Yes I certainly do Simon. Why do I believe it? Because it is fully documented within confidential Foreign Office files, where one finds extensive contemporary official internal correspondence, not for public consumption at the time, between the various people involved.
Now I fully appreciate that documentary evidence is not your cup of tea but I tend to find that this is the best way to understand what was happening in 1889.

Hi David,
Documentary evidence is most decidedly my cup of Earl Grey. I have acres of the stuff nestling on a cloud server.
But one thing I have learned is that in any given situation government ministers, civil servants and policemen more or less tell each other what they expect to hear in order to construct a credible official narrative.
The interesting Parnell and WM stuff remains unavailable, but luckily not everything has been redacted.

La Correspondencia de Espana
It seems that the description of the man who committed suicide agree exactly with those of Pigott.
The corpse was removed to the judicial deposit at one o'clock in the morning without the hotel guests noticing.
The consul, the ambassador, the secretary of the embassy, and many residents of the English colony came at night to the hotel to find out what had happened, and also, with a desire to see the corpse, which could not be permitted. The proprietor of the hotel, Don Modesto Garcia de Alba, was authorized to do otherwise by the examining magistrate.
However, when the corpse was removed, the ambassador was able to see him, and it seems to me that he said: "After all, he was a man of honor! But it is better that he should have killed himself! "
The hotel owner and the interpreter who accompanied the guest were summoned again at twelve o'clock.
Everything else that the newspapers have published is pure fantasy.
La Monarquia
The Suicide of Pigott
According to all indications, the Englishman who committed suicide at the Hotel de Embajadores yesterday was Pigott, the counterfeiter of the letters published in
The Times
as being originally written by the head deputy of the Irish party, Mr. Parnell.
This statement has come after examination of the documents found in the bag owned by the man who committed suicide, and because the initials of the name that was presented at the hotel - Roland Ponsonby - are the same as those of the famous forger Richard Pigott.
One of the letters found in the portfolio has been translated and contains the following words:
Anderson Hotel ... Received 11 letters ... Parnell (mentioned several times) Richard Pigott .., M. Labouchere.
Pigott was a subject of the worst antecedents. He was a journalist in Ireland and sold his newspaper to the Irish League, becoming a secret agent of the Government and collecting money from the latter and the League itself. As he was in correspondence with Parnell, it was easy for him to create the falsified documents with all possible perfection, although committing misspellings. This circumstance has allowed for the clarification of the truth, already proclaimed by the confession of the forger.
It seems that Pigott had also been engaged in the sale of pornographic books and photographs.
El Imparcial
The Identification
Two documents have been found on the corpse of the man who committed suicide at the Hotel de Embajadores by the magistrate judge proving that the dead man was Pigott.
One of these documents is a letter addressed to the English radical deputy Mr. Labouchere, an intimate friend of Parnell, and has the date:
. It says this more or less:
"The first bundle of letters I sold to the Times was all made up of authentic documents. But in the second bundle I included some fake letters. Among the latter were two from Mr. Parnell, one from Davitt, one from O'Kelly and one from Patrick Egan. I lament in the most preferred way to the evil that I have done, and with all my soul I desire to repair it. For this I am prepared to employ whatever means are within my reach, and submit myself to the instructions you give me. Most of what I have testified before the court was false. But what was affirmed under oath and in writing is exact. "
This letter is signed by Richard Pigott. The people alluded to in the letter - Davitt, O'Kelly and Patrick Egan - are Irish deputies of the autonomist party.
The other document found on the corpse, which also proves the identity of the dead, is a license to carry a revolver in the name of Richard Pigott, and issued in Dublin two years ago.
In view of these documents, there is no doubt that the man is Pigott,
Despite this, the body will not be buried until next Tuesday, awaiting the arrival of the English police in charge of fulfilling the final legal requirements of the recognition of the body. In the meantime, photographs of the man will be taken.
The English embassy has arranged for Pigott to be made a decorous burial. In the end, he was an English subject and his death has rescued his faults.
The exposition of the corpse
The body of Pigott has been transferred to the judicial deposit of the South.
He lies inside of an ordinary casket lined with black cotton cloth. The coffin is placed on a table. The mans suit is made up of brown coat, jacket and black tricot vest, dark striped trousers and heavy boots. His clothes appeared worn and used. The vest is almost completely unbuttoned, and a small, greasy scapular appears between the opening of the chest, in which the letters I H S, the monogram of Jesus, are dominated by a cross.
The mouth and part of the mustache are filled with dried blood. On the hands and face, there are also blood stains. The eyes, clear blue and vivid, are open. The bullet must have been near the neck towards the right side.
In the same room are other corpses covered with canvas. All of them are people found injured or dead in the street and, before going to the warehouse, have passed through the dissection rooms.
The sight of that room is miserable, disgusting, and unseemly. What a difference between our morgue and the Morgue of Paris!
La Iberia
It is not officially proven that the Englishman who committed suicide last night at the Hotel de Embajadores is Pigott, but all indications suggest that he is.
Among the documents that the judge collected is a letter to deputy Labouchere written by Pigott with his real signature; a license to use firearms, also in his name, issued in Dublin in 1887; a checkbook for the Bank of England, and several hotel accounts with the guest's name cut off. In addition, the description which the ambassador of England has received from his Government all agree with those of the Englishman.
He also has an exact resemblance to a portrait of Pigott published by the
Il Secalo
of Milan. Yesterday many Englishmen visited the Judicial Depot of the South, where the corpse is exposed.
Some who claimed to know the famous character testified that it was none other than the dead man.
Sir Clare Ford sent a telegram to London giving an account of the incident.
The English Government has replied that they sent a special delegate with photographs of Pigott for identification.
Yesterday Madrid received countless telegrams requesting news of the fact.
A good number of English illustrations of the room where Pigott killed himself were made.
The body will not be buried until the photographs arrive and the man is identified.
Judge Ocampo has formed an inventory of the effects, and will hand them over to the English ambassador and the testimonials of the event.
El Liberal
More Antecedents
Pigott was subject to such surveillance by the London police that, last Saturday, he complained to the inspector that they were following him everywhere. Pigott assured the inspector that he was in no danger and that protection was ridiculous; however, the police did not lose sight of the hotel where he was staying on Fleet Street.
On the same day, he complained that he was short of money, and he made many attempts to obtain it.
He could, however, procure what was necessary for the flight as follows: Some time ago he had left some books to be sold at Sotheby's bookstore on Wellington Street.
On Monday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, he showed up at the bookstore to ask for the money from the sale. One of the partners said that he could not pay him at this time. Pigott returned at four that same afternoon, and obtained a check for 25 pounds and 15 shillings on the Bank of Messrs. Prescott. Shortly thereafter he was last seen on Fleet Street.

