A.G. Dickens and His Reformation. (Frontline)
Haigh, Christopher, History Today
GEOFF DICKENS WAS one of the dominating historians of Tudor England, from the 1960s until the 1980s. Dickens, G.R. Elton and J.E. Neale set the agenda and seemed to be giving most of the answers. Like Elton and Neale, Dickens wrote stylishly, had big ideas, and didn't take kindly to criticism or disagreement. Like them, his books appealed to an audience beyond the historical profession, and were widely used by students. Like them, he even managed to write about Europe. And like them -- well, like all of us -- his views and experiences marked his works heavily.
Dickens was born in 1910, and died on July 31st, 2001 at the age of ninety-one. He taught at Keble College, Oxford from 1933 until 1949 (except for war service that took him to Germany); at the University of Hull from 1949 until 1962; and at King's College London from 1962 until 1967 -- when he became director of the Institute of Historical Research, and an academic organiser and diplomat. "Although he kept on writing, his original work was over by 1964 -- but he continued to have a major impact.
Most of Dickens' primary research was on religion in Tudor Yorkshire. His early articles looked at the writings and collections of a south-Yorkshire curate, Robert Parkyn (whom Dickens dubbed `the last medieval Englishman'), and the growth of Catholic recusancy from the 1570s to 1604. It was clear that he didn't think much of traditional Catholicism. And then, in the court records of the diocese of York, Dickens discovered popular heresy -- ordinary Yorkshire people who were late Lollards and early Protestants. This new work led to Lollards and Protestants in the Diocese of York in 1959, and an important paper on `Heresy and the origins of English Protestantism' in 1962. Dickens had found men and women who disliked Catholicism before Luther told them to, and men and women who converted to Protestantism as soon as it was on offer. The Dickens Reformation was on its way.
It arrived in 1964. By any standards, The English Reformation was a remarkable book, and it had a remarkable effect. It was a textbook, clearly written and organised, and highly successful -- but it contained a lot of detailed research and embodied a significant reinterpretation of the Reformation in England. Dickens insisted that the Reformation had deep English roots (in Lollardy and anticlericalism), that it was authentically Protestant (with ideas adapted from Germany and Switzerland), and that it was popular -- people wanted it, and responded to it enthusiastically. To an arid history of statutes and prayer books, Dickens had added people and ideas -- a sailor learning Lutheranism in Germany, a boy beaten by his father for reading the Bible: Protestant people and Protestant ideas. The book was well-reviewed, and became a steady seller.
Lollards and Protestants and The English Reformation created a whole new approach to Reformation history, and sent a generation of graduate students scurrying into county record offices. Many were looking for heretics, and others were counting wills. Dickens had popularised the study of will preambles, the introductory formulae of testaments which could, he suggested, be identified as Catholic or Protestant and used to track the progress of religious change. Dickens' own use of preambles was restrained, but he had generated a statistical industry and a large-scale methodological controversy. He had also generated area studies of the Reformation, and soon there were enough of them to sustain a biennial Colloquium for Local Reformation Studies. The English Reformation had lots of academic chickens, but some of them came home to roost.
The English Reformation showed that Dickens could write for a non-academic audience, and make the history of religion interesting in an increasingly secular age. …

I was given pills which are white marked watson 540. I received the same medication before however it was blue with the exact same markings. I cant find it on the internet in white. Does watson make both?

Watson changed the color of all their acetaminophen and hydrocodone pills to white from the start of 2013 so the pill you have will be one of their new batches.
Thank you. I have been in alot of pain due to colon cancer. This med normally suffices. Since given the white ones they do not seem to work. Sounds crazy but its true
How do you know this? I just received the same thing (white instead of blue) and was kinda put off as well. I am used to getting the same medication and of course wonder will this new "look" work the same as the old? Any info would be appreciated. I'm sure I'm just conditioned to receiving certain ones and any changes makes me feel uncomfortable but if they work then that's fine with me.
Why did they change the color? That's what I want to know. Why just change the color... unless they changed something else that they don't want us to know about? The government doesn't care about how much or even IF we're in pain. Probably some kind of scheme between Big Pharma and the Government...
The old Soma, marked DAN 5513 used to be white and slightly powdery to the touch. But those were changed to a slightly glossy white tablet and I stopped taking them because they were about 1/3 as effective as they were before the change. Guess this one is going down the same path...
I have been on pain management for over a decade following a disabling accident. I know have 3 metal parts. I have taken several pain relievers. I was able to function well with the blue loratab Watson 540 without having to take stronger meds. The white ones are not the same and just don't work as well no mater who says what. I have discussed this with my pharmacist and two of my doctors now and they have seen the same problem from just about everyone who had success with the blue Watson 540's. They don't help the pain and give me a "buzz" the blue ones did not.
The suspicion seems to be that these are being imported. It seems to be a common problem. My pain management doctor wrote a prescription for name brand, "medical necessity". However, the price was prohibitive. I have since settled on the Pink V 3600 generic. They still just don't last as long or seem to do as good a job as the old "blue Watson". I still have a couple of old "blues" I am holding on to for the bad days. I am real concerned as to when they run out. I will be trying different generics in hope that I can find something that works as well with out having to go up to percocets which has also been a suggestion.
Please Watson, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! I just want to be as functional as possible without the buzz of stronger meds.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.
Are you one of those people who finished their Christmas shopping in August? If you are, then you have my admiration and amazement. I'm one of those people who like to give homemade, so I pretty much devote my time to crafting and baking gifts. Once that part is out of the way, then I have to start shopping for those who'll be getting store-bought presents. Of course, it's usually already the 23rd or even the 24th by then. With the Christmas crowd and general madness, I like to pick just one store with guaranteed cool items, so I can do all of my shopping there and get out before I turn into Ebenezer Scrooge.
I was over at Pier 1 and there are so many items that would make great holiday gifts for all the people I need to get something for. My sister and I love pashminas, so this one would make a cool present that I can borrow as well, hehe:
I checked out their clearance items and saw this neat autumn leaves mirror that would make a fab present for my mom. It now also costs more than $10 less than the original price. I could even find some things for myself. Considering my whimsical and eclectic decorating style, it's easy enough to do that. I really like the metal fleur-de-lis 10 votive holder, the jeweled peacock wood frame and the green wire bird cage that I saw. They're all listed under clearance so the prices are much lower. If you're there and thinking of getting something for me, those buttercream vanilla fragrance beads would be perfect (also on sale now).
Btw, you can spread some holiday cheer simply by liking Pier 1 Imports on Facebook. It takes next to no effort from you and they will donate a dollar to Toys for Tots for every new fan they get. For the months of November and December, you can also drop off toy or cash donations for Toys for Tots at the register.

