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use -- of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Lysander Spooner:
No government knows any limits to its power except the endurance of the people.
John Adams:
The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.
Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
Alexander Hamilton:
In the general course of human nature, A power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will.
Rick Gaber:
Always remember the difference between economic power and political power: You can refuse to hire someone's services or buy his products in the private sector and go somewhere else instead. In the public sector, though, if you refuse to accept a politician's or bureaucrat's product or services you go to jail. Ultimately, after all, all regulations are observed and all taxes are paid at gunpoint. I believe those few who can't even see that have been short-sighted sheep, and I suggest they learn how to think conceptually, develop consistency and grasp principles soon.
Phillip J. Birmingham:
Whatever power you give to the good cops, goes to the bad ones, too. Never forget that.
Benjamin Franklin:
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.
The tyranny of the many would be when one body takes over the rights of others, and then exercises its power to change the laws in its favor.
Liberty is not and cannot be anything but the power of doing what we will.
Thomas Jefferson:
An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.
The constitutions of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property and freedom of the press.
Angelica Grimke:
The doctrine of blind obedience and unqualified submission to any human power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, is the doctrine of despotism, and ought to have no place among Republicans and Christians.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, State of the Union Address, January 6, 1945
In the future world the misuse of power, as implied in the term "power politics," must not be a controlling factor in international relations. That is the heart of the principles to which we have subscribed. We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics any more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national politics. But in a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, State of the Union Address, January 3, 1936
But the challenge faced by this Congress is more menacing than merely a return to the past--bad as that would be. Our resplendent economic autocracy does not want to return to that individualism of which they prate, even though the advantages under that system went to the ruthless and the strong. They realize that in thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a people's Government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people. Give them their way and they will take the course of every autocracy of the past--power for themselves, enslavement for the public.

Fiona Campbell-Smith, 56, from Oban, had to fit her meandering moggy, Parsley, with his own GPS!
As I called my kittens in for bed, one was nowhere to be found.
'Parsley!' I called. Nothing.
It's not like him, I worried. I'd got my kittens – Parsley, Purdie and Misha – within a month of each other, back in the autumn of 2014. Parsley, then 8 months old, was a friendly, nosy, ginger Maine Coon who liked napping on my bed at night. I had a sleepless night, and Parsley still wasn't home the following morning.
Panicking now, I called the vet's and reported him missing. An hour later, they called me back.
'We've got him,' the vet told me. Phew!
But Parsley had been found 2½ miles from home at a visitor viewpoint. A lady had spotted him looking lost and whipped him to the vet's.
'Thank you so much!' I gasped. Only, not long afterwards, he disappeared again! Despairing, I put a collar on him that had my name, address and phone number on it. Over the next few weeks, Parsley was found wandering all over town!
I got calls from shopkeepers, bar staff, hotel workers…
I knew Parsley would find his way home…eventually. But whenever he wandered into the busy town centre, I worried that he'd get hurt. I'd race over to pick him up. He's such a cool cat, he'd strut over, feline fine! Then sit calmly in the car as I drove him home.
In the end, I ordered a GPS tracker online, fixed it to his collar. His very own cat-ellite navigation! And one day, after Parsley returned from his travels, I logged in to find out exactly where he'd been.
'No!' I gasped, staring at the lines which were wiggling all round Oban. He'd been everywhere!
Amused, I started a Facebook page for him – mostly to let locals know to watch out for my moggy when he goes meandering. Parsley was soon a local celeb! He'd turn up in pubs, walk into houses, salons, shops, hotels, bars – always making himself at home. He even turned up to a neighbour's party!
One night, he went for last orders at his favourite local. As I couldn't collect him, I had to send a taxi to go and bring him home!
Everybody loves Parsley – he has impeccable manners and never bites or scratches. But he once convinced Purdie and Misha to join his escapades, and they all turned up at my mum's house. Purdie and Misha waited in the garden, while Parsley strode in. Another day, Parsley clocked up over six miles on one of his epic adventures.
'Such a show off!' I laughed. His wanderlust has now led to worldwide fame. Parsley's made the local and national press, has thousands of Facebook fans all over the world. But, thanks to his GPS, I always know where my pussycat is.
Parsley still has the upper paw, mind you, as I only collect him when I'm worried. So, if you're ever in Oban, do look out for Parsley taking his catnaps all over town.
Lapping up all the attention!
Keep up with Parsley's antics on Facebook.

Out of Words
Sometimes there are no words… and other forms of expression are called into action.
