Moo's Tennis Blog: WTA Rome 3rd Round Predictions: Jankovic-Li, Kvitova-Stosur
1. Jelena Jankovic v Li Na
Jelena Jankovic and Li Na both won their second round matches handily to set up a first match since 2009; so much has changed for both since then with JJ sliding down the rankings, meanwhile Li has claimed her first Grand Slam title. After an early exit in Madrid, Jankovic has powered through her first two rounds in Rome and took out Bojana Jovanovski, 6-2 6-0 today, who must have been feeling the effects from her epic match with Caroline Wozniacki yesterday. Li beat Zheng Jie, 6-3 6-1 to put that first round loss in Madrid well and truly behind her.
Jankovic is very solid on the clay and particularly in Rome, where she won back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008, and made the final in 2010. Li has also competed well here and has made the semi-finals for the last two years. I think this will be a very interesting match, but Li is the more solid player these days. I believe it would take a pretty magical performance from Jankovic or a horrendous showing from Li for the Serb to progress...
Prediction - Li to beat Jankovic in 2 tight sets
2. Petra Kvitova v Sam Stosur
There are some good third rounders in Rome on Thursday and one to watch out for is Petra Kvitova up against the rebounding, Sam Stosur. The Aussie has struggled to get back to her best following a calf injury that she picked up in Indian Wells; however she seems to finding her feet on clay once again and having struggled in the opening set of her second round match to Peng Shuai, which Peng served for, she powered through the tiebreak and the second set to post a 7-6(5) 6-0 victory. Kvitova had a typically Kvitova-style match yesterday as she was dished a second set bagel by Sabine Lisicki, which was largely due to her own undoing (0 winners to 14 unforced errors), but eventually toughed out the win, 6-4 0-6 7-5. It seems that Kvitova can rarely finish a match in two sets these days, but beating Lisicki was still a respectable effort. Stosur has never beaten Kvitova in four tries, but on her favoured surface of clay, I have a feeling she might snap that run of losses...
Prediction - Stosur to beat Kvitova in 3 sets
Serena Williams to beat Dominika Cibulkova in 2 sets - Serena was pushed all the way by Cibulkova in Miami earlier this year, but I think that loss will have hurt the Slovak and she won't offer much opposition here.
Maria Sharapova to beat Sloane Stephens in 2 sets - A nice effort from Sloane to beat Kiki Bertens today in 3 sets and good to see her coming back to form in time for RG. Sharapova should still win this comfortably though...
Carla Suarez Navarro to beat Lourdes Dominguez Lino in 2 tight sets
Roberta Vinci to beat Simona Halep in 3 sets
Sara Errani to beat Maria Kirilenko in 3 sets

Stosur's weaker flatballing is exactly what Kvitova preys upon-like Hantuchova-but Stosur is weaker than Hantuchova. And I have to disagree-the clay will favor Kvitova more than Stosur cuz Stosur's improved shape is irrelevant to Kvitova's power and fast points. Ofcourse with Kvitova you never know-she just lost to Hantuchova for the first time-and was happy about it apparently from the way she congratulated her after the loss. She won't have so much sympathy for Stosur. Stosur is from the opposite part of the globe. Stosur will need everything she has in her toolbox including Vinci-esque variety which she is somewhat capable of. And accept with gratitude the Kvitova errors. Tough call. But 3 sets again lol even though Kvitova the 3 set drama queen should obliterate Stosur among others but esp Stosur in 2 sets. It all depends on Kvitova. Does she care? don't care? Would she give a warm smile for losing to Samantha after the match?... I think she will care and the atmosphere suits her better in Rome than in Madrid. Also lazy Kvitova can wake up late for the match and the Golden Roman sun that shined upon Caesar and Augustus will shine upon Kvitova too. Just my opinion Moo:)
Aachoo Crony 15 May 2013 at 23:42
But I'm going to experiment tomorrow since its 50-50 for me i all other matches and make it all the more exciting esp since I'll be working most of the day and can't watch most matches. You know how? I'll put in 10 euros for most of your other Women's draw predicitons including 3 setters...well let me think about it...suspense...
Aachoo Crony 16 May 2013 at 20:26
I just don't get it-After first break in last set Kvitova loses the next 6 games. You were right once again Moo...

Can I Display a Parent Type after Using Parametric Search for Child Fields - Toolset

[Résolu] Can I Display a Parent Type after Using Parametric Search for Child Fields
Last updated by Luo Yang Il y a 5 années et 5 mois.
juin 20, 2016 at 8:21 #409069
I'm not sure if this is possible with Toolset. From what I've seen, there are similar questions but no simple example that I can find of how to do this. I will attempt to describe my setup and the goal of the search function on my site:
I have a custom parent type called New Construction Home.
It has child post types called Models.
The parent post type displays all of the models on the parent content template page. Everything looks and works great there.
I am trying to create a parametric search that would allow users to search for details that are only found in the custom fields of the child posts (models) but will display a list of the parent post types as the search results (loop output).
From the support threads I've found, the only way to do this is to use the loop output to display the parent fields for each child that meets the criteria, which would result in many, many duplicate listings in the search results in our case. Is there a way to set up a parametric search that uses custom fields from the child post type even when the "Content Selection" is the parent post type?
juin 21, 2016 at 8:28 #409202
There isn't such a feature within Views plugin.
Since Views is using wordpress class WP_Query to query to posts, so all custom fields and custom taxonomies should be setup in the post type you are going to display:

Grand County, CO will apply for RICD water rights for Gore Canyon Whitewater Park - Page 2 - Mountain Buzz
The second WW park is being planned for the town of Hot Sulfur Springs. Not the warm springs below eye of the needle. That area by the warm springs is super deep, think about the cliff jumping area.
Ah, that makes a hell of a lot more sense! I was wondering where and how they'd make any kind of feature down there.... LOL
Looks like they will have to expand parking, ramps, roads and walkways to accommodate the new play park. So I would think the congestion issue will at least be partially solved by the in river improvements.
Definitely will need to include parking improvements!
There is already a plan to improve the parking area near Launch 1 next spring; however, it is not so much an expansion as it is an improved "driveway" that has a circle at the end so one can turn around (like the new lower campground) and slanted pull in trailer parking. In other words, organized parking (what a concept!). The latest idea is to make it so you can pull through the parking spot right out onto the road when you leave (i.e. no backing!). Hopefully that can work, but we need to evaluate the resource disturbance.
Our initial discussions of the playpark has talked about getting the county to improve the Inspiration Flats road or (probably more likely) making a new road that goes upriver from the access road to Launch 1.
Don't worry... we are well aware of the Pumphouse congestion and it was my personal reason for advising against this area... but now I see that it might actually help get even more parking improvements to Pumphouse. I would hope that we won't approve this park unless we get congestion relief along with it.
Hannah is the contact for this, but she is out this week and I couldn't keep quiet any longer. Teri
The parking improvement alone will be greatly appreciated! Expansion and new water features would be icing on the cake... Thanks for the insight, glad to hear from somebody in the know.
Yes pumphouse can get congested and a bit crazy, but its the perfect place for a playwave. Pumphouse is prime... it services the IV/V crowd for gore, and the II/III crowd for downstream, so its got broad appeal. Its got one of the longest most consistent seasons in colorado due to dam release. Pumphouse is centrally located and accessible from steamboat, glenwood, vail/summit, or the front range. From a bang for you buck standpoint, I think pumphouse is one of the best locations in the state of colorado to put a wave. I'd love to have a takeout surf session after a good day on gore.
My suggestion... Keep the main raft launch downstream of the play feature. Having rafts and fishing dories coming through while people are trying to surf would be suboptimal.
Does anyone have a link or any more details about the plan?
The idea is to put it upriver from Launch 1 ... the designers understand the complexities of other river users floating through. No real designs (yet) that I know of ... seems pretty preliminary and the year I remember hearing is 2015. I'm sure the proposed site(s) will have to go through our environmental assessments before we can say "yes, this place will work". Thank you for your comments and I'm sure that Hannah, the new Outdoor Rec Planner that filled Andy's position, will keep communicating with you as things move along.
I am all for this new colorado play park.It just makes sense,with great fall flows and ideal location for class five run surf combo.It could bring worldclass competition with race and freestyle events in the late summer when all the other parks are to low.There are no other spots in colorado where you can camp, surf and paddle class five in the same location. Could be a huge asset to the state,cheers Aaron Lombardo.
Full Support from TMCK......
I was a long time local in Grand County, now in Summit and think this is a great opportunity to make already a gem of Colorado even better. As this process goes forward in looking to a builder. RiverRestoration.org has the most experience with the Colorado River. I highly recommend Jason Carey and his team after working for them in Frisco and Vail's Kayak Parks. Please keep us all posted on the project. Also if there is anything that Ten Mile Creek Kayaks can do to help, would be stoked giving back to an area that has given some much...

Up up and away!!! | 3 kids and 6 and a half minis
Gawsworth Hall →
Our friends invited us to come camping with them but unfortunately Alfie isn't back together. They weren't far away so we went down to see them and watch the balloons go up and John said he would take me up in the balloon if the weather played ball. The kids loved getting so close to the balloons and they all had a sit in the basket which isn't very big really! The local newspaper was there and a photo similar to this is in it!
This is the balloon I went in….
It was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Strangely as I went up into the sky Caitlin and Austin got really upset. I'm not really sure what they thought was happening? So that meant Richard only got one photo of us flying off….
Up in the balloon was fantastic! It was really loud when the burners were on….
…and then so quiet when they were off. The view was amazing….
We even got to see a wedding party who all waved at us. The landing was very funny, you literally make the balloon fall over onto a field which meant John landed on top of me as we were dragged along for a while. It was a completely amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't afford to take up another hobby though so we'll just have to keep watching them as they fly! After the flight I helped pack the balloon away and we went back to their campsite until the kids got too tired then we went home….

This may surprise you, but I occasionally wonder if I'm doing the right thing. In this case the 'thing' is children's books and their authors. But the event honouring Judith Kerr this week, proved to me I was in the right place, and not even crime – the fictional kind – can hope to reach such heights, pleasant though it it.
There was such a perfect feeling of how good it can be, and I suspect that this is hard to achieve away from children's books.
And chatting to Chris Close about Judith, I was pleased to find that he too had special memories of her. I was also a little surprised to discover that while he couldn't instantly recall Daniel Hahn's name when he walked past, he knows perfectly well what t-shirt Daniel wore in 2010. As you do.
What I was really wanting was to talk to Chris about his photo of Sheila Kanani [in Space], and I like the way he remembers virtually all the people he has shot in his spot in Yurt Gardens. Apparently most of Space this time was made up of St Abb's Head, which I suppose is the photographer's 'bottle of washing up liquid' in using whatever comes to hand.
When it doesn't rain, the new style Yurt Gardens is a good place to hang, as proven by the gang of crime writers just round the corner from my sandwich spot. There's ducks, Chris, and the passing through of many people, who either are very famous, or carrying trays of food. All are important. (Though no 'Kevin Costner' this year…)
What's always good in the festival's second week are all the school children. They have come for the same thing as I have, and often getting the most exciting events combos. I even spied a few teens wearing the authorial blue lanyards the other day. Made me green with envy, that did.
It's not only old age and feebleness that determines when I attend. Trains have a lot to do with it. They were better this year; partly to do with the new electric rolling stock (pardon me for getting nerdy), and partly because I tried to avoid the worst hours of the day. But when the doors refused to open as we got to Haymarket one day, I learned from the guard that it's all down to computers now. I wish I didn't know that!
We mentioned teeth in connection with Mog's nightmares. I haven't been able to ignore the fact that so many authors also have teeth. Well, I suppose most people do, but I am always struck by the wide smiles, full of perfect teeth. And not just the Americans, either. I'll be spending this winter practising smiling in front of the mirror, but am not hopeful.
Here's to EIBF 2020, when we will see more clearly?

Celebrating Platform Shoes | Vogue
It's Official: Teva Sandals Are the Shoes of the Summer
7 High Points in the History of the Platform Shoe
Photo: Getty Images; Alessandro Garofalo / Indigital.tv
I like to imagine that even the wittily macabre artist Edward Gorey would have cracked a smile if he were at Marc Jacobs's goth-fest of a Fall show tonight. If the clothes were a vampy, couture-like take on the attic allure of Miss Havisham, the shoes were an amalgam of granny, glam rock, and club kid. These wonderful hybrids nearly stole the show. If Lady Gaga was "disappointed," as she told Vogue.com's Mackenzie Wagoner, that "the shoes weren't taller," the audience was feeling the high just fine.
Platform shoes are ancient, but their entry into the contemporary fashion scene was in the 1930s. Post-WWII women traded their sturdy elevated footwear for the stiletto, and it wasn't until the 1970s that the style would be prevalent again. It would later be co-opted by club kids (cue Lady Miss Kier in her Fluevogs) and incorporated into the garb of ravers and Harajuku girls. Height is associated with power, and Jacobs asserted his tonight. In celebration, we look back at some of the high points in the history of platforms.

i have a bruise with a red raised circle at one end of the bruise and it itches. should i be concerned? | Answers from Doctors | HealthTap
Bruise w/red circle: If the bruise is recent, it may itch. Some areas of the bruise may be more red or raised than others depending on the impact of the trauma. A typical bruise will start resolving in a couple of days, turning from purple to green to yellow then gone all together. If the redness persists or the bruise has not started to go away in a couple of days, please see your doctor.

The US Crisis Monitor has now released full data for 2020. After tracking key trends and risk factors before, during, and after the 2020 election, this update marks the project's final data release. With over a full year of coverage, US data will now be added to the main ACLED dataset, bringing this special project to a close. ACLED will continue collecting data on political violence and demonstration activity in the US, with regular weekly updates and analysis. All data will remain freely accessible through the ACLED export tool, curated files, global dashboard, and API. BDI will continue to provide public and custom ecosystem, trends, and risk mapping, as well as issue briefs, timely analysis, and other resources for communities working to mitigate conflict in the US.
The US Crisis Monitor supports data-driven initiatives to build community resilience and facilitate efforts to track, prevent, and mitigate political violence in America. A joint project of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) and the Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) at Princeton University, the US Crisis Monitor provides the public with real-time data and analysis on political violence and demonstrations around the country, establishing an evidence base from which to identify risks, hotspots, and available resources to empower local communities in times of crisis.
Who are ACLED and BDI?
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) is a disaggregated data collection, analysis, and crisis mapping project. ACLED collects the dates, actors, locations, fatalities, and modalities of all reported political violence and demonstration events across much of the world (including Africa; the Middle East; South, Southeast, East, and Central Asia; the Caucasus; Southeastern and Eastern Europe and the Balkans; and Latin America and the Caribbean — with expansions to remaining regions underway). ACLED's global team conducts analysis to describe, explore, and test risk scenarios, and makes both data and analysis open for free use by the public, with data updated on a weekly basis. While ACLED is a fully remote organization with team members based around the world, it is a registered non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status in the United States.
The Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) at the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination at Princeton University's School for Public and International Affairs works to support local community resilience in the United States, building on expertise from political and elections work around the world. BDI uses different tools and methodologies to track demonstrations and political violence in real time so that local communities and national organizations will be better able to address issues before they escalate. BDI works to build an expansive picture of peacebuilding and reconciliation organizations across the country, to highlight existing work while developing new avenues for coordination and support. BDI has an immediate focus of mitigating political violence in the US by supporting a more coordinated response around the 2020 election, while ultimately supporting longer-term solutions to societal polarization.
The US Crisis Monitor is a joint project of ACLED and BDI. Through this project, ACLED is able to extend its global methodology to conduct data collection for the US, making real-time data available for public use, while BDI is able to use these data to identify emerging risks and to inform and motivate policy and programming discussions within its civil society network.
ACLED and BDI are both independent and non-partisan, and the US Crisis Monitor is dedicated to providing objective information. The US Crisis Monitor is guided by the belief that transparent, independent, credible data on political violence and demonstrations can improve decision-making and policies, enhance peacebuilding, and ultimately facilitate efforts to track, prevent, and mitigate violence. For these reasons, we are committed to making all data, analysis, methodology, tools, and resources publicly available. At the same time, we recognize that data, statistics, and analysis can be misinterpreted and manipulated towards political or other ends, in turn fueling conflict, harmful or incorrect narratives, and even violence. The US Crisis Monitor takes these risks extremely seriously and will work to ensure that materials made available through the project do no harm (insofar as it is within our power to control), and that principles and approaches of conflict sensitivity are adhered to strictly.
For more information about our do no harm and conflict sensitivity policies, please contact us at [email protected].
Why US 'Crisis' Monitor?
This name was chosen following careful and extended deliberation. The use of the word 'crisis' is a description of the project's goal: to provide the public with real-time data and analysis on political violence and demonstrations across the US, in order to monitor emerging crises. The name emphasizes the latent risks present in the US, particularly during contentious political contexts such as election periods, and identifies the project as a tool for mapping these risks as they develop.
Why are we monitoring the US?
The US is at heightened risk of political violence and instability going into the 2020 general election, as evidenced by increased political polarization, violent hate crimes, and large-scale social movements. In the short term, political violence can erode the space available for compromise and civil discourse that is necessary for policymaking and reform. In the long term, it can undermine community building and core democratic institutions. Despite clear risk indicators, there are no initiatives collecting comprehensive data on both political violence and demonstrations, and violence prevention efforts remain dangerously siloed.
To address these challenges, the US Crisis Monitor aims to provide the public with real-time data and analysis on demonstrations and political violence across the country, as well as to establish an evidence base from which to identify risks, hotspots, and available resources to empower local communities in times of crisis.
ACLED does not record all instances of violence. For example, criminal violence, defined as violence that is motivated by personal or purely criminal motives, is excluded from the ACLED dataset. Some mass shooting events fall into this category. Violence that takes place in the private sphere, such as domestic or interpersonal violence, is also not recorded in the ACLED dataset, even when these events could have wider repercussions among the public. Similarly, events that are categorized as standard police enforcement are excluded from ACLED's coverage. These typically include incidents where law enforcement agencies appear to have used violence within the bounds of the legal constraints on their activity, either in reaction to an attempt on the life of a police officer or otherwise in the presence of a threat. Finally, ACLED only captures events that are reported to have actually occurred. As such, ACLED Researchers do not record threats of violence or intimidation. Non-physical violence, such as online or cyber-violence, is also outside of the scope of ACLED's data capture and mandate.
Please note: ACLED does not collect 'big data' or personally identifiable information about individual participants in any of the events that fall within our catchment. Data collection is specifically restricted to the dates, groups, locations, fatalities, and types of political violence and demonstration events.
For more information about our do no harm and conflict sensitivity policies, please contact us at [email protected]
How are 'political violence' and 'demonstration' events defined?
ACLED defines political violence as the use of force by a group with a political purpose or motivation. ACLED records political violence through its constituent events, the intent of which is to produce a comprehensive overview of all forms of political disorder, expressed through violence and demonstrations, within and across states. A politically violent event is a single altercation where force is used by one or more groups toward a political end. ACLED employs this definition of political violence in every country we cover. It is a core component of the established global methodology.
In addition to political violence events, ACLED also codes both non-violent and violent demonstration events. Demonstrations include events coded with 'Event Type' Protests, which in turn encompasses three specific sub-types that appear as 'Sub-event Types' in the data: Peaceful protest, Protest with intervention, and Excessive force against protesters. Events coded with 'Event Type' Riots include sub-event type Violent demonstration.
ACLED codes all physical congregations of three or more people (single-person demonstrations are not coded) as a demonstration when they are directed against a political entity, government institution, policy, group or individual, tradition or event, businesses, or other private institutions. This includes demonstrations affiliated with an organization (e.g. NAACP), a movement (e.g. Black Lives Matter), or a political party (e.g. Republicans), as well as those affiliated with identity groups (e.g. LGBT, women, Native Americans). Whenever such salient identities exist, they will be coded as an 'Associated Actor' to the respective primary actor (for more on coding decisions, see the ACLED Codebook). In addition, ACLED also codes demonstrations around a certain topic, even if not associated with a specific identity group or organization (e.g. against climate change, anti-vaxxers, COVID-19 restrictions, etc.).
Given the above-outlined definition, political or party rallies, town hall meetings, and caucuses are not coded as 'demonstrations' by ACLED, as they reflect regular political activity by members of political organizations, civil society, and the general public. ACLED covers the occurrence of events, not the absence of action; this means that physical congregations of people are coded, while a labor strike where workers stay at home is not (though significantly large strikes would be captured by ACLED as 'Strategic developments'). Symbolic public acts are also not coded as 'demonstrations' — such as displays of flags, putting up a sign in one's yard, written chalk messages on sidewalks, a congressional walkout, etc. Additionally, vigils that are not intended to manifest any protest message also do not fulfill ACLED's requirements for inclusion.
For more on ACLED terminology, see the ACLED Codebook.

Top Tips For Writing A Resume : Log Protect
Deciding to undertake the process of looking for a new job can often be daunting, as well as challenging, especially if you are inexperienced or are not confident about writing a resume. Indeed, resume writing is an important skill to have while you should be aware that a well written resume could give you an advantage over the other candidates for a particular job. However, if you are worried about your resume writing skills, you should remember these top tips to assist you when conducting the process of looking for a new job.
One of the simplest tips that you should employ when writing a resume is to create a professional email address. This may seem relatively simple, but any potential employer will identify your level of professionalism from reading your resume which includes your email address. If you have a strange or unprofessional email address you may be rejected, regardless of your qualifications or experience. The resume represents the first contact between you and a potential employer, meaning you should always be professional and use the correct language on your resume.
Again, it may sound simple, but making sure that your contact details are correct can also help you find employment. Indeed, if your contact details are wrong, then you may miss an email or phone call about a potential interview. In order to make sure that your personal and contact details are correct, you should double check the details contained on your resume. However, if you are not confident about writing a professional resume, then you should think about hiring a company providing a professional resume service to assist you.
Choose an appropriate style and font
Another top tip that you should remember when writing a resume is to make sure that the font and size are consistent throughout your resume. You should also be aware that using the right font size is important as the person reading it will give up if it is too small. In addition, you should also be aware to make sure the margins are the right size as well as justify the content on the left side of the page to allow a potential employer to skim read your main personal details and experience level. By keeping your resume consistent in style and font, you can make a good impression on every potential employer.
Do not go into too much detail
Furthermore, you should also be aware that a resume serves as a brief overview of your qualifications and experience over the last few years. As a result, you will not need to put down that you had a paper round when you were at school, while you should be aware to put your current job first on the list of work experience. It is also important to be aware that you should put your highest level of education at the start so that a potential employer can determine your academic qualifications easily without spending time reading your entire resume.
Therefore, in conclusion, if you are thinking of changing jobs you should update your resume with your appropriate level of experience and academic qualifications while you should also make sure your resume is written professionally using the right font and size.

Arcade Fire to play UK festivals in 2014
NME Nov 20, 2013 11:47 am GMT
Win Butler's comments spark rumours they'll headline Glastonbury
Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler has hinted that the band will play UK festivals in 2014.
Whiley also fuelled the rumours by stating after her interview with the group: "The wellies have been bought for a certain UK festival – we know the one that has quite a reputation for rain and welly-wearing, we shall leave it at that."
During the interview, Butler also revealed that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin had disguised himself as a skeleton to help him DJ at an Arcade Fire show at London's Roundhouse earlier this month. Speaking about the gig, for which fans were asked to attend in either formal wear or fancy dress, Butler said: "He [Martin] was out at the DJ booth with me the other night wearing a skull mask. It was pretty cool. He was the hype man, he's an amazing hype man."
Yesterday, meanwhile, Arcade Fire revealed that they were issuing a dress code for next year's US arena tour. Butler had previously told fans at the Roundhouse that he was not apologetic for making formal of fancy dress mandatory for their UK gigs, announcing to the crowd: "To anyone who felt uncomfortable dressing up – I'm not sorry," said Butler. "At least 70 percent of you are getting laid tonight… As long as you showered. That's the secret. Boys."

'We'll continue to assist our close neighbours' - Buhari to Nigerien President
By Blessing Shemiye Bala April 20, 2021 218 No comment
NEWSMAN, Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari has assured his Republic of Niger counterpart, Mohamed Bazoum, of Nigeria's commitment to assist its close neighbours in diverse ways as required.
President Buhari said the citizens of both countries share similar cultures, languages and ways of life, with about 1,500 kilometres of land border that could not be ignored by the people, and assured Bazoum that Nigeria would continue to do all it could to stabilise the West African sub-region.
"We will stabilise our region for the benefit of the two countries. Nigerians and Nigeriens are people with similar culture, language and ways of life, and we also share about 1,500 kilometres of land border, so we cannot ignore each other," Buhari said.
President Buhari's spokesperson, in a statement in Abuja, said Buhari gave the assurance when he hosted the newly inaugurated President of Republic of Niger, who was in Nigeria on his first international visit.