An Edinburgh University academic may become the first woman to break through the Church of Scotland's so-called stained-glass ceiling later this month.
Alison Elliot, associate director of Edinburgh University's Centre for Theology and Public Issues, has been nominated along with one other woman for the post of moderator of the general assembly of the Church of Scotland.
The Kirk's appointments committee will vote on the nominations later this month. The honorary post is held for a year.
Women have been ordained ministers in the Kirk since 1968, but no woman has been elected moderator. There is growing pressure for that to change.
It is not unusual for an academic to be moderator: the current post-holder is Iain Torrance, professor in patristics and Christian ethics at Aberdeen University.
Dr Elliot was ordained at Edinburgh's Greyfriars Tolbooth and Highland Kirk in 1984. This year she was awarded an OBE for services to the Church of Scotland and ecumenical relations. She chairs the Scottish Churches' Forum, which represents the nine mainstream churches north of the border.
She was born in Edinburgh, and she took an MA in mathematics with general linguistics at Edinburgh University, followed by an MSc in experimental psychology at Sussex University. She returned to Edinburgh to take a PhD in children's language development. She lectured in psychology at Lancaster and Edinburgh universities before moving to the school of divinity.

Blogs > Lions Lowdown
One thing you can count on with the Detroit Lions is that they are never, ever boring. Follow the latest news including injuries, roster moves and more here daily from Oakland Press beat writer Paula Pasche. Plus you'll find regular commentary about the team.
As expected, rookie cornerback Nevin Lawson was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday ending his season. Lawson dislocated his toes in Sunday's loss at Carolina and underwent immediate surgery.
To fill his roster spot the Lions signed 28-year-old cornerback Danny Gorrer (in photo).
Gorrer spent the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Bucs where he played in 13 games and started one. Prior to that he was with the Seattle Seahawks (2012), the Baltimore Ravens (2011) and the St. Louis Rams (2009).
The Lions sent safety Nate Ness back to the practice squad on Monday creating another roster spot. They used that to sign linebacker Julian Stanford off the practice squad. It's likely Stanford will fill in for Travis Lewis, who was injured on Sunday, on special teams.
The Lions also signed linebacker Jerrel Harris to the practice squad.

Sixty years ago today on October 4th 1957 there was a Cold War event that changed the world
The history of the Sputnik and its system have been covered by this site but let's talk about the impact of it. The Russians managed to scrounge together a lot of German, American but mostly Russian technology to get an early lead in the space race. We Americans would use small scale tests to see what would fail but the Russians always built full scale to see what would break. It was this maddening method that would allow them to rush forward through the space race. Yet the Sputnik just represented the same thing that vehicles like the Kalinin K-7 aircraft had twenty years before it. It was just a demonstration of what potential the nation had. That they could do bigger items than any other country in the world. Sure we could look at this as an ICBM item as well but it was also about trying to one up the US on the world stage for technology. Yet all it was was a shiny metal beeping ball.
The Russians didn't sit on their new found toy either. No they would go on and waste plenty of animal flesh in pursuit of putting a man in space. Again that whole trial by full scale which we were far less likely to do. Still looking back on things from immortally glass eyes it is kind of interesting to see how this progressed from both sides. Both countries really benefited with the help of German scientists but don't think that was their only means. The Russians were well into rocket research during WWII and were quite good at it. The Americans had Goddard as well. It's just hard to discount the value of Werner Von Braun. So space and ICBM's went hand in hand for decades but it still fascinated the citizens of both sides and it all started here with this tiny little metal ball and this one rocket. It all started with Sputnik.
If you look at today's pioneers in commercial space they are all in this age group. The children of Sputnik. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson among them. All the facilitators of seeing the future of yesterday become the actual future of tomorrow. They watched Sputnik as a child and didn't see duck and cover. Instead they saw space as something to conquer and to look forward to.

