THORNVILLE – Mayor Gavin Renner said that as a village resident he "feels the pain" that residents will feel due to higher costs for water and sewer service.
He pledged that council members would carefully consider the changes. "Our solicitor is currently working on an ordinance that has yet to be brought before council," so changes won't happen until next year.
The ordinance takes away the 2,000 gallons of "free" water ($1.15) and sewer ($5) use rates. The $40 monthly charge per customer to repay the OWDA loan will be reduced to $38. However, that OWDA repayment fee and the $3 monthly storm sewer charge would now be charged to all households regardless of whether their water is turned on or not. "Please note that these are not finalized and may or may not reflect what, if anything, is actually passed," said Renner.
The mayor predicted these changes won't be pushed quickly through council because they need to be understood and discussed since they impact all village customers. Northern Perry County customers are not affected.
Proposed ordinances must be read at three separate meetings unless council members specifically waive the rule. A specific public haring on the rate increases is also planned.
Renner said the public hearing gives council members an opportunity to hear from residents on the proposed changes. "We will take steps to post meetings in a timely manner for this issue so residents are aware of when council will be deliberating the rates and be able to voice their concerns," said Renner.
Thornville Administrator Beth Patrick said a public hearing would likely be held at the Thornville Elementary School at a date to be announced. "This is so everyone can have their voices heard," she said. "Council's doing a good job looking at the impact to the residents. We haven't gotten to the first reading stage (of an ordinance) yet. We will have a public hearing and do the full three readings."
Renner said RCAP was asked to do at a water/sewer rate analysis in 2011. Their report identified projected operational and replacement costs that must be addressed in the next few years. Plus Renner said a financial reserve would make the village more attractive from a loan/grant standpoint.
"The RCAP report didn't take into account that we have a few more households on the system now," said Renner. "Additionally, it didn't take into account that the village has a 20 percent carryover policy for every fund that we operate. This carryover policy and under-spending on a yearly basis has resulted in a balance in both water and sewer accounts that's only sufficient enough for emergencies and not enough for a significant replacement effort."
Renner continued, "We've been working on appropriations legislation over the past month." He said the legislation is currently going through readings and will have a public hearing at council's Dec. 10 meeting. It has a few changes to reduce the amount of pressure on the water/sewer budgets. "One change is we're moving the police salaries and benefits out of water and sewer to place them into the general fund and police levy funds. This is a $17,000 shift."
Emergency repair amounts remain the same. "Generally emergency money doesn't get used unless there is a problem," said Renner. "We've been lucky and haven't had any major issues." The village is struggling with the ultraviolet treatment equipment at the sewer plant. Normally this is a $125,000 replacement cost. "However, our water, sewer operators have a plan to rebuild what we have. Hopefully, this will mean we only spend $20,000 to fix the problem and can still meet testing standards for bacteria," he said.
Village streets also need repairs. Renner said Ohio 204 and Ohio 188 will likely be repaved in 2013 by the state. "We intend to plan a regular schedule of repairs moving forward. If residents can help us identify issues that would be great," he said. "We'd also like to identify grants that the village can qualify for."

Terrasse de l'Opéra
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
The summer terrace of the Opéra restaurant, set up on the big square behind the monument – 1,500 square metres at the heart of Opéra Garnier, divided into five smaller areas equipped with lights, speakers and heaters. As long as you can afford it, it's the perfect way to enjoy the building without been seen from the street. There are simple red chairs on artificial grass, lounge chairs and low tables, banquettes and parasols.
Chef-barman Judicaël Noel has created a refreshing range of cocktails and fresh fruit smoothies just for summer: peach, banana, pear, orange, pineapple, raspberry and strawberry flavours. The theatre menu includes salmon, salads, focaccia and home made ice cream. On weekend evenings, Paris's bright young things come here for a drink, while DJs man the turntables until 3am.

I don't mean to call you simple, Aries. But yo mamma so stupid she thought she needed a token to get on the Soul Train. Oh, there we go. It's so fun to watch that vein pop out of your neck. Ewww, there it is. Not so hot. Calm down, Aries, I don't even know your mother... although I hear she's averaging a 1.7 on hotornot.com. See, there you go again. I kid because it's fun, though I must say you make it way too easy. O to be an innocent Aries. Born under the first house, you are but an infant beginning your twelve journeys through life. Like an infant, your needs are pretty basic and you have a simple way of articulating them: screaming at the top of your lungs. You do it if you've skipped your lunch or had to work through your nap; when you've discovered that your paunch has ballooned from a 36" to 38"; when your favorite contestant gets kicked off Project Runway; at the grocery store when the guavas aren't looking too fresh. People who wish they could have remained innocent babes forever have clearly never seen you loose it in the produce aisle of your local food co-op.

For durability, ease of maintenance, and sleek sophistication, nothing beats the many virtues of glass.
A longtime favorite for desk and table tops, glass is now gaining in popularity as a countertop surface. And, with its simple elegance, it can complement almost any type of home decor.
Glass left clear will go with any color scheme, or, one side can be painted to match or contrast with a room's predominant color. Etching or sandblasting, curving or beveling the edges, will also lend visual interest to the application.
Glass is generally manufactured in rectangular sheets anywhere from 1/4 to 1 inch in thickness. Artisanal glass is hand- and custom-made to specification. During installation, glass can be easily cut to accommodate any configuration.
Though glass can chip or even break with a large enough impact, its virtues are that it is impervious to heat and stains, making it a good choice for both kitchens and baths. However, it can scratch, and it is difficult to keep free of fingermarks, which even clean hands can leave. In addition, though cleaning up messes is easy, any residual water left on the surface can leave permanent water marks.

