Exhibition at the Palais des Nations showcases how wood-based materials offer solutions for recycling
You want to order online but hate the non-recyclable packaging material used in e-commerce in addition to cardboard? You are a restaurant owner and want to cut down on the dozens of Styrofoam boxes that your fish is delivered in every day? You are thinking of building a house but worry about the carbon emissions linked to using concrete and steel?
It can seem difficult to find adequate alternatives for these seemingly ubiquitous, carbon-intensive materials but alternatives do exist. Recyclable packaging and wood-based construction materials exist and are ready to be used on a much bigger scale.
The exhibition "Forests and the Circular Economy. A future without plastics", opening today at the Palais des Nations in Geneva shows that the wood sector offers available products made of renewable and sustainably sourced raw material that can offer solutions to global challenges as part of a circular economy.
Opening the exhibition, UNECE Executive Secretary Olga Algayerova, recalled that "wood-based industries have a significant capacity of recycling that has been strongly imbedded in their operation for decades. Forests also are powerful actors in climate change mitigation".
The use of wood-based products instead of carbon-intensive materials such as plastics, steel, and concrete, for every-day objects and construction would contribute to mitigating climate change, which harms forests, thus diminishing their ability to absorb carbon emissions, which in turn accelerates climate change. In recent years forests have suffered from increased storms, beetle infestations, and wild fires that are likely to have been caused by climate-change related weather events such as heat waves.
The exhibition will be on show from 4 to 15 November 2019 at the Salle des Pas Perdus of the Palais des Nations as part of the European Forest Week held in conjunction with Forêt2019, the joint session of the UNECE Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry and the FAO European Forestry Commission.
The exhibition was organised by the UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section in cooperation with the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), and Uusi puu – the New Wood Project, a network of Finnish organizations aimed at promoting a wood-based bioeconomy. Comprising more than 20 organizations ranging from forest owners and small and large companies to research institutions, the network aims at highlighting new and existing wood-based products and their impact on society.
The exhibition also features a booth from the Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Convention (BRS), which shows concrete ways of managing chemicals and waste to protect human health and the environment, thus paving the way for a safer future.

I've been to Exmouth Market several times, but never ventured down this uninviting passage to visit Spa Fields…
I'd thought it was a perfect place to take a plate of street food from the market, but then I read a little about its history.
Turns out that its well-known for the Spa Fields riots of 1816, and later, between 1821 and 1824, as the base of a community led by a group of printers and based on the co-operative ideas of Robert Owen, the visionary founder of Scotland's New Lanark.
Ups and downs though, and after only several years, the community floundered. Perhaps because, apparently, 'The community also set up a 'monitor' system whereby each monitor looked after one person and acted as his 'confessor'.
Before that though, in the 18th century, it was known for 'the rude sports that were in vogue' and thieves who knocked down passing pedestrians and 'despoiled' them of 'hats, wigs, silver buckles, and money'.
Luckily I was allowed to eat my lunch in peace.
And when I visited, just round the corner, round three corners in fact, there's an inspiring children's playground – not a park though. And an adult-free zone to boot. It may not have 'monitors and confessors' but it does have some rules I loved!
I say when I visited, because sadly I heard that the playground had a fire just after I'd been, and was seriously damaged. You can read about it here.
So I offer you this poem from Robert Louis Stevenson which reminds me so much of playing as a child, although we had nothing as exciting as this wooden structure which was destroyed by the fire. Heartbreaking.
The Swing
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside–
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown–
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
And I invite you to write about being allowed to take a different view of the garden, as with these giant chairs. I'd have LOVED these as a child. In fact I'd love them now. A real boost for young imaginations.
It seems that Islington Council are committed to repairing the playground. I hope the children can play again very soon.