Maybe years back when the dungeon you're in was first explored tin was common in the area and this metal practically worthless, but as the mines ran dry it was necessary to bring the valued tin from distant lands. To bring this small treasure to town could mean some good gold for your party.
So what other apparently worthless pieces of treasure could a GM put in a dungeon?
Well there's salt for starters. A very valuable product for salting food. Medieval fantasy settings lack something we take for granted: refrigerators. So food needs to be salted to preserve itself. Armies marched on their stomachs and needed lots of preserved food. Salt can be a valuable item to find in a dungeon or as a treasure after defeating a hostile tribe of monsters.
Salt was traded for gold in the Sahara. Large caravans would take it from its mines in the middle of the desert to the sub-saharan cities and trade them there for gold.
Another metal you might want to put as treasure is quicksilver, now known as mercury. It is a liquid metal at room temperature and can be used in many things. One of which is amalgamation of gold, making it useful in gold extraction and processing. Mercury is very heavy though, as can be seen by the floating coin in the image below.
Mercury has another outstanding property. It is very toxic. So it can be useful in spell components and for not so honest activities. As its ore cinnabar it is very toxic to mine and process.
Pure elements like sodium can be very interesting as treasure too. Sodium doesn't naturally exist in pure form. It can be isolated through electrolysis or in the world of D&D through magic. Pure sodium in a jar full of oil can be easy to carry around, but take it out and place it in water and a monster comes to life.
Sodium is one of the elements of common salt which is found diluted in water in large amounts known as oceans. Isolated though, sodium becomes very exothermic in water (produces a lot of heat). The reaction produces the highly caustic sodium hydroxide (trust me I accidentally took a breath of it and it burned my nose and throat real bad) and the highly flammable and explosive hydrogen. When in water and in sufficiently large quantities sodium might melt into spheres and explode. So you've got heat, corrosive colorless and odorless gas and liquid and a very explosive gas. Could there possibly be something cooler than that? What better for a party to have at hand and a GM to surprise players with!
Sodium Hydroxide burn (2d8 HP + 1d6 per round until neutralized)

When "Verity" is arrested by the Gestapo, she's sure she doesn't stand a chance. As a secret agent captured in enemy territory, she's living a spy's worst nightmare. Her Nazi interrogators give her a simple choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly execution.
As she intricately weaves her confession, Verity uncovers her past, how she became friends with the pilot Maddie, and why she left Maddie in the wrecked fuselage of their plane. On each new scrap of paper, Verity battles for her life, confronting her views on courage, failure and her desperate hope to make it home. But will trading her secrets be enough to save her from the enemy?

Easy & Tasty Brussels SproutsI am always fascinated with Brussels sprouts due to their unique size and shape. They look like a miniature round cabbage but you may be surprised that these winter veggie grew on a stalk instead of individual plant like their big sister, round cabbage.
Back home, Brussels sprouts are sold at a premium price. A small package of Brussels sprouts, around 10 buds only will easily set you back a cool MYR10 (2.5 Euros) or more.
Widely considered as one of the most nutritious vegetables, Brussels sprouts is packed full with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and even chemicals that can suppress cancer cells. Even though I have no idea how Brussels sprouts taste like, I'm keen to give it a try since winter veggie are on sales now. I brought back half a kilo of Brussels sprouts from AH supermarket, for less than a Euro. What a steal and I planned to give it a try over this long Christmas break.
Thanks to the simple recipe by Phoebe, my first attempt was a success! This easy and tasty recipe can be prepared by anyone in under 30 minutes.
- 500 grams of Brussels sprouts
- some Olive oil
- some Balsamic vinegar
- some salt
- some pepper
Step 1: Clean the Brussels sprouts, trim the bottom, remove the outer leaves and split each Brussels sprout into half.
Step 2: Place the sprouts in a big bowl and season well with generous amount of Olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
Step 3: Transfer the sprouts into the oven tray. Take extra care to arrange the sprouts in a single layer for even baking. Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes until the sprouts are moderately charred and fully tender.
It is indeed a simple dish to prepare and it tastes good too. Although it may be an acquired taste for some, a veggie lover like me is totally in love with this dish. Further inspired by another Jamie Oliver's recipe, I plan to try out stir-fried Brussels spouts with bacon next time.

text: Freshmen year of ROTC provides the mental and physical starting point that will shape our experiences and roles in both ROTC and as Army Officers. We have developed our leadership philosophy, learned what leadership characteristics make for a good officer, and the strong bond that existed between all military personnel. We have been tested on our knowledge of the Soldier's Creed, the eight steps of the TLP, our ability in map reading, our physical fitness through an Army Physical Fitness Test, (APFT), and the customs and courtesies in the military. Being in ROTC provided for me a large but close group of friends as well as "Army Strong" support for all of the new challenges that I faced as a college freshmen. I tried to take part in all of the experiences offered to cadets including trying out for Ranger Challenge, being a part of Ranger Platoon, joining Persing Rifles, going to the Rifle Club events, and getting to know my fellow cadets better through non-ROTC events. ROTC provides the knowledge and means to overcome the challenges that all cadets will face in their lives, both in military and civilian life.

