ITHACA, N.Y. — Nutrition Report Cards (N.R.C.s) may be a "feasible and inexpensive tool to guide children towards healthier choices," according to a study from researchers at Cornell University.
The study, "Nutrition Report Cards: An opportunity to improve school lunch selection," involved 35 students in grades K-12 at a rural school district in New York. As part of the study, over a five-week period, parents received a weekly e-mail containing a N.R.C. listing how many meal components (fruits, vegetables, starches, milk), snacks and a la carte foods their child selected.
What the researchers found was the report cards encouraged more home conversations about nutrition and more awareness of food selections.
"Despite the small sample, the N.R.C. was associated with reduced selection of some items, such as the percentage of those selecting cookies, which decreased from 14.3% to 6.5%," said the researchers, led by Brian Wansink and David Just. "Additionally, despite requiring new keys on the check-out registers to generate the N.R.C., checkout times increased by only 0.16 seconds per transaction, and compiling and sending the N.R.C.s required a total weekly investment of 30 minutes of staff time."
The researchers said the N.R.C. is similar in concept to a Body Mass Index (B.M.I.) Report Card that has been used at schools in Arkansas since 2003. Research has shown that the B.M.I. report cards may encourage increases in children's exercise and help parents more accurately assess their child's health.
As for the N.R.C.s, Cornell researchers noted they may positively influence food choice through the child's perception that parents are observing their choices. Also a possibility is that parents may use the N.R.C.s to set eating goals or limit a child's a la carte purchases.

I've explained in my previous post that the debate about the nature of Christ in the SDA church has failed to take into account a very important factor: that Adventists don't believe in an immaterial, rational soul.
I will here argue that the debate over the nature of sin has similarly been misguided. The question has generally been posed, is sin an action (thought, word or deed, of commission or omission), or is it our nature?
If only action (sin is the transgression of the law), why then does the Bible describe us as so much more vile than that: the whole head is sick, the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, etc.? Also, in our own experience, we often come to realize that our sinfulness permeates to the very core of our being.
But if sin is nature, the Bible teaches that our corrupt natures will remain with us until Christ's coming (when this corruptible will put on incorruption.) So why even bother to overcome sin if we're still going to be sinners just the same? Why would God call us to be perfect as He is perfect if this isn't even possible?
This has been the back and forth debate among Adventists for six decades now. But are we sure those are the only two options? What if there was another possibility where sin was more than just action but not exactly nature?
Imagine for a second that a serial thief is caught and thrown in jail where he doesn't steal a single thing for years, because he can't. Does his lack of stealing make him any less a thief? Or if a rapist is released from jail for good behavior, would you let him babysit your daughter?
This is not to imply that people cannot change. But people don't stop BEING thieves or rapists or liars or cheaters simply because they stop DOING those things. And, if God is to be a fair judge, He must judge people on WHO they are and not just on what they DO.
So sin is not just our actions, and neither is it the nature we are born with, but it is our cultivated characters, who we really are. From the time we are born, we start developing character. And, decades later, when we are converted, this character is very well formed and a constant battle for our renewed minds. Our thoughts, words and actions are like the tip of the iceberg above the water while our characters are the massive ice structure underneath. This does not mean however that God cannot change them.
Take Peter as a case study. He was fully convicted in his own mind that He would never betray Christ. His actions corresponded with his convictions in that he was willing to die with Christ. According to an action-only definition of sin, Peter would have been blameless in this instant. But God had judged him a betrayer based on His knowledge of the heart. The good news however is that once Peter understood himself, he thoroughly repented and stopped being a betrayer.
So maybe the reason Adventists have not made any progress on this topic in sixty years is because they were debating between two options that were equally wrong.

There were no reported injuries.
Meanwhile, callers were able to provide a description of a group of teenage boys that were leaving the area, walking southbound on Golden State Avenue. Arriving KCFD Fire Investigators were able to locate and detain 5 teenage boys (two age 13, and three age 14) that matched this description.

In creating the Fjordpark litter bin 4 and 4+, we have worked closely with clients and designers to construct a product that is both beautiful and functional.
Each bin appears as a sharp and simple urban element, which can be repeated throughout the area without drawing too much attention.
The iconic design is distinguished by the fact that the simple outer appearance is reflected by the user-friendly interior structure.
In close cooperation with Fredericia municipality's technical department, we have developed a new standard for maintenance and emptying. For this product, the emptying process allows for maximum overview and requires minimal lifting.
Fjordpark 4 and 4+ can currently be seen in Fredericia, at Aarhus University Hospital, on the island of Samsø, and in Stevns.

It did make me wonder, though, whether she would ever be able to go into a supermarket while so attired. If she went into different store, say the Co-op, I imagine she would be driven out by staff enraged by her livery, much as crows will mob a sparrow-hawk. But if she went into a different Sainsbury's the following exchange would have a certain comic inevitability:
C [to the cashier]: Just this chewing gum, please.
Cashier: That'll be 45p.
Manager [interrupting]: You! Get to Till 13 right away! Don't you know we're understaffed today?
C: Me? But I'm only buying some chew--
Manager [hands already bunching into fists]: Don't answer back! Till 13 - hop to it!
C: But I don't even work here.... [Is bustled away to Till 13 and spends the next 7 hours weighing carrots.]
I don't know why I imagine all managers as ex-RSMs, but I do.