This is a post I never wanted to write. When I started this blog back in June 2003 I was hoping to showcase stories and poems. 9/11 had left me emotionally shattered. I had watched from half a world away the deaths of thousands. It took weeks before we even had a correct figure on the death toll. I have seen many painful moments in my life, but 9/11 left me feeling completely useless. It took years for me to be able to read a newspaper, open a news channel, or pick up a news magazine. I felt as if shadowy forces I would never comprehend had taken complete control of my world, my nation, and my life. It was only much later that I learned three people I knew had died in the initial inferno and two more were in the street below when the towers came tumbling down. By June 2003 I was barely a shell of my former self and I hoped this blog would help me write my way back to sanity.
At first, I focused on games and anecdotes from life in Tokyo. I did not even want to think about the wars in the Middle East. Instead, I did my very best to ignore the entire world by immersing myself in online games. Sadly, the cruelty and sadism of the larger world invaded the games I was playing. MMORPGs morphed almost overnight from glorious virtual reality chat rooms into vicious battlegrounds where people of all ages fought for supremacy as well as hot markets for internet sales of stolen virtual merchandise. My pleasant, virtual diversions had become the core environment far too many people depended on to destroy as many lives as possible in order to validate their own self-worth. In about 2005 or 2006 the raw anger and unmitigated cruelty of newcomers to the world of MMORPGs had completely shattered my delusion that humanity had finally perfected itself. I learned the hard way that "common sense" ethics and morality did not extend to online gaming. This confused me terribly. I had long believed that humanity was on the verge of a new era of spiritual enlightenment, social progress, and individual tolerance. Yes, in those days I believed in Unicorns.
For a couple of years I wandered aimlessly trying to find some kind of social safe harbor. None existed. Then Barack Obama, an unknown freshman Senator from Illinois, was heralded by Time Magazine as America's first foreign born politician. His Kenyan birth, his young life in Malaysia, his adolescence in Hawaii were trumpeted high and low as the harbingers of a new era of global tolerance and governance. He was thrust into the forefront of American politics as a new kind of presidential candidate, an educated man with a global mind who had seen firsthand the struggles of the world's poor. There were whispers the Dalai Lama had declared him Buddha reborn. Was this the new Messiah who would lead the world into the final Age of Aquarius?
In 2008 I returned to the United States for the first time in over twenty years. I had spent my entire adult life overseas. Now that my children had become young men I decided it was time to return to my homeland and help my nation move forward into this new age of enlightenment. I was shocked and horrified to discover almost no one understood a word of what I was saying. I was speaking English, but they heard only gibberish. I did what I have always done in that situation: I shut up and listened!
Listening helped me learn to focus down on facts. Raw, undisputed facts. Solid facts. Rocks, tree, confirmed death counts, injury reports, catalogs of findings. 2008 to 2010 were years of sudden advanced learning in a school I had completely ignored: the school of life. I listened to people who denied Barack Obama had been born overseas, and I listened to people who insisted he had been born in Kenya. I listened to people who said America needed nationalized medicine and I listened to people who said nationalized medicine was a precursor to plague and starvation. I listened to people who said aliens had destroyed the World Trade Center and I listened to people explain exactly how and why jet fuel could burn hot enough to weaken steel girders. I learned both the history of Christianity and the precepts of Maliki Jurisprudence and how the centuries old conflict between the two had made 9/11 inevitable. It took me two years of quiet listening to find my way back. Along the way the most important lesson I learned was how to recognize the difference between facts and interpretations. This, in turn, helped me learn to recognize false conspiracy theories and fake news reports. I poured what I was learning into this blog. 132 posts in 2009, my record year.
One of the great shocks upon my return to the United States in 2008 was the discovery that two schools of thought existed about our Constitution. In one school of thought, it was a flexible legal document of idealistic proposals subject to frequent amendments and daily reinterpretation. In the other school of thought, it was a sacrosanct document intended for direct literal application to the Federal Government in order to prevent the Federal Government from ever overwriting the rights and prerogatives of the individual States. I learned that the real reason for the Southern Succession and the Civil War was the increasing tendency of factions within the Federal Government to impose their will on the new territories joining the Union. The rights of slaveowners were set into direct conflict with those who sought to defend the rights of slaves. Property versus community, common law versus common sense, a progressive elite backed by industrialization that sought to liberate slaves from agriculturalists who could not imagine surviving without slave labor. Both sides claimed that "common sense" guided their priorities and "God above" led their campaign.
Between combat, disease, and displacement, nearly a million Americans died in that conflict. The slaves gained their freedom, but the social fabric of the nation has never recovered. All of the political and social divisions present in the United States today are a direct result of the hatreds and prejudices that locked the nation on a path to Civil War. A million dead in a war that we are still fighting today. Now, instead of bullets and burnt crops we are using words that flash around the world at the speed of light. Even the social upheaval that destroyed my joy of gaming was a direct result of our nation's inability to agree on whether we are one democratic nation undivided or a loose federation of states organized as a constitutional republic.
Without even knowing it, I have been fighting this battle my entire life long. My family's deep roots, going all the way back to Jamestown and Plymouth Colony, has created in me a very deep patriotism and an unshakable faith in the United States as a people and as a nation. When you factor in the intermarriage with women from native tribes and the one crazy ancestor who enjoyed raping his slaves, the history of my family is the history of America. We have been here from the very beginning. We have fought in every war. We fought on both sides of the Civil War. The blood that this nation is built upon is our blood. That perspective has given us a vested and very real interest in both the creation and the interpretation of the Constitution. The same philosophical divisions that divide the nation also divide us. Some of us are literal Constitutionalists while some of us are interpretative Constitutionalists. Some of us vote straight Democratic Party tickets in every election while some of us vote straight Republican Party tickets. And yes, just like in the greater community of Americans, some of us vote independent of party affiliation. This is a perspective all you newcomers who arrived at Ellis Island and after can never understand. Your perspective is not wrong or bad, it's just lacking tens of generations of blood and guts that you did not have to participate in. By the time you folks arrived, the place was pretty much settled and the worst of our barbarism had worked itself out on battlefields you can visit but can never own the way we own them. That blood staining the grass on Bunker Hill, Cemetery Hill, Little Big Horn, and Wounded Knee? That's our blood, not yours. Yes, it does make a difference.
So when some self-righteous Senator or angry young man goes on CNN and blathers on about "common sense", those two words mean something much different to me than they do to them. "Common Sense Gun Control" in my family is dry powder, a clean firearm, and six shots on a six-inch plate at one hundred yards with open sights. This definition is never going to change. It can't change. We have lost too many loved ones, taken too many lives, and won too many hard fought battles that we could just as easily have lost, to think of "Common Sense Gun Control" as anything except good preparation and proper training. We built this nation. We built it on the blood of our brothers and sisters and the deaths of our enemies. Almost all of us are NRA members, even the ones who agree with you about limiting or restricting "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines".
This is why the "gun control" debate had reversed direction ever since the rise of the information age. We know what you're doing. We share what we learn about your plans and tactics. We have been analyzing intelligence and finding weak points in our opposition for almost three hundred years. You had us on the retreat when you controlled the information flow, but now that control is broken. Scream all you like. Call us names. Tell us we lack "common sense" or "insight" or "intelligence" or "compassion". Treat us like peasants and label us "deplorable racists". None of that changes anything. We built this country brick by brick with our blood, our sweat, and yes, our "common sense".
You can't win this fight. Stop screaming at us about dead children. We see their broken bodies and it breaks our hearts just as deeply as it does yours. Do you really want to compare how many children your family and mine have lost to violence? We know your pain. It is because we know your pain that we resist your efforts to limit our access to the tools we need to survive. Self-defense is a human right. An AR-15 with a 30-round magazine is indisputably the best tool for self-defense, bar none! Maybe you trust the police and the FBI and the ATF, but we are the police, the FBI, and the ATF. We've been doing these jobs since the foundation of the U.S. Marshalls service. Before that we were Texas Rangers, "American bobbies", foot soldiers, commanders, judges, justices, and even a few felons. My father was a Police Officer who wrote many of the policies and procedures that his former police department is still using. One member of my family is an FBI agent, another used to work in the FBI genetics lab. I was in the U.S. Army during the Reagan years.
Stop waving the bodies of your dead children in our faces. We understand your pain. We feel your pain. Our guns are not the problem. We're not giving them up because you feel frightened every time some broken Democrat that you've bullied and mistreated goes on a shooting rampage. Maybe if you stopped bullying one another and learned to listen you would stop creating these violent madmen?
Common sense gun control? From where I sit, that means liberal progressives (Democrats and Republicans alike!) need to stop emotionally abusing people who disagree with them. That definitely seems like a good "common sense" solution to me.

Collecting for multiple systems runs you thin so I try stick to a budget now, have just over 4,000 games complete in box in the library and I went crazy buying up things over the last 10 years. Pulled back now though and only try to buy games that are either a great deal/a steal, or games I must play when they arrive. This is across all Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega and XBox.
SMS: 207 games
SMD: 333 games
32X: 19 games
SMCD: 77 games
Saturn: 140 games
DC: 159 games
Intent is still a full PAL set, though there's no rush, figured if it takes a lifetime it takes a lifetime.

My mother-in-law asked me to do something with her old weather station. I hope she likes what I did with it. I built a new frame for it and used only the gauges from the original. It's made from solid oak and sprayed with clear lacquer. The key to this project was precise drilling of all the dowel holes so that the gaps around the frame would be evenly spaced.