We depend on language to make contact, to share experiences. We also turn to language in our struggle to both describe and understand the world we live in. But sometimes there are no words… and other forms of expression are called upon. The works by Carlos Amorales, Erkan Özgen and Carla Zaccagnini, gather around silences, at the point where we sense the limits of language and the urge to tell a story differently begins.
Carlos Amorales presents Life in the folds, an installation centred in an undecipherable alphabet; an alphabet with which to question how we produce meaning, and a language that carries the remarkable potential to decide anew how to communicate with each other. In the installation this alphabet is used to tell the story of an immigrant family that arrives to a hostile village.
In Erkan Özgen's video Wonderland, Muhammed, a 13-year old boy, tells us with his body and a multitude of gestures, what cannot be expressed in words, the story of the traumatic experiences he had in the war and in escaping the war.
Carla Zaccagnini's installation Elements of Beauty: A tea set is never only a tea set reanimates the stories of the attacks on works of art made in the struggle for women suffrage in 1913. The destruction of images was implemented when the frustration for not being heard in their pledge for justice reached a limit. The work explores the power of gestures and images over words, and of words over images.
These works suggest there are other forms of communicating that produce horizons of meaning which our ordinary language cannot even anticipate. They propose that what is grasped with the imagination, is not anything that can be said with sentences. The whole body and being plays a part in the activity of expressing and resonating, for communication is by no means a job for the voice or the written word alone. A gesture is precisely that, a silence that can answer cleanly for our words.

Ten Second Review
This Skoda Kodiaq breaks new ground for its brand and offers a well-priced, high quality alternative for buyers in search of a stylish mid-sized SUV with seven-seat versatility. Thoughtful design, a spacious cabin, efficient running costs and a range of distinctly Skoda 'Simply Clever' features are all among this model's attractions. So, will it win over buyers? Let's put this car to the test in top 2.0 TDI 190PS guise.
Ever since Skoda introduced its compact Yeti Crossover model back in 2009, many have wondered what a full-sized SUV from the Czech brand might be like. Well this is it, the Kodiaq, a contender that in true Skoda style, aims to offer more for less. Need convincing? What if we told you it's styled by the guy who did the Bugatti Veyron, it's tough enough to take on proper off road trails, it can be specified to drive itself in traffic and it's the lightest and therefore the most efficient car in its class. In short, you get the idea: Skoda certainly hasn't gone at this half-heartedly. But how strong a product have they actually created? Time to find out at the wheel of this 2.0 TDI 190PS variant.
Driving Experience
Even in the modern era, big spacious seven-seat SUVs have a reputation for handling with all the dynamic finesse of a Channel ferry. As do big Skodas. It's pleasantly surprising then, to find that the Kodiaq is actually quite an agile thing by class standards, its relatively light weight and rigid chassis delivering decent body control through the turns, though you'd better appreciate that if the steering felt more responsive. Another noticeable trait lies in the way that the freshly developed four-link rear suspension set-up provides a firm-ish quality of ride that's a world away from the soft floaty springing you'd get in the Czech brand's similarly priced Superb Estate. Plus you can improve it with an optional 'DCC' 'Dynamic Chassis Control' adaptive damping package. This works through the settings of the 'Drive Mode Select' system, a package able to alter steering feel, throttle response and gearshift timings. The 4WD set-up, standard on the 2.0 TDI 190PS variant we're trying here, is the usual Volkswagen Group on-demand set-up that cuts in when lack of traction demands it. It's a system that comes with a selectable 'Off Road' mode that focuses all the car's electronic systems for 'off piste' use. That includes the operation of the newly-developed 7-speed DSG auto gearbox that you also have to have on the 190PS diesel model. The performance of this top variant should satisfy most, 62mph from rest occupying 9.1s en route to 129mph.
Design and Build
It turns out that Skoda's sharp, clean-cut design language translates very well into the kind of purposeful premium look required of a modern full-sized SUV. The Kodiaq's just 40mm longer than the Czech brand's Octavia family hatch, yet looks far larger, with striking styling supposed to convey an impression of protection and strength. Behind the wheel, the Kodiaq design team have delivered the classiest Skoda cabin yet made. Getting comfortable is easy and in the instrument binnacle large dials flank a useful central trip computer display. Much of the information this delivers can be more graphically provided by this classy centre-dash infotainment screen, provided in 8-inch form here but offered in 6.5-inch guise with lesser trim levels. Either way, an included Smartlink' system allows you to access the 'Apple CarPlay' or 'Android Auto'/'MirrorLink' systems and if you've a set-up fitted out with the Navigation/wi-fi package, you'll be able to make full use of the clever connectivity functions provided by the Czech brand's freshly developed 'Skoda Connect'app. This second row bench features all the versatility you'd want from this kind of seven-seat SUV, so the backrest reclines for greater comfort on long journeys and the base slides back and forth by up to 180mm. In the third row, you're quickly reminded that this is an SUV, not an MPV, the seats being really only suitable for children. When you're not using them, there's a decently-sized 630-litre boot, extendable to 2,005-litres with 2nd and 3rd rows folded.