Glastonbury: Spirit of '71 vs Spirit of '11
The first Glastonbury was officially held in 1970. It was called the Pilton Festival and, for the price of a pound, 1,500 hippies and music fans were treated to a performance by Marc Bolan.
In 1971, with more than 12,000 people attending and a host of bands on the bill, it had grown into something which closer resembles the festival of today.
Another forty years on, to 2011, and organiser Michael Eavis has commissioned the Spirit of '71 stage, which sees artists such as The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Melanie return to the Glastonbury stage.
But how much has the festival and the music industry changed since then?
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown first took to the stage on a sunny day four decades ago to perform hit song Fire.
Today, dressed in a pyjama-style outfit with his face smeared with brightly-coloured paint, the 69-year-old recalls his first time at Worthy farm as being "a bit sunnier".
"It was smaller and it was free, and the atmosphere was a little different: lots of people walking around naked... lots of spiritual leaders and concentration on ley lines and things like that.
"It's changed over the years to become a much bigger commercial festival but at its heart, it's still the same."
Social change
Brown insists that recent changes to the music industry, brought about by social media such as Twitter and Facebook, were encouraged by artists of his generation.
"Well, it's what we were trying to bring about in the '60s," he says.
"It's great that it's happened. We wanted to end the hierarchical control by the media and the record companies, who owned the studios and liked to tell you what to record."
Ed Sheeran is a 20-year-old singer from Suffolk. His debut single, The A Team, charted at number three last week. This is his first time at Glastonbury, both as a fan and a performer.
"This is a massive benchmark - to play Glastonbury. It's the biggest festival in Europe. You grow up and you're like, 'One day I'm going to play Glastonbury'."
Sheeran thrives on live performance, typically playing more than 300 gigs in a year. Glastonbury is no different, and he is taking a guerrilla-style approach, with eight gigs scheduled across the weekend.
"I wouldn't be doing eight gigs if I didn't want to be doing eight gigs," he says.
'Festival queen'
A product of the age of social media - much of Sheeran's success comes from building up a large following on Twitter.
"I always wonder what it would have been like if I had been born earlier in the century, and whether I would have been successful playing the same sort of music," he says backstage, at the BBC Introducing stage.
"I think social media has been a great help," says Sheeran, who credits much of his success to "a big online following and a bit of independent success".
"I don't think, for instance... that I would have got signed in the '60s or '70s."
Over the years, the sheer scale of the event, and the cost of running Glastonbury, means commercial partners have been involved, leading to huge branding boards on site
It has led to some criticism that Glastonbury has become more corporate.
Sheeran disagrees: "I haven't really seen that much corporate stuff. The gig I've just done was in a tent that was solar powered - it was all very green, and there was vegetarian food, so it didn't feel very corporate - it was very chilled."
Another artist who was there in that day in June 1971 was US singer Melanie. Her hit record Brand New Key topped the US chart and went top five in the UK.
She was also acclaimed for her cover version of the Rolling Stones' Ruby Tuesday.
"It was an entirely different configuration," she recalls. "There was only one stage so it was a very different set up."
The previous year, she had also played on the same bill as The Who, Jimmy Hendrix and The Doors.
"They call me 'the festival queen' because I'm always booked at festivals, ever since Woodstock," says Melanie. "I'm happy to be back."
Melanie praises the diversity of artists playing over the weekend, with bands coming from as far away as Morocco's Master Musicians of Joujouka.
However, she believes that separating musicians by stages, some of them themed - like Spirit of '71 - was "unfortunate".
"It divides music. People say, 'Oh well, I'm not into that so I won't go there.'"
Melanie's career began nearly six decades ago, but does she envy singers who are starting out now, and more particularly, the speed at which they can record music and reach fans?
"It would have been great to have the technology but I would probably do what I have done - my way."