In early February 1976, two French Foreign Legion units were involved in an important hostage rescue mission in Loayada, a small village situated at the border between today's Djibouti and Somalia, in the Horn of Africa. Their objective was to save 31 French children kidnapped by local militants from a pan-Somali guerrilla organization supported by the Somali government. Although the Foreign Legion conducted such an exceptional anti-terrorist mission for the very first time, the legionnaires did well.
Prelude to the mission
In 1896, France officially established French Somaliland. The territory was an important, strategic place in the Horn of Africa, a gate to the Red Sea with the Suez Canal. In 1960, neighboring Somalia (then a British colony) gained its independence. The new state laid claim to French Somaliland. Three years later, in 1963, a new guerrilla organization was created: Somali Coast Liberation Front (FLCS). Their proclaimed goal was to liberate French Somaliland and connect it to Somalia. The organization was sponsored by the new Somali government.
In 1967, French Somaliland was officially renamed the French Territory of Afars and Issas (TFAI). Three years later, in 1970, the FLCS launched its first terrorist attack (bombing a bar in Djibouti, the capital of TFAI). Between 1974-75, violent demonstrations for independence occurred in the TFAI. They were organized by the FLCS militants. In 1975, the same organization kidnapped a French ambassador in Somalia to be exchanged later for two imprisoned FLCS militants.
On December 31, 1975, pre-negotiations regarding the independence of the TFAI were held in Paris between French and TFAI officials. On January 30, 1976, TFAI officials made a formal complaint to the Organization of African Unity against Somalia. They asked Somali government to change their "negative and obstructionist" attitude towards the TFAI.
3rd February 1976: 31 French children kidnapped
In the morning of the 3rd February 1976, a military bus driven by 19-year-old soldier Jean-Michel Dupont left Air Base 188, a French military air base situated within the Ambouli International Airport of Djibouti, the capital of TFAI. On board with him, 31 children of French servicemen serving there.
– 07.15 AM (07:15), the bus was attacked and hijacked
– by four armed FLCS militants dressed up as women
– they ordered the bus driver to go to Loyada
– a small village located on the TFAI-Somalia border
– located some 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Djibouti
– the only official border crossing with Somalia
The militants with the hijacked bus had to pass a checkpoint on the 14-km-long (9 miles) barbed wire barrier surrounding the whole capital (since 1966). The checkpoint was ocuppied by a platoon of the French Motorized Gendarmerie (GM), led by Adjudant Viard. The kidnappers fired at the gendarmes. The platoon informed their officers about the incident and pursued the bus.
– around 07.45 AM (07:45), the bus arrived at Loyada
– there, the militants were confronted by legionnaires
– from the 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion (13e DBLE)
– a unit stationed in the TFAI since 1962
– the legionnaires operated a checkpoint there
– the militants and legionnaires negotiated
– then an order arrived from French officials
– the bus was allowed to park in no man's land
– between the French and Somali territory
– only a few dozens of meters from the Somali border outpost
– the demands of the FLCS militants were:
- to free all imprisoned FLCS members
- to annul a planned referendum in the TFAI
- to end the French rule over the TFAI
- if not, they will kill all the children
Legionnaires + GIGN alerted
The French officials reacted quickly. French Foreign legionnaires stationed in the TFAI were put on alert. This goes for the 13e DBLE, a unit permanently garrisoned in the TFAI at the time.
Besides the 13e DBLE, also the 13e DBLE's company team (called Rotational Company) being formed with a combat company of the well-known 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (2e REP), rotating every four months. At the time, it was the 2nd Company, 2e REP, led by Captain Soubirou and having been deployed to the TFAI since December 1975.
Moreover, the GIGN (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) was alerted in France. A counter-terrorist elite police tactical unit nowadays, the GIGN in 1976 was a relatively small unit. It was activated in 1974 to be specialized in sensitive hostage situations. For the unit, the Loyada mission was their very first operation conducted outside France. The GIGN received an order to depart to the TFAI immediately.
In the evening, another Foreign Legion unit was alerted. The Foreign Legion Task Force (GOLE), a battalion-seized intervention force organized in Corsica in 1971. In 1972, the force became part of the reactivated 2e RE (future 2e REI). The GOLE received an order to deploy to the TFAI.
Legionnaires: Arriving at Loyada and preparation
The 2nd Company, 2e REP left the capital for Loyada. In the afternoon, the company was reinforced by Reconnaissance Squadron (ER) of the 13e DBLE, equipped with Panhard AML armored cars. Two snipers from 1st Company, 13e DBLE completed the legionnaires present.
The paratroopers from the 2nd Company, 2e REP entrenched themselves in a palm grove situated some 270 yards (250 m) from the bus. The two 13e DBLE snipers were placed in an outpost of the local Autonomous Nomad Group (Groupement Nomade Autonome, GNA), a pro-French police unit consisting of local volunteers and French leaders. A group of 2e REP legionnaires were placed next to the outpost.
The GNA outpost was located at the same distance from the bus as the palm grove. The 13e DBLE squadron and their AMLs waited some 550 yards (500 m) behind the GNA outpost.
In the afternoon, a female social assistant serving with 13e DBLE legionnaires at their military base voluntarily joined the children in the bus.
4th February 1976: Rescue mission
General Pierre Brasart took the command of the rescue mission. A former airborne commando, he served as the Chief of the TFAI French Armed Forces at that time. His HQ at Loyada was established in the same palm grove as the position of the 2nd Company, 2e REP.
A team of snipers from the GIGN, arriving in the TFAI in the early morning, joined the mission. The team consisted of nine men – eight snipers led by Lieutenant Prouteau (the creator of the GIGN unit and its first commander). The GIGN snipers positioned themselves some 90 yards (80 m) in front of the 2e REP legionnaires.
Having been stationed at Loyada since the morning of the 3rd February, the platoon of the Motorized Gendarmerie (GM) led by Adjudant Viard completed the French forces present. Equipped with the same AMLs as the 13e DBLE squadron, the motorized gendarmes stayed behind the GNA outpost, some 900 yards (800 m) from the bus.
Somali Army troops took a position behind the barbed wire on the Somali side of the border. They were equipped with weapons, including machine guns, aimed at French positions. An unspecified number of FLCS militants were also present on the Somali side of the border.
4th February 1976: Rescue operation
The French waited for a moment, when all militants in the bus would be up and visible. Then a GIGN team could shoot them without the danger of revenge on children. However, the militants in the bus were reinforced at night.
– 03.45 PM (15:45) – an order to rescue the children
– GIGN snipers shot a co-ordinated fire to eliminate the kidnappers
– in response to that, Somali machine guns opened fire
– that was the signal for Legion paratroopers
– 2e REP legionnaires launched a frontal attack
– the legionnaires run forward under fire
– simultaneously, 13e DBLE AMLs darted forward
– both units were designated to eliminate the Somali gunfire
– two 2e REP groups sized the border, one group sized the bus
– the Somali machine guns were eliminated by 13e DBLE AMLs fire
– the GM platoon moved to the GNA outpost to be waiting there
– 04.05 PM (16:05) – the rescue operation was finished
1976 Loyada Rescue mission: Results
All militants kidnapping the childern were killed. Other militants reinforcing them at night + at least one Somali troop opening fire at French positions and at legionnaires freeing the children in the bus were eliminated too. However, a small girl was killed by a gun burst and five children were wounded. Two of them seriously. A boy was missed.
– 7 Somali FLCS militants killed
– 1 Somali soldier killed (a French official statement)
– Somali officials later stated that 6 Somali servicemen were killed during the attack
– 20 Somali troops and militants (on the Somali side) wounded
– 1 girl (Nadine Durand, aged 5) was killed
– she was killed by a militant's gun burst while running to the driver
– 5 childern were wounded (2 of them seriously)
– the driver + female assistant were also wounded
– the driver was shot by the same gun burst as the small girl
– his left leg was almost cut off
– he never recovered and became disabled
– Lieutenant Doucet was seriously wounded
– he was the then commander of 1st Platoon, 2nd Company, 2e REP
– 1 boy (Frank Rutkowski, aged 7) was kidnapped to Somalia
– he was released a few days later
– Valérie Geissbuhler (aged ??) was among those two seriously wounded kids
- this little girl was a granddaughter of a former legionnaire of German origin
- she was sent quickly to France to the hospital in Paris
- nevertheless, a few days later, she died from her injuries
- she became the second and last victim of the kidnapping
- on February 13, she was buried at Aubagne
- the town of Aubagne (southern France) is the main garrison of the Legion
1976 Loyada Rescue mission: Aftermath
The 1976 Loyada Rescue mission was the first such serious anti-terrorist mission for both, GIGN and legionnaires. Despite the fact, the gendarmes and legionnaires did well and the mission is seen as successful.
The wounded children were transported to France to the hospital in Paris.
The wounded Lieutenant Doucet was also sent to Paris to be hospitalized there.
In Corsica, the depart of the GOLE (planned on February 4) was postponed. The legionnaires left Corsica the next day, on February 5. Unfortunately, an accident happened to them in the TFAI in May 1976: 1976 Djibouti helicopter crash, forgotten in France nowadays.
For next weeks, the 13e DBLE legionnaires were protecting the military buses carrying French children to the school in Djibouti.
In 2016, the kidnapped children founded an association, called The Forgotten of Loyada (Les oubliés de Loyada). They blame French officials for being never recognized officially as victims of terrorism.