Market and Model
Kodiaq pricing starts at around £22,000, but you'll need a £25,000 to £30,000 budget for the 2.0 TDI 150PS diesel engines that most buyers will want. The 2.0 TDI 190PS model we tried comes only in top-spec 'SE L' or 'Edition' trim and is priced between £3,000 and £35,500. With this engine, you have to have a 7-seat format, DSG auto transmission and 4-wheel drive. Even if you stick with 'SE L' spec, you'll get plenty of kit. That means 19-inch wheels, power-folding mirrors, Skoda's 'KESSY' keyless entry system, a powered tailgate and LED technology for the headlamps and tail lamps, with LEDs additionally used in front foglamps that turn with the bends. Inside, 'SE L' variants are marked out by Alcantara-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats and a 'Drive Mode Select' system that allows you to alter throttle response, steering feel and, on DSG auto models, gearshift timings to suit the way you want to drive. Plus at this level, you get a larger 8-inch 'Columbus' centre-dash touchscreen that incorporates navigation and in-car wi-fi. There's also a 'Skoda Connect' media connectivity app that allows you to access a whole range of web-based services that provide information on things like traffic congestion, fuel prices and parking availability, along with weather forecasts, online news, 'Points of Interest' services and access to Google Earth and Google Street View images.
Cost of Ownership
If you've decided on the 2.0 TDI engine, there's no real efficiency downside in choosing it in its most potent 190PS form - that's the Kodiaq we tried. Which means that the readings you get from this DSG automatic flagship variant - 49.6mpg on the combined cycle and 151g/km of CO2 - look decidedly impressive against those of comparable direct rivals like Kia's Sorento and Hyundai's Santa Fe. Fit those two Korean alternatives with an auto gearbox and you'll go around five fewer miles on every gallon and chug out around 25g/km more of CO2. We should also mention residual values, which is an area where Skoda usually performs surprisingly well. The Kodiaq is not going to upset that form, with industry experts predicting that volume 2.0 TDI diesel models should hold on to at least 50% of their original asking prices after the usual three year ownership period. Finally, while it's certainly true that other rivals better the three year 60,000 mile warranty that Skoda provides, you can extend your cover to four or five years by paying extra. Not that you really need to. The brand regularly tops independent consumer satisfaction surveys: according to real people, there are few more satisfying cars to own.

Politics of Monday, 5 November 2012
Source: Economic Tribune
The Electoral Commission (EC) has rejected the nominations of four political parties and one Independent Candidate.
These parties, who failed to properly fill out their nomination forms and were caught by the deadline for the submission of forms, are now crying over the loss they have incurred.
The founder of the Independent Peoples Party (IPP), Kofi Akpaloo, some few days ago vented his spleen on the EC for rejecting his nomination after all the resources he had put into forming and registering his party.
"The EC wants all my resources to go to waste," Akpaloo lamented.
The rejected parties complained that it costs much to form a political party in Ghana. Apart from buying the forms from the EC, a party must travel to all 275 constituencies to get people to endorse their form.
After going through all these processes, parties had to pick nomination forms and pay a fee of GHC 10,000 ($5, 208), for their presidential candidates, something many political parties expressed reservations about.
Some of these political parties had already printed party accouterments that were going to be used for campaigning. The Presidential candidate of the IPP said he has already travelled across the country and everything was in place to start campaigning.
The IPP, along with National Democratic Party (NDP), New Vision Party (NVP), and the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP) all ended up losing their GHC 10,000. Also two political parties, Democratic People's Party (DPP) and the United Renaissance Party, which picked nomination forms, could not submit them before the deadline.
A party like the NDP will be counting their losses in the billboards, flyers and the T-shirts already in town.
Recounting their losses, the leaders of IPP and DPP say they will petition the Electoral Commission to reconsider its decision.
"Afari Gyan was tired and needed some sleep that's why he rejected my nomination. After all the resources I have put into this, I can't be rejected. I'll petition the Electoral Commission," Kofi Akpaloo stated.
