50 Healthy Snacks Your Kid Will Thank You For
You know that look…the hungry one. Or possibly even the temper tantrum. You’re pressed for time so you swing through the drive-thru to appease the little monsters in the back seat. Relief.
We’ve all had those times, and it’s okay. Sometimes the priority is to simply feed your child. Many fast food restaurants offer options like apple slices now, which are a great option. With a little planning (and help from this article) you can have healthy snacks for your kids ready to go in no time. And trust me, the little ones will thank you.
As a Registered Dietitian, I’ve worked with hundreds of children in schools and summer camps, teaching them about the importance of healthy eating. It’s amazing to see that children really are open to trying new, healthy foods if it’s introduced to them in a positive way. Did you know that kids might need to be exposed to a new food 8-15 times before trying or accepting it (1)? So don’t get frazzled if Junior won’t try the broccoli. It may only be a matter of time.
A Healthy Foundation
Nutrition is especially important in the early years. It is key in supporting both physical and cognitive development. Healthy eating and physical activity are even important in the classroom where they help facilitate learning and promote academic success (2). These two healthy behaviors also help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases later in life (2).
Cooking with Kids
Children naturally follow what they see adults doing. When they see you trying new, healthy foods, they will be much more likely to do so. Children react negatively when forced to eat certain things, but studies show that role modeling healthy behaviors has a positive effect (3). Children are more likely to eat healthy foods and are more open to trying new foods when their parents role model healthy behaviors. The bottom line is that your children learn from watching you. If you eat healthy foods, they will too!
Snack time at home is the perfect time to try new, healthy foods together. It’s even better if you can get the kids involved. Children are more likely to eat a new food if they helped to prepare it. You can even give young children simple jobs like washing fruits and vegetables, spreading peanut butter on bread, or tearing lettuce for salad.
If you’re ready to start introducing healthier foods, The Two-Bite Club is a great children’s book where the main character is squeamish about trying new, healthy foods. Her older brother persuades her to take just two bites. She finds that she actually does like many of the foods! I’ve personally used this book with children and it is nothing short of amazing to see how receptive they are to trying new things after reading it. You can download the PDF for free from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website.
How to Choose Healthy Snacks for Your Kids
When selecting snacks make sure to include different food groups from MyPlate in each snack:
- USDA’s MyPlate recommends 1-1 ½ cup each of fruits and vegetables per day for children ages 4-8 years old.
- They should also eat produce high in vitamins A and C at least 3 times per week (4).
- When choosing foods from the dairy group, reduced fat products are recommended for children ages 2 and up.
- Lastly, at least half of your grains should be whole.
You’ll notice that I recommend using reduced fat dairy products and using whole grains instead of refined grains in several recipes. This is an easy way to make a recipe healthier!
Our Healthy Snacks for Kids List is divided into categories so that it’s easy to choose based on whether you need a snack for lunch, at home, or on-the-go. Let the healthy snacking begin!

People all over the world are reporting they are hearing strange sounds and recording them on video. A compilation of these separate incidents has been uploaded to YouTube, and one fact is chillingly clear.
Whatever these unearthly noises are, they all sound similar, and are, so far, unexplained.
It's easy to say that these strange sounds, sometimes extremely loud, and other times seemingly far off, are the product of a hoax.
But their similarity to each other, and the fact they have been recorded in so many diverse areas of the world, leads one to believe that such a hoax is impossible to coordinate.
In the past, supernatural events, such as UFO sightings, have been largely visual in nature and reported as such. It's only in the last few weeks that this phenomenon of strange sounds has begun to be reported and discussed.
Commenters on the video, numbering in the thousands, are in three basic camps; those who scoff and explain it away as a hoax; those who attribute the weird noises to Hollywood movie soundtracks; and those who claim to have heard the noises themselves.
It is this latter group which is claiming that the strange sounds are similar to each other and therefore not a natural occurrence.
Here's the video:
What do you think? How can this new, spooky phenomenon be explained?

TWISTER® Low-Speed Aerator
Long-lasting performance, and the highest oxygen-transfer rates of any mechanical aeration system on the market
The TWISTER® low-speed aerator is designed for long-term, continuous operation. Twister optimizes the spray of water droplets, resulting in some of the highest oxygen-transfer rates of any mechanical aeration system. And it offers long-lasting performance.
The Twister low-speed aerator's high oxygen transfer makes it ideal for a wide range of high-oxygen-demand biological treatment applications, from activated sludge to oxidation ditches and extended aeration operations, in municipal, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and other industries.
The Twister low-speed aerator, available with coated-frame and nonmetallic float options, can be configured as a floating unit using a three-pod, stainless-steel float and support infrastructure, or as a fixed unit using an adjustable mounting plate for optimal operational performance.
With thousands of installations around the world, Fluence has designed the Twister low-speed aerator to be a reliable, well-tested technology for your wastewater treatment needs.
How the Twister Aerator Works
All Twister low-speed aerators consist of a motor mounted to a gear reducer and a specially designed rotor attached to the bottom of an extended shaft. When activated, the Twister turns at a slow speed (typically 40 to 100 rpm) while the rotor fins pump large amounts of water into the air in a fine spray. These very small droplets create a 360-degree circular pattern.
Twister creates a high transfer of oxygen with its large surface-to-volume water droplet ratio and long exposure to air after spraying. Pumping up oxygen-deficient water from the bottom of a basin and exposing it to the air above the water's surface provides faster mass transfer from ambient air to the water droplet.
The Twister low-speed aerator's deep pumping action generates effective localized mixing to optimize many wastewater treatment processes, including those that require fast and efficient oxygen transfer, for instance, the pulp and paper, food processing, and other industries.
Twister Aerator Features
Designed for long-term, continuous operation, the Twister aerator uses an innovative composite material in the construction of its hydrodynamically efficient rotor. Fluence has molded the rotor to optimize the spray of water droplets, resulting in some of the highest oxygen-transfer rates of any mechanical aeration system.
Using the latest in power transmission technology, the Twister aerator converts the least amount of energy into the maximum amount of rotor torque for excellent aeration and deep basin mixing. Models are available from 2 to 150 horsepower (1.5 to 112 kW) at 50 or 60 Hz.
The Twister aerator's features include:
- Flange coupling for high-torque, lifetime performance
- Standard motor for easy availability and replacement
- Float- or fixed-mount units to meet process requirements
- Minimum 2.0 gearbox safety factor to assure long life
The Twister has been used in:
- Wastewater treatment
- Supplemental aeration
- Leachate treatment
- Sequencing batch reactors
- Municipal wastewater treatment
- Pulp and paper mills
- Chemical processing
- Wine and beverage manufacture
- Agriculture waste
- Oxidation ditches

Do your taste buds get all tingly by the prospect of a vegan, nearly sugar-free superfood kind of treat? No? It can be tricky to find a cookie that truly tastes delicious and but doesn’t trigger any guilt.
We’ve all heard it loud and clear: sugar is the devil’s BFF and we should avoid it like toxic waste.
As someone who loves her treats, especially chocolate, this poses a problem.
Along comes Raw Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Superfood Bars. They’re a revelation!
I was turned on to this recipe at an anti-aging workshop given by my friend and naturopathic doctor, Emily Passic, who got it from a vegan blog she recommends called Love and Lemons.
Sumptuous and rich, these cookies are full of good-for-you organic ingredients, like peanut butter, coconut oil, almond flour, cacao powder, walnuts, with Medjool dates and a bit of maple syrup for sweetness. They hit my happy spot in a big way. And they’re so satisfying that one really is enough (but no judgment if you eat more).
The smooth rich peanut butter base and cacao layer are set off with just a touch of flaky sea salt to make this most delicious bite.
What elevates them to superfood status are the Cacao and Maca powders. Cacao is the purest form of chocolate, and it’s packed with antioxidants, fiber, and magnesium (great news, right?)).
Maca is powder from the Peruvian maca root and has a malty, vanilla-y, butterscotch-y flavor that brings an extra dose of deliciousness to the dough layer. Maca is believed to naturally support the body’s ability to adapt to stress and help improve energy, vitality, and stamina.
If you’re feeling a bit more indulgent, you can add chocolate chips (the devil be damned). Or if you prefer less sweet, you can leave out the maple syrup. (I didn’t miss it, neither did my taste test group).
I’ve made them with almond butter & chopped almonds because I like the taste and all those almonds are like a triple whammy of protein. Winning!
Also, for those who, like me, have inflammation issues, did you know peanuts are not really a nut? They’re legumes, which have been identified as an inflammatory cautionary food.
Extra bonus: these cookies are super easy to whip up - no baking required.
Perfect timing for a holiday hostess gift or treats for friends and family. You can tout all the health benefits or skip all that and just say you made the treats especially for them with love.

It is true that New Hampshire Lottery is the oldest legal lottery in the history of United States. Larry Pickett of Keene was the man behind the idea of introducing the New Hampshire Lottery into the States. Larry Pickett was a State representative who continuously made an effort from the year 1953-1963 to propose a Sweepstakes bill. Pickett saw sweepstakes as a feasible and self-chosen way to raise funds for the purpose of education. It was finally in the year 1963 that Pickett succeeded in getting the bill passed by John King – the Governor at that time. After winning the majority of the vote in favor of starting the lottery through a special ballot, the New Hampshire Lottery actually came into existence. It was on March 12, 1964, that the first lottery tickets were sold as an attempt to use the profits for New Hampshire schools.
THE JOURNEY OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LOTTERY: FROM THEN TO NOW –
Nh lottery has gone through many changes since its inception. Earlier the lottery only offered one type of ticket that cost $3 for a number of scratch and lotto games. As far as the sales are concerned, there has been a dramatic rise in them too. From $5.7 million sales in the year 1964, the sales went up to $307 million in the year 2016. Despite the changes in lottery tickets and sales, one thing that has remained unchanged in the NH lottery is the benefit that it has done for the state. All the funds collected through the New Hampshire lottery have been going to serve the purpose of public education. Moreover, since all these years, NH lottery has successfully managed to entertain all its players through its amazing games like NH Powerball and NH Megabucks that have made people winners.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE CLAIMING PRIZE MONEY –
In order to check New Hampshire winning lottery numbers, you just need to check in to a lottery retailer, news, radio, newspaper, or the winning numbers hotline.

Disposable disinfectant wipes, baby wipes, and even so‑called “flushable” wipes can cause serious problems for the sewer system and for your pipes because the wipes do not break down easily, or at all, once they are flushed. Paper products other than toilet paper (such as paper towels) also do not break down once in the sewer line. No matter what the label says, do not flush them, trash them instead.
When wipes and other materials interact with food grease or invasive roots in the sewer, they bind together, causing blockages and creating the potential for overflows. Sewer backups can be both messy and costly to clean up.

Also a Hen Can Obtain Lasik Surgical procedureIf you make the effort to check out any of the message boards or chatroom on the web concerning Lasik surgical treatment, you will certainly wonder just how anybody could get the guts to schedule a Lasik procedure, as well as why on earth they would want it. The numerous Lasik clinics sound anywhere from impersonal to something just like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, and also the Lasik treatment itself sounds, well, surreal. It appears like the only individuals that would certainly obtain Lasik are those with such negative vision that they can not rise without their glasses on.
Well, allow me give you my story of how I selected Lasik. Of all, my vision is not great, yet not terrible either. I can actually go to movies and see well sufficient to take pleasure in the movie without glasses, yet I need glasses to drive in order to read the road signs far sufficient away to act on the information. So for me, Lasik was not required, yet I figured would certainly streamline my life. I am outdoors really regularly, backpacking, climbing hillsides, as well as mountain cycling. Glasses do not last long with me, and I am regularly grinding into the dust which is not the most effective scenario for contact lenses. For these factors, Lasik looked very enticing.
The paragraph over might make you believe I am a "macho man" (hope so, assume so!), so why on earth would certainly I hesitate of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, technically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel but rather a "microkeratome blade", but it is still a sharp item approaching my eye as part of the Lasik treatment. Nowadays Lasik physicians can get a laser to reduce the flap in the eye, which is greater than a little far better than a sharp blade. Anyway, I had as well several spills in my life to assume any kind of sharp object nearing my eye was a good concept, even under the skilled hands of a Lasik doctor.
After talking with three (yes, 3!) independent Lasik medical professionals, they each ensured me that a 28 year old guy in virtually best health and wellness (OK, I exaggerate a little bit) with modest nearsightedness was among the best candidates for an effective Lasik treatment. I made a decision to schedule my Lasik treatment with the one that had the most effective performance history, and together took one of the most time to describe whatever about Lasik to me.
The Lasik surgical treatment was not uncomfortable, though I accepted virtually whatever they provided to offer me comfort, consisting check my reference of a sedative as well as a teddy bear. (I also went back to take a photo of me and the Lasik soothing teddy bear.) The only strange thing I keep in mind about the Lasik procedure itself was a scent, something vaguely like hair burning. I mean that was my eye. I am kind of glad they didn't inform me to expect that before the Lasik treatment, I am uncertain I would have entered.
After a few years, I think I was a virtually ideal Lasik client, as my eyes now have 20/20 vision and also have actually continued to be secure Continued long after the Lasik operation. I state that if you are a great candidate for a Lasik vision modification treatment, get hold of that teddy bear and also take place in.
If you take the time to read any of the message boards or chat areas on the Internet concerning Lasik surgery, you will certainly ask yourself just how any person can get the courage to arrange a Lasik procedure, as well as why on earth they would certainly desire it. The different Lasik clinics sound anywhere from impersonal to something similar to Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, as well as the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, unique. OK, technically Lasik does NOT utilize a scalpel but rather a "microkeratome blade", yet it is useful link still a sharp item approaching my eye as part of the Lasik treatment. I determined to schedule my Lasik treatment with the one that had the finest track record, as well as coincidentally took the most time to clarify every little thing about Lasik to me.

House Approves Fiscal Year 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill
Legislation will continue and strengthen America’s homeland security efforts while trimming excess spending
Jun 7, 2012 -
The House today approved the fiscal year 2013 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations bill by a vote of 234-182. The legislation strengthens America’s homeland security efforts while at the same time reducing government spending. The bill provides $39.1 billion in discretionary funding for DHS, a decrease of $484 million below last year’s level and a decrease of $393 million below the President’s request.
“This legislation is proof that we can do more with less – it represents a reduction in spending coupled with reforms to encourage efficiency and sustainability that will help get us on a stronger fiscal path. But we must remember that our freedom isn’t free, and we cannot skimp on our national security if we want to stay vigilant and – most importantly – safe. This bill keeps these priorities in mind, and puts security first, encourages strong fiscal discipline, mandates robust oversight, and boosts programs that support American jobs, innovation, and preparedness,” House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers said.
“This bill passed today addresses our Nation’s two most urgent needs – security and fiscal discipline,” said Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Robert Aderholt. “H.R. 5855 strengthens our Nation’s homeland security efforts by fully supporting frontline operations, immigration enforcement, and disaster relief, and by providing key investments in cybersecurity, preparedness grants, and research programs that promote job growth and innovation. The passage of this bill also marks another important step in getting the federal government’s fiscal house in order by reducing discretionary spending by $484 million below the current fiscal year and $394 million below the President's request. I hope my colleagues in the Senate will take swift action by passing their version of the bill so that we can work through the conference committee process and enact this bill into law," Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Robert Aderholt said.

Everybody is talking about the multicolor good-stuff decks in Modern Horizons 2 Draft. That’s not really surprising, as I think most of the Magic community prefers to durdle instead of attack. And those multicolor decks are quite strong; I’ve played them many times myself.
However, the aggro decks are extremely fast in this format. Selesnya and Boros intersect at the counters theme because Boros is a modular deck and Selesnya is a proliferate deck. This means that it’s possible to start a draft with any of the white cards that synergize with +1/+1 counters, and navigate towards a very fast deck. The Rakdos madness deck hits extremely hard with particular combinations of commons that go pretty late, namely Viashino Lashclaw and Skophos Reaver.
And there’s even more nuance and texture to these aggressive decks. While the Azorius Affinity archetype is often slower, fast versions of the deck can exist. I have cast enough artifact creatures to double-spell with Sojourner’s Companion on Turn 4 in both Boros and Azorius, and that can overwhelm some opponents.
It’s not that I think this format is crazy fast and you should only draft aggro decks. I like the slow decks. I just don’t think enough people are respecting the aggressive decks. This also means a lot of the slow decks I play against aren’t prepared for my speed. They spend time landcycling, and by the time they’re set up, the game is over. On Sunday I attacked on Turn 4 with three four-power creatures, all of which are common. It’s time to take a step back and start re-evaluating cards to respect aggressive decks.
Pack 1, Pick 6
The Picks So Far:
This is looking like a Rakdos Madness draft, but it’s still possible to take this another direction. Izzet Delirium would much prefer this Sojourner’s Companion, and so would Boros Modular/Affinity. It’s also probably just the best card in this pack. However, I think the other options to stay on the Madness path are a better idea.
Cabal Initiate is overrated. It’s a fine enabler for madness, but it’s not really a premium discard outlet because the body and effect aren’t all that relevant. It’s still a good card that I’m happy to have when I care about discard, but I don’t take it highly. I would rather take madness cards over it, like this Skophos Reaver.
This begs the question, is Necromancer’s Familiar a good enough card to take over Skophos Reaver? I don’t think so. Familiar is flashy, as it has lots of semi-relevant text. It’s a flier, can have lifelink, can be indestructible, and is a good discard outlet. However, it’s also four mana, and Rakdos Madness gets extremely clogged at the four-drop slot. Most creatures with Madness are four mana, and there’s enough interaction that I don’t expect my two-drop discard outlet like Viashino Lashclaw or Cabal Initiate to live.
I don’t want to draft a deck that falls on its face without a discard outlet, and the more four-drops you draft, the more likely that’s the case. In fact, Skophos Reaver as a good-rate three-drop to play without madness fills that exact role. I am happy to cast this on Turn 3 if my Lashclaw is killed, and if it’s not, I get to attack for four on Turn 3. That’s a win-win. Also, Reaver has the nice bonus of keeping doors open to a nonblack red deck. While I don’t like Reaver in those decks, it can still play a beatdown role if that’s what I need. So, while I think most people would take Familiar, I think this is a pretty clear Skophos Reaver.
Pack 1, Pick 8
The Picks So Far:
Mount Velus Manticore is a cool card that initially looks like it’s a madness enabler, but it’s actually quite bad in most madness decks because the four-drop slot is so clunky, and most cards for that deck are only a single card type. Manticore is actually meant for Izzet Delirium, as it’s two different card types, gets better with other cards that are two different card types, and discards cards to get Delirium.
Once you adjust your evaluation of Manticore in that manner, I think both the other options are better picks. Vermin Gorger is the correct pick if you’re committing to Rakdos Madness because it’s a solid aggressive two-drop. Myr Scrapling is the better hedge to a different archetype because Arcbound Shikari and Arcbound Whelp push in that direction, so I’m more likely to pivot to Boros than Izzet.
I took Myr Scrapling because I just don’t think Gorger or Manticore make my good Madness decks. I think it’s higher-value to open the door to pivot than it is to take a mediocre filler card for the deck I’m currently drafting.
Pack 2, Pick 9
The Picks So Far:
Blazing Rootwalla is an uncommon madness card, and it’s a pretty cool one. Madness for no mana can be quite a surprise. You’re tapped out and your opponent thinks they will win the race, but then an extra three-power attacker on their end step changes the race in your favor. It also really helps cards like Faithless Salvaging have good moments to cast, because a big problem with that card is that spending two mana to discard can be awkward with a lot of the madness cards. If I have multiple copies of Salvaging, I really try to prioritize Rootwalla and Kitchen Imp higher than I usually do.
I wouldn’t fault anybody for taking Rootwalla, but I actually think Viashino Lashclaw is the correct pick. This card has been the main reason my opponents feel hopeless. Turn 4 casting a two-drop, and then activating Lashclaw to cast Skophos Reaver with haste is just so much damage out of nowhere. The games where I cast this card on Turn 2 are vastly different from the games where I don’t, so drafting multiples is a great way to succeed in this archetype. I ended up with four copies, and because of it, I cast it on Turn 2 almost every game. So I wasn’t particularly surprised when the deck below took home the trophy.