New trends in Tamil politics
There are new trends in Tamil politics and a quickening of activity in Tamil political society. The Tamil Political Parties Forum is one manifestation while the visit of the TNA to India is another. The Tamil Parties Forum, an initiative of EPDP leader Devananda has succeed in drawing together most of the old EPRLF and much of the ex-Eelam Left, with a few prominent civil society activists and the odd ultranationalist thrown in. Its very existence is a quasi-miracle, given the fissiparous character of Tamil politics. The second type of activity has been the TNA's interaction with the Government of India. There are efforts to call a meeting in Colombo or overseas of both tendencies, the TPF and the TNA. A successful ingathering too would be akin to a miracle, given the sectarianism that abounds.
What has brought about these centripetal efforts, reversing the twin phenomena of anarchic sectarianism and vicious monopoly that consumed Tamil politics and politicians for decades? Firstly the pressure from the Tamil people, as distinct from the Tamil Diaspora. The Tamil Diaspora derides these efforts that water down the commitment to self determination. The Tamil people of the North and East do not share this view or have different existential priorities, pushing several Tamil parties to get together. This stems from the Tamil community's collective sense of apprehension or perception of threat. The second factor making for convergence seems to be India. The Tamil parties having taken their case to India seem to have been informed that in the absence of a Tamil consensus, Delhi is unable to intercede. We may surmise that this has been an incentive in the tentative intra-Tamil dialogue.
The most reliable report of the TNA's visit to Delhi is that of veteran journalist and Colombo hand Venkat Narayan who reports, significantly, that India has told the TNA that this is not the 1970s or 1980s, and that the TNA had better move on, engage with President Rajapakse and that Delhi would help as best as it can in this regard.
The problem is that the TNA may not have got the message or all of it. Some elements still refuse to enter into a consensus building process with Douglas Devananda alleging that he does not accept the right of self determination and is also a member of the government. Now I am not privy to whether my old comrade and friend Douglas accepts the right of self-determination (and if so, with what qualifications if any) or has abandoned it, but I do know that he is smart enough a politician to understand that it is more than a non-starter – it is a conversation killer -- as a slogan with the Government of Sri Lanka, under this or any conceivable administration and leadership. As Delhi reminded the TNA, this is not the 1980s. There is no going back to the Thimpu Principles. Nobody is going to Thimpu either. As for Douglas being a member of the Government, what is the logic of the TNA wishing to talk to the Government of Sri Lanka but not wishing to enter a process with a Tamil member of that government? If it is on the basis of being sole representative of the Sri Lankan Tamils, that won't fly either because the Tamil voters have shown that there is political space enough for at least two representative formations.
The demands and grievances that the TNA has presented in Delhi also shows that those politicians haven't still caught up with the Tamil situation in the 21stcentury. No Sri Lankan administration is going to withdraw troops from the North and East. This is more so when we refer to areas which sustained a secessionist war for decades, and a part of the citizenry which supported and endorsed the hegemony of the most fascist of the Tamil nationalist armed alternatives in play. The Union armies stayed in the ex-secessionist southern states of the US for twelve years after the victory in the Civil War, while the Russian troops stayed for ten in Chechnya. US troops have remained for decades in Germany and Japan, having gone in to defeat Hitler. The Sri Lankan forces are there to stay in the North and East. They will and must be a sufficiently strong permanent presence, pre-empting secessionist insurgency and safeguarding the island's outermost 'buffer province' beyond which lies Tamil Nadu with its pro-secessionist groups.
While that is not up for negotiation, what is justifiably negotiable is the issue of demographic alteration due to the building of permanent housing for soldiers deployed in the North and East instead of being rotated back to their homes in the South. The role, function, deployment and visibility of those troops should also be the subject of negotiation with the democratically elected representatives of those areas.
Even more amazing is the report that the 13th amendment loomed large in the TNA's Delhi discussions or in Delhi's discussions with the TNA, but the latter was of the view that the 13th amendment was problematic within a unitary state form. The absurdity of that is the fact that the 13thamendment was precisely within a unitary framework and if that was good enough for Shri Rajiv Gandhi and his top negotiators, and it must be added, for Mr Amirthalingam at that time, it should be good enough for the TNA today.
A respected commentator T Sabaratnam, chronicler of Mr Amirthalingam's life and career, recounted last week how Shrimati Indira Gandhi told the TULF to eschew separatism and get back to federalism, and that the Government of India would secure autonomy for the Tamils. He says that the TULF has done that now. If that is an attempt at humour it is a poor one. If the Tamil nationalist parliamentarians wanted federalism they should have endorsed Chandrika's 'union of regions' package of 1995, but they didn't. Now it is far too little a change and far too late. There are no Sinhala takers; not even on the far horizon.
The trouble with the TNA is that Delhi and their own Tamil voters are not the only voices they are listening to. There is the Tamil Diaspora, the ideologically dominant stream of which considers Delhi as part of the problem, not the solution. They do not want Delhi to mediate between the Tamils and the Sinhalese or Jaffna and Colombo; they want Delhi to come down on the Tamil side and carve out a separate state for them or join a Western led concert in punishing the Sri Lankan state. This Delhi didn't do in the 1980s and just won't do now with Colombo having a Beijing string to its bow. The TNA also hears the voices of the LTTE's ghosts and their own ambitions.
So the TNA has an existential choice. It can continue to live the Diaspora's delusion of self determination supported and secured by the West, or its own home grown fantasy of federalism. If so it can dwell forever as a symbolic entity and agency of agit-prop. Or it can heed the letter and spirit of what Delhi has counselled.
With last week's fiasco of 'the fastest fast' in Asia, Colombo is slowly beginning to learn that Delhi is the critical and indispensable variable in its external relations. The Tamils are divided between those who understand that Tamil destiny cannot move outside the parametric constraints of what Delhi chooses to do, and those who think that Tamil destiny can be made by the West. They have to figure out that having lost a war so utterly, and having supported a militia that lost a war so utterly, the only real card they have is what Delhi secured for them in 1987 and is willing and able to secure for them now.
The only thing that Delhi has the soft power, including the moral right, to urge Colombo to do, is to activate the existing provisions of the Sri Lankan Constitution making for provincial autonomy, which was also an undertaking given at the highest level in bilateral talks. That is also the least fraught (because it does not require Constitutional changes) and contentious (it has the widest public acceptability). It is also the moderate demand that Colombo cannot be seen to reject out of hand.
Sinhala ultranationalists may object that the Accord and the 13th amendment were results of Indian coercive power and therefore unacceptable, but that is analogous to the Tamil ultranationalists refusing to accept the reality of the results of the war because it was an 'imposition by the Sinhala army'. Historical reality must be recognised. The State won the war decisively. However it did not win a war against the IPKF, though it did secure its withdrawal. The state also fought and won a war against the anti-devolution Southern insurgency. The sum total of these historical outcomes is that the Tamils cannot expect either self determination or federalism and the Sinhalese cannot expect to roll back, default on or dilute provincial autonomy.
The Southern ultra-nationalists also argue that provincial autonomy was meant as an incentive or trap for the Tamil Tigers, which failed and is in any case rendered irrelevant by the outright military victory. This of course is a distortion of fact. The idea of federalism or regional autonomy was proposed by Bandaranaike in 1925-6, the Ceylon Communist Party in 1944-60, and in the Bandaranaike –Chelvanayagam Pact of 1957, not as sop to the as yet unborn or infant Prabhakaran but as a method of inter-communal reconciliation and nation building in a multiethnic context. That problem still remains and therefore the solutions retain validity.
Tamil nationalism must recognise that certain 'red lines' are not drawn by the current Sinhala nationalist administration alone, while some are. The very long term 'grand strategic' red lines are that there will be no Sri Lankan troop withdrawal from the North and East; and no self determination, re-merger or ethno-federalism. Meanwhile the 'red line' that Colombo has to recognise is that Delhi will not permit a unilateral roll back of the results of 1987-8, already modified by de-merger.
What of the Tamil Diaspora strategy, that holding out for a solution based on self determination will work, because the current dispensation will be eroded by Western led international pressure, and therefore there is no urgent need to arrive at a pragmatic Tamil consensus and settle for something less, right now?
Firstly, this underestimates the irreversible demographic changes on the ground, that may have been effected as the months and years go by. The only counterweight to such changes would be a legitimately functioning provincial council.
Secondly it omits a lesson of political history and the defeat of the Tigers. Just as the Sinhala electorate threw up an administration capable of winning the war, it will eventually elect one capable of winning the peace, safeguarding the unitary state while prevailing in the international arena.
Therefore a Tamil consensus, embracing the Tamil Political Parties forum and the TNA, calling for the implementation of the existing provisions of the Constitution, is a call that can be backed by Delhi, and will prove irresistible for Colombo in the current climate of worsening relations with the West and the imperative of obtaining Indian, SAARC, Asian and NAM support.
Implementing such a deal is Colombo's best chance of getting India solidly on board in the coming diplomatic confrontations.
Having an intermediate structure elected by the local populace and positioned between itself and the local populace, provides the Sri Lankan security forces with a social shock absorber and vital adjunct in preventive counter-insurgency.
It is a win-win scenario, but will the Tamil and Sinhala ultranationalists blow it, as they always have?