Ward Brew said he didn't understand why the EC rejected his nomination after he had presented all the necessary documents. "I'll petition the EC to look into this."
More politicians are going to incur losses if a similar situation occurs at the parliamentary candidates' level.

The game industry's newest conference event, Play by Play, ran last week in Wellington, closing on the weekend with an awards ceremony.
The Overall award was taken by Dry Cactus' bridge-building game Poly Bridge, which also took the Design gong. Poly Bridge creator Patrick Corrieri presented a session about the use of social media to grow a community.
Players can record the last 10 seconds of gameplay and post them as an animated gif to social media sites. Courtesy of this functionality, Poly Bridge achieved a lot of popularity last year on reddit gaming, where people posted their successes and failures.
The serial podium visitor, however, was Christchurch-based Digital Confectioners' Depth (pictured, top), which took three awards: Excellence in Audio, Innovation, plus the Audience Choice award.
Depth (essentially playing Jaws) allows players to be a diver or a shark. Its asymmetric design successfully mitigates the inherent inequality of a man vs shark encounter.
While September's Auckland-hosted NZ Game Developers Conference is focused on game development and production, Play by Play took a broader look at games. Organised by Media Design School's Lucy Morris and Dinosaur Polo Club's Peter and Robert Curry, the conference featured sessions on diversity and play as well as development topics.
The event was accompanied by a week-long exhibition at which the award finalists games were on display and playable, and developers offered workshops for school students.
The winners of the inaugural Play by Play awards were:
Outstanding Overall
supported by the New Zealand Game Developers Association

Excellence in Representation

Jeremiah Wright teaching at Univ. of Chicago
Ed Lasky
The institution which found Barack Obama capable of teaching constitutional law, also finds Rev. Jeremiah Wright classroom-worthy. Maureen Callahan of the New York Post reports on some of what the Rev is teaching at the Chicago Theological Seminary, on the U of C campus:
During a five-day seminar Wright taught last week at the University of Chicago, he was back at it, claiming that whites and Jews are controlling the flow of worldwide information and oppressing blacks in Israel and America."White folk done took this country," Wright said. "You're in their home, and they're gonna let you know it."The course, advertised as focusing on politics and public policy in South Africa and America, was taught in a small, ground-floor room at the Chicago Theological Seminary on the university campus, where Wright's voice echoed out an open window. The class was composed of about 15 to 20 students, mainly older African-American women who would arrive early and giddily linger during lunch breaks and after class, looking for the reverend's attention. (The course cost a little over $1,000 if taken for college credit and $300 if taken without.)The absence of young people was telling: The lectures seemed ossified, relics of a pre-civil-rights America
Contrary to what was said by him and his handlers in 2008, Barack Obama said in 2004 in a Sun-Times interview that he went quite often to hear Wright speak.
These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week — or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant.
Obama also called Wright his mentor, his moral compass, his sounding board on matters of politics. The only "charity" he gave money to before becoming a US Senator. The inspiration for the term "Audacity of Hope"; has his young daughters listening to Wright since they were toddlers.
Wright's anti-Israel, anti-American, and ant-white views were well broadcast in 2008. He later made outright anti-Semitic statements when he accused the "Jews" surrounding Obama from keeping him away from President Obama.
Where was the media then and where is the media now?

STORM clouds have cleared and Perth's temperature has rocketed back above 38C after a morning of thundery showers brought some relief after yesterday's 40C heat.
Just after 2pm, Perth had reached 40.5C with most suburbs baking in stifling 40C heat.
Isolated thunderstorms swept across the metropolitan area early today, mainly in the southern suburbs, but falls have been light.
Dwellingup, 97km south of Perth, recorded 6mm, Mandurah 3mm, Rottnest 2.8mm and Pearce, 45km inland, had 1mm.
The city and Perth Airport registered just 0.2mm.
Thunderstorms south of the city late last night brought spectacular lightning displays around Kwinana down towards Mandurah, but little rain.
Perth sweated through an uncomfortably warm night with the mercury dipping to just 25.2C at 6.34am. For most of the night it was in the mid to high 20Cs.
By 10am today the temperature was back up to a steamy 30C with 46 per cent humidity. By 1pm it had reached 39.8C, easily surpassing the forecast top of 38C. This follows yesterday's scorching 40.1C top.
Pearce, 45km east of the city, has reached 43.2C and 80km north of Perth, Gingin reached 41.9C just before 12.30pm.