Ah yes, the classic fail. You've done it before, it caused you lots of frustration and now... you've done it again.
In my case it's the Raspberry Pi Zero v the Raspberry Pi Zero W. One was WiFI built in, the other doesn't.
I setup a new SD card, added the SSH file, the wpa file following my OWN instructions
And nothing. It wasn't appearing in the list of devices connected to my network. I thought my battery was low so connected the cable (after digging it out). I thought the network was slow so restarted that. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. I was contemplating plugging a screen in when the hubster asked the very obvious question: Is that a Pi Zero W?
Wasted a good hour on this. But you know, it happens. If you don't laugh and move along just cry... and move along.

Princess Diana was killed in the tunnel beneath the Place de l'Alma just after midnight on the morning of August 31, 1997. I arrived at the scene a few minutes after the crash and reported from the place and from the hospital until after dawn. "The Flame of Liberty" memorial was in place aready. It had been erected in 1989 with money raised by the International Herald Tribune to commemorate 100 years of publishing in Paris, but mourners and tourists quickly adopted it as a monument to the late princess. Elsewhere in the place, life goes on as normal.

A workshop within ParrotNet project
ParrotNet is a European network of scientists, practitioners and policy-makers dedicated to research on invasive parrots, their impacts and the challenges they present. A special focus of the project is the Ring-necked Parakeet (Psittacula krameri). The species originates from South Asia and currently it is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species in Europe, expanded to more than 100 cities on the continent since the 1970s. P. krameri was recorded for the first time in Bulgaria in 1996 and since then numerous individuals have been observed throughout the country. One breeding attempt was also recorded in the country. Profound knowledge on the invasive species is of crucial importance for setting adequate measures for managing their populations.

The European Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) has been formed as a biological species on the territory of Bulgaria, as revealed by a new phylogeographic study
An international team of researchers, with the participation of Dr. Yordan Koshev of the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, examined a large number of samples (915 individuals) from 52 localities across 11 countries. The phylogeographic study showed that the territory of Bulgaria is the centre of the ancestral area of this species. The remaining parts of its European geographical range has been formed as a result of several colonization events driven by glacial and interglacial periods. European Ground Squirrel populations from Bulgaria showed the highest genetic diversity as 5 out of 7 the known genetic lineages occur in this country. The results of this study provide the basis for conservation actions and legislative initiatives in the conservations of this globally threatened species.
More information about phylogeography of the European ground squirrel can be found in the article published in the international journal Molecular Ecology:

New data about the largest European water insect
A new article published in the open access journal Zookeys provides detailed information on karyotype, the chromosome behavior, and the male reproductive system of the largest European water insect Lethocerus patruelis (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae). Interesting insights into the life habits and the distribution of the species on the Balkans are also presented. During the last ten years, there are many new records of this species in Southern Bulgaria, providing evidence that the giant water bug is expanding its territory northwards. Such a wide and abundant distribution of the species in these regions would be a further sign of the recent changes of European bug fauna caused by climate change and an important clue for the effects of global warming.

National Action Plan for conservation of the Dalmatian Pelican
On 14.09.2012 the National Council of Biological Diversity approved the "National Action Plan for conservation of the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus) in Bulgaria for the period 2013-2022", elaborated by the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, BAS. Additionally, the action plans for the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) and the Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) (elaborated be the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds), were also accepted.
The aim of the National action plan for conservation of the Dalmatian Pelican is to preserve its population in Bulgaria during all periods of its life cycle, i.e. the breeding (with minimum of 100 breeding pairs in 2-3 nesting colonies), migration (between 40 and 530 passing individuals during autumn near Bourgas), wintering (minimum 450 overwintering individuals in the middle of January). The ideal goal of the plan will be a successful restoration of one of the former nesting colony on Persina Island (River Danube) which was existing at the end of 19 century and the restoration of the colonies at the former swamps Mandrensko and Straldgensko.

Refresh your master bedroom for summer with simple and easy changes like new bedding, fresh flowers and cheery art!
– – – – – – –
I am a big fan of changing up the decor in my home with each season. I love the refreshing feeling of updating colours and accessories to match the time of year. I always update our living room and porch space, but I’m also trying to make sure I update our master bedroom as well. For some reason master bedrooms get overlooked when it comes to decorating, but I’m trying to make sure that ours doesn’t. I don’t want my room to be the space where junk goes to hang out, I want it to be a fresh and relaxing space that I enjoy being in. So I really try to keep this room looking great, even at holiday time. The last couple of Christmas’s I even managed to decorate this room, but truth be told the evergreen wreaths stayed hung this year until the beginning of June! Ha! True story. Clearly it was time to bring this room into summer, and I couldn’t wait. I needed to have my bedroom space feel fresh again. And now it does…
In the spring I gave our office a refresh with some new art from Minted, and I wanted to do the same in our master bedroom. I really love all of their art pieces and just knew I’d find something perfect for our bedroom. I chose 3 prints: Soft Descension Art Print, You Make My Heart Bloom Art Print, and Day Dreams Art Print. The colours and frames are absolutely what I envisioned for this space.
I wanted bright and cheery prints, and that is what I got. Love love love love love.
Because the prints are beautifully busy, I tried to keep the rest of the decor simple and understated, so I bought a new white quilt, and 2 neutral lamps. I also added three Minted pillows: Tribal Arrows Pillow, Organic Dot Pillow and the Dalmation Pillow, which are a really nice addition to my bed. I think they work better in here, rather than my office which is originally where I had them.
Then I added some fresh flowers (I heart peonies!), because every space needs flowers! I also added a vintage cake stand to my dresser to hold all of my little trinkets like my watch, earrings and other jewelry. I have collected many beautiful cake stands, but most of the time they just sit in my storage drawer waiting for cake which doesn’t happen all that often, so I decided to put some on display. They’re a great way to display pretty things, or store small items.
I really love how everything turned out…it’s a simple makeover but it is exactly what I wanted. Less really is more. Simple changes like adding new art, or a new bed spread, some flowers or new pillows, can really make a big impact in a space.
Now every time I go in my room I feel happy. This space feels fresh and relaxing which is exactly how a bedroom should feel! Do you update your room for the season? You should because it sure feels nice! 🙂
Have an inspired day!
Thank you Minted for my new art pieces and pillows, I truly love them!

When Ernest Rutherford was told, while working on his family's farm in New Zealand, that he had won a scholarship to Cambridge University, his reaction was to stand straight and declare, "I've just dug my last potato."
That ambition served him well. When the professor was hired in 1898 to work in McGill's then brand-new Macdonald Physics Building, he set his sights on characterizing the recently described phenomenon of radioactivity. He soon came to believe that the strange force was the result of the disintegration of the atom - a revolutionary concept that Frederick Soddy, a demonstrator in McGill's Chemistry Department, called akin to "a new world."
Soddy was ready to explore that world, and together he and Rutherford would collaborate on experiments that would begin to reveal the structure of the atom. So cutting edge was Rutherford's work that he had to construct the devices he used to measure atomic activity. By 1903, he published "Radioactive Change" in a London journal, a paper that opened the field of atomic physics. Rutherford's conclusion that atoms could be transformed and that each atom potentially carried a tremendous amount of energy earned him the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908. Soddy would also win a Nobel Prize in 1921.
After leaving McGill, Rutherford would go on to other major breakthroughs, including splitting the atom in 1913, which he described as having "broken the machine and touched the ghost of matter."
Called "a second Newton" by no less an authority than Albert Einstein, on Rutherford's death the New York Times said "he was universally acknowledged as the leading explorer of the vast infinitely complex universe within the atom, a universe that he was first to penetrate."

Button Bit Sharpening
Hard rock drill bits have Tungsten carbide “buttons” that become dull and flat during the drilling process. These buttons can be refurbished to extend the service life of the drill bit.
To enable the correct grinding of the button, the surrounding steel body must first be removed. The traditional method is to grind the steel using an Angle Grinder. This method is labour intensive, creating health hazards ranging from muscle strains to respiratory problems not to mention the environmental issues from the grinding dust and noise.
The alternative technique for this is a system that utilises reverse electrolysis in a salt water solution to erode the steel, without affecting the Tungsten carbide. Drill bits are suspended above a copper cathode plate with enough salt solution to cover the area to be eroded. Low voltage current is then transmitted between the cathode and the bit body, thus eroding the steel.
An 89mm diameter drill bit can have approx. 1.5mm of steel removed in 15 minutes. The tank accommodates six drill bits of this size per cycle. Each cycle is controlled by an in-built timer, which allows other work to be completed during the erosion process.
To restore the Tungsten Carbide button back to “as new” condition, a Swedish made bit sharpening machine is used. This semi-auto machine utilises diamond impregnated grinding pins that have a concave shape that matches the style and size of the button. A recirculating coolant system suppresses any dust whilst cooling the carbide and grinding pin.
The whole process can be repeated 5-6 times for each drill bit, which equates to significant cost savings for our customers.

[Episcopal News Service – Washington, D.C.] Rain, snow, and temperatures that were barely above freezing did not deter a group of about 400 Episcopalians from taking to the streets of the nation’s capital March 25 to transform the traditional re-enactment of Jesus’ journey to Calvary and the tomb into a prayer procession meant to challenge what they called a culture of violence.
The modern-day version of the ancient Holy Week ritual of the Stations of the Cross began outside St. John’s Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, at the corner of 16th and H streets northwest, across from the White House. The moving liturgy went past the White House and concluded on the west steps of the U.S. Capitol some two and a half hours later. Bishops, priests and deacons in the procession wore cassocks or other clerical attire, and the worshippers were led by a wooden cross as they made their way past the White House and down a lane of Pennsylvania Avenue that had been blocked off from traffic.
“You walked for Christ at a time when most people would have just gone inside and found something else to do,” Connecticut Bishop Suffragan James Curry told the worshippers after they finished the Way of the Cross.
At a “media availability” event before the Way of the Cross began, Curry had said that “the place of the church in our society is the place of Jesus Christ who faced down violence itself and died because of it.”
“We know that this is a struggle that will take years and years, and our pledge is continue to carry that cross for our children and for our society,” he said.
While there was mention in the liturgy of the ready availability of guns and the grief caused by gunplay, the worshippers during their stops near memorials, government buildings and works of art primarily offered prayers for an end to a culture of violence and the social and economic conditions that spawn violence.
The Stations of the Cross is an ancient ritual that commemorates the ordeal of Jesus from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his crucifixion and burial. Worshippers metaphorically walk with Jesus, stopping to offer prayers inspired by events, some legendary, that occurred as Jesus carried his cross.
The specially written Stations of the Cross liturgy is here.
Curry, Connecticut Bishop Ian T. Douglas and Bishop Suffragan Laura J. Ahrens organized the service days after the killing of 28 students, teachers and others at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012. Among those who died was Benjamin Andrew Wheeler, 6, who was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown. The bishops worked in cooperation with Diocese of Washington Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, and a team from her diocese.
Other Episcopal bishops who participated in some or all of the event were Wayne Wright of Delaware, Nedi Rivera of Eastern Oregon, Mary Glasspool of Los Angeles, Larry Provenzano of Long Island, Gayle Harris of Massachusetts, Steven Miller of Milwaukee, Mark Beckwith of Newark, David Bailey of Navajoland, Rob Hirschfeld of New Hampshire, Gene Robinson (retired) of New Hampshire, W. Nicholas Knisely of Rhode Island, Dorsey Henderson of Upper South Carolina, Shannon Johnston of Virginia, Douglas Fisher of Western Massachusetts and Porter Taylor of Western North Carolina participated. The Rt. Rev. Dinis S. Sengulane, bishop of Lebombo, Mozambique, in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, who helped to end the civil war in his country and inspired the collection and conversion of weapons from that war for peaceful purposes, was also a participant.
Before the Stations of the Cross began, the bishops met at St. John’s to discuss pending legislation to reduce gun violence with Stephanie Valencia, principal deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Paul Monteiro, an associated director in that office.
Many of the bishops are part of Episcopalians Against Gun Violence, an ad hoc group of bishops, clergy and lay Episcopalians who are working, collectively and individually, to curb gun violence. The group has a Facebook presence and is on Twitter. The hashtag for the Stations of the Cross march was #DCWitness.
Shortly after the conclusion of the stations, most of the participants gathered in the Montpelier Room of the James Madison Memorial Building that is part of the Library of Congress for brief remarks from church and government leaders to support President Barack Obama’s call for gun reform and the legislative actions pending in Congress.
Bishops Curry and Douglas, and Sengulane of Mozambique, were among the speakers. Others included Connecticut Rep. John Larson, D.C. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton and the Rev. Brenda Griton-Mitchell, director of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships of the U.S. Department of Education.
Holmes Norton, who was baptized in the Episcopal Church, said, “We in the District of Columbia know the gun lobby more than most,” noting ongoing efforts to prevent the District from enacting tough gun measures.
However, she said, people all over the country are stepping forward to call for laws meant to reduce gun violence “and this time we will not step back.”
Griton-Mitchell, a lawyer and an ordained Baptist minister, said, “I would rather see a sermon than hear one any day.” She insisted that in the Way of the Cross she had indeed seen a sermon.
Sengulane, who celebrated the 38th anniversary of his ordination and consecration as a bishop March 25, said having a gun in the house for protection is like having a poisonous snake for the same reason. There’s no guarantee whom it will bite. A gun is also a “very bad adviser” on how to handle conflict, he said.
The March 25 Stations of the Cross was the latest is a series of actions by Episcopalians across the church who are attempting to eliminate gun violence. Leaders at the denominational level have spoken out as well.
In mid-February, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, in written testimony to the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, urged lawmakers to “press for comprehensive and universal background checks for firearm ownership, regardless of where and how a gun is purchased; for bans on the availability to civilians of assault rifles and high-capacity magazines; and for policies designed to better regulate the manufacture of guns.”
Jefferts Schori noted that the Episcopal Church has said continually over more than 40 years “that the role of guns in our society’s culture of violence cannot be ignored.” And, while the church “supports the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms,” the presiding bishop said, the church “is clear that federal, state, and local gun laws and enforcement activities should focus their efforts on keeping guns out of the hands of children and those who would use them to commit violent crimes.”
The presiding bishop could not participate in the Stations of the Cross in Washington, D.C. because she was in England for a meeting of the Anglican Communion Standing Committee, which followed the inauguration of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. Douglas, who is also a member of the Standing Committee and attended the inauguration, attended the first two days of the meeting before returning to help lead the event.
In late February, the church’s Executive Council called on Episcopalians to “repent of our own roles in the glorification and trivialization of violence.” The resolution urges Episcopalians to work toward “comprehensive social responses that seek to stem the cycles of violence that fuel gun crime.”
It also called for making mental-health services available and accessible “without stigma in a variety of settings,” and available to “those who have suffered trauma from exposure to violence or violent environments.”
Resolution A&N004 urged elected officials to make gun trafficking a federal crime and empower law enforcement officials to investigate and prosecute straw purchasers, gun traffickers and their entire criminal networks.”
And it urged Episcopalians to “examine our own cultural attitudes toward violence through efforts in congregations and communities [and] to repent of our own roles in the glorification and trivialization of violence, and to commit ourselves to another way.”
Just after the council meeting, House of Deputies President the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings and Vice President the Hon. Byron Rushing issued a letter to General Convention deputies outlining council’s resolution and saying they hoped the deputies would “help lead the church to fulfill this resolution.”
On March 22, the Episcopal Public Policy Network, based in Washington, D.C., issued a policy alert here suggesting three steps Episcopalians could take to respond to the calls from the church’s leadership to advocate for an end to gun violence.