Firstly, we saw the birth of Two-Second Steven after some very vivid between-the-sheets bouncing occurred between Steve and Kimberly – and now Helen and Ash are heating up.
Despite claiming that she would never "do a Kimberly" in the house, Helen indulged in some suggestive activities while snuggling with her male model pal.
The pair kissed last week before eviction night, but last night's cuddle session between the housemates turned a bit X-rated.
Viewers saw the pair rolling around under the duvet, with slow movements clearly visible despite both Helen and Ash being hidden.
After several minutes of undercover activity, the smitten pair began to giggle, leaving us guessing about what exactly what was going on under the sheets.
This passionate tryst came just hours after Helen insisted that she would not be having sex on the show.
After new housemate Zoe joked about Helen and Ash getting down and dirty, the Bolton lass replied: "Are you f***ing kidding me? Please retract that statement right now… I would never do anything like that."
But while we're pretty sure the couple didn't do the whole Steven and Kimberly act, it seems that hunky Ash isn't able to control himself around Helen.
Speaking to Winston about their smooch on Thursday night, Ash said: "We were kissing and then I f***ing got well horny."
And while Ash cuddled his new squeeze before lights went out, he attempted to seduce her by showing her his pants.
The long-haired looker teased: "I've got my s*** boxers on tonight want to see?"
He then whispered that there was a hole in them – and urged Helen to take another look.
Who said romance is dead?

Car won't start
My Mercedes c180 cgi 2010 auto won't start. The
car lights come on, the radio works but the air con
won't come on. The key will turn but non of the
dash lights come on and the steering doesn't
unlock. Iv check the battery and its is fine. What
could be the problem?
1 Answer
Sounds like a steering column issue just had mine fixed some how the the security system or key fob on the steering column. may need to be replaced. Many things cause "no start conditions" Replacement of the battery should rule the battery out and also the alternator charge as the new battery should have many "starts" in it. The alternator could have a bad diode, and thus discharge the battery when it is not working. Should be an easy diagnose. Put an amp meter on the main and secondary positive leads and check for current flow with systems off. If older car with many starts, the starter motor would be next suspect. Turn on the headlights and try to start. If the headlights dim but engine doesn't crank, the starter could be shorted. If lights don't dim but still no start, starter could be open. Starters usually fail with intermittent starts. This should not throw a lot of codes unless it is shorted. If the battery is pulled low by a shorted starter, all sorts of miscellaneous codes will be thrown. Especially, for some reason, a low battery throws a transmission fault. Neutral/park switch is next "no start" failure. Usually will not throw codes. Wiggle gear shift while trying to start. Next is the key fob battery. If this is an older truck, a low battery in the key will cause the security not to be recognized. However, again this does not usually throw a lot of codes, unless you have not serviced the car regularly and the codes are from something else. Same with ignition switch, start relay. Dealer should be able to tell with signal tracing, why starter is not getting energize signal Bad sun-roof drains or hood cowl drains can also cause a condition of "no start" due to accumulation of water around the computer connections. This thing has several computers and corrosion on the connectors will screw the system.

As he researched and wrote, when eventually he stumbled for a moment with a formatting issue. But he remembered that his teacher had left some formatting instructions for the folder containing the assignment. As he browsed to the proper page, something glared at him, that he hadn't noticed before:
"The Taxation & Government paper is due NLT 9 AM, Apr 23rd, 2007"
The instructor had written the date in bold red letters, the time, however, was in the same formatting as the rest of the sentence.
This was not techempage's first major faux pas of the semester, though. Due to a poorly worded silly-bus, he is walking a thin red line to pass another class.
The end of the semester, the stress, being behind at work and wondering if he would actually pass multiple classes wound up being too much for our poor hero. He collapsed to the floor and wept.
After a short time, he gathered himself back together and once again began plugging away at his Herculean task, even if it was going to be late.
Shortly thereafter, he headed out to the Dr's to get a physical. Once there, the Dr looked over our hero, who, while not in perfect health, was in pretty good condition. One thing, that was slightly odd, was this touch of a fever, 99.3 degrees. It was brushed away due to the heat outside.
After finishing with the Dr, techempage rushed home, eager to once again get to his task. As he toiled away at it, he kept getting closer and closer to his goal. "This beast will be slain today!" he thought to himself. And as he continued, he also though, "Hmmm. My throat is a little sore."
At 11:47pm, April 23, 2007, in the year of our lord, the beast fell. techempage finished it with a click of the button, "Submit." He then e-mailed his instructor about his tardiness, explaining and apologizing for what had occurred.
The next morning, he learned that his toil was not without cost. His throat burned. His nose had slime desperately trying to escape from it. His lungs convulsed, expelling vile substances. Had this pestulance appeared but a day earlier, he would have had the good doctor examine this condition. But no, this was a sneaky enemy. It knew to strike when it was least expected.
Our hero, still returned to work that day and suffered mightily as he valiantly faced the demons of Accounting. And at the end of the day, he went home and quaffed magic pills in an attempt to exorcise the sickness from his form and once again fell into a deep slumber.
He has not yet heard back from his instructor.
Needless to say, techempage has missed much of the past few days, here in the world of electronic magic. If you want him to see something, he might have missed, please leave a message at the beep.