Strange then that you don't use very much of it in your book, preferring to rely on a string of inaccurate newspaper reports and an overactive imagination.

I don't know where you learned that Simon but it seems to confirm what I said about you: documentary evidence is not your cup of tea. You prefer to ignore it when it doesn't fit in with your view of the world.
But if you were to use a little bit of common sense you would appreciate that there is no possibility that the internal correspondence in the confidential Foreign Office files relating to Pigott is untrue or an "attempt to construct a credible official narrative". The fact that you are unable to state why you think it is untrue or what really happened speaks volumes.

Are you back to talking in riddles? Previously you said "Three" as if that had meaning, now you say "52983", what do you mean?

The origin of the letters
(From our private correspondent in London)
London 3 (11.10 night)
It is said that a celebrated Fenian who now resides in Paris is apt to indicate the source from which Pigott obtained the first bundle of fake letters sold to
The Times
La Iberia
Le Matin
published some details about Pigott's stay in the capital of the neighboring republic.
Pigott left London on Monday evening on the express train, which departed from Charing-Cross at 8:05 and arrived at the station of Saint-Lazare, Paris, on Tuesday at six o'clock in the morning.
At a quarter to seven, a traveler, who later became known as Pigott, disembarked at the Ambus Mundos [
Deux Mondes
] hotel, located on Avenida de la Opera, no. 22, and asked for a room for a few hours, the time needed to wash, dress and write some letters.
Since the man had stated that he would not be spending the night, M. Voos, the hotel manager, did not feel it necessary to register the newcomer in the guest check-in.
Pigott lodged in room no. 21, located on the first floor.
The traveler was a man of about fifty-five to sixty years old, regular stature, broad shoulders, quite corpulent, and with a full white beard.
On top of his black suit he wore a sort of dark ulster, and covered his head with a dark brown beaver hat. He wore glasses.
His only luggage consisted of a leather suitcase with gold metal lock.
At nine o'clock, Pigott came down from his room to the manager's office, carrying several sheets of paper.
He asked M. Voos for another sheet of the hotel's letterhead and an envelope.
Standing and leaning on the balustrade of the office, he quickly wrote some lines on the provided letterhead, and placed it on the other written pages.
The set of paper was too bulky to fit into the rectangular envelope; so, Pigott begged the hotel manager to give him another envelope.
The traveler immediately requested M. Voos to weigh the letter and tell him how much the postage would cost.
The letter weighed 55 grams.
After putting it in the inner pocket of his
, Pigott asked to be shown the dining room, and had lunch there.
He paid his bill and left quietly, carrying his suitcase.
It was then eleven o'clock.
Since then he has not been seen again, says
Le Matin
, and it is not known whether he is hiding in Paris or if he has immediately taken another train to go to a distant and unknown place, wishing to put as much distance as possible between himself and the English detectives, who at this hour must be on his trail.

Pigott's confession
Pigott did not want to die unconfessed.
Fleeing from London, he wrote an extensive letter to the President of the Commission responsible for collecting the facts relating to Parnell; a letter which was read on the 27th in a letter by Mr. [Cuaynghame] to the numerous public in attendance.
Here is the content of this important document:
"I, Richard Pigott, wish to make a statement to H. Labouchere and G A. Sala, in the former's house, of my own free will, without being induced by any offer of money.
"My object is to rectify what the Times has said, and also to give details of the circumstances surrounding the facsimile of letters from Mr Parnell, Mr, Egan, Mr Davitt and Mr O'Kelly, which appeared In the columns of the newspaper.
"The circumstances relating to the acquisition of the letters are not as I have stated, and as has been said above. I did not put myself in intelligence with anyone. I said to Houston (this Houston is the one who provided the letters to the Times), that I acquired them in Paris; but I must confess that I made them myself, using authentic letters from Mr. Parnell and Egan, tracing some words and phrases, and copying the letter character.
"I copied words and sentences using a candle, placing the authentic letters on top of a windowpane, and placing the paper on which I wrote [on top of the authentic letter]. These authentic letters of Mr. Parnell and Mr. Egan were four or five [in number], copies of which were read in court. After using these letters, I destroyed them.
"Some of the signatures I obtained using through this procedure; others I drew myself.
I then wrote to Houston, telling him to come to Paris to collect the documents. I told him that they were stored in a black leather satchel, along with some pieces of paper, account sheets and old newspapers.
"On his arrival I showed him the letters, account sheets and the scraps of paper. After a brief examination, he handed me a check from Cook's house for the agreed-upon price of 500 pounds; at the same time, he gave me 105 pounds in bank notes as a commission.
"The account sheets were nothing more than loose sheets of a book of mine, where the details of the investment of money of the Fenians were confided to me from time to time. Most of these accounts were written by David Murphy, my cashier.
"I do not remember what was written on the pieces to paper,
"The second bundle was written by me as well. Mr Parnell's signature was imitated from the facsimile published in The Times.
"I do not remember where the Egan letter, from which I copied the signature, was obtained. I had no copies of Mr Campbell's letters.
"I told Houston that this second set of letters was to be put up for sale in Paris, and had been received from America. He told me that he wanted to see them. I sent them; and after having held them for four or five days, I sent a check from the Cook house for 550 pounds, which exceeded the stipulated price.
"The third bundle was a letter imitated by me, from a penciled letter written by Mr. Davitt to me from prison; Another, also imitated by me, from a letter recently written by James O'Kelly, when he was collaborating on my newspaper; and the third, by Egan, I forged imitating his writing from a bill of exchange that had been issued by him. For these three letters, Mr Houston gave me these three 200 pound in bank notes.
"I said that I received 105 pounds for the first bundle; For the second, I received 50 and for the third, nothing.
"Houston and I agreed to hide our names.
"In October I learned that Mr. Houston mentioned my name to Mr. Macdonald (the Times director). This breaking of his word motivated a very sour correspondence.
"As far as my interviews with Mr. Parnell, Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Labouchere are concerned, I stand by what I said in my declarations given under oath.
"I believe that Mr Labouchere's offer of 1000 pounds was for the delivery of any documents of Mr. Egan or Mr. Parnell which I had in my possession,
"I told Mr. Labouchere that I had destroyed all the letters of Houston. This is not true, I still have some.
"I say that this statement is dictated by me to Mr. Labouchere in the presence of Mr. Sala. Signed; Richard Pigot; Witness, George A. Salas. February 23, 1889."
This letter was heard with the greatest astonishment.
The next day
the Times
declared that [Pigott] had been opposed [mocked] in good faith.