There is a terrifyingly huge array of baby toys on the market and entire stores devoted to the play needs of a toddler or baby. Of course, for most of us, those brightly colored toys are what we’ve been waiting for as our baby grew. You might be ready for a room full of entertainment for your baby, but is that really what she needs or even wants? Finding the best toys for your baby or toddler isn’t always as simple as just picking up the most colorful box on the toy aisle – or the least colorful for that matter.
There has been a shift among many toys from forms of play to forms of entertainment. Your goal with toys isn’t to just entertain your baby. Avoid any toys that seek to keep your little one thrilled with songs, lights, flashing or just buttons. If the sole purpose of the toy is to push a button to see balls move around or to hear a fuzzy friend sing, you’re missing the most critical element.
Toys should be encouraging your baby to develop skills and learn in a fun way while they play. They are entertained pressing a magic button for songs and flashing lights, but they are also entertained turning on the television for songs and flashing lights. Look for toys instead that challenge your child in a fun way. Blocks she can practice building with, dolls she can dress and put to bed, trains she can zoom around while making her own sound effects. If the toy is doing more than your child during play time, you have a problem.
Every toy should be educational on some level. But the best toys for learning aren’t the ones trying to replace human interaction through electronics. A book that reads itself is fun for your child to play with sometimes, but don’t be fooled into thinking a talking book will teach your child to read. The talking book or animal or video game can help your child practice skills and that is certainly educational, but many of the educational games or toys aren’t as fun for children to play with, and they would enjoy sitting down and reading with a parent much more anyhow. Enjoy educational toys for what they are, but don’t plan on experiencing miracles if the toy is doing all of the work and your child isn’t doing much at all.
The price of toys can add up tremendously, and it’s frustrating to spend quite a bit only to find your child more interested in the box the toy came in than the toy itself. To avoid bankruptcy from toy purchases, seek out used toy solutions as much as possible. Garage sales, eBay, Craigslist and consignment shops all tend to have toys for far less than you’d expect to pay in the store. Trading or sharing toys with friends is a great way to recycle and spice up the toy selection for everyone in a group – especially if you’re able to pass toys around to babies with staggered birthdays keeping everything in a small circle of families with young children.

24 Feb, 12 | by shellraine, e-Media Editor
Susan Quilliam, Consumer Correspondent of the JFPRHC writes:
Last Friday saw the ‘Sexual Pleasures’ lecture, a regular annual event in the RSM’s Sexuality and Sexual Health section’s seminar calendar. The Journal was delighted to see that Lesley Smith, curator of Tutbury Castle, specialist in historical sexuality, and author of many a fascinating article for our own pages, was one of the speakers.
Her talk – Sex and the Tudors – was a total delight. Not only did she rampage through Tudor history (with, unsurprisingly, strong emphasis on Henry VIII) giving us fascinating details about the effect of culture, religion and contemporary science. She also told us – and showed us, with visual aids – exactly what the Tudors did about contraception and STIs, en route debunking a few myths about chastity belts; apparently they are a myth with most ‘examples’ being Victorian.
We were by turns fascinated, astonished and incapacitated with laughter. The coup de grace came with Lesley’s blow-by-blow description of how she had scientifically validated – and personally tested – the claim that lemons and limes at one time popularly served as a viable, cap-like contraceptive. (In case you’re wondering, limes are best, they’re very comfortable, and the juice protects against infection.)
Having witnessed at first hand Lesley’s ability to captivate an audience face-to-face, we look forward to her continuing to captivate Journal readers on our pages.

OXFORD -- We live in time of instant communication. But that doesn't mean all communication is instant. Some of us -- columnists, specifically -- must meet advance deadlines, meaning hours and often days pass before anyone reads what we write.
Much can happen between the time an article is finished and submitted and presses roll (or uploads are complete).
This column is a straddle -- a time straddle, if you will.
What it straddles is election day.
It is being written before a single vote is counted. You may be reading before, during or well after all tallies are complete.
That means any column predicting the outcome, analyzing the results or (worse) pretending to explain the results would be useless -- too soon or too late.
What I can do, however, is try to offer perspective.
My comments are in two parts.
First, leaving the country isn't as delectable an option as it might seem.
If you haven't heard someone say, "If Obama wins, I'm leaving," you haven't been listening. People have also been saying, "I can't live in this country if Romney wins." Some might be packing right now.
Such rhetoric is as predictable as having to write a time-straddling column once every four years.
People become emotionally wrought; they fear the nation can't survive if the wrong person wins.
But the problem with actually homesteading under another flag is that most nations are not really amenable to foreigners. Remember, "illegal alien" is merely a matter of geography.
Don't believe it? Pick a nation. Visit its official immigration website and read the rules. American tourists (and their dollars) are usually encouraged to visit. If you want to put down roots ... well, that's different.
Mexico, for example, has pretty strict restrictions on owning real estate. Proof of steady income from a reliable source is required, too. Mexico, it seems, feels it already has a sufficient number of poor people.
So, go north. Surely the friendly people of Canada welcome American immigrants?
Actually, not so much.
In addition to many of the same restrictions as Mexico, Canada, remember, got a head start on this "free health care for everybody" thing. It didn't take long for Canadians to realize this would make Canada a desirable place to set up housekeeping. Their remedy? One has to be healthy -- certified by medical exams -- to be approved as a permanent resident.
Many nations, including beautiful Belize, allow repeated renewal of visitor permits. One program even encourages people to "retire" in the tropical paradise. But to qualify, one has to be at least 45, pass a medical screening, including an HIV test, provide proof of a clean (noncriminal) record and deposit at least $2,000 per month into a Belizean bank. (Oh, and should any retiree choose to exit the retirement program, say after the next election, anything purchased in Belize is forfeited to the government.)
For a real change of scenery, there is always Russia. There is one pretty serious requirement: No American may gain permanent resident status in Moscow without marrying a Russian.
Part two: Assuming all these preconditions make leaving the country sound less appealing, be comforted: The presidency, in reality, isn't nearly as powerful or important an office as the press and popular culture make it out to be.
Yes, presidents get to fly on Air Force One and make important speeches. They make important appointments, focus our attention where they think it needs to be and serve as the public face of America to the world.
But with the exception of executive orders (which the last two presidents have pushed to the limit), they have no real power. Making laws, taxing and spending are handled down the street.
Debt and the deficit have been big issues, right? The minions of Congress (too often nameless and faceless) were awarded the power of the purse in 1789. Maybe it has been reduced some since, but not much.
Abortion, too, has been a big issue. The judiciary granted women the power of choice 40 years ago. The president, nor Congress, can do anything about that.
So, whether you are miserable that your guy lost (or soon will) or elated that your guy won (or soon will) keep your balance. Be glad presidents aren't dictators (yet) and stay here. Feel loved by your fellow Americans -- because you're more welcome here than you will be anywhere else.

Tenjho Tenge was a fun anime to watch, and I wanted to do something perky with it from the very beginning. I love the characters of the sisters, Aya and Maya, so I decided to concentrate on them for this vid.
I did some experimenting with techniques "behind the scenes" for this video, and I'm pleased with the results. I had a blast making this, although after a few hours the pace of the song made me a bit jittery. =P
"Tenjho Tenge" means "Heaven and Earth", hence the title.

HRT Walvis Petroleum (HRT Walvis), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brazil-based oil and gas company HRT Participações em Petróleo, has commenced drilling at the Murombe-1 well on the Murombe Prospect in the Walvis basin, offshore of Namibia.
HRT Walvis is drilling the well to target the Murombe Prospect located in the Petroleum Exploration License 23 (PEL-23).
The well is situated 220km north-west of Walvis Bay in 1,391m of water depth and about 15km east of HRT’s first well on PEL-23.
HRT has plans to spud the well in about 72 days to a projected total depth of 5,360m using the semi-submersible Transocean Marianas.
During drilling, the well will test a 1,000km² basin floor fan on a way4-dip closure at its highest structural elevation within a turbidite complex.
The company is drilling the well to test the resource potential of Barremian-aged turbidite reservoirs as its primary objective. Its shallower secondary objective is the Santonian-aged Baobab confined channel complex with turbidite reservoirs.
The Boabab reservoir is anticipated to be discovered at 3,670m depth below sea level, while the Murombe reservoir is likely to be found at 5,090m depth below sea level.
HRT Participações em Petróleo CEO, Milton Franke, said: "HRT is very excited to continue its Namibia exploration campaign with the Murombe well. We hope to benefit from the positive results of the Wingat-1 where source rocks and light oil were discovered."
GALP Energia holds a 14% participating interest in HRT’s current exploration programme to drill the first three wells.
HRT is the operator of ten blocks offshore of Namibia, which contains four petroleum licenses.

Former Lubbock ISD CFO Jeffrey Baum Reportedly Under Investigation
More information has been released as to why the former CFO of Lubbock ISD was placed on paid administrative leave.
KAMC News reports that Lubbock ISD Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Baum was placed on administrative leave on August 6th, 2019, but Lubbock ISD did not make that information public until September 12th, 2019.
On October 24th, 2019, it was announced that Baum had resigned from his position as CFO, which would be effective at the end of his contract, June 30th, 2020. In the meantime, Baum has been reassigned to what Lubbock ISD has referred to as “special projects."
An open records request by KAMC News revealed that Baum is the subject of an investigation for "inappropriate/unprofessional language with a district employee."
According to a memorandum by Lubbock ISD Superintendent Dr. Kathy Rollo, Baum is not allowed on school property without administrative approval pending the outcome of the investigation. He is also not allowed to have any contact with Lubbock ISD students or faculty.
It's unclear if Baum's resignation is connected to the outcome of the investigation, or if the investigation is still ongoing.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Guide to Inspections of Medical Device Manufacturers
The firm must have written complaint handling procedures to process information in a uniform and timely manner. Indicators that the firm may not be in compliance would be shown in the firm's failure to pursue additional follow up to determine some or all of the following complaint information:
a. Identification of the complainant, including address and phone number and situation where reported event occurred.
b. Identification of complaint product to the extent necessary to identify the specific device history record for the manufacture of the implicated product.
This would be the lack of a model and serial number where one or both are necessary and the firm failed to try to obtain the information.
c. Information needed to determine time to failure and/or if the product has failed within its warranty period. This would be the lack of a beginning use or failure date (for IVDs - the expiration date).
d. Information to determine cycle to failure if the product's life is determined by cycle of use and not time. This would be failing to obtain how many times a mechanical device may have been used when the device has a built-in counter.
e. Information relative to contributing factors to the reported failure mode.
An example of this would be failing to obtain information about additional devices in use at the time, and the electrical environment during the reported failure that could be due to an Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problem.
The firm should evaluate complaints thoroughly to determine whether an investigation is necessary. Indicators that the firm may not be in compliance would be shown by:
a. A history of one or more similar failure modes and has not investigated to confirm the reported failure mode.
b. The complaint records lack the reason for not investigating and/or the name of the individual responsible for the decision not to investigate.
If the firm states it has never received complaints and because of this it does not need a complaint handling system, it should be cited on the FDA 483 for failure to have a complaint handling system.

This post is part of Links à Mode: IFB Weekly Round-up
Happy Thursday, dear friends!
Everyone enjoying the 'heat wave' in good, old Blighty?
It's been a few marvellous days and I must say it's been great setting up home and tidying up the garden considering it's October in two days!
I've been reorganising my vintage clothing site and I hope to share it with you soon. Apart from that, I've been looking at photographs of Milan Fashion Week SS12 and it's been a fun-themed show. And as you probably already know, vintage is still on trend. I'll talk about it soon.
In the meantime, hope you like my inspirations.
Have a great weekend.

Love Burberry Prorsum's hues for Autumn 2011. As most of you will know, I can't bear monochrome palettes. I believe bright colours make the world a cheerful place. But that's just me.

I couldn't resist including this photo. It should be a spring photo but there's no stopping anyone to use these lovely lanterns in the garden whilst catching the last warm days of autumn － especially this week in Britain. The lanterns seem to have Pantone's colours too.

Lay your softest rug on the front room floor. Put the fire on if you have one. Snuggle up on the sofa with your favourite blanket; reach out for your warm apple and cider drink on your side table whilst you read a book...
Life is good.

This book sculpture by Su Blackwell reminds me of a clear autumn night when you're just about to go inside a country house.
I love Su's art. She's the most prolific and leading paper sculptor in Britain and last year collaborated with Nicole Fahri. See the link here. For my friends in the US, you'd have seen her work on the Beringer 'Vineyard' advert in 2007.

Remember the fireflies in your back garden when you were young? For those who haven't seen them at all, fairy lights carefully placed inside a glass jar or old demijohn is close enough to the real thing. Prepare to be mesmerised...

So if my life were going to be saved by rock and roll this year, it wouldn't be by either of these records. But if it was one or the other, I'd put my money on the Smith. Lou's is the better record. But I'm surprised to be surprised by Patti's. And I find some solace in it, too.
In any case, I'm glad to have both of them figuring out ways around the oldies trap that left old Jerry Lee Lewis sighing, "Wish I was 18 again, and going where I've never been." No need to rush, Jerry. No need to rush. We will.

The traction trebuchet, also referred to as a mangonel at times, first appeared in Ancient China during the 4th century BC as a siege weapon. It spread westward, probably by the Avars, and was adopted by the Byzantines in the mid 6th century AD. It uses manpower to swing the arm.
The later counterweight trebuchet, also known as the counterpoise trebuchet, uses a counterweight to swing the arm. It appeared in both Christian and Muslim lands around the Mediterranean in the 12th century, and made its way back to China via Mongol conquests in the 13th century.

The trebuchet is a compound machine that makes use of the mechanical advantage of a lever to throw a projectile. They are typically large constructions (up to 30 meters (100 ft) in height or more) made primarily of wood, usually reinforced with metal, leather, rope, and other materials. They are usually immobile and must be assembled on-site, possibly making use of local lumber with only key parts brought with the army to the site of the siege or battle.
A trebuchet consists primarily of a long beam attached by an axle suspended high above the ground by a stout frame and base, such that the beam can rotate vertically through a wide arc (typically over 180°). A sling is attached to one end of the beam to hold the projectile. The projectile is thrown when the beam is quickly rotated by applying force to the opposite end of the beam. The mechanical advantage is primarily obtained by having the projectile end of the beam much longer than the opposite end where the force is applied – usually four to six times longer.
Counterweight trebuchets are powered by gravity; potential energy is stored by slowly raising an extremely heavy box (typically filled with stones, sand, or lead) attached by a hinged connection to the shorter end of the beam, and releasing it on command. Traction trebuchets are human powered; on command, men pull ropes attached to the shorter end of the trebuchet beam. The difficulties of coordinating the pull of many men together repeatedly and predictably makes counterweight trebuchets preferable for the larger machines, though they are more complicated to engineer. Further increasing their complexity is that either winches or treadwheels, aided by block and tackle, are typically required to raise the more massive counterweights. So while counterweight trebuchets require significantly fewer men to operate than traction trebuchets, they require significantly more time to reload. In a long siege, reload time may not be a critical concern.
When the trebuchet is loosed, the force causes rotational acceleration of the beam around the axle (the fulcrum of the lever). These factors multiply the acceleration transmitted to the throwing portion of the beam and its attached sling. The sling starts rotating with the beam, but rotates farther (typically about 360°) and therefore faster, transmitting this increased speed to the projectile. The length of the sling increases the mechanical advantage, and also changes the trajectory so that, at the time of release from the sling, the projectile is traveling in the desired speed and angle to give it the range to hit the target. Adjusting the sling's release point is the primary means of fine-tuning the range, as the rest of the trebuchet's actions are difficult to adjust after construction.
The rotation speed of the throwing beam increases smoothly until it reaches maximum rotation speed. Then the arm continues to rotate, slowing, coming to rest at the end of the rotation rather smoothly as momentum is transferred to the sling and its projectile. This is unlike the violent sudden stop inherent in the action of other siege engine designs such as the onager, which loses energy thereby. This key difference also makes the trebuchet much more durable, allowing for larger and more powerful machines.
A trebuchet projectile can be almost anything, even debris, corpses, or incendiaries, but is typically a large stone. Dense stone, or even metal, specially worked to be round and smooth, gives the best range and predictability. When attempting to breach enemy walls, it is important to use materials that will not shatter on impact; projectiles were sometimes brought from distant quarries to get the desired properties.
The traction trebuchet, also referred to as a mangonel in some sources, is thought to have originated in ancient China. Torsion-based siege weapons such as the ballista and onager are not known to have been used in China.
The first recorded use of traction trebuchets was in ancient China. They were probably used by the Mohists as early as 4th century BC, descriptions of which can be found in the Mojing (compiled in the 4th century BC). In Chapter 14 of the Mojing, the traction trebuchet is described hurling hollowed out logs filled with burning charcoal at enemy troops. The trebuchet was carried westward by the Avars and appeared next in the eastern Mediterranean by the late 6th century AD, where it replaced torsion powered siege engines such as the ballista and onager due to its simpler design and faster rate of fire. The Byzantines adopted the traction trebuchet possibly as early as 587, the Persians in the early 7th century, and the Arabs in the second half of the 7th century. The Franks and Saxons adopted the weapon in the 8th century.
The catapult, the account of which has been translated from the Greek several times, was quadrangular, with a wide base but narrowing towards the top, using large iron rollers to which were fixed timber beams "similar to the beams of big houses", having at the back a sling, and at the front thick cables, enabling the arm to be raised and lowered, and which threw "enormous blocks into the air with a terrifying noise".— Peter Purton
West of China, the traction trebuchet remained the primary siege weapon until the 12th century when it was replaced by the counterweight trebuchet. In China the traction trebuchet continued to be used until the counterweight trebuchet was introduced during the Mongol conquest of the Song dynasty. In 617 Li Mi (Sui dynasty) constructed 300 trebuchets for his assault on Luoyang, in 621 Li Shimin did the same at Luoyang, and onward into the Song dynasty when in 1161, trebuchets operated by Song dynasty soldiers fired bombs of lime and sulphur against the ships of the Jin dynasty navy during the Battle of Caishi.
The term "traction trebuchet" is a modern invention and was not used by contemporary users of the weapon. The term was created mainly to distinguish it from the onager, a torsion powered artillery weapon which is often confused with another name for the traction trebuchet, the mangonel, a generic medieval term for stone throwing artillery. Confusion between the onager and mangonel in terminology has led some historians today to use traction trebuchet instead. The mangonel is called al-manjanīq in Arabic. In China the traction trebuchet was called the pào (砲).
The hand-trebuchet (Greek: cheiromangana) was a staff sling mounted on a pole using a lever mechanism to propel projectiles. Basically a one-man traction trebuchet, it was used by emperor Nikephoros II Phokas around 965 to disrupt enemy formations in the open field. It was also mentioned in the Taktika of general Nikephoros Ouranos (c. 1000), and listed in De obsidione toleranda (author anonymous) as a form of artillery.
According to Paul E. Chevedden, a hybrid trebuchet existed that used both counterweight and human propulsion. However no illustrations or descriptions of the device exist from the time when they were supposed to have been used. The entire argument for the existence of hybrid trebuchets rests on accounts of increasingly more effective siege weapons. Peter Purton suggests that this was simply because the machines became larger. The earliest depiction of a hybrid trebuchet is dated to 1462, when trebuchets had already become obsolete due to cannons.
The earliest solid reference to counterweight trebuchets in European sources dates to the siege of Castelnuovo Bocca d'Adda in 1199. They were used in Germany from around 1205, in England at least by 1217, and in Iberia shortly after 1218. By the 1230s the counterweight trebuchet was a common item in siege warfare.
Paul E. Chevedden argues that counterweight trebuchets appeared even earlier in Europe based on what might have been counterweight trebuchets in earlier sources. The 12th century Byzantine historian Niketas Choniates may have been referring to a counterweight trebuchet when he described one equipped with a windlass, which is only useful to counterweight machines, at the siege of Zevgminon in 1165. At the Siege of Nicaea in 1097 the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos reportedly invented new pieces of heavy artillery which deviated from the conventional design and made a deep impression on everyone. Possible references to counterweight trebuchets also appear for the second siege of Tyre in 1124, where the crusaders reportedly made use of "great trebuchets". Chevedden argues that given the references to new and better trebuchets that by the 1120–30s, the counterweight trebuchet was being used in a variety of places by different peoples such as the crusader states, the Normans of Sicily and the Seljuks.
Counterweight trebuchets do not appear with certainty in Chinese historical records until about 1268 when the Mongols laid siege to Fancheng and Xiangyang. After failing to take the twin cities of Fancheng and Xiangyang for several years, collectively known as the Siege of Fancheng and Xiangyang, the Mongol army brought in two Persian engineers to build hinged counterweight trebuchets. Known as the Huihui trebuchet (回回砲, where "huihui" is a loose slang referring to any Muslims), or Xiangyang trebuchet (襄陽砲) because they were first encountered in that battle. Ismail and Al-aud-Din arrived travelled to South China from Iraq and mangonels and trebuchets for the siege. Chinese and Muslim engineers operated artillery and siege engines for the Mongol armies. The counterweight trebuchet, known as the Muslim trebuchet in China, replaced the traction version after its introduction in the late 13th century. Its greater range was however, somewhat countered by the fact that it had to be constructed close to the site of the siege unlike traction trebuchets, which were easier to take apart and put back together again where necessary.
The counterweight trebuchet remained in use in China for roughly two centuries, at which point it was well on its way to obsolescence.