I went to Kidder Farm last week. Usually when I visit I politely listen to and then ignore Gary's suggestions for fresh approaches to songwriting. That's not to say he doesn't have good ideas, just that they haven't worked for me. Taking a walk didn't work. Coming up with a melody first didn't work. I think I'm too inexperienced. Maybe strumming guitar and staring into space is my method. But this time I was desperate or tipsy enough to agree that starting a new song on a drum machine would be an excellent idea. Here's how it went: Gary unearthed the drum machine, plugged it in, and left.
I spent half a day scrolling through the preset patterns: Rock 1, Rock 2, Rock 3, Rock 4, and so forth. Hard Rock 1, 2, and 3. Rockabilly. Various Technos. Some Funk and Latin. Reggae (as if). Dixie. Polka. Jazz. R&B. Fusion. You're thinking, as I was, wouldn't Country Rock or Ballad be a smart choice for the newbie? But no. The beat that won my heart was Rap 3. It's sharp. It swings. It's not like me. Beyond that I really don't know and I really don't have to. My choices don't have to make sense. It's not like I'm searching for a sound or strategizing a career. I'm exploring, pure and if not exactly simple then definitely agenda-less. And there was something titillating about being so far out of my comfort zone. Which leads to my next choice: a keyboard. I don't play keyboard. Not a bit. Never took lessons as a kid and never fooled around as a teenager. But the keyboard is where I and Rap 3 wanted to go. So we did. Gary unearthed a keyboard, plugged it in, and left.
I found myself in another world of preset sounds. I scrolled through a lot of them. I'm vaguely embarassed to say that I chose Voice Ooh (39), which sounds like a capella singing and is pretty cheesy when you play it on the middle and higher notes but on the bottom of the keyboard it sounds less humanoid and pretty cool. The most number of fingers I seemed to be able to use simultaneously was two, so I poked around with my thumb and pinkie in the key of C, because I know enough to know that I could avoid the black keys. I poked and poked some more until I found a pattern I liked. I spent a long time figuring out the names of the sort-of chords I was playing, for no reason other than it seemed like a crime to not know. I spent a very long time playing with tempo. Fast felt frantic and technically prohibitive. Slow felt slow-jammy and totally faux. Midtempo seemed the only option. And then it was time to, what? I wasn't writing a song, at least not in the narrative, intuitive way I'd done previously, so much as making components that would later be sliced and diced and fashioned into a song. How fashionable.
Beats, check. Synth-poppy chords, check. Some kind of simple melodic line ought to come next, partly because that would balance the busy rhythm and staccato chords, and partly because I could do it with one finger. So I chose a new sound, Vib Pad (87), and made a little melody. A very little melody. Dear reader, here it is. In fact, here is a lot more of my three humble parts than you would ever want to listen to because I don't know how to edit in GarageBand, so it goes on and on and on. Just press stop.

After an arduous journey across several countries, during which they often face physical and sexual abuse, Haitians will soon be detained at the U.S. border before being deported. Since the 2010 earthquake, the U.S. had stopped non-criminal deportations of Haitians but now, the Department of Homeland Security has announced that the policy will change. Right now, it seems that many Haitians are continuing on their journey to the US border but it is likely that those on their way may start finding alternate paths into the country to get around the new restriction. IJDH Immigration Policy Coordinator Stevne Forester is quoted in this article.

Uncertainty for Haitians in Tijuana
Sandra Dibble, The San Diego Union-Tribune
September 23, 2016
Hundreds of Haitians in Tijuana preparing to present themselves to U.S. officials at the San Ysidro Port of Entry face an unpleasant surprise: the probability of detention — and eventual deportation to their impoverished country — under a new policy announced this week by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
A day after the changes went into effect, the Haitian men who gathered in small groups on Friday morning outside the Desayunador Salesiano Padre Chava, a shelter and soup kitchen, said they had heard nothing, and asked anxiously for details.
"I don't believe it," Miterson Derisseau, a 25-year-old tile-setter from Port-au-Prince said in French.
"Did Obama's party decide this? He has a generous heart, he cannot deport us to our country, " added Derisseau, who hopes to join his sister in Boston.

