The city and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation are throwing open to the public the design process for a proposed rail station, kicking off an informal competition on Tuesday to solicit innovative design ideas.
NEW BEDFORD — The city and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation are throwing open to the public the design process for a proposed rail station, kicking off an informal competition on Tuesday to solicit innovative design ideas.
The station proposed for the Whale's Tooth parking lot will be built as part of the South Coast Rail project and may host a new local and inter-city bus terminal.
Anyone is eligible to enter a design in the contest, which will be judged by a seven-person panel that includes representatives from the city and state.
"Our vision for the station is that it's a place that transitions naturally from the city's neighborhoods to the working waterfront," said Kristina Egan, director of South Coast Rail for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
"We're looking for designs that are consistent with the look and feel of New Bedford and harken back to its past."
An initial conceptual design for a modern, glass-encased station was presented in June during a South Coast Rail public meeting and was quickly followed by a column by The Standard-Times' Jack Spillane sharply criticizing the design and calling for a more historic look for the station.
"Once Jack's column came out, we got a lot more input from the public," said Egan of what prompted the design contest. "We were excited that The Standard-Times kind of kick-started a larger conversation."
Entries in the design competition must be submitted by Dec. 20. The winner will receive pub
lic recognition and an award plaque, and the top designs will be displayed at the New Bedford Whaling Museum and published in The Standard-Times.
The overall goal of the contest is to generate good ideas that can inform the final design of the station, according to Mayor Scott W. Lang, who will serve on the judging panel.
"We'll pick the best pieces of each and try to come up with the spirit of the proposals," he said.
Also on Tuesday, city and state officials announced an initiative to identify ways to improve local bus service, which will culminate next summer in the release of a five-year transit development plan, according to Egan.
The initiative is a collaboration between the city, MassDOT and the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority (SRTA).
While the main goal of the South Coast Rail project is to connect the cities of Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton with Boston, a related goal is to provide better transportation connections across SouthCoast, Egan said.
A train journey does not end at the station, she said.
"We know that we need better connections between train stations and neighborhoods."

THE average house price in Scotland could exceed a quarter of a million pounds by the end of the decade, economists have predicted.
Scottish house prices could rise by nearly a third (30%) from a forecast £200,000 average this year to £259,000 by 2020, according to the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) UK and regional house price analysis.
With house buyers facing a triple whammy of affordability, stringent credit conditions and a sharp rise in lender deposit requirements, it's perhaps not surprising that Generation Rent is here for the medium term at least.Paul Brewer
House price growth in Scotland is predicted to be among the fastest in the UK, with only Northern Ireland (36%), East Midlands and South East England (31%) growing faster.
A triple whammy of rising prices, stringent credit conditions and rising deposits is tying more under-40s to private rented accommodation, PwC said.
This is expected to tip the balance towards rented accommodation by 2025, with more tenants than homeowners, it added.
More than a third of households are predicted to own their home outright by 2025 but this will be mostly older people.
Meanwhile, PwC says Scottish economic growth will be slightly slower than the UK as whole this year, at 2.4% compared with 2.6% across the UK.
Paul Brewer, government and public sector partner at PwC in Scotland, said: "With house buyers facing a triple whammy of affordability, stringent credit conditions and a sharp rise in lender deposit requirements, it's perhaps not surprising that 'Generation Rent' is here for the medium term at least.
"First-time buyers are particularly hard hit, with many now having to turn to private landlords as demand outstrips supply in the housing market.
"Affordable, quality housing is a necessity if we are to achieve our economic ambitions.
"With the right to buy scheme set to end on July 31 2016, it will be interesting to see how the Scottish Government's strategy addresses these issues and, crucially, plugs the gaps at this end of the housing market.
"Collaboration among developers, social housing providers and government alongside radical and innovative investment measures will be key to solving Scotland - and the UK's - housing market challenge."
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said: "In our main scenario we expect UK GDP growth to average around 2.6% in 2015, which is only slightly above trend but could again be the fastest growth rate in a fairly slow field of G7 economies.
"Consumer spending and business investment will remain key drivers of UK growth in 2015 and 2016, offsetting continuing weakness in net exports and planned government spending cuts.
"Risks to growth are weighted somewhat to the downside in the short term due to international risks, including uncertainties relating to Greece.
"But there are also upside possibilities in the medium term if the global environment improves."

Pokemon Card of the Day: Dialga (Call of Legends)
Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Dialga from the Call of Legends set. This is a basic, metal type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100. It has a x2 weakness to fire type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to psychic type Pokemon, and a 3 colorless energy card retreat cost. Like Deoxys from yesterday, this card is pretty bland, it doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body and it only has one move called Time Rewind which takes 4 Metal energy cards and does 70 damage and allows you to shuffle your hand into your deck. As far as strategy goes I would recommend keeping Dialga on your bench until you get 3 or 4 energy cards on it and I would consider moving it into your active Pokemon spot either when your hand is quite small or you don't have any in your hand or you need a certain card, that way when you move Dialga in you can rotate through many cards in your deck by using Dialga a couple of times in a row. The only bad thing about this card is that it is a metal type and that it has a high retreat cost so if you do put it into your active Pokemon spot I would use it until it dies because 3 energy cards is too much to waste by just moving it in for one turn and then retreating it. I would give this card a 2 out of 5 because even though it has a powerful move, since it is a basic Pokemon, its move takes to long to perform and its retreat cost is too high, if I were to use this card in my deck I would only use 1 of these in my deck. So thanks for reading today's review of Dialga from the Call of Legends set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Groudon from the same set.

Perhaps this is a good card against Vilegar (No hand, no trainers, which means No Poltergeist damage!)

Question about Time Rewind: Using the move results in your hand being shuffled into the deck. Do you get to draw any cards back out, or are you left with no cards?