Lake City is located in a sparsely populated alpine area of Western Colorado. Situated at nearly 9,000 feet elevation, the town is nestled in the steep San Juan Mountains, which include four wilderness areas where motorized vehicles are prohibited: Uncompahgre, Powderhorn, La Garita and the Weminuche. Within these rugged peaks, there are six mountains over 14,000-foot elevation and hundreds of lakes, rivers and public lands where camping and RVing are allowed.
Fish and Camp at Lake San Cristobal
As the second largest natural lake in Colorado, Lake San Cristobal is an icy cold fishing lake which was formed seven hundred years ago when an earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide occurred and blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Many species of trout are stocked at this lake and fishing is allowed along most of the shore. Primitive camping is available at Wupperman Campground, a county-owned camping area with lakefront tent and RV sites. There are campsites of varying length and all feature picnic tables and fire grills. There is also trash service, vault toilets and a public dump station.
Jeep the Trails Along Williams Creek
Thousands of acres of public lands surrounding Lake City have resulted in a number of U.S. Forest Service Campgrounds being built in the area, including Williams Creek Campground. This 23-site, RV-friendly campground is located on Cinnamon Pass Road. This is a popular area for off-road jeep enthusiasts who travel the Alpine Loop, a National Scenic Byway traversing over 12,000-foot mountain peaks that connects Lake City with Silverton and Ouray. Williams Creek Campground features trash service, piped in water, picnic tables, fire rings and vault toilets.
Relax by the River at Henson Creek RV Park
Lake City was an active mining region in the late 1800s, and is now a designated National Historic District. There are a select number of family owned campgrounds near town, including Henson Creek RV Park. This shady campground is located on Henson Creek and is close to the Alpine Loop Trail, hiking and biking paths. There are 28 campsites with full hookups and cable television. The park also has coin-operated laundry facilities, wireless Internet and restrooms with showers on the premises. Seasonal discounts are offered between May and October, and reservations are strongly advised since many park guests reserve their sites at least one year ahead.
Enjoy Small Town Living at Elkhorn RV Park
Elkhorn RV Park is the only campground located in the downtown area. Previously named T. Bear's RV Resort, the new owners present complimentary coffee and breakfast bread each morning to guests. This newly refurbished park offers easy walking access to riverside fishing spots and Lake City entertainment which includes restaurants, museums, parks and playgrounds, a movie theater and ice cream store. Pets are welcome at this 22-site park which includes full hookups with 30 or 50-amp electricity, wireless Internet and cable TV, restrooms with showers and guest laundry services. Extended stay discounts are offered during the tourist season of May through October.
Find Solitude Atop the Slumgullion Pass
The Slumgullion Pass is where the earthflow that created Lake San Cristobal began. Today travelers can drive this steep mountain area which has the steepest grade of any continuously paved road in Colorado. This region is also known as Cannibal Plateau, which is where the 1870s prospector and mountain guide Alfred Packer allegedly cannibalized the prospecting team he was guiding in the mountains, after the team was caught in a blizzard. Each year, Lake City remembers Packer by hosting an annual Alfred Packer Jeep Tour and Barbecue. Camping atop Slumgullion Pass consists of two RV-friendly alpine and streamside campgrounds, Slumgullion and Deer Lakes, as well as tent-only campgrounds; Hidden Valley, Spruce and Cebola Creek. These U.S. Forest Service campsites feature picnic tables, fire grills and vault toilets but only Slumgullion and Deer Lakes have piped-in water.