REVIEW: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA RETRO-STYLE CYLON CENTURION
"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the Universe with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive--somewhere beyond the heavens!"
With these words, followed by a majestic orchestral score, the TV series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA took to the airwaves in 1978, commencing with a three-hour movie on the ABC Network.
Science-fiction, up until recently, had not had an easy time of it in either the movie theaters or on television. There had been Star Trek, of course, in the 1960's, and the movie theaters had played host to the Planet of the Apes series of movies, which had led to an unfortunately short-lived live-action television series in 1974. There had been Stanley Kubrick's confusing "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968, and 1976 had seen a movie called "Logan's Run", which purported a future world governed by a computer system in which everyone had to report for euthanasia at age 30.
But then along came Star Wars in 1977, and everything changed. Suddenly, high-quality science-fiction and space fantasy was seen as an abundantly popular, and certainly profitable and marketable format. And it continues to be so to this day. The list of movies and television programs that have benefited from the ongoing popularity of science-fiction would be preposterously too long to even begin to list here.
One of the first to take advantage of the new popularity of the genre was Battlestar Galactica, and it was no accident that the superb special effects for the time were developed by one John Dykstra, who had worked on Star Wars.
In the series premiere, we were introduced to the twelve colonies, twelve planets inhabited by a human race indistinguishable from our own. They had long developed advanced space travel, and were certainly technologically superior to us. They had also been at war, for centuries, with a race of sentient robots known as Cylons.
Allegedly, a peace had been brokered between the Colonies and the Cylon Empire. On the even of the signing of that declaration of peace, however, the truth was revealed. It had been a feint, orchestrated by a human traitor named Baltar. The colonies were attacked and devastated, as was the Colonial Fleet, a vast armada of huge spacecraft, essentially spaceborne aircraft carriers called Battlestars, that carried squadrons of fighter craft known as Vipers. At the end of the assault, the Twelve Colonies were in flames, the human race was nearly extinct, and there was only one surviving Battlestar, the Galactica. Its commanding officer, Commander Adama, made a grave decision. He assembled a fleet of any spaceworthy vessels, populated by the survivors of humanity. They would leave the ruined colonies behind, and set out across space in an effort to find a legendary 13th tribe, a 13th Colony of man, which inhabited a planet known as -- Earth.
The series lasted one season, producing 24 episodes, including a number of two-part adventures. The special effects, despite using a fair amount of stock footage over time, were top-notch for the time. The stories, with a few exceptions, were superbly written, with an emphasis on the urgency of their mission and no shortage of action.
Unfortunately, the show was just too expensive for the network, and between this and no small amount of mishandling and poor scheduling by the network, the plug was pulled. There were protests outside the network's headquarters, but to no avail.
Battlestar Galactica was briefly revived in a sequel series called "Galactica 1980", in which the Galactica did find Earth, in our present day (at the time), only to discover that Earth was not the shining technological marvel it was hoped it would be. Instead, the Galactica found itself in the unenviable position of having to covertly protect the planet from the Cylons, even as its people did what they could to bring the planet up to speed.
Unfortunately, for the most part, the series was dreadful. It had to be produced on a much cheaper budget, most of the original cast was gone, and for whatever sad reason, the network dictated that the level of "violence" had to be curtailed, and replaced by "educational content". The highlight of the series was the return of the popular character Lt. Starbuck, who would have appeared a second time if the show hadn't been, perhaps mercifully, brought down after a meager ten episodes.
In more recent years, a new Battlestar Galactica cropped up, developed by former Star Trek veteran Ron Moore. Unfortunately, this new Galactica, despite obviously superior special effects, just as a result of advancements in the field, reportedly decided to rely on political intrigue and social commentary over a decent level of action. I heard nothing good about it from anyone who was a fan of the original. I've never seen it, I have no desire to, I consider it a disgrace, and it will be ignored here.
The original Battlestar Galactica did inspire a toy line. Now, in the 1970's, the major player in the action figure world was Mego -- period. Since the early part of the decade, they had produced numerous series of 8", cloth-costumed action figures based on a wide range of concepts. Their basic design was simple, and yet it made perfect sense. They developed a basic body design that could be produced in any color needed. There was a hole in the top of the torso that any head could be easily snapped into, and the final figure could be dressed as needed. Mego had the licenses to DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Wizard of Oz, and a great many other concepts. About the only popular show of the time that they didn't have was The Six Million Dollar Man, which went to Kenner.
But in 1977, Mego missed out on Star Wars, which also went to Kenner. This was, at the very least, part of Mego's eventual downfall.
Another concept they passed on was Battlestar Galactica. It went to Mattel. In the 1970's, Mattel wasn't exactly known for action figures. They'd had exactly two hits in this area -- Major Matt Mason in the 1960's, and Big Jim in the 1970's. Masters of the Universe was still several years away. Their Galactica figures were -- not terribly inspired. Their best one was of Muffit, the robot dog (or "daggit" in Galactica-speak), which in the series was actually a chimpanzee -- one assumes an exceptionally well-trained and tolerant one -- in a robot dog suit. Their Cylons weren't bad, and at least featured a cool chrome finish. Their humans were -- meh. Not terribly well detailed, and certainly not very well painted. No facial features whatsoever were painted onto these 3-3/4" scale figures.
I still have my daggit, and it's about the only Galactica toy of the time that I bought. One sort of wonders what would have happened if Mego had picked up the Galactica license.
Wonder no more! A company with the rather unusual name of "BifBangPow", in conjunction with EmCe Toys, a company dedicated to bring back the Mego-style action figures as precisely as possible (and having done a generally superb job of this with their Star Trek and Planet of the Apes lines), has produced a series of 8" tall, cloth-costumed, Mego-type action figures based on the original Battlestar Galactica!
This review will take a look at the figure of the CYLON CENTURION. First of all, let's consider the history of the Cylons.
The Cylons were not originally the mechanical foils seen throughout the series, but an advanced reptilian race who created the robots (who were referred to as Cylons within the show) to serve them, maintain their vast empire and to man their military forces in the face of a sudden population drop that eventually led to the Cylons' extinction — seemingly overnight. This fact is briefly mentioned in the 1978 movie-length premiere of the series when Apollo relates the Cylons' origin to Boxey. In the episode "War of the Gods", during Count Iblis's private discourse with Count Baltar, Baltar mentions that he recognizes Iblis's voice, referring to Patrick Macnee's voicing of the Imperious Leader in the opening episode/theatrical movie (Macnee also played Iblis), with Iblis countering that if that was true it must have been "transcribed" over a thousand yahren (years) ago and programmed into the mechanical body of the Imperious Leader.
The follow-up series Galactica 1980 had a two-episode arc entitled "The Night the Cylons Landed" that featured a humanoid Cylon, though this was still a complex mechanical construct.
There are various types of Cylons established within the original series.
Imperious Leader is the leader of the Cylon Alliance and highest Cylon model. The Imperious Leader is an IL-Series Cylon with some extra augmentation, including a third brain and a body shell resembling the reptilian Cylons. It is stated in the original novelization of the pilot episode that the Imperious Leader's third brain is specifically designed to emulate the human mind, solely for the purpose of anticipating human actions. One was killed at the Battle of Carillon in the pilot episode and his successor was possibly destroyed during the Battle of Gamoray in the episode: "The Living Legend - part 2". In the original 1978-79 series, the voice of the Imperious Leader is identical to that of Count Iblis, as both were performed by Patrick Macnee. In the Galactica 1980 episode "Space Croppers", the voice of the Imperious Leader was performed by Dennis Haysbert. All of the Imperious Leaders look identical.
IL-series Cylons act as commanders for the military and governors for civilians of the Alliance. They have two brains, and a mostly transparent head through which various lights can be seen pulsing. They also have a metallic, semi- humanoid face with two eye scanners (compared to the single eye scanner of the Centurion models), and wear clothing, in the form of full-length glittering robes. Two IL-series Cylons have been seen onscreen, both of which have an effete human-sounding voice, unlike the flat mechanical tones of Centurions. They are Lucifer, Baltar's ambitious second in command -- rather ironically voiced by Jonathan Harris, better known as Dr. Smith from "Lost in Space", who had a running feud with that show's Robot, and Specter, commander on the planet Atilla in "The Young Lords", and a rival of Lucifer and equally ambitious, voiced by Murray Matheson. Lucifer refers to the second Imperious Leader as being upgraded from being a IL-model like himself.
Command Centurions are Centurions with gold armor. These are the lower commanders for individual military units, though they can be responsible for entire Basestars and garrisons. The most well-known Cylon of this model is Commander Vulpa in "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero". Their voices are slightly lower pitched than regular Centurions.
In the novelization of the original series it is stated that there is an elite class of Command Centurions, referred to as First Centurions, roughly equivalent to feudal Counts, which act as executive officers to the Imperious Leader and are not subordinate to the IL-Series, and like the IL-series, they were also said to have multiple brains. In the TV series these are actually seen on screen, though very rarely, and are distinguished from other Command Centurions by black bands on their gold armor. Vulpa was originally of this class but had been demoted and stationed on ice planet Arcta.
Military androids with silver armor. Basic Centurions make up the ground forces and pilots of the Alliance military. Centurions are armed with a powerful energy weapon, often referred to as a blaster rifle. They also have bayonets and swords for close combat and the execution of prisoners. Although Earth's Roman Centurions commanded a unit of eighty men, Cylon Centurions form the rank and file of the Cylon forces. Some Centurions in the series have been given names: Flight Leader Serpentine from "Saga of a Star World", Centuri from "The Night the Cylons Landed" (Galactica 1980), and Cyrus from "The Return of Starbuck" (also Galactica 1980). In the episode "The Lost Warrior", there is a Cylon Centurion that remained active after its ship crashed on the planet Equellus and was named "Red Eye" by the humans who found it.
The Cylon Centurions – the type most often depicted in the original Battlestar Galactica — were designed by the same concept artist who had worked on Star Wars, artist Ralph McQuarrie).
Both the gold Command Centurions and the silver Centurions had their voices vocalized with the use of an EMS Vocoder 2000.
There is also a unique Cylon with glittering robes, with a metallic humanoid face. They are seen in the Imperious Leader's delegation to Gamoray in "The Living Legend". This is evidently some kind of civilian Cylon, as Gamoray is said to have a very large community of civilian Cylons, though how civilian Cylon society differs from its military is never explored.
In the 1978 Galactica movie and series and the 1980 spin-off, the Cylons were created by an extinct reptilian race that were also called Cylons, as related by Apollo in the premiere episode. In the episode "War of the Gods", Count Baltar mentions that the reptilian Cylons were eventually "overcome by their own technology," and recognizes Iblis's voice as that of the Cylon leader, and Iblis counters that if that was true it must have been "transcribed" over a thousand yahren (years) ago.
At the beginning of the series the Cylons are singularly devoted to the destruction of humanity. The war started when the Cylon Empire sought to expand into the territory of the Hasaries, and the Human Colonies intervened on behalf of the conquered Hasaries. Due to those events, the Cylon Empire now viewed the entire human race as a target.
Cylons are led by the Imperious Leader, an IL-Series Cylon elevated to a supreme leadership position over all Cylons. All Cylons from the IL-series down, typically repeat the phrase "By Your Command" when responding to any order.
The Cylon Empire is also responsible for tributary powers under the aegis of the Cylon Alliance. The Ovions (an insectoid race enslaved by the Cylons and transported to the planet Carillon for mining purposes) are the only known member of the Cylon Alliance shown onscreen. Aside from the Ovions and (the defeated) Hasaries, the only other known race conquered by the Cylons are the Delphians, which are mentioned to have been exterminated in "The Living Legend".
Cylon society appears to be almost exclusively military. Until the discovery of Gamoray, which the Colonial fleet had targeted for its rich fuel reserves, no civilian Cylon outpost had ever been seen by anyone.
And on a personal note, the Cylons represent the only time I've ever been actually assaulted by a pop culture villain from any fictional concept. Allow me a few moments to elaborate.
In 1978-79, Universal Studios was understandably pushing Galactica. At Universal Studios in California, part of their Tram Tour included a Galactica-based attraction, which featured a stop in a futuristic setting which had been taken over by Cylons. At one point, a Colonial Warrior broke through, and engaged in a battle with the Cylons, using real laser-firing weapons. The Colonial Warrior was victorious, and the Tram proceeded on its way.
That was cool, but elsewhere in the park, they had this costumed guy dressed up as a Cylon. Visit almost any major theme park that HAS a prominent theme, and you'll find costumed characters. And for whatever reason, this Cylon decided to pick me as a target.
He grabbed me around the neck and started making remarks about the extinction of humanity. It was an effective costume -- all chrome and black, the roving red eye, and I suspect one of those Vocoder devices was somewhere in the helmet. He was big, too.
Just one problem. He was playing his role a little too well, because he was actually choking me, and I was starting to have a little trouble with my airways. Only when I told him that I was a personal friend of Commander Adama and that an entire squadron of Vipers would be all over him if he didn't let me go, did he finally relent and release me. And where the heck I found the presence of mind to play along at that point I'll never know.
Meanwhile, there's several dozen other tourists around who doubtless thought it was all part of the show, and I likely worked for the company. As if...
You know, twenty years later, I was verbally harassed at Universal Studios by someone dressed up as one of the Commando Elite from "Small Soldiers". Now look, I like Battlestar Galactica. I like the movie Small Soldiers. But really, people, you wouldn't see this sort of thing happen at Disneyland... I'm all for giving costumed characters a bit more freedom than they seem to have in the Land of the Mouse, but sheesh! Getting choked out on one occasion and taunted on another isn't my idea of a vacation. If I were to visit the Marvel section of Universal's Islands of Adventure in Florida, I'd probably get chased down by Doctor Doom.
*Ahem!* Anyway...
So, how's the figure? Absolutely outstanding. Let me say this. I've been seeing any number of Mego-esque retro-type figures that seem to be a good bit more advanced than what I think Mego would have actually turned out back in the day if they'd had the opportunity. That's not a complaint. The sadly short-lived Zica Toys did an amazing Buck Rogers figure based on that TV series, and I was really looking forward to their Hawk. EmCe's own Star Trek figures seem to have taken a few steps up the ladder with their all-new Next Generation division, featuring Captain Picard and a Borg. And then we have this Cylon Centurion!
BifBangPow has licensed the body design of the Mego-type action figures from EmCe Toys. They also made one improvement on it -- they added an upper arm swivel. Beyond this, as far as I can determine, the body design is very nearly identical. And no, I don't intend to undress the figure to find out. Way too complicated.
The design is certainly closer than Mattel's Retro-Action DC Super-Heroes. I have no argument with that line, and it was certainly cool to finally have figures of quite a few characters that Mego never made, but I do wish the design had been a little closer. BifBangPow got a lot closer, by working with the company that brought back the design.
The headsculpt is superb. The head is painted silver, with some black detailing in the back, a black grill where the mouth would normally be, and the eyeslit, through which a single red eye, a bright light, customarily moved back and forth, has been painted deep red. Nicely done.
The figure is wearing a black body suit made from the same kind of stretchy knit fabric that Mego used for many of their costumes. Now, we come to the armor, and this Cylon has plenty of it, and it's all been chromed in silver. These include an ornate chest plate and back plate, with accompanying belt and lower torso armor, armbands, heavy gauntlets, and boots with fancy chrome knee pads.
What I can't entirely figure out is how they got this armor on the figure. Well, the armbands and such aren't too hard to figure out, but the center piece -- it's a mystery. It's also a very well detailed mystery, with black painted detail where appropriate, some little colored buttons on the back, and even a very ornate bit of fabric hanging down in the back like a partial tunic, a detail that might have been easy to overlook, but definitely was not here. The fabric is a thin mesh with little silver sequins in it.
The armbands are distinctly separate from the lower arms. The hands are part of the figure itself, of course. The boots are clearly derived from Mego's original design, with the addition of the chrome knee-pads. These boots have also been used for Apollo and Starbuck in the Galactica line, and they have the initials "DM" on the bottom, standing for "Dr. Mego", a well-known collector and customizer.
The upper legs also have leather-like wraparounds. This is appropriate for the Cylon Centurion, and uses a type of fabric that Mego also utilized on certain of their action figures, especially in Planet of the Apes and Star Trek.
The end result is extremely impressive, but I also have to say that the figure as a whole is probably a little more complex than what Mego would have actually turned out in 1978. Frankly, they probably would have found the Cylon a considerable challenge. It might have been interesting to see what they would have done, but I have to say that I am abundantly pleased with BifBangPow's efforts.
Of course, the figure is very nicely articulated, and is poseable at the head, arms, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knees, and ankles. Some of the uniform components restrict some of the articulation a bit, but I have the feeling that the actors wearing these outfits probably had the same difficulty. That one at Universal Studios didn't exactly run off after letting me go.
The Cylon Centurion comes with two accessories, a blaster rifle, and a sword. Both are very nicely done. It's weird to think of a futuristic robot using a sword, but, there it is, and I do seem to recall them turning up in the series from time to time.
There are two other Cylon versions in this collection, which are pictured on the package. A "Battle-Damaged" version, and a gold-trimmed Cylon Commander. To the best of my knowledge, the only place these have been sold was as a set at the San Diego Comic-Con.
So, what's my final word? I wish the original Battlestar Galactica had fared better, or been treated better. I have no use for the more recent series. At least the original clearly has its adherents to this day.
As such, there is still the original series, which has been released on DVD, and now, there's some truly awesome action figures based upon it. If you're a fan of the original Battlestar Galactica, and as such, you really need to have the Cylon Centurion, then you definitely need to check out these action figures. You will be immensely pleased.
One last thought. There's a lot of potential for this line, and I really hope that BifBangPow isn't going to limit it to just one assortment and the Comic-Con set. The logical candidates were certainly chosen -- Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, and several Cylons. But consider what else could be done. A second assortment could readily include Colonel Tigh, Lt. Boomer, Baltar, and -- heck, why not Commander Cain of the Battlestar Pegasus? And although it would take some extra tooling, I'd buy a two-pack featuring Boxey and the robot Daggit, Muffit. And how about Lucifer? Or Count Iblis? Lots of potential here.
In the meantime, the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA figure of the CYLON CENTURION from BifBangPow definitely has my highest recommendation!

Both utricle and saccule have a thickened portion of the membrane called the macula . (wikibooks.org)
In the saccule, this is called a macula, meaning a spot. (coursera.org)
The anterior and posterior semicircular canals detect rotations of the head in the sagittal plane (as when nodding), and in the frontal plane, as when cartwheeling. (wikipedia.org)
In the adult human inner ear, we observed BDNF mRNA expression in the apical poles of the cochlear hair cells and supporting cells, while in the adult human utricle, the expression was localized in the vestibular hair cells. (springer.com)
The utricle contains calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia), and if these crystals fall into the semicircular canal they lead to the false sense that the head and body are spinning. (loudounsportstherapy.com)
The posterior semicircular canal is a part of the vestibular system that detects rotation of the head around the left-right (frontal) axis, or in other words rotation in the coronal plane. (wikipedia.org)
The canals are organized into functional pairs, wherein both members of the pair lie in the same plane. (medscape.com)
It occurs when the otoconia in the utricle fall into one of the semicircular canals. (loudounsportstherapy.com)
While others had discounted the semicircular canals, we showed that the contributions of the utricle and saccule to the vestibular modulation of MSNA are very similar. (frontiersin.org)
Each of the three semicircular canals lies in a plane that is orthogonal to the other two. (nobaproject.com)
Both anterior and posterior canals are orientated at approximately 45° between frontal and sagittal planes. (wikipedia.org)
The orientations of the canals cause a different canal to be stimulated by movement of the head in different planes. (wikipedia.org)
The horizontal, vertical, and sagittal planes divide space into various sectors: something is perceived as "above" or "below" (the horizontal plane), as "in front of" or "behind" (the vertical plane), or as "to the right" or "to the left" (of the sagittal plane). (britannica.com)
The utricle senses motion in the horizontal plane, and the saccule senses motion in the vertical plane. (loudounsportstherapy.com)
Movement of fluid within this canal corresponds to rotation of the head around a vertical axis (i.e. the neck), or in other words rotation in the transverse plane. (wikipedia.org)
For instance, common activities, such as taking an elevator and standing on an escalator or moving walkway, result in activation of the vestibular receptor cells of the saccule and utricle, respectively. (jneurosci.org)
It primarily gathers information about linear movement in the vertical plane, including the force due to gravity. (wikipedia.org)
p75NTR immunostaining was most prominent in the nerve fibers that penetrate into the sensory epithelia of the cochlea, the urticule and the saccule as gestational age progresses. (springer.com)
A specific type of eye movement called nystagmus, which is repetitive jerky movements of the eye, most often in the horizontal direction, may cause dizziness. (encyclopedia.com)
Each canal is oriented at right angles to the others, enabling detection of movement in any plane. (wikipedia.org)
These planes all intersect at right angles, and their single axis of intersection is defined as being located within perceived three-dimensional space-that is, in the "eye" of the perceiving individual. (britannica.com)
Any rotation in that plane is excitatory to one of the members of the pair and inhibitory to the other. (medscape.com)
In fact, most vestibular functions are imperceptible, but vestibular-related sensations such as motion sickness can pop up rapidly when riding on a roller coaster, having a bumpy plane ride, or a sailing a boat in rough seas. (nobaproject.com)
Furthermore, each canal is maximally sensitive to rotations that lie in the plane of the canal. (medscape.com)
The otolithic organs in the ear, called the utricle and the saccule, tell us about movement in a straight line, backward, or forward. (ahealthyme.com)
anterior and posterior canals
Hair cells within the vestibular epithelia are oriented such that they are direction-selective ( Lindeman, 1969 ), however when afferent fibers that relay information from these cells in the semicircular canals, utricle and saccule all converge onto the brainstem vestibular nuclei this signal then becomes more complex. (frontiersin.org)

Officially incorporated on December 19, 1898, Sedro-Woolley was formed from neighboring rival towns known as Bug and Woolley in Skagit County, northwestern Washington, 25 miles (40 km) inland from the Puget Sound, 40 miles (64 km) south of the border with Canada and 65 miles (105 km) north of Seattle.[5]
Four British bachelors, led by David Batey, homesteaded the area in 1878, the time logjam obstructions were cleared downriver at the site of Mount Vernon.[6] In 1884–85, Batey built a store and home for the arrival of the Mortimer Cook family from Santa Barbara, California where Cook had been mayor for two terms. Cook intended to name his new Pacific Northwest town Bug due to the number of mosquitos present, but his wife protested along with a handful of local wives. Cook was already the namesake for the town Cook's Ferry on the Thompson River in British Columbia. With "Bug" being so unpopular, Cook derived a town name from Spanish; knowing "cedro" was the word for cedar, he replaced one letter to make the name unique, settling on "Sedro".[7]

5 steps to handling loss – Lara Trace Hentz

5 steps to handling loss
Help Yourself & Others – By Sharon L. Mikrut http://www.selfgrowth.com/
People often tell me that they don't know what to say when someone experiences a loss. I explain that often times the person experiencing the loss simply needs to talk. You don't need to say anything; just be there to listen and support the individual. However, most people are still uncomfortable with helping family members, friends, and colleagues cope with loss. This article provides information on understanding loss and tips to be in a better position to help yourself and others work through their own loss.
1. Recognize that we all experience loss and grief at some point in our lives. You might have lost a child, parent, significant other, or pet; went through a divorce; suffered a serious illness, acquired a disability, or became an addict; been burglarized, assaulted, or raped; or suffered some other type of loss. Remember how that loss made you feel and how you wanted people to treat or respond to you as you worked through your loss. The memory of your experience, and what worked or didn't work for you, can aid you in helping others to work through their own loss.
2. Try not to compare your loss to another person's loss, as you don't know how it feels to be in their shoes. Even though their loss may not seem as significant as the loss you have experienced, that doesn't make their loss any less in their eyes. They need to process their personal loss in a way that works best for them. It may not be the same process that you used or are using, so be careful to avoid comparisons and, hence, judgment.
3. Understand the different stages of loss or grief. Helen Kubler Ross wrote a book titled "On Death and Dying." This book outlines five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. An individual who is dying or has experienced a significant loss is most likely to experience most, if not all, of these stages. Also, there is no set order in which people experience the different stages of grief. The important thing is to understand the emotions and behaviors associated with each stage, which are as follows:
a. Denial – this is when the person denies or rejects the actual loss. To provide an example of this stage and the following four stages, we will use an individual who has been diagnosed with a terminal cancer. In this stage, the individual may deny the seriousness of the situation. They might make statements, such as "It can't be that serious… I feel fine" or "I'm sure they made a mistake in the diagnosis." If someone is in denial, acknowledge that this is one of the stages of grief/loss. Allow the individual to work through that stage, unless they get stuck and intervention is needed.
b. Anger – this is when the person moves beyond denial and becomes angry with or at the loss. For example, the individual with terminal cancer may make statements, such as "Why is this happening to me?" or "This isn't fair!" Being angry at something in which you feel you have no control is common among people. People often need to vent to get it out of their system. Allow the individual sufficient time and space to vent and work through their anger.
c. Bargaining – this is when the person experiences a surge of hope and begins to make bargains. For example, the individual with cancer may make statements, such as "I will do anything to live a few more years" or "I will eat healthy meals and exercise daily, anything to stay alive!" We have all heard people make bargains when faced with a life-threatening situation; it is perfectly normal.
d. Depression – this is when the person is no longer in denial, has worked through their anger, and realizes the futility of bargaining. They sink into a depressed state, not wanting to be around family members or friends. This may be difficult for the individual's loved ones, but it is a stage that people need to go through.
e. Acceptance – this is when the person understands the seriousness of their situation and is prepared to accept it as best as they can. They may make statements, such as "Don't worry, it will be okay" or "I'm going to die so let me get my papers in order." There is not much you can say at this point. It is best to simply support the individual in whatever manner they need.
4. Even if you have not experienced the exact loss that someone is going through, you can still be there to listen to and support them. They are not looking for advice; they are looking for a friend. As they speak, acknowledge their words and emotions by nodding your head and/or making an occasional comment, such as "I can't understand what you're going through, but it must be tough… " or "It's okay to get it all out; I'm here for you." People need to feel that they are being heard; it is the most important gift you can give them.
5. If an individual seems to be stuck in the grief cycle, you might suggest that they seek counseling or join a support group, where they can be with others who have experienced a similar loss. You could also share literature or additional resources that might be helpful. Although they may not accept any of your suggestions, at least you have planted the seed for them to know where to go and who to talk to should they need additional support in the future. That may be the best you can do at that time.
Dealing with grief and loss can be tough but if you use your personal experience, avoid making comparisons as to when and how to deal with loss, understand and recognize the five stages of grief/loss, are able to support an individual without giving advice, and share resources with individuals who might need additional support, you will be in a better position to help yourself and others who are experiencing loss.