Men of Distinction were popular at UGA as well as The Coachman & Four; some had appeared earlier as members of Gene Barbour & The Cavaliers
Coach and Four Reunion. It starts on June 10th; it is much more than a blast from the past. It's shaping up to be "The Party To End All Parties" if you know what I am talking about. All you need to do is read about it below in Fessa Hook's story. I know where I am headed Friday morning and I have rounded up some copies of the book which will be available for purchase. However, I am taking a couple of books I hope to get signed by some of the musicians most of whom are pictured in the book. I hope to have a number of photos for the blog beginning next Monday. I have sort of been on vacation from the blog. The real world of industrial real estate has attracted most of my attention... but this weekend I am headed to hear the sounds of authenic Carolina Beach Music featuring a lineup that will probably never be matched again.
Coachman and Four Club and Restaurant 45-Year Reunion
Fessa John Hook
The Coachman and Four Club and Resturant in Bennettsville was a beacon for Beach Music enthusiasts in the Golden Era from 1964 to 1974. It was more than the Temptations, the Four Tops, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles, Jr. Walker, the Tams, Jimmy Ruffin, Mary Wells and a host of other Beach Music all-stars. It was also the cradle and proving ground for dozens of bands who grew from regional obscurity to headliner status.
'Beach Music' at the time named a new genre of music in the Southeast. As the phrase became part of regional entertainment, high school and college kids were caught up in the magic of a culture that now spans generations.
An Atlanta road trip in the mid-60s triggered the inspiration which led the Wade R. Crow family to establish a new club for Marlboro county youth. Little did they know it would become an icon of the era as one of the exclusive venues for Rhythm & Blues performers that set the bar for future entertainment. The Coachman became one of the hottest live entertainment showcases in the Carolinas.
Both lanes of U.S. 15-401 were soon jammed with fans streaming from the north and south on weekends and holidays. As one of the pivotal centers of a Southern mini-tour for national and regional bands, the Coachman was a magnet to a generation that hungered for the unique experiences they found there and few other places.
From its origins as a drive-in movie, the original property added a skating rink, a restaurant and a dairy bar. Its metamorphoses into a club came from two inspirations during that mid 60s trip to Atlanta, when Wade Crow's family saw the enormous excitement in a Go-Go Discotheque and had breakfast at the famous Atlanta Coach and Four Restaurant.
Modest renovation allowed for a stage where bands could be seen throughout the club and not bump their heads on the rink's low ceiling. Bathrooms were added and a new dancehall was born, along with hundreds of stories still told today about the memories that have grown into the stuff of legend.
One measure of its popularity is the stories which remember that although it was only 10,800 square feet, it often took an hour to move from one end of the club to another. And moving they were, to the music of the Georgia Prophets, the Monzas, the In-Men Ltd, Willie Tee & the Magnificents, the Catalinas, and the original Men of Distinction.
Few other clubs achieved the status of the Coachman and Four. Although regional names like the Cellar in Charlotte, the Castaways and Jokers Three in Greensboro, the Embers Club in Raleigh, and the Beach Club at Myrtle Beach were big draws in their area, the Coachman and IV was central to both Carolinas drawing fans and musical talent from more than two hours away. During its heyday the club's location between Charlotte, Raleigh, and Myrtle Beach, profited from groups booked in their respective dancehalls as well as entertainers at the fraternities and sororities of regional colleges and universities.
From the parking lot of the Coachman, one could see that Beach Music not only touched innumerable Carolinians, it shaped their musical lives forever. We will celebrate the Coachman's pioneers, management, bands, bouncers, bartenders, romances, love affairs and the countless nostalgic memories which carry its legend.
The five-day June reunion (June 10 -1 4) comes 13 months after the demolition of the Coachman and IV Mecca of 60s Beach Music and forty-five years after it mushroomed to become a milestone of the Carolina Beach Music legacy. The story will continue on ... hope to see you there.
"Fessa" John Hook is director of the Endless Summer Network and author of "Shaggin' In the Carolinas," and "Beach Music Guide 1945-2006," and historical consultant to the Coachman & Four Reunion committee.
I am on my way out the door to the Windy City but I am going to take my external drive and will post some photos used in the book of some of this week's line-up in Myrtle Beach. If you are looking for something special, grab you Bass Weejuns and head to the Mecca of the Beach Music world.

He is thought to be earning an annual salary in excess of £1million for his punditry role.

Recycling at the cottage
Photo: istockphoto.com/Frances Twitty
Tradition in cottage country is changing. Recycling, a regular part of city living, is making waves in the land of lakes and trees. Lighter loads A trip to the dump can be as quintessential a cottage experience as roasting marshmallows or picking raspberries. The chance to see real black bears in their un-natural habitat often causes many tourists and cottagers to bring their camera along with their weekly trash. Those loads to the dump have gotten much lighter thanks to recycling programs started by townships with exploding summer populations. In 2005, the Dysart et al township faced looming landfill closures unless something was done. Recycling had been around for a dozen years, but the voluntary approach couldn't keep up with large quantities of waste generated by summer residents and visitors. So, in September 2005, recycling became mandatory in the town of Haliburton and the surrounding area. The result was an increase in recycling at the six townships landfill sites by 38 percent in a single season. "A lot of people came on board," said Mark Brohm, landfill manager for Dysart et al. "They were always recycling, but now they recycle better." Simple life, sophisticated recycling Most surprising, recycling programs in these sparsely populated areas are often more complete than their urban counterparts. In Muskoka, cottagers can put out just about every plastic container, fibre, and metal can. As Bob Lacroix, public works officer for Muskoka, says "if it comes from the grocery store, we can recycle it." If you visit Algonquin Provincial Park this summer, you will notice some funny looking recycling bins collecting fibres and containers. The Finnish "MOLOK" bins look short and squat, but their appearance is deceiving. They are actually quite long, but two thirds of their length is buried underground. The design means the weight of the recycled materials squishes the lower material, so more can fit into the recycling bin. That means truck travelling back and forth to empty the bins, which means fewer emissions. Plus, as an added bonus, the ground insulates and cools the bin, preventing nasty wildlife attracting odours. "We're a provincial park, dedicated to preserving ecological integrity and recycling is just part of that," said Tracy Harper, assistant park planner for Algonquin Provincial Park. One hundred and thirty of the bins have been spread among 26 campgrounds, trails, museums and businesses in the park. Organics are even being collected at camps and restaurants, and they hope to start collecting everyone's organic waste in a few years. Recycling tips for the cottage
Contact your municipal office to find out what they recycle. Chances are that you can recycle more at the cottage than at home. Get a couple bins for different types of recyclable materials. In some cottage communities, paper is picked up one week and containers the next, so separating materials into different bins will save a lot of time. Regularly clean your recyclable containers and the bins. Any residual food could attract wildlife. If you have to take your recycling to a landfill, offer to take neighbours' recycling when you go. Carpooling your recycling will cut down on greenhouse emissions and encourage others to do it.
Think outside the box. Many things that can be recycled could be reused at the cottage. Trade old summer books and magazines with other cottagers, and the recycling bin could be a treasure trove of rainy day craft supplies.Graeme Stemp-Morlock is a freelance science writer who spends his summers at Hay Lake Lodge just east of Algonquin Park.