Some cases of wrongful deaths, the victims and or beneficiaries may be entitled to a form of compensation for their loss.
Most wrongful death lawsuits shadow in the wake of criminal trials, using similar evidence but with a lower standard of proof. Nevertheless, someone found liable for wrongful death may or may not be convicted of a crime associated with that death.
What is a wrongful death investigation?
Not all wrongful death investigations start as such, in some cases, an investigator will be conducting another investigation such as homicide, crime scene or accident investigation, personal investigator or product investigation only to discover evidence pointing to wrongful death. At this point, the investigator may share and discuss his findings with the victims surviving family or family attorney so that they can pursue whatever legal action they decide is appropriate.

Mountrath woman found snake under bed
A QUIET neighbourhood in Mountrath was somewhat rattled last week, when a woman discovered a three and a half foot snake under her bed.
Margaret O'Brien, of Fr O'Connor Crescent, bent down to pick up what she thought was a children's toy sticking out from under the bed last Monday, but she got the fright of her life when the orange and brown striped tail suddenly moved. Her son, Michael explained to the Leinster Express that Margaret had just had family members staying with her for a couple of days and she entered the spare room at the front of the house.
"She thought it was a kid's toy, like the tail of a Tigger teddy bear, but when she bent down to pick it up it disappeared under the bed. It was a big fright," said Michael.
Understandably shaken, Margaret rang both Michael and her daughter's boyfriend. The lads managed to bag the snake with the use of a long poker and they called the gardaí, although the guards admitted they weren't sure what to do with the reptile and they suggested waiting until morning before bringing it to a pet shop.
"Someone said there was a vacant house nearby where there were pet snakes, so the letting agent came down and went in," Michael continued. "The fellow who lived there had left and there were three or four snakes in the house and some terrapins. The house wasn't in great condition," he added.
The snakes were being kept in a glass box but a door had been left open and the slithery escapee managed to make its way up to the O'Brien household. Having bagged the snake, the men returned it to the glass box and waited for the gardaí and the LSPCA to arrive. Eventually the man renting the house returned and collected the animals. It is understood he was in the process of moving house and had been absent from the premises for a couple of weeks. While there was obvious concern among local residents, Conor Dowling, chief inspector with the ISPCA, said the snake was not dangerous and there were no animal welfare issues with the property.
"It was a Corn Snake. It could give you a bite but there would be no real damage," Mr Dowling said, adding that other breeds present in the house were a California King Snake and a Ball Python. He explained that the terrapins were removed from the property and brought somewhere more suitable, but the snakes remain with their owner.

So I have had a lot of fun doing my lights portraits and although I won't be stopping I will be developing this concept pushing away from just the upper body shots that I'm oh so comfortable with and looking to get more creative….frustratingly I have had quite a few shoots recently but paid work is taken priority and I'm desperate to share some of my new work with you all!
Until then…. here is a beautiful image of the lovely Klaudia whom I met up with last week, just to discover her sister was actually a friend of mine and I was completely oblivious!
Thanks for the wonderful shoot…we'll be going out again soon! ✨

Your STEINWAY SPIRIO comes with an iPad offering intuitive and user-friendly operation. A simple touch is all it takes to bring your SPIRIO to life. The app gives you access to thousands of songs and takes you on a journey through the wonderful world of piano music. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the unique Steinway sound.

Length: 180 cm
Width: 146.5 cm

SPIRIO transports every nuance and the true passion of the artist by employing a special software to measure the speed of the hammers (up to 1,020 dynamic increments at a rate of up to 800 signals per second). The software is also used for the damper and soft pedals (up to 256 pedal positions at a rate of up to 100 signals per second). Videos of historic recordings are made possible thanks to the so-called Zenph technology.
Every month, we inform SPIRIO owners with our Spotlight which new songs they can look forward to. And those are only the highlights of a truly enormous library!

The M101 supernova is still near its peak. Supernova 2011fe, which erupted in the nearby galaxy M101 three weeks ago, peaked out at about magnitude 9.9 for a week and is now barely starting to fade; it was 10.2 on the evening of September 19th. See an up-to-date light curve.
You'll almost certainly be using the supernova to find M101, not the other way around; the galaxy (off the handle of the Big Dipper) is diffuse and easily wiped out by any skyglow. To identify which tiny speck is the supernova, use the comparison-star charts that you can generate courtesy of the American Association of Variable Star Observers. Enter the star name SN 2011fe, and choose the "predefined chart scales" A, B, and C. Print out all three. The two brightest stars on the "A" chart are the last two stars in the the Big Dipper's handle.
This is the brightest supernova that's been visible from mid-northern latitudes in three decades. It's well within visual reach of a 4-inch scope. Although it looks like an ordinary star, it's at least 1,000 times more distant than any other star that's visible in amateur telescopes from northern latitudes. See our article, The M101 Supernova Shines On.