SANDERS ADDISON CROWELL
Much of the following information came from The Simon Crowell Family by Judith Jo Linenfelser. Documentation is added where it is known.
Sanders Addison Crowell was born March 4, 1825 in Mecklenburg County North Carolina. His parents were William Crowell and Ellen Smith. The family was in North Carolina in 1830 but by 1845 Sanders and probably his parents were in Caldwell County Kentucky. Benjamin Crowell, brother to William was an early resident of this county.
Sanders Addison Crowell married Sarah Jane Laughlin on April 24, 1845 in Caldwell County. Benjamin Crowell and Johnson Laughlin witnessed their wedding, from Caldwell County Marriage Book 2, page 57
Sarah Jane and Sanders Addison. were the parents of at least eight children:
1. Louisa Jane born 1846, wed James Kenaday 2/17/1865Caldwell county Marriage book 3, page 11
2. Sarah Eliza. born 1848, I believed she died before 1863, as they named another daughter Sarah Elizabeth then.
3. Ellender Elizabeth born Dec.27, 1852, wed S.K. McNeeley 5/14/1873Caldwell county Marriage book 11, page 141
4. Benjamin J. born Nov. 19, 1854 wed Nancy E. Dunn 2/23/1876 Caldwell county Marriage book 12, page 75
5. Robert Wylie born Oct.1856 wed Nancy Williamson 9/28/1876, Caldwell county Marriage book 12, page 118
6. Rachel Julia born Sept 11, 1858 maybe wed R. A. Dunn 8/24/1876, Caldwell county Marriage book 12, page 110 (listed as Julia A. Crowell)
7. Rosannabell born Oct 14, 1860 wed George Walter Blackburn and then 3 others after his death
8. Sarah E. born March 29, 1863 wed Marion L. Greathouse in Jackson Ct. IL
The 1850 Caldwell County Census lists the family in the 2nd District as follows:
S.A. Crowell 25 farmer born NC
Sarah Jane 24 born KY
Louisa Jane 4 born KY
Sarah Elizabeth. 2 born KY
Elizabeth R. Laughlin 28 born KY (perhaps Sarah Jane's sister)
On May 19, 1859, Sanders A. Crowell had surveyed 140 acres on the elk fork of the Tradewater River. Kentucky Land Grants 1872-1924, book 57.
Elk Creek runs along side Rt. 293. north east of the Crowell Cemetery. However, on a recent visit, we found streets and streams had had their name changed to reflect 20th century ownership. It is hard to tell where the original Elk branch ran. Interestingly, the surveyor of his grant was Johnson Laughlin, his father-in-law. Grant Book M or N, page 23,24
The 1860 Caldwell county Census lists the family thus:
S. A. Crowell 33
Sarah Jane 33
Sarah Jane Laughlin Crowell died March 15, 1864 and is buried in the Crowell Cemetery. After her death S.A. married Mrs. Martha (Williamson) Dickson on May 2, 1864. Thomas Williamson and Henderson Williamson witnessed the wedding. Caldwell County Marriage book 6, page 147
Martha and S.A. Crowell had five known children according to Judy Wakeman, Crowell Historian
1. William S. born May1865 in KY wed Sarah J Barnes 11/2/1886 Caldwell county Marriage Book 16, page 52
2. James born 1867 in KY
3. Thomas F. born 1869 in KY
4. Nellie M. born 1875 in KY wed W.T.Parker 8/31/1890, Caldwell county Marriage Book 17, page 168
5. Sophronia born 1878 in IL
The 1870 Caldwell County Census. has:
S.A. Crowell 44
Ellin 16
Rosa 10 (her full name was Rosannabell)
William 5 they were really at least a year apart, and probably closer to 2
Martha and her baby Thomas F. must have been gone when the census taker came round. Sanders and Martha moved to Jackson County Illinois between 1875 and 1878. That county is on the Mississippi River about halfway between St. Louis and the southern tip of the state.
The 1880 Jackson, County Illinois Census, FHfilm #1254215, page 140C show the family living in Murphysboro,Jackson Ct. IL.
Sanders Addison Crowell, age 57, working in a cold mine.
Martha Crowell, age 49
William S., age 15, working on a farm
Thomas F., age 11
Nellie, age 5
Sofronia, age2
William was the only one in the family that was listed as able to read, None could write.
Sometime between 1880 and 1887 the family returned to Caldwell County. Caldwell County Court Records 1887 – 1891 on film # 469451, page 173 states that S. A. Crowell on Oct. 26, 1887 was released from taxation for old age. He was 62 at the time. S.A. died in 1890 and is also buried in the Crowell Cemetery. It can be found off Nunnswitch Rd near Blackford Church Rd between Tidewater and Shady Grove. The Crowell cemetery is very difficult to get to. There is no road. We were told to wear hip boots and plan on a hike through corn fields. As it had been raining a lot, we did not get there. I do not know the source of the Crowell cemetery information.

Your house construction team will consist of numerous consultants, construction professionals and tradesmen who all contribute to the completion of your new home.
If you are a self builder and taking on the project management yourself then the appointment and coordination of these guys will be down to you.
Effective management of a construction project is helped by first having an understanding of the complex nature of the construction team.
A diverse bunch of consultants, builders and tradesmen come together and collaborate to complete a construction project before disbanding and moving on to the next one. It’s likely that many parties haven’t worked together before and each will arrive on the job with their own priorities and agendas.
In addition, there is often a lack of knowledge or understanding of other people’s skills and working requirements within the project team.
These characteristics can prove problematic, pulling the project in different directions. It can lead to conflict, delays and extra cost. It’s down to the project manager to pull the team together and steer them, and the project, to a successful completion.
The members of the house building team will vary from build to build and the requirements will vary depending on:
The first member of your team will typically be your designer who you may even approach before purchasing a plot of land. Although we are all familiar with architects in this role, there are a number of other design options you can consider.
A standard design without any major hiccups will only require the usual suspects but a complex build could see the need for any number of consultants, contractors and contributors from the list below:
Give your project the best chances of success by choosing good people and managing the construction team effectively,
Even though portfolio updates are pretty popular these days, my private nature kind of prevented me from posting updates of my own. I usually don’t like to blindly follow the crowd just because everyone is telling you it’s the cool thing to do.
But under all that pear pressure, I still took time to carefully think about it and reconsider my position. I finally decided that publishing these numbers could do no harm. So here it is!
From now on, you can expect similar articles every 12 weeks or so. I’ll also publish Our DIY Portfolio Positions on a regular basis.
Before we begin, I’ll remind you that I am not an investment or tax professional of any kind. The intent of this blog is not to give specific investing advice. Before investing yourself, we suggest you to do all necessary research and consult a licensed financial professional if need be.
Our first Investing Goals is to invest at least 12% of our family’s salary every year. An important portion of that money goes in our DIY Portfolio.
Today, it really feels great to see that small but steady efforts got us to this point. Over the last seven years, on top of other holdings not directly managed by myself because they are much more tax efficient, we managed to invested an average of about 10K$ of new money every year. Good returns provided additional value and we are also proud that our portfolio grew to a little more than 140K$.
This year is no different as we maintain our constant resolution and already have invested more than 7K$ as of August 1st.
Interesting fact to note thus far: about half of our portfolio value was provided by our savings and the other half came from portfolio return.
Because I believe short term fluctuations don’t matter that much, most of the time, I like to adopt a long term point of view when I look at My Portfolio performance. That being said, you still have to remain vigilant and monitor your portfolio accordingly.
My second Investing Goals is to maintain a long term portfolio return of 12%. In theory, from my original assumptions, it could be possible to obtain an 8% capital return coupled with a 4% dividend return while keeping others (mainly fees) as close to zero as possible.
As one of my friends said to me recently, he would really like to live in theory because in theory, all is well.
In practice, inside our portfolio, dividends are slightly below 4%, capital returns around 10% and others stay above zero for a total portfolio return of more than 15%.
In reality, our dividend performance under 4% can in part be explained by the fact that we now own some positions that don’t actually pay dividends like Fairfax (FFH) and CGI (GIB.A). With these, we deviated from our exclusive preference for dividend paying stocks as we felt they could provide more than adequate returns while improving diversification.
Capital return is much better than originally anticipated but has recently declined. After a prolonged period going up, for most of the year, North American markets have been stagnating. I won’t get into the why because for me, it does not really matter. Simply put, several months of zero return have a pretty bad influence on a high average: this would plainly explain why capital return is down.
My answer will be pretty simple but I realize that in fact, it can sometime be a very hard thing to do: prepare to invest and buy more!
Markets going down must be viewed as good news. It only means that opportunities are coming; great opportunities to acquire stocks at attractive prices. In the long run, it can only be very good for your portfolio.
You still have to resist the urge to sell some positions just because they performed badly in the short term.
For us, all is well as new money is regularly coming in. On top of our usual dividends, an additional investment of more than 4K$ is planned in the upcoming months.
To answer this one, new candidates on our Watch List are rare as our portfolio is pretty mature. We feel that monitoring more than 36 different stocks can become a hassle. So we will probably add to some of our existing positions.
To help us achieve this, we will use our Dip Factor tool. As usual, candidates with a Dip Factor over 3 will be strongly considered but we will be extra careful with those above 4.

'Keep Martin and Roy in charge and we'll continue to get performances like that... Time for a change'
HE OVERSAW A disastrous second coming as Tipperary senior hurling manager and it seems that Michael ‘Babs’ Keating just can’t let it go, if a remarkable rant aired on Newstalk last night is anything to go by.
Keating took aim at the Tipperary county board for refusing him tickets to the 2015 All-Ireland senior hurling final and also lashed former stars Brendan Cummins, Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett.
Keating dropped Cummins and Kelly in 2007 but the pair returned better than ever to win an All-Ireland title under Liam Sheedy’s guidance in 2010.
Despite the fact that they’re renowned as two of the finest players in the history of the game, Keating questioned the credentials of Cummins and Kelly.
In his recently published autobiography, Standing My Ground, Cummins lifted the lid on the ‘dysfunctional’ team environment when Keating returned for his second stint in 2006.
But Keating claimed that he could not get through to Cummins when trying to implement a puckout strategy and questioned Kelly’s application during his time as manager.
“I do, I do. I’ll always remember having a chat with Nicky English, and he had met (former Cork football boss) Billy Morgan, and Billy went back.
“Billy’s words to Nicky were, you’ll not be dealing with the same people you dealt with in the years beforehand.
I found a huge difference between the type of players I had in the dressing room in the last few years that was there in the previous time. The fun we had in the old days, with the old squad, no matter who you sat beside, you enjoyed it.
I found a different bunch. I can’t find the right word but at the end of the day, when you think of the interview I had with county board for the job, 90 per cent of the interview was devoted to discipline so if county board saw it that way, obviously there was a problem with that bunch of Tipperary players. I said ‘I’ll deal with this provided you stand by me.’ I dealt with the discipline but unless your county board stood by me…”
“I write an article for The Sun, and upset somebody by some of my comments. I still stand by anything I wrote because I think I’m fairly sensitive to constructive criticism in that area. But I was dealing with a county secretary in Thurles who didn’t know what happened back in ’86. When I started in ’86, Tipperary hadn’t a shilling.
“I got the job and the county secretary Tommy Barrett said ‘you’re county manager now but we don’t have a shilling to buy a hurling ball.’ Tipperary had hosted the All-Ireland in ’84 but unlike today where there’s Government grants coming and different handouts from the provinces and Central funds, they weren’t available.
“Tipperary basically contributed to the full development of Semple Stadium and I was part of that. I walked the streets in Dublin in the early 80s, collecting money to support the All-Ireland.
“And when I came back then as manager, guys who I referred to, Mr. Quinlan, who looked after Fox, fellas that wouldn’t take a shilling for Tipperary hurling, the same way the guys I got jobs for because we were in a recession in the late 80s, the same as the last eight years.
“Employment was a huge issue and lucky enough I had guys on the committee, men of influence that were able to give jobs but some of these guys came back to me for tickets.
“They didn’t know the county secretary. So that’s the fix I was in this year and previous years, to look after guys that looked after us. But look, he refused me and life goes on.
“I think it was their mistake, if the texts and phone calls I got in support reflect the attitude of the people out there against county board, I think the county secretary made a huge mistake.
“It’s my job to give a fairly honest analysis as I see it. Having been there myself as a player and manager, I’m not going to hold back if I see something wrong.
“I’ve been very critical…I’ll give you one particular situation – the Monday night before the All-Ireland in 2014, management dropped three of the best young lads in the county. For some reason, county board covered that up.

“Young (Colin) O’Riordan was one of them, who’s gone off to Sydney Swans, young (Michael Breen) Breen was another one, I can’t think of the other one.
“To do that…I started the Supporters Club so that a situation like that would never happen, with any Tipperary player but particularly to do it to three U21s, who are the future of Tipperary hurling. More than myself would suggest that some of them should be on the team and they could certainly do with them now.
“They said they were surplus to requirements but that’s not good enough to me, they were outstanding in the U21 campaign that year and they were on the panel.
“To bring guys on the panel that are never going to contribute to Tipperary hurling…if I’m going to be criticised for having a go in that area, i’ll stand by it.
“This year I criticised the team…they went to Dubai on their holidays, they went back to Malaga training in Spain two months later, and they came back to Kilkenny to play Waterford in the League semi-final and were atrocious.
“Cork were already in a League final…everything is about finance in a county like Tipperary, we don’t have the luxury that Dublin have with sponsors that are going to deliver millions.
“A League final against Cork in Thurles would have been worth about €120-130,000 to the county and yet we went to Malaga after being in Dubai, and then we went to Carton House for a couple of days and nights. I’m the guy who got huge support from the hotel people in Tipperary. That’s why areas I criticise, the management for, and I’ll stand by that.
“They certainly didn’t cooperate with us and the rules that John Leahy and Tom Barry and myself laid down were the rules that wouldn’t have Tipperary in the situation they’re in today.
“Eoin Kelly got injured playing Dublin (qualifier) out in Parnell Park, he came off after ten minutes. We played Wexford the following Saturday, I had an arrangement with White’s Hotel, who had the ah, ah, the, am, you know the ice baths and all that?
“I had an arrangement where we used…and I suggested to Eoin Kelly that he should go there immediately to get himself right.
“I checked on Monday and he never turned up. He came on and told everyone he was fit to play. At the end of the day, Eoin Kelly was on for 53 minutes against Wexford (All-Ireland quarter-final) that day and didn’t deliver because he wasn’t fit to deliver.
“The same way with Brendan Cummins, nobody got more warnings about the way we wanted to play hurling than Brendan Cummins, and he just didn’t cooperate with us.
“We had a young keeper who I still think should be on the Tipperary panel, Gerry Kennedy, he was exceptional but because of his association with me, he was never heard of again.
“If you’re training and spend the kind of money in training that Tipperary county board spent, it’s not unreasonable to expect that everybody in the field know where the puckout is going.
“Now, I played left half forward with Tipperary and John O’Donoghue was in the goal, I knew that I was getting his puckout, we had an arrangement. When Tony Wall was taking a free from the half-back line, everyone in the forward line knew.
“That’s not unreasonable to expect from management, that you’d have those kind of signals. Could I get through to Brendan Cummins? Certainly not.
“If you take Lar Corbett, Lar Corbett came to me one night at training, I couldn’t get him to train and he said to me that his doctor told him that if he kept training he wouldn’t be able to walk when he was 30.
“Lar Corbett never trained with us, that was the situation for two or three years. I was around long enough to know that you cannot compete in the game we’re at unless you’re superbly fit.
“I was after experiencing the best Tipperary hurlers, the Jimmy Doyles, the Liam Devaneys, the Donie Nealons, I had played with those guys. I had gone through with Declan Ryan and John Leahy, superb leaders.
“I had all the experience, I wanted Eoin Kelly to be up there with the best, that they be remembered as the best. I think he will but he could have been so much better, that’s my opinion.
He’s as skilful a player as I’ve ever seen but he wasn’t able to back it up from a fitness point of view.
“They were obviously very unlucky last year but I did say when Johnny O’Dwyer missed that free that Johnny O’Dwyer might never see an All-Ireland.
“And unless there’s a radical change to Tipperary hurling, my words might come true because at the end of the day, you saw those retired from the panel in recent times, nobody can name the squad that’s going to play for Tipperary.
“It’s going to be a difficult League campaign for Tipperary and the last thing Mick Ryan and his management team want to be facing is relegation.”
“The county felt it was time for him to go. Go on to Shane McGrath, he’s been in and out, a few poor years since the All-Ireland in 2010.
“He was in and out of play this year, he didn’t contribute against Galway, Galway owned centre field. If Seamus Callanan got any help at all, Tipp would have played in the All-Ireland.
“The writing was on the wall for those, the writing was on the wall for Lar. I think Conor O’Mahony was hard done by.”
The price of lamb and beef will rise next month, and the cost of eggs and flowers may too if Victoria's drought continues, according to industry groups.
The warnings came as the National Farmers' Federation called on the Federal Government to take sole charge of emergency drought relief, warning that farmers in the eastern states are "on a knife edge".
NFF president Peter Corish said unless it rained in the next few weeks, both grain and livestock producers in Victoria, NSW and Queensland faced ruin.
"The chances of seeing a successful winter crop, the chances of seeing any sort of real winter pasture growth is going to be very much reduced, if not in fact eliminated," he said.
Mr Corish has called for the Commonwealth to take over Exceptional Circumstances (EC) funding, currently determined by state and federal governments, to speed up assistance.
In the Mallee and northern Wimmera, broadacre farmers who have endured almost nine years of drought were recently granted immediate access to Centrelink under EC funding, after a recommendation from the State Government. But they must wait at least six months for Commonwealth approval.
Cattle Council of Australia president Bill Bray said if the dry weather continued, beef supply would be cut and retail prices would increase in the next month.
"There's been a consistent supply of livestock into the market and that's kept the price in retail outlets consistent," he said. "But if the dry continues, there will be an upward pressure on prices in the retail shops."
The dry weather reduces the supply of grain, making it expensive to feed sheep and cattle, and forces farmers to sell livestock.
Simon Ramsay, president of the state-based industry body Livestock Group, said Victorian farmers were now selling. "You will find that once that supply runs out, demand will outstrip supply and you will see a rise in the price per kilo of mince, rump and mutton," he said.
Victorian Farmers' Federation Grains Group president Ian Hastings said the domestic price of wheat was based on international prices and would not increase because of the drought, unless it became severe. He said farmers were still suffering the effects of the drought last year and were unable to plant crops this month because of limited rainfall.
The Australian Egg Corporation's communications manager, Anthony Fisk, said feed prices had risen in the past month and increased production costs. But greater competition - under market deregulation in Western Australia, the number of egg producers has increased in recent months - has partially offset this rise, and the retail price of eggs has fallen.
United Dairy Farmers of Victoria president Doug Chant said although the cost of producing milk had increased, farmers had no influence over the price at the retail end. "Retailers and supermarkets dictate to the consumer what they pay."
Steve White, president of Flowers Victoria, the representative body for Victorian flower growers, said warm weather in the past few months had increased production, but if the drought continued, flower growers would also have to raise prices.
It isn’t news that McCain consistently takes the wrong side in every major foreign policy debate, but it is striking how committed he always is to the terrible positions that he takes. When the Saudi-led war on Yemen began thirteen months ago, McCain’s main complaint was that the U.S. wasn’t doing enough to help. A normal person might reconsider that position after a year of desultory warfare, indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas, and the starving of an entire country, but not McCain. No matter how destructive a military intervention is, McCain will defend it as long as it is waged by the U.S. or one of our clients, and no matter how shameful and atrocious the war is McCain will conclude that everyone is better off because of it.
It takes a particularly deranged interventionist to believe that Yemen would have been worse off without the Saudi-led intervention, when outside intervention clearly exacerbated every problem Yemen had and added a few ones. It is undeniable that the coalition has done an enormous amount of harm and has only made existing conflicts in Yemen worse and harder to resolve. Yemen was already a poor country with many serious problems, and the Saudi-led intervention turned it into one of the most catastrophic humanitarian crises of this century. Yemen has reached a catastrophic situation in large part because of the Saudis and their allies with U.S. and British help. It is sickening that we have members of Congress willing to defend what the Saudis are doing, but unfortunately it isn’t surprising. As far as John “Thank God for the Saudis” McCain is concerned, it is par for the course.
The Houthis ARE Yemenis, people talk as if they are outside fighters trucked in from Iran. I’m not saying they are angels but at least they are a native faction and they have never been blamed for anything more than the run of the mill crimes.
I’m referring things like unlawful detentions, cracking down on dissent. It’s not like they were burying people alive or burning them in cages.
The Houthis were on the verge of taking control of the entire country after rapidly seizing the capital. In fact, this is why Saudi Arabia intervened. There was no prolonged civil war in the country. Had they consolidated control of the entire country they would have been fighting Al Qaeda / ISIS by now.
There was never any reason to assume that they posed a threat to their neighbors. It certainly merited a wait and see approach rather than an abrupt bombing campaign coupled with a starvation blockade.
McCain has “sold out” to the Military-Industial Complex many years ago. It’s no surprise that he’ll defend any misadventure that profits that crowd.
Like hundreds of others in public life, McCain was never held to account for his bad decisions on Iraq, Libya, or Syria (among many others). He thinks there are no consequences for being wrong about the big stuff.
He really should be ashamed of himself. He makes himself seem stupid, uninformed, and wantonly destructive.
I’m actively ashamed that I voted for the man for Senate in 1998, back when he was all “mavericky”. The last decade of his career has been a complete disgrace.
Just curious, has there ever been a war/bombing campaign that this man was against? Would someone primary him already?!
I really don’t think he is beholden to the MIC though it is a good employer and tax base in AZ. His re-election is on the ropes apparently in AZ.
But he actually believes that American pan-interventionism is a force for good not the force for opening up a can of unintended consequences with disastrous and costly 2nd and 3rd order effects that it has been shown to do for the past 30 years.
Vietnam is actually doing fine these days since the US left. It didn’t require decades of occupation.
How this old man sleeps at night knowing he is behind the decisions made in killing hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq, Syria Libya & Yemen?. All this done just to get him the funds from his think tanks neocons to stay in office. He really should be ashamed of himself!
Echoing jk. On occasion McCain has actually gone after MIC corporations, generally over programs that even by Pentagon standards perform poorly or cost too much. For instance, if I remember correctly he’s been consistently hostile to the Navy’s LCS, on the ground that it costs a lot and doesn’t really do much. (Of course, it probably doesn’t hurt that there aren’t many shipyards in AZ.)
When it comes to the empire, McCain is a true believer. In that way he’s more palatable than the standard MIC grifter, but in practical terms his lousy judgement makes him at least as toxic.
About a decade ago, I came to the conclusion that John McCain just likes killing people, and playing a role in that. It gratifies him to be a part of any process where people wind up dead. The only reason he doesn’t advocate a nuclear attack on Canada, is because people would then realize he’s evil and insane. But I have no doubt that personally, he does favor atomic warfare directed against Canada (or literally any other nation).
I think I would respect him more if he just went with, “Well, they were butthurt about us not bombing Iran, but on the plus side, because of that we had extra bombs just lying around and they were willing to use them on brown people who call God by a different name, so seemed like a match, you know?”
“Sickening” is the appropriate word, from the start – a proxy war in Yemen that the US needs to be involved in? Even more so when its prolonged for no reason, then ends and people ask “for what?”
Yemen would split again before this could happen. We’ve seen it recently in Sudan (with horrible results thanks to an influx of weapons from Libya), remembering that the “South” (East) of Yemen was once a Marxist (Stalinist?) nation, not that they would go back to that.
There’s a picture of George HW Bush hanging on the wall of Yemen’s Military Museum aboard a Yemeni helicopter soon after the fall of PDRY’s patron, the USSR. Yemen was quickly “reunified” and promptly fought a civil war.
The Houthis would have certainly established themselves as a viable political, administrative player with an effective, veteran paramilitary after a long domestic fight that pre-dates the birth of many people reading this. The Houthis were once fighting against government forces under Saleh, now they’re allied with him against Hodi and non-Yemeni, sometimes non-Arab mercenaries hired by the GCC to fight in place of royalty.
Yemen has local issues difficult to triangulate on an international level and, because of ancient history, to regulate authoritatively without resistance.