|Australia v West Indies
|BC Lara, RS Morton, S Chanderpaul, FH Edwards, CD Collymore
|ICC Champions Trophy 2006/07
DateLine: 24th October 2006
West Indies captain Brian Lara is likely to return to the side for Thursday's Champions Trophy match against India after recovering from back spasms.
 "We expect him (Lara) to be fine for the match although he is still having his back worked on," West Indies coach Bennett King told reporters on Monday. "Different teams have different problems. The West Indies also had a couple of fitness issues, but they are resilient. They want to get on to the field."
 Lara did not field due to the back problem after scoring an impressive 71 against world champions Australia in a Group-A league match at Mumbai last Wednesday. He added 137 for the fifth wicket with Runako Morton (90 not out) before fast bowler Jerome Taylor's hat-trick completed the West Indies' surprise 10-run victory.
 Lara was one of the four players missing in action in that match, forcing his side to depend on a local fielder. Others were paceman Fidel Edwards (foot injury) and batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul (food poisioning).
 Fast bowler Corey Collymore had returned home to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. He is expected to join the team before the match.
 "Everyone is fine now," King said, adding his team still needed to show improvement despite beating Australia. "Even now, after Australia, we feel we have to improve a lot," he added. "We have certain areas to work on. We are looking forward to the match against India, but it is a new game on a different wicket and in different conditions."
 The West Indies have an impressive track record against India in recent months, winning five of their last seven one-day internationals. "We have some good history against India," said King.
 The West Indies and India have won their opening matches. England have lost both of their games, while Australia have one win after two matches. The top two sides advance to the semi-finals.

In a path breaking and hugely significant development, the Delhi High Court in a latest, landmark and extremely laudable judgment titled Prag Chawla vs Government of NCT of Delhi and another in W.P.(C) 3939/2019 has very rightly and commendably directed the government of NCT Delhi to decide on the establishment of 18 fast track courts and 22 commercial courts in various districts of Delhi as demanded by the Delhi High Court. It also sought a report on the decision taken before May 30. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani held quite explicitly on May 16, 2019 that once the High Court has made a demand for establishment of certain courts (fast track and commercial) for speedy disposal of cases, the State Government cannot sit over the appointments but instead is duty bound to sanction the requisite number of posts.
Needless to say, the Delhi High Court was hearing a writ petition filed by one Prag Chawla who sought directions for appointments to the posts for these courts. This matter remained pending before the State government for more than two years. Senior Counsel Dayan Krishnan appeared on behalf of the petitioner along with others while Anupam Shrivastava appeared on behalf of the Delhi government and Rajshekhar Rao represented the Delhi High Court itself.
To start with, this judgment sets the ball rolling in para 1 by first and foremost observing that, "This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner in public interest and the prayer made reads as under:
'a) Direct the Respondent No. 1 to make the FTC scheme as a permanent feature in place of the present ad-hoc and temporary FTC scheme and accordingly sanction 20 posts of Additional District & Sessions Judge in Delhi Higher Judicial Service along with 95 posts of ancillary staff on permanent basis for Fast Track Courts.
b) Direct the Respondent No. 1 to create 22 posts of Delhi Higher Judicial Service in super time scale for commercial court judges along with ancillary staff.
c) Pass any other order(s) which this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper, in favour of the Petitioner'."
To be sure, it is then pointed out in para 2 that, "The Full Court of the High Court of Delhi had sanctioned 20 posts of Additional District & Sessions Judge in Delhi Higher Judicial Service and other requirements and 22 further posts in the Delhi Higher Judicial Service in super time scale for establishment of commercial courts."
As things stand, para 3 then brings out that, "The matter is pending before the Govt. of NCT of Delhi/respondent No. 1 since more than 2 years and finally the communication received from time to time from the Govt. of NCT of Delhi and the response of the Delhi High Court have been brought before us by Shri Rajshekhar Rao, learned counsel representing the Delhi High Court in the form of a paper book which contains various communications between the Govt. of NCT of Delhi and the Delhi High Court."
Be it noted, it is then brought out in para 4 that, "On 06.05.2019, the Principal Secretary (Law, Justice & LA) has made a communication to the Registrar General of this Court which reads as under:
With reference to your office letter No. 5002/DHC/Gaz/G-1/2018 dated 22.11.2018 on the above captioned subject, I am directed to inform you that the proposal for creation of 18 post of ADJs in Delhi Higher Judicial Service along with 86 posts of ancillary staff for fast Track Courts was placed before the Council of Ministers for consideration. However, the following information is further required to take necessary action in the matter:
1. Total number of criminal cases relating to serious offences which are pending for more than two years in District Courts.
2. Average rate of disposal of cases @ each Fast Track Court in last two years to consider whether if only 18 Fast Track Courts shall serve the purpose or more number of Courts are required to be established.
The above information may kindly be provided at the earliest"."
It is then observed in para 5 that, "From the aforesaid, it is clear that the Department wants the total number of criminal cases relating to serious offences which are pending for more than 2 years in the District Courts in Delhi."
As it turned out, it is then held in para 6 that, "Having heard Mr. Dayan Krishnan, learned Senior Counsel representing the petitioner, Mr. Anupam Srivastava, learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the respondent No. 1/Govt. of NCT of Delhi and Mr. Rajshekhar Rao, learned counsel for the respondent No. 2/Delhi High Court and on going through the records, we find that most of these details have already been furnished by the Delhi High Court and are available with the Govt. of NCT of Delhi. In spite thereof, if any further specific details are required, the Law Secretary should communicate it to the Registrar General of this Court by 18.05.2019 and the Registrar General shall personally furnish the entire information to the Principal Secretary (Law, Justice & LA) on 20.05.2019 by attending his office."
Going forward, it is then held in para 7 that, "As far as the second query is concerned, the Govt. of NCT of Delhi wants to know as to how many further fast track courts are necessary to be established. The query clearly indicates that the Govt. of NCT of Delhi is even willing to sanction more courts and therefore there should not be any impediment in sanctioning at least the 18 courts indicated in the query." Para 8 states that, "Accordingly, we direct that appropriate sanction for establishment of 18 fast track courts should be communicated immediately to the Delhi High Court."
While underlying the reasons behind this landmark order, it is then pointed out in para 9 that, "We are constrained to pass the aforesaid order primarily on account of two facts: one, that the statistics provided by the petitioner which are based on information received under the Right to Information Act shows that more than 6,414 cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 ('POCSO') are pending in various courts in Delhi and more than 2,800 cases under various other sections, particularly Section 376 IPC are pending in the courts in Delhi. The mandate of Section 309 of the Cr.P.C. is that cases under Section 376 IPC and cognate provisions, which would now also include cases under POCSO are required to be decided within two months; and decision of cases within the time-frame provided under the statute until and unless adequate number of fast track courts are sanctioned."
What's more, it is then pointed out in para 10 that, "That apart, Mr. Dayan Krishnan, learned Senior Counsel representing the petitioner has invited our attention to a Division Bench judgment of the Bombay High Court in the case of Vihar Durve s. State of Maharashtra & Ors., 2018 Law Suit (Bom) 2435 and the principles crystallized in paras 32 and 33 thereof which read as under:
32. This Court went to the extent of holding that when the State Government is conferred with the power to establish the Courts, the said power has to be exercised after consultation with the High Court and in the matter of such consultation, the view of the High Court will have a primacy.
33. Thus, it is already held that in the matter of establishing the new Courts, the views of the High Court will have the primacy. Considering the mandate of Article 21 and Article 39-A, it is the duty of the judicial system to take all such steps so as to ensure that no citizen is deprived of his fundamental rights guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of speedy trial. It is a settled position that it is the obligation of the State to provide all possible infrastructure to the judiciary to ensure that the mandate of Article 21 is followed. If the argument of the State is accepted, it would mean that in a given case, when the High Court Administration is of the considered view that a particular place, it is necessary to create certain number of additional posts of Judges, the State will finally decide whether creation of additional posts of the Judges is necessary at that particular place. Therefore, it comes to it that the State will decide how many Judges are required to deal with the pendency of cases at a particular place and for ensuring the speedy trial. If this view is accepted, it will impinge upon the independence of judiciary which is a part of the basic structure of the Constitution of India"."
It cannot be lost on us that it is then pointed out in para 11 that, "These principles clearly indicate that once the High Court has sought for certain courts for speedy disposal of cases, the State Government cannot sit over it and has no option but to sanction the posts as demanded by the High Court."
Above all, it is then pointed out in para 12 that, "That apart, now under the Commercial Courts, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High Courts Act, 2015, the State is also bound to create commercial courts in an endeavour to dispose of commercial disputes. More than 22 courts are required to be established in various Districts of Delhi for clearing cases under the Commercial Courts, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High Courts Act, 2015 and the demand for the same is also pending before the Govt. of NCT of Delhi. Once the High Court has made a demand, the State is duty bound to sanction the posts and therefore we direct that with regard to 18 fast track courts and 22 commercial courts as demanded by the High Court, the matter be placed before the appropriate authorities namely the Cabinet, a decision taken and a report submitted to this Court on or before 30.05.2019." The last para 13 then says that, "List on 30.05.2019."
To conclude, State must comply with what the Delhi High Court has ordered in its extremely landmark and laudable judgment. It has already been stated in detail above. There is thus just no need of repetition!