The Bay Gardener
by Dr. Frank Gouin
Cones open in late summer or early fall while still on the tree, and the seeds are scattered by the wind. The winged seeds that rise from cones are called samaras. Thus, if you are going to collect seeds, you must climb the trees and collect cones while they are closed.
Last season, every time you used your fishing tackle in Bay waters, some parts of it got wet. The water eventually evaporated, but the salt in that water remains behind in the tackle, accumulating. The more you used your gear, the more salt it gathered.
Sky Watch
by J. Alex Knoll
As the sun hovers directly above the Tropic of Capricorn Monday, December 21, winter officially takes hold. The sun rises at 7:21:24 and sets less than nine and a half hours later at 4:47:19. Back on summer solstice we enjoyed almost 15 hours of sunlight; the difference in daylight hours is why it's so cold now not how close we are to the sun.
The second-grade students of Calvert Elementary art teacher Shari Adams saw nothing they could recognize in the bits and pieces of the Old Wallville School, which opened last month, reconstructed for students of history. It will now continue to spark memories and fuel comparisons that help its visitors understand "the human condition."
Who doesn't know that Harvey is a Pooka, an imaginary six-foot rabbit that accompanies Elwood P. Dowd everywhere, much to the consternation of Elwood's family. His sister tries to commit him, but after many confused identities and cross-purposes, Elwood's sweet, innocent nature wins the day. He and Harvey presumably live happily ever after.
This detailed narrative is a skipjack tale like no other. Of the several books I've read about Chesapeake boats and oyster harvesting (or orstering, as its practitioners would say), Skipjack is the one that encompasses just about everything a reader would want to know about life on and in the Bay.

There is a lot of factual and historical information about socialism, and no lack of books on it. But what was life like for people who lived in a socalist country? This is the question that is answered in this new book. The wall fell over 30 years ago, and the realities of that time have begun to fade. Some people have already become nostalgic, such as former Party functionaries and others who benefited from the communist rule. For the rest, however, it is important to bear witness to what it was really like to live in those times before the memories begin to vanish. The stories in this book are by their nature far from complete because memory is not linear but impressionistic. Still, the reader may find them of interest because they are the legacy of a lost socialist world.
Readers who are interested in the life of ordinary people in the course of history will definitely want to add "LIFTING THE IRON CURTAIN" by Christoph Werner to their library. The well written book presents an often fascinating insight into a way of life German people of the 21st century simply do not know and will very likely never experience themselves. The various stories cover interesting topics like socialist economy, Politburo, what collectivisation meant for agriculture, and which role the freedom of expression plays in a socialist country.
"LIFTING THE IRON CURTAIN" by Christoph Werner is now available from tredition or can be ordered through retail using ISBN 978-3-7497-8132-4. tredition assists young and unknown authors with publishing their own books, but also cooperates with publishers and publishing houses. tredition publishes books in print and digital formats, distributes locally and online, and actively markets all titles.

Spook the Horses craft monumental hymns, emotional and confrontational. From the dense, shimmering stormclouds of their debut "Brighter", to the arid and desperate bursts on their latest album "Rainmaker", Spook the Horses strive to forcibly reinvent themselves with each release.
Described as "standing out in a genre overcrowded with imitators" and "nothing short of breathtaking", as well as having supported many musical contemporaries such as The Ocean, This Will Destroy You, Sleepmakeswaves, Ulcerate and Kylesa, the music and art of Spook the Horses are mercurial and authoritative forces to be reckoned with.

Village Sky At Night with Brian Watkiss
Shooting stars and diamonds in the sky
Posted on July 31 2016 at 1:58:26 0 comments
Amateur astronomer Brian Watkiss peers into the Village night sky.
School holidays again and it's a great time for gazing into the evening sky. OK, so it doesn't get dark till gone ten o'clock but that doesn't matter, does it?
As soon as the Sun has disappeared over the horizon, look over into the golden glow and you should be able to spot Venus. It will be very low but being so bright, it should be visible and, for the first few days of the month you might be able to find Mercury close by, a little to the left.
Because it is so very tiny, it could be tricky without, at least, binoculars – but please make sure the Sun has gone before you get them out. It will certainly be beneficial to seek out a good view of the western horizon even if you have to climb a hill to find it.
These two planets will have gone by the time darkness arrives but don't worry, all the other bright planets are still around. Following Venus down towards the sunset is the largest of all the planets, Jupiter.
Look out for it on the 5th and 6th when a very thin crescent Moon is nearby. If you keep watching on a daily basis you will see it creep closer and closer to Venus, finally closing in on the 27th before being lost in the twilight.
Jupiter has been dominating the night sky for many months now but as the Earth moves round to the opposite side of the Sun, it will be gone from our night skies, becoming an early morning object in October.
Moving further left along the ecliptic, we find the next brightest planet, Mars. This planet is easy to identify because apart from its brightness it has a distinctive orange hue. In fact, it is just about the most colourful object in the sky.
Amazing to think that it looks that way because it has gone rusty!
As the days go by, Mars sweeps slowly along the tail of Scorpius, the scorpion (which sounds a pretty dangerous sort of thing to do), arriving in conjunction with the brightest star in the constellation, Antares, on the 24th.
The last of our plethora of planets is close by all month too. Look just to the left of Mars and there is Saturn, quite obvious and a very different colour to the red planet. It's interesting to see how bright it is considering it is nearly ten times further away from us than the Sun.
On the 11th of the month, the Moon makes a close approach and, in fact, forms a diamond shape with Saturn, Mars and Antares. These last three also line themselves up nicely on the 23rd.
Of course, August also means meteor watching with the best shower of all, the Perseids. These peak overnight on the 11th so, wherever you are in the world, get a chair and some company and sit out and count shooting stars.

Over the last couple of days, I have attempted to highlight professional sports and the city of Louisville. First, we had the Louisville Colonels in baseball; then, there was the Brecks in the NFL; and finally, with some hesitation, we move to professional basketball. I say hesitation because any time anybody mentions professional basketball in the state of Kentucky, sure enough, riots ensue mainly because, and I include myself in this, this state is basketball crazy, for lack of a better word. And, I'm worse than everybody else about it. I love basketball. It's a rite of passage in this region of the country, and so it only makes sense that pro-basketball should be a logical fit here. The two are made for each other, like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt – oh wait, well, maybe that still works. The city is still a little sore after losing the Charlotte Hornets several years ago and being passed over as one of the expansion cities more recently. However, as many are well aware, professional basketball has graced the streets of Louisville years ago, specifically in 1967 when the Kentucky Colonels, who made their home for most of the team's career at Freedom Hall, first took the court. As one of the inaugural teams, the Colonels boasted one of the strongest staying powers of any of the teams in the flashy league.
This team began its existence with the trademark creative ideas associated with the league with the red, white and blue ball, including playing the first female ever to play professional basketball – Penny Ann Early. They proved their longevity with pure solid basketball boasting the most wins of any ABA team after the league folded in 1976. It was this year that the stronger and more established National Basketball Association (NBA) merged with the upstart. And, when talk began that several teams would be moving to the wealthier league, it was thought by many that the Kentucky Colonels with their line-up and record would be a lock. But, as the Indiana Pacers, New Jersey Nets, Denver Nuggets, and San Antonio Spurs rounded out the merger with the formerly rival leagues, many Kentuckians and ABA fans alike were left wondering where the Colonels were. While some players like Kentucky grads Louie Dampier and Dan Issel went to the NBA individually, the team was forced to fold leaving many Louisvillians in search of a Colonels continuation. A search that will more than likely only conclude once the green and white of the Colonels take the court one more time.