Engineering research into packing problems has been widely undertaken in recent years. The use of component shape morphing in layout design has, however, received little attention. Shape morphing is required for fitting a component of sufficient size in a limited space while optimizing the overall performance objectives of the vehicle and improving design efficiency. To morph components that can have arbitrary shapes in layout design, a mass-spring physical model-based morphing method is proposed and implemented. Vehicle layout design with shape morphing is a multi-objective, multilevel problem with a large number of design variables. To solve this large scale problem, decomposition is adopted. At the system level, the overall performance objectives are optimized with respect to locations and orientations of components. At the component level, deformable objects are morphed to fit in the available space. A vehicle underhood layout design problem is demonstrated to illustrate the proposed approach.

Turkey's 'hand-made' carpet fields are a sight to be seen
Turkey's carpet fields are an unusual sight – but an amazing one.Winter in Morocco: It's time you tried kitesurfing in Essouaria
The hand-made carpets of all shapes and sizes are brought from various regions of Turkey and laid under the sun in fields, in the Dosemealti district of Turkey's Southern touristic province in Antalya.
This softens the colour of the textiles – and it allows the carpets to be cleaned too.
Carpet weaving is a traditional art – and Turkish carpets are sought after all over the world for their intricate designs and rich colours.

Programme website Overview of projects Programme Agreement Norway Grants Czech Republic country page
Programme Summary
Why is the Programme needed?
The lack of effectiveness of the judiciary, professional staff training and rehabilitation work with prisoners, have been identified as key problems in the Czech criminal justice system. The prison population has furthermore steadily been increasing since the year 2002, when it reached a low of 16,213 and was up to 23,154 in 2011. This has resulted in overcrowding in Czech prisons, and when combined with poor and out-dated prison conditions, the situation calls for actions to be taken.
What will the Programme achieve?
The objective of the Programme is a fairer and more efficient judicial system and improved correctional services system in compliance with relevant international human rights instruments. The Programme combines two programme areas under the Norway Grants; the area of Judicial Capacity-building and Correctional Services and thereby reaches the three main areas of the justice system: the judicial system (courts and prosecution), the probation and mediation services and the prison service. The Programme will improve the efficiency of the court system, increase competence of staff within the mediation services and the prison service, overcome problems connected to overcrowding in prisons, increase focus on vulnerable groups in prison and improve competences of inmates.
How will it be achieved?
The objective will be reached by
• refurbishing four prisons to create educational, vocational, and work facilities for inmates in those prison as well as to bring the general conditions and standards in line with international standards;
• providing training and employment for prisoners in prisons;
• extending current and implementing new educational, therapeutic and motivational programmes for prisoners such as juvenile prisoners, prisoners with drug addiction, perpetrators of traffic accidents and perpetrators of violence;
• creating information material and providing legal advice for foreign prisoners and training prison staff on special issues related to foreigners;
• implementing video conferencing in the domain of justice;
• setting up a system of further education for the employees of the Probation and Mediation Service and the Prison Service.
The Programme will be implemented through seven pre-defined projects.
How will bilateral relations be strengthened?
The Council of Europe is a Donor Programme Partner (DPP) and the aim is to establish additional Norwegian partnerships within the pre-defined projects. The Norwegian Correctional Services have already met with some of their Czech counterparts to assist in identifying possible partners for the projects and a further match making seminar is foreseen. The Czech and the Norwegian Probation and Mediation Services have already established relations through previous cooperation and the aim is to strengthen and widen the cooperation. Exchange of knowledge, study trips and conferences are foreseen during implementation of the Programme.
What are the partnership opportunities?
• The Programme is suited for partnerships of public institutions working in the judicial and correctional services sector.
• No open call is foreseen but services for construction works will be out for public procurement.
Who can apply for funding under this Programme?
There are only pre-defined projects under the programme and no open calls for proposals.

It starts with just a little hole
Within a wall or beam
You reach out to have a feel
Are things really as they seem?
You get the ladder to have a look
And inspect it with your hand
It crumbles leaving a bigger gap
And covering the floor with sand
Now as you peer with growing dread
To see what you have done
The hole is now much larger
You can see the shining sun!
Could it be wood rot,
could it be mould
Could it just be
That the building is old?
So starts the long road
Of restore and repair
A road of some good times
But mostly despair
With five steps moving forward
There's ten taken back
Moods go from whistling
To moody and black
I'm tired and I'm cranky
My hair is in a mess
How my nails will ever be the same
Well that is anyone's guess
Make up covers the blue circles
I'm bruised, my muscles ache
The body is tired, the mind is a wreck
Have we made a dreadful mistake?
We've gone through three sanders
Shares in band-aids now have soared
Dust covers everything
One can never really be bored
But there's light at the end of the tunnel
And it's not an oncoming train
It's all coming together in leaps and in bounds
Despite all the worry and pain
There are new walls and new loo's
New fireplace, and floor
And a sanded down staircase
That was ugly before
It's going to be cute
And it's going to be bright
We're starting to breathe easier
everything's going to be alright!

