Canberra, February 14th, 2019. –In an official ceremony held at the Government House in Canberra, the Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove, received the letters of credence of Ariel Lorenzo Rodríguez as the new Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to that country.
The Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Cuba condemns the escalation of pressures and actions of the US government in preparation for a military adventure under the guise of a humanitarian intervention in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and calls on the international community to mobilize in order to prevent its consummation.

Pakistan to try to succeed the highest of its kind to test the chase fell 39 runs short in Brisbane, but with a remarkable awakening Pakistan was able to end the game on a high note while creating many records.
Chasing the giant of 490 goal, and threw Pakistan for 450 runs on the fifth day of the opening Test at the Gabba. This is the highest 4TH TOTAL Pakistan roles and also the highest innings total 4TH who scored in any ground in Australia.
The highest total roles 4TH ever of 645 England against South Africa in the Eternal test in 1939. The total higher 4TH roles in a match lasted five days is 451, so Pakistan fell just one run short of another unique record of their credit.
Pakistan lost the match by 39 runs, which is the second narrowest defeat for the team, while chasing a target of more than 450 runs. New Zealand, in 1973, fell 38 runs short while chasing a target of 479 runs against England.
Shafiq al-Assad scored brilliant 137 runs in the chase Pakistan – 4TH highest individual innings score by the number six batsman in test cricket. This is also 4TH 5TH highest individual score Pakistan innings by any batsman to play in any position. Earlier, al-Assad and also surpassed Sir Gary Sobers scoring play him in the 9th century stand 6TH – more than any player in the batting number six.
The result Shafiq al-Assad is now Pakistan’s top batsman in the 4th innings of a test outside Asia, surpassing Asif Iqbal 135 against the West Indies at Kingston in 1976 to 1977.
This was also the first time a team 50+ runs added to the partnerships from 7.8 9TH wickets in the chase in the test match.
Pakistan battle to chase the huge target of 490 runs lasted 145 amounts. This is the longest and Pakistan hit (in terms of amounts) in the 4th innings of the test match (previous best of Pakistan was 137.5 amounts versus Australia in Melbourne in 1990).
However, this was also the 10TH consecutive defeat Pakistan Test in Australia – more than any team in any country away. India and the West Indies lost both nine consecutive Tests in Australia, 1948-1977 and 2000-2009, respectively.

EOF - Markets in Three Dimensions
Old analog televisions had controls called horizontal and vertical. One kept the picture from falling over sideways, while the other kept the picture from sliding off the top or the bottom of the screen.
I think we need similar controls in our heads when we look at the product categories we call markets.
In the world of free software and open source, we mostly care about the horizontal: creating code, standards and other means for expanding markets sideways, toward the horizons. We work to keep both developers and users free from capture in the vertical markets we call silos, so they can do more stuff in more ways. We don't often ask “Where would we be without silos?” because we know. We would be free to build and use anything we want, out in the market's wide-open spaces.
Still, innovation happens in silos too. Many of the technical graces we take for granted would not have happened outside the walls of silos built by Apple, Canon, IBM, Intel, Sony and other large companies with ample and hardened intellectual property portfolios. Linux itself was developed originally (and still primarily) for Intel's x86 CPUs. Much of what we take for granted in chips from Intel and other makers is thick with intellectual property protections we would hate to see applied to our own software work. Every large maker of original electronic products (including all the companies listed above) produces between dozens and thousands of new patents every year, adding to portfolios that muscle licensing income and deals of many other kinds. Occasionally, companies do battle in court, but most of the time the dealing is quiet. If revealed, it is only through pro forma small-print disclosures in documentation.
What matters is that these portfolios give large makers the confidence and security they feel is required to produce original and appealing goods for which there is little or no competition. This is an ideal to which Apple, for example, constantly aspires. Back in 1997, not long after Steve Jobs returned to lead Apple after a long interregnum, he killed off cloners of the company's computers. Here's what I wrote about it at the time in an e-mail to Dave Winer (which Dave later published):
To Steve, clones are the drag of the ordinary on the innovative. All that crap about cloners not sharing the cost of R&D is just rationalization. Steve puts enormous value on the engines of innovation. Killing off the cloners just eliminates a drag on his own R&D, as well as a way to reposition Apple as something closer to what he would have made the company if he had been in charge through the intervening years....
Now Steve is back, and gradually renovating his old company. He'll do it his way, and it will once again express his Art.
These things I can guarantee about whatever Apple makes from this point forward:
It will be original.
It will be innovative.
It will be exclusive.
It will be expensive.
Its aesthetics will be impeccable.
The influence of developers, even influential developers like you, will be minimal. The influence of customers and users will be held in even higher contempt.
The iPod, iPhone and iPad each not only fulfilled all six of those requirements, but also redefined their market categories in the vertical dimension. That is, they grew the range of things that could be done with a given device, and the size of its marketplace. The iPhone in particular redefined the smartphone market and enlarged it far beyond the narrow range of possibilities allowed by combinations of mobile phone makers and mobile phone companies. New kinds of applications by the thousands burst out of the ground like a geyser. But all are contained inside Apple's silo, where they move only through the company's sphinctered approval and sales processes.
In fact, far more can be done on Linux (notably Android) and Symbian OSes than on iPhone's, just given the open nature of the former and the closed nature of the latter. But, thanks to Apple, there is much more to imagine doing outside that company's closed and private silo.
This is the point at which some suggest that open-source goods are derivative, rather than original. But that's not the case. We still happen to live in a time when investment in closed, and original stuff is greater than investment in the open and original kind. As long as that's still the case, we'll have the Apples of the world aiming for the heights while the rest of us build out the widths and the depths that characterize wide-open marketplaces.

However, is this CIO is really as in control of the situation as he thinks? If his experience is in line with what I have heard from CIO’s at similar enterprises, then he may well be blind sighted. For example, many businesses find that while their centralized governance processes are effective at improving security, there may also be some unintended consequences. While the CIO directs his team to implement policies to monitor the flow of information between internal users, customer, and partners, there may be some people in the company who are undermining his efforts. Tighter control at the corporate level may lead to longer approval processes for IT resources. And departments that need to complete a project quickly have never been very patient. As a result, developers and business unit analysts are leveraging cloud delivery models for quick and cost effective access to computing resources even if it means bypassing CIO instituted governance policies. Right now, the usage of cloud computing is small and is not impacting security or the expense structure in any significant way. However, I expect that as his company becomes more involved in cloud commuting this CIO will need to pay more attention to controlling the costs of cloud services and the management of cloud security.
Controlling costs. Cloud computing is fundamentally about the economics of delivering IT resources in a cost efficient, elastic, and secure manner. But, the price per CPU for compute power or the price to bring the first five users onto a SaaS application is only one element of the overall economic equation. It can be so inexpensive to access public cloud resources to meet short-term requirements that it is easy for users to enter a corporate credit card number and move ahead with the project. But, over time small projects can grow larger or take longer to complete than expected. For example, a software development team has a tight deadline to evaluate the performance of a new application prior to an upcoming sales promotion. One of the developers uses a corporate credit card to get the extra compute power needed for this short-term test and spends a lot less money and gets faster results than by requesting additional resources from his company’s data center. Job completed. Deadline met. Cost low. However, what happens when the application requires additional testing under various scenarios and goes into production? The initial payment to Amazon may have gone unnoticed, but when the development team’s use of cloud resources expands significantly the CFO and the CEO suddenly start to ask a lot of questions.
Security. CIO’s identify security concerns as one of the top reasons why they are cautious about cloud computing. In addition to checking out the security policies of the cloud vendors under their control, CIO’s worry that you may be accessing cloud-based services without their approval. One big area of concern is the increasing use of social networking applications accessed on mobile devices and used with little or no distinction between business and personal usage. For example, you may use LinkedIn to get help from a business contact to close a deal and Twitter and facebook to connect with friends and clients. For many people, there are few boundaries between business and personal conversations conducted in the cloud and this has some CIO worried about security and compliance issues.
The bottom Line. Unfortunately, these issues and concerns are not going away any time soon. In fact, I expect that the level of oversight will only increase. The CIO will be called to task if various departments begin relying on cloud services for various mission critical projects without any oversight. This is only the tip of the iceberg. And I suspect this is going to be a big iceberg.

Lawsuit takes aim at protections passed by school board
|Mark Procopio, Executive Director of FreeState Justice|
Kaden is a 27 year-old transgender man (FTM) who works in Frederick, Md. As part of the transgender student-led “Support FCPS [Frederick County Public Schools] Trans Students” Facebook page , Kaden posted that trans people from all over the U.S. face difficult challenges, such as “violence towards the community, employment discrimination, bullying” among others.
He feels that these issues “stem from the mindset that trans people are the ‘other’ and maybe we don’t need to respect them or we can view them as inferior because they are different.”
Visibility, advocacy and education, says Kaden, are the keys for Frederick residents to support their transgender neighbors. This is especially important for transgender students.
To help foster this visibility as well as educate the public and build support, the “Support FCPS Trans Students” Facebook page has served as a platform to launch a campaign last spring called #IAmFrederick. The effort is aimed at bringing together trans students, family members, and allies to work towards better safe schools for transgender students.

Kaden is among a diverse group of people—trans students, allies, family members, educators and counselors—who have participated in this campaign on both Facebook and Instagram whereby supporters are photographed holding up a certificate labeled #IAmFrederick and underneath write why they support trans youth.
This alliance successfully lobbied the Frederick Board of Education for Policy 443, a policy which would protect trans and gender non-conforming students by affirming their student rights. More specifically, the policy allows students to choose the restroom based on their gender identity as well as participate in sports that are consistent with their gender identity. It would also allow students the opportunity to room with others according to their gender identity. The Board saw to it that privacy rights for all students are protected.
With overwhelming community support, Policy 443 was approved in June.
“This policy, one of the most affirming of any county school system in the state, protects students from bullying, supports student privacy, and ensures that Frederick schools are safe and welcoming for all students,” said Mark Procopio, Executive Director of FreeState Justice, a legal advocacy organization that seeks to improve the lives of low-income LGBT Marylanders. “It is a great victory for the student leaders who led the effort.”

As I reported in the Washington Blade in August, a federal lawsuit in response to this action was filed in the District Court of Maryland by a 15-year-old girl under the pseudonym Mary Smith, and her mother, identified as Jane Doe against the Frederick County Board of Education and Superintendent Theresa Alban.
The lawsuit argues that the policy approved by the Frederick County Board of Education violates the girl’s fundamental right to bodily privacy, and her mother’s fundamental parental rights regarding the care and upbringing of her child.
The content of the complaint is filled with vitriolic hype that lacks a basic understanding of what it means to be transgender.
For example, the suit’s language compares the School Board to a totalitarian regime and likens the School Board’s adopted policy to “child pornography” and “Nazi death camps.” It also specifically maligns the sexual orientation of a School Board member.
It must be pointed out that the attorney representing the plaintiff, Daniel L. Cox, Esq. of the Emmitsburg, Md.-based Cox Law Center admits to be affiliated with the ADF—The Alliance Defending Freedom . That fact is stated on the firm’s website. (See image below.)
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society, the Alliance Defending Freedom has been identified as a national anti-LGBT hate group.
SPLC states that the Alliance Defending Freedom “supported the recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S. and criminalization abroad; has defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad; has linked homosexuality to pedophilia and claims that a ‘homosexual agenda’ will destroy Christianity and society.”
Undaunted, allies and advocates are determined to see that the policy is upheld.
“Every child in Frederick County Schools deserves a welcoming and safe environment to learn,” says FreeState Justice’s Mark Procopio. “Policy 443 ensures that transgender students are protected from bullying and harassment and guards the privacy of all students. It should be defended vigorously against this frivolous suit.”
|Plaintiff's graphic on Frederick social media|
The Board of Directors of The Frederick Center, a non-profit organization that serves the LGBTQ community in Central Maryland, weighed in as well with the following statement:
“[Members of] The Frederick Center Board of Directors were dismayed to learn of the lawsuit filed [in August] by Jane Doe in an attempt to block the implementation of FCPS Policy 443. Policies like 443 greatly benefit our Transgender community through its affirmation of their identity. The claims in the filing against the Board of Education appear to be baseless and desperate attempt to continue allowing discrimination in our schools and against our children.”
From FreeState Justice, Maryland's leading LGBT advocacy group:
Today, a Frederick County transgender student filed a motion to defend his school board’s policies that seek to prevent discrimination, harassment, and stigmatization of transgender and gender nonconforming students in the school system, and that seek to ensure students are free to use school facilities in accordance with their gender identity. He is represented by FreeState Justice, the ACLU, and the ACLU of Maryland.
The student filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in which a non-transgender student seeks to overturn the Frederick County School Board’s policy protections for transgender students.
The school board’s policies, adopted in June 2017, were welcomed by community members from all over Frederick County. James van Kuilenburg, an honor student at Governor Thomas Johnson High School and the transgender student who moved to intervene today, explained that the policies “gave me the ability to finally be myself and access all parts of my education.”
The lawsuit against the Frederick County School Board was filed anonymously by a non-transgender student and her mother who claim that allowing transgender students restroom and locker room access infringes upon student privacy rights. However, the only privacy violation alleged in the plaintiff’s complaint is by a non-transgender student. The lawsuit also seeks to invalidate policies preventing harassment, and protecting the confidentiality and privacy of transgender students.
In the wake of the lawsuit, the Frederick County group “Support FCPS Trans Students” has started a social media campaign #IAmFrederick to show support for their transgender classmates.
According to van Kuilenberg, reversal of the policies would be “devastating.” “There is an epidemic of trans students feeling unsafe, depressed, and suicidal,” he explained, and a removal of the policies in place to protect them would “create a culture of fear and misunderstanding.”
“It’s important that trans students are given the opportunity to defend themselves against these shameful attempts to isolate and stigmatize them,” said Gabriel Arkles, senior staff attorney at the ACLU LGBT & HIV Project. He added, “Schools can and should provide extra privacy protections or private restroom or changing areas for any student who requests it. But no student has a right to demand that transgender students be segregated from their peers.”
“The Frederick County School Board did the right thing: they created policies that affirm and respect their students’ gender identity.” said Jennifer Kent, Managing Attorney of FreeState Justice, “We intend to vigorously defend these policies in the interests of our client and affected students in Frederick County Public Schools.”
Said ACLU of Maryland Senior Staff Attorney David Rocah, “Everyone seeking an education, including those who are transgender like James, should be treated fairly and equally under the law. Frederick is joined by hundreds of school districts around the country that allow transgender students to use school facilities based on their gender identity. These policies include transgender students as equal members of the school community while still protecting the privacy of all students.”
Counsel on the motion to intervene also include Leslie Cooper and Gabriel Arkles of the ACLU, David Rocah, and Nick Steiner of the ACLU of Maryland and John Hayes, Brian Whittaker, and Kenneth Nichols of the law firm Nixon Peabody, LLP.

February 11, 2017
The US administration of Donald Trump has blocked the appointment of Salam Fayyad, the former Palestinian prime minister, to a senior United Nations post in a decision Palestinian officials said was based solely on his nationality.
Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, announced the decision on Friday, saying that Washington was disappointed by a letter written by António Guterres, secretary-general, supporting Mr Fayyad as the world body’s envoy to Libya.
Mr Fayyad, 64, who served as prime minister of the Palestinian Authority from 2007 to 2013, had been due to replace Germany’s Martin Kobler in the role.
“For too long the UN has been unfairly biased in favour of the Palestinian Authority to the detriment of our allies in Israel,” Ms Haley said. “The United States does not currently recognise a Palestinian state or support the signal this appointment would send within the United Nations, however, we encourage the two sides to come together directly on a solution.”
She added: “Going forward the United States will act, not just talk, in support of our allies.”
The decision to block Mr Fayyad’s candidacy brought an angry response from Ramallah, where one senior official described it as “a case of blatant discrimination on the basis of national identity”.
“It defies logic that the appointment of the most qualified candidate is blocked because it is perceived as detrimental to Israel,” Hanan Ashrawi said in a statement on Saturday. “It constitutes a blanket licence for the exclusion of Palestinians everywhere.”
Ms Ashrawi, who is a member of the executive council of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, the Palestinians’ political umbrella group, said that Mr Fayyad was “a person of the highest standards of professionalism and integrity”.
During his tenure as prime minister, Mr Fayyad gained respect among foreign donors, including the US, as a technocrat and reformer in a Palestinian Authority dogged by persistent allegations of corruption.
”We hope that saner voices will prevail and that the US will take back this irrational and discriminatory decision immediately and not deprive the UN of such a highly qualified individual,” Ms Ashrawi said. “Rather, they should block petty acts of bigotry and vindictiveness and the further victimisation of the Palestinian people for the mere fact of their existence.”
The US decision will fuel further speculation about the Trump administration’s policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week.
Palestinians and pro-peace Israelis have voiced fears that the new president, who has named hardline pro-Israel figures among his advisers on the region, will tilt heavily toward Israel in the unresolved conflict.
In an interview published on Friday with Israel Hayom, the pro-Netanyahu newspaper, Mr Trump said that he thought the US would have “a better relationship” with Israel now, and said he had “good chemistry” with Mr Netanyahu, who he described as a “good man”.
The US president voiced subdued criticism of Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, where Mr Netanyahu’s rightwing government has moved forward with plans to build more than 6,000 new homes since the Trump administration took office on January 20.
“They [settlements] don’t help the process. I can say that,” Mr Trump said. “And every time you take land for settlements, there is less land left.”
However, he said that Israel “has had a long history of condemnation and difficulty”, and he did not “want to be condemning Israel.”
I understand Israel very well, and I respect Israel a lot, and they have been through a lot,” he said “I would like to see peace and beyond that. And I think that peace for Israel would be a good thing for the Israeli people, not just a good thing, a great thing.”
Mr Trump has named Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, as an envoy to the Middle East, with a brief to broker a peace deal. The last round of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations broke down in 2014.

RFC 19: Migrate project repository from svn to git¶
Migrating from Subversion to git and in the process also switch from Trac to github.
(Credit: Inspired by MapServer’s RFC 84 at: http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-84.html)
While svn suits our needs as a collaborative source code version management system, it has shortcomings that make it difficult to work with for developpers working on multiple tasks in parallel. Git’s easy branching makes it possible to set up branches for individual task, isolating code changes from other branches, thus making the switch from one task to another possible without the risk of loosing or erroneously commiting work-in-progress code. Three-way merging of different branches means that merging code from one branch to another becomes a rapid task, by only having to deal with actual conflicts in the code. Offline committing and access to entire history make working offline possible.
There is already somewhat of a consensus that the migration from svn to git is a good move. Discussion remains as to how this transition should be performed. This RFC outlines the different options available for hosting the official repository, and the different options available for our ticket tracking.
Current investigation has retained two majors options that we could go down with:
- Repository migrated to github, use github provided issue tracking. This option will be referred to as “Github hosting”.
- Repository hosted by EOX, current trac instance migrated to hook on the new repository. This option will be referred to as “EOX hosting”
This option consists in moving our entire code+ticket infrastructure to github. The current trac instance becomes nearly read-only, new tickets cannot be created on it. Existing tickets are migrated to github with a script taking a trac postgresql dump (once the migration starts, our trac instance becomes read-only).
- Code hosting:
- No need to worry about hosting infrastructure
- Can be up and running with a short delay
- Support for pull requests, allowing external contributions to be rapidly merged into our repository
- Online code editing for quick fixups
- Github visualization tools, for example to check which branches are likely to contain conflicting code sections
- Code and patch commenting make collaboratively working on a given feature very lightweight, i.e. just add your comment on the code line which seems problematic to you
- Documentation contributions highly simplified for one-shot contributions
- Issue tracking:
- Integration of ticket state with commit messages (e.g: “fix mem allocation in mapDraw(), closes issue #1234
- Email replies to ticket notifications
- The free-form label tagging of issues might open up some interesting usages
- Versionned text-base attachments (gists), with commenting
- Hosting by a private company, which might become an issue if their TOS evolve or if they go out of business. The source code availability is not an issue as is possible to maintain a mirror on any server, and each developer has a checkout of the full source control history. Ticket migration would be an issue, but there are APIs available to extract existing tickets.
- Issue tracker is in some ways less feature full than trac. The only hard coded attributes are the assignee and the milestone. All the other triaging information goes into free formed labels, a la gmail.
- No way to automatically assign a ticket owner given a component
- No support for image attachments, can be referenced by url but must be hosted elsewhere.
- No support for private security tickets
- Administering committer access will be done through github, old credentials do not apply. Git does not support fine-grained commit permissions per directory, there will be a separate repository for the docs to account for the larger number of committers there.
This document outlines a workflow for fixing bugs in our stable branches: http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Git_Workflow I believe it is a very good match for our stable release management:
- pick the oldest branch where the fix should be applied
- commit the fix to this oldest branch
- merge the old branch down to all the more recent ones, including master
Instead of freezing development during our beta cycle, a new release branch is created once the feature freeze is decided, and our betas, releases and subsequent bugfix releases are tagged off of this branch. Bug fixes are committed to this new stable branch, and merged into master. New features can continue to be added to master during all the beta phase. http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ is an interesting read even if it does not fit our stable release branches exactly.
Upgrade path for svn users¶
For those users who do not wish to change their workflow and continue with svn commands. This is not the recommended way to work with git, as local or remote changes might end up in having conflicts to resolve, like with svn.
Checkout the project
git clone firstname.lastname@example.org:EOX-A/eoxserver
git pull origin master
git add [list of files] git commit -m “Commit message” git push origin master
Fix a bug in a branch, and merge the fix into master
git checkout feature-branch git add [list of files] git commit -m “Commit message” git push origin feature-branch git checkout master git merge feature-branch git push origin master
- import svn to git
- assign github users
- split into sub-projects:
- document release process
- migrate website scripts
- switch trac site to read-only
|Motion:||Adopted on 2013-05-15 with +1 from Stephan Meißl, Fabian Schindler, and Martin Paces|

Princeton Protestors, Experts at State House Press Peace Agenda
“NO U.S. WAR ON VENEZUELA!”: About 30 demonstrators gathered on Nassau Street in Palmer Square Monday afternoon, calling for a prohibition on unauthorized military action in Venezuela. Earlier in the day Princeton physicists Zia Mian and Frank von Hippel and Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) Executive Director the Rev. Robert Moore testified in Trenton in support of an anti-nuclear Assembly resolution sponsored by Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker. (Photo by Anna Savoia)
By Donald Gilpin
Calling for the option of U.S. military intervention to be taken off the table completely in Venezuela, about 30 demonstrators gathered on Nassau Street in Palmer Square on Monday, carrying signs reading “No U.S. War in Venezuela!”
The event, sponsored by the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) in collaboration with Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), started at 5 p.m. and lasted about an hour.
Demonstrators urged passers-by to write to members of Congress asking them to sponsor the Prohibiting Unauthorized Military Action in Venezuela Act. They also distributed fliers, which stated: “The U.S. is trying to overthrow the Maduro government with military threats, economic warfare, and diplomatic isolation. But the solutions for the problems in Venezuela are for the Venezuelans to decide. The peace movement must oppose U.S. intervention and support a resolution through peaceful dialogue!”
CFPA Executive Director the Rev. Robert Moore applauded the collaboration with the DSA, which he called “an important force for progressive causes.” He added, “It’s important to seek synergy and do activities collaboratively. We all need each other.”
Earlier in the day Moore, along with Princeton University physicists and nuclear weapons experts Zia Mian and Frank von Hippel, testified in support of anti-nuclear Resolution 230 at a hearing before the New Jersey State Assembly Science, Innovation, and Technology Committee.
Resolution 230, which urges the federal government to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and pursue other measures to reduce the danger of nuclear war, passed the committee, which Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker chairs. He will be requesting that it go before the full Assembly later this month.
“As a scientist who has colleagues who work on nuclear nonproliferation issues, this is a topic that deeply, deeply concerns me,“ Zwicker said. “I’m aware of the horrible destruction, devastation, loss of life, and change of environment that would occur if anyone were to use nuclear weapons.”
He continued, “Also I’ve been frustrated by the partisan gridlock in Congress. As a state legislator I felt an obligation to try to do something. I’m working with world-renowned colleagues, Mian and von Hippel. Highlighting the importance of our country entering into a treaty that calls for the abolition of nuclear weapons is critical.”
Moore noted that “arms control has taken a turn south, undermined by the Trump administration. There are definitely alarm bells going off in the expert community, and they should be going off in the general community.”
Moore pointed out that Resolution 230, even if it passes the full Assembly later this month, is not binding. “But it’s valuable in generating grass roots democracy,” he said, “using the tools of democracy as an engine to advocate for disarmament and peace.”