You left a piece out!
This article is a stub and is missing information. You can help Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki by expanding it.
Prime Cartoon
The Forge of Solus Prime was a very large hammer that had the mystical ability to infuse raw material with working mechanisms. Solus Prime used this device in her mission as the primary weapon-smith of the Thirteen. She also presumably used this device in combat.
The Forge is very mystical in nature and can only be wielded to its full potential by a Prime. Although others may use it, to them it would only be useful as a large hammer. Without the power of a Prime the device cannot be used to create anything.
The Forge was used to create various weapons for the Thirteen including the Star Saber and Requium Blaster.
Eventually, the Forge came to reside in the Iacon hall of relics. In anticipation of the Decepticon's invading Iacon, the Forge and many other relics and captured Decepticon weapons were sent to Earth in order to keep them far from Megatron's reach. However, the Decepticons did eventually locate the Forge on Earth and unearthed it. The Autobots attempted to retrieve it but did not succeed. Despite losing the Forge, Optimus informs the other Autobots that without the power of a Prime, the Forge would be useless to the Decepticons. Operation Bumblebee, Part 2
Megatron was eventually able to devise a way for him to make use of the Forge despite his lack of Prime status. Driven to desperation by Optimus's recent acquisition of the Star Saber, Megatron traveled to Cybertron with Dreadwing. Once there, he journeyed to a tomb containing the bodies of past Primes. Megatron then cleaved the right arm of one of the primes and returned with it to his warship orbiting Earth. Then he had Knock Out sever his own right arm and then attach the Prime's arm to his body. This new limb allowed Megatron to wield the Forge. He then used the Forge to craft a new sword to match Optimus's Star Saber using Dark Energon as raw material.
After choosing to leave the Decepticons, Dreadwing offered the Forge to Optimus. In return, Dreadwing only asked that Optimus use the Forge well. Optimus then used the Forge to upgrade the Autobot's GroundBridge into a Space bridge. He also used it to repair his recently broken Star Saber.
The Forge survived the destruction of the Autobot's main base and, along with Airachnid's stasis pod, was recovered by the Decepticon salvage team that was looking for any Autobot bodies or survivors. The Decepticons placed the Forge in their vault aboard their warship. However, the Forge was later recovered by Smokescreen.
Optimus, near death, informed Smokescreen that the remaining energy within the Forge should be used to repair the Omega Lock on Cybertron. However, despite Optimus's order, Smokescreen placed the forge in Optimus's hand and used it to rebuild Optimus into a larger, more powerful, and flight capable body. As a result, the Forge's power was completely drained, leaving it incapable of any more acts of mystical creation. With Optimus' permission, Ultra Magnus took the Forge as his own weapon, employing it as a warhammer in battle.
Ultra Magnus would utilize the Forge in combat on two occasions: first against the Decepticons and then Predaking in Scotland, and later a second time against Predaking in a former Energon mine that served as Shockwave's laboratory for Project Predacon. Though he wielded the Forge quite effectively in this battle, Predaking was able to take it from him twice during the fight. The second time, the enraged Predacon snapped the hammer's handle in half, and its pieces were left behind as the Autobots fled the battle site. Chain of Command Evolution
- When activated by a Prime, the Forge courses with electricity and the turbines in the hammer heads begin to turn.
- The Forge does not have unlimited power. It started to end in Season 3 Beast Hunters, if you want to see the episode click this link