Susan Sarandon Facing Backlash for Calling Pope a Nazi
Catholic League head Bill Donohue labels the 'Lovely Bones' actress a despicable person for making the remark, while Anti-Defamation League asks her to apologize to the Catholic community.
AceShowbiz - %cSusan Sarandon% is getting herself in hot water with her recent comment about Pope Benedict XVI. The Catholic League and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have slammed the "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" actress for referring to the current head of the Catholic Church as a "Nazi".
Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, told E! News, "She's a despicable person to make these kinds of despicable remarks." Having said that "it is very hard to find someone dumber than [Sarandon]," he additionally explained, "[Pope] deserted the Hitler Youth at the first moment."
"[Sarandon] doesn't know what she's talking about," Donohue continued on. "To blame him for something that he was never responsible for; he was forced to join as every boy his age was. Unlike the others, he deserted." He, however, is not looking for an apology, reasoning that the actress "is ignorant and full of hatred to the Catholic Church."
The ADL, on the other hand, has called on Susan to apologize for her comment. ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman stated, "We hope that Susan Sarandon will have the good sense to apologize to the Catholic community and all those she may have offended with this disturbing, deeply offensive and completely uncalled for attack on the good name of Pope Benedict XVI."
In the statement released on Monday, October 17, Foxman also said, "Ms. Sarandon may have her differences with the Catholic Church, but that is no excuse for throwing around Nazi analogies." He concluded, "Such words are hateful, vindictive and only serve to diminish the true history and meaning of the Holocaust."
Sarandon made her controversial comment during an interview with fellow actor %cBob Balaban% at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York for the Hamptons Film Festival. Per Newsday, the 65-year-old revealed she sent the Pope a copy of the anti death penalty book, "Dead Man Walking". Clarifying that the Pope she mentioned was Pope John Paul II, she said, "The last one, not this Nazi one we have now."

It's likely that the manufacturer offered different models with the same pump on them, but with different HP motors (and outputs).
A pump that's used on a 5HP model may be the same one used on a 7.5HP model, with the 7.5HP model having a slighly larger motor pulley diameter.
A pump used on a 10HP model probably isn't the same one used on a 5HP model.
I will probably be more difficult to find a larger pump pulley, than to find a smaller motor pulley. A motor pulley that's too small could have a tendancy to slip at startup if the belt contact area with the pulley is too small.
The pump manufacturer may provide minimum and maximum pump speed recommendations. Proper lubrication is probably the only vital issue with reducing the pump speed.
Reducing the upper pressure limit cut-out is another option, in conjunction with a slower pump speed. The upper end of the cut-out limit is where the highest power demand is involved. Reducing an original upper limit of 175psi to 150psi, for example.

One more issue is that if the pump does not get hot sometimes, then there could be condensation in oil (water in oil, milky oil).
I certainly wouldn't want to run a splash lube compressor too slow. I pressure lube one shouldn't have a problem at any speed.

I'm running a compressor underpowered but at specified speed.
I bought an old Atlas Copco 3-stage, 400PSI compressor with a 10 HP 3450 RPM motor. I put a 3 HP 3450 RPM motor (previously on a seawater pump) on it. Connected to an 80 gal. 600 PSI-rated Halon tank, I get 150 PSI of air okay. Sluggish starting.
Upgrade: Replaced the 3HP with a 5HP 3450 RPM motor from a large fan. Somewhat better starting.
PROBLEM: Starting torque is okay with either motor in warm weather.
For either motor, at winter temps (say, 20F to 0F or lower) I have to turn a propane salamander on the compressor for maybe 15 minutes in order to start it. Once started, and with medium air use, its own heat keeps it warm enough to restart in the cold.
Bonus question: Anybody have a manual, exploded parts diagram or parts list for an Atlas Copco model "KT 630 A1"? (The company doesn't admit to ever having made this old (50 yrs?) model.) Email me if you do.

Does it have unloaders? If not, perhaps electrically unloading it would help to start it. Then again, gearing it down might also help - particularly if it already has unloaders.
Sketch of an electric unloader:
Compressor out======+======checkvalve====tank===piping to shop=== | | | | Electrically operated valve to air
Set up where the valve is operated by a time delay relay such that the valve is opened for the first 10-15 seconds each time the motor starts.
posted on February 7, 2010, 5:26 am
Yes. The unloader works fine. It's just a very clunky old compressor. Three pistons and crank with cold oil. Probably *should* have a special motor designed for prolonged starting load.
I use it so little in very cold weather that it's not worth the cost of the pulley or the trouble or the reduced pump-up time in warm weather.
The object of the post was to offer a possibly useful data point for the OP who was thinking of gearing down in a similar situation, i.e. that I get by without reducing speed except for extra bother in cold weather.
posted on February 7, 2010, 6:01 am
I am the OP, so that's fine and appreciated. Of course, you're also using a 400 psi compressor at considerably lower pressure, so that probably helps to keep your load down from the original design load. I won't really know until I get to inspect things exactly what I'm looking at, but I would guess they are typical shop air compressors aimed at 150-175 psi, which I probably can turn down to 110-120 for my purposes just fine and gain some that way, but I suspect I'll still need to slow whichever one I get (if any - never can tell with auctions, and I'm not going into a bidding frenzy) down some to run it on a motor I can actually run without ticking off my electric company (rural line, single phase, motor HP limited).
I used to have to throw a blanket over my lathe to keep the heat in and put a lightbulb under it to get it to start in the winter, since it was in an unheated shed. I wonder if there's synthetic compressor oil, and if so, if that would help any.

You will need to cut individual pieces of yarn for your warp. The pieces should all be of exactly the same length. The length for each piece is at least 31 inches. Twenty-four inches will cover the length of both sides of the board. The other seven inches will be used to tie a bow. If you have thicker warp yarn, or your fingers aren't happy tying small bows, you will need to cut lengths that are a bit longer. TEST your fiber, first! Then use that perfect length to correctly measure the others.
Take each length and bring it through a bottom notch on the board. Draw the ends up to the notch exactly opposite and tie a bow there. Make all your bows on the same side. Now, you can weave from the bows end, down the loom to the bottom. Add a few extra rows of weft when you reach the bottom notches--you'll need them to fill the slight gap that will result. Turn the loom over and continue weaving from the bottom, up to the bows, at the top. When you are done, untie the knots and unfold your cloth from the loom. Ease the extra rows of weft into balance.

Cupping Therapy – The Acupuncture Sanctuary
Cupping therapy has been around for millennia all over the world, from Asia to Africa. In China it is common place. In most Eastern European households you'll find a set of cups which are used as the first port of call when colds come through.
A very relaxing part of cupping is when ointment is first applied to the skin and the cups are applied lightly and dragged across the skin. The lift allows the layer between the skin and muscle to free up and glide for fluids and lymph to move.

The Intervention As A Woman by Deborah Waldron Fry | Abiding TV
The Intervention As A Woman by Deborah Waldron Fry
Fear not, Beloved, I shall indeed punish the enemy and then destroy him with the Brightness of My Coming.
Beloved. My Children have been crying out for intervention as a woman who cries out in pain and travails in labor.
The enemy tells you that silence has been My reply. But your prayers are always heard, Beloved. Your cries have mingled with the Roar of the Lord. The Lion of Judah is roaring. Hear the Sound. There are waves and waves of Glory pouring forth across the earth. The demons are running scared. I am breaking every chain!
Take heart, My Child, and do not fear those things coming upon the earth. I am your Deliverer. Your cries have mixed with the Roaring of the Lord and those words spoken in faith are creating a WAVE of GLORY never seen or heard before, like a jet breaking the sound barrier! So come to Me, all who are weary. Come into My chambers. You are hidden in Me, Dear One. I am your Refuge and your Strong Tower. I shall cry, yes ROAR, for the Lion of Judah has prevailed against your enemies. Watch what I shall do in your life. Fear not, Beloved, I shall indeed punish the enemy and then destroy him with the Brightness of My Coming.
...Isaiah 26:17 Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, O Lord.18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
...Isaiah 42:13The Lord shall go forth as a mighty Man, He shall stir up jealousy like a Man of war: He shall cry, yea, ROAR; He shall prevail against His enemies. 14 I have long time held My peace; I have been still, and refrained Myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour (the enemy) at once.
...Isaiah 26:20 Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
......Song of Solomon 1:4 Draw me after You; Let us run.The King has brought me into His chambers.
...2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.

I have heard it time and time again. I will be driving over the Ringling bridge west towards Lido Key with a potential buyer in the car and hear, "Wow, there are some pretty homes over there." They are of course referring to Bird Key homes. They are usually commenting about the grandiose waterfront homes on the east side of Bird Key along Seagull Lane, East Royal Flamingo, Robin Drive and Meadow Lark Drive. The views from these Bird Key homes overlook Marina Jack's, downtown Sarasota skyline and Sarasota Bay. They are some of the nice waters views that you can find in Sarasota, Florida. The bay front Bird Key homes one the west side include those along Mourning Dove Drive, South Spoonbill Drive, West Royal Flamingo, Bird Key Drive, South & North Warbler Lane and Seagull Lane. These also have amazing water views. The bayfront homes to the west have stunning sunset views over the Sarasota Bay looking towards Lido Key and St. Armands Key. On the south end of the island the bay homes along South Spoonbill Drive and Mourning Dove Drive have amazing water views overlooking the north end of Siesta Key, south end of Lido Key and Big Pass. I challenge anyone to find a Bird Key home on the bay with a bad view
Bird Key real estate is blessed with wide deep canals that make it easy for boaters to navigate. There are no bridges to worry about so large yachts and sailboats are welcome. The Sarasota Bay and Gulf of Mexico are within a very short boat ride. The water views behind the canal Bird Key homes are pleasant. It is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee as well as a tasty dinner and drink with your family. Imagine jumping on the boat behind your house for a day on the water or a late day cruise to catch the magnificent sunsets.

Glorification of Nazism on 70th Anniversary of WW2 'Abhorrent' - Sputnik International
16:26 16.03.2015 (updated 17:22 16.03.2015) Get short URL

A Czech MP condemns as 'abhorrent' any form of Nazi glorification and calls on people everywhere to show respect for those who sacrificed their lives fighting this deadly scourge.
Pavel Kováčik, a Communist member of the Czech parliament, believes that the EU must face up to the growing neo-Nazi sentiment and glorification of the regime, which killed millions in its insatiable lust for world dominion.
The call rings particularly relevant in the walkup to the 70th anniversary of the Allied Victory over Nazi Germany.
The annual procession commemorating the Latvian Waffen-SS (Schutzstaffel) unit, also known as the Legionnaires, in Riga March 16, 2015.
"The European Union must respond in a most decisive manner to pro-Nazi activities, especially now that we are going to mark seventy years since the end of WW2. We must never forget those who fell fighting Nazism and those who survived in that fight and still bear painful memories of the atrocities committed by the Nazis," Pavel Kováčik told Sputnik Czech edition.
The annual procession commemorating the Latvian Waffen-SS (Schutzstaffel) unit
Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 people took part in the annual march of Waffen SS veterans that was held in the Latvian capital of Riga on Monday. Also on Monday, several anti-fascist organizations staged a counter-demonstration in Riga.
The commemoration, held annually since 1998, takes place March 16.

In the summer, the face requires careful and careful care. The skin needs to be protected from the sun, thoroughly moistened and cleansed. Revise the cosmetic bag, leaving only the means suitable for summer make-up, and to industrial creams and tonics add proven home remedies.
Choose means for skin cleansing. In summer it is better to use non-fat formulas – for example, light milk and a refreshing foam with plant extracts. Remove makeup can and special napkins, soaked lotion. This option is especially convenient on the road. Wash your face in the morning and evening, and after rubbing the skin with a refreshing tonic or infusion of herbs – chamomile, sage or mint.
Moisten the skin in the morning and evening. Instead of heavy nutritious creams, use quickly absorbed emulsions, gels or serums. Low-fat products do not create a film on the face, allowing the skin to breathe freely. To the face does not swell, apply moisturizers for half an hour before bedtime. For eyelids choose means with the effect of lifting.
Protect your face from the sun. Choose creams with a high index of protection against ultraviolet rays. Ideally, a day cream, foundation and powder should have sunscreen filters. Going to the beach, put on your face and neck stronger means with an index of at least 30 SPF. Renew the cream or gel every few hours.

Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, has received almost more publicity from his public letter yesterday about digital rights management (DRM) than his iPhone escapade in January. My assumption, per my earlier post on Microsoft’s hellish DRM on Vista, is that this is both a smart PR move against Microsoft and a legal and ethical push from a “consumer-centric” company for open music formats.
I’m a proponent of open systems and open sources and, although I don’t believe in taking intellectual property that an artist, writer, or engineer does not want to be taken, DRM systems always struck me as plain dumb. The big music companies spend a lot of time huffing and puffing about stolen music but they produce music CDs which essentially allow the distribution of that same music. Jobs gets it right:

Addressing Lowest Logical Airfare: Companies increasingly have introduced language instructing employees to find the lowest fare possible, regardless of whether or not a flight is with a preferred supplier. The reality of this practice is that the individual trip savings by booking cheaper fares with non-preferred airlines can jeopardise negotiated rates, unintentionally driving up overall travel costs over time. Guidelines should be established indicating when this practice should be used. Recent capacity constraints, merger and acquisition activity, and even low-cost carrier dynamics require that travel managers revisit this concept and communicate it appropriately in policy.
Brough continued: “As today’s global marketplace is constantly changing, and the logistics of capitalising on growth in emerging markets make travel more complex than ever before, it is not enough to just develop a travel policy and assume that employees know what to do with it. Companies should be actively leveraging and communicating their travel policy to employees and enlisting influencers within the company such as Human Resources, Security and Legal to support these efforts.”

I've seen others that refer to "Public buildings" or "Public areas" of airports. That'd be a gray area at best in many small airports.

I'm a private pilot also, flying out of 20N in NY, and CCW if fine there... (don't ask... don't tell). There is usually no screening at these smaller and regional airports. I know that if I fly to a larger airport, there will be security checks. I just generally stay away from the big airports. There's always a small one near where I'm going.
It seems to me, that if you are allowed to carry, per state law, and there is no TSA or federal involvment at the smaller airport, then it's probably ok to CCW at the field. I cannot advise you, however, on travelling across state lines, in a private plane. If it's a commercial, paid-for flight, then it's off-limits to CCW.

Posts 116 You cannot attempt to board a commercial flight while armed, and that attempt starts when you go through a screening device. Until then, it is just another place. Everywhere I have been since 9/11 has GA and commercial well separated, but there might be somewhere that allows a GA pilot to walk past screening on the way out, requiring them to get screened on the way back. In that case, I am not sure what to do. Call ahead if you have no clue, as I do.

I'm a pilot and also am manager of a smaller airport in Colorado.
Perimeter security at our airport consists of a 3 wire barbed wire fence.
Administration building security consists of locks on outside doors (for when we go home at night).
There is NO signage restricting firearms. Be aware that in Colorado, open carry is OK although seldom used.
Our traffic consists of a mixture of private, corporate and military aircraft.
My staff and myself are usually armed since we work shifts mostly alone and are several miles from help if needed. (concealed of course).
Wildlife seems to be more of a threat than humans so far. Be careful when debarking your aircraft because there are rattlesnakes around in the summer months plus an occasional bear.
Had a civilian jet strike a coyote on takeoff a few months ago which resulted in a bloody Citation jet and a neatly beheaded coyote.
As airport manager, I get to make the rules and rule #1 here is, "Don't ask, don't tell".

Posts 233 I'm a corporate pilot out of Tulsa. When passengers come to our airplane, there's no metal detectors or TSA screening. Although they do get checked against the No-Fly list. But other than that not much. Outside of the TSA secure area at the main terminal and red zones, the firearm regs are up to the businesses. We've got the usual "must be locked" etc, etc. But generally it's more of a don't ask, don't tell issue with us pilots. There are many different levels of security depending on airports, money, who runs it (city, county, state, etc.) and a million other factors. But for the small private strips, the security usually falls to the aircraft owner and that's as good or bad as that person wants it. Of course when even the smallest Piper Cub runs over 30 grand, you can safely bet the security will be better.

Posts 864 You should be fine carrying. As long as the state that I am flying to reconizes my GFL, I carry anywhere. I never have to pass through any TSA secured areas - this is what matters. The ramp area for general aviation aircraft is usually isolated by a security boundry from the commercial. No carrying for pilots that fly for hire. See AOPA at AOPA Online: in their forums and search flying with guns. The members are about 50/50 for and against carrying - but you will be able to read all the regs.

The Philippine government has asked the Supreme Court to lift the temporary restraining order (TRO) on the controversial Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, and junk 15 petitions contesting the law.
According to GMA News Online on Monday, the government, through the country's Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), argue the issuance of the temporary restraining order on the implementation of cybercrime law "should not be made to rest merely on purely legal arguments, without evidence being introduced, for or against the validity of a challenged statute".
The law only "regulates and penalizes" acts defined as cybercrime such as hacking, and does not prevent petitioners from using the Internet and expressing their thoughts, while the law does not necessarily regulate or punish free speech, it also said.
The Philippines' Cybercrime Prevention Act had been suspended for 120 days following restraining order against it by the Supreme Court in October. The law had come under fire for its vague definition of online libel, violation of personal rights and tough legal penalties for Internet defamation .
Petitioners also cannot raise objections on the law allowing access to traffic data, since these data are logged, stored and kept by service providers and are considered as their business records, the government noted.
The government also noted real-time collection of traffic data without any warrant does not infringe on a person's right to privacy, as it is the same as collecting information from visual surveillance of an open physical space. As such, it does not intrude on the "private" space of individuals and its retrieval does not call for the constitutional requirement of a warrant, they explained.
"Traffic data" in the Cybercrime Law also refers to "non-content" data consisting of its origin, destination, route, time and data of the communication. Unlike content data, considered private traffic data, it is an "auxiliary to the communication and is necessarily shared with a service provider who is a third party."
The government further described the criticisms against the "libel" clause within the Cybercrime Law as "untenable", because libel is already considered a crime punishable under a separate Article 353 in relation to Article 355 of the country's Revised Penal Code.
It also added the term "information and communication technology" as used in the cybercrime law is not vague, as claimed by the petitioners, but the full text of "information technology" and has been in use since the 1980s.
On petitioners' previous argument that the law violates a person's right against being sued and penalized for the same offense, the government noted "It is not a constitutional prohibition against laws that may present possible prosecution for an offense penalized under other laws or statues."

ZESA company secretary and legal adviser Judith Tsamba on Monday said many parastatals are receiving and implementing illegal ministerial directives.
Tsamba made the comments at the Harare Magistrates’ Court under cross-examination in the ongoing trial of former Minister of Energy and Power Development Elton Mangoma on allegations of criminally abusing his office as a public official.
Mangoma is alleged to have directed the cancelling of a Zesa electronic voucher reselling tender and ordered that it be awarded to OK Zimbabwe without going to tender. He denies the charges.
“Many ministers are in the habit of giving verbal directives and they are implemented because we have no choice,” Tsamba said.
She had earlier told regional magistrate Hosiah Mujaya that: “I indicated that the instruction (from Mangoma) was unlawful. He was our minister and shareholder and there was nothing we could do.”
Tsamba, however, under intense cross-examination by defence counsel Beatrice Mtetwa admitted that the management had also erred by not following the legal provisions in implementing the directive.
Mtetwa asked Tsamba why she had not advised Julian Chinemembiri, the accounting officer, to write a letter to the minister stating his disapproval of the directive as directed by the Public Finance Management Act.
She further conceded that she was not well versed with the Procurement Act in relation to how tenders should be advertised.
“I have scant details,” she conceded after Mtetwa pressed that it could be concluded that she knew nothing.
As temperatures rose, Tsamba responded to the defence counsel with a string of simple “I was not aware,” and “I don’t know” answers.
Tsamba finally remained dumb after she was asked why they renewed the OK contract a record five times even after Mangoma was no longer the minister.
She had also conceded that all the correspondence available on the project did not mention that the minister had given a directive about the tender.
The fourth State witness, OK Zimbabwe information technology projects manager Willie Mapundu, told the court that Mangoma did not use his influence for OK to become the pilot project partnership.
“We had earlier inquired if we could do electricity vending. We had the required infrastructure and technical capacity for the project. I don’t recall the minister’s name being said in any of the meetings I attended,” Mapundu told the court.
“At no time were we told that OK were the sole partners in the pilot project nor were we promised that participating in the pilot project would give us an advantage if the project was finally tendered.”
Meanwhile, Mujaya earlier fined Tsamba $15 for contempt of court after she did not turn up in court last week to testify. She had allegedly gone to Botswana with Cabinet authority.
“Mujaya earlier fined Tsamba $15 for contempt of court after she did not turn up in court last week to testify.”
the reason why we are failing is because the parastal are employing incompetent people. TSAmba must be fired because she is ignorant about her duty.How can she fail to know her legal duty if she is a lawyer. Mangoma is not a lawyer.maybe he did not know that legally he can not give directives.The one who need to be punished is tsamba because she do not know lawyer yet she is a lawyer and employed as alawyer.she was suppose to advice the minister. please stop wasting our tax money because of silly issues.

Crosby is in demand - Chronicle Live
Crosby is in demand
A new residential development in Gosforth has received unprecedented demand from interested buyers.
Crosby Homes is releasing homes for sale ahead of schedule as the waiting list grows for the next stages at Grove Park.
Within days of launching the first phase of 56 homes in August this year, Crosby reported a 75pc sold from plan. It has since released 95 apartments, of which 40 are already reserved and a waiting list is also in place for the final stage of more exclusive semi-detached and detached homes.
The transformation of nine acres of land between St Nicholas Avenue and The Grove is now well on the way to delivering 184 individual and extremely well appointed homes. The Avenue and The Crescent, which form the first phase of 29 spacious three- and four-bedroom townhouses and 18 luxury two- bedroom apartments, are due to be completed by March 2004. Just nine townhouses and six apartments now remain. For further details, tel (0191) 284-9888 or log on to www.grovepark gosforth.co.uk

Calgary Real Estate Board chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie said the four per cent drop in assessed residential value is consistent with market conditions.
Lurie said Calgary’s continued high unemployment and the new mortgage stress test have helped drive prices down for single-detached homes in particular.
“The challenge is also where the job growth has been — it hasn’t been in the traditionally higher-paid sectors, so that has impacted the ability for prices to grow as well, especially on the detached side,” said Lurie. “So we’ve seen prices fall there just because there hasn’t been a lot of demand, there still has been supply and that weighs on pricing.”
“Homes priced below $500,000, they’re doing better, so we’re seeing that the sales activity is actually improving in those markets,” said Lurie. “The challenge still really remains in the higher end of the market, where we’re still seeing supply gains and we’re not seeing as much demand growth, and sales activity continues to fall a bit in those areas.”
After taking a hit in recent years, the city’s non-residential properties saw a modest increase in value, including in Calgary’s beleaguered office sector, which had seen huge losses in value as a result of the economic downturn and high vacancy rates.
The typical non-residential property saw a market value increase of two per cent, Karpa said, primarily driven by strength in the retail sector. Office properties across the city increased in value by roughly one per cent.
Karpa said it’s still too early to tell if the worst is behind the city when it comes to empty spaces in downtown office towers.
“I’m not so sure I’d be prepared to call it quite yet,” said Karpa. “We have seen renewed interest by investors in those office properties. Again, a little too early to tell what we’ll see coming forward for (2021). Early indications seems to be relatively positive, but we’ll wait and see.”
Overall, the total value of the city’s assessment roll, including business and residential properties, is about $301 billion — a decrease in value of about $5 billion from the previous year.
Calgarians have until March 10 to review their assessment notices and approach the city with any questions, either online at calgary.ca/assessment or by calling 403-268-2888.
There were a total of 3,171 complaints filed with the assessment review board based on last year’s assessments. Nearly two-thirds of those were for valuations on commercial properties.
Less than one per cent of property owners in the city filed a complaint about their assessments in 2019.
A visit to the local super was just like any outing a pleasant activity for us. Armed together with our shopping bags to the village. Usually before a "garoto" at the bar in the supermarket, or on the terrace at our friends at New Era. Usually the latter is a less good option if we have more on the agenda that day. It has happened several times that this "cup of coffee" turned into a complete afternoon program with friends and acquaintances who also passed by and queuing. On such a day it is wonderful and you feel the freedom splashing off. When the afternoon is over and lunch gives way to toasts with wine, we just must not forget to get the groceries.
At the moment, grocery shopping looks slightly different. The coffee bar is closed anyway, there is usually a queue of around 6-8 people in front of us and we put on our gloves neatly. Some people wear mouth masks and all are properly spaced. The supermarket manager welcomes everyone personally and takes another trolley into the store in turn. But not before the hands are disinfected and also the handle of the shopping cart. In Madeira it is all very orderly and neat. We notice that everyone adheres well to the "Covid-19 rules". This certainly contributes to the fact that there are still so few infections here.
Once in the store, we see that everything is just there. Something not always the case on this island, but it is remarkably well supplied. And that for more than 6 weeks now since Madeira was closed to the outside world. Apparently they are working extra hard to be able to offer everything. Despite the stricter work regulations, the store employees are also very friendly and helpful as always. For us, only the shopping list changes a little bit, we cook more at home and experiment more in our house. A wide range of recipes has already been added to the list of "guestproof recipes" for later. So much fun to do. The most delicious soups, banana carrot cake, fresh focaccia, apple crumble muffins and various oriental dishes. When we leave the till and drive home it is nice to be there again. It is a strange world with all those mouth caps and therefore (even) less intelligible words.