Casio Forester - Time for a New Battery
My Casio Forester finally gave up the ghost. It needs a new battery. That could be a problem because I found the battery on my last one difficult to change. You can read about that in my Casio Forester review:
Fortunately, the Casio Forester watch is quite inexpensive and after two and half years I can probably just get a new one. Plus, the crystal on mine has a minor scuff.
Casio Forester (Back Plate)
This watch has been a good one for all sorts of little adventures from the swamps of Florida to walking our dog along a wooded path. I highly recommend it. I just wish I could change the battery smoothly.

Not long after we got married, Seth found Lily on Petfinder and sent me her picture. He sent it six times that day. "How about this one?" He kept saying, showing me that same photo over and over. Any self-respecting dog lover couldn't resist.
Lily, the laziest, hard working dog there is. Sometimes she loves accompanying me to the farm. Sometimes it's a battle of wills to get her in the car. We've been through a lot as the three musketeers: moves, mold, career changes, cancer, the tiny house, and now the baby.
We're not the type to celebrate dog birthdays, but I did want to give a shout out to the sweetest dog on the block, eight years almost to the day we brought her home. She has matured into a lovable beast, smart as a whip, with eyes that seem human. Especially when she gives the baby side-eye! Lily runs to the baby now when she starts crying so she can lick her face, and will allow Addie to mess with her back legs and paws, but not her front. She seems resigned to sharing us with this puppy-like human.
Eight is a lot in dog years for a dog her size. And yet I can't start thinking about her leaving us, not yet. It hasn't been enough time together. But I feel pretty confident in her staying with us a while longer. After all, the oldest dog who lived was an Australian Cattle Dog, and he achieved the age of almost 30.
Do you hear that, Lily-bil? We have another 22 years before us. Party on, my sweet puppy girl.

RAID in Web Hosting
All the content that you upload to your new web hosting account will be placed on fast SSD drives which operate in RAID-Z. This setup is built to use the ZFS file system that runs on our cloud hosting platform and it adds another level of security for your content on top of the real-time checksum verification that ZFS uses to guarantee the integrity of the data. With RAID-Z, the data is stored on a couple of disks and at least 1 is a parity disk - whenever info is recorded on it, an additional bit is added, so in the event that any drive stops working for whatever reason, the integrity of the information can be verified by recalculating its bits in accordance with what is kept on the production hard drives and on the parity one. With RAID-Z, the operation of our system won't be interrupted and it'll continue functioning smoothly until the malfunctioning drive is replaced and the data is synced on it.
RAID in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The SSD drives that are used for holding any website content uploaded to the semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we offer operate in RAID-Z. This is a specific configuration where one or more disk drives are used for parity i.e. the system will include an additional bit to any data duplicated on this type of a disk drive. In case that a disk fails and is substituted with a new one, what info will be duplicated on the latter shall be a mix calculated between the data on the other drives and that on the parity one. This is done to ensure that the data on the new drive will be accurate. During the process, the RAID will continue operating normally and the problematic drive will not affect the adequate operation of your websites at all. Working with SSDs in RAID-Z is an outstanding addition to the ZFS file system which runs on our top-notch cloud platform in terms of preserving the integrity of your files because ZFS uses special digital identifiers called checksums to prevent silent data corruption.

Look, people, I don’t want to be all ‘I told you so, disabled people warned you!’ But we need to have a talk about disability and the Trump Administration, and how viewing the actions of the administration through a disability-specific lens predicted many of the things that came to pass. As, in fact, disabled people warned you that they would, but you choose to ignore, because first they come for disabled people, and no one noticed. As usual.
No like literally, one of Trump’s first actions was to set the wheels in motion to undermine the Affordable Care Act, a direct shot across the bow at disabled Americans, and people talking about it managed to bring up everything but disability. It was mindboggling and galling to see people bringing up every imaginable permutation of health care user except for the most blatantly obvious, like disabled people shouldn’t even be part of health policy in America.
It was galling to see a long litany of Trump nominees who had terrible disability records — and we warned people, we said ‘these people are dangerous,’ and we were often dismissed. The intense mobilising around Betsy DeVos didn’t happen because of her disability record, but because her family is sinking substantial resources into trying to destroy public education. Don’t think we didn’t notice that anyone addressing disability issues and DeVos did so in a sort of flip ‘oh, and’ kind of way — or from the perspective of parents appealing to concerns about the welfare of disabled children.
It was extremely frustrating to see Gorsuch’s record on disability overlooked in favour of his other (substantial) civil rights violations because it was a reminder, yet again, of the fact that disability is always left off the list. This isn’t about being petulant and whiny that my ‘pet issue’ wasn’t discussed in much of the criticism of Gorsuch that made its way through the public commons. This is about the fact that stances on disability policy can generally indicate that someone’s overall civil rights policy is something that needs to be more closely evaluated and questioned. A man who doesn’t think children have a right to free appropriate public education probably doesn’t think much of children’s welfare, of education, of racial disparities, of parenting.
I seethed with fury when Tom Price and Seema Verma sailed through hearings without virtually no comment from members of the public despite the clear and present threat they posed to the disability community. Again, disabled people warned that this was dangerous for them, but also for the general public. These are the people who are going to be in charge of administering health care policy in America, and all those people who suddenly crept out of the woodwork to oppose the American Health Care Act didn’t seem to care several weeks before when the Trump Administration was putting the wheels in motion to tear health care apart whether or not the reconciliation bill passed.
I could go on, but my point is this: Nearly every Trump nominee has had serious problems on disability, problems that indicated deeper underlying issues that made them fundamentally unfit for the positions they were nominated to fill. But no one seemed to care, even with the disability community saying ‘hey, this is bad for us, but also, it’s a civil rights disaster on a larger scale.’
We warned that the Trump Administration would go after our voting rights, and by extension those of other marginalised classes. It did. We warned that the Trump Administration would come for vital publicly-funded services that support the disability community, but also provide immeasurable good to low-income communities and other vulnerable groups across America. It did. We warned you. We warned you. We warned you.
The only thing that seems to come up in conversations about Trump and disability is the Kovaleski incident, in which Trump blatantly mocked an award-winning New York Times reporter who has a congenital impairment — and does not, incidentally, identify as disabled. At Bitch, I wrote about the pattern of behaviours surrounding that incident, in which Kovaleski’s name and humanity were erased by celebrities and commentators who wanted to leverage the incident to serve their political agenda, one in which disability is infantalised and disabled people need to be protected, advocated for.
People were all too eager to talk about ‘that time Trump mocked the disabled reporter’ but they refused to engage with the disability issues involved with his campaign, including the absence of disability rights in his platform and a number of campaign promises that boded ill for us. Apparently it was more important to rehash whether Donald Trump is mean to cripples than it is to talk about the policies he was promoting that would actually kill us. Again, this isn’t just about my pet issue — though we are 20 percent of the population so it’s not like we’re small potatoes, crisscrossing every marginalised social group in the United States, to boot. It’s about the fact that disability is, as I’ve said in a line that ended up being cut from a feature about these issues, the canary in the coal mine.
The thing about the canary in the coal mine is that you know something is wrong when it stops singing. But the voices of the disability community are so systematically ignored that you won’t notice when people stop singing, because you don’t pay any attention when we are singing. We are warning you, and you’re not listening.

This is the Best Homemade Eclairs Recipe ever! The pastry and frosting are made completely from scratch and the filling is absolutely to-die-for! Making this recipe is a labor of love, but it results in a delicious, elegant dessert that is perfect for every special occasion! Make-ahead and freezer-friendly!
This Best Eclairs Recipe is my husband’s favorite dessert of all time. His mom has been making these homemade Eclairs for over 45 years and when Ritch and I got married, she taught me how to make them too.
These Eclairs are good, like knock-your-socks-off delicious. But they are hard work! Making these for my husband is truly a labor of love. This eclairs recipe is really three recipes: one for the Choux pastry, one for the chocolate frosting and one for the eclair filling. We have the process down to a science, and I will be sharing it with you step-by-step.
I happily spend half a day making this eclairs recipe for Ritch because they bring him so much joy (just like these brownies are my love language)! We always work as a team, which makes the process faster and more fun! Plus, I love that this recipe is passed on from his mom. I always remind my kids that these are “Mema’s Eclairs” so that we always think of her when we make them, and will for the rest of our lives!
How to make Homemade Eclairs Recipe
There are three separate components that make this eclairs recipe:
- Pastry Filling.
- Pastry Puffs (Choux Pastry)
- Chocolate Frosting.
Since each part requires the use of a standing mixer, I have the process of making of these mini eclairs down to a science!
Make the Eclair Filling
This best eclairs recipe begins with making the pastry filling! Since involves chilling and whipping, it’s important to start with the filling first!
Mix milk & pudding
Begin by whisking together the milk and pudding mix, then letting it set up in the fridge for 5 minutes while you whip the whipping cream. Using a whisk ensures there are no clumps of pudding!
Whip the whipping cream
Next, add all the ingredients for the whipping cream into the bowl of your standing mixer and whip for about 60 seconds on high until stiff peaks form.
- A helpful tip: when you whip the whipping cream in your standing mixer, start by placing the mixing bowl in the refrigerator. A cold bowl aids in the whipping process immensely!
Mix the filling together!
After the pudding is set up and the cream is whipped, gently fold them together or stir on low speed in the mixer. Once they’re thoroughly combined, transfer the filling to a bowl (because we need to use the bowl of the mixer again), cover it and place it in the fridge while you make the rest of the eclairs recipe – the puffs and frosting!
2. Make the Puff Pastry (AKA: Choux Pastry)
Once the eclair filling is chilling in the fridge, it’s time to make the pastry shells (or puffs as we call them)! This Choux pastry is pretty straightforward, but can be a little finicky!
Make the panade
The first step in making Choux pastry is making a panade, which is just a starchy thickener. To do this, start by melting butter, salt and water together. Then add flour all at once and whip it with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball.
Cool the panade
Transfer it from the hot pan to the bowl of your standing mixer to cool. The panade needs to cool before the eggs are added so they don’t cook when they hit the hot dough!
Add the eggs
Once the dough is cooled, beat the eggs in one at a time. Then prepare to bake the pastry shells.
If the batter is too runny, don’t worry it can be fixed!
If the batter is not thick enough to hold its shape when piped, you will need to add more flour. I have had to adjust the amount of flour if my eggs are larger than normal and my batter comes out too thin! Add 1 TBS at a time as needed. The dough should be slightly runny, but still hold its shape when piped onto the pan.
Measure the Choux Pastry onto a greased baking sheet
You get to choose what shape you’d like to make the eclairs. Sometimes we pipe the filling into mini, oblong eclair shapes using a pastry bag and a wilton 1M decorating tip. I find it easiest to use a small (1 1/2 TBS) cookie scoop to just dollop a small amount of dough onto the greased baking sheet to make round eclairs! It’s really up to you!
Do NOT use parchment paper
Please do NOT use parchment paper to bake this eclair recipe. The eclair shells will stick to the parchment paper and will be a nightmare to remove!
Bake the Choux Pastry Shells
Bake the pastry shells until they are golden brown but not too dark (about 20-25 minutes). The yield in this recipe really depends on the size you make the shells. We get between 30 and 50. When we make larger (about 2 TBS per shell) round eclairs we get about 30, when we make smaller mini eclairs (about 1 TBS per pastry puff) we get about 50-60!
After they are finished baking, remove them to a wire rack to cool. The shells need to be completely cool before filling/frosting. However they are fairly thin and cool pretty quickly.
What happens if my pastry shells fall flat?
As long as they puffed up in the oven this isn’t as big of a problem as it might seem. Obviously it’s not ideal, but the shells will puff up again as they are filled with the eclair filling.
Making the choux pastry is the most “advanced” part of this recipe, and it does take practice. So if at first you don’t succeed, try again!
Why did my pastry shells fall flat?
When baked, the liquid in the choux pastry evaporates and creates steam, expanding the egg protein, causing the rise in the puffs. The eclair shells needs to be fully baked to ensure there is no moisture left on the inside. Even a small amount of moisture will cause the shells to deflate and go flat when they are removed from the oven.
You want the shells to be a deep, golden brown all the way around the shell. I honestly could’ve baked the shells pictured below for longer and they would’ve held their shape better.
Make the Chocolate Frosting
While your shells are baking, make the frosting. It’s a basic chocolate buttercream frosting that is a little on the dark side (insert Star Wars jokes here). Start by beating softened butter, melted chocolate and sea salt together until smooth.
Next, add powdered sugar and milk and beat until the frosting is light and spreadable.
Add more milk if necessary to make the eclair frosting spreadable, but I have found that 3 TBS is exactly the right amount every single time! The more you whip the frosting, the lighter in color it will become!
How to make eclairs (Assembly)
Fill the eclairs
To assemble the Eclairs, begin by piping the filling into the shells using a small round tip. Using a tip is very helpful to ensure the homemade eclairs will be fully filled without making a mess.
Press the decorators bag full of filling into one side of the cooled pastry shell, then gently push the filling out until you see it start to ooze out a little bit.
This is when we tag-team it! Ritch fills the shells, then passes them to me to frost! Seriously having a partner to make these is a necessity! Also…if your helper is good at washing dishes that is a total bonus! 😉
Frost the Eclairs.
Use your favorite decorators tip to frost the filled eclairs! For these photos I used the Wilton 2B tip (basket weave tip). I also like using the Wilton 1M decorators tip! You can frost them however you’d like!
I don’t recommend spreading the frosting onto the eclairs with a knife because the filled pastry shells are delicate! If you apply too much pressure you run the risk of crushing the eclair!
Chill & Store or serve.
Place the finished eclairs in a single layer on a baking tray or in a container and store them in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (until the frosting hardens). Then you can stack them or freeze them in an airtight container! Serve cold after chilling!
Tools needed to make the Best Eclairs Recipe!
Having the right tools aids in the process of making these eclairs immensely! These are the tools I use to make them, as well as many other baked goods! I especially use these things to decorate cakes using our favorite homemade frosting recipe (another 45-year-old Mema recipe)!
- Standing Mixer. A standing mixer is truly the powerhouse of this recipe. Sure you could make these homemade eclairs without it, but it will be WAY harder. I bought this Kitchen Aid mixer a few years ago and love it.
- Decorator’s bag. I use both reusable and disposable decorators bags. I have a hard time keeping the reusable ones clean, so I prefer disposable ones!
- Decorator’s tips. These are the tips we use in making this best eclair recipe:
- Wilton 2B tip. This is a basket weave tip. It’s SO EASY to frost this eclair recipe with it! Just move the piping bag in a zig zag motion!
- Wilton 1M decorators tip. I use this tip for EVERYTHING. Including making my favorite rose cake. Seriously, this is an absolute must-have if you enjoy baking and cake-making. Plus it’s only $4!
- Wilton Small Round Tip. This is used for filling the eclairs easily!
- Baking sheets
- Batter bowl with lid. I use this for storing the filling while making the puffs and frosting!
Eclairs Recipe: Ingredients
There are three components to this Eclairs Recipe, and I’ll show you the ingredients I use for each of them!
This only has 4 ingredients, water, butter, eggs and salt! I do not recommend making any substitutions. The only change that can be made in using unsalted butter instead of salted butter! (Note: you only need 3/4 cup butter for the recipe, although 1 cup is pictured below)!
The quality of ingredients used in this filling recipe matters. I don’t recommend making any substitutions in the filling recipe either! Especially do NOT substitute the french vanilla pudding for regular vanilla or any other brand. (If you love french vanilla pudding, try this dirt cake – it’s the best)!
True story: No joke, once I made these eclairs with a generic brand of french vanilla pudding and Ritch noticed. He took one bite and said, “What did you do to these? They are different!” I never ever change this recipe, because his mom made it and it’s perfect. So I told him I made them the same way I always do!
Then, (oh yes…then) Ritch found the generic pudding packages in the garbage and said, “You didn’t use Jell-O brand pudding! That’s it! The filling is different!” LOL! I about died. That man can’t tell the difference between ground turkey and ground pork, but he could detect that I tried to save 90 cents by buying a different brand of pudding. Never again did I make that mistake.
Once again, the quality of chocolate used in the frosting matters!
- Chocolate: I love Ghirardelli baking chocolate. This frosting is a little dark but still sweet! If you like a sweeter chocolate frosting, use semi-sweet or milk chocolate!
- Milk: I use whole milk in this chocolate frosting, but you can use 2%, half and half or cream if you’d like!
- Butter. Unsalted butter can be used in place of salted butter for equally delicious results!
FAQs about Eclairs
One last section before we wrap this up…here are my answers to some frequently asked questions about this eclair recipe!
How do you store eclairs?
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer!
Can you freeze Eclairs?
YES! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month (if they last that long)!
How long do filled eclairs last?
These eclairs will last for 5 days in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. They keep longer than that, but for their optimal taste and texture that is the timeframe I recommend!