El Globo
Little we will say of the dead. Pigott has punished himself, and now the justice of men can take nothing more from him.
We publish his portrait, not in attention of a sinister notoriety, but because the English adventurer epitomizes the full-fledged combat of two races, as well as one of the greatest moral plagues of the nineteenth century
Pigott, who committed suicide in Madrid, was determined for the redemption of the noble land of Ireland, against which he had worked so much in the last years of his life, and has undoubtedly promoted in England a beneficial reaction to her sister island .
He has shown at the same time that after a disastrous existence, in which there had been no kind of scruples, there was something left to him, which, if not to be described as virtue, was at least a quality peculiar to men of heart and shame.
Even if he had committed suicide to avoid shame, even if he committed suicide for fear of losing his freedom and forced labor into old age, some consideration is deserved, since he has washed away some of his guilt.
A person of understanding and a happy disposition, but infused by this horror of poverty and decent work, which is now a real epidemic, he undertook all kinds of illicit enterprises, performed the least confessable trades, sold to his own and the others, charging one and the other; he was not afraid to cast a tremendous smear of infamy upon good people and oppressed peoples. A curious phenomenon that he ended his rugged life with the scapular of St. Ignatius on his chest; no doubt, the same scapular he wore when he committed such a long series of abominable deeds.
He was Irish, it seems, and he was indubitably Catholic.
His life is known only by what he said in the last interrogation of February 22.
He answered to be 54 years old, and to be of professional journalist, owner of
El Irelandes
, an entity of the Fenians after the disappearance in 1865 of the
El Pueblo Irlandes
, directed by 0 'Donnovan Rossa. He was indicted for an article, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. He had O'Connor, editor-in-chief, and O'Brien, who is now a deputy, under his command at the newspaper.
He met Carey, the spy of Phenix Park, with whom he was in good relations, and was part of the association for the amnesty of the Fenians, of the
, and of everything Irish, licit and illicit.
In 1882 he committed the first treason, publishing news and secrets in an anonymous pamphlet,
Memoirs of an Irish nationalist
, which was immediately seized upon by the police and began his time of persecution.
In 1885 he established relations with Houston, a representative of
The Times
, who bought 300 hard copies of a pamphlet,
Parnellism unmasked
, and paid for one edition of 5,000 copies. Pigott received travel expenses and stays in Switzerland where he made the famous forgery.
We gave extensive news [coverage] yesterday regarding the confession of the unfortunate adventurer.
We will not end without offering a favorable account, since there are so many rather adverse ones in his black history. He loved his children very much, and, in the final moments of his miserable life, when he was undoubtedly prepared to die, they were his final care.
Peace to the dead!

On other article, i already show you how to install android studio on lubuntu, in this article i will show you how to make android studio accessible globally on the command line of lubuntu.
As you know, the android studio is not really integrated into lubuntu, i mean it's not like other software that normally will show up on the lubuntu start menu.
To open android studio you will need to go to the android studio installation directory and then go to bin directory and finally run the studio.sh script to trigger the IDE.
That's a lot of work, what if i want to run android studio with one simple command and can be run from anywhere on the console/terminal? yes you can do that!
All we have to do is create symbolic link which accessible globally and pointing to studio.sh script, to do that, open terminal/console/command line and then type this command:
sudo ln -s ~/android-studio/bin/studio.sh /usr/local/bin/studio
Done, we have just creating the symbolic link, and from now you can open android studio with one simple command which is 'studio', go ahead try it:
That command will trigger android studio IDE, so from now on whenever you want to build android apps, simply run the 'studio' command.
~ happy coding ~

|Options for printing direct to foamcore or posterboard with wide format inkjet printers
If you prefer to print direct to stiff and rigid substrates such as foamcore, gatorboard, or posterboard, you have two options.
First, use UV-curable ink flatbed printer and print on untreated posterboard, styrene, gatorfoam, coroplast, Sintra, acrylic and comparable materials, even metal and glass.
Second, use normal water based inks (Encad, Mimaki, Mutoh) but this requires pre-treated (coated) foamcore, such as from Nielsen and Bainbridge or Lamitech Jetboard.
If you are considering the UV-curable flatbed solution, you better acquire the FLAAR series of reports on UV-curable flatbed printers first (to become a savvy buyer and understand the pros and cons of UV-curable process).
We use a Mimaki JV4 to print on Nielsen and Bainbridge material. Works fine. Output is beautiful. People are really impressed to see printing direct to the material, with no mounting required.
Unfortunately no HP DesignJet can handle thick or stiff material whatsoever.
After-market Ink

I EXTREMELY POLITE. The officials on the Rome, Waterwwn, and Ogdensburg Railroad, between Utioa and Mas- Bena Springs, N.Y., are noted for their courtesy. Two ladies, in a little town in northern New York, who had not met for some time, met one day on the railroad track which runs through the main street of the town. Their meeting was marked by an exclamation and ombraoes. The train pulled in at the station, near where the ladies stood chatting. The passengers got off. J'he trunks were trundled away. 46U the train did not go on. After about twenty minutes, the engineer alighted and stepped up to the ladies. Politely removing his cap, he remarked: "Par- 1 don me, ladies, for interrupting you; but we had planned on reaching Potedara this morning. and I if you would not mind stopping off the traok we t will be moving along."