Don't Delay a Formal Business Structure | Boise, Idaho Business Attorneys - Law & Legal Blog | Lerma Grover Law - Boise, Meridian
A small business can be structured in a variety of ways. The most common entities are sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and corporations. A properly structured LLC or corporation can provide a liability "shield." This means that the individual owner may be shielded from the debts or liabilities incurred by the operating business (and vice versa). Both the individual and the business entity will typically remain obligated for their respective debts/liabilities. Although liability protection is not absolute, it can be useful and valuable—there is a reason that most successful businesses are structured as some sort of limited liability entity.
Some new business owners want to wait and see whether the business "takes off" before they consider a formal business organization. Unfortunately, this approach has potential downsides: (i) the business may be impaired by a subsequently incurred personal liability; (ii) if the business succeeds, the legal structure, property ownership and contracts may need to be modified at a later date; and (iii) if the business struggles, the individual owner will often wish that the limited liability protection was in place so as to protect personal and family assets.
Many small business owners are unsure as to the legal structure of their business. We frequently hear the following: "The bank told me to file something with the Secretary of State – so I think I'm incorporated." But this is often incorrect. Banks may only require the registration of a business name—which usually means you are operating as a sole proprietorship or partnership. And no one wants to find out that they do not have liability protection until after a lawsuit is filed.
Every business owner hopes to retire some day. But many fail to have an exit strategy when the time comes. Running a business does not have to be 'till death do us part.' You should start your exit planning on day one. The type of business you run and the corporate structure will help dictate how you can transition the business to someone else, whether your successor or an outside purchaser.
Forming an LLC or a corporation is an upfront expense. But it is an investment that should not be delayed.
Contact Lerma Grover Law if you are starting a business, if you want to modify your current business structure, or if you have questions about the legal status for your existing business.

War begins to tackle the chicken shop obesity crisis | Eastlondonlines
by Cheolan Jeong/ January 18, 2019/ Health, Lead Stories, Tower Hamlets/ No Comments/
A Tower Hamlets GP has suggested installing fruit and vegetable stands outside underground stations across London to help battle the country's obesity crisis.
Sir Sam Everington, who was knighted in 2015 for his services to primary care, has declared "war on chicken shops". He believes that these take-away chains are appealing to children and largely to blame for the nation's health decline. According to City Hall figures, nearly 40 per cent of London's children aged between 10 and 11 are overweight or obese, and adults have higher obesity rates than Paris, New York and Sydney.

Sir Sam is chair of NHS Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group. He has proposed mini greengrocers outside of the 270 Underground entrances. He said: "the stalls would play a crucial role in addressing this issue, by giving children a chance to buy nutritious food". The Healthy London Partnership, and NHS programme have backed Sir Everington's plan.

At a meeting with the Tower Hamlets health and well-being board, the east London GP added: "There needs to be a cheap, healthy alternative available at a time when people are most vulnerable to picking up something to eat"
Adverts for junk food in London are set to be banned from stations and bus stops next month, as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's plan to tackle childhood obesity.

Echo Tours College Ski Trips – Nothing But Champagne Powder
Nothing But Champagne Powder
Steamboat is the single most popular college destination in the world. Due to the great value, excellent accommodations, consistently great snow, and hot nightlife, Steamboat continues to be number one for college groups year after year.
The atmosphere in Steamboat is perfect for the large number of college students that invade the mountain every December and January. Steamboat is well known as the ski area with the cowboy atmosphere. The friendliness of the people is one of Steamboat's best selling points and certainly is a noticeable difference from other areas. Any vacation is naturally more enjoyable where people treat you like people.
During the two weeks before Christmas and after New Year's, Steamboat becomes the hottest vacation spot for college students from all over the country. As more and more students show up each year, it just continues to grow in popularity.
Steamboat's Mt. Werner is the second longest vertical drop in Colorado and boasts of having the most fabulous champagne powder anywhere. Almost 3000 acres of skiable terrain provide a wide variety of runs, some as long as 2 1/2 miles. Snowmaking covers 160 acres of trails giving Steamboat the necessary back up if Mother Nature does not come through like she usually does.
Steamboat is well known for being number one in early season snow. The December snow levels over the last several years have repeatedly been some of the best insuring a great ski experience for any December or January ski trip.

30% say that their organization has added new network/cloud-based hosts, applications, and users, making it difficult for the cybersecurity team to keep up with the scale of the infrastructure. This is a classic case of an expanding attack surface and since just about every organization is moving workloads to the public cloud, embracing SaaS applications, and deploying IoT devices, attack surface growth will continue unabated.
30% say there are one or several "blind spots" on their networks--the old "you can't manage what you can't measure" issue with a cybersecurity twist.
24% say that their organization doesn't have the tools and processes to operationalize threat intelligence, making it difficult to compare on-premises security incidents with what's happening "in the wild." Without current knowledge about cyber-adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), organizations can't really know who is attacking them, how these attacks are conducted, and why they are targets. Think of this as addressing the cybersecurity symptoms and not the disease.
CISOs should heed Bruce's advice and assess the current state of the organization's threat detection and response processes. The data reveals that many of these processes are manual, which is certainly a problem. Beyond this, however, are these processes formalized and documented? Do they follow best practice guidelines (ex., the NIST guidelines for incident handling). Are there runbooks associated with these processes? Are their ongoing efforts to automate well-established processes?

South-east Queensland storm leaves homes without power; Boy treated for electric shock
AU EDITION | Wednesday, February 20, 2019 As of 2:04 AM AEST
By Dan Perez on February 12 2018 3:38 PM
Storm clouds can be seen above a coal ship as it sails near Lady Elliot Island located north-east of the town of Bundaberg in Queensland, Australia, June 9, 2015. Reuters/David Gray
Storms lashed out on South-east Queensland on Sunday night, leaving havoc on the power network. A Brisbane boy was brought to the hospital after he suffered an electric shock during the destructive winds, which have left thousands of properties without power.
The Queensland Ambulance Service said that the boy suffered injuries as a result of taking a shower during the current electrical storm lightning strike. He was brought to a hospital in stable condition, with his injuries not considered life-threatening.
Nine News reports that a total of 135,000 households and businesses were left without power overnight. Energex workers were restoring power in Brisbane, Redland, Logan, Scenic Rim and Gold Coast.
"There was enormous damage – we had over 400 wires on the ground," Energy Queensland chief executive Paul Jordan told the network.
The wild weather generated over 265,000 lightning strikes. Over 500 power lines were reportedly brought down. Kingston, Beenleigh, Creastmead and Jimboomba have seen the worst damage.
Over 40,000 properties in Logan City, south of Brisbane, were still without electricity on early Monday. The count almost reached 7,000 in Brisbane and about 2,300 in Redland City.
Some residents can expect long waits for their lights to come back. Power officials said it could be as late as Tuesday afternoon or evening (local time) in some areas. To ensure safety, Energex warned those from storm-affected locations to stay away from any fallen lines.
Storm-related issues forced at least one school to suspend classes. Crestmead State School was closed on Monday, The Guardian reports. It was expected that other schools will be closed on the same day as repair crews work to reconnect power.
Delays to train services on Beenleigh and the Gold Coast lines were also felt. The condition eventually returned to normal. Meanwhile in Brisbane, fans of US band Paramore had to evacuate Brisbane's Riverstage venue prior to the show.
Residents in South-east Queenslander can expect another round of storms on Monday. Forecasters have warned that nearly identical conditions could spawn more gusty thunderstorms across the south-east, which can also affect Brisbane and the Gold and the sunshine coasts.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, "only saving grace" was the refreshing sea breeze for residents near the coast. Otherwise, temperatures in several parts of the state were expected to be eight to nine degrees above average.
BoM meteorologist Lauren Pattie said that an air mass was forecast to linger over Queensland. Humidity is expected to heap on.

Replacing methane with carbon dioxide in gas hydrates has been suggested as a way of harvesting methane, while at the same time storing carbon dioxide. Experimental evidence suggests that this process is facilitated if gas mixtures are used instead of pure carbon dioxide. We studied the free energy barriers for diffusion of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen in the sI hydrate structure using molecular simulation techniques. Cage hops between neighboring cages were considered with and without a water vacancy and with a potential inclusion of an additional gas molecule in either the initial or final cage. Our results give little evidence for enhanced methane and carbon dioxide diffusion if nitrogen is present as well. However, the inclusion of hydrogen seems to have a substantial effect as it diffuses rapidly and can easily enter occupied cages, which reduces the barriers of diffusion for the gas molecules that co-occupy a cage with hydrogen.

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is one of the 20 members of the SKA Science Data Processing Consortium, responsible for designing the hardware and software to analyse, process and visualise the data produced by the SKA. The data from the Australian component of the SKA is under consideration to be processed and stored primarily at the Pawsey Centre. The data produced will be too large to store for any reasonable period of time, and so the data must be managed in real-time, necessitating immense processing power (see Big Data needs networks, page 14).
Two precursor projects to the SKA, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and the Murchison Wide-field Array (MWA) were launched in late 2012 and serve as important technological demonstrators. The MWA telescope has been in full operation since 2013, and data from the first antennae of the ASKAP project are already being processed by the real-time Cray supercomputer at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.
The workloads of Australia’s petascale systems are perhaps atypical of facilities elsewhere, in that they need to marry computational capability with data-intensive capacity, and handle the requirements of merit-based access for university researchers with the R&D and service requirements of national agencies. The relative lack of tier 2 systems in Australia imposes workloads on the tier 1 systems that otherwise would be handled in alternative ways. Accordingly, the tier 1 facilities serve the gamut of research — pure, strategic, applied, and industry – providing the platform from which Australian researchers maintain international competitiveness, and the science agencies undertake research that delivers national benefits.
There also are significant legacy workloads – applications no longer of supercomputer class, and accordingly, there is a need to migrate lowly-scaling tasks onto a more suitable platform, in order to increase the effectiveness of the use of the system, and provide greater opportunities for researchers through access to more advanced tools and methods, better suited to a supercomputer. From a system point of view, the cloud now provides a significant opportunity. It is also possible that ultimately the cloud may present a threat, but for as long as tier 1 HPC facilities are valued and serving as crucial platforms for research collaboration, the threat is some distance away.

In addition to our weekly classes and seasonal workshops in Oxford, we travel most years to Barcelona to train intensively for an Autumn weekend with Shifu Pablo Salas (Wudang Tao Barcelona/Wudang Tao Catalunya ). We train in the hills above the city, often accompanied by wild boar who visit us while we train! In these workshops, we benefit from Pablo’s joint lineage in San Feng Pai and Xuanwu Pai, and learn forms from our sister tradition. Pablo also visits us in Oxford most years to provide workshops here. Shifu Lucia Ring Watkins from Wudang Pai UK also has visited us in Oxford to lead workshops.
Shifu Jeff Reid from Wudang Wudao used to train us intensively when he was based in London. Now in Santa Cruz, California, he still visits us yearly to continue his tuition via workshops in Oxford.
Finally Master Bing, our Master in Wudang itself has been able to teach many of our students via online classes and workshops, with some of our students beginning his teacher training programme. We hope to travel to Wudang to train with him in person via an unforgettable 2 week trip, with those students who go having prepared their mind and body through dedicated training in the UK, to manage the rigorous training demands of taiji, gong fu and meditation training on the mountain itself. We hope to welcome Master Bing to Oxford at a future point, so all students can benefit from his experience and warm teaching.

"I have six classes in the university."
Translation:Yo tengo seis clases en la universidad.
NO JOKE: Duolingo told me I missed a word: "tengo seis 2 clases en la universidad." What the heck is the "2" doing in there? Must be a temporary glitch
Just got this too. Report it.
Somebody left a typo...
Peggy55888
I got the same thing... reported it.
I just came on here to see if anybody else noticed that
Me too.. Guess it wasn't just me.
Yeah it's a typo, reported too but it's still here after a week...
Me too - and I lost a heart while trying to test out of it. I'll report the extraaneous "2" also.
yep the "2" problem is still here peeps :)
Jonel118072
Me too. I also reported. Lost a lingo for an error in testing out.
As a credentialed teacher, it's best practice to have students reïnforce learning by having students spell out the words for numbers instead of using a numeral... using a numeral activates a different part of the brain. Make peace with that and you'll be fine... there is method to the 'madness'
Korinette1
The "yo" isn't necessary
Spanish lets you drop plenty of words:
Yo necesito agua - > necesito agua
Tu necesitas agua - > necesitas agua
Ella/El/ necesita agua - > necesita agua
Same pattern for most things, once you learn the conjugations.
RonSchings
I omitted the yo and it was not accepted
If the person in an audio clip says "yo" then you have to type it, but you never have to type if if you are translating an english sentence (and I never do).
Yo is not necessary in this sentence.
Yo, in this sentence is unnecessary, because in spanish when the subject is obvious it is not necessary to write it.
You should drop one. Six is far too many!
It's not clear to me why there is 'in the university' here. Of course, this is not a question of Spanish, but still, in another task 'at the university' was required ...
Grapesquasher
why is it wrong if I omit "yo." Surely "tengo" is enough
Ashwikapedia
why is the 2 still there?
AlayShah6
'Seis' is an adjective modifying clases. Why does it appear before clases? when in Spanish adjectives appear after the noun.
No, "seis" is a quantity, that's why it goes before "clases".
LenayaYgle
I put yo tengo seis clases al universidad and it was wrong. can someone explain this to me???
Universidad is feminine. Tengo seis clases en la universidad. I believe Tengo seis clases a la universidad is also correct.
the difference between tene and tengo?
Tener - to have Tengo - I have Tiene - he/she/it has
''Tengo seis clases en la universidad'' is correct as well. Duolingo marks it incorrect, suggesting ''Tengo seis 2 clases en la universidad''. Please fix.
Reported that "2" was inserted incorrectly in the "correct" answer.
Does Duolingo actually read these discussions, and how do you report an error?
Duolingo does not read every single comment, only some. However, the creators will read any reported problems. To report, just click the "Report" button next to the "Discuss" button. Both are under the "Correct/Incorrect" sign after it is corrected. (At least, on a computer.)
En español no es necesario decir yo antes de una oración por que las palabras ya dan a entender que es primera persona.
FrankBradlPlus
the "2" is still there 7/18
Looks like I hit that glitch also. I hope it gets fixed
zzz115486
Some of the questions need reviews. I put the correct answer the computer said it was wrong.
WTF! Please remove '2'.
kdrpPlus
"tengo seis 2 clases en la universidad." Please edit.
tengo seis clases en la universidad. I have reported the erroneous 2 on '2' counts! ;-) 1: My answer should be accepted, and 2: The "Correct solution" is unnatural or has an error. Reported on 23.08.18
Why can't I omit the Yo and just use the proper verb form?
You can. Yo is optional.
angusdff
why is the answer, "Yo tengo seis cátedras en la universidad." not "Yo tengo seis clases en la universidad." It says here it should be "clases" but i just got it wrong and it said it should be "cátedras"
eerin_
does anyone know what "de" means? if so, can you give an example of a sentence with it? thanks :) -2/18/20
You can think of the "de" as an "-'s" of Spanish. It can literally translate to "of", as in this example-
"Juan's house." is, in Spanish, "La casa de Juan." or literally "The house of Juan."
HanifahLab
La universidad? Why la?
Because 'la' = 'the', 'universidad' is feminine.

Roseanne Barr Set for Show on Bad Moms | TVWeek
Roseanne Barr Set for Show on Bad Moms Apr 3, 2014
Comedian Roseanne Barr has been lined up for a new series on bad moms. The New York Post reports that Barr will host Investigation Discovery's "Momsters: When Moms Go Bad."
"The show spotlights stories of mothers who will do anything in order for their children to succeed — from the soccer mom who stalks, threatens and attacks her son's coach to the theater mom who takes auditions into her own hands," the piece reports.
Tabloid stories such as the "Texas Cheerleader" mom, who tried to hire a hitman to kill the mother of a cheerleading rival of her daughter's, will be retold, with Barr providing commentary. The show is expected to debut later this year.
"I like to correct people when I don't think they're doing good mother things in public," Barr told the newspaper. She said she had admonished a woman this week for allowing her child to be outside in bare feet in 40-degree weather. "It's weird what people do and how everyone ignores it. So this [show] is like, let's not ignore this for a while."

Introduction Attempts to evaluate the effects of uremia on the nervous system must separate those aspects secondary to the uremia from those attributable to the underlying disorder. Many diseases which affect the kidneys also directly affect the nervous system. In an attempt to distinguish the effects of uremia on the nervous system, a series of patients with acute uremia was studied. Cases of lupus erythematosus, sclerodema, polyarteritis nodosa, multiple myeloma, polycystic disease, and severe hypertension with renal involvement were excluded from consideration. Included in the category of acute renal failure were all cases in which there was no evidence of renal disease antedating the present illness and in which an acute insult could be postulated.Thirteen consecutive patients with acute anuria were seen in neurological consultation after admission to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. They were examined daily until discharged or until death. Specific attention was directed to the mental

Obituary: Camille Jensen, 95, former New Canaan resident - New Canaan Advertiser
https://www.ncadvertiser.com/past_obituaries/article/Obituary-Camille-Jensen-95-former-New-Canaan-14037807.php
Obituary: Camille Jensen, 95, former New Canaan resident
Published 3:19 pm EST, Monday, December 22, 2014
Camille McLean Anderson Jensen, a former New Canaan resident, died Thursday, Dec. 18, of natural causes at her home in Darien. She was 95.
Born on Dec. 14, 1919, in Holly Springs, Miss., she was the daughter of Percy Harmon and Camille McLean Anderson. Her family later moved to Memphis, Tenn., where Mrs. Jensen attended Miss Hutchison's School, graduating in the Class of 1937. She went on to Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va., graduating in 1941. She was Maid of Cotton at the 1942 Memphis Cotton Carnival and in 1948 she married Frode Jensen, a physician and then-associate dean of the University of Colorado Medical School and settled in Denver, Colorado.
In 1950, she moved to Riverdale, N.Y., where she raised her family. She served on the boards of the Parent Teachers Association at the Riverdale Country School, the Girl Scouts Association of Greater New York and the Riverdale Yacht Club and was a founding member of the Board of Directors of Wave Hill in Riverdale. She was a deacon at the Riverdale Presbyterian Church and a member of the Shakespeare Club and the Cosmopolitan Club in New York City. On weekends she and Frode enjoyed their country home at the Gipsy Trail Club in Carmel, N.Y.
After her husband's death in 1973, Mrs. Jensen enjoyed a successful career as a Realtor in Riverdale with Robert E. Hill, Inc. In 1987, she moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where she lived for 25 years and was a longtime member of the Darien Community Association and the Country Club of New Canaan.
"Admired for her infectious laugh and vivacious manner, Camille loved her family and many friends," her family said. She enjoyed reading and traveling the world and going to the theater. In her younger days she golfed and fished and shot with her husband, but her experimentation with skiing was short-lived. Thinking back recently, she said proudly, 'I was an original snow bunny.'"
Mrs. Jensen was predeceased by her husband, Frode. She is survived by her son, Frode (Skip) and his wife Kitty of Park City, Utah, and their three children, Christian McLean, Catherine Spotswood Hall and Henry Carter Jensen; her daughter, Camille (Cissie) Douglas of Manhattan and her two sons, Matthew St. John Douglas and Alexander Jensen Douglas; and her son Peter of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
Funeral services will be private. Mrs. Jensen will be interred in the Hamilton College Cemetery, Clinton, N.Y., where a memorial service next spring will be held.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Frode and Camille Jensen Scholarship Fund, Hamilton College, 198 College Hill Road, Clinton, NY 13323.

I haven't in contrast it to a GeForce card so I can't really say that it does better, but it does do a nice job. I chose this specific card because it is fan-less. 1 less enthusiast means lower noise, a common concern with HTPC's. But, not getting a fan arrives at a price.

In biblical context, this verse from Proverbs seems like an exhortation, a command to silence people we don’t want in our community. But the rabbis radically reread the verse, flipping the subject so it’s not a praise-hungry person they are seeking to silence, but a student too ashamed to learn that they want to empower. The verse then becomes an invitation to expose one’s vulnerability in Torah study and not be silenced by shame.
The root of the word for foolish here is N-V-L (נבל) which is related to the word neveilah (נבלה), the term for an animal carcass that was considered impure and forbidden from being brought into the temple. The neveilah’s place was outside the boundaries of the holy. But the vulnerable one, the rabbis teach, should not be considered outside the boundary of the holy — rather, they specifically belong in Torah study, which is the deepest expression of holiness that we have outside of the Temple.
Today’s daf suggests that rather than defiling the learning process, vulnerability enhances its holiness. Whether as teacher or student, the rabbis have tasked us with the sacred responsibility of creating holy Jewish spaces where vulnerability is exalted.
In effect, the rabbis have redefined and expanded the definition of holy space and what (or who) belongs in it. Take a moment now to reflect on your Talmud learning: Have you felt like an outsider? Now imagine that the rabbis are inviting you to be at the center of this process. How might this invitation carry you into the next daf?

An Irish Town Planner: Plan for second terminal 'nonsense'
PLANS by the Dublin Airport Authority to build a second terminal are a "nonsense" and are designed to raise costs and passenger charges, Ryanair said yesterday.
Its history of "bad, excessively expensive development" means the total cost of developing the terminal - known as T2 - and associated works will be €842m, and not €610m as the DAA claims, the airline claimed.
Yesterday Ryanair's Head of Legal and Regulatory Affairs, Jim Callaghan, told a planning hearing that the DAA had failed to include the €150m 'write-off' of the airport's Pier C when arriving at a final cost.
This had resulted in the cost of the terminal quadrupling from €170m-€200m when it was first announced in September 2005, compared with the €840m bill Ryanair expects the DAA to meet. And he said that if T2 is built, passenger charges could almost double because the airport regulator based passenger charges on the value of assets held by the airport.
The high-cost facility would be bad news for consumers, while Pier C would be "wasted", he added.
T2 could accommodate up to 40 million passengers each year which would be a "manifest breach" of the 30 million a year cap envisaged in the Fingal County Council local area plan on numbers going through the airport. Had the DAA decided to build a €200m facility to accommodate 15 million passengers as it first proposed in 2005, Ryanair would support the plans. But the €842m cost - which the DAA has refuted - could not be justified.
"Most cities in Europe have a low-cost airport or terminal which Dublin hasn't. Ryanair offered to build and pay for a second terminal, but the Government decided to go with the Dublin Airport Authority.
No consideration had been given to building a new terminal to the north of the airport, which would have been more convenient to the existing terminal. Louise Congdon, an airport planning specialist appearing on behalf of Ryanair, said: "If Ryanair assumes control of Aer Lingus it will not use T2 and the development will be abortive."