Best Eclairs Recipe
Filling: (You will have extra)
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 1½ cups water
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 eggs
- Mix together the French vanilla pudding and milk. Set aside in the refrigerator until it becomes thick (about 5 minutes).
- Add the whipping cream, vanilla and powdered sugar into the bowl of a standing mixer and whip on high speed until firm peaks form and hold their shape.
- Fold the pudding and whipped cream mixture together.
- Cover and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease three jelly roll pans and set aside.
- Measure your water, salt and butter into a 4-quart saucepan. Heat water salt and butter to boiling. Continue to boil the mixture until the butter is melted.
- Add the flour to the saucepan all at once and whip with wooden spoon. Mixture will form a ball in middle of the pan.
- Cool for about 5 minutes stirring to cool faster.
- Add eggs one at a time whipping with wooden spoon well after each. [Or transfer your mixture to a standing mixture and add eggs individually, beating well after each].
- Check your batter, if it is not thick enough to hold a shape when piped, gradually add more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Put mixture into pastry bag and pipe out eclair shapes about 1 ½ to 2 inches long and 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
- Bake at 400 for about 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Let cool completely before assembling the eclairs.
- Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave (60 seconds, then 30 second intervals until smooth), set aside.
- Place softened butter in the bowl of your standing mixer.
- Add chocolate vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add salt and powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Add milk and beat until the mixture reaches spreading consistency, wiping down the sides as you go. You may need to add more milk.
- Set aside (but keep at room temperature).
- Put filling in a large piping bag fitted with a small, round tip. Gently pipe the filling into one end of the pastry puff. Repeating for each puff until they are all filled.
- Fill a large piping bag with your chocolate frosting and frost the eclairs in any way you’d like!
- Refrigerate until serving.
- I do not recommend any ingredient substitutions. The only changes that can be made are: using unsalted butter in both the puffs and frosting, or a different kind of chocolate in the frosting (e.g. semisweet or milk) for a sweeter taste.
- Store these eclairs in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month in an airtight container.
- Simply remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving!
Ritch’s feelings about these this best eclairs recipe:
“These Eclairs are BY FAR the best dessert that I have ever had! Nothing else comes close. In fact, It’s not even fair to compare other desserts to this one. I’m actually tearing up a little bit as I write this….they are…so…(sniffle) amazing. I obviously have the best wife in the world–for lots of reasons–not least of which is because she makes these Eclairs for me. Just like anything else in life that is good…this recipe is a lot of work. But worth every second.” -Ritch

The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the design of a pharmaceutical processor is described. A simple computational model of the process vessel was developed using a single-phase flow. The results of this preliminary study showed good agreement with experimental tests. The model was further developed to consider the effect of solid particles on the processes occurring within a single vessel pharmaceutical processor. Having obtained converged solutions, the model was used to optimize the design of the processor. The model was used to develop new designs of the vessel. The design optimization was done on the basis of comparisons with conventional pharmaceutical processing equipment. Optimization of the process parameters is important, as they are known to affect the functionality of the final product. The study reported here discusses one step in the design process, showing how changes to the inlet configuration can be modelled to show the potential for improved performance

Sometimes when I’m busy admiring my pet parrot, and the fact that she, a tiny, fluffy squeaky toy, who purrs and shuts her eyes when you pet her head, is of the last remaining ancestors of the dinosaurs, I forget about the deadly creatures left virtually unchanged from their prehistoric selves that lounge in swamps down in Florida. Alligators, crocodiles, caimans and the like, though not technically dinosaurs, have remained little changed from their ancestors, and were of the few creatures to survive the meteor event that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Since then, though evolution continues to persist in all living things, the crocodilian family are not all that much different from their long-lost relatives. “Living fossil” is a term for them which has since been debunked, and which I believe is too tame to describe these nightmare beasts that could snap you in half with their gaping maws.
And while, in real life, the chances of being attacked by an alligator unprovoked are slim (though it does happen), there’s something delightfully horrifying about imagining the scenario all the same. Alligators are real, they exist; they aren’t an imaginary monster cooked up in the mind of a Hollywood screenwriter. They could kill you. I mean, they probably won’t, sure… but they could. These were the thoughts running through my mind as I watched Crawl, the alligator attack horror from the French director responsible for the 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes and the horror High Tension. Alexandre Aja’s CGI gators hellbent on murder and mayhem in the crawlspace of flooding Floridian home are as nonexistent as 90% of a Marvel movie, but if you travel down to the Everglades, you might see one lounging listlessly on a riverbank. That thought alone is terrifying enough.
Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario) is a competitive college swimmer, whose equally competitive father, Dave (Barry Pepper), pushed her hard in her training while she was growing up. The two now have a tenuous relationship seemingly mediated by Haley’s older sister, Beth (Moryfydd Clark), who’s been trying to get in contact with their father amidst an impending Category Five hurricane. Against Beth’s wishes and her own best interest, Haley is intent on checking their father is safe, disobeying the Florida State Police and making her way through evacuation routes to get to his condo. It’s a ramshackle sight; pill and alcohol bottles strewn about amongst a neglected mess, aftereffects of Dave’s divorce from Haley and Beth’s mother and another cause of tension between him and Haley. She finds his apartment empty save for his dog, Sugar, who she retrieves before leaving to check and see if he’s gone to their old family home.
Upon arriving at the house, she finds her father, unconscious, with a bloody gash in his right shoulder in a crawlspace below. In her attempt to pull him to safety, an unwelcome guest greets her as she rounds the staircase: a massive alligator. As the hurricane worsens and rising floodwaters threaten to submerge them both, Haley and Dave must find a way out of the crawlspace before they’re either drowned or eaten alive.
If you enjoy horror films that make you yell out loud and scream like an idiot in a cinema full of people, Crawl is absolutely the film for you. It’s like the amusement park ride equivalent of a movie; a fun, fleeting way to spend an evening or afternoon, which thrills you at every turn and only ever lets up in brief spurts until it’s finally over. Aja manages to craft jump scares that feel totally earned and totally terrifying, as the CGI alligators gnash and snap and you fear for your own safety in your reclining cinema seat. Though the gators are entirely animated, their presence feels quite tremendous, an easier feat for us, the audience, than for the actors pretending to be terrified of something that isn’t really there. But Scodelario and Pepper both sell this illusion completely, as the true-to-life monsters rip through their flesh like butter and elicit shrieks of agony that cut straight through the screen. Their relationship as father and daughter is made equally believable and, though occasionally ham-fisted, anchors the film with the necessary heart to keep you invested in these characters.
The alligators themselves feel quite unrestrained in the threat they pose to our two leads, treating Haley and Dave like their useless playthings in a hunting ground where they increasingly have the upper hand. The camera practically suffocates as Haley and Dave struggle to avoid suffocation themselves, keeping you feeling as cramped and as vulnerable as our lead characters, and wondering if a world still truly exists beyond the walls of Dave’s crawlspace. At one point, it’s as thought the pair are playing a game of ‘The Floor is Lava’ except it’s ‘The Floor is Gators;’ and there’s a particularly memorable shot of Haley caught up in a tangle of crawlspace wires with a gator hot on her tail, which was (please bear with me) reminiscent of Frodo caught up in webs as Shelob the giant spider crept up behind him in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
In a summer boasting a double bill of two scary dolls that have been known to generate profits in the past, it’s a gang of bloodthirsty gators in a film that might otherwise be marketed to the SyFy channel that is much worthier of the twelve dollars you have to spend on movie tickets. It’s the most delightful way to enjoy a mere 87 minutes that a creature feature could offer you – an exciting, gruesome, near-nonstop action-filled experience with a budget of only $13.5 million (practically peanuts these days). Crawl doesn’t ask much of you other than to sit back, relax, and enjoy, which, if you’re one for obscene gore and ravenous reptiles, won’t be too hard to accomplish. It’s also genuinely fun to sit through this movie and be constantly reminded that alligators really exist, a perverse act of sadomasochism akin to The Man in Black from Westworld. The game is only fun if they can really kill you. The gators of Crawl certainly can’t, but there are plenty out there that could.

If you see the world in a blurry way
You go to the doctor and set all day
He tells you to eat differently, take some pills and come back in three
A change from pills to shots to better your chances
It is the numbers game, labs, A1c, and meals, good or bad
It is worth sticking to it, even if you do not feel right.
He’ll say your blood sugar is too high and the world is fine
Exercise, change your diet, low to no carbs during a meal
Your A1C should be a certain number to be good.
Now should you be reversed, sweaty, weak, and hard to do for yourself
You need to take one or two of the diabetic sugar wafers
Check your sugar levels, eat something – cheese, peanut butter, orange juice
You eat to increase your sugar and to stabilize.
Somewhere between the sweat and the blur is ideal, a phantom number
It is ideal to travel from high to low and not cross either end.
Note: I am no doctor, these words are an experience

With a little practice, most people can be hypnotized and can use self-hypnosis. Hypnosis allows us to experience thoughts, fantasies and images as almost real. It also plays a role in pain and stress management. Besides, it can change certain behaviours, such as studying and concentration, help control anger and sadness, build self-esteem, reduce bad habits, and so on.
STEP ONE: Become familiar with self-hypnosis and/or mental imagery.
Learn about the basics of hypnosis, including techniques and steps for inducing self-hypnosis. Then, practice these techniques several times with a goal in mind; of what you are trying to achieve with this method. It is best to ask a professional help regarding questions of self-hypnosis.
STEP TWO: Prepare a specific method for inducing self-hypnosis.
You may want to be hypnotized by a trained person first; he/she can then teach you how to do self-hypnosis. You can memorize or record the general induction process into an audiotape and give self- instructions. First of all find a quiet, peaceful and comfortable place for the related procedure. Then, imagine your whole body relaxing. Then in time of quietness, a recording of self-instructions can then be played, lasting about 3 minutes. Give yourself time to absorb then slowly come out of the hypnosis. Stretch a bit before going on your way.
STEP THREE: Develop self-improvement instructions to give yourself during hypnosis.
The self-instructions may reflect a new attitude towards others or yourself, a different way of thinking and so on. Words used should be simple but used repeatedly. Besides that, it should be believable, desirable, used positively for a specific time and most importantly provide a visual image of the suggested outcome. Write your own instructions for any desired change, e.g. if you are not motivated at work or at school, write self-suggestions about having the drive and determination to change, seeing the importance of that change and the wonderful possible outcomes.
STEP FOUR: Get prepared and have the experience daily.
Find a quiet, private place without any distractions to perform the 20 minutes session. Have your self-instructions ready. Go through the entire routine as you planned it. Develop a routine so that you will have the experience at the same time every day. Be patient, it takes time to learn any new skill (use it daily for at least a month). Measure your progress.

Guitar Player magazine (www.guitarplayer.com) is reporting that John Lennon’s Gretsch 6120 will be auctioned in November. This is the same guitar that was played by Lennon in April 1966 while recording The Beatles hit “Paperback Writer.” It is estimated that the guitar might fetch as much as $1 million!
The early 1960′s Gretsch is a Chet Adkins model with a pair of Gretsch FilterTron humbuckers, gold-plated hardware, Space Control bridge, and a Bigsby B6-C.
This page is a work in progress, but we’re very excited to bring you this historic amplifier!
VOX Berkeley Super Reverb Twin (SRT) electric guitar amplifier
VOX USA (Thomas Organ)
17 Watts RMS, according to the Mfr.
Tube-driven 2-spring Gibbs (Hammond) Tank
VOX tremolo circuit
12AX7 preamps; 12AU7 reverb; 12AX7 tremolo, two (2) EL84’s output
Pair of Weber (USA) 10-inch Blue Alnicos replaced the worn out Bulldogs
1965. The Beatles. Vox. What more can you say?
This 1965 model Berkeley is the original all-valve (tube) powered version that Thomas Organ produced in Sepulveda, California n small numbers from late 1965 through mid 1966. This one was partially restored by its owner “65mosrite,” giving it some fresh outer cosmetics (obtained from North Coast Music, of course), and some re-wiring and replacement of resistors and capacitors where needed.
I was fortunate enough to buy this amp from Richard H. (aka: 65mosrite), and couldn’t be happier.
North Coast Music, who runs The Vox Showroom, has some excellent data and stories related to the famous amplifier. I have provide some links to those pages below.

Here is a video by 65mosrite, who worked to restore this awesome amp!
SOLD! This Beatles-signed ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album sold at auction today for $290,500.00. This copy of the 1967 ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ album, acclaimed by most as the greatest of all Beatles’ albums, was signed by all four Beatles.
Today’s final bid exceeded the original estimated value by more than $260,000. The auction was held in Dallas, Texas by Heritage Auctions.
The Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released on this day in 1967, forever changing rock and roll, and music as a whole. Tracks like A Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Lovely Rita, When I’m Sixty-Four, Good Morning Good Morning, A Day in the Life, and the album’s title song, are now timeless classics. Listening to the album’s Side Two is an experience within itself, that must be enjoyed from beginning to end without interruption. The songs on Side Two were carefully woven together so that the music flowed seamlessly, and almost endlessly.
Rock music had reached a pinnacle. Mick Jagger once said in a radio interview, that after hearing a early pre-release tape of Sgt. Pepper’s on cassette, “We’re done! No one is going to top that.”
So enjoy the day, and spin the vinyl if you have it. Because somewhere in the universe (pun intended), that magnificent final E chord is still fading…!
The Vox UL730 amp played by George Harrison on the Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s recordings
The Northwich Guardian reported today that a man in Wicham England discovered that a guitar amplifier he’s owned for awhile actually belonged to George Harrison in the mid-60′s. Apparently that fact went unnoticed for decades until the man took the amp in for repair. The technician discovered Harrison’s identification inside the amp during the repair.

Ohh, I have a treat for you today! Treat, as in a sizzling hawt excerpt. *fanning self*
I haven’t known this author for long, but I tell you what, it feels like I’ve known her forever. She is an amazing woman with a kind spirit, so I’m more than happy to share her work with you.
Now before you read this, make sure to have a nice big glass of cold water in reach, ’cause it’s about to get HOT. 😉
I present to you, Portals of OZ by Sheri Fredricks!
She came to Willow Bay to satisfy her curiosity of human life, and got more than she bargained for.
Jack, an archeologist bent on discover…
He can’t wait to leave Pennsylvania and return to his explorations in Australia, where life is filled with dingos and roos.
Human hunters stalk the enthralling Abelia, and Jack comes to her rescue. The hunters back off, but she suddenly vanishes, and he’s left confused as he returns home to the rugged Outback.
They’ll risk it all…
When Abelia magically appears in Jack’s kitchen, she must divulge who and what she really is, and risk the mythic people’s secret for his help to return home. Meanwhile, he risks his heart to convince her to stay.
Abelia rocked her hips forward. She rode his hand with instinct, and a passion so pure that it dragged Jack down into her uninhibited intensity. He grasped hold and tugged the top of her sundress down farther and used a ferocious suction on her nipple that caused her to cry out. His thumb pressed and flicked while his finger slid rhythmically deeper. Jack’s hard won self-control all but disintegrated as he slipped a second finger into her amazingly snug channel.
Her body jolted with a burst as is she’d become overwhelmed with sensation, and he reveled in her responsiveness. Her hands gripped his wrist, desperately holding him to her, and she again cried out from his teasing fingers.
The wood floor lay unforgiving beneath his knees, yet he hardly felt its bite as he slid lower over Abelia’s body. When his eyes were even with her glistening sex, Jack removed his hand and in a quick movement, replaced it with his mouth. He sealed his lips to the lips of her sex, and sweet nectar tantalized his tongue. Craving more, he licked and sucked, stroking her receptive body closer to climax.
“Should I make you come, sweetheart?” His voice echoed in the empty room as a thought occurred to him. “Can I make you come? Are you different from humans that way?”
“Please, Jack.” She gasped, her green eyes glittering like emeralds, filled with need as impatient as his own.
He doubted she was conscious of anything but what her sleek body cried out for, but her eyes were focused on him. He knew she saw him, saw the need within him.
“Please…” she repeated on a moan.
If he didn’t get in her soon, he’d crawl out of his bloody skin. His cock was full, throbbing, ready to explode. Jack leaned up and sat back on his heels, easing the zipper down past the lump.
Abelia’s eyes widened when his engorged cock sprang free of his jeans, then she licked her lips and smiled. A subtle hip rotation coupled with her unconscious pelvic thrust, and he nearly came unglued before they even began.
One-handed, he shoved his pants down, past his thighs.
Jack hooked an arm behind her knee and stretched her leg up high. With his other hand, he held his rigid penis and bathed the spongy head in her fiery pool of wetness. Her legs flexed, thighs spreading to welcome him, the sight too erotic to bear. A luscious show played as he slipped and slid against her flared pink skin, his cock jerking at the contact with the moist heat. Throbbing and swollen, the head of his cock notched at her snug opening.
He leaned forward and kissed her hard, sweeping inside so she could taste herself on his tongue. In careful, controlled bursts, he pushed inside her snug body by excruciatingly slow inches. Her little tight channel swallowed him up, every agonizing increment.
Abelia threw her head back, keening in loud gusty huffs.
Need consumed him in a roiling storm, and his breath grated fiercely as he wrestled to focus. To stay in control. But it was hopeless. Jack was too primed, the deep-rooted throb of his body an unbearable thrill. He pulled back, and slammed home hard. Again.
In an instant, her breath hitched and she gasped with unbound pleasure.
While his lips explored her throat, he felt her moan vibrate against them as her body burst around his cock. Convulsions ripped through her that endeavored to squeeze the essence out of him.
Locked in orgasm, Abelia’s body crackled like electricity, humming with astounding bliss.
Never before had he felt a splintered impact of pleasure as he did right now with her body milking him in turbulent upheaval. And never had he experienced such a sense of amazing satisfaction when she lay breathless and seemingly boneless beneath him.
Close to the edge of a mind-blowing cliff, he lurched forward once more. He ground himself so deep into her womb that he felt the rising wave of his release from a different plane within him.
Abelia lifted her sweet thighs to wrap them higher over his hips. It sank him further into her, and he shattered.
For a moment, he made no sound. His vocal cords remained frozen in spasm as he crested over. A star burst behind his tightly shuttered eyes and sudden scalding heat pulsed from his body and into hers. The release burst forth in profound, satisfying rushes that forced him to cry out from deep in his throat.
Gripped in endless pleasure, the tense muscles in his braced arms trembled as he was hit by the percussion of rippling post-orgasmic shudders that coursed through her, obliterating his consciousness.
Glorious bloody hell.
*wipes sweat from forehead* Damn that was sexy!

Valid as of March 2015: EN 16430 governs the measurement of performance on fan-supported trench heating systems and thus establishes at long last a comparability of these units. Even the cooling capacity can be measured.
In modern architecture, fully paned facades are an often used stylistic device. Especially with high rises, prestigious buildings and conservatories, glass as an expression of openness and transparency is a frequently seen element. So as to not block the unobstructed view with classical radiators or mounted units, for the most part, trench heating units are placed behind the glass façade. In their usual use, heated air rises up the glass front from the convector heater – be it by way of natural convection, be it supported by a fan – and lets colder room air flow downwards. This causes circulation and the whole room is heated.
And that is the functional principle of a trench heating system – known by everybody and explained umpteen thousand times. All the more surprising if the fact that there was no European standard for measuring the performance; least of all when the unit could also cool air down. Planners, builder-owners and architects could never really be sure of the actual performance of the convector heaters. Until now – for EN 16430 for “fan-supported heating systems, convector heaters and trench heating systems” has applied since March 2015.
Comparing similar products of different manufacturers is normal practice in the market economy. In order to make an authoritative comparison, reliable data is needed – yet for trench heating systems this was not been previously possible for lack of a clear-cut standard. Some manufacturers measured in line with EN 442, which is not the worst choice. It does provide for the measurement of performance of heaters and convectors. The standard is, however, not intended for trench heating systems, nor does it give any information about cooling operations. In addition EN 4704-4 was also often drawn upon. This standards does indeed apply for trench heating systems, but, on the other hand, excludes the cooling capacity and is no longer up-to-date when it comes to the test set-up.
Some managed with EN 14518 – a standard for measuring the capacity of chilled beams that are naturally fitted to the ceiling, in order to now be able to measure the cooling capacity at long last. Others, on the other hand, measured the air intake temperature to calculate the cooling capacity from that. This also is an unsuitable, falsifying method because the reference air temperature and the air intake temperature relevant for the design usually differ greatly. The least reliable is fully calculated performance data without measurement. And yet: entire manufacturer catalogues are filled with such abstract data.
EN 442 forms the basis
It is now EN 16430 that puts the process imbroglio into order and is meant to provide planners and architects with the necessary certainty for the design of the heating and/or cooling requirements. With the publication of the standard, a longer-lasting process comes to an end. Almost seven years passed from the work assignment of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) in 2008 over the first draft, the national and European appeal meetings down to the approval by all CEN countries.
The new standard is in three parts:
• Part 1: Technical specifications and requirements
• Part 2: Test methods and evaluation of the thermal output
• Part 3: Test methods and evaluation of the cooling capacity
With that, EN 16430 is not new in principle – EN 442 was taken as a basis, it was changed and supplemented, however, in decisive points:
The layout in the test chamber now equates to real conditions. The back wall (which reproduces the window front) is brought to the temperature of 16 °C +/- 0.5 K when heat is needed, which equates to the normal surface temperatures of modern windows. Further, the test channel is pace at a 50mm distance to the back wall like in practice instead previously at 200mm distance. The reference air temperature is measured at 2 metres’ distance from the façade and at a height of 0.75 metres. When cooling is needed, the surface temperatures of the test chamber, especially the back wall, are to be set at 28°C +/- 0.5 K.
Beware of “short circuits”
EN 16430 is long overdue for trench heating systems, because effective cooling from out of the floor is a real art. Warm air rises up and cool air goes down – every child knows that. For a trench heating system, this means that in cooling mode, it has to work against physics. It suctions air close to the floor, cools it and blows it out onto the façade. If this air falls too quickly, a “short circuit” develops. The conditioned air is suctioned in again and the unwanted circulation thus causes the cool air to collect over the channel, which then is distributed from there with a low temperature at a low height in the room. The desired cooling capacity is not achieved, draughts may appear and, in plain words, cold feet. This short circuit can be reduced considerably by a special geometry of the convector. Such an optimised flow allows the air to flow high up the window front where it mixes and penetrates into the room with a pleasant temperature. The test set-up of EN 16430 shows whether a convector is in the position to cool efficiently.
The criterion for the cooling capacity is the reference air temperature, which is measured in the middle of the test chamber at a 2m distance from the façade and at a height of 0.75m. Depending on the short circuit percentage, this can deviate significantly from the air intake temperature. After all, the temperature in the room the user is spending time is decisive. If room temperature (reference air temperature) and air intake temperature are wrongly equated, the result is very different cooling capacity differences. In practice, performance differences of more than 50 percent have been measured caused by this.
Sound pressure level decisive for dimensioning
With trench heating systems, not only the heat and cooling output but also the sound power is included in the evaluation as a decisive factor. The convectors should always be dimensioned on the basis of the sound pressure level. This is the only way to guarantee that the necessary heating and cooling output is supplied under due observation of the sound thresholds. In most cases, the units are stated in data sheets with average sound pressure levels of 30 to 35 dB(A). In real life, however, many convectors reach in part more than 50 dB(A), to achieve their thermal output – far too much for acoustically sensitive rooms. The reason for the difference between the test result and actual output can be the application of an unsuitable standard, or a wrong reference air temperature when calculating the output. For the planner, this can mean a complaint, which, in a worst case scenario, ends up with the already installed convectors, initially appearing to be cost-efficient, having to be ripped out and having to be replaced by reliably measured ones. EN 16430 stipulates for the sound emission that the convectors are measured at the highest. Middle and lowest rotational speeds. In addition to the sound output, the manufacturer can state the sound pressure level with a fixed room absorption of 8 dB(A).
EN 16430 is thus the only standard as per which trench heating systems can be measured reliably and practice-oriented. It caters for planning reliability and a cross-manufacturer comparison – of course, only if all manufacturers measure and state their data as per EN 16430 from now on.