The next wave of technology designed to keep drivers from getting distracted or dozing off could soon be watching you behind the wheel.
Eye-monitoring systems are quickly becoming a focus for automakers and suppliers working on advanced driver assistance systems, known as ADAS.
"If your eyes are looking away from the road, the vehicle will understand that you are paying attention to something else," said Nick Langdale-Smith, a vice president at Seeing Machines.
Seeing Machines is a technology company that's working with a number of automakers on an eye-monitoring system it aims to have in new vehicles within the next couple of years.
Read More Surf the web as you 'drive' this futuristic car
Here's how it works.
A small camera mounted in the instrument panel behind the steering wheel tracks the eye's movements as well as the driver's blinking patterns.
If the driver looks away to text, read an email or focus on something other than the road, the camera will notice. The eye-monitoring system will then work with the vehicle's ADAS to warn the driver to pay attention.
"The vehicle has an understanding of whether I'm paying attention or not," Langdale-Smith said. "When I'm coming up to a stoplight, have I seen the vehicles in front of me?"

Gwangju - China's Sun Yang captured a record fourth 400 metres freestyle world title in an acrimonious final Sunday, before Britain's Adam Peaty produced an eye-popping world breaststroke record.
Sun pumped his fists and let out a visceral roar after a pulsating race brimming with bad vibes and capped by rival Mack Horton's refusal to join the Chinese giant on the podium after the medal ceremony in Gwangju.
"Not everyone likes me - I don't care," growled Sun when asked about Horton's snub.
"It's OK if you don't respect me personally, but at the victory ceremony - which is a sincere occasion - you should show respect to my country."
The controversial triple Olympic gold medallist slapped the water in delight, pointing to his flag-waving Chinese fans as he savoured an emotional victory over Australian Horton and his 10th world championship gold medal.
Sun's latest career milestone comes after fresh allegations in a leaked FINA doping report that claimed the Chinese giant smashed blood samples with a hammer after being visited by testers last year.
The defending champion clocked three minutes, 42.44 seconds with Horton taking silver in 3:43.17 and Italian Gabriele Detti bronze in 3:43.23 in a repeat of the 2017 podium in Budapest.
As he climbed out of the pool, Sun bellowed at the crowd before breaking down in tears.
The bad blood between him and Horton continued with the Australian refusing to take part in the traditional photo after the playing of the Chinese national anthem.
The pair have clashed in the past with the Aussie, before beating him at the 2016 Rio Olympics, calling Sun a "drug cheat" over a three-month suspension for a banned stimulant Sun said he took for a heart condition.
"I don't think I need to say anything," sniffed Horton. "I think his actions and how it's been handled speaks louder than anything I could say."
Peaty smashed his own 100 metres breaststroke world record, the Olympic champion storming home to win his semi-final in a time of 56.88 seconds - becoming the first swimmer to break the 57-second barrier and eclipsing his previous mark by more than two tenths.
The tattooed pin-up, who has not been beaten for five years over the 100 metres in major competition, turned 0.12 inside world record pace as fellow Briton James Wilby struggled to keep up.
"There's no other word except for incredible," said Peaty.
"I've been chasing that for three years now, ever since I touched that wall in Rio and I knew I could go faster."
After the tension of Sun's gold medal - the first of the eight-day pool competition - Aussie teenager Ariarne Titmus stunned American great Katie Ledecky to win the women's 400m freestyle final.
The three-time champion looked in complete control until she faded coming off the final turn, allowing Titmus to storm past her to bag her first world title.
"The time wasn't a surprise," said Titmus, who clocked 3:58.76 to beat Ledecky by more than a second
"I knew I probably had that in me but it's pretty surreal at the moment - Katie's a true champion."
A deflated Ledecky admitted: "This stings a little. I need to rebound from this, get my fight back."
Caeleb Dressel, who swept seven medals at the 2017 world championships, led the American men's 4x100m freestyle team to gold in a meet record of 3:09.06, retaining their title by almost a second from Russia in silver.
Hearing of the latest spat between Sun and Horton, Dressel said: "I'm sure there's some strong feelings there - swimming's getting intense, jeez!"
Cate Campbell anchored Australia to gold in the women's 4x100m free in the evening's final race.

The United States has again brought Burma's human rights record to the attention of The U.N. Security Council. Six of the council's 15 members joined in calling for the release of detained Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The issue of human rights in Burma is not formally on the Security Council's agenda. But the United States Friday raised the question of the Rangoon government's detention of political prisoners during an informal closed-door council meeting.
Diplomats attending the session say five other countries joined the United States in calling for Aung San Suu Kyi's release from house arrest.
As he emerged from the meeting, Acting Deputy U.S. Representative Gerald Scott said the occasion for raising the issue was the detained Burmese opposition leader's 60th birthday last Sunday.
"The United States has taken this occasion to express our serious concern about the fact that the situation in Burma continues to decline. At least 1,300 political prisoners [are] in that country, and we felt under these circumstances it was appropriate to raise this point with other representatives of the international community," said Mr. Scott.
Several European diplomats confirmed that the other five Council members expressing concern about Aung San Suu Kyi's detention were Britain, France, Denmark, Greece, and Romania.
But in recognition of the sharp divisions within the Security Council on the Burma question, Ambassador Scott acknowledged that, technically, there was no discussion of the matter, only comments from envoys wishing to speak.
"These were consultations rather than a public meeting in the Council, and I would rather just make the point of how strongly we feel about it, and how we've set this issue one more time underline the issue, but I would rather not characterize the reaction and would let other delegate representatives speak for themselves," he added.
Other U.S. and European diplomats say Russia and China object to putting Burma on the council agenda. Russia's deputy U.N. representative Konstantin Dolgov said his country would have nothing to say on the issue.
"I will not comment on the substance of the matter because the matter has not been brought before the council formally," he noted.
Several world leaders, including President Bush and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, along with 14 of her fellow Nobel peace prize winners, called for Aung San Suu Kyi's release last week when she celebrated her 60th birthday. She has spent nine of the past 16 years either behind bars or under house arrest.
Organizers say the birthday effort is modeled after the 1988 "Mandela at 70" campaign to free Nelson Mandela from imprisonment in apartheid-era South Africa. Aung San Suu Kyi is confined to her two-story family home in Rangoon, sealed off around the clock by security forces.