The Civil War (1861-1865) changed the United States profoundly. It affected the lives of every man, woman, and child in the United States in some way. Millions gained their freedom. Hundreds of thousands died. Thousands more were wounded, saw their homes destroyed, or lost friends or family members.
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the greatest test that the United States has ever faced, the National Park Service has created free Civil War trading cards that explore the war itself and its aftermath of Civil War to civil rights. Jean Lafitte has a total of nine trading cards that explore both military history and the struggle for civil rights that the Civil War inspired. Jean Lafitte's cards tell the story of Pvt. Andre Cailloux, Chalmette artillery, Sarah Wakeman, the Mosquito Fleet, the US Colored Troops, Fazendeville, New Orleans "The Queen of the South"), the Union capture of New Orleans, and New Orleans public school integration.
Here's how to get cards:
- To earn a set of Jean Lafitte's nine Civil War trading cards in person, go to the information desk at any Jean Lafitte visitor center and tell the ranger something you know about the Civil War. If you don't know anything about the Civil War, ask the ranger a question so you can learn about it. Click here for information about Jean Lafitte's six sites, including links to maps and hours and days of operation.
- To download all nine Jean Lafitte cards, click here. The site also has cards from all the other participating NPS sites.
- To request cards by mail, email the park.

Declining Birthrate Singapore
The policy has been described as 'population rejuvenation'. Its goal was to address the ageing of Singapore, which was threatening the country's quality of life. It was quite effective at first but despite the government's slew of measures including longer maternity leave and cash incentives, the Total Fertility Rate plummeted from 1.6 in 2000 to 1.23 last year. This is a far cry from the 2.1 needed for the population to replace itself.
Families are having less children due to the following reasons: High cost of living, insecurity of jobs, high cost and burden of educating the child, no fun for children to take the pressure of childhood.
Low birth rates means that the government will continue to be more liberal in allowing foreigners to come here as PRs or citizens. And, unlike the times of our forefathers, Singapore today is unlikely to allow the naturalization the peasant, the construction worker or the cleaning lady. The Singapore government wants talents, or in the absence of talent, rich people. The natural result is that native Singaporeans get squeezed in the job markets and the housing markets. Young Singaporeans like myself are now squeezed particularly hard in the housing markets because these PRs or new citizens come in either not knowing the local real estate market or having too much cash to burn, start offering high prices for property, driving property prices upwards. As for the employment landscape, that doesn't need much explaining; it's a demand and supply problem.
I think that the Government should promote more of the benefits of having children – joy and laughters of the children through different media (T.V., radio, internet etc.). The more the Government emphasises on the family life and support the birth rate, it will help to increase the birth rate. There should be more television shows about families. The mindset of parents is important. When we think of raising children is very expensive, it will not encourage us to have children. The joy of having children cannot be measured by the cost or spending on the children. We need to see beyond the money cost of having children as children are the bundle of joy and gift from God.
Companies should not be bias on employing pregnant women and the government should change the policy again to state that as long as a woman is pregnant, the company that terminal her should pay up the four months maternity leave instead of the current one that states it's only liable if it's 6 months form due dates. A declining fertility rate also affects the social structure of a nation. As less and less people are having families, social networks are affected and support within the family unit changes. Where previously children may have provided a support network for their parents, in many cases, older, childless Singaporeans may turn to the government to assist in providing this network. With an increase in the number of one to two person households with steady income which is often relatively high, standards of living increase for these households, where standards for families with dependants may struggle to keep up. This will then lead to even further decreases in birth...