WHO defines Infertility as “a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.” Infertility may arise from male factors, female factors, or a combination of both.
Female fertility normally peaks at age 24 and diminishes after 30, with pregnancy occurring rarely after age 50. A female is most fertile within 24 hours of ovulation. Male fertility peaks usually at age 25 and declines after age 40 (Tamparo et al, 2011).
According to Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 6% of married women 15–44 years of age in the United States are unable to get pregnant after one year of unprotected sex (infertility). Also, about 12% of women 15–44 years of age in the United States have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term, regardless of marital status (impaired fecundity).
Types of infertility
Primary infertility- This is when a woman is unable to ever bear a child, either due to the inability to become pregnant or the inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth she would be classified as having primary infertility. That is, women whose pregnancy spontaneously miscarries, or whose pregnancy result in a still born child, without ever having had a live birth is known to be primarily infertile.
Secondary infertility- This is when a woman is unable to bear a child, either due to the inability to become pregnant or the inability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth following either a previous pregnancy or a previous ability to carry a pregnancy to a live birth, she would be classified as having secondary infertility. That is, women who repeatedly spontaneously miscarry or whose pregnancy results in a stillbirth, or following a previous pregnancy or a previous ability to do so, are then not unable to carry a pregnancy to a live birth would present with secondarily infertile.
Symptoms of infertility
Infertility symptoms in women can be:
- Changes in the menstrual cycle andovulation (a symptom of a disease related to infertility).
- Abnormal periods (Bleeding is heavier or lighter than usual) or Irregular periods (The number of days in between each period varies each month).
- Painful periods (Back pain,pelvic pain, and cramping may happen).
Some symptoms can occur as a result of hormonal disorder. In this case, symptoms can also include:
- Skinchanges, including more acne
- Changes insex drive and desire
- Darkhair growth on the lips, chest, and chin
- Loss ofhair or thinning hair
- Milky white discharge from nipples unrelated tobreastfeeding
- Pain duringsex
Infertility Symptoms in Men can be:
Infertility symptoms in men can be vague and may go unnoticed until a man tries to have a baby.
Symptoms depend on what is causing the infertility. They can include:
- Changes in hair growth
- Changes in sexual desire
- Pain, lump, or swelling in the testicles
- Problems with erections and ejaculation
- Small, firm testicles
Causes of infertility
Infertility in men (as a result of impaired sperm quality, quantity, or both) may be due to the following:
- Testicular failure or dysfunction
- Environmental toxin exposures especially to pesticides and lead
- Anatomic variances
- Chromosomal abnormalities,
- Systemic diseases
- Sperm antibodies.
- alcohol use,
- older age
- Medical conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, trauma,
- Treatment with chemotherapy or radiation.
Women infertility can be caused by:
- ovulation disorders
- uterine abnormalities
- tubal obstruction/disease
- peritoneal factors
- Cervical factors
- previous use of contraception
- previous pregnancies and outcomes
- Pelvic infections
- Medication use
- Occupational exposures
- Substance abuse
- Alcohol intake
- Obesity or physical inactivity
- Tobacco use
- Previous surgery on reproductive organs.
- Advancement in age
The frequency and timing of intercourse, and the use of lubricants or other products that may impair fertility by both couples, can also lead to infertility.
Prevention of infertility
Some fertility problems are related to lifestyle or other health conditions. The following tips will help protect your fertility:
- Avoid tobacco (cigarettes) and marijuana. They reduce sperm count and fertility.
- Avoid exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins.
- Avoid excessive alcohol use. It may damage eggs or sperm.
- Limit your sex partners and use condoms to reduce the risk of getting sexually transmitted infection (STI). Untreated STIs can damage the reproductive system and cause infertility.
- Maintain a healthy body weight that is close to the ideal for your height. It will reduce the possibility of hormone imbalances. This is very important for men as well as for women.
Diagnosis of infertility
- First, collecting a medical and sexual history from both partners.
- Then, initial evaluation which usually includes a semen analysis, a tubal evaluation, and ovarian reserve testing. The results of these tests help determine the best fertility treatment.
Treatment of infertility
Specific treatments are recommended for infertility based on:
- The factors contributing to the infertility.
- The duration of the infertility.
- The age of the female.
- The couple’s treatment preference after counseling about success rates, risks, and benefits of each treatment option.
Infertility can be treated with:
- Intra-uterine insemination or assisted reproductive technology.
Many times these treatments are combined.
We advise women less than 35 years of age who have been trying to get pregnant without success for a year to see their Doctor. While, women who are 35years and older, should see their doctor after six months of trying. This is because infertility tests take long time.

Isabell Werth won the Grand Prix in Stockholm. The five international judges placed her on 1 unanimously with a score of no less than 83.625%
1. Isabell Werth - Weihegold OLD
2. Cathrine Dufour - Atterupgaards Cassidy
3. Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl - Zaire-E
Isabell Werth and her black Blue Hors Don Schufro-daughter were the best in Stockholm. The German dressage rider was awarded with a whopping 83.625% and that was enough to take the lead.
For the second place too, the judges all agreed on the placing. Danish Catherine Dufour and Atterupgaards Cassidy (by Caprimond) were awarded with 80.870%. These two ladies were the only ones to score higher than 80%.
Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl, recently in Stuttgart winning the German battle with Werth aboard Dalera, competed with Zaire-E today. The black Son de Niro-daughter and her rider got 77.859%.
There was a battle for the bronze medal, and it was an exiting one. Homerider Patrick Kittel and Well Done de La Roche CMF (by Furstentraum) were only 0.421% behind Von Bredow-Werndl and only 0.199% in front of Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen, placing Kittel in fourth place and Nilshagen aboard Dante Weltino OLD (by Danone 4) fifth.

I’m always full-speed ahead in my schedule. The day starts with a workout (either run or Crossfit), quick breakfast before heading to a work schedule that brings me around the city at times, and another workout (swim or yoga) in the afternoon. On certain days, there is either work or non-work related activities to deal with before retiring to bed.
Tiring huh! But it’s a lifestyle – my lifestyle.
I guess the only time I am not juggling numerous activities in a day is when I am out there running for hours – one, two, ten, fourteen, forty-four hours. Yes, for an ultrarunner, that is called a normal weekend activity.
With a hectic schedule and training/races that lasts for hours, hygiene is always a top priority. I cannot take risk and always have to stay healthy. Being exposed to sweat and germs for hours needs not just an ordinary protection. And I am glad that Adidas Body care is available in the market. (You can even get one at convenience stores when you forget your deodorant at home.)
I have always been a fan of the Adidas body care’s line of products for women. I’ve been using their deodorant and fragrance since 2008. I wasn’t even into sports then – unless shopping counts as sports.
What I love about the product is the freshness of its smell and the longer protection it gives especially when I run races. Two days without shower under the heat of the sun and still smelling fresh — that’s possible. Well, I think my support crew still survived riding the same car with me after the race during my BDM 2011. I asked them. And trust that my sisters and best friend will tell the truth!
Girls, being girls, are conscious of their hygiene. At least, most of the girls I know, even those who are really active and serious in the sports.
Maybe, the same goes for the opposite sex.
Well, last night, we had this conversation about hygiene with fellow ultrarunners. (Details I cannot share 😉 haha )
To sum it up, hygiene is also a big deal for guys. It’s just that we have the kikay side more than the boys who would always have the macho side.
Maybe that’s the reason Adidas has just launched a new line specifically for men. Macho + Mabango = WIN!!!
A new addition to adidas men’s personal care range is the Sports Energy. It promises 72 hours of protection – even going beyond the cut-off for most 100 miler ultramarathon races. Now, this guarantees you enjoy the smell of fresh air on the trails no matter how tough the race is. :p
Here’s the official press release.
(Of course) I wasn’t able to test this new line. But during the first Run United, runners were asked to test it. And everyone who were part of the product trials gave a thumbs up.
The Adidas Body Care booth will be at Run United 2 again this Sunday and RU2 runners can get it a discount. Drop by their booth and get your souvenir race photos taken.
INTRODUCING adidas’ NEW “SPORTS ENERGY” MEN’S PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
The Sports Energy is available in antiperspirant/deodorant and “3-in-1” shower gel, is specifically made to recharge a man’s batteries.With an energizing fragrance that delivers a real boost of energy, Sports Energy is a dynamic way for men to kick-start the morning, power up to face the day’s challenges, or to recharge after a tough workout session.
Developed with athletes, adidas’ Sports Energy antiperspirant / deodorant for men combines the Cool and Dry Technology with a revitalizing new fragrance. Sports Energy blends intense, modern freshness top notes with an amber-and-wood dry down to deliver an invigorating boost of energy. Available in both spray and roll-on & stick, adidas Sports Energy antiperspirant offers up to 72 hours of long-lasting wetness protection for the active man.
The Sports Energy fragrance is also featured in a new adidas “3-in-1” Body Hair Face shower gel. The key ingredients of lime extract and natural mineral salts create a boost of freshness, while the exciting, dynamic fragrance awakens the senses with bright citrus notes of lime, cedar and orange. The pH-balanced “all in one” gel formula maintains skin’s hydration, and can be used on body, face and hair without irritating a man’s skin or eyes.
Vibrant new packaging
In addition to its dynamic fragrance, adidas’ new Sports Energy duo also features packaging that is particularly distinctive and impactful. The colour palette is visually stimulating and symbolic of a burst of stamina and “recharging one’s batteries.” While every other product in the adidas men’s range features black as the primary bottle colour, Sports Energy stands out as the only variant with intense, deep cobalt blue packaging. The use of vivid yellow as a contrasting secondary colour also communicates the idea of renewed energy.
More choices for today’s man
Sports Energy is the top variant in the adidas Cool and Dry deodorant range, which also includes Pro Invisible, Ice Effect and Pro Level formulas. Sports Energy shower gel joins two other Body Hair Face formulas: After Sport and Ice Effect.
New adidas Sports Energy men’s deodorant is now in Watsons, SM Supermarkets and other leading department stores and supermarkets nationwide

Leadership development is about far more than simply management. It is how you make people feel, how you inspire others to become a better version of their best selves. It is about setting strategy and seeing it through. It is for that reason that organizations seek out to develop their leaders and ensure they lead by example.
Our Leadership Development interventions are engaging and highly interactive, often replicating real-life situations through role plays and theater learning. Our team of consultants immerse themselves into the day-to-day life of the leader, and the strategies they want to carry out, thus ensuring that results are achieved and are tangible.

I was contacted recently by one Jeff Clarke, who describes himself as a “Design Evangelist at Viximo”. He promised that his Viximo Elves had decided that my work was worthy of inclusion in the Viximo community. Was this something i should take any notice of?
If you are not aware of the company yet, Viximo is a provider of virtual goods, digital illustrations effectively, and can range from birthday cakes to puppies to digital animations. Their intention is to provide a virtual goods network in the same way that online ad networks distribute and place ads, like Google.
CEO of Viximo, Rob Frasca, at the Virtual Goods Summit in San Francisco, says that Facebook is earning upwards of $35 million a year on members who are sending virtual goods to each other (source). Jumping over to the Far East, we find Tencent, one of China’s largest internet portals with over 250 million user accounts. Looking at their Q3 2008 results, shows that the company generated $296 million (up 27% from just the quarter before that), with over 65% of their revenue coming from virtual goods. It certainly seems there is a market there. And that market is growing fast.
So, for illustrators and graphic designers with a bit of a dab hand at digital media and looking to make a few bob, this might come as some interesting news.

Convicted of Sexual Solicitation of a Minor?
With the rapidly increasing sexual awareness of younger generations, sometimes it becomes difficult to pinpoint the age of a sexual partner. Sexual acts that are well accepted between adults become severe crimes once a minor is involved. With a charge that marks you with the sexual solicitation of a minor, you may find yourself serving years in a state prison with stringent orders regarding questions of parole or the opportunity of eventual release.
What does a conviction mean for you?
The solicitation of a minor refers to a severe sex crime, as regarded by the state of Massachusetts. As recently as 2011, was passed through the state court system defining the full extent of the issue. If one forces any kind of sexual intercourse, this includes both anal and oral acts, on a child then they can be charged with a punishment of no less than 30 years. This punishment is not eligible to be discharged or shortened in any way under any circumstances.
Once a sex crime includes a minor, the already harsh punishments regarding the crime become excessively heightened. The problem is associated with the huge numbers of domestic violence seen within the state of Massachusetts. A sex crime is an emotional crime. Once you bring emotion into the courthouse, it becomes difficult to combat without the professional logic of a qualified Boston criminal defense attorney. With your future hanging in the balance, you don’t want to take any chances.
Hire a Boston Sex Crime Attorney
Whether or not you realized that you had sex with a minor, this is a serious crime that needs quick and efficient attention. Our team is ready to take on your case with aggressive determination and a strong understanding of your personal testimony. There is no reason for you to suffer for a crime you didn’t commit, or for which you are wrongly charged. The sooner you contact our Boston office, the more time we have to create a sturdy and lucrative defense.

Identity theft is increasing on a global scale, with financial information and client records considered foundational data for cyber criminals that indulge in this practice, whether for strict financial gain or use in fraudulent transactions. The normal practice is that harvested data is used to create other accounts (such as bank, email or other) or indeed continue using existing accounts but changing passwords to prevent legitimate access.
Small to medium enterprises obviously store both financial and health information and are prime targets for hackers. In August 2014. These criminals do not care about your business information but focus more on your personal details such as date of birth, address, etc., using them for services or credit applications.
Australia has had its fair share of data breaches. In 2012, ransomware (software that locks down a computer until a ‘ransom’ is paid using an untraceable digital currency such as Bitcoin) was used to compromise the operations of a Gold Coast medical centre.
Luckily, with a little knowledge and some forward planning, you can protect your medical practice from most of these data breaches. I say most, as even large enterprises are successfully breached by highly skilled hackers on occasion and few servers can continue operation if thousands of hackers launch a simultaneous attack.
The brave new world of increased mobility means work is an activity rather than a destination. Employees can work from anywhere in the world using mobile devices: they can even choose, manage, and use their own devices in many cases.
This carries enormous benefits to businesses as employees become more productive and available. However, it also creates risk because these devices and the data that resides on them may not be adequately secured, so sensitive company information may be compromised. Organisations must take measures to protect business information on mobile devices.
Using mobile devices comes with new concerns around securing and protecting company data, especially when it comes to storing and transmitting information. When employees use mobile devices, they often also use public cloud services like Google and Dropbox to store documents and information – and these are often beyond the visibility and control of the IT department. As a result, businesses need to consider ways to ensure maximum security for mobile workers that access, share and collaborate on work and documents over mobile devices.
The Australian Federal Government this week launched the annual Stay Smart Online Week. In conjunction they have released the Stay Smart Online Small Business Guide. Business owners can use this guide to ensure they are following safe online practices, and have sufficient security in place to protect sensitive data from a potential breach.
This comes at a time when businesses, organisations and government departments are increasingly being subject to data breaches on a regular basis. Yet in what is a growing concern, there appears to be little consensus about what entities should do once a breach is discovered.
Defining a data breach is an exercise in itself. At its core, it refers to an unauthorised access of information on a computer or network. Hacking is the most common example, however the guidelines below apply not just to data breaches but to instances of online bullying, defamation, threats and similar problems in the digital space.
So who should you call when you want to investigate a data breach? The straight answer is that it all depends on what you want to achieve.
Every business, whether large or small, needs to have a customer-facing website these days, and in the past twelve months Australians spent $17.5 billion on online retail sales. In fact, according to Avast Software, online shopping is Australia’s number one online activity, social media, banking and emailing…before we get down to adult content, illegal torrent sites and checking the weather forecasts, which are also in the top ten.
While this level of online activity is great for commerce in Australia, it also brings with it a host of problems – potentially very damaging ones. Companies and web developers know that a website needs security, but many business owners do not understand the depth of online threats that exist, and the ever-evolving complexity of attacks.
Regardless of whether a website sells directly to the public, or simply exists as a tool to host marketing information and contact details, an attack can be disastrous to business credibility and continuity. Imagine a client happily selling from the web one minute, then having to contact an entire customer base and explain that their security has been compromised. Payment details may have fallen into the hands of criminals, a foreign entity may be blackmailing the company or perhaps there has been a malicious attack and sales can’t continue as the online inventory is down.
by Andrew Boyd
In the fast-paced business world, things are evolving all the time. If you want to maintain the success of your business, you need to ensure that you are keeping up with the changing times, and adapt to all of the new demands that are being thrown your way.
Although the economy does seem to be on the right path once more, it can still be a difficult time for businesses if they do not embrace all of the new types of technology and marketing that is available to them. So whilst some of the things we are going to talk about in this post may cost you some money, they are all to help your business stay successful in the long term.
The most successful businesses are ones that are systemised because business owners are not stuck in the day-to-day grind of work, but rather developing their business. Businesses that have a solid foundation of systems are able to grow much more smoothly, creating fewer headaches for the business owner or manager.
There are 3 key pillars to business systemisation including People, Process and Technology. As a business starts to grow, people are usually employed to perform certain tasks. Typically business owners don’t document what needs to be done and what the most efficient way of doing it is, leaving employees to deliver important work to customers in different ways at varying degrees of standards. In turn, employers are left with inconsistent work, rework and unhappy customers.
What is it?
I’ve been working in technology longer than I want to admit and I’ve seen the same thing over and over again. It happens to I.T professionals, even university level teachers and high level government officials. It happens to micro business and small business owners and even school children.
At times in my life, usually when rushed, distracted or under stress, it has happened to me. It does not discriminate on the basis of age, financial status, education level, IQ, or gender but it can be prevented or mitigated by simple changes in process.

Lucila McElroy and Candice Davenport are Maplewood residents who blessedly found one another. One had an altruistic vision and another needed a creative outlet for her artistic madness.
Cumulative children: six wonders of our world.
Number of great husbands: two (one each).
When they are not playing doctors on TV or smiling at themselves in the mirror, Lucila McElroy is the Administrative Director at Kadampa Meditation Centre Vancouver and the founder of the Perfect Mom Reform School. Candice Davenport is a public health nurse and health educator for the Maplewood Health Department and a public health program coordinator for Rutgers University.
Why did we do this?
The Gratitude Graffiti Project is based on a simple concept, supported by positive psychology research and literature that one of the most important steps to wellness and happiness is to assume a daily practice of gratitude.
Our goal is to create THE REMINDER by utilizing community hubs (Gratitude Stops) to creatively engage each passerby and member of the community to take a moment to be grateful for a minimum of 40 days.
As a life coach, Lucila has experienced first hand in her personal and professional life that practicing a daily habit of being grateful for what we have in our lives creates a sense of happiness, a sense of WELL- BEING. When we practice gratitude in our daily lives, “nothing changes and everything changes” because we have enough and more.
As a nurse and a public health educator, Candice has grown to believe that a sense of place and the messages that surround us can affect the human condition. She believes we are all connected to one another and our environment and that through our daily interactions, each can have a positive effect on the other. As an educator, she sees that adults are experiential learners and need to be engaged to fully process an experience, such as changing attitudes or behaviors.
Contact us and tell us what you think at firstname.lastname@example.org . Send us pictures, share your thoughts, let us know where you are today in your practice of gratitude and write it, draw it, create it, be with it and most of all, enjoy it.
Welcome to the Gratitude Graffiti Project.

The marine projects in class module consists of two half-day visits (approx. 2 hours per visit) to the class by an Explorers education officer. The first visit will involve a fun activity introducing ocean literacy, a presentation about the selected project topic and / or the class completing an interactive experiment. The class will receive "Explorers" education resources and be asked to undertake a project for the follow up workshop. During the second visit the class will be provided the opportunity to present and discuss their project work to the education officer. Both visits will involve fun activities assessing the student’s ocean literacy in which they will be awarded an Explorers Certificate of Participation on completion of the module.
The Explorers marine project in class module provides teachers with an opportunity to introduce their class to the importance of our marine environment and our ocean resource. Projects may include a range of topics including: marine biodiversity - living things, caring for our marine environment - impacts of marine litter, marine technology - exploring our ocean, and our ocean wealth. Teachers will be provided with class schemes, recommended education resources and lesson plans to carry out cross curricular project work based on the project that has been selected. This module is suitable for children of 5th and 6th classes.
This module is funded by the Marine Institute and is therefore free for schools to participate. Teachers participating in this module may be requested to attend an introduction workshop prior to the education officer visiting the class.
For more information contact Lifetime Lab by email at email@example.com or call 021 4941500
The Explorers Education Programme™ is supported by the Marine Institute, and is funded under the Marine Research Programme by the Irish Government

14 main causes and solutions for blockages
Sewer blockages can be annoying, but if you understand what’s going on and deal with early, they are relatively easy to fix and you may be able to avoid more serious leaks, overflow or electrical damage. Τhe obstructive company –Αποφράξεις Αντωνίου– analyzes the 14 main causes that cause blockage in your drains.
Why drain pipes are blocked?
Here we will have to separate the 3 main points in our space where this is done and put the causes separately:
A. Obstructions in the kitchen
We have seen many times even in the news reports of fats that can cause huge public sewage blockages, resulting in sewage accumulating in homes and roads. What must definitely be put in the garbage basket and create blockages in the drains of the kitchen are:
- Fat And Oil. The bad habit of throwing cooked oil from potatoes into the sink is one of the most serious problems. Fat from fats and oils can be a liquid when entering a drain, but it soon cools down there and will thicken quickly. It will become a sticky solid mass that clings to the walls of the pipes and attaches more waste to it. It’s a must for blockages in pipe drains and financial joy for all blockage companies. The solution is to use a fat trap (a disposable lined container) to drop used oils and fats. Alternatively keep a mini bucket in the kitchen for food waste – it’s healthy for both pipes and the planet!
- Hair of all shapes. Hair both human and pets are also important factors blocking the pipes. The simplest way to avoid blockages and blocking drains from hair creation is to install grids and filters on all your ducts. Especially in shower and bathroom ducts. A mesh in the kitchen sink will also trap food waste from washing. They are easy to clean – just make the habit of emptying them regularly.
- Coffee beans. Yes. ‘Cause there’s some wonderful coffee-based compounds, like organic glue. Coffee beans look like a harmless, free product to rinse in the sink. However, you may be surprised to learn that they are a high risk factor for blockages. Dispose of them – along with other food wastes, such as rice and pasta – in the food bin.
- Food residues from dishes and baking pans.
- Kitchen rolls and papers.
B.Obstructions in the toilet
- Makeup Cleaning Products
- Baby wipes
- Gypsum and bandages
- Tampons and applicators (plastics and cardboard)
- Sanitary and incontinence
- Fibrous materials.
Items such as wet wipes, dental floss, cotton and feminine hygiene items should be discarded in a bin and not rinsed in the toilet. They can easily get stuck in rough parts in drains and accumulate in possible blockages.
- Medicinal products and chemicals
Engine oil, paints, battery fluids and solvents must be safely disposed of in accordance with local regulations. We should never be introduced into the water supply where they can damage our groundwater and be toxic to plants and wildlife. Return unused medicines to a pharmacist for safe disposal
C. Obstructions outdoors
It goes without saying that you should always try to keep the ducts in your yard free from leaves, foliage, branches, stones or other garden waste that could enter the drain and cause blockages. Regularly sweeping your garden, and using compost for leaves is a way to prevent the blockage of these ducts and piping. It is also advisable to check regularly if you have an external cesspool, its height.
Monthly maintenance and cleaning of cesspools must be done on time. If blockages are often made and you take care of all of the above then you may need to seek help from a specialized obstruction company- Αποφράξεις Αντωνίου-. Because the problem may be mechanical (poor gravity of the pipes) to identify the cause and relieve the blockage.
There are some techniques that a drainage expert will use. Such as including the use of CCTV i.e. piping control camera. (see and article blockages with camera) to thoroughly look at the blockage company and locate the difficult and inaccessible points of the sewer to see what has prevented the flow of water. Professional obstructionists can also advise you on what to do in the future to prevent this from happening again.
Tips for maintaining clean drains
Train your family on what is safe and unsafe to dispose of in the drain pipes. It is also a good idea to use some simple regular cleaning procedures.
- A handful of baking soda in the drain. Followed by a kettle of hot (not boiled) water, it will help dissolve and relax any fats that have started to accumulate.
- A cup of vinegar will act the same way.
- Buy for your home pipe spiral blockage. A long, flexible tool – to remove accumulations and disconnect the early accumulation.
Remember – Most blockages can be avoided. But if the drain pipes are blocked, quickly call for help from experts. The obstructive company –Αποφράξεις Αντωνίου– has a skilled workforce. It can handle all issues with blockages and offer a range of services related to blockages in your home. If you suffer from any of the above, call the 18.104.22.1689. They are the leading providers of sanitation inspections, unblocking services and repairs for residents, hotels and businesses throughout Athens and Attica.