My Father was just diagnosed with stage 2 unmutated CLL. He has enlarged nodes on his neck, his spleen is enlarged, and his WBC has gone from 42,000 to 72,000 in less than a month and 91% are lymphocytes so they are rushing to start Ibrutinib. He asked his Dr. about protecting his kidneys and about TLS and at first the Dr. said there is nothing to take, but later after the APRN asked the Dr about it, the Dr said he would prescribe Allopurinol with the Ibrutinib. My main questions for you are:
1) Has anyone used Allopurinol from the start of Ibrutinib?
2) Does anyone notice any red flags here? I am very nervous that he has not seen a CLL specialist but I cannot force him : (
Thank you SO much for your help and community.

American Education at a Glance.
National Center for Education Statistics (ED), Washington, DC.
This brochure presents essential facts about educational trends in the United States in table or graph form. Trends are detailed in 16 tables and six graphs related to the following: (1) participation in education; (2) number of schools; (3) enrollment; (4) teachers; (5) revenues; (6) expenditures; and (7) educational attainment. Over 25% of the people in the United States are students or are employed by schools or colleges. About 15,400 school districts operated over 83,000 public elementary schools and secondary schools in 1989. There were about 26,800 private elementary schools and secondary schools and about 3,500 colleges and universities. After years of decline, public elementary school and secondary school enrollment began to rise in 1985, as did enrollment in higher education. Mean salaries for the nation's more than 2.7 million elementary school and secondary school teachers have risen steadily, although more slowly than the inflation rate of the late 1970s and more rapidly than the inflation rate of the 1980s. In 1979, the state share of revenues for schools rose above the local share for the first time. The Federal share has remained relatively small. Expenditures for both elementary and secondary education and higher education were rising in 1989. Dropout rates for blacks and all students were declining; and the numbers of associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees were increasing. Five sources for the data are listed, including preeminently NCES's "Digest of Education Statistics, 1991."

By 2050, FAO estimates that the global population will have reached 9.1 billion people. To feed this population, the world will need to produce significantly more food: 3 billion more tons of cereal and over 200 million more tons of meat products per year. At the same time, however, we face a lack of arable land upon which farmers can expand their production, as well as increasing competition for natural resources and decreasing soil fertility.

Ed and I stayed at Rubicon. It was sweltering, but doing the warm ups in the heat made me feel quite dizzy. I am hoping to blame the malarial death bite on my elbow (going to the docs about it today. Shouldnt last a week should bites, and, it really knocked me for 6 and is more swollen than you'd expect. Suspect they shall just recommend anti histamines). Ed was having redpoint attempts on Caviar, and to be honest he looked pretty good on it. It could have been on, but it was one of those days when you only get a couple of goes before your hands go hot and red.
Harry, Mina and Neil were all there to boulder, and then to try Salar. I decided I would attempt to flash Too Old to be Bold. My attempt ended beside the first bolt. My hands hurt and felt cheesy on the grips, my skin was rolling off the sharp painful crimps. Worked out a sequence and lowered off.
Ed strips caviar and prepares for a flash attempt on totbb. He wobbles, moans about the holds but keeps it together and pushes through to the top. A fine effort. I grit my teeth, get to the top but slip off the jug and clatter to the ground again. Thankfully, my next go is succesful and I can take my boots off and relax. I celebrate my latest ascent by going for a shit. The two events are comparible.
Dylan has a go and finds himself slithering around on the crux footholds. He decides not to bother and strips the route. We drive home. The end.

It doesn't really matter if you want to use your computer to make money or if you want to use your living room to host network parties, there are thousands of different home business models you could follow and potentially be successful. However, you need to know how to approach it all first. Here are some great home business tips.
If you are running a business out of your home, it is vital that you keep excellent records and documentation of all of your business expenses. Keeping a good record of everything you spend on your business will provide you with the proof you need should you home business be audited by the IRS.
When beginning any home business, it is important to get your name out there on the market. One big way to do this is by giving away free products or samples, or coupons for discounts. Getting the customer to try your product and service is key to building a customer base and to making your business a household name.
To ensure a successful home business, utilize the internet to its fullest ability. The internet today offers very valuable information, resources, guides, and tips for those starting, operating, and moving forward with a home business. Whatever niche you lie within, using the internet could be your biggest asset for a future of security and success.
To run a home business successfully, you should strive to choose an industry where you have some background and expertise. Your industry knowledge and experience will help you in making contacts, evaluating your competition and gaining credibility among your customers. Starting a home business in an industry where you are less familiar will make many of the key tasks of starting a business much more difficult.
Research the legal aspects of owning a home business very well. There could be paperwork, filing, and other legal requirements for your type of business, so it is always a must to ensure that you are aware of the legalities that surround your business, no matter what it may be.
Attend seminars that discuss how to start a home business. The Small Business Adminstration is one organziation that offers such seminars free of charge. Look online for other organizations offering seminars or classes in your area. Be wary of anyone offering a seminar that promises dramatic results in a very short time frame. Starting and running any business takes time, effort and dedication.
Do not forget about taxes! When you are running a home business, it is easy to put aside the thought of paying the government. However, you not only have to pay federal and state taxes, but you also must pay something called a self-employment tax. It may be best to obtain the help of an accountant to get you started.
You have decided to start a home business. The first thing you do is head for the internet. But soon you realize it is not so simple. You are presented with an endless number of possibilities. How to find the right website or platform for your business? The most likely source is through your network of friends and acquaintances, who pass on their experiences to you.
Advice from entrepreneurs who have been in your shoes when they looked to start their own home business, can be some of the most important advice you hear before you embark on your own home based business plan. Not all problems can be anticipated, but being as prepared as possible can only be a good thing.