Celebrating 50 years of Joe Orton
Will Gompertz
Arts editor
@WillGompertzBBCon Twitter
- Published
"I hope I've never written anything as bad as some of the early Shakespeare's," Joe Orton said shortly before he was murdered by his lover, Kenneth Halliwell, in 1967.
It's a clip from an archive interview with the BBC, which I included in a piece for the Today Programme, marking the 50th anniversary of Orton's first stage play, Entertaining Mr Sloane.
The play was controversial. Some critics dismissed it as corrupting and smutty. But as legendary impresario Sir Michael Codron told me, the rumpus was good for ticket sales.
This collage is from one of the many scrapbooks Orton put artfully together using press clippings and memorabilia from his life and plays.
They form part of an exhibition organised by Dr Emma Parker at Leicester University - now the repository for the extensive Orton archive - which opens this weekend.
The same scrapbook also contains this ticket, the very one which was given to Orton to see his show when it opened in 1964 at the Arts Theatre. The play made quite a splash and transferred to the West End.
Terrance Rattigan was one of the investors in the production's transfer who thought Orton was an impressive playwright - but the feeling was not reciprocated.
Orton loathed the cosiness and politeness of Rattigan's writing and aspirational situations. He saw himself as an iconoclast.
He was furious - particularly after he and Kenneth had been imprisoned for defacing library books.
The working class lad from Leicester had been brought up on a sprawling council estate. The family had very little money: he had very little education.
He wanted to destroy society, expose what he saw as the hypocrisy and lies upon which it operated. He took sex as a subject because he thought it could be used as a subversive tool to achieve his aims.
Mind you the most radical part of Entertaining Mr Sloane, the bit at the end, was an idea Sir Michael said Orton owed to him.
Sir Michael was given the play to read because its publishers had failed to get a response from Joan Littlewood, to whom they sent it first.
At the time he was putting on a new play every four weeks - something that seems remarkable now. He immediately saw the then-unknown Orton's talent and thought he wrote with an elegance and insight reminiscent of Jane Austen.
But he wasn't sure about the ending, which originally had Mr Sloane murdered.
He suggested to Orton he change it, which he did. The new denouement saw Kath and her brother Ed sharing Mr Sloane which, Sir Michael says, got it labelled as a 'dirty play'.
It went from the West End to Broadway. This is a picture from the time: autumn 1965. Joe Orton is standing outside the Lyceum Theatre in New York.
If he looks hacked-off, he was hacked-off. Entertaining Mr Sloan was his first play, it had done well in London, it had done very well in previews in New York. Tennessee Williams came to see it - twice - but the New York Times Theatre critic lambasted the play saying it was disgusting and should be thrown into the Atlantic. It only ran for a couple of weeks.
Sheila Hancock played Kath in that Broadway production and Orton thought she was perfect for the part. He wrote to Kenneth to tell him so…
Sheila Hancock told me that, although the show didn't work out in America, they all had a great time - particularly Orton, who had to be constantly retrieved from this club or that house.
He was a lovely man, apparently. He liked to walk through Central Park with Hancock's mother while the actress pushed a pram in which her young baby slept. He wrote beautifully. The actress said the rhythms of his writing meant if you got just one word wrong the whole passage collapsed.
His legacy is a series of ground-breaking plays that inspired writers from Harold Pinter to Hanif Kureishi.
He was bold and brave: a gay playwright at a time when being homosexual was still illegal. The 50th anniversary of his stage playwriting debut is worth marking.