Events from the nest:
Our male Osprey has not been seen over the Loch for the last two days and there has been no addition to the suspected frustration nest. This ‘nest’ now looks quite substantial as the bird was very active with bringing in sticks over the previous two weeks.
We can now be pretty sure that our female bird has left on migration, but there is still a chance of seeing male and juvenile birds from other areas as they prepare to leave their Scottish breeding grounds. Research has shown that some birds can still be around until late September and into October.
The web camera that gave us such fantastic footage this season has now been taken off line from the Osprey nest and is now streaming live footage from the feeding station in front of the visitor centre viewing window. This footage will give viewers a taste of the other wildlife that frequents the surrounding countryside. At the feeders on a regular basis you will be able to see Red Squirrels, a variety of finches, tits and Great Spotted Woodpeckers. Roe Deer have also been known to come to root around after the centre has closed, so keep your eyes peeled and you may see something out of the ordinary.
Other Wildlife at Loch of the Lowes:
This week on the loch there were Great Crested Grebes, Cormorants, Grey Herons, Mute Swans, Canada Geese, Mallards, Tufted Ducks, Goosander, martins and Buzzards.
From this list we have sighted at least five juvenile Great Crested Grebes, which is a welcome and significant increase to previous seasons on the loch. The Goosanders have also had a successful breeding season with a brood of seven young birds having been seen diving in unison on feeding patrols.
At the feeding station there have been Pheasants, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Robins, Blackbirds, Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Treecreepers, Jays, Chaffinches, Greenfinches, Siskins and Red Squirrels.
Conservation work and sightings on the Perthshire reserves:
This week the team have been busy as ever with bracken and balsam control on the reserves. Our monthly guided walk was well attended this week and we were treated to the local diversity of plant and animal life such as Roe Deer, Treecreepers, Buzzards, Jays, a variety of fungi such as Fly Agaric and several types of polypores. Flowering plants included Lesser Burdock, Lesser Stichwort, Bird’s Foot Trefoil, Harebell, Foxglove and Devil’s Bit Scabious. The walk was enjoyed by all and we were lucky enough to have fine weather.
At Lowes this week the team checked the resident bird boxes to ascertain if they had been in use this season, the results showed what appeared to be the remains of tit nesting material and feathers. The Goldeneye nest boxes were also checked which unfortunately showed no evidence of use, although the birds had been seen on the loch earlier in the season.

Air Quality Monitoring in Africa?
Or anywhere in your world?
You’ll see in the video how motorcycle taxi drivers wearing PM2.5 and VOC air quality sensors collect mobile, GPS-tagged sensor information.
Take a gander at our general Air Quality Monitoring Systems Page for more on how your organization can monitor specific gases, like Ozone / O3, Nitrous Oxides / NOx, Hydrogen Sulfide / H2S, Sulfur Dioxide / SO2, Nitrogen Dioxide / NO2, Nitric Oxide / NO, Metal Oxides, Volatile Organic Compounds / VOCs, dust, pollution and particulate matter like PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.
Does your organization need to remotely monitor assets?
Do you fancy Industrial IoT / IIoT?
Have a look at our Customer Stories page for more on how we’ll work with your organization to help you monitor air quality, water, fluids, vehicles, trucks, trailers, industrial equipment, just about anything, anywhere!
We get our boots dirty in the field. We understand customer needs for Industrial IoT applications and deployments.
Send us a message at Info@Valarm.net and we’ll get you just what you need.
To quote the video above: “Air quality and pollution is a huge issue worldwide and we’re happy to work with you to help the air quality situation around the world!”
Please don’t hesitate to Contact Us at Info@Valarm.net!
Video Voiceover / Transcript:
Howdy! This is Edward from Valarm.
How can you, your teams, and your organizations monitor air quality quickly and effectively? Well you’re in luck cuz in this video you’ll see how Tools.Valarm.net is used by MIT in Africa, specifically Kigali, Rwanda, for remote air quality monitoring.
You can use Tools.Valarm.net to monitor literally any sensor, whether it’s water, tanks, or other industrial equipment. You’ll see in this video how Tools.Valarm.net is used to monitor dust like particulate matter, a.k.a., PM2.5, and specific gases like Volatile Organic Compounds, a.k.a., VOCs.
You’ll see a backpack in the photos that is 1 of the mobile air quality monitoring deployments that the drivers wear. The air quality sensors are exposed in the front to measure ambient air for particulates like PM2.5 and gnarly chemicals and gases like VOCs.
The air quality sensor information is visualized on the maps you’re seeing here of Kigali, Rwanda, in Africa. Gigantic thank yous go out to Langley Dewitt at MIT for the maps and photos of African air quality monitoring.
Note that in this case Dylos and Yoctopuce air quality sensors are used. However, for your organization’s air quality monitoring needs you may need use different brands and sensor manufacturers like Alphasense sensors or AirCasting AirBeam sensors.
Since Tools.Valarm.net is an open platform you can connect all of your sensors to 1 place for:
See our blog at www.Valarm.net/Blog for more on how to use specific gas sensors like O3 / Ozone, NOx / Nitrogen Oxides, H2S / Hydrogen Sulfide, SO2 / Sulfur Dioxide, Optical Particle Counters like the Alphasense OPC-N2 for monitoring PM1, PM2.5, PM10. Or for monitoring other things like flood water levels and industrial fleet vehicles carrying equipment and machinery like pumps and tanks.
Wow, that was a long list, the bottom line is that air quality and pollution is a huge issue worldwide and we’re happy to work with you to help the air quality situation around the world.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at Info@Valarm.net if you’ve got any questions.

(PRWEB) December 8, 2004
BMD-Certificates (http://www.BMD-Certificates.co.uk), a website which offers a specialized service to search for and supply copy certified and official U.K. birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates, has found that their international customers are often encountering difficulties when ordering Scottish birth certificates.
The difficulty arises from the changes to the regions that have occurred over the past two centuries. As customers have come from over 100 countries, these changes are often something that they are not aware of, and so can lead to incorrect applications.
John Walsh of BMD-Certificates said: ÂWhat we find is often an ancestor has only the town that their descendant came from, and they search using the regionÂs current name, rather than the historical name.Â
ÂWe felt that we should address this issue, and to help clarify this for other overseas researchers.Â
Prior to the creation of the administrative counties in 1889, Scotland consisted of thirty four traditional counties, which are listed below in alphabetical order, with alternative names given in brackets:
Aberdeenshire, Angus (Forfarshire), Argyllshire, Ayrshire, Banffshire, Berwickshire, Buteshire, Caithness, Clackmannanshire, Cromartyshire, Dumfriesshire, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian (Haddingtonshire), Fife, Inverness-shire, Kincardineshire, Kinross-shire, Kirkcudbrightshire, Lanarkshire, Mid Lothian (Edinburghshire), Morayshire (Elginshire), Nairnshire, Orkney Islands, Peeblesshire, Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Ross-shire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Sheland Islands, Stirlingshire, Sutherland, West Lothian (Linlithgowshire), Wigtownshire.
Administrative counties were used for local government in Scotland, based on, but not identical to, the traditional counties. The main difference is the creation of Ross and Cromarty by merging Ross-shire and Cromartyshire.
There were also Âcounties of citiesÂ: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
On May 16, 1975 the administrative division into regions took place. This system was in place until April 1, 1996.
April 1, 1996 brought forth the council areas of Scotland which are unitary authorities:
Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Dundee, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire,
Edinburgh, Falkirk, Fife, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, Midlothian, Moray, Na h-Eileanan Siar (Western Isles), North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Perth and Kinross,
Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire, West Lothian.
There is also the Lieutenancy areas of Scotland, used for ceremonial purposes. These are different both from the subdivisions and the traditional counties of Scotland. These are:
Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire and Arran, Banffshire,
Berwickshire, Caithness, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries, Dunbartonshire, Dundee, East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Glasgow, Inverness, Kincardineshire, Lanarkshire, Midlothian,
Moray, Nairn, Orkney, Perth and Kinross, Renfrewshire, Ross and Cromarty, Roxburgh, Ettrick and Lauderdale, Shetland, Stirling and Falkirk, Sutherland, The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, Tweeddale, West Lothian, Western Isles, Wigtown.

It’s hard to look cute when you’re pregnant. That’s just a fact. Okay, honestly I have a hard enough time looking put-together when I’m not pregnant!
In years past, pregnant women did not have many options for clothing. It was leggings, tented tops, and…no that’s about it!
Today more companies are recognizing that us pregnant women want to be trendy and fashionable too! One such company that I was so excited to find is PinkBlush Maternity.
They were kind enough to send me a skirt to try and review, and I was impressed enough to then buy a second skirt and cardigan!
I love all three pieces! My favorite thing about them is that I should be able to continue to wear them even when I’m not pregnant, and definitely during that “transition” stage right after having baby. If you are between sizes, I would recommend sizing up on the skirts. I found mine to be just a bit tight in the hip area, which I don’t usually have a problem with.
I might actually have to ban myself from the PinkBlush website before I spend all of this baby’s diaper money.
I have four words to describe PinkBlush: cute clothes, great prices! And what else do you need?
Oh, you want free shipping and great service? THEY HAVE THAT TOO.
Any orders over $50 include free shipping to the US, and all other US orders are a flat rate of $5. They shipped my items quickly, beautifully packaged, with great communication.
I think I may have just talked myself into placing another order… or having more babies.

Group Yurkash was the best among teams who were on X-Factor, the results of the voting “people’s award”, but the award was not invited, reports “RBC-Ukraine”.
Yurkash performed on X-Factor in 2017 and then had huge success. The organizers of the show promised the musicians to shoot a music video, but this promise was not fulfilled until now. “We are not Hachiko, in order to wait for this, because back then everything was clear… But still have all flickered a little spark of hope that the words in our time have force,” the band wrote on his page in Facebook.

Hartley Pit Disaster or Hester Pit Disaster. 16th January, 1862.
The funeral procession leaving Colliery Row for Earsdon Churchyard
The funerals took place in Earsdon churchyard on 26th February and it was estimated at the time that there were about 60,000 people at the funerals of the victims, between noon and 1 p.m., carts lined with straw were driven slowly to the doors of the colliers cottages and lifted onto them. Each cart carried five victims and made the journey to the churchyard surrounded by the relatives of the dead and the followers extended down the road as far as the eye could see.
Some of the victims, about ten, were buried at Cowpen and a few at Seghill but the majority were buried at Earsdon. The Duke of Northumberland gave a plot of land to the north of the church for the burials and this was later incorporated into the churchyard.
The work of digging the graves had not proceeded as quickly as it should have and when the procession reached the churchyard only two thirds of the graves were completed but the work was quickly completed.
The graves were dug in three parallel rows, one to the west which was an immense trench, the middle one contained a trench and in this thirty three coffins were placed and smaller graves in which two or three bodies were buried and the third was of double of single graves with earth walls between them.
The Reverend E.R. Mason, the Vicar of the Parish and his Curate, Reverend D.T.
Jones met the coffins as they arrived and read the service for the dead and it took until 3 p.m. to complete all the proceedings. After the service was finished the graves were filled and this took until late into the evening.
Mr. T. Wemyss Reid, wrote on the burial of the victims-
“There is something dreadful in thinking of the desolation which the departing carts left behind them. That which is merely a misfortune to the kingdom generally, has been the destruction of the village of New Hartley. With very, very few exceptions, every strong working man in the place had been carried away to his long home and there is only left a company of aged men, weak women and helpless children.
When the place will recover form the paralysing shock it had received, if indeed it ever recovers, Heaven only knows. For many years to come babes yet unborn may rue the terrible occurrence of last Tuesday week.”
At a meeting in Newcastle it was thought that a sum of £17,000 would be required for the permanent relief of the widows and orphans but this sum was exceeded by the generosity of the public, particularly miners from other coalfields and private donations of eminent people including the Queen, who donated £200 and the Duke of Northumberland £300. Several £1000 had been subscribed in Northumberland alone and by the time the inquest was started, the Fund had reached £30.000 and subscriptions were coming at a rate of £1000 per day and eventually reached about £80,000.
Mr. W.F. Barymorean was appointed actuary for the Fund and 7/- per week was assigned to each widow and 10/6d. to a widow and child, 13/6d. for a widow and 2 children, 15/6d. for a widow and three children, 17/6d. for a widow and 4 children, 19/6d. for a widow and five children. The allowances would continue with no misconduct on the widow’s part as long as they remained unmarried and the children to age 15 years for girls and 12 years for boys. Infirm adults received 7/- per week. The widows would get £20 on remarrying and £3 for funeral expenses on dying with £1 for the death of a child.
The Fund was so large that the Hartley Fund to relieve the dependants of mining disasters was set up and over the next years was sadly used a very great deal.
Mr. S. Reed was the Coroner at the inquest which was held at Seaton Deval. The
Home Secretary, Sir George Grey had instructed Her Majesty’s Inspector of Mines, Mr. Mathias Dunn to conduct an investigation into the cause of the disaster and Mr. Kenyon Blackwell was appointed to help
Mr. Dunn and report in full to the Home office.
The single pit shaft was 12 feet in diameter and 100 fathoms deep with a substantial wooden brattice down the centre made of 3 inches plank on plank. The pumps were 24 inches in diameter and the shaft was blocked for 7 fathoms after the disaster.
Carbonic acid gas was thought to have been the cause of death of those entombed which could have been produced by the dying embers of the furnace. The Inspector said-
“We would hope that the sufferings of the poor people would be of a specific character and unattended by violent pain.”
This was the opinion of the jury on how the men met their deaths and they added-
“The jury can not close this painful inquiry without expressing their strong opinion of the imperative necessity that all winding collieries should have at least a second shaft or outlet to afford the workmen the means of escape, should any obstruction take place as occurred at the New Hartley pit.
Those that were trapped were hungry, thirsty and weary but a new enemy appeared, gas.”
Unlike many disasters that would happen in the mining industry in subsequent years, legislation was quickly enacted and stated that all collieries were to have two shafts.
There is little evidence in Hartley today of the momentous events that occurred at the colliery in 1862.
Interment of the pitmen on a lot near Burradon Church, given by the Duke of Northumberland.
Joseph Humble the under-viewer was so devastated by the disaster that he left mining and opened a Drapers store.
Only last night there was a replay of an old episode of 'Who Do You Think You Are' with Kate Humble, which now really grabs my attention because her relative Joseph Humble was the viewer of Hartley Mine ( I guess of course that you have seen the episode ) I did note that they mentioned that the documents relating to the disaster and the inquest are held at the New Castle North of England Institute Of Mining And Mechanical Engineers. Maybe this might be helpful to Robert Dixon and I wonder if Mark Wilkie, that has an inquiry on your site about the where abouts of Joseph Humble, is aware of this episode?
Have attached the above Doc for Joseph Humble pretty sure it is the right Joseph, might be helpful.