Willie Doherty
Out of the Shadows II
"I focused on how the political and physical merged" analyzes Willie Doherty. Out of the Shadows II plunges us into a dark night lit by a few street lights in a deserted street where a car is parked in the Irish city of Derry. What is at stake is yet to be unearthed. The context of this picture is not revealed immediately. The pre-text or the information and interpretations made ??by the spectator puts the image in the "troubled" political context of Northern Ireland (a car bomb?) led by the sectarian resentment between communities (the wall evokes a zone of non-visibility). In contrast to the iconography of terrorism in the media, Doherty does not capture the moment of violence itself, but rather an "anti-headline," the location of a possible confrontation, past or future. Thus, "Out of the Shadows II" substitutes the narrative of the event with a political image, embracing the event's description with the aesthetics of the urban landscape.
Much of the work of Willie Doherty - as pointed out in his 2007 retrospective at the Kunstverein Hamburg and Munich Lenbachhaus - is built around Derry City in Northern Ireland, the birthplace of the Irish artist. His photographs, stories, videos, and installations are driven by the internecine war and political-religious agitation in Northern Ireland between the nationalist community predominantly Catholic and the unionist Protestant majority that has occurred since the late 60's. The city and public space are the scene of civil conflicts. In the video "Three Potential Endings" (2008) political space is allegorized in the architecture. The work of Doherty transforms these "non-places" into sets. In "Grey Day IX" (2007), the idea of ??borders, understood as a separation is less cernable and more diffuse. Daily and anonymous violence in an intolerant public space is denounced. His images raise the question of the representation of political confrontation, through the use of codes in art and cinema, and by means of image and text. Tension, oppression, uncertainty, and fear are like a sub-representation without specific references in the picture.
Willie Doherty was born in 1959 in Derry, Ireland where he lives and works today.

|Light Brown
|Personal Status
|Manga Debut:
|Chapter 24

|Noragami Aragoto Episode 08
|Japanese Voice:
|Kaito Ishikawa
|English Voice:
|Clifford Chapin
Fujisaki Kouto (藤崎浩人, Fujisaki Kōto) is a third year student at Hiyori Iki's school. He is possessed by Yato and Nora's "Father".
Fujisaki is a young man of average height with neatly set hair that reaches to his neck. In the manga, his hair and eyes are colored a light-brown - in the anime adaptation however, his eyes are colored red.
While acting polite in front of "friends" and strangers, he is actually sadistic and fickle, able to harm or kill another human being just to test out his abilities. His hatred of gods leads him to treat them as playthings--uncaring about what they may feel. This was shown by his physical and psychological abuse of Yato, and his replies to Bishamonten about everything that he was responsible for (Kugaha's betrayal, Ebisu's death, Tsuguha's transformation into a Karma Ayakashi).
While his hatred is mainly towards the Gods, he also seems to see humans as puppets and pathetic as well, showing disdain for them and enjoys playing with them. He often uses his brushes to control people, once causing an old woman to jump out a window while smiling and another time sending a person to be killed in a car accident and enjoying it, showing extremely sadistic, sociopathic tendencies. He can also be very petty, such as when he reveals to Yato that he kissed Hiyori for seemingly no reason other than upsetting him.
Fujisaki had been to and returned from Yomi, taking with him the first Phantom Brush (Koto no Ha). He seems to be connected to a woman with freckles, as Izanami uses this woman's looks during his time in Yomi. However, at some point in time, the woman died and this appears to have become his primary reason for loathing gods and, therefore, the wish that created Yato. This seems to be further proven by the fact that in chapter 61, Nana shows sympathy for Fujisaki, saying he must have had someone he loved who was killed by the heavens because he wouldn't have called them lowly Gods otherwise.
Yato Edit
Fujisaki is referred to as Yato's "father". Yato was created by a wish from Fujisaki as a god of calamity. They have a master-servant relationship but they do not care for each other, though it is seen that, as a child, Yato was very happy whenever he praised him. Fujisaki has not communicated with Yato since he was forced to return to their place, meaning he does not know that it is Fujisaki whom their father is possessing at the moment. Which is why, despite having met Fujisaki before, he does not recognize him as anyone other than Hiyori's schoolmate.
In chapter 44, Father reveals himself to Yato as Fujisaki, and also tells Yato that he has kissed Hiyori.
Nora Edit
As "Father"'s shinki, her name is Mizuchi (meaning "cruel"). She only listens to Fujisaki's orders. He also refers to her as his "kid".
Iki Hiyori Edit
Hiyori is Fujisaki's schoolmate. While walking to school one day, Hiyori accidentally steps on a soda can and trips, but is caught and helped by Fujisaki. Later, Hiyori is invited by one of her friends, Yama, to go on a group date to Capypa Land with three other guys, Fujisaki included. At the end of their date, when the parade begins, Fujisaki ends up stealing Hiyori's first kiss. Ever since then she has started avoiding him, and thus increased Fujisaki's interest towards her. In chapter 48, Fujisaki reveals to Hiyori that he is in fact Yato's dad. He continues by threatening her to stay away from Yato, to which Hiyori counters by saying that she will take him on. While being unwavering in front of Fujisaki, Hiyori later breaks down. She turns into a half-Phantom.
Unnamed woman Edit
Izanami once mentioned in chapter 33 that Father went to the underworld to retrieve one of her brushes and Izanami, who appears to whoever looks at her as the woman closest to them, appeared as a freckled woman to Father. Since Nora is the only female Father is shown close to in the present, it could be this woman is related to him in the past and may be the reason behind his hatred for the Heavens, God, and all of humanity.
Skills & AbilitiesEdit
- Yomi no Koto no Ha. Fujisaki is in possession of at least two brushes (his and Ebisu's), giving him the ability to summon and control Ayakashi. The full extent of his power is unknown. He also said that Ebisu's brush was much better than his old one, because the old one creates masks that are weak against sunlight. He can utilize the power of brush even through with Chiki (Chapter 50).
- Liberation. The Shinki who were struck by Chiki, his Shinki, will obtain memories of their former lives that were sealed by their new name being forcibly pried open and become trapped in their past.