Want to become a better amateur astronomer? Learn your way around the constellations. They're the key to locating everything fainter and deeper to hunt with binoculars or a telescope.
For an easy-to-use constellation guide covering the whole evening sky, use the big monthly map in the center of each issue of Sky & Telescope, the essential magazine of astronomy. Or download our free Getting Started in Astronomy booklet (which only has bimonthly maps).
Once you get a telescope, to put it to good use you must have a detailed, large-scale sky atlas (set of charts). The standards are the Pocket Sky Atlas, which shows stars to magnitude 7.6; the larger Sky Atlas 2000.0 (stars to magnitude 8.5); and the even larger and deeper Uranometria 2000.0 (stars to magnitude 9.75). And read how to use sky charts effectively.
You'll also want a good deep-sky guidebook, such as Sue French's new Deep-Sky Wonders collection, Sky Atlas 2000.0 Companion by Strong and Sinnott, the bigger Night Sky Observer's Guide by Kepple and Sanner, or the classic if dated Burnham's Celestial Handbook.
Can a computerized telescope take their place? I don't think so — not for beginners, anyway, and especially not on mounts that are less than top-quality mechanically. As Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer say in their Backyard Astronomer's Guide, "A full appreciation of the universe cannot come without developing the skills to find things in the sky and understanding how the sky works. This knowledge comes only by spending time under the stars with star maps in hand."
This Week's Planet Roundup
Mercury (about magnitude –1.5) is sinking down deep into the glow of sunrise. Early in the week you can try looking for it low in the east about 30 minutes before sunup. Binoculars help. It's very far below or lower left of Mars, Castor, and Pollux. Don't confuse it with twinkly Regulus, well to its upper right.
(To find your local time of sunrise, you can use our online almanac for your location. If you're on daylight saving time, make sure the Daylight Saving Time box is checked.)
Venus (magnitude –3.9) may be catchable in binoculars just above the horizon due west a mere 15 minutes after sunset. Good luck. If you detect it, you'll be one of a very select few to pick up Venus this early in its new apparition — compared to the billions of people who will see it as the Evening Star blazing in twilight as it moves higher in the coming months.
Mars (magnitude +1.3, crossing from Gemini into Cancer) rises around 2 a.m. daylight saving time. By the beginning of dawn it's in good view high in the east, below or lower right of Castor and Pollux. Farther right of Mars is Procyon. Much farther lower right of Procyon shines bright Sirius. In a telescope, Mars is a tiny blob only 5 arcseconds wide.
Jupiter (magnitude –2.8, in southern Aries) rises in the east-northeast around the end of twilight. Look above it for the stars of Aries and (once Jupiter is well up) closer below it for the head of Cetus, rather dim. Jupiter shines highest in the south in the hours before dawn, making this the best time to examine it with a telescope. It's now a big 47 arcseconds wide.
Saturn (magnitude +0.9) is disappearing for the season. Use binoculars to search for it low above the western horizon in bright twilight after sunset (upper left of even-lower Venus). Left of Saturn by 8°, look for Spica twinkling vigorously.
Uranus (magnitude 5.7, in Pisces) and Neptune (magnitude 7.8, in Aquarius) are well placed in the south and southeast by mid- to late evening. Use our printable finder chart for both, or see the September Sky & Telescope, page 53.
All descriptions that relate to your horizon — including the words up, down, right, and left — are written for the world's mid-northern latitudes. Descriptions that also depend on longitude (mainly Moon positions) are for North America. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) equals Universal Time (also known as UT, UTC, or GMT) minus 4 hours.
NEW BOOK: Sue French's DEEP-SKY WONDERS! This long-awaited observing guide by Sky & Telescope's own Sue French is now available for pre-order from Shop at Sky. Big and lavishly illustrated, it contains Sue's 100 favorite sky tours (25 per season) from her 11 years of writing the Celestial Sampler and Deep-Sky Wonders columns for S&T.

Google Unveils Plans to Build Super-fast Undersea Cable From U.S. to Asia
The ties that bind Google to Asia are about to get a bit deeper, literally.
Google has announced plans to build a new undersea cable called FASTER in partnership with five Asia-based telecom companies.
Included in the consortium are NEC, KDDI, China Telecom Global, SingTel, China Mobile International and Global Transit, essentially the region's largest telecom players. When finished, the cable will be capable of delivering speeds of up to 60 terabytes per second.
"[S]ometimes the fastest path requires going through an ocean," said Urs Hölzle, SVP of technical infrastructure at Google, on his Google+ page. "That's why we're investing in FASTER, a new undersea cable that will connect major West Coast cities in the US to two coastal locations in Japan ... FASTER will make the internet, well, faster and more reliable for our users in Asia."
Scheduled to be ready by the second quarter of 2016, the project will cost $300 million to deploy and will reach from locations in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco to Shima and Chikura in southeastern Japan.
Google's efforts to increase its reach in Asia are in line with global trends. According to recent studies, Asia has the largest number of Internet users on the planet.
However, China remains a sore spot for Google; China regularly blocks Google's services in a bid to control the flow of information in the country. The most recent incident came in June during the Tiananmen Square protest anniversary, leaving many users unable to access Google's search and email services.
After about a month of disruptions, users were once again able to access Google's services, but the ongoing interference from the Chinese authorities only highlighted the need for Google to find ways to enhance its ability to reach users in the region. It's unclear how this new line into Asia will impact Google's China access, but any boost to the company's reach into the region in general could have long-term benefits.
This latest project follows earlier, similar Asia collaborations in 2008 (Unity) and 2011 (South-East Asia Japan Cable, or SJC) focused on bolstering Google's network capability in partnership with several of the partners in FASTER.
"The FASTER cable system has the largest design capacity ever built on the Trans-Pacific route, which is one of the longest routes in the world," said Google's Woohyong Choi, who will serve as the chairman of the FASTER executive committee, in statement released by the group. "The agreement announced today will benefit all users of the global Internet."

DPP in Mauritius announces "fact finding commission" into McAreavey case
- Published
The Director of Public Prosecution in Mauritius Satyajit Boolell has told BBC Newsline there is to be an 'independent fact finding commission' into the Michaela McAreavey murder case.
The McAreaveys lawyer in Mauritius said the country had let the family down.
Her family are expected to fly back from Mauritius later after two men were found not guilty of her murder.
Avinash Treebhoowoon, 32, and Sandip Moneea, 43, both worked at the hotel where Mrs McAreavey was killed.
The 27-year-old teacher from Northern Ireland was killed on her honeymoon in January 2011.
Her relatives said words could not describe their "sense of devastation and desolation".
Michaela was the daughter of one of Ireland's best known sports figures, Mickey Harte, manager of the Tyrone Gaelic football team.
In a statement after the men were acquitted, the McAreavey and Harte families said: "Following the endurance of seven harrowing weeks of this trial there were no words which could describe the sense of devastation and desolation now felt by both families."
Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said the people of Ireland would not rest "until justice was done" for the Harte and McAreavey families.
Mr McGuinness also said that everyone stood shoulder to shoulder with her widower, John McAreavey.
The trial at the Supreme Court in Mauritius lasted more than seven weeks. It was initially expected to last two weeks but turned into one of the longest trials in Mauritian legal history.
The police and prosecution said Mrs McAreavey had been murdered after disturbing thieves in her room.
Thousands of mourners attended Michaela's funeral near her family home in Ballygawley, County Tyrone in January 2011.
The 27-year-old had married John McAreavey just 12 days before she was murdered, and was buried in her wedding dress.