Product review- ORS Olive Oil Replenishing ConditionerI am so behind on my product reviews! Now I have a good number of well-used products taunting me.
Today I'm reviewing the Organic Root Stimulator (now ORS) Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner. It's a dc I've used forever, way before I knew about hair journeys and it's no secret how I feel about it. It's the one recurring product in my stash so this is overdue.
My friend Kudi helped me get this salon size for N1500 (approx $10) from a supermarket in Ikeja. I also saw it at Ebeano supermarket in Lekki phase 1 for N1450. It's readily available in most stores in Naija.
On to the main gist
Packaging: Squeeze bottles of 370ml and 1L. There's also a sachet (the Replenishing pak).
Smell: a strong orange smell. This is a plus for many people, but I went from indifferent to finding it somewhat overbearing with time. Citrus scents are not my favourite to be honest but I may be alone in this.
Colour and consistency: Yellow, thick and creamy and slippery.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycine Soja Oil (Soybean), Glycerin, Olea Europaea
Fruit Oil (Olive), Hydrolyzed Collagen, Quaternium-80, Citrus
Aurantium Dulcis Oil (Orange), Citral, d-Limonene, Linalool,
Polyquaternium-37, Propylene Glycol, Dicaprylate / Dicaprate, PPG-1
Trideceth-6, Panthenol, Silk Amino Acids, PEG-9 Dimethicone,
Anthemis Nobilis Extract (Chamomile), Salvia Officinalis Extract
(Sage), Urtica Dioica Extract (Nettle), Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract
(Rosemary), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Achillea Millefolium Extract
(Yarrow), Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Juice (Kiwi), Dimethicone,
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, EDTA, Triethanolamine, DMDM
Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, CI
15985 (Yellow #6), CI 19140 (Yellow #5)
◇◇◇◇Some big-sounding names if you care but no mineral oil, petrolatum, sulphates or parabens. It does contain Dimethicone, so if you're after silicone-free products take note.◇◇◇◇
Promises: Deep penetrating conditioner. Helps restore moisture and rebuild
damaged hair.
Directions: After shampooing with the ORGANIC Root Stimulator® Olive Oil
Creamy Aloe shampoo {of course} apply a generous amount to hair and comb
through for thorough distribution. Place a plastic cap over the hair
and sit under a warm dryer for 10-15 minutes or leave on the hair
for 45 minutes to 1 hour without heat.
Rinse thoroughly.
How I used it
- Dc on damp hair after shampooing or cowashing
- Dc on dry hair before shampooing.
- *Do not read this part- I used it to cowash at the very beginning of my hair journey when I was trying to find my footing. I didn't know then that cowash conditioners are different from deep conditioners. Yes I'm ashamed. Didn't I tell you not to read this?
My Assessment
□□□Note: it's marketed as a dc and that is all it is. Do not attempt to use as a cowash or leave-in. There will be gunk in your hair.□□□
What I like
As a dc, this is it. Serious bang for your buck.
1. It sinks into my strands readily, softens and moisturises a treat every. single. time. I love that it's consistent and I can rely on it no matter how dry my hair feels beforehand.
2. It definitely lives up to its promise of restoring moisture and rebuilding hair. It has some protein (hydrolyzed collagen), but it must be little because it doesn't feel like a protein treatment in my hair. It's more of a moisturising dc so I use it every week, twice a week sometimes. I even use it to restore moisture after a protein treatment.
3. As for detangling, this conditioner has slip for daysssss! You know I've been dc'ing on dry hair lately and this just lets me glide through hair I couldn't pass through seconds before applying.
4. It lets you skip the leave-in conditioner. I don't need a leave-in with this. I started the LCO method while using another dc and I dropped it again when I repurchased this.
5. It interacts excellently with other products. You can add oils, honey, whatever and you can use it alone. Awesome results everytime.
6. A little goes a long, long way so you get months of use out of a single (in fact 370ml) bottle.
What I don't like
1. The other side of the coin is the frigging buildup. I didn't notice it before my hair journey because I washed 3 times a week with a sulphate shampoo and followed with this dc.
When I first formed a regimen I was strict. I cowashed instead and only shampooed once a month no matter what. One time after 3 weeks of cowashing and dc'ing I had the yuckiest buildup. It took FOUR lathers with a sulphate shampoo to get it all out (twice it was diluted).
So yeah, it does a good job but don't be rigid. If you have buildup, don't be afraid to shampoo or your hair will revolt like mine did recently.
2. Not a fan of the orange smell.
Will I repurchase? Lol. Already done so dozens of times.
It doesn't contain any of the usual red light ingredients but because I'm trying to minimise chemicals in my life and be as organic as possible, I'm going off this dc as soon as this bottle is exhausted. Never say never though.
Have you used this product? How do you feel about it?