Swanbourne, yesterday's hottest metro site, has again hit 40.4C and Perth Airport had reached 41C just before 2pm.
Geraldton is having another scorcher, with the temperature soaring to 42.8C at 10.35am.
How we sweated through the night
Midnight: 27.8C
2am: 26.9C
4am: 28.2C
6am: 26.8C
8am: 26.7
Sweltering 40C day

Help your kids celebrate Canada Day by making a beautiful fireworks themed craft. Using little more than toilet paper tubes, paint, and paper, it's an incredibly fun craft for all ages. You can keep your little ones busy and older ones entertained, while celebrating Canada. You can also use this activity as a way to introduce new concepts or help your children develop their vocabulary, and create a work of art deserving of the centre spot on your fridge.
Assorted toilet paper or paper towel tubes
Bright red paint
White paint
Paper Plates
Black or dark blue paper
Glitter (optional)
Before You Start:
Make a series of slits in each paper tube. If you want the fireworks to be a variety of different shapes and sizes, cut the slits in each roll to be slightly different in width. For smaller fireworks, cut the entire tube in half lengthwise, roll it back in place to be a bit smaller than before, and then tape it to secure. Once you're done cutting slits in each roll, put a pit of pressure on them to fan them out and create a starburst-like shape. This will help them absorb more paint and to leave a better impression on the paper.
Set out a few paper plates and put the red and white paint in them. We opted to include a bit of glitter paint as well, to give the fireworks some additional sparkle. To cut down on the possibility of spills, it's a good idea to have a set of paper plates for each child.
Make Fireworks:
Have your child dip the tube in one paint colour, and then make an impression on the paper.
Use a different tube for each colour, and keep making impressions until your page is filled with bright fireworks lighting up the night sky.
Tips and Tricks:
Don't press the tube too hard on the paper, as it will cause the paint to smudge. Try bouncing it down lightly, letting it rest for a second, and then removing it from the page.
Use the largest sized tube first, and alternate colours until you get down to the smallest. Do this for each firework you want on your page.
Try making fireworks that are solid colours, as well as ones that are both red and white.
Mix up the sizes of fireworks on your page, so that there are small ones, large ones, and everything in between.
Before the paint dries, sprinkle some glitter on the page to make them sparkle even more.
Make It An Educational Activity Too:
In addition to giving your child the instructions, pay attention to what he or she is interested in and comment. For example, if your younger child is interested in dipping the tube in the red paint over and over, comment on the red by saying something like "red like a firetruck!" Or if your older child likes the pattern made by the paint you could mention how "the paint really flew out!" Commenting on your child's interests and activities invite them to continue the conversation.
While completing the craft, use a new word and relate it to your child's experiences. With younger children, you can introduce words and concepts such as 'wet', 'dry', 'dirty', 'clean', and 'sparkle'. For example, if you opt to use glitter you can introduce the word "sparkles" by saying, "this glitter sparkles. Your crown sparkles too, see?" Vocabulary words such as 'celebration', 'ignite', 'spatter', and 'illuminate' can be introduced to your older child. For example, you can teach your child "illuminate" by saying, "on Canada Day, the fireworks illuminate the sky. Can you think of something in our house that illuminates?"

Press Room
Celebrating our 74th and 75th Home Sales
September 2017 – The back to school season was even more exciting this year for two local families who partnered with Habitat for Humanity Choptank to buy homes in Easton. Kristan Green and family moved into a new construction house on Hammond Street in Easton. Green is employed with Wal-Mart in Easton. Over on Port Street, Lakeisha Templeton, who works at Harris Teeter, purchased a rehabbed house as the new home for her family. Both of these houses were completed using durable materials and with additional energy efficiency features so that the finished homes are affordable in both purchase price and in long-term operating costs.
With the sale of these homes, Habitat Choptank has created a total of 75 new home ownership opportunities since concerned community members began organizing around the local need for affordable housing in 1992. That effort continues as six more Habitat homes are in progress now between Dorchester and Talbot Counties. These houses located in Easton, Cambridge, and Hurlock are a mix of new construction and rehab projects.
Habitat home buyers are hardworking people who cannot qualify for conventional financing but who earn enough to assume the responsibilities of home ownership when provided with 'right-size mortgages.' Homes are sold with no profit to Habitat. Each house must serve as the buyer's residence during the life of the mortgage.
Following settlement, each buyer assumes the full responsibilities of home ownership: repaying a mortgage over the next 30-33 years, maintaining the home, and paying home owner's insurance and property taxes. With these responsibilities, also come joy and a sense of accomplishment for Green and Templeton, both first-time home buyers, who have now achieved the dream of home ownership.