SOMETHING FOR YOUNG FOLKS. J A MISCHIEVOUS MONKEY. Some years ago, on board a ship coming from Jamaica, there was among the passengers a lady with a very young baby. The captain of the ship owned a large monkey, which was made rather | a pet of by the sailors. One morning, as the mother was taking her baby for an airing on deck, the captain, who was looking at a ship in the distance, asked her if she would care to look a)t it through his glass. The lady laid the little child down on a comfortable chair, and took the glass from the captain. A moment later she heard an exclamation from one of the sailors, and, turning round, saw that the monkey had picked up her baby, and was climb- ing the mast with it as fast he he could go. He held the baby firmly with one arm, whiie ;he used the other and his feet for climbing, The mother was speechless with terror, and the cap- tain and sailors were much alarmed, Some of the men, who could, of course, climb as we.l as the monkey, tried to follow him up tha rigging, but the monkey watched them and went higher up, and they were afraid that he might drop the child as soon as they got close to him. Presently tiab baby began to cry, and the mon- key imitated the nurse by soothing and caressing it, and trying, apparently, to get it to sleep. A great many plans were tried to indueethe mon- key to bring the little one down, but all failed, and the mother fainted with fright. At laat the captain ordered all the men to con- ceal themselves below, and he himself hid in a place where he could see all that was going on without being seen. This plan succeeded, for the monkey, supposing himself no longer watched, gave up his game, began to climb do?, and was Joon on th? deck again, where he laid the baby on the ohair from which he had taken .t, and made off aa if to ewMQ^punishonent. The 3 was given back to iti§ mother, who not to hi it out of her øigbt for th. raft of t>v roygm.

June 13, 2014 09:40 ET
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2014) - Minerco Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: MINE), the parent company of Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., a specialty beverage company which develops, produces, markets and distributes a diversified portfolio of all-natural and highly functional brands, reduced its short term liabilities by approximately $1,000,000 (over 75% reduction) and provides update on VitaminFIZZ® revitalization and CoffeeBoost™ expansion.
As documented in Minerco's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has drastically, and significantly, cleaned up its Balance Sheet by reducing its short term debt obligations (mostly in form of Convertible Promissory Notes) by approximately $1,000,000. This reduction in short term debt represents over a 75% reduction in the Company's short term debt.
The VitaminFIZZ® launch and CoffeeBoost™ expansion will directly benefit from the reduction of short term debt, and our other Brands and partnerships will also benefit from our improved and advantageous financial health. In addition, many other potential, future partners have taken notice of our accomplishments.
VitaminFIZZ® has been completely re-vitalized in both packaging and formulation by our world class package designers, beverage experts and advisory board. The imminent bi-coastal launch will commence in New York City (June, 2014) and will be available in Southern California soon thereafter. The VitaminFIZZ® Twitter and Facebook pages have gone live at:
Let us know what you think of the new and re-vitalized VitaminFIZZ®. The new VitaminFIZZ® website will be unveiled soon. Watch for updates on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
CoffeeBoost™, the boosted formula in all flavors, will be released at the same time as the new bottles of VitaminFIZZ®. We continue to pursue partnerships for the next generation of CoffeeBoost™ and have made substantial progress. In fact, due to our market traction, multiple new distributors have been forced to decline representation of CoffeeBoost™ and RISE™ at the explicit request or demand of Living Essentials. While this is slightly inconvenient for Level 5, we are honored to have attracted the attention of the category leader.
V. Scott Vanis, the Chairman of the Company, said, "It has always been one of our top priorities to get our Balance Sheet in order to truly solidify our foundation. While we still have lots of work to do, we are well on our way to being a fundamentally sound company. With the anticipated sales of VitaminFIZZ® and CoffeeBoost™, the expected income from our other partnerships and our move away from Convertible Promissory Notes; we are very excited about our current position and, more importantly, our future. Our management, our products and our shareholders are exceptional. Together, we plan to have many more take notice. The launch of VitaminFIZZ® in New York City is now measured in days, not months. As always, we will keep our shareholders and consumers updated as events unfold."
About VitaminFIZZ®
VitaminFIZZ® is a lightly sparkling, flavor-filled, refreshing beverage with an awesome boost of essential vitamins developed to quench your thirst, naturally. VitaminFIZZ® is caffeine free, is Non GMO, has zero calories and contains 100% of recommended daily Vitamin C. Awaken your taste buds. Now that's refreshing.

Tax Commission News Release
Use tax payment required on Internet purchases
BOISE, IDAHO — Jan. 24, 2013 — If you're gathering information to file your Idaho income tax return, don't forget those purchases you made over the Internet in 2012.
You might not realize that if you don't pay sales tax when you buy something online, you owe a "use tax" to the state. That's true in every state that has a sales tax.
"The use tax has been around since the inception of the sales tax in 1965," said Randy Tilley, administrator of the Idaho State Tax Commission's Audit and Collections Division. "It's in place to assure that items purchased for use in Idaho are treated the same as those that are sold in Idaho, and that our local merchants aren't at a price disadvantage because of the requirement to charge sales tax."
Idaho makes it easy for taxpayers to pay their use tax when they file their annual income tax return:
- Full-year residents who file Form 40, (Idaho Individual Income Tax Return), can pay their use tax on line 28 of the tax return.
- Part-year residents can pay it on line 48 of Form 43, (Idaho Part-Year Resident & Nonresident Income Tax Return).
Taxpayers can also fill out Form 850-U, (Idaho Self-Assessed Use Tax Worksheet and Return), available at tax.idaho.gov, and pay use tax at any time during the year.
For more information about use tax, visit tax.idaho.gov and enter "use tax" in the search box on the home page. You can also get help by calling the Idaho State Tax Commission at (800) 972-7660 toll free or 334-7660 in the Boise area.

Pedestrian bridges, often called foot bridges, have been both separate from and part of vehicular bridges. As separate structures they were often constructed in rural or wilderness areas tied to trails rather than roads and were designed with a rustic look.
However, pedestrian bridges associated with urban areas are in demand now and often include bicycle usage. As shown by the three bridges presented here, the reduced scale of urban bridges and their proximity to human beings and nature no longer call for a rustic design.
Despite the fact that these three bridges have gained praise and publicity, the present economic downturn has given them uncertain futures. Hence the title "Bridges to Nowhere—for now."
The St. Patrick's Island Bridge in Calgary was designed in 2009 by Endres Ware* and Ammann & Whitney**, as a gateway to the activities of the island's Centenary Park. The two-part bridge will also frame views of Calgary and the Rocky Mountains.
The bridges connect to a central platform located where they meet on a mound of earth to be constructed on a site in Centenary Park. The rendering shows a curved path on a mound leading to a ramp lifted up and attached by some of the cables to another land form behind the main pier. The bridges' low arches, also visible in the rendering, rise just high enough above the underlying flood plain to avoid possible flooding but will not block views of the surroundings.
The bridges' structure allows the weight of the concrete decks to be carried by a series of main cables running up to the two masts from which backstay cables transfer the deck's weight back to the ground.
The two separate cable-stayed bridges, one longer than the other, span the Bow River flowing by the city of Calgary.
The masts are bent to reduce their height. The main cables are strung evenly along the length of the masts; the backstay cables, gathered near their tops, are "harped", meaning that the cables have different lengths. They cables splay from the top of the mast downward and extend to the adjacent bridge, which reduces the amount of force necessary for their anchorage and allows the bridges to brace each other horizontally.
The bridges appear to bow to their respective destinations, the city and the neighborhoods on the riverbanks. One hopes that users from both places will be able to respond with their feet to their salutes in the not too distant future.