He Day 11 Yahweh Sabaoth
June 15, 2020 by Paula Romang Leave a Comment
Exodus 7:14-14:31
He, Day 11
Hovering over the expanse of waters was the Spirit of Yahweh Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts, creator of everything out of nothing. When man's sin stained His beautiful creation, He promised a divine deliverer to pay the price for man's rebellion. Throughout the ages of the patriarchs, Yahweh Sabaoth sustained, protected and pursued His people.
When Egyptians enslaved them, Yahweh Sabaoth waged war on their behalf, unleashing His fury upon the nation and Egyptian gods. Each plague landed a direct hit upon their god's identity and supposed jurisdiction of power. The wizards mimicked some plagues, but quickly realized they were dealing with Someone stronger than they'd ever encountered.
Someone dangerous to their reign of deception.
Yahweh Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts.
Yahweh Sabaoth delivered the Hebrews and brought them to the Red Sea.
As the dust clouds rose from the desert signaling Pharoah's advancing army, the Hebrews trembled. The people who just witnessed plagues, the decimation of one nation and the exodus of another by the Lord of armies . . . panicked.
Yahweh's response?
He called toward quiet trust;
they rushed headlong into despair.
Despite their faith-failures, the miraculous doorway of deliverance for the Hebrews became the doorway of death for the Egyptians. Placing His visible presence as a barrier between the Egyptians and His people, Yahweh Sabaoth thwarted the Egyptians while illuminating the Hebrews' route through the sea.
Millenia passed, still God delivered valiantly. The One who created everything from nothing wrapped Himself in flesh and descended to redeem mankind.
Both Matthew's and John's gospels record a day in Jesus' life depicting the Lord of Hosts at work with power and majesty.
Bringing their diseased and distressed, masses followed Him. Some sought a spectacle, while others sought physical healing and hope for their lost and hungry souls. He multiplied loaves and fishes to satisfy their bodies and offered the Bread of Life to feed their souls.
Following a long day of ministry, the disciples stepped into a boat, ready to unwind with a quiet nighttime row across the lake. However, they were met with fierce winds and crashing waves.
Through the splashing spray, an eerie sight arose, a human form walking toward them on the waves.
"It's a ghost!" they shouted. Suddenly, they recognized His face. Jesus!
The One whose Spirit hovered over the waters of creation now walked upon the waves.
The disciples had known Jesus as Rabbi and friend;
now, they beheld Him as Yahweh Sabaoth.
Without hesitation, Peter issued his challenge, "If it's truly You, call me out to You on the water!"
Yahweh Sabaoth answered, "Come!"
With stunning confidence and audacious trust, Peter stepped out, joining Jesus on the waves.
When they returned to the boat, two amazing things happened.
The storm stopped instantaneously and their boat immediately arrived at its destination on the opposite shore.
Stunned silence must have followed as the boat bobbed near the quiet beach. The disciples, slack-jawed, stared at Yahweh Sabaoth. Shaken, they gasped, "Who are you?"
Jesus, Lord of hosts, Lord of angel armies, Yahweh Sabaoth.
Like the Hebrews at the Red Sea and the disciples on the lake, I, too, have encountered Yahweh Sabaoth. In the fall of 2012, my son, Matthew, lay in the PICU. A friend sent me the worship song "God of Angel Armies". Initially, the lyrics sounded nice, but felt like a lie, or worse yet, a sick joke.
Matthew was in a coma. My conversations with God were wordless groanings of the soul. My conversations with doctors were hushed, grim, and heavy. I felt like I was being slowly crushed in an invisible vice.
But eternal truth rose from the lyrics and I struggled to believe the words were true, despite what I felt. I was faced with the old dilemma: circumstances and emotions versus Scripture and Holy Spirit.
The answer was simple, not easy.
Truth always trumps emotion and circumstance.
It meant following His voice, through the fear.
Throughout Matthew's journey, God never spoke audibly, and I saw no pillars of fire. However, the "yes and amen" within my spirit was my pillar of cloud, and Scripture, my pillar of fire.
Yahweh Sabaoth was present in each hymn I sang softly in the darkness, inhabiting worship rising from my battle-weary soul. There in Matthew's PICU unit, He remained Yahweh Sabaoth, God of angel armies, friend of mine.
My emotions continued to whirl and our circumstances remained tumultuous. But as I clung to the truth, I found myself walking in confident trust and audacious faith, following Jesus through the fear.
For as He promised,
Yahweh Sabaoth, who hovered over the waters of creation,
hovered near us in the PICU.
Yahweh Sabaoth, who walked upon the sea,
sustained us "through the waters."
Yahweh Sabaoth, who delivered the Hebrews,
delivered Matthew from illness and special needs, welcoming him Home.
The same Yahweh Sabaoth calls to each of us, reaching through the waves. Our spirits will gasp in wonder when we recognize Yahweh Sabaoth in the face of Jesus. And like Peter, our only option will be confident trust and audacious faith in the Lord of hosts, Yahweh Sabaoth.

Pause 2 Day 6 The Sword & The Scalpel
October 29, 2018 by Paula Romang Leave a Comment
Pause 2, Day 6
The wound refused to heal.
The flesh surrounding the wound was hot, pink and tender.
The doctor's brow furrowed as he poked around, speaking in low tones to the nurse, who scurried away. The wound was deeply infected, needing to be lanced, infection drained, cleansed and perhaps packed. The nurse returned with a cart bearing medical supplies in tidy rows,
the silver blade of the scalpel glinting in the light.
The doctor explained the procedure; the patient didn't hear.
His eyes were fixed on the silver blade.
It was true the wound refused to heal, and intervention was needed, but the scalpel?
Yes, the scalpel.
If the wound was ever going to heal, the scalpel must be part of that plan.
As the doctor lanced, drained and packed the wound to allow physical healing,
so the Spirit of God desires to pursue the healing of our souls.
To do this, He must remove the infectious sins impeding our spiritual healing.
Scripture describes His Word as a sharp, two-edged sword.
Swords lacerate, wound and even kill!
But in the hands of our Great Physician, the Sword of the Spirit is an instrument of healing.
Due to our innate depravity, besetting sins are imbedded in the deep tissue of our souls like infectious bacteria. Allowed to remain, those sins multiply, leaving our souls riddled with festering infection and rendering the work of our hands ineffective for Kingdom growth.
With truth, our Great Physician cleanses our souls, leading us to repentance and the fullness of a redeemed life. He then packs our wounded souls with the healing balm of grace upon grace.
"I will walk in my house with blameless heart. I will set before my eyes no vile thing"
When my flesh cries out for gratification, Scripture's truth speaks clearly.
As I welcome its healing, I feel the deep slice of the sword of truth and know my self-will must die if I am to be healed and whole.
Without the sword of truth, our only option is to remain entangled in besetting sins,
observing the abundant life from a distance,
yet never truly partaking.
Without the sword, there can be no healing.
Therefore, I welcome the sword,
for by it I am healed and set free to run in pathways of the abundant life.
1 Peter is a book about solid hope.
It's also about running fervently away from sin that chokes the lifeblood of our freedom in Christ,
and our effectiveness in building God's Kingdom.
Peter's passion for Jesus and His redemption available to all is woven throughout his first, short letter.
As we continue to Pause this week, walk slowly through the words Peter wrote.
See his heart, hear his passion, run from the world's enticements, and sink your feet deep into the solid rock of HOPE!
1) Read 1 Peter 1 and answer these 3 questions in your journal:
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ:
To those chosen, living as exiles dispersed abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient and to be sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. 5 You are being guarded by God's power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.6 You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials 7 so that the proven character of your faith—more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and carefully investigated. 11 They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
13 Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be sober-minded and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. 15 But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy. 17 If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially according to each one's work, you are to conduct yourselves in reverence during your time living as strangers. 18 For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was revealed in these last times for you. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Since you have purified yourselves by your obedience to the truth, so that you show sincere brotherly love for each other, from a pure heart love one another constantly, 23 because you have been born again—not of perishable seed but of imperishable—through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For
and all its glory like a flower of the grass.
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.

Reflecting on 2015: An Extraordinary Year for CyclingAbout!
In just a few days it will be time to celebrate the New Year rolling in. I can't believe how quick this current year has flown by.
It has been an extraordinary year for CyclingAbout, and I can't be happier with the both the content and direction we're heading in. Over the last 12 months CyclingAbout has experienced a growth in readership by more than a factor of three – that blows. my. mind. What can I say, I'm chuffed!
In May I published an e-Book, of which I am so proud. I spent so much time refining it to the point where you can quickly learn all the tips and information about bicycle travel out of a one-hour read.
I completed a site redesign, and shifted everything over to some quick servers in September because CyclingAbout crashed due to all the increased traffic. The site now loads four times quicker and is able to handle a few million users a month. I really like the more professional look and feel of the website these days, and hope you do too.

The End of Alleykat 🙁
Although 2015 has been a wildly successful year for CyclingAbout, it has personally been the toughest year of my life. In the month of March, Kat and I headed in separate directions, shortly after completing our 31,000km, two-year bike trip from Europe to Australia.
I have kept it quiet not because I don't want it to be public knowledge, but rather that I've found it extremely hard to deal with. Kat is the person who I spent almost every hour with over multiple years. As a team, we tackled and won every challenge that travelling on a tandem bike threw at us. Kat managed to make me both the happiest and saddest I've ever been. She knows more about me than any other person on the planet, knowledge that she used to help me understand myself. I owe so much to Kat, and it pains me that we couldn't continue to be partners in crime.
That should go a long way to explaining why a lot of the content that you read here is now is written from my perspective, rather than 'Alleykats'.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid has proposed a new rule for hospice care and nursing homes. (Image public domain).
The Obama administration on Thursday announced a proposed rule that aims to ensure medical care for individuals in same-sex marriages — regardless of the state in which they live — following the Supreme Court decision against the Defense of Marriage Act.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid proposes the rule to change conditions for medical care providers and suppliers receiving support from Medicare and Medicaid, including hospitals and hospice care, as well as the requirements for long-term care facilities, or nursing homes.
The thrust of the proposed rule is to ensure same-sex marriages are recognized nationwide, even in states without marriage equality, for programs that in some aspects are administered by the states.
“This proposed rule addresses certain regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid participating providers and suppliers where current regulations look to state law in a matter that implicates (or may implicate) a marital relationship,” the rule states. “Our goal is to provide equal treatment to spouses, regardless of their sex, whenever the marriage was valid in the jurisdiction in which it was entered into, without regard to whether the marriage is also recognized in the state of residence or the jurisdiction in which the health care provider or supplier is located, and where the Medicare program explicitly or impliedly provides for specific treatment of spouses.”
The proposed rule, which can found here, is set for publication in the Federal Register on Friday. Once it’s published, comments must be received by 60 days to be assured consideration before the rule is made final.
Karen Loewy, senior attorney and seniors program strategist for the LGBT group Lambda Legal, said the proposed rules are “a very welcome development” and would “amend references to discriminatory state laws to provide equal treatment to spouses.”
“In practical terms, these changes will mean that a patient’s same-sex spouse will have the same right to access information, make decisions, and be part of admissions processes that a different-sex has in hospitals, hospice care, surgical care centers, long term care settings, labs, and community mental health centers that receive Medicare or Medicaid dollars, even when the laws of the state would not recognize their right to do so,” Loewy said. “These rules would provide important automatic protections for same-sex spouses, ensuring that a patient’s spouse gets to be by his or her side, be informed, and make those difficult decisions in vulnerable health care situations.”
In summary, the proposed rule seeks to established a same-sex spouse should be considered a person’s representative — regardless of state law — for the purposes for care from ambulatory surgical centers, hospice care, exercising a patient’s rights, informing patients of their rights, notification for laboratory services to screen blood and blood products for potentially infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C, care in long-term facilities, pre-admission screening and resident review for long-term care, findings of these evaluations, care in Community Mental Health Centers and client rights at these facilities.
Mark Daley, a spokesperson for the National LGBTQ Task Force, said changes in proposed rule are “common-sense” and would help elders in the LGBT community ensure they receive equal care in medical facilities.
“These new policies help ensure that one of the most vulnerable populations in our country, LGBTQ elders, are able to access federal programs in the same way that non-LGBTQ people access programs,” Daley said. “This means ensuring that same-sex spouses will be treated exactly the same as different-sex spouses in programs like long-term care facilities, Hospice care, and hospitals. What this really means for LGBTQ folks is that same-sex spouses will be able to visit and make medical decisions on behalf of their spouse, just like different-sex couples. It means that LGBTQ elders will have legal rights in the health care context, regardless of whether your state continues to discriminate against you by refusing to recognize your marriage.”
After the Supreme Court decision against DOMA, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid already issued guidance — once in September 2013 and again in May 2014 — to ensure same-sex marriages are recognized in determining eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. But the proposed rule says it’s needed because policies it addresses “are administered by different statutes and are administered by state Medicaid agencies and CMS.”
Sarah Warbelow, legal director for the Human Rights Campaign, said the proposed rule will help individuals in same-sex marriages in the medical care situations when they need assistance the most.
“When people are at their most vulnerable, from hospitals to hospice care to nursing homes, they need to know that their spouse will be fully informed, be able to help them make decisions, and be fully regarded as their spouse,” Warbelow said. “The rule proposed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid will help to ensure that the marriages of same-sex couples are treated equally regardless of where the couple lives.”
Maryland asked the federal appeals court here recently to halt all sludge dumping at a controversial ocean site 35 miles east of Maryland's and Delaware's beaches.
Appealing a lower-court decision by U.S. Deistrict Judge Gerhard A. Gesell, Maryland Deputy Attorney General Warren K. Rich said "the facts cry out" for a decision halting dumping.
Under a permit that expires in June but could be extended. Philadelphia dumps 50,000 tons of sludge monthly at the so-called Cape May site. Maryland claims bacteria, viruses and heavy metals in the sludge are a potential danger to people who use the water and to the shellfish industry.
Donald S. Russell, one of the three judges hearing the case in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, said he was puzzled by Maryland's appeal. "This seems to be an argument over very little," he said.
Russell noted that Gesell's decision specifically upheld sludge dumping by Camden, N.J., but that since that verdict last May, the city no longer uses the Cape May site, but another one more than 100 miles off the coast.
The judge asked Rich why Maryland, if it wanted to stop Philadelphia from using the site, couldn't argue against renewal of the city's permit at the public hearing that will begin probably in April.
However, Rich said the issue was not just Philadelphia's permit, but what he called "the improper designation" of the site by the Environmental Protection Agency. He said EPA designated the site with no environmental impact statement.
Maryland officials feel that Gesell, in the lower court decision, did not adequately consider this more general issue. They are hoping it will get more attention in the appellate court.
Representing EPA, Robert L. Clarquist, an attorney with the Justice Department's land and natural resources section, told the court, "We don't understand why Maryland made this appeal at all . . there's nothing left."
Clarquist also said that while Philadelphia is dumping 10 times as much sludge as Camden used to dump at the Cape May site, Philadelphia's waste has "much less bacterial and virus content."
Rich, though, argued that "it's a horrible situation" because the greater volume of Philadelphia's sludge offsets the fact that it is less contaminated that Camden's.
EPA officials said they hope to phase out by 1980 "all dumping of sludge that doesn't comply with stringent standards." Toward that end, Philadelphia has been ordered to cut its dumping in half by 1979 and end all of it by the next year.
But Maryland officials, saying they are concerned about hazards from interim dumping at the Cape May site, want that location closed immediately - thus their decision to take EPA to the Court of Appeals.