Babysitter admits assisting theft
A woman of Wileville, Canada, is spending two months on house arrest for being an accomplice to a theft at the home where she babysat.
On July 22, 2010, Ms. Peterson left a backpack containing three laptop computers, an iPod, and an engagement ring on a step of the residence where she'd been babysitting on and off for nearly a year. She then took the children to a nearby park, expecting a male friend to pick up the items.
Ms. Peterson later told police she felt pressured to aid in the theft as the man requested because he'd been violent with her in the past. She'd been on probation for about a month at the time on an assault charge.
For about seven weeks after the crime, she continued to babysit for the family until police confronted her and she confessed. The homeowner said the offense and the realization of who was responsible was devastating for her family- they've lost a sense of trust and security, the children won't stay with a sitter, and they insist that their home is checked for intruders before they'll go inside. The family also had to pay thousands of dollars for an insurance deductible, replacement costs, and a home alarm system.
"My children loved, trusted and respected this woman," she said. "I still struggle with the whole incident, how someone we trusted not only with our children but with our home as well, could do something like this."
The Judge told the babysitter she took advantage of the family's trust. "The very children that you were supposed to look after and see to their security and their well-being and safety, those are the people that you have harmed the most," the judge said. "They don't know who to trust. They don't feel comfortable or safe in their own home. That's what this theft from their home has done to them."
At the same time, the judge called her background "horrendous," saying, "Nobody deserves to have the early upbringing that you had." The babysitter is addicted to intravenous drugs and was using at the time of the crime.
Background checks should be the first step in recruiting a safe caregiver and babysitter for your children. Protect your family with a background check from Background Checks for Nannies by True Hire.

In so much excitement to walk the first 400 yards to make it into England, we were up and leaving by 8.45, and although there was only a sign to greet us, it was enough. A full sense of achievement was felt and realisation that although we still had 4 weeks remaining, we were now 400 miles closer to home.
After a full on photo shoot at the sign we continued on heading for Hesket New Market. Walking through the footpaths of the Lake District was amazing; mountains (tall hills) and farmland of grasses that had grown to hip height surrounded us, with no cars to break the silence.
We arrived at Hesket New Market by 6pm; its a beautiful little village with grey stone cottages and boasts the only pub in the country to be funded by the villagers- for which they are paid in beer. We were staying in a lovely small hotel, and ate dinner in the pub- which also happens to be the only restaurant in the village (served by a very handsome young chap).
By the end of the night I found myself in the middle of a field trying to find signal to phone home- the whole place was just lovely. Welcome home!

Psychic and General Protection
I got a message last night whilst in bed, telling me that I needed to send out another Newsletter to you, this time about protecting ourselves, why we need to and how to do so.
One of the main things I say to people attending my Heal Your Home courses is that if there is one thing that you take away from this weekend let it be that you psychically protect yourselves every day from now on.
It is so important to keep yourself clear of other people's thought patterns and their detrimental emotions, to be your own person and not be influenced by anything that might want to cloud your judgement or feelings.
Many of the problems that people face day to day can be caused by 'attachments', blobs of other people's emotional energy (pages 95 to 100 in my book), that can link to our auras and latch onto our chakras. By practicing psychic protection each and every morning, before you leave the house, should help alleviate much of the stress and strains of what we call life.
By keeping yourself clear of these detrimental energy patterns those niggly headaches may go, you may feel lighter and brighter able to cope with daily life better than before, thoughts become happier, you stop dwelling on needless angst and start to become a problem solver…not a victim!
Before I get out of bed in the morning I always, without fail, go through the following exercise, it was given to me by my good friend and healer Andy Roberts (see page 39 in my book) who was worried that my current protection wasn't strong enough for some of the dark places that I was going with my healing work.
We have seven main chakras connected to our physical body and we visualise the intake of each breathe coming through those individual points. Should you wish a see the positions of the chakras please log onto www.dowsingspirits.co.uk, go to Media/Press and then Book Files (you might need to enter my eldest son's name Alistair to get there) then click on number 6.
Ideally you sit quietly and take two deep breaths (it doesn't matter where you are) but standing up is fine as is laying down.
Now breathe the colour red in through your base chakra, imagine it filling up your body, and then at the top of your breath exhale, cleansing your body of all detrimental energy patterns, and it will form a 2" layer of red around your physical body.
Next breath in orange through your sacral chakra, filling up your body, and then exhale cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, forming a second layer around you, outside the red.
Now breathe in yellow through your solar plexus and then out, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, to form a third layer around you, just like an onion
Through your heart chakra breathe in green and on the out breath, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, it forms a fourth layer around you
Then breathe in light blue through your throat chakra and on the out breath, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, it then forms a fifth barrier
Through your third eye or brow chakra breathe in dark blue and then exhale, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, to form a sixth layer
And through your crown chakra breathe in purple and then out, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, to form a seventh layer around you
Staying with your crown breathe in a silver light, visualise in filling your body, and then out, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, to form an eighth layer
Then gold through your crown chakra and out, cleansing the body of all detrimental energy patterns, to form a ninth and final barrier
Finally breathe in divine white light filling up your body from the tips of your toes to the top of your head
Ask that any detrimental energy that has been dislodged be taken to the light.
You are now fully protected
I will be running various Heal Your Home courses through October and November, in them I explain in greater detail about 'Psychic Protection and attachments' also many other problems that affect us and our family in a detrimental way.
Healing one's house of these detrimental patterns is so important, it allows us to live a happier, healthier and more peaceful life.
With my best wishes

MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - Uruguay qualified for the Rugby World Cup for a fourth time with a 32-31 win over Canada in the second leg of their Americas regional qualifier in Montevideo on Saturday.
The result gave the South Americans a 70-60 aggregate win and means they will take their place in Japan next year in Pool D, alongside Australia, Wales, Georgia and Fiji.
Canada, who have participated in every World Cup since the tournament began in 1987, will now go into November's four-team repechage playoff for the 20th and final World Cup berth.
Uruguay won the first leg 38-29 in Vancouver last week but Canada looked intent on overcoming the nine-point deficit to secure an aggregate win.
The visitors raced to a 15-0 lead with two early tries but Uruguay touched down before the break to reach the interval 18-10 down.
Uruguay, however, took control of the contest early in the second period, scoring tries in the 41st and 64th minutes to move ahead.
Both sides continued to add points as the game swung back and forth but Uruguay held on, with flyhalf Berchesi Pisano kicking 17 points and centre Vilaseca Hontou grabbing two tries for the winners.
Uruguay appeared at the 1999 and 2003 tournaments, winning one pool match in each, before returning to the finals in 2015, where they lost all four matches in England and Wales.
"We are deeply disappointed to be in this position of not having qualified as Americas 2 for the 2019 Men's Rugby World Cup," Allen Vansen, chief executive officer of Rugby Canada said after the loss.
"We appreciate that the Canadian rugby community is dismayed at this result. This is not acceptable for Canadian rugby."
Vansen added that the Canadians still hoped to qualify via the repechage and would work to prepare for the November matches.

A Brief Note on Camping
Camped, this weekend.
And by camped, I mean put a tent out in a campground, and then proceeded to follow my three-year-old nephew around for 24 hours to keep him from peeing on things.
I don't know how many times you need to be told not to pee on the red cooler, but judging by my nephew's responsiveness to the admonishments, it's at least seventeen times.
Seriously, though. If there's a kid who's embraced the idea that, as a man, the World is his Toilet, it is my nephew. Oddly, he is one that fights having to go the bathroom, unless it is suggested that he may pee in the grass. Shyam and he were engaged in a fine game that involved her blowing bubbles and he popping them. Despite the fact that he was visibly, physically uncomfortable, he kept with the game of popping bubbles until it was said he could go pee. Which he did joyously, though a little wary that Shyam would be blowing bubbles in his absence.
A good weekend. My sister, the nephew, Shyam and I loaded up and wandered up to the Chilhowee campground, surrounding Beeyooteefull Lake McKamy. Tremendous weekend for it. Warm, verging on hot during the day, and cool at night. Clear as a bell both days, which says something, considering the quickest way to end a drought in my neck of the woods seems to be handing me a tent and telling me to camp someplace nearby.
Also? Complete lack of crowds. Shyam chalks it up to this being the weekend after a holiday, and I'm not one to disagree. We found a walk-in site on the B-Loop. We had neighbors on the other fork of the walk-in, but they were like us--just looking for a quiet place to hang their hats for an evening.
There was swimming. And hiking. And a brief moment where we thought Duke, my sister's dog, who also camped with us, might try to eat the man who was emptying the trash bins for the park service.
It was the second time this summer we've made it camping. Which is good. It used to be a regular outing, whether it be with family or friends. Then both family and friends started having kids, and for some reason weren't willing to drag a 3-month-old out into the woods for an evening. Some of the kids are getting older, so hopefully we'll start making the pilgrimage a little more regularly...

14 July 2016 | in World University Championships, Beach Volleyball
PARNU - On the first competition day of the 8th WUC Beach Volleyball Championship there were 32 thrilling matches both in the men's and women's tournament.
On Thursday all the pairs play their last group stage match at first. Those who will win the group get themselves a free evening and move directly to the second play-off round, others will play one more match after the draw. Teams who will finish the group stage in fourth place, play their quarterfinals for places 25-32, for second and third place teams there will first be a play-off round game that decides which of them move on to TOP 16.
Yesterday, 13 July, 13 men's and 14 women's pairs won their matches. Among the female athletes there were this year's U20 European Championships bronze medallists Viktoryia Siakretava and Viktoryia Shalayeuskaya. "Of course we are happy that we won today's matches. The first one against the Chinese pair that we won 21-13, 21-23, 15-13 was really difficult," they said. "And the orgnisation of the world championship is super. Great thanks to the organisers," the Belarusian pair added.
In men's tournament one of the tournament's favourites Thomas Kunert and Christoph Dressler from Austria also opened their campaign with straight victories. In a first match they defeated Canadian pair Devon Dunn and Dallas Keith 21-14, 21-17 and then the host's duo Siim Ennemuist/Dmitri Korotkov 21-19, 21-18.
However, they said that the first game was strongly affected by the weather. "It was difficult. Here in Pärnu there is a lot of wind which makes beach volleyball a totally different game, but at least it is getting better and the sun makes a difference," the Austrians stated.
Despite the weather they played a good game. "We tried to focus on our own way of playing – the aim was to play calm and confident and I think we managed to do this."
Kunert and Dressler are trying to lead Austria to become the overall winner of the WUC Beach Volleyball 2016. "At the last championships we got the bronze medal so this year we definitely hope to win," the Austrians confidently added.
Less than month ago Kunert and Dressler were part of the victorious Austrian team which triumphed in the 2014-2016 CEV Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Final in Stavanger, Norway to secure a second quota place for their country to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. After the 2016 WUC Beach Volleyball they keep their fingers crossed for Austrian teams in the Olympic Games and hope that they will win at least one medal.
Estonian team Mart Tiisaar and Kusti Nõlvak also won both of their opening day matches. Japan and Belarus pairs managed to score only 51 points combined against them in four sets. "We had a good start in the tournament. We get used to the wind and everything is getting pretty smooth right now," Nõlvak commented. "From now on every opponent is going to be much tougher and already tomorrow the opponents are going to be very though. So it is going to be difficult task to win the pool," Tiisaar added.