Carly Rae Jepsen For Candie's! Check Out the Singer's Stylin' Fall Campaign!
There's no maybe about it—you should definitely call up Candie's for fall fashion inspiration! Carly Rae Jepsen, the girl who belts out one of the best repeat songs of all time and flaunts a fringe like no one else, is the face Candie's fall clothing line campaign, and the stylish snapshots remind us of the gal's killer vocal talent. How so? The well-dressed Carly (in a coral blouse that screams must-have) poses in a recording studio in some of the pics—you know, the place where all the artistic magic happens.
OK! News: What's In Your Beauty Bag, Ashley Rickards?
But Carly's Candie's platform doesn't only include prints of chick donning fall apparel. Carly Rae will take on the TV screen in a commercial for Kohls that will air during the Teen Choice Awards. When discussing her collaboration with the brand, Carly said, "I had a great time shooting my Candie's Only at Kohl's commercial. I love being able to offer my fans great deals on my favorite Candie's looks…who doesn't love a sale?" We don't know, Carly. Passing up a good fashion discount seems like a fashion tragedy to us!
Photos: The Best-Dressed Stars This Week!
So what does Carly think of the line? "I think, for me, the highlight of the shoot is kind of the girly moments. Like when I get to wear the dresses and things that are sometimes a little out of my comfort zone, but it's really fun to play with. I love the way they combine it with leather jackets and combat boots, so that if you aren't totally a girly-girl you still got that edge," voiced the singer.
The outfit below proves her point, definitely.

Former West Australian treasurer Troy Buswell's light rail report from a taxpayer-funded trip across Europe is so paltry it could have been compiled in his office, the state opposition says.
Mr Buswell came away from the trip to Europe and China with six key findings about light rail as he planned a network for Perth.
Mr Buswell, now a backbencher after quitting cabinet following a car crash controversy in March, visited Switzerland, Germany and France in August and September last year to study light rail systems.
Before making the trip, Mr Buswell had said non-essential government travel would be temporarily banned and instructed the public service to tighten its belt amid spiralling state debt.
And in December, the state government shelved its MAX light rail project due to WA's ailing finances.
A 20-page report since submitted by Mr Buswell on the trip contained six insights about light rail, with the fact it could be a "very effective, embedded and highly valued component" of a public transport system split over two bullet points.
Mr Buswell also used two bullet points to report that trams could operate effectively in confined urban settings at sensible speeds and with clear community awareness of the operation.
His other points were that right of way for light rail in congested parts of a city was important and that a tram system could be delivered effectively via a public-private partnership, particularly in a greenfields environment.
Opposition transport spokesman Ken Travers said Mr Buswell could have compiled the light rail report from his Perth office and saved taxpayers money.
In China, Mr Buswell met with state-owned conglomerate CITIC and Industrial Bank of China about investment opportunities including Perth Stadium and the long-awaited Oakajee port.
And with his then-fisheries minister hat on, he also held several meetings about artificial reefs, shark barriers and seafood trade.
The total cost of the trip is expected to be tabled in parliament in coming weeks.
On his return to parliament as the Member for Vasse last week, Mr Buswell told reporters it was "entirely appropriate" for ministers to travel for work.
Mr Travers said on Sunday Mr Buswell's report, which used swathes of general information from websites, was light on insights.
"I don't think there was anything in that report that added value to what we do," he told AAP.
He believed Mr Buswell already knew funding for the MAX project was questionable before he got on the plane.
While Mr Buswell provided a brief report to parliament one month after the trip, the full report took eight months to be tabled, said Mr Travers, who admitted he'd once returned a late travel report too.
He expected more than $20,000 had been spent on the light rail trip.

Today we're waiting for freezing rain and ice pellets. I have to take a cat to the cat vet this afternoon and a car to the car vet tomorrow morning, and I hope the weather doesn't screw that up, because those are two things I've been putting off that I really need to get done. But at least we're getting some precipitation, which we really really need. I'm also just feeling kind of depressed and very anxious and just tired. Hoping it will pass soon, when the weather changes.
Cheryl Morgan has a great essay in the Women Destroy Science Fiction kickstarter for Lightspeed Magazine.

It looks like there is going to be a paperback edition of my Star Wars book, Razor's Edge. It's up for preorder on Amazon with a release date of October 28.

Leonardo DiCaprio Warns of "Catastrophic" Pollution in New Documentary
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' star is sinking his teeth into ridding the world of carbon waste
Leonardo DiCaprio sounds pretty angry about pollution in a new short film narrated by the actor.
In Carbon, the first in a series of environmental documentaries from the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, the actor advocates the taxing of corporations for carbon pollution and moving toward renewable industry — warning of "catastrophic" consequences if we don't.
"We no longer need the dead economy of the fossil fuel industry," DiCaprio says in the film.
DiCaprio is already known for his environmental work, with his foundation donating $3 million to ocean conservation earlier this year.
The new documentary series aims to put pressure on world leaders leading up to the UN Climate Summit, which takes place in New York next month. Find more information on the documentary series here.