In keeping with Habitat tradition, a home dedication celebration was hosted at each home. Both families expressed appreciation to Habitat Choptank volunteers, staff and donors for their support. "I remember being asked at one of the Habitat education workshops what am I most excited about in becoming a home owner," Green said. "I answered space, comfort and stability. Thank you Habitat Choptank for giving my family a brighter and more secure future."
Lowe's Aging in Place
June 2017 – Habitat for Humanity Choptank has been awarded a $40,000 grant from Lowe's to participate in the revitalization of the Historic Pine – High Street area in Cambridge as part of Habitat for Humanity's Neighborhood Revitalization, a nationwide program dedicated to serving more families through community development partnerships. Lowe's awarded $1.75 million in grants to 22 Habitat affiliates across the country to support more than 84 community improvement projects ranging from critical repairs to new home construction. Habitat for Humanity Choptank will use the funds to complete critical exterior home repairs for eligible homeowners in the community. The program will focus on safety and accessibility improvements as well as repairs to correct code violations.
Home Dedication #72 - The Women Build House
April 2017 – The first Saturday in April was filled with sunshine, smiles and support as the Velez family celebrated their new home in
Easton. The 3-bedroom home on Pleasant Alley, also known as the Women Build House, is the 72nd home that Habitat for Humanity Choptank has completed and sold since the nonprofit started in 1992. Velez, an employee with Lintons Managed Services working at the Eastern Shore Hospital Center, helped to build the home alongside mostly women construction volunteers and then purchased the home with an affordable mortgage.
For the Pleasant Alley house, Habitat Choptank's goal was a home built and funded by women. This is the nonprofit's second such project; the first Women Build House was completed in 1998. Women Build is a program of Habitat for Humanity that empowers and engages women in learning construction skills, building homes and positively impacting their community.
Groundbreaking for this home took place during National Women Build Week in May 2016. Since then, a crew of volunteers has been working regularly on Tuesdays under the direction of construction supervisor Rhodana Fields. On Saturdays, group volunteers from area businesses, churches and community groups lent their time to the building process. In addition to working in construction, women volunteers raised over $100,000 to fund the purchase of materials as well as the install of the roof and mechanical systems.
ReStore Presents Big Check
November 2016 – Habitat for Humanity Choptank volunteers, staff and board members celebrated a milestone at their ReStore's sixth anniversary event. A ceremonial check in the amount of $543,985 was revealed representing the cumulative net income the discount home improvement center has generated since it opened in October 2010. Funds raised by the ReStore are invested into Habitat Choptank's mission and affordable home ownership program in Dorchester and Talbot counties.
Celebrating our Volunteers
October 2016 – Local Habitat volunteers, supporters and future home buyers came together for an evening dinner at Trappe United Methodist Church to celebrate Habitat for Humanity Choptank's progress. Over the last fiscal year, the nonprofit home builder screened 236 intakes for its home ownership program, qualified 5 new home buyer candidates, finished 3 new homes for a total of 69homes completed historically, had 8 other homes under construction, and completed 38 weatherization projects through its expanded housing services. These accomplishments were made possible by 506 volunteers who contributed 28,364 hours of service working in construction, helping at the office and tackling special projects, serving on committees and the Board, and volunteering at the ReStore.
Home Sale #69
April 2016 – Family, friends, neighbors and elected officials along with volunteers and donors, gathered on Saturday, April 16th to celebrate the 69th affordable home ownership opportunity created by Habitat Choptank. The house at 312 Salmon Avenue in Easton was a rehab project. It had sat vacant and boarded before Habitat Choptank purchased it in 2015 with plans for both interior and exterior improvements including energy efficiency upgrades.
1880 Bank Makes Lead Gift for Corporate Support
November 2015 – 1880 Bank is increasing its support for affordable home ownership in Dorchester and Talbot
counties through an expanded partnership with Habitat for Humanity Choptank. The bank, which has been investing in self-help housing since Habitat began building in Dorchester County 10 years ago, has generously stepped forward with the lead contribution for Habitat's new corporate giving program.
"1880 Bank takes pride in a tradition of serving our neighborhoods and investing in our customers and communities," explains Kim C. Liddell, chairman, president and CEO of Delmarva Bancshares, Inc. and 1880 Bank. "Partnering with Habitat Choptank to give more of our neighbors an opportunity to purchase a home makes sense. Just as our local team of employees work to provide a strong, safe and sound bank, we recognize that safe and stable homes are critical to successful families and healthy communities."