The couillard is a smaller version of a counterweight trebuchet with a single frame instead of the usual double "A" frames. The counterweight is split into two halves to avoid hitting the center frame.
Decline of military use
With the introduction of gunpowder, the trebuchet began to lose its place as the siege engine of choice to the cannon. Trebuchets were still used both at the siege of Burgos (1475–1476) and siege of Rhodes (1480). One of the last recorded military uses was by Hernán Cortés, at the 1521 siege of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán. Accounts of the attack note that its use was motivated by the limited supply of gunpowder. The attempt was reportedly unsuccessful: the first projectile landed on the trebuchet itself, destroying it.

Recreation and education
Most trebuchet use in recent centuries has been for recreational or educational, rather than military purposes. New machines have been constructed and old ones restored by living history enthusiasts, for historical re-enactments, and use in other historical celebrations. As their construction is substantially simpler than modern weapons, trebuchets also serve as the object of engineering challenges.
The trebuchet's technical constructions were lost at the beginning of the 16th century. In 1984, the French engineer Renaud Beffeyte made the first modern reconstruction of a trebuchet, based on documents from 1324.
The largest currently-functioning trebuchet in the world is the 22-tonne machine at Warwick Castle, England, constructed in 2005. Based on historical designs, it stands 18 metres (59 ft) tall and throws missiles typically 36 kg (80 lbs) up to 300 metres (980 ft). The trebuchet gained significant interest from numerous news sources when in 2015 a burning missile fired from the siege engine struck and damaged a Victorian-era boathouse situated at the River Avon close by, inadvertently demonstrating the weapon's power. It is built on the design of a similar trebuchet at Middelaldercentret in Denmark. In 1989, Middelaldercentret became the first place in the modern era to have a working trebuchet.
Trebuchets compete in one of the classifications of machines used to hurl pumpkins at the annual pumpkin chucking contest held in Sussex County, Delaware, U.S. The record-holder in that contest for trebuchets is the Yankee Siege II from New Hampshire, which at the 2013 WCPC Championship tossed a pumpkin 2835.8 ft (864.35 metres). The 51-foot-tall (16 m), 55,000-pound (25,000 kg) trebuchet flings the standard 8–10-pound (3.6–4.5 kg) pumpkins, specified for all entries in the WCPC competition.
A large trebuchet has recently been tested in Belfast as part of the set for the television series Game of Thrones.
A large trebuchet based on Edward I's "Warwolf" was constructed for a scene in David Mackenzie's movie Outlaw King about Robert the Bruce, King of Scots. During the film, it hurls an incendiary projectile at Stirling Castle. It recreates the true story that it took some three months to build, and Edward I "Longshanks" would not let his enemy surrender until he could use it.
Although rarely used as a weapon today, trebuchets maintain the interest of professional and hobbyist engineers. One modern technological development, especially for the competitive pumpkin-hurling events, is the "floating arms" design. Instead of using the traditional axle fixed to a frame, these devices are mounted on wheels that roll on a track parallel to the ground, with a counterweight that falls directly downward upon release, allowing for greater efficiency by increasing the proportion of energy transferred to the projectile.

On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles (cont.)
By Flavio Barbiero
On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles
The hypothesis that the position of the poles - and as well the inclination of the terrestrial axis in relation to the ecliptic - might change first began to be given serious consideration during the 19th century. Some of the greatest scientists of the time, including J.C. Maxwell and Sir George Darwin (son of the famous Charles Darwin), considered this problem and decided that the stabilising effect of the equatorial bulge was so great that no conceivable force could make the Earth shift on its axis, except for a collision with another planet. They therefore dismissed the idea of any shift of the poles as impossible and, in fact, not worth discussing. Their influence has been so strong that to this day no one has seriously contemplated such an hypothesis again.
Hapgood too accepts un-critically the assumption that only a "planetary collision" is capable of displacing the axis of rotation. Therefore he proposes a theory that explains the shift of the poles as the result of the shift of the whole Earth's crust. Based on the research of the Russian scientist V.V. Beloussov, he assumes that at a depth of approximately one hundred miles in the upper mantle there is a layer of liquid rock which behaves as a bearing allowing the whole crust to "shift" when subjected to a displacing force. In Hapgood's opinion this force is provided by the centrifugal momentum of ice caps positioned eccentrically with respect to the poles. In this way the Earth would keep its axis of rotation unchanged, but the poles and the whole Earth's surface would shift and change latitude.
The evidence proving that the poles where in different positions during the Pleistocene era is quite impressive, and this explains why Hapgood's theory was approved by scientists of the calibre of Einstein and K.F. Mather. But it meets with so many difficulties that it appears highly controversial. Above all, it does not seem to be compatible with other geological theories which are widely accepted today, notably plate tectonics and continental drift.
Furthermore the theory does not explain some of the key peculiarities of the climate changes of the late Pleistocene - most significantly the speed with which these changes appear to have taken place. According to Hapgood's theory it took the north pole at least two thousand years to move from its previous position to the present. The evidence we have, however, supports a much faster climatic change. It was Hapgood himself who underlined a great amount of data proving the high speed at which the shift of the poles appears to have happened; yet the mechanism he proposes does not explain this speed.
It appears that we can explain completely and coherently what took place at the end of Pleistocene by admitting the possibility of a shift of the poles of the same magnitude Hapgood hypothesises, but in a much shorter time: not more than a few days. This possibility is generally rejected because no convincing explanation for such a phenomenon has been brought forward so far. According to scientists, the only way to make a planet change its axis of rotation is that of "adding" to it a mass comparable to its own. But it is my view that at least one other way exists, one that has not been considered yet -- that of "re-shaping" its equatorial bulges around a different axis.
If Earth was a perfectly rigid and spherical body, a single man walking on its surface could make its poles shift. In fact, the stability of the Earth is provided only by its equatorial bulges, some 12 km thick, very small with respect to the Earth's radius. Move the equatorial bulges and the poles will move accordingly. Impossible? Not really, if you consider that two thirds of Earth's surface is covered with water; and every naval engineer knows that free liquid surfaces induce instability (experience shows that a simple tsunami is enough to make the poles shift of by measurable amount). Let's see how this instability can result in a wide and permanent shift of the poles.

Transitions Abroad Travel Writing Site
Papua New Guinea by Carl Parkes
I've been searching out travel writing websites and blogs for over a decade, and have witnessed dozens of decent efforts to help out prospective travel writers possibly make a living in this perilous craft. I'm not just talking about general writing sites, but those specifically oriented to the craft of travel writing. The results have not been very pretty, to tell the truth. Too much of a scattershot approach or, quite often, an obvious conflict of interest where the author of the travel writing website or blog is also in the business of promoting their books or lectures about the profession. And the whole industry is surprisingly incestuous.
A few days ago, Tim Leffel launched a travel writers resource website for Transitions Abroad that finally puts together nearly every possible helpful angle any travel writer could hope for, and provides enough links to keep everyone busy for months and months. This website is a work of art, and all it needs now is an ongoing blog to keep everyone coming back on a daily basis.
P.S. And did I mention that Transitions Abroad is the world's most useful publication for world travelers, volunteers, and anyone who wishes to work overseas?

Near-curve power prices continued to move down yesterday as the Ukrainian situation stabilised and commodity prices weakened. Prices could record a further loss today should fuel costs decrease again although a rebound in carbon contracts is a possibility. Gas prices were also pushed down by the eased tensions in Crimea with near-curve prices benefitting the most. Today UK LDZ demand is expected to fall to its lowest point in 2014 so far following a 17mcm decrease. The rest of the week should see temperatures remain 7 °C above the seasonal average in Europe although cooler weather is expected next week. Prices should continue their bearish trend today on the back of this healthy supply/ demand picture. Today's prices can also be found in an easy to read table on our 'current UK energy price' page.
How did the energy markets close?
Gas prices moved down yesterday with some contracts displaying a drop of up to 0.25ppt. Day-Ahead gas was the only contract to rise in price following a late rally in the afternoon due to a drop in flows, thus shortening the UK gas system. Prompt power prices made gains yesterday although bearish movement was observed further along the curve; Day-Ahead climbed £2.00/MWh higher. On the far-curve some contracts recorded losses of up to £0.20/MWh due to a mild weather forecast for the UK.
How did the energy markets open?
The UK gas system opened 13mcm short this morning which provided support to gas prices, although the gains were limited to a maximum of 0.25ppt. Langeled flows dropped below 70mcm and withdrawals via the Rough facility fell to 10mcm. Day-Ahead was the only contract to move lower, displaying a 0.15ppt loss despite the short system as the expected milder weather was the main driver of the contract. Power contracts showed similar movement to gas as most contracts opened at a premium. Day-Ahead power opened £2.25/MWh lower as wind generation levels are expected to improve significantly tomorrow. However a drop in carbon prices weighed on the far-curve which was also assisted by weaker Brent.
1-year forward prices
Market close data has revealed that the 1-year forward price for both commercial gas & commercial electricity climbed higher - closing at 62.38ppt and £49.95/MWh, respectively. This can be seen in the graph below.
Note: Brent Crude prices are taken from opening market data, and do not represent the price as it changes throughout the day.
Latest Brent Crude Prices
Brent 1st-nearby prices fell by $1.54/b yesterday to revert back to the levels seen in February. Meanwhile WTI decreased by $1.88/b on the back of weaker oil demand, taking the Brent/WTI spread to below -$5/b.

His fans were very excited when Robert Pattinson visited Berlin a few weeks ago. The actor wasn’t here to promote his role of the vampire in “Twilight”, but to present David Cronenberg’s film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s “Cosmopolis”.
We spoke with the Englishman about his old and new roles and also about his best and worst moments of last year.
INTERVIEW: Mr. Pattinson, your hair has gotten longer again. You had your hair cut into a buzz cut back then. Was it for your role in “Cosmopolis” or “Bel Ami?”
ROB: Neither, it was for a movie in which I’m playing a soldier who found Sadam Hussein. The shoot was supposed to start in spring but it was postponed until fall.
INTERVIEW: Your roles left the fantasy genre and have become more realistic, do you agree?
ROB: As an actor, you just have to be very lucky to get great roles and when I like one, I’ll take the opportunity. If they do get more realistic, it’s either a coincidence or it happens subconsciously.
INTERVIEW: In front of the “Kino International” here in Berlin – where “Comospolis” will premiere this evening – faithful fans have been camping out since yesterday. Do you think about the possibility of scaring them off with such roles [as yours in Comospolis]? Your fans might want to see the vampire Edward Cullen instead of Eric Packer, a billionaire with an identity crisis.
ROB: I don’t think that is the case. Since I shot “Bel Ami” something peculiar happened: my fans gave me my favorite books as presents. Yesterday I was in Paris and at the premiere there was a queue of people who wanted to give me books! It’s incredible, isn’t it?
INTERVIEW: Are you happy about the books? And do you really take them all with you?
ROB: Of course, there were really excellent books among them. Including one written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
INTERVIEW: Do you hope that your fans will learn something from your film adaptations?
ROB: Even if only one person among hundreds was inspired to read the corresponding book and deals with it in greater depth, it would be wonderful. Cinema can be more than pure entertainment, at least sometimes.
INTERVIEW: Is that why you said you don’t want to act in teen movies anymore? I read that.
ROB: Yes, I saw that too. Someone misunderstood me or wanted to misunderstand. Who says that “Cosmopolis” wasn’t a teen movie? If there is a sex or violent scene in a movie it is automatically classified as a movie for adults, regardless of what the topic is about. Such categories are completely absurd. No, I would never really say something like that!
INTERVIEW: But “Cosmopolis” isn’t really a movie for young teens, is it?
ROB: Well, I wasn’t easily shocked even as a teenager. And to be honest: every teenager watches hardcore-porn nowadays and probably has seen more blatant things than the stuff in our movie.
INTERVIEW: Yes, that’s true. That means parents have no reasons to be apprehensive of “Cosmopolis”. All the “Twilight” fans can be sent to the cinema without hesitation!
ROB: Unless the parents have something against dialogues. If they think “Oh no, I don’t want my kids to deal with so many words!” then they probably should be apprehensive of our movie!
INTERVIEW: Speaking of movie ratings: you are naked in every movie of yours.
ROB: Right? That’s actually true.
INTERVIEW: How do you feel when you have to take off your clothes on set?
ROB: I’m British. I’m always more insecure than others. Everyone is always relaxed on set, even when they shoot a nude scene. I’m always terribly tensed and anxious.
INTERVIEW: And it doesn’t get better?
ROB: When I trust the director and absolutely want the movie to end up great, it has gotten easier now. But if that’s not the case I’ll feel like a prostitute. (laughs)
INTERVIEW: You had an excited year, what was your most amazing experience and what was the worst?
ROB: Well.. hm, there were many of both. I’d say the fact that our movie got accepted at Cannes is one of the most amazing ones. I’m very grateful for that. You know, I hoped to have a movie in competition there in maybe ten years but all of the sudden that exactly happens now. Absolutely unbelievable.
INTERVIEW: That means you didn’t have a plan for your career that would directly lead you to Cannes?
ROB: You know what, ever since the first “Twilight” movie all the journalists asked me if I was afraid to only be cast for certain roles. And then the first movie I shot when I finished the Twilight Saga gets to be in competition at Cannes. That totally stunned me.
INTERVIEW: And what did you think of yourself in your first non-vampire role?
ROB: I love the movie. I think it’s my best work. I’ve always felt uncomfortable watching myself on the big screen so far but in this case it was the total opposite.
INTERVIEW: What did you like most about your role?
ROB: This may sound a bit strange but I like how the words sound when you speak them out loud. The language, the sentences, how they are arranged – it’s all beautiful.
INTERVIEW: Which sentence did you like most?
ROB: I thought “That’s my peanuts you smell” was amazing. “I believe my sexual organ is retreating into my body right now” is also very great and absurd.
INTERVIEW: Now we spoke about your best moments, but which were the worst ones then?
ROB: My dog got sick, that was very sad (laughs). But really, it was terrible! He’s feeling better now, though.

Tracy Morgan is fighting to recover from a severe brain injury suffered in a highway crash more than five months ago, and it's uncertain if he will be "the Tracy Morgan he once was," his lawyer said yesterday. Benedict Morelli said the former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock star suffered a traumatic brain injury in the June 7 crash on the New Jersey Turnpike, in addition to a broken leg, nose, and ribs. "He's fighting to get better, and if there's a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he's going to try to do that," Morelli said. "But we just don't know because of the severity of the injuries that he sustained and the fact that he had such a severe brain injury."
Lawyers were in court in New Jersey for a scheduling conference in Morgan's lawsuit against Walmart, whose truck was involved in the crash. Morgan wasn't at the proceeding, and Morelli didn't discuss specific aspects of Morgan's condition; he had said in August that the comedian was "still struggling." "When you have a traumatic brain injury, it takes a very long time to find out how you're going to do and how much you're going to recover," Morelli said. "You just don't know. So that's where he is. He's still fighting and trying to live his life at the same time and trying to get better, and he's just not better. We're hoping and praying to get him back to where he was. But the jury's out."