The impact of WW1 on America.
Extracts from this document...
The impact of WW1 on America By Seb Smith 12F The Impact WW1 had on a number of countries was great, but what did it have on America, did they gain anything? Did they lose anything? That I what I will find out by looking at the American economy, the American armed forces and Americas society in general, these three topics will help me to find the answer to my question. After the war, countries looked to America for money and resources, and this led to the economy being bigger than ever, the economic boom. The economic boom involved five main factors, which made America look like the god of the world after the war. The fact that America was rich in natural resources such as coal, iron, oil, and timber meant that they could easily afford to run bigger and bigger factories. Bigger factories meant that there was going to be a big increase in the number of workers needed, and this need for more workers meant that there was room for a change in the way factories operated. Henry Ford, the founder of Ford cars realised this and so came out with the idea of the Assembly line. ...read more.
As a result many American believed that they lost too much in a war that they need not be involved in, and so it is clear that WW1 contributed towards the post war policy that was made. This policy meant that American would not get involved in any future European dispute, which meant that there was a isolationism between America and Europe. America society, how was it affected? Did WW1 have an Impact on it? The answer is yes it did, in a big way. Because of the economic boom, the controls that the government put over the American economy reached a ridiculous level. First, the government introduced progressive taxation, because they felt that the increase in sales and the profits, which were being made due to the war, should be re-invested to benefit war effort. To do this successfully, agencies were set up so that every branch of the economy could be controlled. To start there was the War industries board, which allocated scarce materials fairly and determined productions priorities, which meant that products were standardised. Prices stayed fixed but still the efficiency levels still managed to increase. As well as the war industries board there was another board that covered the food industries. ...read more.
Prohibition was in place quickly because of the campaign by the anti saloon league who believed that it produced inefficiency and increased absenteeism in the work place and that it was immoral and un patriotic because a lot of the beer for example was brewed in Germany. The 18th amendment was introduced in December 1918 and put in place a month later. The final impact on society was the fact that finally women were receiving the franchise. This was a slow process but by April 1917 11 states mainly in the west allowed women the right to vote, although most of the government disagreed with female suffrage since the war women had moved from being house wives in the kitchen to being bread providers in the factories so all believed they should have the right. In 1918 the 9th amendment was passes allowing the women to vote and by August of the following year it was made the law. It is clear how much WW1 did contribute to the change of attitude that dominated the roaring twenties, and again shows what actual impact the war did have on America. In summary all the above quite clearly shows what sort of affect the First World War had on the economy, the armed forces and the American society in general. ...read more.

Calamity's Corner: I, Bartender
From ancient concepts of golems to clockwork automatons to fully synthetic, sentient beings like Star Trek – The Next Generation's Data, artificial humans have been part of our shared mythology for quite some time. In these days it is not uncommon for robots and other automated machinery to perform a variety of tasks. Auto production has been using robotics for quite some time, for example, and more advanced robotics are being worked on every day.
So, it's no wonder that robotics would start to popping in even recreational venues. Enter the Robot Bartender. Caribbean Cruise's Quantum of the Sea has a robotic bartender. There are bartender machines popping up for home use, even. Machines are making cocktails, and what does this mean for those of us, flesh and blood, in the bar industry?
Well, right now, not a lot. Robot Bartenders aren't very commonplace as yet, but the question is: "Will they be?" or more accurately, "Should they be?" Is there a place for these robotics drink slingers? Are things better when a robot makes them, or should drink craft be left in the hands of human bartenders? There isn't really a definitive answer, so let's take a closer look at some of the issues.
Robotic bartenders will ensure a greater continuity of drink quality. All drinks will be identically made, in essence, they'll all be perfectly proportioned. No matter when you order a Manhattan it will be the exact same drink each time. Then again, there isn't really any variance when human bartenders make the same drink if they are following the same recipe and method. If I make a Manhattan and Dorian makes one the drinker shouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. The main difference here is that each time the robot will produce the exact same thing. Whereas when Dorian and I make the drink there is always the chance for some variables to slip in. A slight difference in proportion, or in length of stir time. So, yes, in terms of consistency the robot is better.
Drink preparation is only one aspect of a bartenders duties. There is also the issue of interaction with our guests. As yet we do not have the ability to create a robot capable of spontaneous interaction with people. Robots can be programmed to react certain ways, but they're not quite at the level of dealing with us on a truly "human" level. So in this area, the ability to not just talk to our guest, but converse, and for a short time at least, befriend our guests humans have the advantage. When it comes to performance we may have a bit more of a tie. Robots can be programmed to perform tricks that humans can't. But humans are more susceptible to failure, to dropping things, to making that last minute save, thus to making things more spontaneous. While a robot can be taught to flair, a human can make a show of it. Humans can read and respond to the atmosphere, and alter what we do and how we act on clues from the guests and from input from the environment. This means that each time a human bartender makes a drink it creates a unique experience.
All that being taken into account there are some venues where a robotic bartender could certainly come in handy. There are times when a place is so busy, so hopping that human bartenders can get overwhelmed. I know I've been in that situation. It's rush hour at the bar and grill, the floor is packed – all tables full. The bar seats and cocktail lounge is full, there are people standing 3 deep at the bar, and there's a wait list a half hour long at the hostess station. The two bartenders on duty are responsible for serving high quality drinks to their seated guests, while also serving those standing at the bar. Servers are sending in drink tickets, sometimes with 6 or more drinks on them. It's frenetic, chaotic, and exhausting work. Oh, those hardy bartenders can certainly get it done, no worries, but it is stressful beyond belief. Enter your friendly neighborhood Drink-O-Tron! Set one of these bad boys up by the server station. Servers can send their tickets to the Drink-O-Tron and get them in an efficient manner. This gives the bartenders more leeway to properly serve both their seated guests and those standing at the bar.
Will robot bartenders ever take the place of human ones? Doubtful. There is too much to be said for the interaction between bartender and guest. People will still want to pull up a stool and chat with their bartender, spill their woes (but please, not their drinks!) and commiserate. There is still something about the way one bartender makes a drink and presents it versus another. Even if the drinks are technically identical, they are different. There's the passion and love a bartender puts into their creation that can make all the difference.

All things new
Paw paw is a fruit.
Baw Baw is a person.
Eritrea is a country.
Comer is a town.
Karen (Kah ren') is a group of people.
All this is new to me since coming to Jubilee Partners on August 16. These are facts I have learned, experiences that I am having. Paw paws grow here and are mango-like, though smaller and less juicy with multiple pits. Baw Baw is my student learning English as her third language, and we are fast friends, and she teaches me, too. Eritrea is in the Horn of Africa and our newest family is Kunama, a minority group marginalized there due, in part, to scarce resources. Comer, in outlying Athens, Georgia, is a mile away and seems a welcoming place with its village green, a couple gas stations, Food Lane grocery, Family Dollar, Chef Burger and Maggie's cafe. Karen people, as I get to know them, tell the story of fleeing persecution in Burma.
My mind expands with new information, for example that the U.S. accepts more refugees than all other countries combined, around 70,000 in 2013.
My soul stretches with new relationships and heartfelt worship.
My body tries to keep up with it all, actually doing quite well, relishing even pulling invasive weeds in the heat and humidity and the heavy duty cleaning to get cabins ready for incoming families. Teaching Baw Baw is considered a work assignment but is pure joy. Preparing meals and washing dishes is fun, shoulder to shoulder with others.
Thank you, God, for this place and these people, who glorify you and witness to all things being made new through the power of your love. Amen!