Home Sale #67
Weatherization Program for Area Home Owners
July 2015 – Easton Utilities and Habitat for Humanity Choptank have teamed up to help low- and moderate-income homeowners improve energy efficiency and lower their monthly utility bills. Funded by the Maryland Energy Administration's (MEA) 2015 EmPower Clean Energy Communities Low to Moderate Income (LMI) grant, the "Power Up" initiative will deploy up to $170,000 in cost-effective energy efficiency measures that may include air duct sealing, appliance replacement, insulation, HVAC replacement and window replacement.
Participants in the Power Up program will receive a home energy audit by a certified auditor who will identify weatherization and HVAC upgrades appropriate for each home. Based on the audit, certified contractors will install the upgrades. The Power Up program will fund upgrades of up to $5,000 per home for projects not involving a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system replacement and a maximum of $8,000 per home for a project involving an HVAC system replacement. Power Up will fund 100% of the project costs.
To be considered for participation in the program, prospective low- to moderate-income homeowners should call (410) 819-3412. Participants must be Talbot County homeowners. A separate program is available to Dorchester County home owners; call the Habitat Choptank office for more information at 410-476-3204.
LMI households are defined as those that earn less than 85% of the County median Income, which for Talbot is $79,800 and in Dorchester is $60,100. A Talbot County family of four must earn less than $67,850 to be considered moderate income and less than $47,880 to be considered low income. For Dorchester home owners, those numbers are $63,250 and $44,640 respectively. Income guidelines are adjusted for household size by county. Applications will be reviewed and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and projects funded up to the limit of the funds available from the Maryland Energy Administration. All work must be completed by the end of September 2015.
ReImagine ReStore design challenge a hit
May 2015 – The Habitat Choptank ReStore was recently the site of a showdown. Six design teams competed in ReImagine ReStore with the challenge of decorating a 10' x 12' empty space using items gleaned from the ReStore's unique and ever-changing inventory of donated furniture and home improvement items. Working in front of a sold-out audience of 300 guests, each team had 60 minutes to complete the design challenge. The participating designers accented their 'rooms' by donating new decorative items and furniture. At the end of the event, items from the rooms went on sale. ReImagine ReStore also included a ReBoutique with items on sale that had been repurposed by local artists. Proceeds from the event benefit Habitat Choptank's affordable home ownership program.
First rehab project completed in Cambridge
February 2015 – Fairmount Avenue in Cambridge recently welcomed a new neighbor and home owner with the sale of Habitat Choptank's 65th house. The single story home was Habitat Choptank's first rehab in the City since a Habitat program began organizing in Dorchester County in 2005. Over the past ten years, a total of ten new home ownership opportunities have been created in Cambridge thanks to the support of Habitat donors, funders, community partners and volunteers. The Fairmount house was purchased by Cambridge resident Dominique Demby who is employed as a driver with METAC Group.
Blessing for the Dorchester Ecumenical Build Home
December 2014 – Habitat Choptank recently celebrated the completion of home #64 – made possible through a unique partnership with the ecumenical community in Dorchester County. Area churches raised over $97,000 to fund building costs for the single family home at 501 Edgewood Avenue and provided construction volunteers each week April – December. Habitat Choptank provided the land, construction supervision and a qualifying home buyer. The house was purchased by Cambridge resident and first time home owner Yevette Askins, an employee with Chesapeake Woods Center.
3 Homes, 3 Hardworking Families, 1 Dedication for Homes #60-62
February 2014 – A little rain, cold and mud couldn't dampen our spirits as we celebrated 3 new homes and 3 new home owners. Congratulations to the Caple, Mannon, and Montiel families for achieving the dream of home ownership. Here, construction supervisor Steve Thomas presents Linda, Silvia and April with their house keys.
Habitat Choptank Going on 60 (VIDEO)
December 2013 – With almost sixty volunteer-built houses under their belt since they started in 1992, The Spy caught up with Habitat Choptank's director, Nancy Andrew to talk about the full impact of Habitat's work with their partner families and the extraordinary steps they must take, including eliminating all collectible debt, before they can purchase a home. As Nancy says, "This is not a program that gives away free houses."

Gloves are to most riders what shoes are to most women – can't get…
Gloves are to most riders what shoes are to most women – can't get enough of them, but you can never seem to find just the right one. 440 Moto may not have created the glove that's right for everyone, but it's the right glove when you want it to be. When they promised us a pair of their Capital gloves, we were pretty damned eager to see how they'd hold up.