All dogs deserve a loving home and a happy life, but not all dogs are given that opportunity. Too many spend their lives in cruel breeding facilities.
But now in Virginia, thousands of beagles, all bred for medical testing, will get a second chance at life after a judge ordered them to be released into shelters.
Last year PETA investigated a breeding facility operated by the contract research company Envigo in Cumberland, Virginia. They found that 5,000 beagles were being kept in inhumane “prison-like” conditions, and reported the deaths of 350 puppies.
The dogs were bred for lab testing. “The dogs had no beds, no toys, no stimulation—no real lives,” PETA wrote. “For more than 50 years, various companies have bred them at this dog factory farm to sell to laboratories for experimentation.”
Thankfully, the investigation got the attention of local lawmakers, who set out to shut this breeding facility down.
Under fire, Envigo submitted bids for permission to fulfill a sister company’s contract order by selling 2,200 dogs into 2023, but on June 27 this plan was rejected by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Norman K. Moon.
“Today’s ruling properly thwarted Envigo’s shady attempts to ‘prolong operations’ and sell as many dogs as it could despite already admitting that it couldn’t comply with the pitifully minimal requirements of the federal Animal Welfare Act,” says PETA Senior Vice President of Cruelty Investigations Daphna Nachminovitch in a press release.
After that order, Envigo, the Humane Society and the U.S. government presented a joint plan to move the remaining 4,000 beagles in the facility to shelters for adoption.
@MizzHogan WE DID IT — the beagles will be rescued 🎉🥳❤️🐶— PETA (@peta) July 1, 2022
Pending court approval or settlement, all 4,000 surviving dogs at Envigo will be spared from experiments & have a chance at adoption!
Thank YOU to all who helped make this happen! 🙌 #Save3000EnvigoBeagles pic.twitter.com/j2l0UeRULG
According to the Winston-Salem Journal, a federal judge in Lynchburg, Virginia signed off on the proposal on Tuesday, allowing the dogs to finally be moved to shelters.
“Virginia is for dog lovers today,” said Virginia State Senator Bill Stanley, R-Franklin County, who co-sponsored sponsored legislation to protect dogs and cats at research facilities, according to the Journal, adding that the goal now was “finding good, permanent, loving homes for all of these dogs.”
Envigo will pay the Humane Society $100 per beagle, and $150 per nursing mother and litter under 8 weeks, which will be transferred to the shelters to help fund the dogs’ care.

“PETA’s groundbreaking undercover investigation helped spark a historic domino effect of state and federal legislative and law-enforcement action that paved the way for these dogs’ independence and this dog prison’s closure,” says PETA Senior Vice President of Cruelty Investigations Daphna Nachminovitch in a press release.
“Envigo’s surviving victims will soon be given the opportunity to have what every dog deserves—the freedom to enjoy life, love, and respect for their individuality as members of a family home.”
Now, shelters are now making plans to care for the 4,000 beagles. According to WRAL, Triangle Beagle Rescue of North Carolina is seeking fosters for the rescued beagles.
“Those dogs have never put their paws on grass. Many of them have never seen the sun. They’ve never had a toy. They’ve never had a bed. They haven’t had a family,” said PETA vice president Dan Paden.
While the effort to shut down the breeding facility was a success, now the work turns to get all these dogs the great homes they deserve.
“Getting this facility shut down was a great bipartisan win this year in Richmond. Now who wants a puppy?!” Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas wrote on Twitter. “Going to need lots of people to step up here.”

No dog should have to spend their lives in an inhumane breeding facility or be used for experiments. We’re so glad this operation was shut down and hope these dogs find loving homes soon!

In a pioneering effort, Vortoil Separation Systems Ltd of Gloucester, UK, has developed a hydro cyclone separator to remove oil from water. The hydrocyclone separator can convert the kinetic energy contained by flowing liquids into powerful centrifugal forces. This results in the instantaneous separation of oil and water. The vortex action inside the tube causes the two liquids of varying densities to flow in opposite directions, and water and oil are collected from the exits at each end of the tube. Thehydrocyclone separator limits potential harm to the environment.

Veni, Veni: The Great O Antiphons
Today in chapel we had a service that prayed, preached, and sung the O Antiphons of Advent. Traditionally, the O Antiphons were sung consecutively beginning on December 17 and ending on December 23. For our students, we experienced them all at once, but for you our readers, we offer them one at a time (albeit beginning one day late!). The brief homiletical reflections on each of the antiphons was prepared by Professor Jeffrey Oschwald, who used as source material a service written by the late Professor Robert Bertram. Bertram’s original appeared first in RESOURCES for Youth Ministry 1 (January—April 1969). Copyright © 1969 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are Advent People. We wait. We wait. We hope for what we do not see. But the nights of our Advent are long, and the nights of our Advent are cold, and dark. We grow weary and lose hope. Our hearts grow cold. And, in the end, the darkness seeps into our souls.
For generation after generation, the Advent people of God have encountered these problems. Those who have gone before us, however, found a way to “hold fast to the hope” that they confessed. They found a way to renew their joy and to rekindle their passion. They simply took these problems to the Lord in prayer.
During the last week of their annual celebration of Advent, when they gathered for evening prayer, our fathers and mothers in the Faith voiced together their Advent longing. The words they used, these antiphons, were said before and after their signing of the Magnificat- Mary’s Advent song of joyous hopefulness. Beginning with the seventeenth of December, each night had its own special antiphon. These prayers reminded the people of God that Emmanuel would indeed come again and save them. In this promise, they found strength.
In the coming days, we will use these prayers, and the hymn they inspired, to press our own fervent Advent longing. May this good news of Emmanuel prepare our hearts to welcome Him aright when He comes!
O Wisdom, proceeding from the mouth of the Most High, pervading and permeating all creation, mightily and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of understanding.
Is there anyone here who feels that his or her life is not “mightily and sweetly ordered”? Is there anyone here who suddenly ?nds himself saying, “All I have are answers I can’t trust to questions I don’t understand?” Is there anyone here who is searching for a wisdom that will not turn out, in the end, to be vanity, or deception, or just more human folly? Then we say to that person, “Brother, Sister, take heart! The Wisdom from above now comes down to you. He comes from highest Heaven to your world, down to the manger, down to the cross. Emmanuel knows all things, and He knows you. He comes to teach you God’s foolishness, which is ‘the way of wisdom.’ He is God-with-us and He is with you, too. So rejoice and sing:”
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who ord’rest all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
O Adonai, and Ruler of the House of Israel, Who appeared to Moses in the burning bush and gave him the Law on Sinai: Come and with an outstretched arm redeem us.
Is there anyone here who feels that he or she is still trapped in the ancient bondage in Egypt? Is there anyone here who feels that she is a slave to sin, or guilt, or death? That the promise of a new ruler and a new law is only the promise of new oppression? Who fears that no one can guide him through the wilderness to the Promised Land of Freedom? Then we say to that person, “Brother, Sister, take heart! ‘When the fullness of time had come, God came, born of a woman, born under the law to redeem those who are under the law.’ His name is Emmanuel. He is God-with-us and He is with you, too. So rejoice and sing:”
O come, o come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the Law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

Czech Romani group objects to reading names of Holocaust victims who were Romani, those organizing commemorations disagree
The informal Dikhas group in the Czech Republic, which is represented by Libuše Martínková and František Lacko, is claiming that the public reading of the names of Holocaust victims from the Romani community during commemorative gatherings organized by the Terezín Initiative Institute (ITI) is displeasing and embarrassing Romani people. The director of the ITI, Tereza Štěpková, says she believes the group is making the statement because they hold a grudge against her personally and that she has not yet heard a convincing argument as to why it would be disrespectful or inappropriate to read aloud the names of those who were murdered for no reason in the absolutely barbaric way that the Holocaust involved.
Dikhas: Reading the names of the dead in public is not part of Romani culture or tradition
"As members of the Dikhas group, we regularly hold discussions with Romani people about what their idea of a dignified way to honor the memories of Holocaust victims from the Romani community would be. We cannot speak for all Romani people and that is not our intention, because perfect agreement among Romani people on this question does not yet exist," the group's standpoint on the issue says, which has been sent to news server Romea.cz.
"However, from our dialogues with Romani people, we have learned that what they consider dignified during commemorative ceremonies is raising the Romani flag, showing respect by holding a minute of silence, and laying floral wreaths, especially on Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on 2 August. Furthermore, they would like the mainstream media and public officials to pay the attention to such events that they deserve," the group's statement says.
"What is sparking embarrassment and sometimes even displeasure among Romani people is the public reading of the names of Holocaust victims who were Romani at some commemorative gatherings held by the Terezín Initiative Institute. Those gatherings are held on Yom Hasho’a day in April and then in August on Roma Holocaust Memorial Day by reading the names of the dead in public, which is not part of Romani culture and tradition," the statement reads.
"The words 'Let our dead sleep' eloquently express this, unambiguously - the Roma perceive the public reading of these names aloud as disrespectful and undignified, although they do comprehend this is an attempt to remember the victims symbolically, by name. Romani people do not want to forget their forebears who perished in the Nazi camps, just as Jewish people do not, but their commemorations are culturally different," the statement reads.
Tereza Štěpková, ITI director: No argument has yet convinced me it is disrespectful and inappropriate to read these names
On the ITI website, Štěpková has published her response to the standpoint of the Dikhas group as to how the memories of Holocaust victims of Romani origin are being honored. "Despite knowing that this is motivated by a grudge held against me personally, and despite the fact that I do not consider such an approach to be correct, I have decided to express my own opinion about this and to open discussion of this subject, which has appeared recently from different parties around the event called the Public Reading of Holocaust Victims' Names - Yom Hasho’a," she writes.
"I am mainly responding because this issue is not just about me - many other people have invested energy, work, and personal participation into these events, as well as their own families' memories," the ITI director writes, reminding people that the public readings have been held since 2006. "The idea of including the names of Romani victims arose in 2010 during a discussion with the co-organizers of the event at that time, the Czech Union of Jewish Youth, the Foundation for Holocaust Victims, and Romani community representatives."
"The Museum of Romani Culture was contacted for the names of the individuals concerned and prepared the lists during the years to follow," the ITI director writes. "The aim we all have shared this entire time has been to contribute toward acknowledging the fact of the racial persecution of Romani people during the Second World War and toward the acceptance of the genocide of the Roma as part of the history of the Holocaust and the Nazi racial persecution of innocent people," she writes, adding that this is the first time negative reactions to the inclusion of Romani names among those to be read have reached her.
The ITI is not the only organization in the Czech Republic that publicly reads the names of Holocaust victims from the Romani community. Since 2019, the reading of such names has also been organized annually on 2 August by the ARA ART organization as part of an event called Leperiben ("We Do Not Forget").
"Although I have been reflecting on this a great deal over the past few months, I have not yet heard a convincing argument as to why this way of remembering the names of the people who were wrongly and absolutely barbarically murdered is inappropriate and disrespectful," the ITI director writes, adding that disagreement with Lacko's position on this matter has also been expressed by the director of the Museum of Romani Culture, Jana Horváthová. When asked about the issue by the Community News (Obecní noviny) published by the Jewish Community of Prague, Horváthová said: "The Museum is not joining Mr Lacko's initiative with regard to his disagreement with reading the names of Romani people during the Yom Hasho'a event."
Public readings of the names of Holocaust victims happen in the Czech Republic on the occasion of Israel's Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day, when Holocaust victims' memories are revered during commemorative ceremonies. This day is not an official state holiday in the Czech Republic.
19 April 1943 was the day on which the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began, and 19 April has therefore been chosen for this annual day of reverence. The public readings of Holocaust victims' names from the Romani community have been convened since 2019 by the ARA ART organization and are held on 2 August, when Europe commemorates the memory of the murder of almost 3000 Roma and Sinti in the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp at the close of the Second World War; 2 August is also not an official state holiday in the Czech Republic.

Call him a zero-taker, which he is! Glenn Foot (10-0, 5 KOs), a relatively unknown young gun from Sunderland, England, beat three undefeated fighters in a row to capture the big prize of the Prizefighter Welterweight III series... and no less than £34,000 to spare (£32,000 - for the final victory and £2,000 - for stopping Steven Pierce in the fourth quarterfinal). Foot won a split decision over another newly-found sensation in Dale Evans (6-1-1, 3 KOs). Scores were: 29-28 (Steve Gray and Richie Davis) - for Foot, and 28-29 (Phil Edwards) - for Evans. Foot has now 6 wins over previously undefeated fighters of his total 10 victories.
The final bout wasn't a walk in the park for 25-year old Foot. His Welsh opponent, 21, was a serious danger with a blend of youth and considerable punching power. Sensing the perils of an open war, Foot chose to start cautiously, and Evans did the same. Both fighters provided fans with a tactical, timid first round. It looked like Foot was a bit better but it was close. The second round turned to be a see-saw period of activity. Foot looked much better during the first and the third minutes, but Evans produced a shocking combination of several hard head blows to pin Foot to the ropes during the second minute of the stanza. That was up to judges to define who was a better man of the two during this period.
Finally, in the third, both fighters tried their best to put a final mark to the contest. Evans, almost immediately, connected with a pair of telling right hands but then Foot answered with a huge attack and a left hook of his own. However, the end of the fight was in favour of Evans, who stunned Foot badly with a well-placed left hook to the liver. Foot was able to survive the damage.
In a featured bout on the Prizefighter card, rising bantamweight star Khalid 'Kal' Yafai (7-0, 6 KOs) got his first ever win over a fighter from the New World, as he bombed away on rugged Mexican Gonzalo Garcia (8-7-2, 4 KOs) and compelled Garcia to surrender on his stool during the break between the fourth and the fifth rounds due to 'severe exhaustion'.
Yafai was in full control of the fight. The former stellar amateur, who wasn't on the British Olympic squad for 2012 London Olympics, was way faster than the Mexican, forcing him to miss every now and then. Garcia tried to engage Yafai into a brawl but this brawl was too one-sided and not in his favour. Kal was in and out, throwing multiple combinations and forcing Garcia to retreat all the time.
If anything, Chad Gaynor (10-1, 5 KOs) has only himself to blame for his unanimous decision loss to determined Glenn Foot (9-0, 5 KOs), who joined Dale Evans in the final of this Prizefighter series. Scores were: 29-28, 30-28 and 30-27 - for Foot.
Gaynor started too slow, allowing his wily opponent to jump right on him from the starting bell. Foot missed a majority of his blows, but those, which landed, did enough damage and shook Gaynor up. Gaynor started to return the fire in the second stanza. His massive right hand almost put Foot down. However, the latter just couldn't miss with his right hand, tagging Gaynor again and again. The last round was also very close, with neither fighter getting the better of his opponent. Gaynor did a nice body of defensive work but Foot overwhelmed him with the punch output and the bulldog's determination. So that the crucial round was the opening one, which was clearly in Foot's favour.
Forced to dig very deep, 21-year old Dale Evans (6-0-1, 3 KOs) survived the perils of the last round of his semi-final against experienced Mark Thompson, ten years his senior, to capture a unanimous decision with three identical cards read as 29-28 - in his favour. BoxingScene had a draw - 29-29 - in what really was an almost even fight.
Evans, however, didn't produce the fight of his life, and the main reason of his success was strange inactivity of Thompson in the first couple of stanzas. The Welshman was aggressive from the get-go, and Thompson, who had two and a half times more knockouts than Evans had fights, let him do some bombing, being too lazy to counter his younger foe consistently. Evans took an advantage of this lucky chance to win the first. In the second round, Thompson didn't try hard as well, losing it as well - thanks to cracking body shots of Evans. Sensing the danger of losing the bout, Thompson turned an aggressor in the third and last stanza. He landed several very telling blows, specifically his right hand to almost put the Welshman down. However, Evans survived the nasty storm and got a deserved win. Thompson falls down to 25-3, with 15 KOs.
Disparity in the power department was clearly seen in the last quartefinal between previously undefeated Glenn Foot and Steven Pierce. The latter's overall record of opposition was pitiful 26-330-7, while Foot had wins over two unbeaten boxers and also over James Flynn, a locally notable light middleweight. The outcome was clearly seen from the very beginning, and no one was really surprised, when Pierce got stopped at 1:43 of the second round.
The first stanza was in Foot's favour but Pierce tried everything to put his for into deep waters. Foot was aggressive at times but for the most of the round looked to counter The Fierce Pierce. Early into the second, Pierce went in, and Foor, while fighting off the ropes, landed a right hook over Pierce's guard, which has seemingly landed on the back of his head. Pierce went down and was clearly dazed. Foot engaged him into a brawl and methodically broke him down. Pierce was stopped as he was trying to unload but was eating to much punishment at the same time. Foot is now 8-0, 5 KOs, while Pierce suffers his first career loss and down to 6-1, with a single kayo.
Unbeatens Chad Gaynor and Calum Cooper kicked off the third quarterfinal from the point, where it had been stopped in the previous fight. Combatants engaged into a memorable war, heating the already boiling crowd even more, but it lasted less than a round as powers were too uneven for one of the fighters to survive the massacre. On the side note, the fight (whilst it lasted) was truly great, as both fighters didn't hesitate to throw their defense into the window for a better pain-serving.
Gaynor was, however, much more controlled with his seemingly uncontrolled aggression. He started the beating with a huge right hand to put Cooper to the ropes. Calum tried to answer every punch with a blow of his own, but Gaynor was tight with his guard as he was vicious with his punches. In a two-way brawl, he started to break Cooper down during the second minute of the round and put his foe into survival mode during the third minute of the stanza. Referee Mark Green waited as much as the British referee can wait, giving Cooper every possible chance, but was finally forced to intervene at 2:40 of the round. Chad Gaynor is now 10-0, with 5 KOs, and into the semifinals. Cooper falls down to 4-1.
Local fans certainly got their monies worth during the second quarterfinal, which turned into a barnburner of sorts. Welshman Dale Evans (5-0-1, 3 KOs) came out as the winner with a unanimous decision, but Sam Eggington (3-1) has also raised his stock in a valiant loss despite losing his unblemished record.
Eggington, 19, supported by the partizan crowd, immediately went after Evans, and the latter answered the challenge to produce an early candidate for the round of the year. Fists were flying and girls were crying as two warriors clashed against each other. Evans, 21, stunned Eggington, not a ver crude puncher, with a three-punch combo to start the fire. Eggington answered with huge left hooks and uppercuts to even things up, and then the bout became more and more of a wild brawl. Taking the end of the first, Evans paved the way for his future success. However, Eggington came back strong in the second to possibly snatch this round on the judges' scorecards. The third stanza was in favour of Evans, 21, the more experienced battler of the two, who continuously found Eggington's jaw with crispy right hands.
All three judges had it for Dale Evans: 30-27 and 29-28 (twice). The latter score is in agreement with the BoxingScene's ledger. Regardless of the actual winner, fans should be delighted with a fisticuffs act like that.
In the first quarterfinal of the next Prizefighter series (this time fought at the welterweight limit), Mark Thompson (25-2, 15 KOs) came back from his one-sided loss to Jack Culcay-Keth to stop Rob Hunt (17-2-2, 1 KOs) in the third round of their fight. Ironically, two most experienced contestants of this Prizefighter series collided in what is deemed by many to be a preliminary final of the tourney.
Thompson started very aggressively, stalking Hunt around the ring in the first. Thompson wasn't particularly sharp with his blows, but activity was his advantage. Hunt, on the other hand, did little to ensure the judges he has something to oppose to his foe. The latter took the second with his hard left hooks and overall punch output as well. And early into the third stanza, an accidental headbutt forced a bad cut over Hunt's right eye, putting a halt to the fight after the physician's advice in the corner. Time of stoppage was 0:29. Thompson was damaged by the headbutt as well.