Capturing ColdFusion's Debug Output in FusionReactor
It would be great if you could capture the debug data from every page run but hide it away from the user so that they don't even see it. It's easy to do this with FusionReactor.
ColdFusion's powerful debug data output feature that lets you see lots of useful debugging information about the page run. Unfortunately the data is lost as soon as you run the next page in the browser window/tab and is only visible to the user that ran the page.
The Article
We're all familiar with ColdFusion's debug output at the end of a CFML page. Many CFML programmers use it as the primary way of debugging CFML code.
There are a few problems with the way that debug data is made available to us however such as the fact that the only user that can see the debug output is the user that ran the page. This is even more of a problem if you want to see the debug data but don't want to scare the user that ran the page. Of course it's possible in CF to restrict the IP addresses that generate debug output but sometimes you want to be able to see the debug output from other users without them seeing it. It's easy to do with FRAPI.
About FRAPI
FRAPI is a powerful and easy to use API that allows you to take control of FusionReactor programatically. Using FRAPI you can change the running configuration of FusionReactor or add extra debugging information to requests using just a few lines of code.
Here's how to instantiate the FRAPI interface in CFML. Once we have FRAPI available we add extra information to a request data recorded in FusionReactor using FRAPI's trace() function:
<cftry> <cfset frapi = createObject("java", "com.intergral.fusionreactor.api.FRAPI").getInstance()> <cfset frapi.trace( "Hello FRAPI!")> <cfcatch> <!--- FRAPI isn't available so FusionReactor probably isn't installed ---> </cfcatch> </cftry>
Note that we always wrap FRAPI calls in a TRY/CATCH block. The reason for this is that FusionReactor may not be installed on every computer that you run the code on. The TRY/CATCH blocks will make sure that FRAPI calls will have no influence on your code even if FusionReactor isn't installed.
To try FRAPI, create a "frapitest.cfm" file with the CFML code above and run the page on a system that has FusionReactor installed. After the page has completed go into FusionReactor's Request History, select the Request Details for the request and click on the Markers tab to see the "Hello FRAPI!" message. Cool no? FRAPI tracks messages on the request as soon as trace() is called so it's possible to see the trace() statements in the Markers tab updating as a page is being run!
So how would we capture CF's debug output? We don't want to add FRAPI code to every page that we write that's for sure. We need to understand how ColdFusion's debug output is done to know how to capture it.
When enabled, CF Debug output is appended at the end of the page output by rCF running a "Debug Output Formatting" template. This is simply a piece of CFML code to that formats the debugging information into HTML. What's even better is the fact that the you can write your own and tell ColdFusion to use your template instead of the default one. So what if we wrote a CF Debug Template that simply calls FRAPI and adds that debug data to the FusionReactor Request using trace() calls? This means that the information would be available in FusionReactor but the user wouldn't even know that debug output was enabled because the FRAPI trace() calls don't output anything. It's that easy! Ok, there is always a but…
…but I don't know how to access all of this CF Debug Data and for sure it's complex, right?
The CF Debug data structures are fairly complex and very powerful but this is reason that few people ever write there own CF Debug Formatting template. The good news is we don't need to know anything about it due to a powerful CFML tag called <CFSAVECONTENT>. I know that the advanced CFML programmers out there just went… "OK, I get it…", but for the rest of us let's go into a little more detail on how we can do this.
<CFSAVECONTENT> is a tag that allows the programmer to capture output into a variable instead of sending it back to the user. Using <CFSAVECONTENT> we can capture the output from the classic CF debugging template into a variable and then simply call FRAPI's trace() function passing that variable as the information to record! Easy!
<cftry> <cfset frapi = createObject("java", "com.intergral.fusionreactor.api.FRAPI").getInstance()> <cfsavecontent variable="debugData"><cfinclude template="classic.cfm"></cfsavecontent> <cfset frapi.trace( debugData )> <cfcatch> <!--- FRAPI isn't available so FusionReactor probably isn't installed ---> </cfcatch> </cftry>
All we have to do now is add our FRAPI Debug Template (frapi.cfm) to the CF debug templates by simply copying it folder where debug templates are placed, typically <coldfusion folder>/wwwroot/WEB-INF/debug.
Finally we have to Enable Request Debugging Output and select our new ("frapi.cfm") template as the Debugging Output Format in the ColdFusion Administrator -> Debug Output Settings page.
The next time you (or anyone) runs a CF page FusionReactor will capture the Debug data for the page. To see the data simple go to the FusionReactor->Request History, select the Request Detail for the request and then click on the Markers tab to see the CF Debugging Data for the page.
- Performance
ColdFusion pages run slower when debugging is enabled and on some applications enabling CF Debug Output can seriously impact the performance of the server. You should test this on your applications before enabling debugging a production server.
- Memory
FusionReactor will record the debug output on each request that it keeps in it's request history. This will use some memory; for example, if you have a Request History size of 100 requests and the average debug output data size is 20Kbytes then FusionReactor will use 2Mbytes of memory to
record the debug data.
- Data
The amount of debug data recorded is controlled via the settings on the Debug Output Settings page and the classic.cfm debug formatting output template. The data will not be added to FusionReactor until the page completes because this is when CF calls the Debug Output Formatting page. The
debug data captured will honor any Debugging IP Address restrictions that you configure in the CF Administrator.
Fast Track
- Copy the frapi.cfm file linked to this article to your ColdFusion Debug Formatting Template folder (typically): <coldfusion folder>/wwwroot/WEB-INF/debug
- Select Debugging Output Format: "frapi.cfm" in the ColdFusion Administrator -> Debug Output.
- Enable Request Debugging Output in the ColdFusion Administrator->Debug Output Settings Settings
- Run a CF page.
- In FusionReactor->Request History select the Request Detail for the request and then click on the Markers tab to see the CF Debugging Data from the page.
FRAPI is a powerful way to capture extra debugging information on requests and makes FusionReactor a powerful platform for debugging on both development and production servers.

West Germany is the colloquial name given to the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) prior to German reunification in 1990. It was formed from the British, French and American zones of occupied Germany in 1949, and the 'provisional' capital of the state was Bonn. West Berlin was not officially part of the Federal Republic until 1991; its status remained that of a city under allied military government. Heavy US American investments in the country lead it to the "German economic miracle".