These fine, vintage-inspired gauntlets arrived just before we took off for a two-week trip that took us from Northern California, south through Nevada, east to Northern Arizona and back again. Seventeen hundred miles of temperatures that ranged from the mid-40s to the high 90s, and gusting crosswinds that often tested our grip, our bikes and our mettle.
They were superb.
Granted our hands did feel the cold once the temp dropped below 50 and we were doing 80 on the freeway. A set of glove liners would have probably solved the problem, but we were too lazy and not uncomfortable enough to stop and try that.
Derek Keller, owner of 440 Moto, isn't just some schlub who decided to sew some leather together. He's a craftsman. You can see it in the stitching, the feel of the leather and the design of the gloves – complete with a two-snap strap at the back of the hand and a single snap closure just below the wrist to adjust the fit and finish. His gloves are not only functional, but they make a statement.
Throughout our ride, we appreciated the glove's soft feel and flexibility. The close but not too snug of a fit never felt bulky and allowed us to control our GoPro and electronics almost as if we were barehanded.
But don't expect armor. That's a handful of a different animal. Although, we suspect the bison and deer leather Derek uses with each glove will still do a passable job of protecting your hands and digits in case of a spill.
For $110 you will get a pair of handmade gloves that will probably last you a lifetime. And if gauntlet gloves aren't your thing, Derek sells a shorter version called the Brentwood for $80.
Next up, is 440 Moto's waxed canvas bandana, a throwback to an era where cotton and wool were king and no one knew the word polyester. Can't wait.

Staying in good health and managing weight is on a lot of people's minds. They take steps to create a healthier lifestyle and habits. But one factor that may be hindering these efforts, and which some may overlook, is drinking. Alcohol impacts many facets of the body and overall heath.Chapters Capistrano has released a statement to the press regarding the importance of limiting drinking and creating a well-balanced diet.
"Alcohol can be very high in calories and doesn't provide much nutritional value in return," says Susie Shea, co-owner of the Orange County drug and alcohol rehab center. "When people are drinking several drinks a few nights a week, or drinking every day, this can add up quickly and really take a toll on their health."
According to the Huffington Post, "drinking increases feelings of hunger and decreases judgment skills," so the fact that many people turn to more calorie-laden and unhealthy foods while drinking is little coincidence. Jonathan Keltai, a Nutrition Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and Performance Enhancement Specialist at DavidBartonGym in New York City, explained to the Huffington Post, "people tend to prefer high fat, savory, and salty foods after consuming alcohol." Keep up these habits and weight gain can follow, along with other issues.
"In addition, alcohol also alters the body's ability to properly absorb vitamins, minerals, and nutrients," adds Shea. "Even if you're trying to eat healthier, your body may not be getting the most from it. Some people end up suffering from malnutrition or vitamin deficiencies and those struggling with alcoholism put themselves at higher risk."
Keltai also shared, "Compounding the situation, alcohol can increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol and high levels of cortisol in the body can contribute to gaining excess belly fat." Shea explains that stress management, nutrition counseling, and exercise are all an integral part of comprehensive drug and alcohol rehab programs to help clients get back on track to better health.
"At Chapters, we recognize the negative impact that drinking can have on multiple aspects of a person's life," says Shea. "As clients are overcoming challenges that led to substance misuse, they are also developing the skills and tools necessary to improve their health and lifestyle. As they start to feel and look better, this can be a positive motivator in their recovery." For those who realize their drinking is becoming problematic and affecting not only their health, but also their relationships, family, and career, seeking treatment at a rehab facility is essential. It's not too late to turn their life around.
Chapters Capistrano is a luxury drug and alcohol treatment center located in the city of San Clemente in Orange County, California, with two beautiful ocean-view homes. Specializing in all types of substance abuse, Chapters offers flexible treatment programs that are designed to offer greater confidence in addiction recovery. With a thorough approach to detox, counseling and mental health, this center has delivered many success stories. In addition to offering alternative approaches to conventional recovery, Chapters is also recognized for providing guest comfort with exceptional accommodations, private rooms and cell and laptop allowance.

"We have used Bessire for almost 10 years.."
At Amarok we have used Bessire services for almost 10 years to recruit Installers, Service Techs, Outside Sales Reps and recently a Compliance Director. Jason finds the candidates and scores them. We normally only look at his "A" candidates. While he will handle the admin of setting up interviews, the client is responsible for the final selection. Most standard searches are approximately $10,000 and he is particularly effective when he learns your business as he has done with us.