Do you ever find yourself so nervous to approach an attractive man that it actually stops you from taking the action you truly desire?

Tag: condos for sale
• There were 17 residential closings in Charleston inside the Crosstown in January, 2010, versus 14 in January 2009.
• In January, 2010 sales were $11.8 million versus $16.8 million last year.
• The price of the average residential sale in January was $693,788 versus $1,199,318 last year.
• In January, 2010 4 of the 17 sales were for over $1 million; a year ago 7 of the 14 sales were for over $1 million.
Clearly this market is stronger than the US real estate market in general. This is a still a good time to buy real estate. There is a good level of inventory, sellers are motivated, and interest rates are still low. And there is more:
Forbes magazine named Charleston as the eighth smartest city in the WORLD.
Charleston is one of five cities on Moody’s list of real estate markets most likely to rebound in 2010.
South Carolina is ranked number 7 among the top entrepreneur-friendly states by the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council.

What you should know about the shimmering, refined sound of Meinl HCS Bronze cymbals
You see it and can't walk away. Just admiring your glorious drum and cymbal setup can trigger your imagination, and you have to play now. Of course, the right set of shiny bronze cymbals plays a huge part in crafting the perfect drum kit for moments of inspiration. Would the right set in your mind refer to musicality, modern sound, durability, great feel, or variety with good looks?
Turns out, you can have it all AND at a great value.
The enticing glow of Meinl HCS Bronze cymbals comes from B8 bronze. "B8" stands for the mix of metals used in the cymbal making process, which in this case is 92% copper, 8% tin. Okay, we know you're not here for a materials lesson (ugh, percentages), and we realize it's not ALL about looks. So what does this B8 business have to do with sound?
B8 bronze = bright, clear, uniform, refined and articulate cymbal sounds.
Why are they great for beginner and intermediate players?
You will get an instant, clear response that is not clouded with complex sounding tones, which is great for listening to yourself to make sure all of your notes are even and on the beat.
The hihats give you that crisp "chick" sound, the crashes deliver a powerful punch and the rides respond with a cutting "ping".
We didn't stop at the standard hihat, crash, ride and splash selection
Huge effects cymbals assortment
While HCS Bronze standard crashes, splashes and chinas deliver a great mix of sound, you can unlock the world of trashiness with trash crashes, trash splashes and trash chinas.
These "effects cymbals" are stamped with hole cut-outs that dry the cymbal sound, which means they reduce sustain while adding an earthy bite (aka, "trashiness"). Perfect as stand-alone cymbals or stack them directly on top of or underneath another cymbal for a sloshy, trashy effect.
We have an array of hihats for you to choose from within HCS Bronze. Due for special mention are Soundwave Hihats that feature a waved edge on the bottom cymbal.
The waved design allows for air to escape from between the cymbals as you play them, which gives you a super crisp "chick" sound.
Specially weighted rides
Rides and crash-rides fill out the time keeper cymbals, and they range from 18" - 22".
Specially weighted rides including Heavy and Medium Heavy give you the option of adding a ride to your kit that can cut through any mix of sound.
Their "ping" response is unmatched, while the bell of the cymbal is loud and clear.
Three pre-configured sets are available too: A Basic Cymbal Set, a Complete Cymbal Set, and an Expanded Cymbal Set providing the main cymbal elements used for a drum set configuration at an exceptional value.
basic Cymbal Set
14“ Hihat, 18“ Crash-Ride

Below you can find an overview of our collection of Divi Modules. All modules are well designed, easy to use and integrate right into the Divi Builder to give you the ability to build great looking websites. Whether they extend the functionality and improve the usage of familiar Divi modules or add completely new ways to present your content, you will love to use them.
Before After Slider
Before After Slider for Divi lets you compare two images by dragging a slider either horizontally or vertically to hide or reveal one image over another. There are many use cases e. g. show off your makeup or photo editing skills, showcase the differences between your products and cheap counterfeit or what you have done to improve your clients website.
Counter for Divi is a replacement for both, the Number Counter module and the Circle Counter module. It not only combines both counters into one powerful module but also adds tons of functionality the standard modules are missing. For example:
- Count numbers, dates and posts
- Custom pre– and suffix
- Count from any number to another number
- Display decimal places
- Create pie charts
- Fully customizable and styleable
Panorama for Divi
Panorama for Divi lets you display large images without scaling or cropping them. Instead you can horizontally or vertically scroll them by dragging the image in the given direction. If you use panorama images, you can even create infinite scrollable images, giving you a 360 degree view.

Two leases totaling 8,250 square feet, include Salon.com, were inked at 260 W. 36th Street, leaving the 17-story tower 96% leased, the Commercial Observer has learned.
Salon Media, the parent company of left-leaning news site salon.com, signed for 4,000 square feet in a shift that moves the online behemoth from yet another Garment Center asset, 15 W. 37th Street. At the same time, Wear Abouts Apparel, a fitting tenant for the district, signed for 4,250 square feet and moved from another nearby building at 225 W. 35th Street.
Ryan Magner of Tarter Stats O’Toole, who represented the owner in both transactions with Catherine O’Toole, also of Tarter Stats, said much of the building’s charm is due to its high ceilings and cast iron columns.
“It’s like a Soho building in the middle of the Garment center,” said Mr. Magner. Other amenities include a doorman, large capacity elevators and 24/7 access. The asking rent was in the area of $30 per square foot, Mr. Magner said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is increasing the number of Texas Highway Patrol troopers on the road through Monday, July 5, as part of Operation CARE (Crash Awareness Reduction and Effort) and Operation Holiday.
DPS troopers will be on the roads looking for drivers who are speeding, driving while intoxicated or not their wearing seat belts.
“Celebrating the Fourth of July and our nation’s freedom is a joyous time, but we must take our responsibilities on the road seriously,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “Please remember to drive carefully and obey all traffic laws to ensure everyone can enjoy the holiday.”
Operation Holiday will run this weekend and targets drivers who violate traffic laws. During the 2020 campaign, there were 39,913 citations and warnings. This includes 15,821 warnings and citations for speeding, as well as more than 1,100 warnings and citations for seat belt and child safety restraint violations. DPS enforcement efforts also included 308 driving while intoxicated citations, 453 felony arrests and 101 fugitive arrests.
Operation CARE began July 2 through July 5 and focuses on reducing crashes and violations of the state’s “Move Over, Slow Down” law.
From Jan. 1 through June 18, there were 7,036 “Move Over, Slow Down” violations. The law requires drivers to slow down when vehicles — including police, fi re, EMS, TxDOT vehicles and tow trucks — are stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights activated.

Wiwille's movie reviews part 87
Hudson Hawk never really got better or worse with age. I saw it in the theatre many years ago with my then girlfriend. We both didn't care for it, but almost twenty years later I thought I may not have given it a chance, or perhaps I didn't appreciate it for whatever reason. I was wrong, so very wrong.
The movie starts Bruce Willis, who plays a cat burglar, conveniently named Hudson Hawk, who was recently released from prison. He gets blackmailed into stealing a statue made by Leonardo DaVinci, but what the incompetent crime bosses, let by none other than Frank Stallone, has on him makes really no sense, but that's ok. The idea is to get a few crystal looking items to fuel a lead-to-gold machine designed by no other than Leonardo himself. We are also introduced to Hawk's partner in crime, Danny Aiello, who sings and dances along with Bruce as do what they do.
Andie McDowell plays a Vatican agent who wants to keep the secret of Leonardo's gold machine out of the hands of corrupt humans, and has the acting chops of all the films you've seen her in before. Oh and Sandra Bernhard and some guy (I lost all interest in knowing his name) conspire to get the machine and the crystal looking things, flood the market with gold, crash worldwide exchanges, and have the world will then bow to them and their vast resources. Oh and to help them get these crystals, they hire a bunch of ex-CIA agents with candy bars as code names, let by none other than James Coburn.
This plot makes no sense, but tries to have a sense of humor about itself, while only telling one mildly funny joke. The rest of their attempts at comedy falls horribly flat, and are just as dull and incompetent as the rest of the script. The plot transitions are as equally confusing, are supposed to be amusing, but will leave on scratching their head.
If they made this funny they would've had a great parody on their hands, but sadly none of this works. It's just lazy, stupid, and has little redeeming value. Hudson Hawk didn't age well in all these years, actually it didn't age at all. It's still as horrifyingly bad as the last time I saw it, so many years ago. At least it's consistent in it's awfulness.
Thanks to Shaun for submitting this. Wanna see a film reviewed by Wiwille? Drop me an email or comment and you'll see it soon on One Bad Apple. Rules are posted here.
"To say this megamillion Bruce Willis vehicle doesn't fly is understatement in the extreme." - Joe Brown

Video from the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursvile, NY.
April, the giraffe, is giving birth to her fourth calf. April is 15 years old.
The calf will weigh around 150 pounds and be about six feet tall at birth. Giraffe pregnancies last about 15 months.
The Animal Adventure Park posted to their Facebook page that the stream was suspended for "nudity & sexual content. They said "Animal Rights Extremists" were responsible.
A new live feed was created later and streaming resumed. Watch the YouTube stream here.

Way back in 2005, just a few months after starting this blog, I ran out of things to write. Ideas came in, and the first one that I considered was to actually specialized on all things bak kut teh.
That idea was of course, a little too limiting, but it was the seed that eventually spawn this humble food blog. So there you go, a little bit of background that you most likely don’t care on a Friday. 😀
Friendship Bak Kut Teh, with pork tripe soup, braised pork knuckle
Anyway, bak kut teh remains one of my favorite Malaysian Chinese food. Today, I shall introduce this particular unassuming bak kut teh stall at Cheras that was one of Haze‘s regular dinner spots.
The bak kut teh stall is situated just a stone’s throw away from the biggest intersection in Cheras. Other than bak kut teh, the friendly female owner serves up really pork tripe soup that has a pretty good kick too.
clay pot bak kut teh with enoki mushroom
The bak kut teh comes with all the usual ingredients – pork, fatty pork, liver, intestine, stomach, and like a lot of the more modern outlets – enoki mushroom too. While I can’t say that the soup is the best I’ve had, it quite decent, and I do like the extra spicy chili padi they serve.
If you eat here, make sure you order yau char kwai though. The lady source this from her ex husband and it’s really one of the best yau char kwai I’ve had with bak kut teh. Like a lot of places, you get to choose from oily or normal steamed rice.
KY and Haze, late night bak kut teh dinner
While strictly speaking, this isn’t the best tasting bak kut teh, I do love going there for it’s ambiance and the warm and fuzzy feeling the owner always exude. The pork tripe soup and of course, the yau char kwai give more than good enough reasons to visit there too. (have yet to try the braised pork knuckle yet).
Friendship bak kut teh is open from evening till about 1am.