NEW Aspire Atlantis V2 Organic Cotton Coils - 1.0ohms - 5 Pack
This is for 5 coils in a pack and are rated at 1.0 ohms
WARNING: Your mod must be able to handle 1.0ohms!! It is technically not subohms, but it is still a low ohm and requires special equipment. Aspire has stated also that these do not work as well on the original Atlantis due to the increased airflow with the Atlantis V2, please DO NOT use these on the original Atlantis.
These are made from an organic cotton material for the Atlantis V2 (not the original Atlantis) with superior wicking capabilities than the prior ceramic material. This allows for more saturation of e-liquid at the coil for richer flavors and heavier vapor production. Make sure to add several drops of your e-liquid to the coil material before placing it into the tank, as this will help keep it moist. These coils will burn when dry.
Prevent your wicks! A drop or two will saturate the wick preventing burn out.
This is a notice direct from the foil pack:
When using a new atomizer, let the tank stand for 2 minutes so the cotton can be saturated with liquid before firing.
Do not let the tank become completely empty refill the tank to avoid dry burning or damage to the atomizer.
Warning: These are 1.0 low resistance coils! It will only work on the Atlantis V2 tank along with a mechanical mod with a battery capable of 30 AMP draw or higher and mod capable of 20 watt or higher. You must be sure that your mod AND batteries can handle low coils. If you're using an electronic mod, make sure it and the battery you use (if removable) can handle the amps. For mechanical mod users, please use 30 Amp batteries or higher. Use the OHMS LAW CALCULATOR, CHECK YOUR AMPS, and be safe!
These coils are not made to work in ANY other item but the Atlantis V2, it will fit the Atlantis V1 but according to Aspire the heat is too great, do not use on the original Atlantis
It it the Bottom Vertical Coil, which is much like a mini cartomizer.
Coil heads do not come with any warranty, please see our coil policy here

ALTEMIA is our proprietary product candidate that is being developed for the treatment of sickle cell anemia. ALTEMIA consists of a complex proprietary mixture of fatty acid ethyl esters formulated using Advanced Lipid Technologies® (ALT®) specifically to address the treatment of SCA. The drug is encapsulated in a small soft gelatin capsule and intended to be taken once daily. As early as 1991, it was suggested that certain fatty acids decrease the destruction of red blood cells in mammals. It also has been found that sickle cell patients have abnormal blood fatty acids in red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. These findings led to the hypothesis that certain fatty acids might be useful in the treatment of SCA. In 2001, a small human clinical trial showed that certain fatty acids could reduce pain episodes in sickle cell patients, perhaps by reducing activity that leads to obstructive blood clotting. Other studies have shown that certain fatty acids can increase hemoglobin levels and reduce pain episodes, VOC episodes, anemia, organ damage and other disease complications in sickle cell patients.

Very good 8,0 From 1 880 reviews
Beautiful and clean and perfect licatuin. Staff wer fab.. really went out of their way to accommodate us in all our needs. Will definitely recomend and will return.
The hotel does not offer anything in the way of amenities, but is clean, friendly, perfectly situated, and well serviced.
Great place have stayed before and will stay again
Not a good experience. They did not give me the drink credits they list for being a gold member. I asked to change our room because our view was literally an alley with garbage bins right out our window, and they gave me a real hard time about it. They asked " what are you looking for" i ssid not this, and i showed a pic a took from the room. I asked for a times square view they offered through email and they said they dont offer that even though i showed them the email. The best they could fo was a street view. The room did not have robes as listed and were never provided.
1st trip to New York and it was a family trip. This hotel is in a Very nice location. Room was clean and the size was adequate for the 4 of us. Multiple food choices as soon as you walk out of the hotel. You can walk to Times Square in about 2 minutes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Just park vehicle in parking garage (garage will park the vehicle for you) located right beside of the hotel, let parking garage know your hotel name and you pay when you check out. Hotel is dated a bit but still very nice. We would definitely book this room again if we go back to New York.

Due giorni prima opera di notte, Gozo Channel Co Ltd, l'unico operatore servizio di traghetto tra Malta e Gozo ha appena annunciato la rinegoziazione dei viaggi di notte per accogliere i patroni d'opera maltesi che vorrebbero tornare a casa dopo lo spettacolo.
Aggiornato: 10 Ottobre 2014
INGLESE: In simple terms, the new ferry schedule reads as follows:
Ferry Service
From Gozo to Malta
Regularly scheduled 11.45pm trip from Gozo will be postponed to 00.15am. This means that there will be a good 30-minutes time for patrons to exit the theatre at the end of the opera, which is planned to finish at 11.15pm, and another good 30-minutes for patrons to reach their cars, drive and queue for the ferry.
From Malta to Gozo
Consequently, the regularly scheduled 00.20am trip from Malta will be postponed to 00.45am.
On behalf of its esteemed patrons, the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora would like to thank those involved in getting the rescheduling possible for their convenience, namely Gozo Channel Co. Ltd and the Ministry for Gozo.
Land Transport
Patrons are also reminded that the theatre is offering the free-of-charge coach transport in Gozo. It leaves Mġarr at 6.30pm (when the 6pm ferry from Malta arrives). Then it leaves the theatre, 30 minutes after the end of the opera performance, in time for the newly-rescheduled ferry service that leaves Gozo at 00.15pm. Prior booking by telephone or email is recommended and accepted until Friday October 10th.
Patrons using their vehicles in Gozo, are reminded that no parking is allowed in front of the theatre, but ample parking space is provided in the Public Parking that is situated less than 100m away from the theatre's rear entrance.
Foreigners booking taxi service in Malta to and from the ferry, are kindly informed that a taxi drive should last between 30 and 40 minutes from central Malta, and they need to plan their arrival at the ferry terminal at least 5 minutes before departure time. A taxi service at night should be booked at 00.45am, which is the time when the ferry service arrives back in Ċirkewwa Malta.
Dining in Gozo
The opera Il Trovatore contains 3 breaks – a first and third breaks that last only 10 minutes, and a middle break of 30 minutes, during which one may use the bar on the ground floor. However, it is to be assumed that no full meals will be served. Therefore, patrons are suggested to book/plan their meals either in advance or after the show.
An early dinner should start around 5.15pm, so that by 6.30pm patrons would be on their way to the theatre. A late dinner should be booked not before 11.30pm. Patrons acquainted with Gozitan catering establishments are encouraged to enquire at their own leisure. However, the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora may recommend the following:
Maldonado Restaurant – 10 minutes walk from the theatre. Available for early dinner and late dinner. Booking is recommended via the Maldonado website.
Hotel Calypso – 10 minutes by car from the theatre. Patrons are requested to inquire about the availability by telephone or by visiting the Hotel Calypso website.
Hotel Xlendi – 10 minutes by car from the theatre. Late dinner is available. Other services like hairdressing and make-up services on the day, and late breakfast on the next morning are available for residents. Patrons are requested to enquire by telephone or by visiting the Hotel Xlendi website.
At the Theatre
Those arriving before 6.30pm are encouraged to mingle. Those who need to collect their tickets from our box office the officer, Mr Schembri, will be at his desk. Early pick-up of your tickets would be greatly appreciated.
Patrons are requested to start checking-in their tickets as from 6.30pm onwards. Adequate signs will indicate the proper entry points. Given the high density of people entering the theatre at the same time, the passenger lift will be at the service of the most needy. Therefore, everyone is kindly requested to collaborate with the theatre personnel for the use of the lift. The main auditorium and hall boxes are at level 1, lower boxes at level 2, middle boxes at level 3 and upper tiers at level 4.
Patrons with seats in the stalls and hall boxes (auditorium) are to proceed to the main entry point that is by the main staircase. Patrons with seats in the lower and middle boxes, balconies and upper gallery are to proceed to the lateral entry point, in the billiard hall on the left-hand side of the main entrance.
Student-ticket holders are kindly reminded that their student-tickets need to be accompanied with valid student-identification documents at the check-in gate. Otherwise, patrons have to top-up and pay the full amount in order to be granted access. As such an eventuality is likely to cause unwarranted delays, it is greatly appreciated should student-ticket holders collaborate in advance and adhere to these policies.