FuelED® with Jared
Here are a few nutrition tips to up your spinning game. Before class, make sure you have either had a healthy meal within the last 3-4 hours or a small snack 1-2 hours before class. Meals should be balanced including some carbohydrate, protein and fat. Each of these macronutrients plays an important part in our health. Think of carbohydrates as the fuel in the gas tank—that's what we use for energy. Protein is used as building blocks to repair broken down muscle. Fat is important to blunt the absorption of carbohydrates to provide long-lasting fuel and increase satiety. Snacks should be balanced and easy to digest. Try to find a carbohydrate and protein combination. For example, grab a peach and some cottage cheese, an apple and string cheese or a banana with some peanut butter.
Hydrate. Bring a water bottle with you to work. A quick, easy way to know your fluid requirements is to divide your weight in half and drink that much in ounces. For example, a 120 lbs person should drink at least 60 oz fluid each day. Being even slightly dehydrated can make you feel tired during the day and weak on the spin bike.
During class, focus on hydration. If you are doing a 45 minute class, stick with water. If you are doing a 2 hour endurance ride, consider bringing something with some carbohydrate and electrolytes. You can use a drink like Gatorade® or Powerade®, but I would recommend Scratch Labs®. They have less sugar and more electrolytes. Also, the ingredients are more natural and the flavoring is from real fruit!
After class you should focus on getting something to eat within 30 minutes. If you are not going to have a healthy meal in that time, find a snack with lean protein and carbohydrate to recover and refuel. Make sure you focus on hydration as well. Think about how much you sweat during those Surge parties.
If you have questions about sports nutrition or healthy eating, make sure to sign up to see me, the Surge Dietitian!

When Billboard magazine touted the 10th anniversary of Rhino Records (known for its kooky sense of humor) in a recent ad supplement, the copy heralded the label's achievements in National Enquirer-style, with garish headlines and startling photos.
One headline: "Rhino Scientists Unveil One-Inch Compact Discs!" It was accompanied by a photo of a scientist displaying one (it was actually a washer).
Not everybody got the joke. Last week Rhino President Richard Foos got a wire from Yoshihisa Honda, international director of the Tokyo-based Victor Records: "I am very much interested in your one-inch CD. I would appreciated it if you could send me one sample of it. Thanks. . . . "

So, what's your telephone strategy? is a question Seth Godin recently posed. It is a good question with a simple answer: "We don't have a telephone strategy." The telephone is a tool, a simple medium, and its only purpose is to connect us to interested human beings. And then the internet comes along with all its mystique and suddenly we need a social media strategy. But do we?
The world (and that includes financial services) is becoming far less deferent to single sources of authority and increasingly influenced by broader, more personal sources. But this is not new and so-called new media is essentially no more than an outworking of this trend.
Much of what's holding advisers back is the perceived mystique. Advisers recognise the growing influence of social media yet most are struggling to fully harness its benefits and translate time spent into tangible business value. The key to unlocking value is remembering that social media is a tool and tools do very little on their own. We need to be clear about what we want to achieve through their application and that is down to us and our people.
When we understand the story we want our brand to tell, social media can help tell that story in a powerful way through:
1: Listening to the market: Social media is an effective way of communicating to and with peers about market and business-related opportunities and challenges.
2: Researching and targeting clients. Twitter and Facebook offer the opportunity to target specific demographics and more intimately understand the interests and needs of specific client groups.
3: Client retention. Often over-looked, social media represents a good and low-cost way to continually add value to clients through regular engagement, whether it is new updates, relevant articles or content aligned to personal interests.
4: Brand building. About 75 per cent of people ask their community before making a decision – social media creates a powerful brand footprint, providing the opportunity to influence those that influence key financial decisions.
5: Client acquisition: Advertising is incredibly targeted on specific demographics.
So back to my original question…do we need a social media strategy? All of these media are conduits, they are tools. Behind each of the tools is a person. The more important question is: do you have a story to tell that person? A reason to engage or a benefit to offer them?
As Seth points out, figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.

My dear sister is traveling with me for company. We filled the trunk completely with suitcases for 8 days along with craft items to work on Christmas cards. This is day 5 and the crafts are sitting in the suitcases unopened, the back seat if full of shopping treasures. While I was in meetings and classes, she at least relearned how to crochet. I am praying when I get out of my classes today, I will open the suitcases and START!
"Did you know that you are in Arizona and the power-ball game is over 500 million or something like that...please go buy tickets..."
We were so relaxed, we forgot to take photos of the desk and post this blog!
We hope to work again tonight then pack back up and head to California.
If you are wondering why in the heck I am blogging and showing photos of suitcases, go to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground. Julia started the "What's on your workweek - Wednesday" group. Each Wednesday, we get to be snoopy and peek at desktops all over the world! Come join us!

The baby jane's are adorable, as are the Christmas tree cards. My hubs was traveling and called me too late to have me go buy a power ball (as we normally don't play). But the wine would have been good.
Have a terrific week.

Good for you, managing to get some crafting done on the road! I like your cards with embossing and sparkle. I don't usually make cards with lots of layers because my trimmer doesn't always want to cut straight, but it gives them such a finished look. Hope the rest of your trip went well. (Thanks for visiting me!) ~ Laura #93

I love that you're crafting out of a suitcase! That's determination for you! Love the cards and the little baby slippers are so cute! Hope you enjoyed your road trip. I keep the clock in the room just so I can keep an eye on the time if I need to. I think it's out of habit to be honest!