SEFTON'S Trading Standard officers have introduced new rules and regulations to protect residents from buying goods and products from doorstep sellers.
These rules will come inot action on October 1, they will give the public a legal right of seven days in which they can change their minds.
Previously, people only had these cancellation rights if a trader's visit was no pre-arranged.
The 'doorstep selling' regulations are part of a package of measure from the Government to crack down on rogue traders. Officers will now be writing to companies across the borough to raise awareness of the new rules.
Companies that fail to comply with the regulations may well be investigated by Trading Standards, ending in possible prosecution and fines.
The new regulations will make things easier to businesses who sell at the doorstep, as they now need just one contract when they visit a customer, rather than separate ones for solicited and unsolicited sales.
Seftion Council Trading Standards manager, Andrew Naisbitt, said: "Sadly some unscrupulous traders have taken advantage of the distinction between solicited and unsolicited calls."
For more information about the regulations, businesses should visit: www.berr.gov.uk/consumers/buying-selling-doorstep-selling/index.html

Wednesday 8.30pm and the shippers have just left. 5 full days of packing.
The villa is now basically empty. It has been a looooong day.
The shipment was finally packed up, the crated goods were all done, after slight modification to the one for the piano and one for the bedroom glass desktops.
Because of the current shipping issues with Qatar, we don't actually know when it will be put into a container. So everything headed off in 3 lorries to the warehouse, to await a container loading schedule.
At least the shipping companies have identified a new route through Oman, with the first vessel coming 25th June, but we don't know when ours will leave. Probably now run late for the arrival in Cyprus so, will just have to wait and see how that changes things.
Today, also picked up a hire car, and the afternoon the company car was returned.
Kia Sportage, is probably not big enough, but it will do seeing as it is only for a couple of weeks. Not as if we are doing furniture runs to Ikea any more!

Download the authoritative guide: Cloud Computing 2018: Using the Cloud to Transform Your BusinessReceiving twice as many votes as the closest contender, SpamAssassin took top honors in the Anti-Spam category of Datamation's Product of the Year 2005 Awards.
SpamAssassin, an open source spam filter, easily outdistanced its competitors in the finalist round of the annual reader-based contest. Webroot Software, Inc.'s SpySweeper Enterprise had a strong showing as the runner up. Other finalists included Cloudmark, Inc.'s Cloudmark Immunity; NetIQ Corp.'s NetIQ MailMarshal SMTP; MessageLabs Ltd.'s MessageLabs Anti-Spam, and Sophos Inc.'s Sophos PureMessage.
''[SpamAssassin] doesn't just save us money. It makes us money,'' says Jeremy Howard, CEO of FastMail.FM, an Australia-based email provider with more than half a million customers. ''We know from direct feedback that customers are upgrading their accounts because of our SpamAssassin implementation.''
SpamAssassin is under the umbrella of the Apache Software Foundation, a non-profit group that provides organization, along with legal and financial support for many open source projects. SpamAssassin is used by corporate, academic and home users as a stand-alone spam filter, but it also is integrated into other products, such as appliances and email servers.
Anti-spam products are increasingly important to the enterprise as unsolicited bulk email continues to hammer corporate inboxes, mail servers and IT workers. MessageLabs, an anti-virus and anti-spam company, reported last year that spam now accounts for nine out of every 10 emails in the United States. In 2003, spam made up 55 percent of all U.S. email, but it easily surpassed the 80 percent mark last year.
And that deluge of spam is taking a toll.
Industry analysts largely agree that spam not only distracts workers and wastes productivity, but it also drives IT managers to use their already-tightened budget money on extra mail servers and personnel whose only job is to deal with the flood of unwanted email.
''As an email provider, it's our job to make sure that our customers get all the email they want, but only the email they want,'' says Howard, who started using SpamAssassin three years ago. ''Simple message blocking at our mail server is not an option, since it could block some messages that our customers wanted to receive, so we had to find a solution that let customers 'choose' what they wanted to block.''
Howard explains that SpamAssassin provides a statistical score, which customers use to make decisions about which messages should be discarded, which ones should be filed away and which ones to keep. ''Customers frequently tell us how happy they are now that their inboxes contain less spam, without throwing away any of the messages that they want to receive,'' he adds.
Daniel Quinlan, vice president of Apache SpamAssassin, says their product stands out because it's a wide-spectrum solution.
''It uses a wide variety of local and network tests to identify spam,'' says Quinlan. ''It makes it hard for spammers to identify any one single thing they can change in their email to get around the filter... Plus, it's free software, so obviously that's attractive.''

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
SAN FRANCISCO -- Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in this country lack access to basic therapies and care that can improve their quality of life, mostly because they can't afford them, according to findings from a report on COPD care written by more than 2 dozen leading respiratory medicine specialists in the U.S.
The report highlights major barriers to adequate care for a significant percentage of COPD patients, said lead author Meilan K. Han, MD, of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
She presented the findings at the ATS 2016 International Conference, the annual meeting of the American Thoracic Society. The report was commissioned by The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, which published key findings late last week.
Even though COPD is now the third leading cause of death in the U.S., there is still a patchwork approach to patient care, with disproportionately affected lower-income patients often unable to afford the most effective medications, she said.
"We can talk about state-of-the-art treatments all we want, but we know that these medications often aren't covered by insurance and our patients can't afford them," she said in an interview with MedPage Today.
The report called for greater patient access to education to help them manage their disease, as well as drug therapies, pulmonary rehabilitation and other nonpharmacological interventions and it noted that "insufficient disease-specific training" remains a significant problem among providers, especially primary care doctors who treat the majority of patients with COPD.
Inadequate coordination of care was identified as a significant challenge, especially among patients who are treated by both a primary care physician and specialist and those who frequently transition between in-patient and out-patient care.
"The absence of written care protocols for inpatients, as have already been established for other diseases, has inadvertently led to COPD having low priority in hospital care," Han and colleagues wrote.
There are roughly 15 million adults in the U.S. (6.5% of U.S. adults) with a diagnosis of COPD, but it is estimated that as many as 29 million Americans have the disease.
Key challenges highlighted in the report included providing care consistent with guidelines or best practices evidence in the primary care and hospital settings.
"In hospitals in the U.S. only about 30% of COPD patients are receiving what we would consider ideal care. There is a lot of variation," Han said.
She noted that lack of access to specialized care is, at present, the norm for most patients with COPD.
While COPD rates have skyrocketed, the number of pulmonologists in the U.S. has remained somewhat static since the mid 1990s, she said.
"There are a lot of patients with COPD that won't even get close to a pulmonologist, so I think we need to think about other ways to getting patients access to specialty care, whether that is through telehealth or other innovative solutions," she said.
She added that the high rate of comorbidities like diabetes and cardiovascular disease among COPD patients greatly complicates care, as does the fact that COPD medication adherence is much lower than adherence to medications COPD patients take for these other chronic conditions.
"And we wonder why our patients aren't doing better," she said. "I just saw a patient in clinic last week who had just left the hospital after his third readmission and I asked him if he was taking his (COPD) medications. He told me that he wasn't because he couldn't afford the co-pays. My suspicion is that probably has something to do with why he has been in the hospital three times," she said.
Research funding for COPD also lags far behind other major chronic diseases, she said.
When researchers compared NIH funding for COPD and other chronic diseases to disability adjusted life years, which is a metric of disease burden, they found that in general funding matches disease burden except for COPD, where funding is much below burden.
"This is something that absolutely will have to be rectified, " Han said.
The report was commissioned by The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
Principal author MeiLan Han reported no relevant relationships with industry related to this report.