Edmund Burke: The First Conservative, by Jesse Norman
In Edmund Burke: The First Conservative, Jesse Norman, a British Conservative party MP and doctoral graduate in philosophy, lays out a bold and engaging case for his subject as “one of the seminal thinkers of the present age”. Owing in part, no doubt, to the author’s profile in British politics (he is a committed supporter of prime minister David Cameron’s “Big Society” and of the British strain of “Compassionate Conservatism”), but also, perhaps, to periodic references to a shared Anglo-American tradition of representative government, Norman’s study has attracted broad and largely approving notices in Great Britain and the United States. Although Burke has hardly been “all but ignored in recent years” (Norman’s assertion to that effect is a stretch, even allowing for authorial license), the growing perception of moral and cultural crisis in Western society in recent decades makes revisiting Burke’s life and thought a valuable exercise. To a lucid exposition of that thought, Norman profitably adds his own practical experience in the House of Commons, shaping thereby a powerful argument for Burke’s crucial historical significance in the development of party government and the constitutional principles underpinning modern Western representative democracy. He is equally cogent, but less successful, in explaining how, philosophically, the “deeper coherence” of Burke’s thought might help us address the broader social and cultural anxieties of the West today. The reasons for this shortfall, however, are themselves highly instructive.
The book comprises two complementary parts, “Life,” and “Thought.” The former, the author readily acknowledges, draws largely upon secondary sources, and, indeed, it conveys the broad spirit and strengths of a judicious blend of the biographies of Conor Cruise O’Brien and F.P. Lock, in particular. There is a passing reference to Russell Kirk and to Carl Cone, but the most prominent work of American scholarship is Harvey Mansfield Jr.’s Statesmanship and Party Government. Interpreted through the lens of his own parliamentary experience, Norman fits Burke’s early writings on faction and party in parliament into a picture of his strengths and weaknesses as a politician to provide a persuasive argument for crediting him with a consistent, progressive concept of party as, potentially, “a source of good government” against the corrosiveness of “faction.” This, indeed, Norman sees as one of the most distinguished aspects of Burke’s legacy. It is that same parliamentary experience, perhaps, (incorporating, in three short years, steeply rising status within Conservative and government policy offices, and one episode of rebellious dissent from the party whip, over House of Lords reform) that makes Norman so open to the great irony that Burke could be considered both “the first great theorist of political parties” and emphatically not a party man himself.
Norman’s willingness to let such ironies, or untidiness, stand has the advantage of loosening up his narrative of Burke’s parliamentary career for the insertion of refreshingly vivid historical background. Indeed, it is notable that Norman sub-titles his study “the first conservative” rather than “the founder of modern conservatism,” for the difference provides the space where those particular contexts can prepare us better for the composition and shaping of Burke’s political dispositions. While we clearly hear the familiar leitmotivs of the “Great Melody” of Burke’s four famous campaigns (Ireland, America, India, and France), Norman’s deliberately even and skillfully modulated treatment of those campaigns militates against the tendency to consider the first three only as a prelude to the defining fourth, the campaign against Jacobinism. (There must surely, now, be no excuse for anyone to persist in peddling Burke as a reactionary defender of aristocratic privilege or the drummer of an incipient British nationalism, though, by the evidence of some recent surveys of conservatism and counterrevolution, a few do, still, manage the feat.)
All this augurs well for the second, shorter, part of the book, which addresses Burke’s posthumous reputation and historical legacy and the relevance of his thought for politics today. Norman’s claims for Burke’s status as a politician and thinker are certainly ambitious, and they rest largely upon a robust fleshing out of the concept of the “social self” in Burke’s thought—the simple but compelling point that “Burke begins…with the fact of human society itself” (198). Entirely appropriately, this analytical theme serves as a bridge to connect an introduction tracing Burke’s posthumous reputation within and beyond the “Enlightenment” to a conclusion relating his particular strain of “Enlightened” thought to those of contemporary, post-modern critiques. Raised upon this conceptual bridge are chapters discussing: divergent ideas of “self,” “society,” and social contract theory; the emergence of constitutional concepts of ordered liberty and political representation; the threat to morality and social cohesion of “extreme individualism” in the West since the end of the Cold War; and moral and ethical perceptions of “value” related to strengthening the bands of civil society in an age of globalization. The whole structure sits neatly with Norman’s broader investment in a “Big Society” of reduced state-fostered dependency and revitalized “horizontal” links between citizen-grown, independent institutions.
The Burkean “mind” that Norman unfolds is vivid and subtle. As befits a student of Michael Oakeshott, it is a tapestry of related dispositions rather than a chiseled checklist of principles. The term “post-modern,” the definition of which Norman leaves judiciously ambiguous, is used, perhaps, too liberally to add much to the content of the ideas discussed, but it helpfully reinforces a sense of dynamism in Burke’s thought, of its inbuilt resistance to ideological labeling, and the analysis as a whole is supported from an impressively broad range of Burke’s writings (with only the now rather over-exposed Philosophical Enquiry suffering some injury from loose or forced applications). But the most compelling aspect of Norman’s analysis appears at those points in the book where politician and philosopher combine to highlight the central role institutions perform in Burke’s thought. This role is vital in explaining how Burke’s commitment to tradition and the wisdom of the ages is at the same time, and necessarily, a commitment to the progress and expansion of ordered liberty, from the locus where self and society are both reconciled and fulfilled. Norman argues that civic institutions such as Burke imagined them, independent of the state—that is, with organic roots that have been set “time out of mind”—and ranging from the local and parochial to the national and imperial, serve as the essential reservoirs and conveyors of social wisdom. To do so, however, they must also be animated by a moral quality, mediated through a rightly-oriented imaginative faculty that demands their members’ respect for their operation in trust and across the generations. This, at least, is what I take from Norman’s impressively rousing reference to an “extraordinary and distinctively Burkean imaginative engagement,” which he describes as “a balance between ego and circumstance, between ambition and constraint, between individuality and society”. Here is a “deeper coherence,” indeed, and a timely reminder of why Burke’s politics is antithetical to the ideological language rampant today.
This Burkean imagination is also really what cements Norman’s analytical bridge:
For Burke, what ultimately gives meaning to the world, what enchants it, is that it is a providential gift from God. But this in turn fires and feeds off the extraordinary human capacity for re-creative and empathetic imagination. It is through imagination that we understand not merely what is but what could be, not merely the constraints but the potential, not merely limitation but aspiration.
Of course, that trio of phrases raises more questions than it answers, and, whether this enlargement of the politikon zoon amounts to “a profound political achievement” on Burke’s part or not, Norman’s project now stands or falls on how convincingly he can capture and transmit the force of that imagination between the “post-modern” present and the world that Burke understood.
Ultimately, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that Norman’s presentation of the Burkean imagination, impassioned and informed as it is, falls short in convincing us of its post-modern significance. To some degree, this is a consequence of style. An accumulation of claims upon Burke—“the hinge of Anglo-American, and indeed the world’s, political modernity”; “the finest and greatest critic of many aspects of modernity itself”—jars increasingly with the established untidiness and ironies of Burke’s career. On a more fundamental level, however, while Norman lands some notable hits against Utilitarian and “New Whig” heresies, Part Two does not quite work its way round the (very British) problem that it is just extremely difficult to preach people into Burke with his “lost language of … honour, loyalty, duty, and wisdom”, however starkly the false lights to the Right and Left are exposed. At least, the task demands an accompanying, well-stocked arsenal of practical examples and illustrations that can serve as familiar contemporary coordinates for that crucial act of imaginative transference to which Burke’s rhetoric invites us. Rather, Norman musters an impressive range of data from social science research to expose the insufficiency of either liberal individualism or “social capital” to sustain a cohesive and free society, suggesting consequentially that the missing ingredient is just that Burkean moral imagination we have met above. The first maneuver is executed effectively; but it doesn’t, in itself, accomplish the latter. We still lack the fresh coordinates, rooted in the practical realities of people’s lives, without which Burke’s imaginative lexicon is unlikely to make much headway against the same skepticism or general indifference that has greeted successive Tocquevilleian or “little-platoon-centered” initiatives to push back the frontiers of the State. Indeed, with accelerating decline in church membership and the acquiescence of all major political parties in the entrenchment of the Big State (rollback caused by sheer fiscal necessity notwithstanding), it is difficult to see where on earth such contemporary coordinates may be found. Perhaps this explains the evident predisposition in a number of such initiatives toward Lord Bolingbroke and Hume, rather than Burke, as fathers of the modern conservative tradition—that more secular skeptical faculty offering friendlier and more familiar territory on which to engage a modern British audience.
None of this is to deny that Norman has done conservatives a great service in committing himself as far as he has along the road less travelled; but what more might he have done to close the loop on an authentic imaginative Burkean option? In the first part of the book, he acknowledges–a little gingerly, perhaps—the importance of religion and providence in Burke’s thought. In the second part, a bolder investigation was needed into how the connection between religion, providence, and morality fixes that “extraordinary and distinctively Burkean imagination.” For it was surely out of the nature of this connection that Burke derived both the rhetoric and the conviction necessary to embrace the paradox that individual identity achieves its realization only in realizing its social nature—that the mystery or inscrutability of the origins of political society will not only always be there but will always matter in the calculation and execution of public policy. Instead, if we seek direction, for instance, over how to view the development of those independent civic institutions of the “Big Society” within an increasingly multicultural (and “multiculturalist”) society, we find Norman floating Burke’s famous support for religious toleration (Ireland) and respect for foreign cultures (India) alongside the theories of contemporary cultural psychologist Richard Shweder on categories of ethical systems, the end being to reassert, as a priority of modern government, “the importance of moderate religious observance and moral community as a source of shared aims”. Note the bathetic effect of that word “moderate”—as if, at the end of this important discussion, a “moderate moral imagination” was what was being sought. Burke’s famous denunciation of “geographical morality” during the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, mentioned by Norman, may retain its purchase across thousands of miles of empire; but the question today is how it applies across the city or along the street. What has Burke to suggest once a secularized, albeit benevolent, State has become arbiter of the ethical conscience of the community precisely because diverse religious and cultural communities adhering to different assumptions about moral authority are no longer able to engage harmoniously across or within the nexus of intermediary institutions?
At such a point, Norman could have led us in his focus on the deeper coherence of Burke’s thought to a more direct examination of Burke’s understanding of natural law, drawing out collaterally the diversity and flexibility of that concept in considering, for instance, whether it contains the potential to address the evident crisis of multiculturalism through a radically new rhetoric and political perspective that avoids further resort to the mediation of the State. Even more important for the broader thrust of his analysis, Norman might have developed that aspect of Burke’s thought in pursuing the matter of what qualities and virtues—what moral or ethical sensibilities—citizens would need to steer those freshly-empowered and liberated institutions. Would conscience (in its true meaning and moral obligations) and character not be vital to the functioning of this “Big Society”? And how would we proceed then? Better education in “Citizenship”? More scholarships at prestigious public schools? Perhaps more unelected bishops in the House of Lords. If we want to speculate where Burke would have stood among such options, this much is certain: he did not consider the laws of morality to be either “universal” or “natural” because they were thrown up by the accidents of history, climate, and geography. It was never the intention of this committed Anglican to turn human nature inside out.
A second unexploited opportunity concerns the Anglo-American dimension of this analysis, of which Norman appears to make both much and little. On the one hand, occasional references to an Anglo-American tradition of representative government seem designed to elevate Burke’s significance as a thinker considerably. Aspects of his constitutional thought are compared with that of Jefferson and Adams in the early Republic, and later related to the principles of Abraham Lincoln (though this could more easily have been John C. Calhoun given the documentable evidence available). Neverthless, this remains a resolutely Anglocentric study. Norman mentions William Blackstone’s Commentaries, once in discussing the transmission of the Common Law tradition, and once to support his claim that Lincoln was “the very model of a Burkean political leader” (233-4); but, if the Anglo-American political tradition is to mean anything of substance in this discussion, it should, at least, lead us more deeply into shared, transatlantic juridical and cultural territories that may help in that imaginative transference from the world of the eighteenth century to the present. As also with the matter of natural law, the evidence of this open opportunity can be seen in the gaps in the bibliography—gaps that might widen the eyes of many regular visitors to this site. Indeed, one might almost get the frustrating impression that the now widespread British suspicion of American right-wing politics and religion, (famously and, evidently, enduringly hooked on to certain themes of Burke studies almost fifty years ago now), has intruded at just the point when such comparisons and discussions could yield useful results.
In his short but rich study Compassionate Conservatism, (a term he stresses is “entirely different from the conservatism of George W. Bush”), Norman argues that the genius of a Burkean conservative tradition lies in its capacity to hold the central political aspirations of individual liberty and community in a kind of paradoxical tension. This observation carries two corollaries: the untidy appearance, historically, of conservative principles in action (Norman illustrates this through Disraeli’s political career and legislative record); and the fact that, “What ultimately distinguishes conservatism from its rival creeds…is not so much the views it holds…as the way it holds them.” These are insights that rightly illuminate Norman’s perceptions of Burke and of his status and enduring significance as a political thinker. They also indicate a necessary stage in any argument on Burke’s intellectual legacy that appears lacking in this otherwise stimulating and encompassing book: “How can a study of Burke’s thought bring about a real shift in the language of politics sufficient to make that paradox of conservatism both intelligible and sensible to citizens, thereby equipping them better to negotiate and participate in the untidy institutional and civic relations that foster ordered liberty?” This would surely be a “third” or “post-modern” way worth pursuing: rendering ideological thinking unpopular, impractical, and even unprofitable in politics and in the academy, while rejecting the cynicism or unprincipled populism of so much of today’s public chatter. And should all that seem too ambitious or arcane for a study of this kind—well, with this challenging contribution by Jesse Norman in hand: “If not now, when?”

Let's make 2020 our best year yet!
After a long Christmas break, Remnants was back training and playing in early January. Our first game was cancelled by the opposition which gave us our 8th win in a row (7 league games and 1 friendly).
Instead we played a friendly game Rems vs Rems and took the opportunity to try out our new away kit!
Our second game in January was against a very strong Sevenoaks HC. Remnants HC managed to grab a draw after leading by two goals. We also climbed to second place in the league.
We are back at home this weekend against Bromley and Beckenham HC
Away from the pitch, we have two events coming up: Karaoke on 15 February and movie night at the Fellowship pub on 23 February. Speak to Sabela if you would like to attend.
Here are the dates for training sessions in February: 4th and 10th February at Colfe's school. We start at 7pm sharp. :)
Rush hockey sessions will resume soon when we have a new venue. Tati will send more info soon.

My latest piece for What Culture lists 8 examples of television sitcoms that had an episode where a baby was born on an elevator. Truth be told, it has happened more than eight times. I did the research.
The heart of the issue here is not silliness of the circumstances that lead pregnant women in TV world to get stuck on elevators moment before birth, but the complete lack of originality of writing in the entertainment industry. I say the entertainment industry, and not just television because it happens in movies, too… the recycling of old ideas. How many reboots and sequels are being produced right now? I have no idea, but it seems like a lot. Sam Raimi’s Spiderman trilogy made have ended poorly, but who really wanted a reboot so soon? Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy became the definitive Batman for at least a generation, but there’s still talks of another reboot.
I can’t think of any examples at the moment, but I don’t doubt that the same thing happens in fiction writing. Given the explosion of self-publishing—and even without it—the market is supersaturated with content. Even if everyone’s ideas were conceived individually, and without prior literary influence, there will be storylines that are similar.
When I conceived the idea of my novel, I actually made an attempt to determine if the idea had been done before. I’m fairly confident that it has not. If the plot idea had been done before, in largely the same way, I’d have likely scrapped the whole thing and come up with a new idea. I want to tell my own story and not rely on old, overused plotlines and gags in an attempt to gain interest. I wonder why television writers don’t feel the same way?

When reinventing an automotive icon, manufacturers are required to preserve the ethos of the original model while bringing the concept in line with modern technology. A difficult balance to achieve, but one the LEVC (London EV Company) claim to have done with the new TX.
To achieve the performance and efficiency levels demanded of modern vehicles, the TX represents a complete redesign compared to its predecessors. To enable this new approach, LEVC requested the involvement of Optimas Solutions.
A large battery pack and electric motor provides a pure EV range of over 70 miles – whilst the petrol range extender, a portable generator for the battery, takes total range of the vehicle up to 377 miles. The Electric Taxi will meet stringent emissions level restrictions in London and cities across Europe.
The new TX features a six seat configuration and a forward facing wheelchair position, coupled with a panoramic glass roof. On-board Wi-Fi as well as laptop and USB charging ports are available as standard. Furthermore, the it has a fully aluminium body in order to save weight and improve range.
However, redesigning an icon from the ground up requires consistent thinking from the smallest components upwards, as Ian Carvell, European Engineering Director at Optimas explained: “Specifying suitable fasteners and bolts to achieve a pioneering vehicle while minimising the cost to the manufacturer is a fine balance. That is why at Optimas we involved ourselves from the initial design phase of the project, so we could begin rationalising component options from the first preliminary builds. By this methodology, we could work in tandem with LEVC to tackle the engineering challenges associated with a new vehicle platform.”
Daniel Pereira, UK Engineering Manager at Optimas expanded: “What we are trying to achieve is increased supply chain simplicity by offering suitable alternative parts that can be delivered to tight deadlines. For example one of the first hurdles for this project was to ensure the verification prototypes were ready for the winter testing and shakedown season. Missing this window would delay the project by a year, which is unacceptable to LEVC and its investors. Therefore, we utilised parts that were reliable and freely available, or engineered alternatives where there was no stock forthcoming to ensure that LEVC could adhere to its testing schedule.”
“We held weekly ‘Fastener Clinics’ at three different design consultancies (Ricardo, Envisage and Emerald), so we could keep pace with the changing requirements of LEVC throughout the research and development process. By this regular contact, we were able to actively manage the bill of materials in order to supply parts for various new TX prototype stages to tight deadlines, despite the fact that many of the application challenges did not have officially released parts,” Carvell elaborates. “Considering the new TX incorporates over 2,000 individual parts designed specifically for the project, it was vital we kept regular contact to ensure we could integrate seamlessly with LEVC’s component requirements.”
The new TX will be introduced to British roads over the course of 2018, with models due to be exported to cities in Europe and Asia. LEVC isa able to produce 20,000 units at its new £325 million production facility.

In the mid-seventies I saw an illustration in a magazine that featured outlines and two or three pure hues. I had been emulating Matisse for a while and that simple painting suggested my next step. I began painting large bold outlines in burnt umber darkened with black, then filling in the shapes with nearly pure hue. I was exploring.
There are many discussions of how to break up the color wheel to achieve balance in a painting so I don’t need to belabor that here, but there is one important difference between Ostwald’s color wheel and everyone else’s. Ostwald stretches out the green arc to the point that green is treated like a fourth primary. The four “fundamental” colors are red, blue, yellow and sea green. Blue and yellow are complementaries, as are red and sea green.
We all learn early in school that mixing blue and yellow gives green.
But when blue and yellow are spun together, the result is gray, and since no clarification appears in the Primer, I offer one here.
The pigment, or subtractive primaries are blue, red and yellow; or, more professionally, cyan, magenta and yellow. These behave as we were taught in school.
The light, or addition primaries are red, green and blue. A pigment mixture of all three subtractive primaries in the appropriate ratio is a very dark gray. A mixture of light beams of all three light primaries is white.
The upshot is that, since red and green add to make yellow, an additive mixture of blue and yellow is actually a mixture of red, green and blue, with the potential of producing a neutral gray. Perhaps because of reluctance to demote yellow as a primary, Ostwald combines both sets of primaries, and winds up with four.
It seems reasonable to consider an additive combination from Ostwald’s wheel for a painting’s color balance. A composition of red, blue and green might feel quite right, such as a red barn, green trees and blue sky. Of course that employs just the simplest triad. (See In Burnham Park above.)
I am suggesting practice with divisions of Ostwald’s wheel for an experimental possibility. The Color Primer is a pretty good guide for building your own circle.
The paintings I have presented in this post were, in fact, such experiments.
But first I am going to get even more technical about balance.

People who are into editing or even have some insight in this line of the profession know, how hard it is to create a photorealistic 3D scene or image. Softwares like Autodesk 3DS Max, V Ray, etc. are used in creating these hyper-realistic scenes or images. It takes countless hours in creating and rendering, but now, NVIDIA has introduced its new studio drivers for the GeForce RTX or Quadro RTX card.
According to NVIDIA, this new update in drivers will accelerate the V-Ray GPU rendering by 40% which is pretty insane, and it will be convenient for the animators or content creators as the most tiresome part other than the creation is the rendering of the product so, with this process getting sped up by the new studio drivers there’s a good chance that it will increase the productivity of the people related to this field.
The rollout of this update will begin firstly for the V-Ray and then the Autodesk 3DS Max and lastly on Maya. These drivers will not only increase your rendering speed, but they will also accelerate the processing of your computer on various software like Unreal Engine, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc.
As stated, these studio drivers will only work on computers that have NVIDIA’S RTX series on their computers. The features of these drivers also vary from the software you are using like if you are using the Autodesk 3DS Max with these new studio drivers you can choose the conventional CUDA Path (Compute Unified Device Architecture) or control the rendering and get 40% more acceleration as we have talked before. You may have to update your Autodesk and various apps to get the drivers up and running them without any issues or lags.

The boat ploughed on. Now Alcatraz was past
There were not many at that lonely place,
There is darkness behind the light -- and the pale light drips
My friend went to the piano; spun the stool
Perhaps we go with wind and cloud and sun,
Well, I was tired of life; the silly folk,
He lay within a warm, soft world
After the whipping he crawled into bed,
The last pose flickered, failed. The screen's dead white
I shall go away
It was not when temptation came,
The grey gulls drift across the bay
"Oh yes, I went over to Edmonstoun the other day and saw Johnny, mooning around as usual! He will never make his way."
Gods, what a black, fierce day! The clouds were iron,
"Ah, did you once see Shelley plain?" -- Browning.
The Planting of the Hemp.
A Pharaoh Speaks.
Eternally the choking steam goes up
Black trees against an orange sky,
(France -- Ancient Regime.)
The moon, a sweeping scimitar, dipped in the stormy straits,
"But, sir," I said, "they tell me the man is like to die!"

The curator at The Tank Museum in Dorset has told Forces News it would be a mistake if the British Army decided to get rid of its tanks.
It follows a report by The Times which suggested military chiefs are considering plans to scrap the Army's fleet of Challenger 2 tanks and Warrior armoured fighting vehicles to focus on new capabilities, such as cyber warfare.
David Willey told Forces News the tank is "still a very credible weapons system" and is likely to continue to be for "decades to come".
"If we want to 'remain in the game'... if we want to have a credible defence, tanks are still part of that make-up that means you’re a serious army," he said.
"Even though they’ve been around for 100 years, they have something about them, not just their psychological impact, but the fact they’ve got mobility, the fact they’ve got firepower, the fact they’ve got protection – they’re three things soldiers have wanted for thousands of years.
"It’s very hard to see any army in the future not requiring that.
"Of course if they go, they go, but if anyone argues they’ve come to the end of their working life – look on the news, look around the world, tanks are being used all over the place still."
He added tanks are "the epitome" of what he calls "hard power", and their all-round ability makes them unparalleled as a battlefield force.
The report by The Times claimed the Government is to look at the plans as the cost of upgrading the vehicles has soared.
It said the UK is now "sounding out" NATO partners for an overhaul in its contribution to the military alliance and is hoping to focus on taking a new leadership role in attack aviation - offering all of its 50 Apache helicopters to the allies.
Mr Willey said despite the Apache's capability, it still cannot replace some of the work done by tanks.
He said: "Apache has to leave the battlefield, a tank can remain on the battlefield, so it can hold ground.
"Apache looks dramatic, looks fantastic, you or I could attack it with a tin opener and do a lot of damage. You’re not going to do that with a Challenger tank."
"It [Apache] has stunningly good presence but it’s still not like when people turn up with tanks - quite often it stops the fight even breaking out," he continued.
Mr Willey also pointed out how other NATO nations are in fact strengthening their tank fleet, rather than reducing it.
He warned the UK must "tread very carefully" as it may not be part of NATO forever.
"Really seriously, without a tank you are at a major disadvantage in many situations," he continued.
According to reports, the move is part of proposals to radically modernise the UK Armed Forces.
While Mr Willey admitted tanks might not last forever, he said right now there is "very little that can replace the tank".

Opioids can impair the immune system and lead to illnesses such as meningitis and pneumonia.
Taking prescription opioids may significantly increase a person’s risk of developing dangerous infections that could lead to meningitis and pneumonia, according to a new study out today.
Doctors have known for years that prescription opioids can suppress the immune system. But they weren’t sure exactly which infections these patients were at increased risk of contracting.
The researchers used the Tennessee Medicaid database and the Active Bacterial Core surveillance system to see what links they could find between opioid use and bacterial disease.
Andrew Wiese, PhD, MPH, a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of health policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and lead author of the study, said researchers wanted to better understand the side effects of prescription opioid use.
Studies “have shown that certain opioids can cause immunosuppression,” he said. “They can disrupt the innate immune system.”
Wiese and his co-authors looked at 1,233 patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and compared them to 24,399 control participants.
They found those with IPD were more likely to be using a prescription opioid than the control group. More than 25 percent of those with IPD were on opioids, compared to 14 percent of the control group.
They also found that patients with IPD were more likely to be using long-acting, high-potency opioids.
Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. In invasive cases, the disease can lead to serious complications, such as meningitis, invasive pneumonia, or bacteremia, the spreading of bacteria into the bloodstream.
Wiese said he hoped the research would help both doctors and patients be better informed about prescription opioid risks.
“I think for both providers who prescribe opioids and for patients that receive opioids, this is more information that they should consider when making the decision to prescribe or receive opioids,” Wiese said.
Dr. Amy Edwards, an infectious disease physician at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, said that doctors still don’t have a lot of options in terms of pain reliever medication.
“We’re basically limited to opioids and Tylenol. There’s not a lot in between,” she told Healthline. “It does tie our hands to a certain extent that there’s not a lot of variety out there.”
While she said that study findings weren’t surprising, she thought they added to a growing body of research on how opioids affect the immune system. She said she hoped in the future that research could clarify which opioids are less likely to impact the immune system.
“One thing that I think would be very interesting… would be, are there opioids that do this more and ones that do this less?” she said.
She pointed out that clear information on which opioids are safer could be key for doctors treating intubated patients in an ICU setting.
Dr. Alan Mensch, senior vice president of medical affairs at Northwell Health’s Plainview and Syosset Hospitals in New York, said these findings could be especially worrying in light of the ongoing opioid crisis.
An explosion of opioid use, especially illicit opioid use, in recent years has led to tens of thousands of fatal overdoses annually.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 115 fatal overdoses from opioids every day.
Mensch pointed out these IV drug users may be especially immunocompromised and at risk for these complications.
“I don’t know if anyone has looked at it, but it would be an interesting thing to look at,” he said. “We should be more concerned about [this] community… IV drug users getting more infections,” he told Healthline.

One of the first steps in creating a debt management strategy for your household is to know what kind of problem you are dealing with. Your debts probably include a few different types of loans or credit accounts, ranging from a mortgage to student loans, car loans, personal loans, home equity loans, credit cards, medical bills, accounts in collection, retail store credit lines, loans from family members or even payday loans. Adding up all of your debts can be sobering, but it will help you develop a repayment strategy that is financially best for you.
Gather all of your bills from the past month. If you have online billing for any of your debts, sign into the accounts online to obtain information from your most recent bill.
Look up the remaining balance listed on each of the bills. This also may be listed as “amount owed” or “principal balance” in some cases. Subtract the amount of the payment you made on that bill, if you have already sent in your payment for the month.
Write down the name of each debt and the amount owed on a piece of paper.
Obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the three credit bureaus through the Annual Credit Report website. If you have already received your free report this year, you will have to pay for the report.
Compare the amounts owed on each of the accounts listed on your credit report to the list you made from your bills. Some of the amounts may be different if your lenders have not yet updated the credit bureau on your payments or charges from the current month. If the amounts are radically different and you do not know why, call your lender and ask for an explanation of the discrepancy between your bill and your credit report.
Identify any accounts listed on your credit report that you did not already have on your list. If you are aware of the account, find the current bill by looking through your household paperwork or logging into the online account. If you were not aware of the account, look up the lender’s phone number and call to find out what the debt is from and what the current amount owed is.
Add up the total amounts owed from all of the debts on your list. This is how much you are in debt.
If you find a debt on your credit report that does not belong to you, you may be a victim of identity theft. Visit the Federal Trade Commission website on identity theft to find out what steps to take to remove this account from your credit report.