California has the largest population of seniors in the entire country. In 2013, nearly five million California residents were 65 years of age or older.
Five million seniors and counting—the numbers are growing exponentially. It is projected California's senior population will more than double to over 10 million by the year 2040. In addition, the population of seniors 85 years of age and older is expected to triple during the same period. Americans are living longer as the Baby Boomer generation grows older.
California's extraordinary growth relative to its senior population will have a significant impact on the state's health care system. The percentage of elderly residents in regions like the Inland Empire, Los Angeles and Orange Counties are expected to double by the year 2040.
There is no question seniors use the largest share of health care services more than any other segment of the population. The fact more seniors are projected to need more services in the not too distant future highlights a major concern—many wonder whether the state will proactively prepare to meet this growing demand particularly in relation to thousands of seniors who are and will be heavily dependent on nursing home care.
According to the recently published California Health Care Almanac, "The growth in California's senior population is expected to have a significant impact on future demand for long term care beds, or alternatives. At current rates of use, demand for California's long term care facilities would exceed supply by 2020." Long term care facilities include skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and congregate living health facilities.
This week, in an exclusive interview with The Voice, Deborah Pacyna, Public Affairs Director, California Association of Health Facilities, shared her organization's concerns regarding the looming shortage of nursing-home-beds.
Nursing homes are identified by a number of different names. In addition to housing and meals they also provide personal care, social services and skilled nursing care for people whose physical and/or behavioral conditions make it difficult for them to live alone or with help from others.
Skilled nursing facilities also provide care for patients while they convalesce from a serious illness or surgery. In addition, they often provide continuous observation and rehabilitative services for those who need it. At the close of 2013, nearly 100,000 Californians were receiving care in a skilled nursing facility. Of these patients, 79 percent were 65 years of age and older and 35 percent were 85 years of age and older.
Pacyna expressed concern about the impact the rising numbers of elderly will have on the 350,000 people who use skilled nursing facilities each year. "The biggest impact will be on people who stay in nursing homes longer than three months," she said. "People who suffer from two or more multiple chronic conditions like dementia and heart failure for example, or dementia, kidney failure and diabetes."
"Eighty percent of our residents are in and out of skilled nursing facilities within three months after undergoing hip or knee replacements or therapy following a stroke or serious illness," Pacyna explained.
"There will be increasing pressure on the remaining people who need a long-term placement as the demand for skilled nursing beds increases," she added and continued. "These are people who are generally 75 years and older."
"The biggest shortage," according to Pacyna, "will probably take place in the Bay area. It's already hard to find a placement there because of the expense of building a new facility."
However, Pacyna admitted memory care and assisted living communities are sprouting up everywhere for the people who can afford them; but, according to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSPHD), only seven skilled nursing homes have been built in California since 2005. At this pace, the elderly could be sleeping in the streets by 2020. "The main culprits behind the shortage," Pacyna explained are, "exorbitant costs, excessive regulation and lack of financing options."
Currently there is no legislation pending in Sacramento aimed at addressing this concern. Hopefully, that is about to change. According to the California Association of Health Facilities CEO/President Jim Gomez, "We will be proposing legislation in the coming month to ask the state to provide low cost financing to the sector to build new and renovate existing skilled nursing homes."
It is very important for success of the movement to build more skilled nursing facilities, to have the governor's support. "The governor has been supportive of the needs of skilled nursing providers and the population that they serve," Gomez stated. "But, we need to educate lawmakers and the public that the silver tsunami is very real and is coming faster than we imagined."
One Sacramento lawmaker who has continued to be a strong advocate for the elderly is Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown. Brown, Chair of the Assembly Aging and Long-Term Care Committee, has championed a number of key issues related to long-term care for the elderly. Two-thirds of all nursing residents in California rely on the government for their health coverage. On more than one occasion Brown stated, "I am committed to ensuring that California's most vulnerable citizens are not relegated to a life in poverty."
Brown represents the 47th Assembly District in the Inland Empire one of the region's whose elderly population is expected to double by 2040.
Baby Boomers are the generation of Americans born between 1946 and 1964. As more and more of the Baby Boomer generation turns 65 they will represent the largest elderly population in the history of America. They are also projected to be among the longest-lived generation in history.

Students, faculty, and administration come together at Bridgewater State University to help those in need. When it comes to student hunger, Jane Doherty, staff associate in the Department of Chemical Sciences knew just what to do to make a difference. Food Bank 4 U, a project to offer free food to students began on September 1, 2014.
The idea came about while Doherty was attending an OID (Office of Institutional Diversity) book club meeting. She says, "My daughter Julia came up with the call to action 'Feed The Future' and is the business side of Food Bank 4 U." Doherty, who is now the Founder and Director of Food Bank 4 U, wanted to give her idea a name that students wouldn't have think too hard about to understand its purpose. Doherty says she wanted the name to be "simple and self-explanatory." Continue reading "Donations Help to Prevent Students from Going Hungry"

Oldambt (Groningen, Netherlands)
Oldambt, a region in the Dutch province of Groningen, east of Noordbroek, touching the German border. In the 17th century the southern part was called Wold-Oldambt, the northern part, consisting of polders reclaimed on the Dollard, then was called Klei-Oldambt. In this territory are found the Mennonite congregations of Noordbroek, Winschoten (a union of the former congregations of Beerta, Midwolda, and De Meeden), Pekela, and Veendam. In the 17th century these congregations are sometimes mentioned under the names of Wold-Ampt and Klei-Ampt (also Klein-Ampt). It is not clear which of the now existing congregations formed the Wold-Ampt congregation and which the Klei-Ampt, though it is probable that Beerta and Midwolda were identical with the Klei-Ampt congregation.

We went to our first garage sale which was a success. I got a dishware set, pillowcases, and a portable heater. The lady threw in a Brita water bottle to prove that Kiwis are a generous people. She and her spouse were a cute old couple. Considering the high prices for retail, garage sales are even more of a good deal here.
|Containers are stacked up as retaining walls
We came home defeated, but our host was helping us look places up online and found a couple nice places for more money but still close by. I think we'll head downtown on Monday to the realty office to inquire about properties. A realtor is going to be the way to go I think since there's just not that much available. We're competing with students, working people, and people temporarily moving out of their homes for earthquake repairs.
We had Chinese take-out for dinner: lemon chicken for D, beef, bok choy, fried rice, and pork wrapped in Chinese pancakes. Those were pretty tasty. Our host is going out of town for a week tomorrow, so we'll have to fend for ourselves along with the other homestay student from China. She's studying fire engineering and learning English. We tried Afghan cookies which are made out of cornflakes and cocoa. No relation to the country!

Here is one example for the known issue that VBA enabler slows down AutoCAD.
If you insert a block using _insert it will be quick (in our case 3-4 secs) for a larger drawing inserted. When inserted via command line without dialog box (for example: _-insert "C:/temp/ow.dwg") ist takes more then 30sec.
It happens with Map 2013 SP2, 64bit. Apparently this performance issue has been fixed and doesn't occur anymore in newer releases. Shame that it took me quite a long time to figure out, that VBA was the culprit.