Notting Hill Carnival radiates good times as it kicks off in style
- Getty Images
The Notting Hill Carnival kicked off in radiant style yesterday as hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets around Portobello and Ladbroke Grove. Fears of rain and a damp squib were swiftly banished as the sun beamed down on the festivities at Europe's largest street party.
The relentless gentrification of the old West Indian area is more or less complete now with the likes of David Cameron and his advisors in residence. This has of course taken its toll on the character and authenticity of the event as it's edge has been slowly blunted and as absurdly paranoid police tactics shut people enjoying themselves down ever earlier, there is no doubt that carnival is not quite what it once was.
And yet, for all that – there is still nothing like it. Calypso grooves and rainbow creativity burst through the streets in a wave of celebration as costumes of all shapes, sizes and degrees of plumage welcomed in the families on Children's Day. The parade rang out with steel drums and peals of laughter as revellers settled in for a day of jerk chicken, Red Stripe and Good Times.
Sunday is traditionally Carnival's calmer day as families are encouraged to take to the streets and 'dem yout dem' are encouraged to stay at home, at least until today where the volume will dial up and the urban vibes will come sizzling out.
Scotland Yard said police made around 70 arrests - mainly for drugs offences - while London Ambulance Service and St John Ambulance treated more than 300 people for cuts and bruises to their feet and alcohol-related injuries. A spokesman said 45 were taken to hospital.
Despite the racially tinged frowns eternally cracked out by the right wing press as they quote the crime statistics – these figures are astonishingly low for such a huge event. Once we have the arrest reports from Henley and Glyndebourne which mysteriously go unreported, we may be able to see just how safe, inclusive and wonderful an event Carnival really is.

Couples - Keo-peul-jeu
<p>Couples, a glittering South Korean remake of Kenji Uchida's 2005 Japanese hit (and NYAFF crowd-pleaser) A Stranger of Mine, starts with the most unhappy man in the universe: Yoo-Suk (Kim Joo-Hyuk, In Love and War). He's mortgaged himself to the hilt buying a posh condominium for bride-to-be Na-Ri (Lee Si-Young), only for her to vanish with nothing but a text message promising to send for her belongings. He's hired a private eye to track her down, but his tea shop ("We do not serve coffee.") is going under, his house is a white elephant, and his heart can't get over Nari. And he's just been conned in an auto insurance scam and been caught up in a bank robbery where he is accused of sexually harassing a fellow hostage. Fortunately, pretty traffic cop Ae-Yeon (Lee Yoon-Ji) is on his side. But just when Yoo-Suk looks ready to start moving on with the right woman, Na-Ri swoops back into his life. But wait! Na-Ri's on the run from Byung-Chan (Gong Hyung-Jin), an aging thug who just wants to stop cutting off people's fingers and settle down. You think you know what's coming next, but trust us: you have no idea.
Romance, action, adventure, noir—it's a screwball orgy of tropes, types and timelines that can't be tamed, only unleashed. With about a half-dozen potential couples in the film, multiple criss-crossing timelines and a resolutely non-linear narrative, it subverts conventional expectations at every turn. If William Burroughs' cut-up technique was used to make a screwball Hollywood comedy in the 1930s, it might have turned out something like this. And while Lee Si-Young steals the film as Na-Ri, a guileless gold digger who would make the ladies of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes blush, Gong Hyung-Jin is truly touching as the gentle brute who doesn't care that she's a thief, as long as she's his thief.
Life is bizarre, and Couples aims to show exactly how bizarre it can get. Sometimes diamonds turn out to be cubic zirconias and neither of you can pay the bill, but with a little luck, you just might find the only other left-handed person in Seoul who prefers tea to coffee. Couples is a gorgeous, delirious romcom the way only South Korea can do it.

Jack London at Utah State University: Introduction
Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. London's ties to California are well known, but his relationship to Utah and this institution is much less apparent. Such an improbable connection begs the question, "How did London's papers end up at Utah State University?"
The answer involves the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. The two began corresponding extensively in the early 1960s when they agreed to coedit a compilation of London's correspondence entitled, Letters from Jack London (1965).
During the course of his research, Hendricks gathered a fairly extensive collection of typed transcriptions and photocopies of London correspondence, but in a letter to Shepard dated April 2, 1963, he indicated USU's interest in purchasing some original materials from the estate. He was particularly interested in the first edition London novels that the author inscribed to his second wife, Charmian. Shepard agreed to the sale, and in 1964 the university was able to buy the books thanks to a gift from an anonymous donor.
After this initial purchase, USU received the remainder of its London collection through a series of four donations from Shepard on behalf of the London estate. The first gift came in 1964 and included over 400 books from Charmian's library, typescripts of London's short stories, and other items. Another accession came in 1966, which consisted of the Tramp diary, a logbook from the Snark, and two magazine sales books. From 1967 to 1968, USU received Shepard's third donation, which contained family and business correspondence, as well as notable items such as London's wills, his Russo-Japanese War correspondent notebook, and the Sinclair Lewis plots. Shepard donated the fourth and final accession in 1971, which mainly included correspondence to and from both Jack and Charmian. The only other items added to the collection were a letter from Jack to his collaborator and alleged lover Anna Strunsky, purchased by USU in the late 1970s, and a collection of published articles bought in 2011.
Today, USU's Jack and Charmian London Collection is open to all researchers—student, hobbyist, or professional—who want to learn more about London's life and works through the study of original documents, many of which were penned in the author's own hand.