With over 13 years of experience in the swimming industry, we provide swimming lessons for students from as young as 2 months old.
If you are looking for the answer to you or your families swimming struggles? Look no further!
We are fully qualified to teach autistic, down syndrome children, babies as young as 2 months to fully grown adults thanks to our over 13 years of experience in different countries taking the best of the programs out there.
We highly encourage parents to come along, meet other families and watch some lessons before committing to courses. It is important to understand the KICK-FLOAT-KICK methodology is different from other swimming programs as it focuses on floating first. Come and watch how fantastic our students swim and float confidently and independently.
Meet Miguel, Co-Founder
A former full-time lifeguard, competitive swimmer and a proffessional swimming teacher, unnaturally Miguel started to swim when he was only 6 years old. It was a distraction from a rare back and skin condition he suffered with from birth...
At that time I was living in Madrid, Spain. My doctor advised my father to take me to the sea to bath and heal my skin. Every day my dad managed to keep in the cold sea by showing me all the sea horses and fish that hid under the sea weed. after many months, one day like a miracle my back and skin problem went away and I was left in love with water.
Persuing his aquatic passion Miguel did almost every possible swimming qualification until he found the final piece of the puzzle in the USA when he learnt the only method where children learn from the age of 2 months how to be safe in the water. He believed this method may be the reason why USA takes all the medals at the Olympics.
In 2012 Miguel moved to the UK and founded ISA with Silvia with a commitment to making the water a safer place for swimmers and making sure no student EVER gets left behind!
“Safety is first, that’s why Kick-Float-Kick is so important to us."
UNSURE? FILL IN THE CONTACT FORM AND WE'LL BE IN TOUCH!
Meet Silvia, Co-Founder
She has a passion for water sports, physical activities and of course swimming since she was 4 years old, and has always loved the water and slides. However it wasn't always that way...
I remember my beginner swimming lessons being scary. We learnt in a big class. The instructor made us jump in at the deep end before we had properly learnt to float or swim. I remember those who struggled to learn were often left out of the fun activities. I don't think everyone even after many hours of lessons ever learnt how to confidently swim. Big swimming classes are not ideal for beginners. Unfortunately they are still very popular around Europe teaching outdated methods by which the instructor says "kick your legs like this" instead of adopting a hands on approach and giving the child the individual support they need.
Since 2012 she has been working for some important swimming companies in London teaching all kind of lessons including Parent & Baby lessons that do not offer lessons that actually teach babies how to be independent and swim. In 2014 she joined Miguel to set up ISA and later in the USA to become qualified instructors of the Kick-Float-Kick method in the UK.

Britain's Bradley Wiggins finished in the main bunch as he retained the overall lead of the Tour de Romandie.
Team Sky controlled the pace on the 149.1km stage in Switzerland to ensure Wiggins maintained his seven-second lead over team-mate Michael Rogers.
"Once again, they were incredible," said Wiggins of his team-mates. "You're nothing without a good team and they're probably the strongest in the race."
The second stage of the five-stage race was won by France's Jonathan Hivert.
The Saur-Sojasun rider won a sprint finish ahead of Rui Costa and Luis Leon Sanchez to end Team Sky's winning streak after Geraint Thomas won the prologue and Wiggins took the first stage.
The Brit now faces three more stages to hold on to the race leader's yellow jersey.
Wiggins finished 42nd in the race from Montbeliard to Moutier and holds a lead over Australian Rogers in second, with third-placed Bauke Mollema two seconds further back and two riders 11 seconds adrift in joint-fourth.
Team Sky's sprint specialist Mark Cavendish finished more than eight minutes behind the leaders after suffering a mechancial problem at the foot of the category two La Caquerelle climb.
Friday's third stage is a 157.6km ride from La Neuveville to Charmey which features three categorised climbs and a five-kilometre uphill finish.

Despite a valiant attempt to hold off No. 6 Clarkson on Friday night, yet the Yale men’s hockey team fell 3–1 to the Golden Knights before tying St. Lawrence 2–2 on their Empire State road trip.
The weekend commenced against a strong ECAC foe Clarkson (19–6–2, 12–3–0 ECAC Hockey), who ranks first in the league and sixth in the nation. However, the Bulldogs (9–11–1, 6–7–1), undeterred by the home team’s prowess or the memory of its November 4–1 victory over the Elis, gave a strong showing in the North Country. Forward Tyler Welsh ’21 put up the only goal for Yale late in the first frame. However, it was only in the dying embers of the third when the Knights capitalized on an empty net that Blue and White truly fell out of contention for the win. Against St. Lawrence (3–20–4, 1–13–1), the weakest ECAC link, the Bulldogs held a 2–1 lead early in the third, yet the Saints bounced, and the score finalized at two apiece.
“Our game against Clarkson was overall a solid effort despite coming out on the losing end,” defenseman Michael Young ’23 said. “They are at the top of the ECAC right now as they are a strong, talented team, and we battled with them for the full 60 minutes. Against St. Lawrence on Saturday, we were facing a team that is better than their record shows … there were times when we were on our heels and times when we dictated the pace of play, too.”
Though the Bulldogs eventually fell 3–1 to Clarkson, the Blue and White put up a dogged fight unrepresented by the final score. Just over 10 minutes passed before either side registered on the scoreboard. The Knights eventually struck first and Clarkson acquired a comfortable 2–0 lead on a series of power plays. Welsh proved to be the only Bulldog to crack Clarkson star goalie Frank Marotte less than a minute after the Knights’ second tally. Yale forced a turnover on the Clarkson blue line and forward Justin Pearson ’22 delivered the biscuit to Welsh — who shot between the pipes from the slot.
After a scoreless second period, the Elis vied for an equalizer in the third. With under two minutes left, a tripping penalty on a Clarkson player and the removal of netminder Corbin Kaczperski ’20 set Yale up for a two-man advantage. Unfortunately for the visiting team, the Blue and White failed to capitalize, and the Knights found the open net with one second left in the game.
The Golden Knights now lead the conference in points, just ahead of No. 1 Cornell.
“I think the biggest thing for us this weekend was our commitment to team defense, which was really good,” defenseman Matthew Foley ’20 said. “We didn’t get the results we wanted, but that’s definitely something we’re going to build around going forward and should help us string together some wins.”
The next day, the Blue and White took a 10-minute drive down U.S. Route 11 for its matchup against St. Lawrence. The game was a low-scoring battle defined by quick answers to opposing goals. It was the home team that kicked off the scoring first, with a Saint in the neutral zone dishing out a cross-ice assist to forward Keenan Suthers. Suthers one-timed it from the edge of the blue paint to give his squad a 1–0 lead.
Five minutes later, it seemed that lady luck was in attendance for the Bulldogs in the newly renovated Appleton Arena. Pearson, stationed at the left hash on a man advantage, took a shot that the Saint’s goalie did an excellent job of getting a left pad on. Yet, the biscuit miraculously took an odd bounce, hit the post and trickled into the net past the unsuspecting goalie to equalize the game at one.
Both defenses buckled down throughout the second period, with the Elis making key plays. St. Lawrence accumulated three power play opportunities during the middle frame, yet, somehow, Yale prevented the Saints from nearing the crease.
In the opening minutes of the final period, it was another series of unfortunate events for the Saints netminder. After stopping back-to-back shot attempts from forward Luke Stevens ’20 and Young, forward Kevin O’Neil ’21 was in the right place at the right time to jam home the rebound from the edge of the blue paint to give his team a 2–1 advantage.
Yet, in a game of answers, St. Lawrence fulfilled the narrative. Less than a minute after O’Neil’s goal, Suthers cleaned up a rebound from the post for his second goal of the night. With the score tied at two, Yale had a chance to break the tie in the waning seconds of the period with a power play. Nevertheless, St. Lawrence’s defense came up big in holding the Bulldogs shotless. In a closely competitive game, a new chapter was added — overtime.
While the Elis outshot the Saints 4–1 in the extra frame and were gifted a man-advantage in the last 51 seconds, the puck did not hit the back of the net for Yale. The game finished in a tie for the season’s first time for the Bulldogs, who now move to 6–7–1 in conference play.
“Although we wanted to come away with two points, picking up a point is valuable nonetheless,” Young said. “The past weekend highlights how much parity there is within the ECAC, as we faced the top team and the last-place team, and both games were hard fought battles.”
The Bulldogs return to the Whale next weekend to compete against No. 18 Quinnipiac and Princeton.

Judge Jim Ames, Volunteer Mediator for DRS North Texas, Receives National Award
June 10, 2016
(Fort Worth, Texas)… Dispute Resolution Services of North Texas has learned that the National Association for Community Mediation’s (NAFCM) nomination committee named Judge Jim Ames the winner of the Second Quarter of 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Award.
DRS North Texas Inc. nominated Judge Ames for the award in hopes that he would receive the national recognition merited by his commitment to serving Tarrant County’s communities through volunteerism.
A U.S. Air Force veteran and graduate of Baylor University, Judge Ames has been a practicing attorney since 1976 and a mediator since 1991. He is a member of the State Bar of Texas, Tarrant County Bar Association and the Family Law Bar Association. He has served as a past judge of the Hurst Euless Bedford Teen Court and additionally has served on several organizations’ board of directors including the board for DRS North Texas.
“Judge Ames has a natural talent for thinking of creative options for resolution, especially with obstinate parties,” stated Volunteer Coordinator Linda Bass, ”This is a talent one could only wish could be harvested and perhaps passed on to other mediators.”
His volunteer work as a Level II Mediator for DRS North Texas has contributed greatly to the overall success of the agency’s Level II Mediation Program. Level II mediation is similar to Level I mediation. The difference between the types is that in a Level II mediation parties select one volunteer to act as the mediator instead of having co-mediators assigned by staff. According to the organization, Judge Ames’ active participation in the program has helped increase referrals for Level II mediation.
DRS North Texas has as a fleet of skilled professional mediators at several levels. The national recognition is welcomed by the agency. “Deciding on a volunteer to nominate was arduous,” said staff, “But in the end, it was Judge Ames’ persistence, capacity to bring disputing parties to a resolution, and ability to manage the tempo and direction of the mediation process that led to his nomination.”
A recap of Judge Jim Ames receiving the “Outstanding Volunteer Award” is available at http://www.nafcm.org/news/292455/Judge-Jim-Ames-Named-NAFCM-Outstanding-Volunteer.htm
Serving Tarrant County and surrounding areas, Dispute Resolution Services of North Texas Inc. is a non-profit community dispute resolution organization of professional volunteer mediators who provide affordable mediation services and teach mediation and dispute and conflict resolution, an effective alternative to litigation.

Everyone knew what was coming. Iraqi VP Tariq al-Hashimi was found guilty, then sentenced to death, this week. Despite a pending appeal, it seems his political bloc has abandoned him, swapping a VP for a Deputy

The verdict was hardly surprising. On Monday Iraq’s highest court sentenced Iraqi Vice President, Tariq al-Hashimi, to death for his alleged involvement in death squads involved in over 150 attacks over six years.
A warrant against al-Hashimi was issued late in 2011 - it sparked a political crisis in Iraq that pitted Shiite Muslim politicians against Sunni Muslim politicians - and the court case against him has been underway for four and a half months already, having started on May 15.
Avoiding arrest and describing the charges as politically motivated, al-Hashimi fled first to the semi-autonomous state of Iraqi Kurdistan and then onto Turkey, where he remained during the case; he was tried in absentia and Turkey has said it will not send him back to Iraq.
Indeed, from the first day of the trial, al-Hashimi predicted he would be sentenced to death. His son-in-law, Ahmed Qahtan, who is also his aide and office manager, was also sentenced to death. Qahtan is not in custody either and believed to be in Turkey too.
During the trial, a number of al-Hashimi’s security staff confessed to taking part in bombing and assassination under orders from al-Hashimi and Qahtan and as a result of this evidence, both men were convicted for their alleged parts in the murders of a female lawyer and an officer in the Iraqi Interior Ministry, Taleb Balasem, together with his wife, Siham Ismail. A third murder charge against the general director at the Ministry of National Security was dismissed by the judge because of lack of evidence.
Al-Hashimi himself has said he won’t return to Iraq unless he can be guaranteed a fair trial that would not be influenced by current Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whom he accuses of wielding too much influence and of pursuing a vendetta against him and other political opponents.
“Al-Hashimi can be given another trial if he rejects to his trial in absentia,” a spokesperson for the court, Abdul Sattar al-Berqdar, said. But even he noted that it would difficult for al-Hashimi, who is still the country’s Vice President, to make that decision. Under Iraqi law, it is his right to return to Iraq within 30 days and demand a retrial.
The political bloc to which al-Hashimi belongs – the Iraqiya list, which is the major opposition group in the Iraqi Parliament – held an emergency meeting after the verdict was issued. The bloc issued a statement condemning the judgment and also appealed to other political parties, such as the Kurdish politicians’ bloc and the Sadrists, to take their side in this argument.
However, pundits believe that something else every different is going on behind the scenes. They believe that the Iraqiya party has actually long since abandoned al-Hashimi.
Because of the wide variety of backgrounds of the various constituent parties, the Iraqiya bloc has been close to fracturing during its time in opposition. And, seeing al-Hashimi as a lost cause, they have decided instead to back Saleh al-Mutlaq, currently one of two Deputy Prime Ministers of Iraq.
Rather than having two of their members lose some of the most senior political jobs in the country, they have decided to back al-Mutlaq.
Al-Mutlaq, one of three deputy prime ministers, has been away from politics since the beginning of the year when he criticized al-Maliki, calling him a dictator. Al-Maliki sacked al-Mutlaq and he, in turn, boycotted Parliament. But he recently returned to work after what was described as a “historic meeting” between himself and al-Maliki.
And it is for this reason, that Iraqiya is supporting al-Hashimi with words rather than deeds.
Iraqiya called upon other political parties in Iraq to make “decisions that reflect the magnitude of this crisis and that maintain the national cohesion and social fabric of the country.”
Also making regretful noises about the court’s verdict against al-Hashimi was Jalal Talabani, the current President of Iraq, who is seen by many as an important mediator in the current political crisis.
"It is regrettable that at this specific time such a verdict is issued against him while he still occupies his post," said Talabani, who also noted that the decision might exacerbate political tensions and instability and hinder efforts at a national reconciliation between the current Prime Minister and his opponents, who have been trying to unseat him.
Then Talabani went on to say that just because he was expressing his opinion did not mean that he wanted to interfere with the judiciary or their decisions. “It only reflects the hopes of the President of the Republic and his quest to avoid anything that might stand in the way of the country’s progress.”
Noticeably Talabani didn’t make any reference to the issue of signing the al-Hashimi’s death warrant. The office of the Iraqi President must sign this document. But judging by the way Talabani acted when it came to sign former leader, Saddam Hussein’s death warrant, it seems unlikely that he’ll be keen to sign al-Hashimi’s.
In 2005, Talabani avoided signing Hussein’s death warrant, saying he was opposed to capital punishment, and he did the same again in 2010, when it came time to sign the death warrant of former deputy Prime Minister under Hussein, Tariq Aziz.
In the former case, one of his deputies signed Hussein’s death warrant and it’s thought that this time another deputy, Khudair al-Khuzaei, a Shiite Muslim who is apparently close to the Prime Minister al-Maliki, will sign on Talabani’s behalf, if the verdict is upheld after appeals.
Because as it is, the death warrant has yet to become final. Following the court’s verdict, the head of al-Hashimi’s defence team, Muayad al-Azzi, submitted an appeal to the Court of Appeal. Al-Azzi believes the verdict must be challenged because it was based on the testimony of some of al-Hashimi’s personal security staff, whom, he says, were tortured and their confessions obtained under duress.
“The whole case needs to be revisited,” al-Azzi told NIQASH. The lawyer remains optimistic about the possibility that the verdict might be overturned. “Everything was done far too quickly,” he said. “And the ruling wasn’t fair because the investigation was not fair.”
However the Iraqi people and their beleaguered Vice President won’t remain in suspense for too long. In only a few weeks the final decision by Iraq’s highest court will have been made.

Present: Ian Jackson (Director of Lambeth First), Duncan, Margaret, Martin (Buildings and Energy)
Lambeth First is the Local Strategic Partnership and includes the Council Chief Executive, Executives from the Police, the Hospital Trusts, the University etc etc
Key elements of structure are:
- The Strategic Board which produces the Sustainable Community Strategy – the 10-15 year vision of Lambeth’s overall direction of travel. It focusses very strongly on worklessness and the financial exclusion of businesses
- The Sustainable Community Strategy will be refreshed next year
- Below the Strategic Board are a series of Thematic Partnerships including:
- Health and Well-being - Place Partnership including sustainability and climate change - Just reforming. Talking about getting some representation from the Sustainability Forum which TTB is a member of.
Ian is interested in what a Peak Oil borough would look like, the sort of jobs it would have, and the sort of community networks. We noted that Bristol Council commissioned a Peak Oil report.
Fiona Booth from Lambeth has been very active in proposing sustainability action on the public sector side, particularly the Town Hall, and including an energy audit of the top 20 companies eg IBM, Shell. Fiona would be likely to welcome any auditors from our B & E Group. We discussed the need for carbon reduction to be in all officials’ targets including managers’. Also to get insulation of homes added on to the Decent Homes targets.
Action: Martin – to consider contacting Fiona
Sophie has been talking to Penny Noy about what the Lambeth Food Strategy should look like.
Ian commented on the fact that Greenwich has so many more food co-ops than Lambeth. Ian believes that life will become more localised
Action: Duncan to send Ian a copy of TTB’s ‘Community Growing Guide’
Duncan advised that in future policies will have to be driven by need, resources and opportunities with a focus initially on dealing with what is really wasteful and damaging. A needs and opportunities analysis is key. Recycling and reuse will generate very many jobs. Ideally, we can get rid of skips replacing them with a builder’s bag for building materials and a rack for other things. Ian advised that this is best taken forward through the Sustainability Forum. We noted that Camden produced an excellent report on Waste followed up by in-service training for council officials
Action: Duncan and TTB to pursue through the Sustainability Forum
Next Achievable Steps
Actions: Ian to talk to Fiona Booth
Ian to consider the approach to pursuing these sorts of issues with the various partners in Lambeth First eg Hospitals, University. We may need equivalents to the Sustainability Action Plan across all the partners.
Duncan expressed TTB’s aim to be part of Lambeth First.
Ian said the possible routes are:
1.Two members of the Sustainability Forum sit on the Place Partnership
2.Two community advocates from the Voluntary/ community sector sit on the Strategic Board. They are appointed by a group of community advocates which forms an electoral college.
3.There are also 2 places for the voluntary sector on the Strategic Board. LVAC takes one. This is a possible opportunity.
4.The Strategic Board has a capacity to call people for particular purposes
The next board will be 1st or 2nd week in February. Meets every quarter.
Actions: Duncan to talk to Steve Reed and suggest we should sit on the Strategic Board while the Sustainability Community strategy is being renewed.
Duncan and Ian to co-ordinate their conversations with Steve Reed about this

I'm thrilled to be participating in the Prayer Flag Blog Hop. As you know, I love prayer flags and have made a number of them (see them here)
Here's what I created from the Prayer Flag Value pack, which included the ready made linen banners and the ebook
|purchase a copy of the Prayer Flag e-book!|
First I got out my trusty Gelli printing plates and rubber bands, to add a bit of color and texture to the linen flags
and grabbed some fabric that I had printed before using the same technique.
I cut out circles from the printed fabric and fused them to the printed flags.
Then, I cut out the images from my fabric yardage, with my designs (that you can purchase) and fused those to the flags.
I wanted to build up a layered background on the flags.
Lastly, I stamped some meaningful words and phrases on the flags.
I plan on finishing my prayer flags with a little bit of hand stitching when I have time.
And please do visit The Prayer Flag Project blog, to upload your own prayer flags, or just be inspired and uplifted by others.

HOLISTIC MINDFULNESS - AN OVERVIEW OF THE PEAK EXPERIENCES
TIME PRESSURES? - DIFFICULTY GETTING TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE?
Our Mind-Created sense of "Who I Am" (self-identity, personality) is the main source of our insecurities and issues! Step out of the big drama of "Me and My Life" to find a more secure sense of who you are...
How??.......In STILLNESS we discover who we REALLY are, and can then REDUCE our exhausting and time-consuming games of analysing, labelling, judging and controlling the world around and inside us. We then experience "simply being" - in this experience ["PRESENCE"] we find the peace, stability, beauty, wonder, magic, joy and love that our mind can never give us!
Why reduce your life to either 'AUTOPILOT LIVING' or 'THOUGHTS & OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS'? These can never bring you the deep, fulfilling and sustainable joy and fulfilment that you yearn for. Only through physically, emotionally, spiritually and sensually living in the full flow of the present moment can your passionate and loving heart be warmed, your soul nourished, and your life's purpose found and fulfilled!