MOSCOW, SEPT. 7 -- Jewish activist Josef Begun received permission to leave the Soviet Union for Israel today, ending a 16-year wait and one of the most bitter personal battles with Kremlin authorities in modern Soviet history.
Nine other prominent Jews were also told that their requests to emigrate were settled, marking a sudden change for the better in the plight of some longstanding Soviet refuseniks, the term given Soviet Jews who have been denied exit visas.
In an interview here tonight, Begun -- who was released in February from Chistopol prison -- called the decision "a miracle." Breaking away from an emotional celebration in his tiny apartment with friends still awaiting permission to emigrate, the 54-year-old Begun said, "I am the happiest man alive."
When the call came from Moscow's visa office at noon today, he said he turned to his wife Inna, who began to cry.
With the resolution of Begun's case and those of such prominent refuseniks as Vladimir Lifshitz and Victor Brailovsky, the status of Soviet refuseniks takes one of its most dramatic turns since late 1979, when the flow of Jews to the West fell sharply, and exit applications and stories of painful waits began to accumulate.
Western diplomats in Moscow interpreted the development as a Soviet attempt to create a positive atmosphere for the meeting between Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and Secretary of State George P. Shultz in Washington next week.
The meeting, scheduled from Sept. 15-17, is expected to center on settling details of a U.S.-Soviet arms accord and the dates for a third summit meeting between President Reagan and Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev. "The Soviets seem to be responding to a U.S. plea for some movement in the human rights area, and at the same time to be trying to preclude human rights from becoming a major issue during the talks," one western diplomat said.
Even as he embraced his wife and son, however, Begun criticized Soviet authorities for their treatment of Jews who want to stay as well as those who want to emigrate.
"They resolve a few cases of well-known people to make it look like the situation is changing," he said, "but in reality it is not. I understand this as only a window to show that it is better."
After his initial application to emigrate in 1971, Begun had his requests to leave denied so often and with such vehemence that he became a symbol for all refuseniks. A mathematician by training, Begun lost his job when he applied to leave.
After his first application was rejected, Begun dug in his heels and became a teacher of Hebrew and Jewish culture to those who had no other opportunity to learn them. "My knowledge is far from perfect," said Begun, whose spoken English is better than his Hebrew, "but I teach those who know even less than I do."
Arrests and beatings in the early 1970s at the hands of Soviet intelligence, or KGB, gave way to harsher treatment, as Begun was swept up in a wave of arrests of Jews and jailed for two years for parasitism, a catch-all term for Soviets without official employment. Within months of his 1979 release he was arrested again and sentenced to three years for living in Moscow without permission.
In 1982, Begun was imprisoned again and finally released from Chistopol prison last February in a mass release of over 100 political prisoners, and after week-long demonstrations by his wife, Inna, and son, Boris, at the central Arbat street.
After his release, Begun quickly regained his position as the most beloved and outspoken of Soviet Jewish activists remaining here.
It was a place he had earned through years of commitment to the faith and unremitting criticism of the shortage of rabbis, synagogues and respect for Jewish culture across the Soviet Union.
During his long wait for permission to go, Begun watched many other close friends gain release from prison and permission to emigrate, including Anatoly (now Natan) Shcharansky and Yuri Orlov, human rights activists now in the West.
"I wanted to leave this country of no freedoms," Begun said in explaining his initial decision to emigrate as a 38-year-old struggling for his Jew-ish identity. "I did not feel free here as a person or as a Jew."
Other well-known refuseniks also granted permission to leave included Lev and All Sud, Symeon Yankovsky, and Arkady and Helen Mai and their daughter Naomi.
The list of those contacted by the Soviet emigration office was notable for its inclusion of those who have waited for more than a decade and sometimes up to 15 years to leave. It consisted exclusively of Jews with a commitment to go to Israel, not the United States. The number of Jews waiting to leave is still in the tens of thousands, according to most western estimates.
They include other prominent figures who have waited for years, such as Naum Meiman, a 76-year-old mathematician, who has waited for more than 10 years to go to the United States, and who was with other refuseniks in Begun's kitchen tonight.
For them, too, Begun sought to offer some consolation in his moment of jubilation. "When you wait so long," he said, "you don't quite believe it when it happens. And then you feel joy and sorrow: joy for your new life and sorrow for those being left behind."
Q: I sold a large house and bought a smaller one because of easier upkeep. I received $59,000 for my old house and paid $32,500 for my new one. H&R Block, the company that prepared my income tax return that year, told me I have a $5,000 deferred capital gain on my present (new) home when I sell it. I paid $5,000 in capital gains tax that year. What's meant by the deferred capial gain?
A: This sounds to me like you sold a "principal residence" prior to selling the one that brought you $59,000. You have a deferred capital gain from that prior sale. That gain will continue to be deferred unless or until you sell your "principal residence" and do not purchase another. At that time, you'll have to pay the deferred tax unless you are at least 55 and take advantage of the one-time, $100,000 tax exclusion on the sale or exchange of your "principal residence."
Q: My wife and I just purchased a condominium in Reston as an investment. The financing was a low 101/4 percent, he tenant is super, the negative cash flow manageable, the purchase price reasonable, the location good. Yet my wife is so worried that she cannot sleep at night. The condominium is fueled by heating oil, and she feels that it was unwise to purchase any property not fueled by natural gas. What is the risk in buying a property that uses oil?
A: Unless the increasing costs of heating oil can be factored into your rent, there appears to be greater risk in owning an income-producing dwelling that uses oil rather than gas.
According to the WTOP report, the three minutes represent the statistic that a new breast cancer diagnosis is made every three minutes in the U.S.
Women in Washington are being diagnosed with breast cancer at twice the national rate and have one of the highest death rates in the country.
Retailers yesterday offered massive discounts to lure holiday shoppers, who obliged by packing stores and malls in the Black Friday tradition.
The slashed prices delighted shoppers who were looking for bargains to cope with the slumping economy.
"The merchants are cooperating," said Margaret Fletcher as she pushed a cart full of items inside the T.J. Maxx store at Arundel Mills in Hanover, Md. "There's hardly anything that's full price, and this time of year that's not always the case."
At Wilson's Leather in Arundel Mills, leather jackets normally retailing for as much as $300 were selling for $79.99. The chain's Tysons Corner Center location also had large signs screaming out reduced prices. Major department stores such as Hecht's, Sears, Macy's, Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdales offered discounts of 10 percent to 50 percent off.
DVD players at several electronics stores, usually costing upwards of $179, could be found for under $100. And at the Gap Outlet at Arundel Mills, everything in the store was 20 percent off.
Most retailers are expecting weak sales this year, according to Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates, a New York retail consulting firm.
Upscale department stores and clothing stores such as the Gap will suffer the most, Mr. Davidowitz said. Discount department stores such as Wal-Mart and specialty retailers, such as home goods store Bed, Bath & Beyond, will do well, he said.
Shoppers are expected to gravitate toward home furnishings and accessories because consumers are spending more time at home after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Mr. Davidowitz said. DVD players also will sell well because of "coccooning," although sales for most other consumer electronics will be weak, he said.
Holiday sales will rise 2.5 percent to 3 percent from last year, to $206 billion, the National Retail Federation projects. That would make this year's retail growth the worst since 1990, when sales were basically unchanged.
"Black Friday" is so named because traditionally the day after Thanksgiving was the first day of the year retailers would post a profit. But the Thanksgiving weekend is no longer the busiest period of the season. Last year, the weekend accounted for only 8.6 percent of holiday sales, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers.
But still, chaos reigned yesterday morning as eager shoppers rushed into stores in an effort to grab sale items before they were sold out.
Wal-Mart, Sears and KB Toy Stores were hot spots early, attracting holiday shoppers with storewide sales beginning as early as 5 a.m.
"I just wanted to get a jump on things for my daughter before they really sold out," said Jena Estes as she walked through the cluttered aisles of the Wal-Mart in Bowie yesterday morning. "So far, so good."
At the KB Toy Store in Frederick, Md., doors opened at 5 a.m., and by 5:10 a.m. it was too crowded to get in, according to Dyan Delcoco, who bought several gifts there before heading to Arundel Mills in the afternoon, where there were fewer shoppers.
"This has really been nice," Ms. DiCoco said of the afternoon crowds at Arundel Mills. "It hasn't been crowded, and the lines haven't been bad."
"I live right down the street, so I snuck up here while everyone was sleeping," said Bowie resident Ginny Mortimer, who found a Christmas tree at half-price at the Sears in Bowie Town Center.
For the first time, Kmarts will be open 66 hours straight, from 5 a.m. Friday until 11 p.m. Sunday. Sears' 6 a.m. start time yesterday was an hour earlier than last year.
The afternoon crowd at Nordstom in Tyson's Corner Center was not much larger than on a typical holiday or weekend day, sales representatives said. The only departments that had higher-than-usual traffic were the shoes and juniors areas, which had sales going on.
Fancy European sneakers that regularly cost more than $100 could be found for one-third of that price. Prices also were slashed for leather high-heeled boots and fashionable designer flats.
"I shop at Nordstrom all the time and trust me, it's not every day you can get so many shoes for a good price," said Tania Lewis, an Alexandria resident who spent several hours browsing through the department stores.
She has bought only one Christmas gift a wool scarf for her sister Iris but she had picked up a number of clothes for herself. And two pairs of shoes.
The Tysons shoppers were most attracted to sales, as shops offering discounts were fuller than others. Toy and electronics shops and women's clothing stores were busy, although not all shoppers made purchases.
"I just had nothing else to do today," said Lindsey Fray, who had the day off from work and didn't want to stay at home with relatives after Thanksgiving. "I don't think I'm buying anything for the holidays yet, but it doesn't hurt to look around, right?"
Consumers browsing through the shops inside the National Press Building downtown seemed to share that sentiment.
While many shopped, others came to show support for the city, which has been suffering since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The D.C. government started a 10-day sales-tax holiday yesterday, which helped lure shoppers downtown. The campaign waives the 5.75 percent sales tax on clothes, shoes and accessories that cost $100 or less.
"I always come out when they get rid of the taxes," said John Jones, carrying several bags from downtown shops. "For some reason, I get good stuff here," he said of the shops at National Place. "Last year, most of the Christmas gifts for friends came from here."
Lynn Shapiro had bought a sweater by noon, from Filene's Basement. But she said she wasn't looking to buy much other than perhaps a toy for her 3-year-old son, Toby.
"I'm shopping but not big," Mrs. Shapiro said. She expects to spend as much on gifts as last year, but she plans to do most of her shopping next month online.
Internet sales are expected to rise 11 percent to $11.9 billion, according to online measurement group Jupiter Media Metrix.
For instance, customers at online retailer Amazon.com Inc. have ordered more than 9 million items since Nov. 9, the company said.
Amazon spokeswoman Kristin Schaefer Mariani would not discuss the pace of ordering yesterday but said the company expects strong holiday sales.
FORT WASHINGTON, Md. Around the time the 27th bass was flipped into the boat to be admired and then released, the complaints about a lack of action was heard from three visiting boaters. It was then we began to wonder why some of the fellows on the tidal Potomac River had such a tough time when common sense was the sole requirement on a day when the temperatures fell unexpectedly.
If there is one subject that absolutely bewilders anglers it's the various weather systems that promise to a) ruin the fishing for the next day, week or month b) increase the catches so fantastically that certain fishermen won't go near the water unless the very same weather pattern is again present or c) have pragmatists laughing about the whole weather deal because for various reasons they'll be on the water no matter what. (OK, a tornado might keep them hunkered down in the basement, but little else will.)
Actually, for millions of sport anglers the operative words are not just weather patterns, but barometric pressure. It is generally agreed that when the barometer is sharply on the rise, promising a strong high pressure system, some anglers are frightened silly because they "simply know" fish won't even think about feeding when bright bluebird skies are the rule.
Conversely, low barometric pressure is thought to be good, and the day(s) or hours before an approaching storm hits often deliver truly memorable catches. The easy explanation is that fish feel the oncoming bad weather in their bodies and, knowing that lean times might be ahead, enter an active feeding period. More difficult to understand reasons include such things as fish actually feeling the water density changes and react to them.
"For safety reasons I will check wind speed predictions, and I might cancel an outing when things get too rough on the water, but I won't stay home when I have clients who want to go fishing no matter what a barometer says about high or low pressure systems," says U.S. Coast Guard-licensed fishing guide, Andy Andrzejewski.
The pro guide, like a few others in his profession, possesses uncanny skills when it comes to finding largemouth bass. He believes the biggest obstacles to realizing consistent catches of fish is an improper tide and a sudden cold front that can quickly rearrange a waterborne creature's behavior.
Andrzejewski proved as much that day not long ago when an overnight cold front dropped into the Washington area's tidal Potomac River. By the following morning, when we reached a lengthy point on the south side of Smoot Bay, adjacent to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, the bass, that had so readily been attacking lures in water less than three feet deep, had disappeared. The cold snap obviously affected their choice of ambush spots where they normally wait for small schools of shiners, minnows or perch.
When repeated attempts at finding willing bass resulted in little more than cold fingers wrapped around our fishing rods and reels, Andrzejewski said, "It's time to resort to Plan B. These fish don't leave to go to Florida when it gets cold. They're here. Let's find them in slightly deeper layers of water that ring this land point. If they're not there, we'll fish even deeper, but one thing is sure, the bass are around here because their food supplies are here."
The shallow- to medium-depth crank baits that we had been using were exchanged for long-lipped Frenzy crankbaits, some in a gold color, some in bright green/red/black firetiger patterns. And instead of quarter-ounce spinnerbaits that can be so productive over rock beds that are barely covered with water, the guide and I switched to slowly-fished, gently-moved plastic worms or grubs that had been slathered in a fish attractant known as Smelly Jelly. (No, I don't own stock in the company. I use it because it works.)
In a matter of minutes and a space that covered maybe 100 yards, we found one bass after another in six to nine feet of water, near the rocky point and just below the edges of a strip of milfoil grass. They had moved to much deeper layers than they'd been in only a day before. What was astounding was their aggressive strikes on the wobbling Frenzy lures, or the soft, bottom-slithering plastic worms.
Only a week or so later, suburban Maryland fisherman Junior Brockington stood on the public pier at the Nanjemoy Creek's Friendship Landing as strong northwest winds blew the distant Potomac into frothing whitecaps. It marked the arrival of a high pressure system. The usual throng of boaters that would have visited on a Friday, stayed home, yet Brockington caught himself a sumptuous dinner.
Sounds like the first pick in the NFL Draft is burning a hole in Charley Casserly’s pocket. Our old friend Charley let it be known yesterday that the Texans, previously thought to be leaning toward Reggie Bush, might actually trade the No. 1 selection. What the club is trying to determine is whether a Bush in the hand is worth, well, more than the assortment of goodies the top choice usually brings.
“We’ve already had discussions with teams,” he told the Associated Press. “I think there’s value in our pick.”
Where’s Mike Ditka when Casserly really needs him? Mike was the spendthrift who traded Charley the Saints’ entire ‘99 draft (minus their second-rounder) plus their first-and third-rounders the next year for Ricky Williams. And Williams, let’s not forget, was only the fifth pick. Who knows what Iron Mike would trade for the first pick? Maybe two entire drafts — and a case of Levitra to be named later.
Even without Ditka among the bidders, though, Casserly is wise to explore his options — first because Houston is so needy and second because he could still come away with a stud player further down in the first round. That’s how it turned out when he dealt the Williams pick; he dropped down to the 13th slot, traded back up to No. 7 and wound up with Champ Bailey along with the No. 2 selection in 2000 (which his successor, Vinny Cerrato, used to take LaVar Arrington). The Texans should be so lucky.
I mean, suppose Houston settled for Memphis’ DeAngelo Williams instead of Southern Cal’s Bush. Who’s to say DeAngelo, who had an off-Broadway college career similar to LaDainian Tomlinson’s, wouldn’t have an NFL career similar to Tomlinson’s? There’s very little certitude in these scouting reports; it’s more a matter of educated guessing and wishful thinking.
It’s funny. Once upon a time, having the No. 1 pick was cause for celebration. For a bottom-dwelling team and its beaten-down fans, it was the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. But now the attitude seems to be: Let’s put the pick on EBay and see what we can get for it. If the Texans do, indeed, divest themselves of the selection, it will be the fifth time it has been traded in the last dozen years — the others being ‘95 (Ki-Jana Carter), ‘97 (Orlando Pace), ‘01 (Michael Vick) and ‘04 (after Eli Manning refused to sign with the Chargers).
Casserly, who always does his homework, can learn plenty from these deals. The first thing he can learn is: You can turn the No. 1 pick into a truckload of lesser picks if you want. In ‘97, for instance, when Bill Parcells took over the Jets, he traded down from first to sixth to ninth and came away with eight players/choices (the best of whom were James Farrior and Jason Ferguson).
So Charley can go that route if he’s inclined — quality for quantity. (The Jets, of course, got better in a hurry, but that had more to do with Parcells than with swapping the top pick.)
Then there’s the Vick deal. The jury’s still out on that one. The Falcons got the quarterback they needed, but the Chargers got Tomlinson and Reche Caldwell. At this point, I’d give the edge to San Diego.
Three years later, the Chargers dealt the No. 1 pick again … and did even better. In exchange for Peyton Manning’s younger brother, the Giants gave them, essentially, Philip Rivers (the fourth pick), kicker Nate Kaeding, ‘05 NFL defensive rookie of the year Shawne Merriman and veteran offensive tackle Roman Oben (acquired with a No. 5 obtained from New York). Also, in case you missed it, the Bolts battered the Giants 45-23 last season.
The price of a No. 1 pick fluctuates from year to year. It’s worth more when the top pick is (or might be) a quarterback, less when he plays another position. All Ki-Jana Carter brought the Panthers was a No. 1 and a No. 2. This year’s draft, though, features Matt Leinart and Vince Young; and if some team has the hots for either, Casserly and the Texans could benefit. Especially since they’re comfortable at QB with David Carr and wouldn’t take Leinart or Young, anyway.
And so Charley is Playing the Game, listening to all offers and hoping somebody gets overcome with quarterback lust. It’s happened before. What did the Chargers give up for Ryan Leaf (the second pick in ‘98) — two players, two No. 1s, a No. 2 and the San Diego Zoo? Ever since, you’ll note, they’ve been sellers of high picks, not buyers.
Ten seventh- and eighth-graders yesterday graduated from the District’s first truancy-diversion program in a ceremony that highlighted efforts to combat school absenteeism.
“It talks to us about character and how, if we don’t have good character, nobody’s going to want us for a job,” said Lawanne Johnson, 13, a program graduate who graced the ceremony with an impromptu rendition of Whitney Houston’s song “Greatest Love of All.” “We should want to hang with people that want to be something in life.”
The 15 students who originally enrolled in the 10-week program all attended Garnet-Patterson Middle School in Northwest, where yesterday’s ceremony was held.
In the program, the children and a parent or guardian attended meetings every Tuesday morning with Judge Lee F. Satterfield, a former presiding judge of D.C. Family Court, to discuss how to improve their attendance, grades and overall behavior.
Four social workers also regularly visited the students’ homes to help their families address issues leading to the unexcused absences. Students had to attend the meetings and improve their attendance to graduate.
“They started coming to the house and told us we needed to start coming to the program,” said Naphtali Young, 14. “It got me up early and used to getting to school on time.”
Lawanne’s mother, Janice, said her daughter often was late to school because of safety concerns as she traveled alone from their home in Northwest. The program helped Lawanne realize that others had the same difficulties.
“It wasn’t just the parents getting them here; it was them wanting to get here and taking the initiative,” Miss Johnson said.
The D.C. public school system has been plagued by high truancy rates, which officials say stem from problems at home or simply students’ lack of interest in getting an education.
Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act requirements, the school system reported 20,845 chronic truants and a 23.5 percent overall truancy rate during the 2003-04 school year, which was more than four times the national average of 3 percent to 5 percent.
Officials did say that an enhanced enforcement program operated by the court, schools and other agencies targeting parents of elementary school children resulted in a 40 percent decrease in truant students between fall 2003 and fall 2004.
According to the school system’s strategic plan on its Web site (www.k12.dc.us/dcps/home.html), officials hope to have an 18.5 percent overall truancy rate by the end of this school year and a 5 percent rate by 2014.
Officials said yesterday’s culmination of the program — a collaboration among the school system, city agencies and D.C. Superior Court — is a way to meet that goal without imposing on parents or students penalties such as fines or imprisonment.
“It’s a non-sanction-based program,” said Diane E. Powell, the school system’s assistant superintendent for support services. “When we look at the return, it’s worth any investment.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaking out for the first time since he resigned, retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal takes the blame for a Rolling Stone article and the unflattering comments attributed to his staff about the Obama administration that ended his Afghanistan command and army career.
“Regardless of how I judged the story for fairness or accuracy, responsibility was mine,” McChrystal writes in his new memoir, in a carefully worded denouncement of the story.
The Rolling Stone article anonymously quoted McChrystal’s aides as criticizing Obama’s team, including Vice President Joe Biden. Biden had disagreed with McChrystal’s strategy that called for more troops in Afghanistan. Biden preferred to send a smaller counterterrorism and training force — a policy the White House is now considering as it transitions troops from the Afghan war.
“I called no one for advice,” he writes in “My Share of the Task,” describing his hasty plane ride back to Washington only hours after the article appeared in 2010, to offer his resignation to President Barack Obama. McChrystal was immediately replaced by his then-boss, Gen. David Petraeus.
McChrystal devotes a scant page-and-a-half to the incident that ended his 34-year military career and soured trust between the military and media. The book, published by Portfolio/Penguin, an imprint of Penguin Group USA, comes out Monday.
The closest McChrystal comes to revealing his regret over allowing a reporter weeks of unfettered access with few ground rules comes much earlier in the book. “By nature I tended to trust people and was typically open and transparent. … But such transparency would go astray when others saw us out of context or when I gave trust to those few who were unworthy of it.”
McChrystal does try to explain the tensions that helped lead to Obama’s decision to accept his resignation. At the center was the wrangle over McChrystal’s recommendation for 40,000 more U.S. troops in Afghanistan — and conflicting guidance.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates told McChrystal to request the number he thought he needed. White House staff signaled that the newly election president wanted to keep the levels down.
McChrystal describes how he presented his war goal to the White House as “defeat the Taliban” and “secure the population,” and was advised to lower his sights to “degrade” the Taliban.
Obama approved the addition of 30,000 troops, while simultaneously announcing a withdrawal date of 2014. McChrystal did not challenge those decisions, though he says he worried the timetable would embolden the Taliban.
As for the Rolling Stone fallout, a Pentagon inquiry into the magazine’s profile cleared McChrystal of wrongdoing and called into question the accuracy of the June 2010 story. The review, released in April 2011, concluded that not all of the events at issue happened as reported in the article.
Rolling Stone issued a statement saying it stood behind freelance writer Michael Hastings’ story, which it called “accurate in every detail.”
There is no bitterness or score-settling with the White House staff that had pushed for his departure over the article. McChrystal and the White House moved beyond the matter, and first lady Michelle Obama invited McChrystal to serve on the board of Joining Forces, a White House initiative for troops and their families.
The book details the general’s rise through the ranks, from his time as a West Point cadet to serving in the 82nd Airborne Corps and earning his Special Forces Green Beret, and then commanding a battalion of the 75th Ranger regiment.
McChrystal describes only briefly an incident that nearly ended his career years earlier: allegations of a cover-up involving the friendly fire incident that killed football-star-turned-Army Ranger Pat Tillman. McChrystal approved a Silver Star for valor, with a citation that stated Tillman had been cut down by “devastating enemy fire.”
But as reports came in from the troops at the scene, McChrystal realized Tillman may have died by fratricide. He sent an oblique warning to his superiors that President George W. Bush should delete mention of enemy fire from his remarks, when presenting the award to Tillman’s family at his memorial service.
McChrystal told the investigators that he believed Tillman deserved the award, and that he wanted to warn top U.S. military and political leadership that friendly fire was a possibility. The Pentagon later cleared him of wrongdoing.
In the book, McChrystal writes only that he followed “standard practice” to quickly process a Silver Star for Tillman’s actions on the battlefield, in time to present it to the family at the memorial service. He explains he had become aware before Tillman’s memorial service that friendly fire was likely the cause of death, and sent notice to his superiors that was classified secret, as all his communications were. McChrystal writes that left the decision of what to pass on to the White House to his superiors.
The man portrayed in the Rolling Stone article as arrogant comes off as far more down to earth in the book.
McChrystal writes of his doubts when he was asked to take charge of the military’s top counterterrorism unit, the Joint Special Operations Command. He worried the troops would reject him because he had not served in any of its elite units such as the Army’s Delta Force or the Navy’s SEAL Team 6.
He says he helped JSOC evolve from a disconnected organization that was slow to catch targets early on in Iraq, because the operators lacked the manpower or communications equipment to analyze intelligence they gathered quickly enough. It eventually grew into closely networked teams that worked with the CIA and FBI and others to take down up to a dozen targets a night in Afghanistan, with intelligence gathered from the first target leading to the others.
At the request of Pentagon security reviewers, the former general made famous by his command at JSOC doesn’t use that term, instead substituting “Task Force 714” for JSOC, “Green team” for Delta, and “Blue” for SEAL Team 6.
Those are part of the changes the general agreed to make, because those units and their missions are classified, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the security review. They spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The review process delayed the release of the book, which had been scheduled to come out in December. Pentagon officials decided to give the book another read, after a member of the Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden released an account of the raid without submitting the manuscript for a security review.
McChrystal said he “accepted many suggested changes and redactions, some reluctantly, particularly where public knowledge of facts and events has outpaced existing security guidelines,” in order to “keep faith with the comrades I had served alongside.”
The Jayhawks trailed Baylor by just a point at halftime on Jan. 19 before dominating the second half and winning by 16. In the rematch Saturday, the ninth-ranked Lady Bears led by 26 at the break and routed Kansas 81-47 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
Baylor opened Saturday’s game with a 22-4 run that put Kansas on its heels. Nina Davis scored nine points during that stretch while Kansas made just 2 of its first 13 shots.
“I thought they were really, really aggressive with us in the first four minutes, got us out of sorts,” Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We had no rhythm, we started dribbling around like crazy.”
Davis, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, led Baylor with 20 points and seven rebounds. Odyssey Sims, the nation’s scoring leader and Big 12 Player of the Year, added 15 points for the top-seeded Lady Bears (27-4).
Chelsea Gardner had 21 points and nine rebounds and Dakota Gonzalez added 10 points and six rebounds for No. 8 seed Kansas (13-19), which shot just 34 percent from the field and suffered its worst loss of the season.
“We’ve got to shoot the ball better to get Chelsea some room,” Henrickson said. “We’ve got to give her some room to play.”
Gardner made two of her first three shots for Kansas while the rest of the team started off 0 for 10 from the field.
Sims committed her fourth foul with about 14 minutes to play, but by then, Baylor led 52-29. A 3-pointer by Makenzie Robertson bumped the advantage to 59-31 and led to a timeout by Kansas.
“They just looked at us and said, ‘We’re going to rip it and drive on you and offensive rebound and get you in transition,’” Henrickson said. “Give them a tremendous amount of credit. They came out and ran a buzz saw and we didn’t have an answer defensively.”
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Developers in Miami Beach are making big contributions to a term-limited city commissioner’s new political action committee.

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland Indians did not make qualifying offers to free agents Mike Napoli or Rajai Davis, two players who helped get them to the World Series.
The AL champions had until 5 p.m. Monday to make the $17.2 million offers, which would have guaranteed them compensatory draft picks if the players sign with other teams.
Even though qualifying offers weren’t extended, Indians president Chris Antonetti said the team has strong interest in re-signing Napoli and Davis. The Indians would have had exclusive negotiating rights with them, but now they can talk with other clubs.
The first baseman/designated hitter struggled in the postseason, batting just .173 with one homer. But Antonetti said that wouldn’t outweigh Napoli’s contributions on the field as well as in the clubhouse as Cleveland won its first division title since 2007 and made the Series for the first time since 1997.
Like Napoli, Davis had a productive first season with the Indians. The 35-year-old led the AL with 43 steals and helped solidify the outfield when All-Star Michael Brantley wasn’t able to come back from shoulder surgery.
Davis also struggled in the playoffs, but he provided a magical moment in Game 7 of the Series. Davis connected on a two-run homer in the eighth inning off Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman to tie it 6 before the Indians lost 8-7 in 10 innings, preventing Cleveland from winning its first title since 1948.

Stone money transport to Yap Island in Micronesia Micronesia began to be settled several millennia ago, although there are competing theories about the origin and arrival of the first settlers. There are numerous difficulties with conducting archaeological excavations in the islands, due to their size, settlement patterns and storm damage. As a result, much evidence is based on linguistic analysis. The ancestors of the Micronesians settled there over 4, years ago.
This was the reason for building a fortress to protect the Civitavecchia Port.
From south to north, these three new sites are: Slip rates were determined by combining offsets measured with 1-m-resolution airborne lidar data with 10Be cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure and optically stimulated luminescence ages from displaced alluvial fans. The offset fans date to When combined with slip rates determined in earlier companion studies, these results show that the late Quaternary slip rate decreases northward and southward from the central part of the fault, as slip is transferred onto north-trending zones of distributed normal faulting towards the northeast and southwest of the central zone of rapid deformation.
This complex pattern of strain accommodation may reflect structural evolution towards a straighter, structurally simpler zone of dextral shear that locally utilizes well-established dextral faults that are linked where necessary by nascent zones of deformation.
Overhunting contributed to widespread faunal extinctions and the decline of marine megafauna, fires destroyed lowland forests, and the introduction of the omnivorous Pacific rat Rattus exulans led to a new wave of predation on the biota. Such differences underpin radically divergent interpretations of human dispersal from West Polynesia and of ecological and social transformation in East Polynesia and ultimately obfuscate the timing and patterns of this process.
Using New Zealand as an example, we provide a reliable approach for accurately dating initial human colonization on Pacific islands by radiocarbon dating the arrival of the Pacific rat. This matches with the earliest-dated archaeological sites, human-induced faunal extinctions, and deforestation, implying there was no long period of invisibility in either the archaeological or palaeoecological records.
The devastating ecological consequences of human arrival are well documented on many East Polynesian islands and show striking similarities in terms of deforestation 2 and faunal extinctions or declines 3 — 7. However, the chronological sequence of the prehistoric colonization of East Polynesia remains controversial 1 , 8 — 11 , with one model suggesting dispersal from West Polynesia as early as B.
We illustrate this approach here using New Zealand, the southernmost archipelago of East Polynesia, because it provides an excellent case study where an unresolved polarized debate persists about the time of initial human colonization 18 — We show how the earliest-dated evidence of the introduced commensal Pacific rat Rattus exulans can be used as a reliable proxy to pinpoint the time of initial human arrival by accelerator mass spectrometry AMS radiocarbon dating of Pacific rat bones found in extinct laughing owl Sceloglaux albifacies roost sites 20 , 21 and distinctive rat-gnawed woody seed cases bearing the tell-tale incisor marks of seed predation found preserved in sediments 15 , Our method exploits the fact that the omnivorous rat was transported throughout the Pacific by prehistoric people and multiplied rapidly after its initial introduction.

Boris Johnson & Co have made mistakes but when will scientists admit their Covid errors? Dominic Lawson – Daily Mail
Local lockdowns dreamed up in London are causing nightmares for the rest of England, John Harris – The Guardian
The return of Spitting Image shows how toothless British satire has become, Nesrine Malik – The Guardian
“The government has claimed that 1,300 arts organisations are going to be saved by a £250 million bailout fund which it releases today. Theatres, arts venues and museums will be told this morning whether they were successful in claiming grants of up to £1m. The Old Vic theatre in Bristol, Wigmore Hall in London and the Birmingham Royal Ballet were among the small number of successful applicants announced by the government yesterday. The government said that the £257 million pot would “save 1,385 theatres, galleries, performance groups, arts organisations, museums and local venues facing the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and ensure they have a sustainable future”.” – The Times
“Councils are about to be given greater responsibility for contact tracing in an acknowledgement that local tracers have been far more effective than the national system. Robert Jenrick, the communities secretary, said that the government was going to be “making use of local councils to do contact tracing” because there was “clear evidence that local councils are good at that”. “People who know their own community, particularly harder to reach communities, are bound to be better than Whitehall or national contact tracers so we’re going to be supporting them to do that,” he told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC One.” – The Times
Coronavirus 6) Iain Duncan Smith says Government should unleash £460m benefit reform in wake of Covid
“A second phase of benefit reform should be unleashed in the wake of coronavirus, the architect of Universal Credit declared tonight. The £460million Universal Support scheme would help tackle the scourge of drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness and homelessness that stop people finding work, according to Iain Duncan Smith. The former Tory Cabinet Minister says the Town Hall-led and charity-run project would soften the impact of job losses sparked by the virus. As Pensions Secretary between 2010 and 2016, Sir Iain pioneered the benefit reform that streamlined welfare into a single monthly payment. Now, he is backing a report published today by the Centre for Social Justice aimed at helping welfare claimants “tackle barriers to personal progress” by “bolstering people’s economic, physical, mental and social wellbeing”.” – The Sun
“France has threatened a no-deal Brexit unless Britain backs down on fishing rights for French boats, fuelling fears that President Macron will threaten to block negotiations at a European Union summit this week. France, and other coastal states, face massive cuts to fishing quotas at the end of the Brexit transition period this year unless the government compromises. Annick Girardin, the French fishing minister, described British proposals to regain sovereignty over coastal waters and fisheries, under international law, as “unacceptable”. “Fishermen would rather have no agreement than a bad agreement,” she told Le Journal du Dimanche.” – The Times
Ministers blasted for using arcane Parliamentary rules to block MPs from voting on plan to prevent chlorinated chicken imports under a UK-US trade deal – Daily Mail
UK agriculture is on the line during this vote this week… but ministers won’t see sense, Geoffrey Lean – Daily Mail
Minette Batters in Comment: Today, MPs should insist on better scrutiny arrangements for future trade deals
“Scotland Yard’s criminal investigation of a conservative activist over his interview with the historian David Starkey is “sinister and foolish”, according to a former director of public prosecutions. Lord Macdonald of River Glaven said the Metropolitan Police’s pursuit of Darren Grimes, a pro-Brexit campaigner, was “deeply threatening of free speech”. Mr Grimes, 27, has said that police want to interview him under caution over a controversial interview uploaded to YouTube in the summer, in which Dr Starkey said that slavery could not have been genocide as there are “so many damn blacks” still around. Mr Grimes is facing investigation for an offence of stirring up racial hatred, which falls under the Public Order Act. The offence carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.” – The Times
“The RAF has been forced to strip parts from 17 fighter jets to keep the rest of the fleet operational. An official document released by the cash-strapped Ministry of Defence showed that British taxpayers paid £17.6 billion for 160 Typhoons. But new figures from this year show that the number of RAF Typhoons in service is only 139. Four of the aircraft were never in the fleet, with three used for development flying, meaning 17 Typhoons are being used as spares to keep others flying in a project the RAF calls ‘reduce to produce’ in a bid to save money. The cost of the aircraft that have been cannibalised is £1.1 billion.” – Daily Mail
“Nets could be used to stop migrants in dinghies from crossing the Channel, according to a former Royal Marine appointed to halt such arrivals. Dan O’Mahoney, the Home Office’s clandestine channel threat commander, said authorities were close to being able to use nets as part of a “safe-return tactic” which would see migrants taken back to France on British vessels. The tactic was designed to make boats inoperable, Mr O’Mahoney said, but it was being held up by France’s refusal to accept intercepted migrants. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr O’Mahoney detailed a plan designed to stem the flow of migrants to the UK.” – The Times
“Professors are demanding that university bosses consult them over deals with repressive regimes as they attempt to tackle threats to academic freedom on campuses. Academics across the country have drawn up a series of demands in response to concerns that university administrations have been ignoring foreign interference for years. Scholars at Edinburgh, Exeter, Goldsmiths, King’s College London, Lincoln, LSE, Oxford and the School of Advanced Study have formed the Academic Freedom and Internationalisation Working Group to address the issue.” – The Times
“Whitehall officials have no idea how many recipients of honours have paid vast sums for help to get their awards, a Daily Mail investigation reveals. The damning findings bring the entire honours system ‘into disrepute’, MPs have warned. Specialist firms boast they can improve your chances of getting an honour dramatically, charging clients up to £40,000 to deliver even knighthoods or damehoods. The awards for hundreds of those named in the delayed Queen’s Birthday Honours List on Saturday may be tainted by the involvement of the fixers. Applicants putting forward a candidate for an honour are required to tick a box on the entry form if one of the fixer firms has been used.” – Daily Mail
“Cyclists will be given priority at junctions for the first time under plans for a new generation of smart traffic lights. Technology is being tested and developed in three cities that will enable traffic lights to “see” approaching cyclists and change to green, allowing them to ride straight through. The system, which uses cameras and artificial intelligence (AI), is designed to make busy roads more cycle-friendly while reducing the likelihood of accidents. It also acknowledges the fact that some cyclists fail to stop at red lights, putting them at risk of being hit by a vehicle. The move is being made after a government report was published last week suggesting a boom in the number of people taking to their bikes in towns and cities across Britain during the coronavirus lockdown.” – The Times

Thinks Philippine President Duterte is doing an "unbelievable job on the drug problem"
Trump Promoting Executions over Harm Reduction Practices that Save Lives
"Given Trump's embrace of the Philippines' Rodrigo Duterte, who has overseen a large-scale campaign of state-sanctioned murder, it's no surprise that Trump is saying he wants to execute drug dealers," said Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno, executive director of Drug Policy Alliance. "But executions are not only barbaric and illegal under international law—they also don't work. It's appalling that in the midst of a major overdose crisis, Trump continues to ignore proven policies that save lives, and instead seeks to emulate the behavior of killers."
Trump has praised President Duterte's response to drugs in the Philippines, which has led to thousands of extrajudicial executions of people for their suspected involvement in drugs. The International Criminal Court is assessing whether this policy constitutes a crime against humanity.
Using the death penalty for drug offenses, as Trump apparently wants to do, is a violation of international law. It is a policy that has primarily been adopted by autocratic or highly repressive states like China, Iran, and Singapore; even if it worked at reducing drug supply or use—and these states have provided no meaningful evidence that it has—it is an entirely disproportionate and abusive state response to problematic drug use.
In contrast to ineffective draconian policies, by adopting an integrated approach to prevention, education, harm reduction, including ensuring widespread distribution of naloxone, and evidence-based treatment, it is possible to dramatically reduce the number of deaths related to opioid use.
In addition to prevention programs that educate people with honest information about opioids, harm reduction strategies and programs have a strong track record of improving the health of people using opioids and preventing overdose deaths. There are a wide range of well-established harm reduction practices. Some are as simple as teaching young people how to stay safe when partying. Other proven measures include setting up safe consumption sites, enacting Good Samaritan laws that encourage people to seek help when someone is in distress without fear of punishment, and ensuring that people in the best position to reverse an overdose—people who use drugs themselves or their friends and families—have easy access to the overdose antidote medication naloxone.
Another life-saving harm reduction technique is to give people who use opioids a means of testing the substance they are using to see if it has been adulterated with fentanyl or some other substance that could lead to an overdose or other adverse reaction.
Harm reduction programs enable people with expertise in drug use to engage with those who are using problematically, earn their trust, and potentially guide them toward voluntary treatment programs. Judgment and the threat of being punished for drug use drives people who use drugs underground and into greater danger of an overdose or other adverse reaction. Harm reduction, on the other hand, saves lives.