As part of an occasional series highlighting notable articles from the archives of The Review of Religions, we are pleased to present the following piece, originally published in 2004 in response to an op-ed written in The Washington Post on May 31, 2004, by then-President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf. In that piece, Musharraf argued that Muslims must practice “enlightened moderation.” The article below responds by asking Musharraf and others to truly examine the factors that have prevented Pakistan from achieving this state of moderation.
All of us feel great pain and anguish in the social and political chaos engulfing our Pakistani nation. The problem of religious extremism has reached epic proportions. Here is a snapshot from the very recent history: A large number of Shias gunned down in broad daylight, at least two serious attempts on the President’s life, shootings and bombings in different places of worship, killings of minorities and foreigners on a regular basis, a serious attempt on the Prime Minister’s life and now an armed revolt against the Pakistani army in the frontier. These are not isolated incidents, or incidents which only affect a particular region of the country. The insanity is being perpetrated everywhere and affects everyone in Pakistan. The result is that the educated and progressive minds left in Pakistan feel hostage to the mullahs and their extremist machinery, while those outside Pakistan are afraid to come back and invest, teach, visit or even play cricket. In fact many religious organisations in Pakistan have implicitly or openly declared a militant “war” against the incumbent president and his law enforcement agencies including the army. One shudders to think what would happen in the near future to Pakistan if this trajectory of religious extremism continues. This is not the way Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s1 Pakistan was supposed to be. How did the very religious elements that hated Jinnah, called him Kaafir-e-Azam (“the great infidel”), resisted the creation of Pakistan, and even tried to murder Jinnah, actually become the dominant political force in Pakistan? The answer lies in the gradual process of decay with everyone from Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Zia-ul-Haq and the military, to US and Saudi Arabia providing support to these extremist elements at different points in time. The support was provided under differing rationales: some were tempted by short term political advantage, others were driven by twisted ideologies, and yet others succumbed to the fear of social unrest threatened by the mullah.
However, whatever the causes, the fact is that today we are dangling at the precipice of social and political disaster as a nation. General Musharraf is correct in pointing out that the biggest threat facing Pakistan today is from within and not from the outside. This internal threat is the threat of religious extremism and intolerance. It is the threat of a self-righteous and arrogant mullah who roams the streets of Pakistan thinking he is above the law of the land. He believes that he has divine authority to murder, plunder and destroy with impunity.
In a recent book, A to Z of Jihadi Organizations in Pakistan, Muhammad Amir Rana superbly traces the history, organisational setup and ideologies of 237 religious organisations spanning all the major sects in Pakistan, including Deobandi, Barelvi, Ahle Hadith and Shia. According to the book, each sect has a number of different organisations designed to achieve separate objectives. For example, the Deobandi sect of the Hanafi school of thought has a total of 45 religious organisations in Pakistan. Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s JUI (Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam) is the main political party of this sect and organisations such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Jaish-e-Muhammad, Harkatu Mujahideen and Sipah-e-Sihaba serve as its militant wings. These organisations often have close associations with one other. Commenting on the organisations from the Deobandi school of thought, for example, Muhammad Amir Rana writes: “Important position holders of Sipah Sahaba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Tehreeke Khuddame Ahle Sunnat, Tehreeke Difa Sahaba and other similar organisations have at the same time held important offices in Jamiat-e-Islam, and sectarian organisations of the Deobandi school consider the Jamiat their mentors and attend their rallies and functions.”
The close relationship between religion, politics and militancy is not exclusive to any particular sect. As pointed out in the book, this pattern is repeated in all the major Sunni and Shia sects in the country. Use of force and militancy is sanctioned and promoted by a majority of the clergy. The definition of Jihad has now expanded to include the killing of minorities, opposing politicians, religious leaders and now the army as well. Moreover, the distorted definition of Jihad is now accepted if not practised by large sections of our society.
The masses, many of whom are either illiterate or not willing to study religion independently, put their trust in the multitude of clergy and scholars belonging to the religious organisations above. Therefore, when General Musharraf proclaims that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, does he have the religious scholars (of whatever sect) to back his claim? The answer is no. As the above book points out, all the major organised sects in Pakistan are actively promoting militancy and violence to further their agendas.
If Islam were to be defined by the majority religious scholars of Pakistan then it does become a religion of militancy and violence. It becomes a religion that frowns upon differences of opinion and suppresses another person’s religious freedom by force if necessary. It becomes a religion that allows vandalising shops, setting vehicles on fire and carrying out threatening processions to pressure governments into acceding to its demands. In short, Islam as presented and practised by the publicly recognised scholars of Pakistan is an ugly religion.
However, true Islam is not to be defined by the clergy of today. True Islam is to be found in the teachings of the Holy Qur’an, a book that reminds its reader at least 23 times:
Create not disorder on the earth.2
A book so pluralistic in nature that far from killing innocent Christian, Jews or Hindus, it exhorts its followers to guard and respect their freedom of religion and places of worship:
And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated.3
A Hindu may reject Mosesas, Jews may reject Jesusas and Christians may reject Muhammadsa but a Muslim is told that he cannot call himself a believer if he does not believe and respect all prophets of all the great religions of the world:
And We did raise among every people a Messenger.4
Far from condemning followers of other religion to damnation, the Qur’an accepts all righteous men and women as good human beings and declares:
Surely, the Believers and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians – whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds – shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.5
When these are the teachings of the Holy Qur’an, how can such a universal and unifying religion be linked to hatred, terrorism, and violence?
General Musharraf is, therefore, correct in pointing out that true Islam is a religion of “peace and tolerance”, but the question remains, which organised religious movement in the Pakistani society is preaching this message? Where are the clerics, mosques and thinkers at the forefront of a religious movement aimed at suppressing the rising tide of religious extremism and intolerance? Who is going door to door in Peshawar, Quetta, Karachi and Jhang to convince the public that the militant version of Islam presented by the mullahs is illogical and unjustified? Are the various Jamiats, Jama’ats and Majalis (parties and organisations) created in the name of Islam presenting and practising a peaceful and tolerant version of Islam? Unfortunately no recognised religious movement in Pakistan is preaching or practising the peaceful and tolerant message of Islam.
This should not come as a huge surprise. After all, how can the same religious parties and organisations that have led Islam to be recognised with hatred and intolerance be expected to lead the Muslims towards peace and moderation? Therefore, when our leaders talk about changing the image of Islam and taking the country towards “enlightened moderation,” they should also point out which religious movement has the ability to do so.
What Pakistan needs is a rational and progressive religious movement that presents an alternative to the militant and intolerant version of Islam proliferating the country; a peaceful, tolerant and rational alternative that is, in fact, the true face of Islam.
The good news is that Pakistan does have such a reformist religious movement in the form of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. I was fortunate enough to learn about it and ultimately accept its message. However, unfortunately the same movement is persecuted, suppressed and constitutionally banned to convey its message in Pakistan. The Movement was initiated by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian, who claimed to be the reformer of latter days as prophesied by our beloved Prophet Muhammadsa. He claimed to be the reformer who was prophesied to come at a time when Muslims would have reached rock bottom and “their clergy would be the worst of creatures under the canopy of the heavens. Evil plots will hatch from them and to them will they return” (Mishkat ul Masabih). A reformer who was prophesied to come and settle the ideological differences among the divided Muslims as an “arbiter and judge” (Bukhari) and one of whose primary missions was to “put an end to wars” or “abolish jizya” (Bukhari).
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian wrote more than 80 books in total. The sole purpose of his writings was to rejuvenate, in spirit and in practice, exactly the same Islam that is contained in the Qur’an and revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa. He repeatedly asked the world and the Muslim clergy in particular, to refrain from militancy and bloodshed in the name of religion and accept the peaceful and true teachings of Islam.
However, my intention in this article is not to convince the reader of the truth of Ahmadiyyat. My goal is more modest. It is to appeal to the rational and progressive minds in Pakistan that if we are sincere in spreading “enlightened moderation” in our society, we should no longer choke the voices of moderation and tolerance with our own hands. The Holy Qur’an reminds us that,
Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts.6
And there is nothing for man but the fruits of his endeavours.7
How is it then that we can hope to achieve either “enlightenment” or “moderation” without being bold enough to change the laws of the country along the same lines?
Today the law of the land states that members of the Ahmadiyya Community must be declared non-Muslims against their will (Second Amendment, 1974). By law, Ahmadis cannot say the Kalima (the Muslim declaration of faith), Adhan (the Muslim Call to Prayer) or practise their religion openly. If they do, they are subject to imprisonment and fines (Pakistan Penal Codes 298 B & C). In fact the law is so vague that just being an Ahmadi is a criminal offence if anyone chooses to prosecute.
Thus the only organised religious movement in the country that preaches the message of peace and “love for all, hatred for none” is banned by its own government. Here lies the irony. While we tell non-Muslims that we believe in a peaceful, tolerant and enlightened version of Islam, we in Pakistan continue persecuting a peaceful religious community in our own country precisely in the name of Islam! Why blame the West then for tarnishing the image of Islam when we have done so ourselves through our own actions?
We, as Pakistanis, should show the world that true Islam has no tolerance for religious intolerance. We should show through our actions the beautiful teaching of the Qur’an that:
There should be no compulsion in religion.8
Far from allowing a government to suppress religious freedom, Islam does not even give a prophet that authority:
Thou hast not been appointed to compel them in any way.9
But if they turn away, We have not sent thee as a guardian over them. Thy duty is only to convey the Message.10
What a powerful statement of moderation it would be if we could throw out the messages of hate, suppression of religious practices and declarations of non-Muslims as the Holy Qur’an exhorts us:
And who is more unjust than he who prohibits the name of Allah being glorified in Allah’s temples and seeks to ruin them?11
Say not to anyone who greets you with the greeting of peace, ‘Thou art not a believer.’12
Today the face of Islam presented by our religious leaders defies moderation, enlightenment and objectivity.
Enlightened Moderation? Perhaps the following can be the first step towards enlightenment:
Allah commands you that …When you judge between men, you judge with justice.13
One hopes and prays that those in power may have the courage to stand for justice and repeal those laws and regulations that stifle the voices of moderation and enlightenment in our country each day.

I love a good detective story. I love courtroom drama, especially those with numerous twists and turns in the plotline, and I especially love surprise endings. I’m usually pretty good at guessing outcomes, but I relish the surprise when the author stumps me with an end I didn’t see coming.
It seems, in today’s Gospel, that Herod was doing a little “detecting” himself. “’ Who then is this about whom I hear such things?’ And he kept trying to see him.” Herod was stumped, asking everyone who this man is and hearing replies like “John has been raised from the dead,” or “Elijah has appeared.”, or “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.”
Herod knew none of that could be true. Elijah and the prophets were long gone, and Herod himself beheaded John, so who is this man who performs miracles and speaks the words that are catching people’s attention? He had a mystery on his hands.
Each day we do the same thing. We seek the one about whom we hear such things. Sometimes I think the Gospels, especially the words of Jesus, present us this mystery to unravel. What do these words mean? How do these words impact my life? Why must I – should I – listen? Can it make a difference? Like Herod, so many questions. But unlike Herod, we have answers.
In the wisdom of the Church to incorporate the Scriptures into our worship at Mass (the three- year Sunday cycle and the two- year daily cycle cover almost all of Scripture!), we have the opportunity to have Jesus’ words before us always. Part of the excellent mystery of it all is that Jesus’ words will change in meaning for each of us as we grow older and experience his teachings in light of our growing maturity and experience and, hopefully, our increasing wisdom. We listen; we see the stories come alive in our mind’s eye; we ponder; we learn and occasionally, the find a surprise ending we didn’t see coming — a change in the spiritual outlook on our lives and a clear direction as to where we should go. Whether we follow that direction every time or not will become part of the mystery. But the author of these words will continually spark our interest in searching for our ending.
Herod was looking for “this man” for all the wrong reasons. He had guilt to assuage for his deeds but wasn’t looking for forgiveness. Herod was looking to rid the world of the one who could accuse him and hold him accountable for those despicable deeds. The sad thing about Herod’s search is that, in light of his miserable life, he could not recognize nor appreciate the surprise ending – our Lords resurrection and guarantee of eternal life. Herod was much too grounded in the things of this earth.
“I am the way, and the truth and the life says the Lord.” Here’s the mystery; here is the truth sought in the mystery; the path to solving the mystery and the eternal life gained once the story comes to an end.

Nick Jonas And Pharrell In Talks To Be Next ‘American Idol’ Judges
Ever since Mariah Carey signed on to fill Jennifer Lopez‘s spot on American Idol, we’ve heard hardly any whispers about those other two judges’ seats. But now, former Disney heartthrob Nick Jonas and super-producer Pharrell Williams are in talks to become the newest judges, reports US Weekly. Fox has yet to comment on the story, but if we’re to believe the insider sources, Jonas was recently flown to L.A. for “final meetings” and Pharrell is currently negotiating his contract. We love this idea.
If it all falls into place, this is a great move to reel in a younger audience. Pharrell has been inseparable from the charts for the last decade thanks to his work with the likes of Jay-Z, Britney and JT. Plus, an entire generation of little girls grew up with The Jonas Brothers, and Nick is the youngest one at 19, so they won’t be able to resist. (As a side note, in the Battle of Reality Stars: Jonas Bros. Edition, little brother will clearly come out on top: Kevin’s Married To Jonas on E! and Joe’s stint on Fox’s The Choice can’t really compete with the biggest singing competition show in the land.)
So does this mean our pal Randy Jackson would go the way of JLo and Steven Tyler? Not quite, dog. The plan reportedly calls for Jackson to move into a “mentoring role,” which means he’d be spending a lot more time with Jimmy Iovine picking songs for the contestants. And that also means he’d still have plenty of use for the word “pitchy.”

The system is concerned with recording transactions received from external entities, as well as recording transactions created by internal, and following up referral, inquiry, and export movements for those transactions. The system also provides a set of inquiries, reports, and statistics that help in facilitating, and following up the completion of work.

Yoga in the Desert: Jan. 1
SUGGESTED HED: No competition in yoga
Our world is saturated with competition. Competition in business, in sports, in school and with ourselves. It is a hard habit to break. Despite evidence that people learn more quickly and deeply without the pressure of competition, it persists. Hand in hand with competition are the measurements of success including income, scores, grades and awards. These external metrics are used regularly by the mind to compare ourselves with others. The mental habit of comparison is hand in glove with competition.
When you enter our yoga studio, you may hear a teacher talk about No Competition. It is mindset we encourage! In our yoga practice, there is no one in the room except ourself. It may appear that there are other yogis in the studio, but really, there is just our body, our mind and our experience. Practicing yoga is a wonderful way to notice our conditioning to compare ourselves with others! Once we notice the habit of mind to compare, we can let go and come back to our individual experience in the moment and let go.
In sports, people talk about the mental game, and how winning starts in the head. In our yoga practice, letting go of the need to win also starts in the head. When we sink into our moment by moment experience of our individual body in this unique stretch, we realize that all ideas of comparison and competition can drop away. There is no where to go and nothing to achieve. Our body will inform us of exactly what is needed in each moment — more or less than we might think, but perfect in the moment.
For many people, the benefits of yoga are both the physical stretch and relaxation and the mental peace and relaxation. We think the more that we experience a drop in the need to compare and compete, we are happier!

The newest product to come from the maker of the iPhone will be a smart watch. It will connect to the iPhone to display notifications such as email and texts in addition to tell time. There will be several versions of the watch, ranging from the Sport version (expected to retail for around $349) to the Apple Watch Edition version, clad in 18K gold.
The price for the Apple Watch Edition version hasn’t been revealed yet (nor has the price for any of the versions) but some analysts are already speculating that it could be priced in the “luxury” range between $5,000 and $10,000, comparable to the price of a lower-end Rolex.
The final price will depend on how much gold is actually used in the product.
As we have covered previously, gold is commonly used in cell phone manufacturing, but what is intriguing about Apple producing a gold watch is just how much of the metal it might contain.
Some believe the Apple Watch Edition could contain as much as two troy ounces. Unless the band is also made of gold, that’s probably a bit of an over-estimate. At current prices, that would be more than $2,300 worth of the precious metal.
While that is a lot of gold and will certainly equate to a very high price point, Apple might find other obstacles when it comes to making and selling such a luxury product. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the company expects to sell as many as 1 million of the Apple Watch Edition per month in Q2 of 2015.
So if it does end up containing 2 ounces per watch, that’s going to come out to 746 metric tonnes of gold which is about 30% of all of the gold mined in the world each year.
If true, that will only mean one thing for the price of gold.

“Things got out of hand and we’d had a few drinks.
We smashed the place up and Boris set fire to the toilets.”
1. George Osborne
The 36-year-old MP for Tatton is the eldest son and heir of baronet Sir Peter Osborne, the founder of the upmarket wallpaper merchants, Osborne & Little.
His real name is Gideon but he has used his grandfather's name George since the age of 13. He says: "Life was easier as a George."
At Oxford he edited the university magazine Isis. One issue was printed on hemp paper, made of the stems of cannabis plants.
After leaving university he worked for two years as a freelance journalist before landing a job at the Conservative Research Department. He was made Shadow Chancellor at the age of 33.
He lives in a £1million house in Notting Hill with his novelist wife Frances. As well as his income as an MP, he is a beneficiary of a trust fund which owns 15 per cent of Osborne & Little's shares.
2. Harry Mount
The 35-year- old son of another baronet, Ferdinand Mount, he read Classics at Magdalen. As well as being a cousin of David Cameron, he is also related to the novelist Anthony Powell. After working as a banker, he trained to be a lawyer at the age of 27. He then wrote a book on his two years as a pupil barrister, My Brief Career, as well as a book on Latin, Amo Amas Amat and all that - How to become a Latin lover, for which he recently received a £130,000 advance for the U.S. rights. Formerly the New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, he is currently a feature writer for the Daily Mail.
3. Chris Coleridge
A descendant of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the brother of Conde Nast managing director Nicholas Coleridge, and son of Lloyds of London-boss David Coleridge. Studied History at Exeter College.
With Nat Rothschild, he launched a racy publication student newspaper called Rumpus while at university which featured a topless model, a "Page 7 fella" and a guide on how to steal cars, which was frowned on by the local police.
Also featuring on the astrology page of Rumpus, wearing a wizard's costume, was George Osborne. In 2005 Coleridge, 36, founded a company called V Water which sells vitamin-infused water and now has a £1.2million turnover.
4. Lupus von Maltzahn
Schooled in Germany, he is now a management consultant for Accenture. A relative of the wealthy private banker Bruno Schroder.
5. Mark Petre
Son of the 18th Baron Petre, part of an aristocratic family who made their fortune during the dissolution of the monasteries. After Oxford he became the editor of a glossy magazine, International Homes.
In 2004 he was found dead at his family's stately home, Ingatestone Hall in Essex, while awaiting trial for driving under the influence of drugs after his Mercedes collided with a BMW. The sedative Temazepam was in his bloodstream "in excess of the therapeutic dose".
6. Peter Holmes a Court
Educated in Australia, then studied law at Oxford. He was 21 when his billionaire businessman father, Robert Holmes a Court, died in 1990 of a heart attack, aged 53.
After leaving university, as well as heading his father's investment firm, he launched a theatrical company, Back Row Productions, in London. His family's theatre group, Stoll Moss Productions, was sold to Andrew Lloyd Webber in 2001 for £87million.
Jointly owns the Australian rugby team South Sydney Rabbitohs with his close friend, Gladiator star Russell Crowe.
7. Nat Rothschild
Rothschild, 35, is in line to be the fifth Baron Rothschild.
After Eton, where contemporaries remember him as an unruly and wayward student, he studied history at Wadham College.
For many years, it was feared that Nat would self-destruct, like many other young Rothschilds in the dynasty.
In 1996, Nat's cousin Amschel hanged himself at the age of 41, while another cousin, Raphael de Rothschild, died in New York from a heroin overdose aged 23.
Now Nat has turned his life around, and is tipped to become the richest ever Rothschild. He is the heir to a £750million fortune and has made a second fortune in his own right by running the Atticus hedge fund, which manages funds worth £11billion.
Although discreet in his business deals, privately he lives the life one would associate with a Rothschild. His best friend is Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, and he is currently rumoured to be dating the young film actress Natalie Portman.
A skilled skier, his main home is in Klosters, Switzerland. He travels between his other homes in Paris, Moscow, London, New York and Greece in his Gulfstream private jet.
8. Jason Gissing
Aged 36, he is one of the three founders of Ocado, the online grocery firm which delivers for Waitrose and now has a £300million turnover.

Date: Mon, 08 Nov 1999 17:31:31 -0600
Author: Gary Karshner
Subject: Re: Sunset demo
I use 20 ml of saturate sodium thiosulfate solution per liter of water in
the tank. To start the reaction I add about 12 ml of hydrochloric acid per
liter of water in the tank. These concentrations make the experiment run
fairly slowly so the instructor has time to talk about what is happening.
Make sure that there is no acid in the tank before adding the thiosulfate.
With the more advanced students I handout polaroids to show that the light
coming out the sides is polarized. Too concentrated a solution or two much
acid makes the reaction go faster and to weak a concentration means the sun
will not set. I have only had one failure with is setup, when I didn't
watch the concentrations of solutions.
I hope this helps.

Lisica, Cindy (2010) Beyond Consumption: the art and merchandise of a superflat generation. PhD thesis, University of the Arts London.
|Type of Research:||Thesis|
This thesis investigates the impact of Superflat theory and practice of the artist and curator, Takashi Murakami. The thesis aims to analyse how contemporary transnational artistic activity functions via the work of Murakami and Superflat artists, including Chiho Aoshima and Aya Takano. From the blockbuster group exhibition, Super Flat, curated by Murakami, which debuted in the United States in 2001 at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, to the 2007-2009 ©MURAKAMI retrospective traveling from Los Angeles to Brooklyn then Frankfurt to Bilbao, the synthesis of ideas is showing the way to unprecedented directions in contemporary art. This investigation also links Murakami’s work to that of American Pop artists Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons and explores how Superflat art functions within and contributes to the already distorted area between parallel structures, such as high and low, fine art and commercial production, or East and West.
When peeling back the layers of Superflat, there is a rich, beautiful and violent history. Recognising the fusion of tradition and technology, my research explores how Superflat artists are achieving international success by engaging in multiple outlets of creative expression and collaboration in the continuing context of globalisation and a consumer-driven art market. Images of anxiety and destruction are disguised as playful and marketable characters, and three-dimensional animation figures become cultural icons. Superflat explores the simulated, sensuous, colourful and obsessive “realities” that we inhabit on a global scale and captures a twenty-first century aesthetic. With reference to the representation of violence and disaster in art and popular culture, contemporary Japan’s construction of national identity and the postwar “Americanization” of Japan, this thesis examines how the layering of ideas via cross-cultural exchange produces a new form of hybrid and hyper Pop art.