Job-matching service, TheLadders, has teamed up with BreakupText creators Lauren Leto and Jake Levine to offer a humorous way for workers to resign. The new "Quit Your Job" iPhone app generates personalized resignation messages that workers can text to their bosses.
"After helping thousands of people end relationships, we thought it only fitting to focus on the next most challenging goodbye — quitting your job," Lauren Leto, co-founder of Texts From Last Night, said.
The app helps users quit their jobs with just a few clicks as they:
- Open the app;
- "Begin the End" by choosing reasons for quitting (e.g., I'm sick of the corporate world, I want to get rich. I found a new job, etc.);
- Select future plans upon resignation;
- Select recipient of the text message; and
- Voila! An elaborate text message will then be sent to the intended recipient.
After sending, the user also has the option of social sharing via Twitter and Facebook and utilizing the TheLadders app, which automatically redirects "Quit Your Job" users to the feature.
"In an age when nearly everything can be done from the convenience of your smartphone, we thought job resignation was an area that needed some attention," Alex Douzet, CEO and co-founder of TheLadders, said. "On a serious note, while the recruitment industry has been slow to adopt mobile technology – years behind other industries – one in three job searches are being conducted on a mobile device. Our primary focus at TheLadders is to build technology to better facilitate the mobile job search, which we're doing with best-in-class mobile apps for job seekers and employers."

The Levite Portion
by Julie Arduini
8/03/2008 / Devotionals
It started with my reading Susan May Warren's Team Hope series. I can't remember which book, but God being our portion was a consistent theme. Within a week I read the same promise in devotionals. I heard it through music. Now, it's starting to cement in my brain.
God is my portion.
He is enough.
As Psalm 16:5 states: "Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure."
Joshua 13 and 18 really drove the point home. The Israelites received their lot of land, their portion. Imagine leaving a horrible place, traveling with other kin folk and you make it to the Promised Land. They call out you family name and what kind of land you get.
SmithNice fertile land with cute ranch house.
JonesLucious green acreage with a mansion (I mean would you expect any less from the Jones'? We are always trying to copy them, after all)
Smythelow land that floods easily with a mobile home park filled with toys and garbage
Your nameThe Lord.
That's the picture I get from Joshua 13 and 18 and the Levite tribe. Folks lined up for their land announcement. The Levitesno land. Their portion was their service as priests to the Lord. That was their inheritance.
From Joshua 18:1-7: "The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The country was brought under their control, but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance. So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you? Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. and the house of Joseph in its territory on the north. After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the LORD our God. The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the LORD gave it to them."
So often I get tripped up in worry, jealousy or even coveting because I see others receiving their portion and as my ten year old would say, it's "sweet." We aren't a family that knows the palm trees of Florida, the ears of Disney or the pineapples from Hawaii. That's not our inheritance or portion. For the longest time I felt we lacked because we didn't have those things, places, or lands.
But here is what God showed me as my portion:
1-He has given me the supernatural gift of faith, intercession, and encouragement. I am able to believe God to be big in a person's situation and pray through it. As the years pass I'm realizing this isn't something everyone has. God gave me such a generous portion here, and I never realized it. I love He would choose me as a vessel this way. Lives are changed for Him, and I didn't need any land at all! Just the Lord.
2-He gave us two children who clearly have a calling on their life that is only partially defined so far. I'm not saying my kids are better than anyone's, not even. I sense they are set apart, and that might not mean missionary to Africa, it could be teaching at a school or giving presentations to audiences about His goodness. Whatever it is, I sense it and am committed to pray for the Lord to direct their steps, not me. I'm not praying they get to cruise the Bahamas and inherit exotic lands.
3-As an intercessor, a praying person who gets direct orders from God to pray on things until He tells otherwise, the last couple years has opened doors to pray for organizations, people, and things to come I can't believe. Often I treat this as a burden as often He wakes me at night to chat about a country, a person, a place. Not because He needs me or else, He wants me. What a portion!
You have a Levite portion. What is your Godly inheritance that perhaps you kicked the dirt thinking you got cheated and instead realized you have something even better than Willy Wonka's Golden ticket?