In early 2015, when McDonald's announced that it would be hiring a new CEO, one of the biggest challenges facing the next boss was the criticism that the company—and, in particular, the menu—lacked focus. Franchise owners complained that the menu had grown too large and complex. And a big reason the menu had expanded significantly is that McDonald's seemed to be going to extraordinary lengths to woo younger, more health-minded customers with items like the McWrap.
The Premium McWrap arrived in 2013 as McDonald's much-hyped, supposedly healthy answer to Subway and Chipotle. It was in that same year, however, that McDonald's CEO Don Thomson told investors that salads sell poorly, constituting only 2% to 3% of U.S. sales.
Restaurant analysts were puzzled by the health initiative, which appeared to muddle McDonald's classic mission of providing cheap quick-serve burgers and fries. "They've gone so far afield from their core menu that they're not really resonating with anyone," Howard Penney, managing director at investment research firm Hedgeye Risk Management, explained to the Wall Street Journal a few years ago. "McDonald's is never going to be perceived as healthy, so for them to spend too much time on healthy items doesn't make a lot of sense to me."
Here are a handful of indications that McDonald's has been buying into this line of thinking lately, in which appealing to core customers is key, and health should pretty much be an afterthought. Judging by the recent strong performance of McDonald's stock and restaurant sales, the newfound focus is resonating well with the people it's trying to reach.
Unlimited French Fries
Declaring the menu option one key part of the "McDonald's of the future," the owner of a McDonald's franchise in St. Joseph, Missouri, announced that his restaurant will offer all-you-can-eat fries when it opens this summer. The restaurant has since clarified that unlimited fries will only be a limited-time promotion, but it would be surprising if we didn't see this option pop up in other McDonald's in the future.

Bigger Big Macs
Another test product in the works is a supersized Big Mac, dubbed the Grand Mac, priced at $4.89. It's packed with one-third of a pound of beef (compared to one-fifth of a pound for the regular Big Mac), as well as extra toppings and a larger bun. The Grand Mac is available for a limited time in 127 restaurants in central Ohio and the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in Texas. If it proves popular, customers should look for the gargantuan burger to go national.
No More Wraps
In mid-April, McDonald's pulled the plug on a product it had internally called the "Subway buster" because it was supposed to be the Golden Arches' answer to Subway's seemingly healthier fare. The McWrap was particularly unpopular with millennials, the demographic it was targeted to tempt, and wraps were extremely time-consuming to assemble compared to burgers. So executives decided to remove wraps from the menu three years after they were added.
Salad Clogged with Calories
Yes, McDonald's has even managed to make a kale salad unhealthy. Earlier this year, CBC News pointed out that a new salad featuring the buzziest of all greens actually has more calories, fat, and sodium than a Double Big Mac. In addition to kale, the salad comes with crispy chicken and Asiago Caesar dressing, packing in 730 calories, compared to 680 in the Double Big Mac.
All Day Breakfast
On the surface, it would seem that last fall's nationwide introduction of all-day breakfast to the menu would have no ill effect on the health of customers. Heck, offering breakfast all day might, in fact, improve nutrition as some of the menu choices are healthier than the typical burger and fries combo. Yet, as many fast food customers are prone to do, McDonald's breakfastarians may be overdoing things.

Sales of afternoon and late-night McMuffins have shot through the roof, indicating that customers aren't simply viewing breakfast items as alternatives to lunch or dinner options. Instead, they are eating McDonald's breakfast as a snack in addition to the usual three meals a day—meaning more fast food consumption overall. The company even noted that some customers treat the Egg McMuffin as an add-on side order, consumed on top of a combo meal.
So in a way, the old "Want fries with that?" question is being replaced, or supplemented with another query: "Want a McMuffin with that?"

This Guidance Document has been developed to support Country Offices and their development partners in promoting and facilitating effective youth participation, youth engagement and youth mainstreaming through country and regional programmes. Its purpose is to assist users in identifying and applying effective strategies to ensure that young people effectively participate in activities that directly impact on their lives.
The report helps users to integrate youth considerations into their current work and to measure the results of these interventions. Finally, it encourages adults working with youth to reflect upon the most effective ways to interact with youth as partners. Taking their cue from the disability rights movement, youth are increasingly saying: "Nothing about us without us".
The aims of this document are:
• To engage with young people as leaders and partners who can influence and contribute to policies and programming of relevance to UNFPA and its partners;
• To empower youth to play a direct role in decision-making at all levels of society.

'We have to stand up and think we're good enough' - Knudsen on Town's quest for win
PUBLISHED: 20:00 30 September 2018
Pagepix Ltd 07976 935738
Jonas Knudsen insists he and his team-mates must trust in their ability and 'stand up and think we're good enough' as they continue their search for a first win of the season.
It looked as if the Blues were going to break their duck at Birmingham on Saturday, only for Lukas Jutkiewicz's brace to wipe out a 2-0 half-time lead given to the Blues by goals from Jon Nolan and Matthew Pennington.
Knudsen believes Jutkiewicz's first goal, which came just three minutes after the interval, changed the nature of the game as the hosts began to pile on the pressure.
The Blues take on third-placed Middlesbrough tomorrow night, with Knudsen insisting the squad need to show character during their tough run.

"Goals change games and that's happened," Knudsen said.
"I thought we were good in possession in the first-half and I don't think they created a lot. They got an early goal in the second-half and after that they put pressure on us.
"In the position we're in we have to take a point and say 'well done boys' because the confidence isn't as high as it has been.

"We are around the bottom of the table and we're scrapping to get points so we have to trust ourselves and believe ourselves to do what we know we can do.
"We have to stand up and think we're good enough. We're unbeaten in three so let's take that as a positive and go out and win on Tuesday. Then maybe it will turn around for us, so let's hope we can do that."