After a fire destroyed their lives, the community has banded together to support two local families affected by the tragedy.
"My best friend is the owner of the house so we decided to do it for them," said Ladies Auxiliary executive committee member and volunteer Jennifer Gammon. "We want to raise money for both of the families so they can start over again, start paying rent and get themselves back on track. It warms my heart because I love helping people and being able to make their lives better."
Jessica Cockram, fiancé Erik Renaud and their two boys were present at the event Saturday to express their sincere gratitude for everyone who has reached out and helped them in some way. She explained the night of the fire, they had been up cleaning their house until 4 a.m. They were woken up at 7:30 a.m. by the fire alarms going off and the house filled with thick, black smoke. Renaud woke up first and yelled at Cockram to get the kids. She grabbed their son Logan, while he grabbed their son Easton and they all ran outside. They were able to save their dog, the firefighters rescued one of their cats, but they lost all of their reptiles and two cats in the fire, along with all of their belongings.
"Everybody has been amazing, I had people bringing stuff to us while we were at the end of the street," said Cockram. "We're looking for a place but it's so hard to find in Amherstburg. We're staying at Erik's grandfather's right now just taking it day-by-day, waiting for a place to come up."
Cockram said they've received couches and beds, and their sons have been very well taken care of, so much so that they have had to sort through all of the donations and whatever they couldn't use, they've donated back to the mission and donation boxes around town. Cockram said they wanted to keep the cycle going.
"It feels really surreal, I feel like I could just wake up tomorrow morning and go home and everything will be there, but you can't. We have nothing from the house," said Cockram. "We didn't really get to say thank you to the police officers and the fire fighters and Red Cross, disaster teams, they were all so helpful and amazing. Everybody who on that day who helped us and helped the boys, were so amazing."
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 157 is still accepting donations for the families affected by the fire.

Lancaster Hosts Evolving Intelligent Systems Conference
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The 2006 International Symposium on Evolving Fuzzy Systems (EFS'06) offered a forum for the academic community and industry to share views and ideas about developing and using Evolving Intelligent Systems - technology that can make possible computers and machines that can 'think', 'learn', adapt and self-develop like humans.
Senior figures from companies including General Electric, Ford, The Dow Chemical Company and Nokia joined academics at the St Martin's College campus at Ambleside in the Lake District for the three day event.
It was organised by Lancaster University and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which has members in over 150 countries.
Dr Plamen Angelov, the General Chair of the Symposium from the University's Department of Communications Systems at InfoLab21, said: "It's an exciting area because we want to develop autonomous systems like a robot which can adapt to its environment and evolve its 'intelligence', whether in a disaster zone or on another planet.
"Humans do not have a fixed set of knowledge but are learning all the time so we want to create algorithms for computational intelligence to enable machines to stand in for humans in hazardous or unknown environments.
"For example, people follow rules such as "If it is cold outside I will take a coat" or "If the distance to the car in front of mine is too small I will slow down". "Cold" and "too small" are usually not precisely defined. They are rather 'fuzzy' values defined by fuzzy sets. Fuzzy logic is a theory to represent the way humans manipulate knowledge, using so-called approximate reasoning."
Evolving fuzzy systems is an emerging area that is inspired by Nature and focuses on the evolution of the machine to enable it to learn and adapt to an unpredictable environment.
Possible applications include intelligent sensors in the oil industry, autonomous unmanned vehicles in the defence industry, personalised medicine tailored to the patient and personalised web usage, plus smart mobile phones that can restore lost portions of the signal.
The President of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society, Dr. Dimitar Filev, Senior Technical Leader at Intelligent Control and Information Systems, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering in Michigan, USA, said: "Recent advances in information technology, sensor networks and communications, exponentially increasing amounts of information, the need for autonomous systems and architectures for automated data summarization, soft sensing, prognostics, and new types of knowledge-based software application (intelligent agents) are some of the main technology drivers for the emerging research area of evolving systems.
"Evolving systems result from the synergy between conventional systems, neural networks and fuzzy systems as structures for information representation and the evolutionary and machine methods for learning. Embedded soft computing applications are the natural implementation area of evolving systems as one of the main tools for design of real time intelligent systems. EFS'06 was a great visionary event establishing and promoting the concept of evolving system."
Another senior participant from a leading global company, Dr. Arthur Kordon, R&D Leader at The Dow Chemical Company in Texas, added: "Evolving Intelligent Systems have a high potential for implementation in industry. EFS'06 was a very successful event that brought together the key theoretical leaders in the field with several big industrial participants, like GE, Ford, Nokia, and Dow Chemical. The interesting presentations and fruitful discussions have moved forward this new research area."
Dr. Oscar Cordon, the Chairman of IEEE's Genetic Fuzzy Systems Task Force and a Principal Researcher at the European Centre for Soft Computing in Asturias, Spain, said: "In my opinion, EFS '06 was an outstanding event, including the participation of world-wide recognized experts on the topic of genetic and evolving fuzzy systems. The organization was excellent and took special care to bring together people from academia and from industry, which can result in interesting collaborations in the near future."
One of the leading academics, Prof. Dr. Janusz Kacprzyk, Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the IFSA and Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, said: "Not only a great number of very interesting papers have been presented but due to the proper choice of participants, EFS'06 has obtained a synergistic effect. I am sure that discussions have clarified many aspects of evolutionary fuzzy systems, and the conference will be an important event for this area, triggering further progress and new research directions."
Dr George D. Magoulas, from the University of London, said the Symposium created a lively atmosphere for discussing research with internationally recognised researchers.
"The Symposium helped existing collaborations to be extended and provided opportunities for new collaborations to be forged between industry and academia."
EFS '06 was organised by Lancaster University's InfoLab21 together with the Genetic Fuzzy Systems Task Force of the IEEE and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It was co-sponsored by BAE Systems, Nokia-UK Ltd, J&S Marine and Retail Analytics.