Correction of a bid mistake after bid opening poses some difficult questions. If a low bid can be corrected, still leaving the bid as low, isn't this advantageous for the project owner? The alternative is to allow withdrawal of the mistaken bid, to which the bidder would clearly be entitled, and award of the contract at a higher price to the second low bidder. But isn't any change in a bid price after disclosure of all bid prices contrary to the fundamental principles of sealed competitive bidding? ... Read more.

Thoughts on Going Un-Remote
Posted on February 29, 2016 February 28, 2016 by Emily Chapman
My first job out of college was an on-site support gig in my hometown. I worked 2-10pm, which was an excellent shift for that season in my life, and allowed me to avoid rush hour traffic. Then I moved to my first-and-a-half job, for my previous employer’s sister company. This meant a pay bump, a move to 9-5, and a new location in the nicer of the company’s two buildings. After a year, I was burned out on the commute, on office culture, on waking up early. I moved on to my second-ish job: working remotely for my current company, which meant no commute and also no real need to wear pants or talk to humans all that regularly.
On the one hand, it was awesome. Stretchy pants and no makeup and waking up 10 minutes before work were all enjoyable for many months. On the other hand, after about a year, I realized that I was getting to the point where I was walking maybe 200 steps a day, and that not ever brushing my hair or talking to someone who wasn’t serving me coffee may not have made for the most dignified work day.

Still work to be done (Part II). Discrimination still a thing at the Carra but the club doing all it can
10th November 2017 By Martin Penney 28 Comments
I recently read a fine article on this site by Robin Sainty relating to racism rearing its ugly head at The Emirates.
Just about the last football club I would expect to appear in the national media in the context of a case of racism is Norwich City, yet, thanks to the efforts of one idiot at the Emirates who thought it okay to racially abuse boxer Anthony Ogogo, apparently on the grounds that he thought he was an Arsenal fan (as if that justifies anything), that's what happened.
I empathise with Robin's sentiments to the degree that I'll shove the old turnip over the parapet and try to provide some background. 21 of us here on MFW made comments totally supportive of Robin's article, and out of 22 that ain't bad.
Please suspend any idea that I am about to become ageist. I am just trying to offer some perspective.
I was born in Forest Gate, London E7 (deep West Ham territory) in 1957. Nowhere near Norwich. My mother was the most aggressive racist you could ever meet – and never to my knowledge went out of England – while my father was a Port of London Authority dock copper who had fought in the Royal Engineers throughout WWII and instinctively knew to take people for who and what they were. He never based his opinions on race or colour.
Forest Gate "welcomed" the West Indian influx who came to boost Britain's then flagging nursing and transport services. I later went to junior school with several of their (mainly Jamaican) kids in Chadwell Heath. We got on great and so we should because we all know kids are not naturally racist.
Unfortunately me and quite a few others were invited to go to Jamaican houses after school but were not allowed to by "horrified" parents. The thought of a West Indian child in my mother's house would have made her react like a character from Little Britain.
Dad kept a sense of reality ticking over; taking me to the local Chinese takeaway for a pancake roll (and chips if I was lucky) but he dared not take the food into the house because of its point of origin. We ate in his car. Mother would have erupted otherwise.
Once he gave me and my little mate Ricky West a lift home in his company car – identifiable by its chrome bells on the roof, complete with blue and white "Police" sign. Ricky was thrilled. But as Ricky was West Indian, he was obviously dropped off first.
Hard as nails as he was, Dad was terrified of my mother.
I went to uni and then work, discovered as much of the world as I could and reaffirmed to myself that Dad was right and Mother was wrong. I wrote some stuff for NME during the "Rock Against Racism" campaign and learned a lot through that experience. But, back to football.
Having been to Upton Park to see Clyde Best and others getting the banana throwing and monkey chant treatment referred to by Robin and having two uncles thoroughly endorsing such behaviour made me think it was wrong even at ten years of age.
One of the most affirming experiences of my life was going to the old Highbury, many years ago. All-inclusive support from white guys, black guys and many Greek Cypriots. All following the A*se together. Pioneers.
My friend Keith, who I have shared the pleasures of Carrow Road with for over 25 years and is now in his 70s, was a PC in the West Yorkshire force. Based in Bradford, he experienced policing "ethnic minorities" at the closest of quarters.
Not only does he echo my father's attitude, he's also had a good old snap at the odd racist comment in the Upper Barclay. None of those have been heard in a long while now in our vicinity. Not because of Keith – attitudes are getting better to the point that we're almost there.
My children are in their mid-20s. Racism does not exist in their minds, or those of their peer group.
But obviously this article has to go somewhere, and here comes the sting in this tale:
It is only when the last of that inherently racist generation drops off the cliff that we can sit back and relax.
They are almost guaranteed to be over 70 – for every one of them like my father, there will be one like my mother.
Carrow Road is full of that age group and until they depart (in one way or another) the prospect of future racism continues to surround us.
I hope I haven't insulted anybody, but when it comes to accusations of racism some of that generation need to take it on the chin.
The last word belongs to NCFC official:
"As always, any supporter found to be guilty of discriminatory abuse will be banned indefinitely by Norwich City and face possible criminal investigation."
And that's good enough for me. We're doing our best. We might have to wait a few years until it's totally eradicated however.
10th November 2017 at 7:48 am
Well said, Martin. I started supporting Norwich in 1972 and was shocked at the racism which was then far too common on the terraces. I leafleted for Canaries Against Nazis at this time and indeed penned some of those leaflets.
The big change from then 'til now is the attitude from the authorities in the game. I remember managers and owners saying there was no place for swearing and foul language in football but when I wrote to them asking them to condemn racism, I never received a response.
That attitude has long gone thank goodness. I don't necessarily agree that racism will somehow die out with our older supporters somehow – in fact that can be considered quite insulting.
However younger supporters would find it hard to believe the attitudes and language once considered acceptable at football.
Let's all work hard to make sure we never return to those days and we can enjoy football in a setting where we welcome players and supporters wherever they are from.
10th November 2017 at 8:13 am
Thank you Robin – an excellent comment indeed.
I totally realise my remarks about a certain generation are a little contraversial, hence my caveat of not wanting to deliberately insult anybody and certainly not "carpet bombing" that entire group of people.
However as a child with parents OF that generation, I really feel a significant quota have never quite moved into the modern, much better, world. Old habits die hard in some cases unfortunately.
Best case scenario would be that we didn't have to discuss the issue at all…
Once again, thanks for a great comment.
10th November 2017 at 9:27 am
Martin – good article and very thought provoking. I think its a credit to you that you didn't inherit the viewpoint of your parents, something which is probably quite easy to do.
Whilst I agree racism will hopefully become less prevalent with each generation, I believe there is always the risk of people adopting the viewpoints of their parents, or grandparents (unlike yourself) so it may well take a few generations before these abhorrent points of view are consigned to the history books.
As you say, its a good sign that of the 20-odd comments of Robin's article recently, all were positive with only one negative comment, but that in itself is a microcosm of the issue we as a club face. At the Arsenal match, 8,999 Norwich fans were well behaved but it just took one idiot to say something moronic.
10th November 2017 at 10:55 am
Racist stuff is so very rare at Carrow Road these days that when something IS said it comes as a bit of a shock tbh.
Maybe putting the perpetrator down to his (or her) face in realtime is better than reporting it via a steward or whatever?
As you so rightly say, it only takes one idiot. But they are becoming less prelevant by the day – I can't remember an incident in UB Block D in about five years now, so we are moving on.
10th November 2017 at 10:58 am
Or even prevelant: flippin' autocheck:-(
Yes, there is a lot that is older generation about racism, and I will agree with you Martin that amongst the younger generation there is nothing like the overt racism that used to exist in the past. But, I don't think that necessarily means the coast is altogether clear as it were. There are still issues that affect the younger generation – immigration wouldn't be such a hot topic in the UK otherwise, since it is not just fuelled by the +70s. I hear plenty of comments around where we live about Poles, for instance, not speaking English etc. When people feel threatened, and fear what is happening, then there will always be them and us attitudes unfortunately, and someone identified to be the 'other'. Yes, so whereas the overt racism of the post war generation may not exist in the same way any longer, that still doesn't mean that racist (or extreme nationalist, which are much the same) attitudes don't exist in those that are younger.
10th November 2017 at 12:14 pm
Thanks Michael – another excellect comment.
Our next door City neighbours Zoltan and Margritte are Hungarian and have lived here for about four years now. When they arrived they could barely speak English, so we helped out as much as we could. Zoltan doesn't need Google translate any more, largely through working with and talking to English folks. They work nights cleaning banks and a chain of betting shops in the City: not easy stuff to do if you don't have the physicality or mindset for it.
Last Xmastime we were invited into their house by for a banquet of pork-filled cabbage leaves, loads of sides and slivovitz followed by a wonderful cake I have never tasted before or since. Coffee based and beautiful. They wouldn't accept our dogs – they don't like canines!
I spent some time working in France and Germany, as well as living in Spain off and on where the local folks were wonderful to me. Without exception.
It might sound a bit fluffy, but with so many wonderful people out there in the world I can only conclude that racists are d*ckheads.
10th November 2017 at 3:06 pm
I would only agree hugely with your last two comments Martin… and full credit to your hard working Hungarian neighbours who sound wonderful too. I have worked a lot in my life in both Africa and Asia (and more recently in the Middle East), and almost never have had negative remarks made to me on the basis of my colour. And that includes living in communities in Africa for a while where I was the only white person. Almost universally I was treated for who I was not what I was.
It would be a so much pleasanter world if we could all do that, like your Dad. But the growing inequality that exists in our world today – and in many ways people like Trump are just a symptom of that – will continue to promote and provoke divides. Nevertheless I do think that that means it matters even more how each one of us behaves individually, and the examples we set for those around us at home, in society and indeed as NCFC supporters, are as important now as they have ever been.
And its good that you broached this topic Martin!!
10th November 2017 at 7:35 pm
Thanks again Michael – were I to comment on Donald Trump I think Editor Gary would lose patience with me, so it's best I don't!
10th November 2017 at 11:39 am
Good article, Martin, made much powerful by your honesty.
I agree with the thrust – but Michael D also has a (sadly) important point. The past couple of years have shown a nasty arrest in some of the progressive trends that I naively thought were irreversible.
I still think we're getting there Stewart, I really do.
I'm sure you're right, Martin. I've just been shocked at some of the trends (beyond football) of the past couple of years.
10th November 2017 at 11:41 am
I agree with you about the demographic most likely to be racist, and it's a couple of decades since I've heard any racism at football matches.
I do, however, remember being spat at and called a Catholic b*****d on the way to school as a 10 year old schoolboy in Norwich by kids 2 or 3 years older than me. I also remember getting abuse from fellow Barclayenders in the late 70s and early 80s for wearing Rock Against Racism and Anti Nazi League badges. The people giving the abuse were about the same age as me; they seemed to be ok with the people selling National Front literature outside the ground (as did the police and club stewards and officials).
I truly believe that the vast majority of the above people have either changed their mind through being better informed or stay away from football because they are no longer able to spout their filth. Football grounds are, by and large, free from overt racist action. There will always be one or two about, the present 70 somethings will be replaced by others, It's up to the rest of us to ensure that they know they are not welcome at Carrow Road or anywhere else.
10th November 2017 at 7:57 pm
Don I might be in a bit of cloud cuckoo here but I see and hear next to nothing racially offensive from our youngsters at The Carra.
A quick, poignant snap at a bigot is worth more than a report to a Steward imo.
My parentage gives me a theoretical choice of two religions – I have a preferance for one and when I'm in Spain, it's a joy to go with the flow.
Navidad in Llucmajor Mallorca is something that can only be appreciated with that type of blood flowing through the body. As is following Celtic.
10th November 2017 at 12:06 pm
I agree racism is getting there and it will be a better place without it.
In Robin article I commented about Kick it out and most of their comments being mainly on the negative side by highlighting abuse never on the good work to stop the abuse.
Another aspect is that it seems they only ever comment on the abuse made to the so called minority groups it seems being British and White you are immune to being abused and that it never happen, I jusr wonder if someone that is white took someone to court to court for racial abuse if the courts would take it serious at the moment the law is loaded all one way in racial abuse.
I grew up in Great Yarmouth of the 50's and 60's went to Greenacre school and at that time had 1 possibly 2 coloured pupils and 1 Jew boy by the name of Ronald Gants who was a long time friend I can't remember any of these getting picked on they were just accepted for who they were.
The first time I saw any major abuse was when the when the fights between the mods and rockers on the seafront mods were mixed but the rockers were white only and they went for the coloured mods, then it was at football grounds and that was a crazy time, Whilst in the RAF there was always an undercurrent of Racism during training but on most camps it was jumped on.
Racism is a two way street any society that condones it is wrong but also we must except that whites get racial abuse as well, most educated people adhore it but at the poorer end of the scale it is imbred due to the standards of living conditions and the older generation teaching the younger generation their prejudices.
10th November 2017 at 2:53 pm
Nothing in the article or the comments made reference to the colour of the perpetrators, Don't let racists use the excuse that their racism is justifiable because some of the group they victimise may be equally odious.
10th November 2017 at 3:12 pm
I agree and if you took my comments that way I am sorry, were ever you read about racism it is perceived as being against the minority or small races that now call the UK their home.
My wife's father was polish and came over during the war with a lot of his countrymen and other from all over Europe stayed here and settled in very well it only seems in the last few years with the new wave of Europeans come over that the abuse has started.
I was trying to say Racism has no boundaries or colour and it should be stamped on wherever it pops it ugly head up.
I think a lot of the issue stems from a lack of integration and naivity. 40 odd years of Norfolk experience has seen a radical shift from when I was at school in the 80's to now. Quite literally I had not met anyone non-white out side of Harlestons Chinese restaurant and other ethnic restuarants around Norwich. Junior and High school not one minority in all my years!
My parents were well travelled so they didn't, but if they had told me that anyone from outside Norfolk was a devil sent to steal my soul I might have believed it for a time. It is difficult to overcome lazy steroetyping, when you have no experience to the contrary. As a consequence, racist jokes and attitudes were not something I questioned greatly until I got further afield. Though much like Martin's Dad my dad certainly didn't encourage such attitudes, but its hard to offend or empathise with someone who you never meet.
I now live in the Midlands and whilst far more ethnically diverse as a region, make no mistake, racism is alive and well even in some younger generations. Communities are still quite segregated and whilst that remains Racism will continue to exist. my local pub might be a prime example. I live in a decent area and drink in what I consider the nicest pub locally, the people are certainly less rough and ready than a couple of other pubs that are cheaper in the near vacinity. but recently a group of I think about 8 Sikhs came in and I was shocked at some muttered comments and the darts froze in mid-air sort of atmosphere that seemed to suddenly decend on the place. And it wasn't just the olduns either!
On another occation a conversation started up about a nearby market town where a guy had been working, his assertion that the locals were all sick to there eye teeth of eastern europeans was eye openning but more in a causation sense. These guys were regularly siting in the town centre drinking strong lager and it led to a percieved intimidatory atmosphere. I think it is fair to dislike a group because of their behavior but I'm not going to judge good professional people from eastern Europe who I have worked with by their standards because every; ethnicity, nationality has its wronguns. But bad people from within a smaller community can tarnish a reputation far too easily.
On this point our press have a lot to answer for, it seems rather to easy to smear and degrade Muslims in general on account of the few bad ones. the mail in particular has a real hardon for demonising them to sell papers.
In the end poverty and niavity will ensure racism stays alive for many years/generations to come, There simply isnt any political will to sort out the mess created by massed immigration without any sort of integration strategy and its no coincidence that the poorest who get most exposed to the rapid change are the most likely to keep racism alive.
10th November 2017 at 3:14 pm
You make some very good comments here too General M, especially in your last couple of paragraphs. And I won't touch the Daily M any longer, even when free at airports. It has as you say become more than just a bad newspaper, and that certainly is not helpful to all those who would like to help encourage better integrated local societies. The spirit and togetherness of the purple volunteers of the London Olympics was a high point in our recent history that we have receded some way from sadly in the last couple of years. It would be good for City to do more to try and recapture some of that spirit.
10th November 2017 at 4:45 pm
Another wonderful post comes along. Thanks, General.
I had the privilege of working with a Sikh Indian guy aka Gurdip Singh Alluwallah at a place on St Albans Road in Watford, Herts. He did not wear a turban, sported a pretty bashed up suit like me for work and also helped to organise the "Asian Games" for his local community at the nearby Watford Leisure Centre, as it was known around 1995. He invited me to take part in the Games outside of working hours and I was delighted to play in goal for our 5-o-s team.
I was no way the only "English" guy there – Gurd and his mates had plenty of non-stereotypical "English" friends who were happy to join in, and they certainly did, just like me.
Most Sikh men like a beer too – and the food at the nearby after tournament venue was utterly wonderful, it really was.
Experiences like that are all too few. Racists: long walk, short plank.
10th November 2017 at 3:43 pm
Good stuff Martin, and bookends my piece, which was largely about the fact that racism is starting to rear its head to some extent amongst younger fans who think its cool to be part of a "firm" like the FLA and so could get sucked into the sort of areas that bottom feeders like the EDL inhabit.
Interesting to hear you wrote for Rock against Racism, an organisation that I supported as much as I could while a student and beyond. Some great gigs too!
10th November 2017 at 7:18 pm
Yes Robin – Paul Weller was in the vanguard of that movement (R against R) as I remember.
The Jam, the Specials, even Thin Lizzy and many others I've long forgotten.
When I played in the Harlow League we often had a 3pm ko on a Saturday, so the pub was not really on the menu.
I used to play alongside Kenny A and Andy C – we'd sit playing cards at Kenny's for a few pence a hand until it was time to drive to the game – that part of it was always down to me as I could afford a car while they couldn't.. Ken incessantly described how his elder brother had persuaded him to join the National Front. He was so gutted about it Andy and I simply couldn't shut him or his conscience up.
He felt so guilty but he didn't have to apologise to us. He'd been in and came out.the other side.
The East London-Essex boundary area was a funny old place in those days.
Thanks for writing the original piece – wouldn't it be great if neither of us had to do so again.
10th November 2017 at 7:06 pm
Interesting range of views here. Important these discussions are in the open.
Robin, if you attended a Rock Against Racism gig at UEA (Misty in Roots were the headliners) circa 1978, I claim credit (along with other forward thinking mates of course).
10th November 2017 at 8:06 pm
I saw Misty in Roots at Chalk Farm Roundhouse (London) about that time. VERY loud bass, very big ole whiff of weed.
I think they opened up for Steel Pulse?
11th November 2017 at 1:39 pm
Sadly not Robin, but I saw them several times elsewhere and loved them!

Johhny Howson's greatest hits says
10th November 2017 at 7:34 pm
Hey y'all, been a while since I busted these boards with some mighty midfield moves. Just like to say that the website is lookin' good and the comments are much easier to read than they were before. I'm not sure that I've ever read such broad minded stuff. It has changed my perspective on how I think of and consider my home county.
Reading the comments posted on a whole range of Archant articles, I generally despair at consuming such xenophobic tripe. I'm surprised that no one yet goes by the name of 'Nigel Farage' or 'The Daily Mail says' . Actually that last one has got some potential for some errant rookie; anyways.' my previous experience of trying to discuss such subjects with football friends has generally been met with looks of incredulity, confusion or with sniggers. Conversely, if I ever meet an intellectual and start to discuss football, yawning typically ensues. Finally, I feel less alone in a disturbed world of toupees and golf courses.
It is wonderfully rare these days to hear blatantly racist views expressed at football matches unless you venture to Wembley [apologies to those of you who may be closet Tottenham fans] or Stamford Bridge. and if you happen to live north of Watford, then surely large parts of Yorkshire. Peel the onion skin back far enough, then profound ignorance is a kernel that never quite seems to disappear in some societies. Like a well earned pimple, the puss seems to collect at certain events, one of which will be kicking off at the hallowed turf in less than an hour. Yet even there, healing is afoot. There will be a temporary statue to commemorate the camararderie that existed between England and Germany during the Yuletide football matches; an indication perhaps that intelligence runs deeper than hatred and, given the right conditions, will heel the scars which some insist on picking at. Both sides wearing poppies too.
And there was me thinking I knew everything and simultaneously finding out that Sikhs drink in pubs. I still can't quite believe it. It reminds me of that Sikh guy and his mates who went down to repair that pub on the Somerset levels when they'd been completely flooded out. I'm certain that that man changed that Landlord's whole life and world view. Can't remember the chap's name, but definitely worth a watch if you can track it down and if you have seen it, you'll know what I'm rabbiting on about. Well, enjoy one or other of the games if you can and make sure to watch whatever it is that Shearer has to say on heading footballs. Dementia, another of the game's taboos. What next I wonder? Hang on, muse coming…'The relationship between post modernism, Ron Davies, Dylan Thomas and Welsh nationalism in contemporary Norfolk society'. The challenge is on…..

$60 a Barrel? Sell Big Oil! -- The Motley Fool
OPEC and Big Oil are digging themselves a trap.
Yesterday, we looked at the auto majors' plans to rapidly ramp up their offerings of hybrid gas-electric vehicles over the next three years. These plans have a couple of underpinnings. First and foremost, the guys over in Detroit smell profits -- not diesel fumes -- in the news of how popular hybrids such as Honda's (NYSE:HMC) Civic and Toyota's (NYSE:TM) Prius have become. And it's whetting their appetite for a piece of the hybrid pie.
But a second component to the story is one we're all seeing in the news, and at the pumps, every day -- oil prices topped $50 days ago and, despite the odd weak day, seem headed nowhere but up. That's great news for investors in Big Oil's brand names -- Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), ChevronTexaco (NYSE:CVX), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) -- but for how long?
Think about it, people. The higher the price for any product, the lower the demand. Some products -- such as gasoline -- have pretty inelastic demand curves, granted. But ultimately, if you raise the price of any product high enough, people will begin to cut back on their consumption. And vicariously, that's exactly what Detroit (and its Japanese competitors) are doing for American oil consumers. By making fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles a viable option for car buyers, "Big Auto" has started America along a trend curve toward reducing our demand for Big Oil's gasoline.
Investors should take note of the trend. Over time, sales of hybrid vehicles will rise; consequently, sales of gasoline will stagnate or fall. How big of a trend will this be, and how much could it affect Big Oil? Big, and a lot. Let's look at some numbers:
A recent study done by consulting firm Booz Allen predicts that within five years, 20% of the cars on America's roads could be hybrids; within a decade, the percentage could reach 80%. Two popular hybrids now on the market that have nonhybrid analogs -- the Ford (NYSE:F) Escape and Honda Civic -- get as much as 50% better gas mileage than their nonhybrid counterparts. America currently accounts for 40% of worldwide gasoline sales. Multiply those numbers -- 20% x 50% x 40% -- and worldwide gasoline consumption could slow by 4% over the next five years and by 16% over the next decade. Sure, absolute consumption will rise to fight this trend as new car buyers are born and put more cars on the road. But the more time goes by, the greater the chance that those new cars will be hybrids themselves.

Plunged into darkness for 155 days a year, it's fair to say that the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen has never been the most comfortable place to live. But with climate change affecting the town to a disproportionate extent, life is becoming increasingly difficult for the residents of this beautiful little town.