I have been absent from the blog for almost a whole week! Yikes! I do have some posts swirling around in my head that I have meant to work on, I'm getting there and reminding myself that the blog is a hobby---when I don't feel like it, I won't. No pressure. In other news, I'm really loving this quote lately, maybe you will too!
What's been going on? We are in that part of the school year that is long and the nearest break seems light years away. It's the tough part. Keep on keepin' on, teachers, we can do it! AJ and I had a nice weekend just relaxing together. Saturday morning we had donuts and coffee and spent some quality time with the DVR. I rested up on Saturday (I've had this sore throat I've been trying to beat) and then went to evening church and out for pizza. I love dating my husband. Sunday we meal prepped (I've been using Dr. Phil's 20/20 recipes still, but trying to incorporate some new healthy choices too for lunches. Any suggestions?), We went to see the new movie "Get Out" that afternoon (I loved it, AJ thought it was just ok....warning: super violent) and then went to my parent's house for dinner and Oscars viewing.
Life is pretty gosh darn usual in our neck of the woods....we got plantation shutters on our front windows and we absolutely love them. We are hoping to do the back of the house this summer or fall.
I'm on my 8th book of the year (30 is my goal for 2017). Here are the 8 reads so far:
1. Ruthless by Ron Miscavige (all about Scientology, not my fave, but super interesting)
2. Winter Street by Elin Hilderbrand (easy, fun, classic chick lit with a Christmas theme)
3. Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult (I really loved this one, Jodi never fails)
4. The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell (I could not put this one down, about a family struggling when the mom becomes a hoarder, interesting insight into the reality of that mental illness)
5. Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequist (really enjoyed this one, I had to read it with a journal nearby because there were so many ideas from it I wanted to remember).
6. Giddy Up Eunice by Sophie Hudson (This book was a delight. The resounding theme is that God gives us women to walk alongside us that we need and that make the journey of life a lot more fun. This would make a great gift for a girlfriend).
7. The Paris Wife by Paula McLain (I scored this one at DI for 75 cents. I have wanted to read it for years, it's historical, set in Paris, and the main character (Ernest Hemingway's wife) is named Hadley so I'm loving it already (about a third of the way through).
8. A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams (I am listening to this one on CD while I drive. It's an interesting story so far but I don't drive enough to make much headway. I've been at it for a week and am on disc 3 out of 10. Thank goodness the library allows renewals).
I was meaning to do a whole "Irish Eats" post in honor of St. Paddy's Day, but thought that this post was a mish mash anyway, so I'd stick it here. Here are some delish recipes you might want to whip up in the month of March. I have my eyes on a few of these! Click the name of the recipe and you'll be linked to the website where it came from. Have a happy week!

The book deal happened after 7 months. It was mental.
None of it is real.
The applause, likes, shares and any fancy digital marketing metrics that brands are ready to kill for. They are all an in-the-moment reaction of people in a moment of their purposeless but busy lives. May be they liked their post because it connected to them, may be they felt obligated because you announced you are having a baby. None of it matters because it doesn't change your reality.
With same logic – the sarcasm, the beat down, the troll comments, the silence of people you should have heard from is not real either. It is their expression of their own dissatisfaction in their lives.
So, what is real?
Your choice to act is the only reality.
Last night, I finally announced the news of my signing a contract for a book which has brought together some of the most accomplished entrepreneurs, thinkers and publishing professionals in India and congratulations started pouring in. (I am not adding the book website link here deliberately because that is not what this is about.)
But I watched the screen with glassy eyes and closed the browser.
I know none of it is real. The only thing that matters is that I keep working on the project — my job is not done yet. I wrote the book and now I have to make sure it reaches as wide as an audience as possible. And that will happen not because these people are congratulating me but because I do what I have to do.
This detachment is a relief. I do not have to worry about what they think. By the way, I have nothing against them — they are some of my favorite people but if I start losing myself in their perceptions, I will have no originality to offer to my audience — which is my foremost dharma in my craft.
This ability to ground and reel myself back into my shell away from the world (while in the process of creation and promotion) helps me ward off the noise and the unreal elements of my work.
Because, and you know by now, action is the only real choice and the only reality I care for.
Sometimes, this action means 'not doing anything' — as Gandhi chose in the face of British oppression.
Weak compared to the forces he hoped to change, Gandhi leaned into that weakness, exaggerated it, exposed himself. He said to the most powerful occupying military in the world, I'm marching to the ocean to collect salt in direct violation of your laws. He was provoking them — What are you going to do about it? There is nothing wrong with what we're doing — knowing that it placed authorities in an impossible dilemma: Enforce a bankrupt policy or abdicate. Within that framework, the military's enormous strength is neutralized. Its very usage is counterproductive — Ryan Holiday, Obstacle is the Way
Action is a choice to actively work, retreat or ignore. Whatever it is, you have a control on it and that is why it is so powerful.
The applause will soon fade, the naysayers will get on with their lives but if you focus on doing your act, you would have the control of where you are.

A Time to Talk to Dead People Meditation
Samhain is famed to be the best day of the year to talk to those who have crossed over, and in this October's meditation, we're going to do just that. Whether the dead talk back is up to you (and them.)
Before you begin this meditation, think about who you'd like to talk to and what you'd like to say. What emotions do you need to express? Are you hurting? Angry? Or are you peaceful and excited to take the opportunity to communicate with a lost loved one?
There is no wrong answer. If you are hurting or angry, this meditation could help bring you peace. If you are already at peace, this meditation could bring you something close to joy.
If you can get a picture, a personal belonging, or a gift the departed gave to you before they died, or all of the above. You can limit yourself to trying to contact just one loved one, or to a handful. I don't recommend trying to talk to more than five or six in one session – it can get confusing and even draining.
To prevent the draining, bring a potted plant, cut flowers, and/or a familiar, plus incense/sage, crystals if you have them, and one or more candles in colors that make sense to you into your meditation space. Spirit energy can draw on all of these things to communicate with you rather than drawing from your personal energy.
Smudge yourself and your space and declare your intentions that only beings of love and light may join you in your meditative space. Ask your guides, totems, angels, and/or deities to surround and protect you during your meditation. Then close your eyes, take three slow, deep breaths, and relax your body from head to toe. Lay down if you it will help you to relax. Visualize your throat chakra glowing bright blue, shining brighter and growing larger as your spirit and awareness travel into it.
Relaxed and fully present in your throat chakra, safe and open, call your loved one to you. Tell your loved one what you feel you need to say. You may see your loved one's face or an image of something you associate with him or her. You may hear a voice or just know the words or information the spirit wishes to pass on to you. You may feel a warmth, a hug, or emotional sensations in addition to your own. You may smell a familiar fragrance or taste a food or beverage. You may also get absolutely nothing that you recognize, and that's okay. Know that your loved one heard you. If you get any kind of response, write it down when you come out of your meditation. If you don't get any kind of response, ask your loved one to respond to you in your dreams or to give you a message in your daily life and to make you aware of the message and who sends it, and know that it will be so.
When you feel ready, bid your loved one adieu, and withdraw from your throat chakra. Watch the shining blue orb contract until it fits within your throat once again, and allow your awareness to come back into your body. Take three slow, deep breaths, then open your eyes and write about your experience.
Repeat this mediation as often as you like, and for as many departed loved ones as you like. Make sure that every time you come back to yourself, you smudge your area again and eat and drink something to replenish your own energy and bring you back into your body.