Throw me Something Mister! That is a common plea you will be hearing along the Mississippi Gulf Coast for the next several days. We are at the height of the Mardi Gras season. It's called the best free show on earth. No doubt it is a chance for all of us to take our families out to a parade and for a short while forget about other obligations.
While we are enjoying the parades, we should remember that the krewes bringing the parades to our area are really investing in our community. They are spending thousands of dollars in beads, costumes, decorations, food and hotel rooms and ballrooms.
All of this money helps many of our merchants. In addition, a good number of folks travel to South Mississippi to watch the parades. They tell us they like our family atmosphere. These Mardi Gras visitors spend money at our restaurants, hotels and casinos.
So go out and enjoy the parades and support the Krewes that are helping us "pass a good time." Remember it is not only fun, but also, it drives our economy and helps us all thrive.
That's our opinion, we would like to hear yours. Email your thoughts to email@example.com, or post your comments below.

Spring at last after all the traumas of the winter. And it's Nettle soup time! This is the most energising soup I know. I've just been wandering the lanes in yellow rubber gloves and plastic bag collecting the young green nettles. Put them into a big pan with sauteed onions, garlic and potatoes, add stock and liquidise. Add cream and hey presto - brilliant green magic.
I should be doing other things but it's just too tempting to get out into that new green landscape with Zebedee springing lambs.The wildlife up here is prolific with woodpeckers, red squirrels, otters, stoats and mad march hares. We have a badger's sett in our garden and he trundles past on the bank every evening at roughly the same time
The new road bridge in Workington opened on Wednesday and reunited the town after five months of misery. Percy Kelly's twin brother John who is 91 went to the opening which is a fair step from his home in South Workington. He was among the first to cross on foot and he then walked further up the North Side and crossed the temporary footbridge back and up through Workington Hall Gardens calling at M&S for shopping on his way back. He had a disabled wife Renee and is in amazing health.
The sequel to Hercules is on hold until after the imminent Chicago trip (volcanos permitting!) so I am researching the next book which is the Kelly biography so John and his other surviving brother are a rich source of information. These West Coast Cumbrians are a tough lot. I asked him for the secret of his longevity and health and he reckons it's down to diet. The Kelly's had a hard upbringing with little food followed by army rations. He's never been affluent enough to afford rich luxury food nor has he ever eaten junk food despite the MacDonalds and Caspian just down the road. I reckon he's right. Forget the fad diets - try the nettle soup!

Frontal lobotamy
Hey it's spring and we have primroses and violets up here. Don't know where April's gone but this will be the last weekend of the Marie Scott exhibition. Cockermouth is also looking better with businesses re-opening on the Main Street every week. It is looking less bleak and the sun is helping. The Scott exhibition is stimulating and the gallery garden is open (on fine days) and is full of colour.
Just got a distress call from one of my artists - she's frustrated with a painting going all wrong. Lowry told Sheila Fell that she could always pull an oil back Have handed on that advice - don't want an ear in the post do I?
May 1st (Saturday) promises to be a BIG day in the gallery. We open the Helen Tabor exhibition of over 30 paintings, both landscape, seascape and figures. Have a look at the web page www.castlegatehouse.co.uk. You will not be disappointed. People are travelling a long way for this one.
It is also The Georgian Fair throughout the town that day. There are lots of exciting things going on with some theatre performances in the gallery garden and other venues around the town, street theatre and circus skills, Sedan Chair Racing, Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling as well as a Made in Cumbria Market in Market Place at the bottom of our hill
And there's more! We are launching the paperback of Hercules and the Farmer's Wife that day which is selling well and is on special offer at £7.
It also goes on the 3 for 2 offer at all branches of Waterstones on 1st May. For those people in the South Lakes and North Lancashire I will be in Waterstones Kendal on 8th May (11 - 4) signing copies. Karen Wallbank, the Farmer's Wife of the title will also be there so it will be a double act. (could turn into comedy performance art!) I can't trace Brian Hercules the brain surgeon or he would be dragged along as well. We could do with a bit of a lobotomy I guess.
Please come and support us and support the town. It has been a major struggle for all of us to reach this point but we've made it. Our future survival depends on you all.

AUSSIE HOOKER Matt Parcell is still learning about his Leeds Rhinos team-mates, but feels he is starting to gel in his new side.
Parcell joined Rhinos in January from Manly Sea Eagles and has played in all five Betfred Super League games so far, opening his try account against Catalans Dragons last Friday.
Parcell's understanding with prop Adam Cuthbertson, who crashed over twice from passes by the no9 in Rhinos' 46-10 victory, has given Leeds a new dimension on attack and the hooker reckons hard work during and after training is beginning to pay off.
"I'm continuing to work combinations," Parcell said. "I've got a bit of a combination going with Cuthbo, which is good.
"We do a bit of work together after training and he is a good player. He is not a typical front-rower, he reads the game really well and that's good for me and for both of us.
"We'll continue to work on it and hopefully we can continue to improve."
Parcell has also had four games to get to know Leeds' skipper and half-back Danny McGuire.
"We are five games in now and most of them we've played with different halves," he said.
"That makes it a little bit tough, but we are starting to get the combinations going now and last Friday showed that when we do get going we can score some points.
"We'll keep working on our attack and see how it goes."
It hasn't been the easiest of starts to Parcell's Super League career, with Rhinos losing twice in the opening month including a record defeat at Castleford Tigers.
But Parcell said he has no regrets about his move from the NRL.
"I am very happy," he insisted.
"As the season goes on I am looking forward to the pitches drying up and getting a bit of sun and making it faster, so I am looking forward to the games to come."
Tonight's visitors Wakefield Trinity have won their last three games at Headingley, including two Christmas fixtures.
They are on a two-game winning run in Super League and Parcell is expecting another tough derby.
"We needed to bounce back after the Cas game and we did so everyone's in good spirits coming into this week," he said.
"I have watched a few of the Australian players at Wakefield – Sam Williams and Dave Fifita. We have done our preview on the game and had a look at them.
"It is another challenge and another good opportunity I think. They had a good win last week so they'll be coming with plenty of confidence.
"It's a good game."
A win would keep Rhinos in Super League's top-four, though they have played one game more than most of their rivals.
Parcell said: "We need to kick on from last week.
"It's another home game so it's a good opportunity to work towards another win and continue on from what we did against Catalans.
"We've got chance to get on a bit of a roll now."