Time is of the essence, divas. Let’s do the Grammys quick and dirty..
Best Dressed: BLUE IVY CARTER and JAY-Z
Blue Ivy’s suit and purse by Gucci
Blue Ivy cosplayed as Prince, and accessorized with a $2,000 purse shaped like a cat that was completely empty.
If that doesn’t deserve Best Dressed at the Grammys, what the fuck does?
Runner-Up: BEYONCÉ KNOWLES
gown by Peter Dundas
What a flawless outfit for a Grammys performance. Although, did Bey technically perform at the Grammys, or did she lead a spiritual revolution of sensuality and motherhood that will live on in my memory for all eternity?
gown by Peter Dundas
Yes, she was robbed for album of the year, but look! She has twin Grammys, one for each of the future superheroes currently residing in her womb!
Honorable Mention: JASON DERULO
tuxedo by Dolce & Gabbana
Um, I fucking love this. Work that coat, honey.
gown by Givenchy
Great look. Love that Adele is no longer married to that heavy old-Hollywood makeup/black gown combo. It was a solid look, but it got exhausting after awhile, so it’s nice to see her in something new and different.
gown by Givenchy
She’s still in plenty of makeup, but for Adele, this was practically bare-faced, and she has never looked more beautiful. Love this print on her.
gown by Roberto Cavalli
Glam and dark and delicious. I would have judged the wet-head look in a different context, but it’s perfect for the Grammys.
gown by Elie Madi
Too long, but the color and texture are divine.
dress by Bryan Hearns, shoes by Stuart Weitzman
Classic Grammys wear, in that I would laugh at it in any other venue. But an LBD with metal embellishments that basically leaves your whole body hanging out? That shit is Grammys to a tee. Also, props on showing off the actual skin instead of illusion netting. Laverne slays.
gown by Zuhair Murad
I’d always heard the drag scene in Emerald City was pretty great, but I never knew it for sure until now.
jacket by Balmain
Great jacket, pathetic excuse for a shirt.
gown by Gucci
Literally no one else on earth could make this work. Even Solange only half-does.
gown by Iris van Herpen, shoes by Stuart Weitzman
I don’t even know what I’m looking at, and I still like it. Is that normal? What is this strange power that all Knowles women have over me?
gown by Badgley Mischka, purse by Edie Parker
Aw, look at this little country star! This is a great color on her, even if the whole outfit feels way too sweet ‘n darlin’ for this particular venue.
top and skirt by Armani, jewelry by Chopard
I would love to get to the point in my career where I can commission clothing custom-made to show off my tattoos. But I’d hope said clothing would be a little more interesting than a bedazzled sports bra and a skirt the size of a Car2Go.
top and skirt by Roberto Cavalli
Unless you’re going for hot neon pink, or a dark shade far from your skin tone, PINK EYESHADOW DOES NOT WORK ON THE RED CARPET. YOU JUST LOOK SLEEPY AND SICKLY. EVERYONE STOP THIS RIGHT NOW.
suit by Gucci
It’s fine, but he could have had a little more fun with his outfit.
jumpsuit by Balmain, purse by Kotur
Just looking at her makes me feel very old, but I don’t actually hate this. I just recognize that I’m about a hundred years too old for it to be an aesthetic I can actually understand.
top and skirt by Tom Ford
Oof. No thank you.
jacket by Alex Ulichny
What am I even supposed to do with this? Can I justify a chest-less jacket? Of course not. But would I deny Gaga the right to go full leather and latex fantasy all over this red carpet? Not in a million years.
dress by Philipp Plein, shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti
This is actually far less hideous than most of what she’s worn in the last several years, but it’s also not interesting enough for me to give two shits about.
gown by Julien Macdonald
I’d be more intrigued by this if it hadn’t been worn by every woman in Taylor Swift’s squad like six times this year.
gown by Thai Nguyen, shoes by Aldo
TARAJI P. HENSON
dress by Marc Jacobs
Too tight and weirdly juvenile.
gown by Ralph & Russo, shoes by Christian Louboutin
J.Lo hasn’t updated her wardrobe since 1997.
CHANCE THE RAPPER
suit by Thom Browne
Love the shoes. Everything else about this makes him look about eight years old.
gown by Vivienne Westwood
Bunchy, ill-fitting, and weird.
Worst Dressed: HALSEY
top and pants by Christian Wijnants
NEVER. HALF-ASS. A TLC. HOMAGE. How fucking DARE you. You wanna do a TLC throwback lewk? You need to be on Tatianna from RuPaul’s Drag Race level.
SUCK IT, WHOEVER-YOU-ARE. TATIANNA DID IT SO MUCH BETTER.

The Women Who Are Clearing the Minefields in Sri Lanka
Victory Monument stands close to the site of the ultimate battlefield of Sri Lanka’s civil war in Puthukkudiyiruppu. The monument was dedicated by then-Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who is now operating for president. Rajandran Barathamatha, fifty five, stands exterior a protest tent in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka covered with photographs https://asianbrides.org/sri-lankan-women/ of some of the tens of 1000’s of peoe who went missing in Sri Lanka’s 26-12 months civil war. Her son was amongst them. Ilagan Udaya Kumari (from left), 50, whose husband went lacking; Analaxmi Ariaratnam, 70, whose son disappeared; and Sangara Pilay Vanalogini, fifty three, whose son went missing.
These ladies entail all of the attributes men desire and more, making the final word candidate for a perfect wife. With the introduction of on-line relationship, these mail order brides can now be contacted simply and talked to. Rarely do you ever find nicely behaved and mannered women on this twenty first century who preserve the dictates of tradition and faith in living a reserved and simple life. Now that Sri Lanka still has them in a lot, men should rush there while they nonetheless last.
Mothers and other family members of some of the tens of thousands of people that disappeared in Sri Lanka’s 26-12 months civil war have been protesting in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka, to lift awareness of their plight. Female literacy rate in Sri Lanka is among the many highest on the earth.
SLTC Launches Sri Lanka’s First School of Music in a Non-State University
Under her management, Sri Lanka gained appreciable recognition on the international stage. At present, she a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, the Global Leadership Foundation and is a frequent panelist and member of the Clinton Global Initiative. Having served three terms as Prime Minister, she created what would ultimately be the Sri Lankan Ministry of Women and Child Affairs and also appointed the first woman to serve within the Sri Lankan Cabinet. She was a key player in decreasing tensions between India and China in 1962 and was identified for her capability to diplomatically balance East-West relations.
Sri Lanka – Population, Female (% Of Total)
Sri Lanka boasts of its fertility evidenced by the beautiful young and old girls who grace Sri Lankan streets, villages, and cities with their obtrusive magnificence. Shafi was detained after a Sinhalese-language every day published unsourced allegations that he had sterilised 4,000 women from the Buddhist-majority population. Communal tensions in Sri Lanka are at boiling level for the reason that Easter Sunday (Apr 21) suicide bombings by Islamist militants of church buildings and resorts, which left 258 useless and hundreds wounded. Such problems appear more severe in Sri Lanka than elsewhere, says Hema Bansal of Accion, a global non-profit organisation. Leasing and housing-finance corporations lend without assessing capacity to repay.
Sri Lanka, Pakistan full routs
Her husband, Ludes Nixon, was hit and lost his proper leg during the attack. After a year, they were able to transfer back to their village with their two youngsters.
The cash they are able to send residence is usually spent by the point they return. Further, the societal picture of migrant female employees is low because of stories of misconduct by some women (0.7% cited being pregnant as their cause for returning). Other disadvantages embody a discount in their will to battle for emancipation and the stress of being away from their families for therefore long (the everyday contract is for 2 years). Despite these spectacular achievements in girls’ education and ladies’s health, Sri Lanka doesn’t carry out well in the global gender gap index, rating 79th out of 142 nations in 2014. This low ranking comes from its poor efficiency in the dimensions of economic participation and political empowerment.
Population, feminine (% of whole) in Sri Lanka was reported at 51.ninety seven % in 2018, in accordance with the World Bank assortment of growth indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.
But it does even better on gender with a rank of seventy four for its Gender Inequality Index (GII). As time passes, many in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry are wanting forward to the tourists returning. “I couldn’t say no to my parents,” says Nilani as we talk at the Rosie May Foundation’s Sri Lanka workplace. A shut-knit household structure and the socio-cultural norms in Sri Lanka expect daughters to be obedient to their parents—even when it comes to their alternative of husband. Tourism in Sri Lanka took an enormous dip after the Easter Sunday bombings, but that hasn’t stopped these single mothers looking to the long run.
III. SRI LANKA’S SOCIAL DIVERSITY
“On top of that, I don’t seem like a stereotypical Sri Lankan woman. I’m not significantly feminine, I don’t put on makeup or jewelry, and I even have short, spiky hair.” A naturally non-public person, Jayanthi can also be undeniably feisty and eloquently exuberant. She brushes off such criticisms with a withering “I pricked your ego—sorry, dude, simply cope with it!
Southern Province, Sri Lanka – Lochana is 10 years old. Every morning, he will get up and lights an incense stick, which he places in a 3-wheeled auto-rickshaw parked outside the family home in Sri Lanka’s coastal Southern Province. When Rajapaksa’s brother Mahinda was president, from 2005 to 2015, Beijing grew to become Sri Lanka’s largest lender. Infrastructure tasks constructed and financed by China began popping up throughout Sri Lanka, significantly within the Rajapaksas’ residence district of Hambantota, in the nation’s south. But when the Sri Lankan authorities was unable to repay debts to a Chinese state operator, it was pressured in 2017 at hand over control to Beijing of an enormous port in Hambantota, on a 99-yr lease.

From Hixie, some info on the case against Jon Johansen, the kid who caused the DVD encryption debacle to make the international news:
It’s been reported all over the place, of course, but this week Oslo has seen the opening of the trial of Jon Lech Johansen, who, as far as I can tell, is accused of trying to watch a DVD that he had bought.
Yeah, we can’t have that. Whatever next. Someone who thinks it’s ok to buy a book and then read it?

Pro golfer and Puma brand ambassador Rickie Fowler has made no secret of the fact that he’s a huge Arnold Palmer fan.
At this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Fla., Fowler plans to show just how much he reveres the late golf legend, who passed away in 2016. The 29-year-old, currently ranked seventh on the PGA Tour, has teamed up with Puma Golf to design a pair of custom high-top cleats that he will wear during competition at Bay Hill. A second, identical pair — freshly autographed by Fowler — will be up for grabs for one lucky fan through a special sweepstakes to benefit Arnie’s Army, Palmer’s charitable foundation.
The cleats are decorated with a colorful “dancing umbrella” print — a Palmer signature — on the vamp. The left heel sports the message “Long Live AP,” and the right heel reads “The Legend Lives On.” The underside of the shoe’s Velcro strap features Palmer’s birthdate followed by an infinity sign (symbolizing Palmer’s immortality), while the sock liner is inscribed with his PGA Tour victories. And in a fun touch, a bright pink lining on the collar pays tribute to Palmer’s famous pink shirts.

A sneak peek at MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0
With mere weeks remaining until green magazine and MINI present MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0 in collaboration with RMIT University, a newly-released video gives a glimpse of the work of architects and architecture students involved in the exhibition. Watch it here. MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0 will explore the architectural potential of laneways and offer unique takes on communal living, adaptive reuse and sustainable mobility in Australian cities and suburbs.
Both architects and students have seized the opportunity to expand upon the brief to design an independent dwelling on a piece of land carved from a suburban Melbourne block. In the video, RMIT architecture students reveal their design for a shared “forest” between neighbouring properties.
Architects’ scale models will be displayed along with RMIT students’ larger model that will take a look at the broader picture of laneways and their potential – fittingly, in a Melbourne CBD laneway venue open to the public.
green magazine is also releasing MINI Portraits audio tours in the lead-up to the exhibition via social media and online. These episodes join participating architects on a brief tour of a Melbourne laneway that’s special to them. Watch MINI Portraits online here.
green magazine editor, Tamsin O’Neill says: “Feedback from both architects and RMIT students is revealing a diversity of ideas for the site and the surrounding landscape. We are looking forward to seeing how each has responded to the brief and to the treatment of each model.”
MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0
13 – 17 November, 2019
Rapha Melbourne, 32 Guildford Lane
About MINI Living
MINI Living started in 2016 and is dedicated to developing novel residential concepts for urban conurbations worldwide. Developments in big cities such as space shortage and price increases are taken into account, as well as the desire for flexibility, local identity and communal interaction. In order to address these diverse aspects, the project takes the “creative use of space” principle as developed for the classic Mini in the field of automotive design and applies it to the residential context.

Beware of Ransomware
All the tire dealer wanted to do was upgrade his point-of-sale software. He chose an in-house server-based system, and made sure his employees received the proper training.
After a “crazy busy” first few days, the training became second nature, some of the bugs worked themselves out, and the new system, he said, “normed down.”
Less than two weeks later, his system was hacked and held for ransom. He was asked to pay up or he would lose all his POS information.
“It’s nothing you want to re-live,” said the dealer when contacted by Modern Tire Dealer. “It’s nothing you want to explain. You think you’re smart enough to run your business.”
The cost of ransomware to U.S. businesses is hard to quantify. In 2016, businesses paid out an estimated $1 billion, compared to $24 million the previous year, based on FBI data. However, those numbers only take into account known victims.
Losses due to downtime also are not included. As of May 2016, the FBI estimated ransomware had cost U.S. small businesses more than $75 million in downtime alone in less than a year and a half.
In a 2016 report sponsored by the Herjavec Group, “Hackerpocalypse: A Cybercrime Revelation,” Cybersecurity Ventures estimated the annual cost of global cybercrime will reach $6 trillion a year by 2021. Ransomware is expected to make up an increasingly larger percentage of that total over the next five years.
What is ransomware?
According to the FBI, ransomware “is a form of malware that targets your critical data and systems for the purpose of extortion.” It is frequently delivered through “spearphishing” emails.
“After the user has been locked out of the data or system, the cyber actor demands a ransom payment. After receiving payment, the cyber actor will purportedly provide an avenue to the victim to regain access to the system or data.”
Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC, says ransomware attacks are typically carried out using a Trojan disguised as a legitimate file.
“They enter a system or network through, for example, a downloaded file or a vulnerability in a network service. The program then runs a payload, which locks the system in some fashion, or claims to lock the system but does not (e.g., a scareware program). Payloads may display a fake warning purportedly by an entity such as a law enforcement agency, falsely claiming that the system has been used for illegal activities, and contains content such as pornography and ‘pirated’ media.
“Payment is virtually always the goal,” he says, “The victim is coerced into paying for the ransomware to be removed — which may or may not actually occur — either by supplying a program that can decrypt the files, or by sending an unlock code that undoes the payload’s changes. Payment can be as little as $10 or even $1,000, and many victims quickly pay it to get their system back. The attacker can infect thousands of systems and collect millions of dollars in ransom.”
When ransomware first hit the scene, computers predominately became infected with it when users opened email attachments that contained the malware, says Croswell.
“But more recently, we’re seeing an increasing number of incidents involving so-called ‘drive-by’ ransomware, where users can infect their computers simply by clicking on a compromised website, often lured there by a deceptive email or pop-up window.
“Another new trend involves the ransom payment method. While some of the earlier ransomware scams involved having victims pay ‘ransom’ with pre-paid cards, victims are now increasingly asked to pay with Bitcoin, a decentralized virtual currency network that attracts criminals because of the anonymity the system offers.”
To pay or not to pay
It was a day he will never forget. “I came into the store and none of the computers were able to sign on to the server,” said the tire dealer. “So I went back to the server and logged in. There was a message on the screen that said my server had been encrypted, and to get it unlocked I needed to write to an obscure email address for more info.
“I immediately called anyone I knew in IT who would take my phone call, including my regular IT guy, who was on vacation. All of the feedback was not good. It was ‘pay what they ask for’ or ‘pull the server off-line and refresh it as new.’
“I decided on the latter. I wouldn’t pay.”
The dealer was lucky. He had only been using the new system for a short time, so he didn’t lose much information. “It was pretty mundane stuff anyway,” he said. “The data I collected wasn’t harmful. It was not like collecting social security numbers or blood types or financial information.”
What he did not do was contact law enforcement. The FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the National Security Agency, among others, consider this a mistake.
“We strongly encourage you to contact a local field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or U.S. Secret Service immediately upon discovery to report a ransomware event and request assistance,” says the U.S. government in an interagency technical guidance document, “How to Protect Your Networks from Ransomware” (https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ccips/file/872771/download).
“Law enforcement may be able to use legal authorities and tools that are unavailable to most organizations. Law enforcement can enlist the assistance of international law enforcement partners to locate the stolen or encrypted data or identify the perpetrator. These tools and relationships can greatly increase the odds of successfully apprehending the criminal, thereby preventing future losses.”
There are serious risks to consider before paying the ransom, according to the document.
- Paying the ransom does not guarantee access to your data once the ransom is paid.
- Paying the ransom opens the door to future attacks because the attackers know you will pay.
- After paying the ransom, some victims have been asked to pay even more to get the encryption keys. (Surprisingly, the dealer said he was told by a number of IT people there is some honor among cyber thieves.)
- Paying ransom supports and encourages this illegal activity.
The U.S. government does not encourage paying the ransom, but doesn’t prohibit it, either. “Whether to pay a ransom is a serious decision requiring the evaluation of all options to protect shareholders, employees and customers.”
“As with other forms of malware, security software might not detect a ransomware payload, or, especially in the case of encrypting payloads, only after encryption is under way or complete, particularly if a new version unknown to the protective software is distributed,” says Croswell. “New categories of security software, specifically deception technology, can detect ransomware. Deception technology can detect ransomware and notify cyber security teams, which can then shut down the attack and return the organization to normal operations.”
Using software or other security policies to block known payloads from launching will help to prevent infection, but will not protect against all attacks, he says. “There are several tools intended specifically to decrypt files locked by ransomware, although successful recovery may not be possible.
To help prevent being hacked and held for ransom, Croswell suggests the following eight preventive measures:
- Make sure you have updated antivirus software on your computer.
- Enable automated patches for your operating system and web browser.
- Have strong passwords, and don’t use the same passwords for everything.
- Use a pop-up blocker.
- Only download software — especially free software — from sites you know and trust (malware can also come in downloadable games, file-sharing programs, and customized toolbars).
- Don’t open attachments in unsolicited emails, even if they come from people in your contact list, and never click on a URL contained in an unsolicited email, even if you think it looks safe. Instead, close out the email and go to the organization’s website directly.
- Use the same precautions on your mobile phone as you would on your computer when using the internet.
- Conduct regular system back-ups, and store the backed-up data offline.
The Department of Justice has one more step to limit a ransomware infection: “No users should be assigned administrative access unless absolutely needed, and those with a need for administrator accounts should only use them when necessary.”
The attack was a wake-up call for the dealer, who requested anonymity in case the previous hacker decided to accept the “challenge” of his new system.
“I can tell you what I did wrong,” he says. “I did not go through a thorough process to put system controls in place that would have helped prevent this from happening. I needed an action plan in place to know what to do if it happened.”
“Also, by using and in-house server, it was easier to ‘open up the doors’ for hackers to come in. When we installed it, the ports got left open on the router.
“We don’t have a server in-house anymore. We’re using one in the cloud.” And he backs up the data regularly.
“It was a horrible experience,” he said. “Could it have been avoided? I think so. But hindsight is 20-20. If hackers really want to get in, they will, but I’m not going to help them.” ■
From Russia without love: Ransomware is a global phenomenon
“While initially popular in Russia, the use of ransomware scams has grown internationally,” says Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC and a frequent contributor to Modern Tire Dealer. “In June 2013, security software vendor McAfee released data showing that it had collected over 250,000 unique samples of ransomware in the first quarter of 2013, more than double the number it had obtained in the first quarter of 2012.
“Wide-ranging attacks involving encryption-based ransomware began to increase through Trojans such as CryptoLocker, which had procured an estimated $3 million before it was taken down by authorities, and CryptoWall, which was estimated by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to have accrued over $18 million by June 2015.”
Can the cloud protect you? Not completely, says WECnology CEO
Discount Tire, the largest independent tire dealer chain in North America, recently announced a multi-year, multi-million dollar cloud-based service agreement with OneView Commerce plc.
“We found that the overall savings in time and cost make cloud-based delivery of a digital store platform the most efficient and economical arrangement for achieving the operational return and improved customer experience that is at the heart of our strategy,” said Tom Williams, senior vice president for Reinalt-Thomas Corp., which does business under the trade name Discount Tire in most of the U.S., America’s Tire in parts of California, and as Discount Tire Direct online.
But does a cloud-based system protect the company against ransomware? Not completely, says Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC.
“Having a cloud solution doesn’t eliminate ransomware from happening,” he says. “But when you host your application with a trusted secure company, they have the highest level of protection software which can help prevent hacks from getting in.
“But you still have computers at the desks of employees and counters, and if someone there gets a ransomware attack, it could infect the cloud instead of their in-house network.”

A police report can be one of the most essential components of your personal injury case following an auto accident. It is very important that you call the police in any auto accident because you may need this documentation later, when you're trying to recover damages from the person responsible for your injuries.
Read on to learn exactly how to get a police report after an auto accident, and how to use it to get the money you deserve:
How to Obtain the Police Report
You should obtain a copy of the police report as soon as possible following the accident. The police precinct (or other law enforcement location) that created the report will typically make it available to you once it has been reviewed by the superior officers at that location. This may take a few days, so you should call and ask when you can pick a copy of the report up. You may be able to request that the report is mailed to you or your attorney directly, as well.
What a Police Report Reveals
The police report from an auto accident will typically be full of valuable information, including:
- The date and time of the accident
- The specific location of the accident
- The weather conditions at the time of the accident
- A list of any legal citations or violations that were issued to either driver involved in the accident
- The insurance information for both drivers involved in the accident
- A notation of any admission of fault made by either driver at the scene of the accident, if any
- Observations made by police officers regarding the cause or the responsibility for the accident, if any
- A list of accident witnesses, if any
How Your Lawyer Can Use The Police Report
Although a police report is typically not allowed as evidence in a civil court proceeding, a personal injury lawyer can use the police report as a valuable negotiation tool. This is significant because 95 to 96 percent of all personal injury lawsuits are resolved in a settlement that is negotiated before the civil court date occurs.
Your lawyer can cite any of the information in the police report during negotiations to prove that the other party is responsible for your injuries. This may include:
- Proving that the other driver was impaired, if they were issued a citation for impairment of any type
- Proving that the other driver admitted guilt at the scene of the accident, if this was documented in the report
- Contacting the witnesses listed on the police report and obtaining statements regarding the fault of the other driver from them
If you have a personal injury case due to an auto accident, don't underestimate the importance of the police report. As you can see, your lawyer can use their expert negotiation skills to turn that report into compensation for you. To learn more, contact a professional like Richard M Altman.

Just upgraded from 2.5.5 to 2.7 Not a smooth upgrade as it whitescreened - when I turned errors on it gave me this:
Fatal error: Class PT_Fieldtype contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (EE_Fieldtype::display_field) in /home/foobar/public_html/foobar/system/expressionengine/third_party/pt_field_pack/pt_fieldtype.php on line 148
Yes it was still running the old field pack but by then I'd not upgraded any third party modules yet.
I'm still running PHP 5.2.15 incase that matters here. Clues?
edit: I've just rolled back to 2.5.5 (and 2.7 failed again) but I can report that my P&T fieldtypes are 1.0.3

BBT BIO Refreshment Chips Product Overview
BBT BIO Refreshment Chips contain advance Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial technology from BBT Biotech, we provide the last anti-microbial functions which directly extracts from natural plants. Through internal special treatment and static external treatment, we can change the plant essential oils into micro gas and future convert micro gas into gas molecules, through high-pressure equipment, to achieve volatile status.
They use Nanotechnology to achieve perfect colour, smell and taste, suitable for all industries. In an initial stage of the close system, the products will distribute a large number of Alkyl Carbon and Pythoncidere molecular structure, can rapidly penetrate the microbial cell membrane, destroy the DNA and break down the proteins, isolated N, P, K, so the bacteria in the packaging can be eliminated.
Their products are able to use in daily foods and provide natural and environmentally friendly usage.
Nanotechnology (or “nanotech“) is a manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.
This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale, and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter which occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form “nanotechnologies” as well as “nanoscale technologies” to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size.