Next week I will be finishing up my first month on Black People Meet. I thought I would share with you guys a little about my experience.
First of all let's talk about what prompted me to join Black People Meet. I was up late one night, watching BET when a Black People Meet commercial comes on. All the actors were gorgeous, happy and all found love. Now, I'm not really looking for love but I'm a pretty curious person so I had to see what it was about.
I typed the URL in my web browser and decided to start a free trial. Instantly the first few guys I saw on there were amazing! They had jobs, goals and were sexier than anything running around in my own city. Very enticing. I saw this one pretty young thing that I wanted to get to know. I said "Why not, i'm here, let me get the full Black People Meet experience". I clicked on Send Messagebut wait, only full members can do that. So you're telling me I couldn't e-mack to this fine dude because I have a free membership? Welp, on to the next! A few minutes later I get an email saying that someone has sent me a message on Black People Meet. A message? Already? Cool! So, I went to check my messages and BOOM! Once again, you can't do that as a free member. Ok BPM, you got me! I decided I was going to sign up for whichever was the cheapest deal they had (which was the one month deal for like $13.00).
$13.00 later I was now a member of Black People Meet and was perusing the profiles of men from Texas to New York. Some fine, most homely looking. Came across a few obviously fake profiles:
Clearly I know Morris Chestnut wasn't on Black People Meet and I think this stranger n-gga does too. Anyway, I sent flirts(pre-made messages to let them know you checked out their page) to the ones I thought were super fine. I was cyber pimping baby! I look over to the left of the page and see there are some more goodies that I didn't get to play with, like my Messages box! So I open up my Inbox and find quite a few new messages, one from a guy right in my own city. His looks? Well, he wasn't my type (at all) but he said I was beautiful and it's only right to say thank you…especially since on Black People Meet you can pay $4.00 a month extra to get notifications that someone checked your messages. I replied. Then he replied. I ignored. He sent me a chat. I was like "How the hell he do that?" and I ignored it too. Then he sent me another message and I was already over it. Black People Meet also has this feature that allows you to see who's been to your page and how many times. I wish I knew this while I was browsing. Now some of these dudes are getting the idea that I even somehow care about them just because they saw my name pop up on their page.
Day 2 and maybe even 3 I was determined to find someone on the website that was remotely close to what they show on the commercials. I came across guys in Atlanta that looked like this:
I almost logged out at that very moment until I found the guy that looked like this:
Now he was way more my speed. So I sent him a flirt telling him he was cute. A couple of days later he replies and says he'd like to give me a call sometime. Now me, I'm no idiot, I'm not giving this stranger my real number. Luckily for me I am a user of Google Voice (look it up) and I gave him that number instead. The following day I get a call from Mr. 404…sorta. I answered the phone in my sexy voice to find out it was a recording to find out how I can make money selling magazines or whatever. Goodbye Mr. 404 smh.
Now not everyone on Black People Meet is black by the way. Some just want to meet them a Nubian Goddess. Take this rich white man from Michigan for example:
He's actually pretty attractive for an old white man, if you're in to that sort of thing. He talked about how he travels for work, had lots of pictures of him in exotic places and on boats, everything that would attract a woman like myself. He said that he comes to my city often. I told him to hit me up the next time he's out here and we'll do lunch….in a public place because I'm not trying to get hacked into pieces and found in a back alley.
When I wasn't getting messages from rich white guys I was getting things like this:
And this is when I realized I'm not here for this at all. Even if I were looking for love, I feel like days, weeks, of my time were wasted. I'm sure it may work for others if you're patient and can sift through the BS (like offline relationships) but I'd much rather set up sex appointments in my DM's on Twitter. I do have tons of positive things to say about BPM though. If you're patient and enjoy talking to and meeting new people, this is a great site. If you're just browsing and want to occasionally befriend a beautiful person you're better off on Facebook. Depending on what you need to find love, this may be the site for you. It just didn't do a whole lot for me.

Last night, while trying to sort through political arguments among people I follow on Twitter so I could focus on what the social media site was actually intended for – porn stars lobbying for people to vote for their Fleshlight – I noticed a Tweet from Yahoo!'s Jay Busbee about a woman who informed him about the new ink of Dale Earnhardt that she just got, as you can see in the banner image. It's actually a little unclear, so I'll let Jay explain it.
Screw the debate, you MUST see this tattoo on @lisa88fan of Dale Sr. looking down the stairway to heaven on Dale Jr.
That's right, that is a full back tattoo that depicts a stairway to Heaven with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. looking up at his father, who is surrounded by either clouds or angels. Either way, that's a pretty immense show of loyalty to one specific NASCAR brand. But then, I wouldn't expect anything else from a woman who has "Nascar Girl" tattooed on her shoulder blade, as well as a butterfly and the moon on the other side.
Oh, and it doesn't end there, friends. This woman also has an Earnhardt tattoo on her leg that she shared on her Twitter account.
That is some seriously impressive fan allegiance right there. It certainly blows away my Tony Stewart tramp stamp.

The Cashback Shopping site Swagbucks is offering big cash back at over 120 different stores all throughout Black Friday weekend. They're also offering big payouts on a varieties of different deals and offers from companies that would make great gift ideas. Get great deals without waiting in lines or even leaving your home!
If you're not familiar with Swagbucks, they offer cash back in the form of points when you shop. Then you can turn those points into gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, Target, or PayPal cash. You can also earn points for discovering deals, watching videos, answering surveys and more!
There are not a whole lot of deals I have seen which will prompt me to leave the house today. Perhaps a few, but I think I would rather spend time at home with family. Shopping for some of the deals online not only saves me gas, but allows me that extra time with family I do not get to see very often. (We are visiting family members out of town.)
Earning money back from those online deals, while drinking a cup of coffee and eating a breakfast I didn't have to make on my own (Thanks, Mom!), makes it a good morning all around.
As my kids are starting to read more, and keep peeping over my shoulder, I am not going to detail exactly what I plan to purchase today, but I would love to hear of any good deals you find.
Click here to take advantage of the cash back, just create your Swagbucks account when prompted (it takes less than 30 seconds) and then you're all set!