Machine guidance and monitoring put you in the driver's seat to reach your highest yield potential.
John Deere AutoTrac is an assisted steering system that automatically steers the machine through the field. AutoTrac requires a StarFire Receiver and GreenStar Display to operate.
AutoTrac increases productivity, reduces input costs, and leaves an operator with more energy. The GreenStar Display coupled with an AutoTrac activation can provide automatic guidance with integrated AutoTrac, AutoTrac Controller or AutoTrac Universal.
HarvestLab measures on-the-go moisture when installed on a self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH). The HarvestLab moisture sensor mounts to the top of the discharge spout and takes accurate moisture readings of the crop as it passes through the spout. Yield & Constituent Sensing can be used with HarvestLab to provide accurate predictions of starch, protein and acid detergen fiber (ADF)/neutral detergent fiber (NDF) levels in corn forage. This technology allows you to produce higher quality forage and a more-balanced feed ration.
John Deere Section Control automatically turns implement sections on and off to reduce overlap and improve input management. John Deere Section Control can be utilized on planters, air seeders, sprayers and nutrient applicators on any compatible implement.
Section Control reduces product overlap in the field to lower the use of product and decrease input costs. The reduction of overlap can also improve yield. Crops sensitive to excessive seed population and product application will achieve their highest yield potential.
The GreenStar Rate Controller is used with Section Control to provide compatibility with anhydrous ammonia applicators, self-propelled sprayers, liquid manure applicators, liquid fertilizers, and many pull-type sprayers to automatically control application rate, document field data, and utilize map-based prescriptions.
John Deere Section Control and the GreenStar Rate Controller multi-product allows operators to combine what used to be multiple operations into one, allowing such tasks to be completed simultaneously during a single field pass. Producers can utilize automatic rate and section control during four simultaneous operations.

SLAB View™
SLAB View Overview
Software Category: Emergency Release
Version 5.2: Release Notes
SLAB View is a graphical user interface for the SLAB model - an atmospheric dispersion model for denser-than-air releases. SLAB View is an ideal tool to predict hazardous zones and potential impacts of accidental releases.
SLAB View is able to show you how the release develops over time, as well as what the total footprint of the release will be.
SLAB View can model continuous, finite duration, and instantaneous releases from four types of sources:
- a ground-level evaporating pool
- an elevated horizontal jet
- a stack or elevated vertical jet
- and a ground-based instantaneous release
The SLAB model was developed in the 1980s by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), with financial support from the Department of Energy (DOE). The SLAB model is currently distributed and supported by the US EPA.

Bright lights
The lofty position of the cathedral captivates all from miles around, the night brings its own spectacular viewpoint, which is emphasised by the black and white.
This picture is the first I have published using a budget Fuji bridge camera, its also my first night image worth sharing. Can't wait to try it when it's even darker. As far as technology goes – all i did was grayscale it and put the colour back that was already there.
To take this I used a slow shutter speed, it's very hard to take a quality photo without a tripod – something I have figured out.

Frustrated by a lack of progress on an Alaska natural gasline, U.S. Sen. Mark Begich yesterday introduced legislation that would streamline federal regulations and extend key benefits to apply to Alaska-based segments of a gasline that could eventually be connected to the lower 48.
Instead of just applying to the proposed Alaska Highway route through Canada, Begich's legislation could allow federal benefits to apply to other gasline projects being contemplated in the state today.
The 2004 Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act requires that a pipeline must reach the Canadian border in order to receive benefits such as expedited permit timelines and judicial review, the support of the federal coordinator's office, federal loan guarantees, and other benefits outlined in federal law.
"As the state continues debating which route to go down, this bill will jumpstart the crucial part of any plan and helps ensure we get the critical first segment of the gasline built from the North Slope to Fairbanks," Begich said.
Recognizing current efforts to build a gasline are not moving forward, Begich in September wrote a letter to Gov. Sean Parnell encouraging the State to look at creating its own loan guarantee to partner with the federal guarantee for the project.
"The State of Alaska's financial reserves make it the envy of the other 49 states and also give some members of Congress an argument against federal backing for the project," the Sept. 19 letter states. "Those same financial reserves, however, also provide an opportunity for the state to step up and work with federal financing to make this project happen."