If you’re looking to add a touch of effortless cool to your hairstyle, it’s time to consider the trendy and versatile shag haircut. At Abingdon Hair Salon, our team of skilled Abingdon hairdressers is well-versed in creating stunning shag haircuts that exude an air of laid-back sophistication. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the allure of shag haircuts, why they have become a popular choice among fashion-forward individuals, and how our Abingdon hair salon can help you achieve the perfect shaggy look. Get ready to embrace your inner rock ‘n’ roll vibe and discover the magic of shag haircuts.
What is the Money Piece?
Effortless Texture: One of the defining characteristics of shag haircuts is their effortless texture. The layers and choppy ends create a natural-looking, lived-in style that requires minimal effort to maintain. Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, our Abingdon hairdressers will expertly tailor the cut to suit your unique hair type and texture, resulting in a shaggy hairstyle that embraces your natural beauty.
Versatility in Length: Shag haircuts come in various lengths, allowing you to find the perfect balance between edgy and chic. From short and playful shags to longer, shoulder-length styles, there’s a shag haircut for everyone. Our experienced Abingdon hairdressers will help you select the ideal length that complements your face shape and suits your personal style.
Face-Framing Layers: One of the standout features of shag haircuts is the face-framing layers that add depth and dimension to your look. These layers draw attention to your facial features, highlighting your eyes, cheekbones, and jawline. Our talented Abingdon hairdressers will strategically incorporate layers to flatter your face shape and accentuate your best features.
Effortless Styling: Styling a shag haircut is a breeze. The inherent texture and layering allow for a range of styling options. Embrace your natural waves or enhance them with texturizing products for a tousled, beachy look. If you prefer a sleeker style, a quick blow-dry with a round brush can transform your shag into a polished and sophisticated hairstyle. Our Abingdon hairdressers will provide you with styling tips and product recommendations to help you achieve the desired effect effortlessly.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Attitude: Shag haircuts have long been associated with a rebellious, rock ‘n’ roll vibe. By opting for a shaggy style, you’re embracing a sense of nonchalant coolness and attitude. Whether you’re heading to a music festival or a casual night out, a shag haircut will effortlessly elevate your look and give you that enviable “woke up like this” appeal.

Home in North Plainfield fetches $317K
A North Plainfield house dating to 1924 has sold for $317,000. The property at 220 N. Jackson Ave. was acquired in December 2019. The purchase price represents a price per square foot of $163, which is above the North Plainfield median of $140. Price per square foot is often used to compare differently sized homes, but it does not account for other aspects that factor into a home's price.
These nearby houses have also recently changed hands:
- A 1,329-square-foot home at 232 N. Jackson Ave. sold in August 2019 for $305,000, a price per square foot of $229.
- A 1,536-square-foot home at 254 Oneida Place sold in August 2019 for $158,000, a price per square foot of $103.

I am shocked I got this far
Other than the one remaining converted CSM squad with Meltaguns, this is all of my Crimson Slaughter Warband now primed. I've used Army Painter Dragon Red Primer.
This is the Warband as it stands:

Cultists w/Autoguns x20
I am a bit annoyed... I seem to have lost a Cultist... One of the Melee Cultists...
Now, I just need to figure out a way to convert the many Chosen I have left over into Havocs... hmmm.....

The First Reformed
By Capt. Franklin Ellis372
Many of the early settlers of the town were members of the Reformed Dutch church of Claverack and Kinderhook, chiefly of the former. Some time before the Revolution these were animated by a desire to possess the privileges of religious worship in their own locality. But it was found difficult to harmonize upon a site for the proposed building, and, accordingly, two houses were begun. One was located on the old road leading to west Ghent, a short distance west from the Waltermire school-house, its chief promoters being the Kittles and the Philips. The other was in the Squampamock flats, in the Hogeboom neighborhood, on the southeast corner of the present Union cemetery. This having been the more vigorously pushed to completion, work on the first was suspended. It was never finished. The frame stood many years, and was finally taken down to prevent its falling. As near as can be determined, both houses were begun in 1774, and, the completed one being ready for occupancy in the spring of 1775, a meeting for the formation of a church was appointed for March 28 of that year.
The church of Claverack at that time (and indeed from 1770) was without a pastor. Rev. Gerhard Daniel Cock, settled over the churches at Germantown and Rhinebeck, seems, more frequently than any other minister, to have supplied their pulpit. He it was who came out to Squampamock and officiated at the dedication of the new church, and installed the first consistory. The season of 1775 was a remarkably early one, and we can conceive that already, the last of March, the snows of winter were gone, the scattered fields of wheat and grass were already looking green, and the extended forests beginning to give promise of return spring. The 28th of March that year fell, we find, on Tuesday, so that we can conceive Dominie Cock officiating at Claverack on Sunday, and coming on Monday from thence to the house of the chief promoter of the new enterprise, Mr. Lawrence Hogeboom, residing in a stone house near the site of the present residence of Hon. J. T. Hogeboom. In coming thither the dominie doubtless rode, as was universal with the ministry in those days, on horseback, and followed the road that yet winds through the beautiful valley of the Squampamock. But then, instead of the carefully-tilled fields, substantial homesteads, and fruitful orchards that now exist, the most of the land was yet primeval forest, with only occasional clearings about the humble cabins in which the most of the earlier settlers were content to dwell. The stone house of Johannes Hogeboom (father of Lawrence) seems to have been quite a mansion for its day, since, as early as 1760, it gave name to the community.
But we must pass from the early settlers to the church which was to be planted in the midst of them. On Tuesday, March 28, in the presence of Dominie Cock and the consistory of the church of Claverack, the new church was organized. Articles were drawn up regulating the relationship of the churches of Claverack and Squampamock, which were agreed to by Johannes Holsapple, Wilhelm V. Aolsteen, Johan Adam Schmit, and Richard Ysselsteen, elders, and Matthew Hollenbeck, Jonas Schenkel, and Jermias Johannes Muller, deacons, of the church of Claverack, and Zecharias Kernreich, Lawrence Hogeboom, Johannes Hogeboom, Jr., and Johannes Moedt, representing the new congregation. On the same day a consistory was chosen, viz.: Elders, Zecharias Kernreich and Lawrence Hogeboom; Deacons, Omphrij Moor, Johannes Hogeboom, Jr. The following were the church members: Lawrence Hogeboom and his wife Hester Leggett, Johannes Hogeboom, Jr., Omphrij Moor, Zecharias Kernreich and his wife Cornelia Schutt. Service was held for the first time on Wednesday, March 29, when Dominie Cock installed the consistory and preached from the text, Rev. iii. 18: "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see."
We can easily imagine that the little church was well filled on that day, and that from miles around the people came on foot and in wagons and on horse back to participate in the services. A few among us yet remember the primitive building. A frame structure, clapboarded and unpainted, sufficiently large for the somewhat sparsely-settled country. The interior was fitted up with high old-fashioned pews, a lofty gallery on three sides, and a wine-glass pulpit reached by a winding flight of steps, and overhung by the inevitable sounding-board, in this case suspended from the rafters by ropes attached to its four corners. At this first church service three children were baptized, viz., Mary Harton, Maria Keller, and Abraham Shutt, whose parents were respectively Meikel Harton and Elizabeth Ysselsteen, Adam Keller and Maria Muller, Abraham Shutt and Lena Rossman. The sponsors were for the first, Albert Pawling and Maria Ysselsteen; for the second, Conrad Reh and Maria Schmit, his wife; and for the third, Jacobus Hogeboom and Catherine Hogeboom. Thus was the Low Dutch Reformed church of Squampamock inaugurated. Its career was not destined to be one of very great prosperity, but it maintained an existence for nearly forty years, and was an important preparation for the church that was to come after it, and which endures to the present. The records of this first organization, though kept in Dutch and not very intelligible to those who are Dutch by descent and who have forgotten their fathers' language, are of great interest as giving some idea of our community a hundred years ago. The book itself, bound as it is in vellum and of paper, which in its water-marks bears the evidence that it antedates the Revolution, having woven in its texture the crown, with the initials G. R. under it, besides a seal, in which the lion rampant of England is a chief feature, is to the antiquarian of great interest.
The title-page reads as follows: "Allgemeen Kerkenbock, Der Nederduitschen, Gereformeerden Gemeente Jesu Christi op Squampamuck, begonnen. Anno. 1775, von 28 Maerch. 'Laet alle Dingen Eerlyck Ende met Orden Geschieden.' 1 Cor. 14: 40.
"Von 29th dito is de Eerste Kerkenraedt bevestigt Docr. Dom. Gerhard Daniel Cock en de Erste predicatie in de Nieuwe Kerk Gedaen ober de woorden Apoc. 3: 18."
This book contains the Doop Register, list of baptisms; Register of Ledemater, or communicants; Kerkenraedt's Acten, or acts of the consistory. Of these latter the first entry recounts what was done March 28, and records the articles of agreement between the consistories of Claverack and Squampamock. The next entry is a call made upon the Rev. Dom. Johannes Gabriel Gebhard, in which it is stipulated that he shall preach once every two months and administer the sacrament in the church of Squampamock, in return for which the consistory promise yearly and every year to pay him the sum of £20 New York money. This call was made on him Oct. 17, 1772, and signed by Lawrence Hogeboom, elder, and Johannes Hogeboom, deacon.
During the seven years that elapsed from the formation of the church until the calling of Dominie Gebhard, there were occasional services by such ministers as could be secured. The church did not prosper, but managed to preserve an existence through the trying times of the Revolution. After this event it did not receive proper encouragement from the churches of Claverack and Kinderhook, nor cordial support from the members in the western part of the town, ,and for the next thirty years barely retained its organization.
Children were baptized in 1777 (Feb. 27), 1779 (July 19), 1781 (Jan. 24 and Dec. 9), where we meet in the record the names of Adam and Heinrich Raed, Bartholomew, John, and Abraham Hogeboom, Geisbert and John Sharp, Wendel Ham, David Sager, Paulus Moon, Anthony Melius, Michael and Cornelius Muller, William Holsapple, Barent and Jacob Wager, Latham Lamphear, and others, as Wood, Cerder, Jackson, Conner, Whoms, and McKarty, and wives, with patronymics of Herder, Maul, Sheffer, Vinzon, Eggelston, Stahl, Dittmore, and Scott. In 1782 Dominie Gebhard began stated services once in two months, and during their continuance the church enjoyed a fair measure of growth. Forty persons were added to the membership in the ensuing seven years, twenty-eight of whom were on confession of their faith. Exactly when and why the arrangement with Dominie Gebhard was terminated I am unable to state. It would seem to have been about 1790.
In looking over the names of the early church members, of names that yet continue among us, we find Hogebooms, Millers, Herders, Kuns, Gerners, Zufelds, Schermerhorns, Van Dusens, Diedricks, Sharps, Shaffers, and Lants. Subsequent to 1790, while services were not perhaps as regular, and with no stated supply, yet they were continued with tolerable frequency up to 1801, and occasionally on to 1816. The record of baptisms contains the names of over three hundred children baptized. The last entries are John, Tobias, and Franklin, sons of Tobias L. and Eliza Hogeboom, and Jacob, son of James W. and Rebecca Peterson,--the first in 1809; of the latter two, one in 1816 and the other in 1818. In looking over this list, among many names now unknown in our community beyond those already mentioned, the following have representatives yet abiding among us: Stopelbeen, Jones, Grod, Hoffman, Rifenberger, Rossman, Moet, Gaul, Martin, Decker, Van Valkenburgh, Ostrander, Mesick, DeGraff, Pulver, Deo, Hess, Bauman, Van Dassel, Gardinier, Hoes, Van Ness, Leggett, and Traver.
In 1801 the church, having stood for over a quarter of a century, was in need of repairs, and the membership and congregation were yet small and weak. It was little more than a preaching station of Claverack, and offered few inducements for persons who could attend at Claverack or Kinderhook to identify themselves with it. The building was rapidly falling into decay, and the congregation felt either unable or disinclined to make the needful repairs. At this juncture the Hogebooms, on behalf of the church, arranged with the Lutheran congregation, then organizing, that if they would put the house in repair they should, by such process, acquire a half-interest in the building. An agreement to this effect was drawn up and signed, the repairs duly made, and thus began a fraternal copartnership, a practical illustration of Christian fellowship, destined to continue not only during the further fifteen years' occupancy of the old edifice, but to be perpetuated in the building of a new one.
This edifice was erected by the two societies in 1816, and was consecrated in the spring of 1817. It was an attractively proportioned frame building, forty-five by fifty-five feet, with a shapely spire, surmounted by an angel blowing a trumpet. The cost, including a good bell, was $4550. A board of trustees was elected by the Dutch congregation, March 3, 1817, to control its interests in the building. This was composed of Jacob Harder, John C. Hogeboom, Edward Holmes, Philip Dunspaugh, Teunis Snyder, and John Holsapple.
The congregation was now more regularly supplied with preaching, and in 1819 ninety-six persons united in a petition to the classis of Rensselaer, asking for the formation of a separate church. The prayer being granted, a special meeting was held to perfect the organization and install a consistory.
This first consistory of the Reformed Dutch church at Ghent were William P. Link and Teunis G. Snyder, elders; John Jacobi, Jr., and George A. Shufelt, deacons. In 1820, in addition to the before-mentioned persons, the following were ordained elders and deacons, viz.: Jacob Stupplebeem and John H. Ryfenbergh, elders; Adam Gaul and Zechariah Link, deacons. And June 10 of that year these eight persons formed themselves and their successors into a body corporate, under the statute providing "for the incorporation of religious societies." The corporate name adopted was the "Consistory of Christ's Church in the town of Ghent." It may be well to remark that this corporate title was subsequently (April 29, 1824) changed to "The Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Ghent," the certification of which, as filed in the county clerk's office, bears the names of P. S. Wynkoop, minister; Conrad Gaul, Jacob C. Miller, Barent Van Buren, elders; Wilh's Ostrander, William Kisselburgh, Tunis Isbister, John Harder, deacons. This is yet the corporate name of the church. Thus, as far as ecclesiastical and civil law could go, the church was completely organized. Its only further lack was a constituency that would enable it to support the ordinances of the gospel. This could only be secured through the consent of the churches of Kinderhook and Claverack; for, of the ninety-six persons who signed the petition to classis, nearly all were members of either the one parent church or the other, and the heads of families were pledged to the support of the pastors of those churches. So long as the new organization were satisfied with what services these pastors could render, and were willing to be a mere out-station of these churches, no opposition arose; but when, in order to call a pastor of their own, application was made for the dismissal of those members who resided more convenient to the church of Ghent, and their release from their subscriptions to the pastor's salary, both Claverack and Kinderhook refused to grant the application. At length, on the 23d of September, 1822, the bounds of the new church were determined, and a call to the pastorate was extended to Rev. Peter S. Wynkoop immediately after.
Mr. Wynkoop arrived and began his ministry in Ghent Dec. 10, 1822. He was installed Jan. 9, 1823, Revs. Andrew Kittle, Isaiah Y. Johnson, James Romeyn, and Richard Sluyter participating in the services. Immediately steps were taken as to the constitution of the membership. Those who had been received by verbal recommendation were required to bring certificates, and others presented theirs, and still others came forward on confession; and on Feb. 14 the revised list of members was made up as follows (copying the register of the clerk): "5 members heretofore admitted by certificate; 11 do. by confession; 60 this day from Kinderhook by certificate; 36 do. from Claverack; 1 do. from Hyde Park; 1 do. from Hudson; 2 do. from Germantown; 3 do. from old church of Squampamock; 17 by confession,--136 total number of communicants Feb. 14, 1823." Seven of this number, viz., Henry T. Snyder, and wife, Jacob Rivenburgh, Mrs. Wm. P. Vosburgh, Miss Ann Vredenburgh, Mrs. William Jones, and Mrs. Samuel Andress, survive, and are still in the communion of the church. Rev. Mr. Wynkoop at the time of his settlement was in the vigor of his manhood, being in his thirty-sixth year, having had already ten years of ministerial experience. He was a faithful, earnest, and evangelical preacher, but above all of deep personal piety, cultivated by prayerful heart-searchings and communion with God. At noon, as well as morning and evening, he gathered his family about the alter of worship. He was strictly conscientious in the discharge of his duty, and to the neglect often of his private interests, and at every personal sacrifice fulfilled his appointments and watched over the spiritual interests of his flock. His pastorate extended over the period of twenty years, and besides the fruit that was gathered year by year, was marked by several seasons of special ingathering. Such were the years 1831, 1832, and 1838, in which last year forty-one were received on confession. During the twenty years one hundred and twenty by confession and forty-one by certificate were added to the church. The highest number of communicants reported in any one year was two hundred and twenty-five, in 1839.
The first year of his pastorate, Dominie Wynkoop resided in the house now occupied by Dr. P. W. Mull. The following year a parsonage was purchased with eight acres of land, which was occupied by the pastor during the remaining years of his settlement. It yet stands, and is the home of Mr. Jacob Rivenburgh. The labors of Mr. Wynkoop were, by arrangement to that effect, shared by the Hillsdale or Krum church, until it ws merged in the church of Mellenville, in 1840, and with the latter church until 1843, when he resigned his charge. Service was held every Sabbath in the Ghent church, one Sabbath in the morning and the next in the afternoon, (every other Sabbath morning the church being occupied by the Lutherans), and every fourth Sabbath, a.m., he preached at Hillsdale. The Ghent church, as we have seen, in these twenty years had grown in numbers and strength very greatly, and for years the church had been filled with attentive worshipers. In 1840 the work of colonizing began and several families and members were dismissed to help constitute the second church of Claverack (Mellenville). A year or two later a mission was begun at Chatham Four Corners, which soon grew into a church; and in constituting it Ghent again sent forth some of her children. Finally, the members in the western portion of the town agitated the securing a church in their own vicinity, an effort which resulted in the organization, in 1843, of the Second Reformed church of Ghent, and the withdrawal from the old church of nearly one-half of its families and members. These changes so weakened the financial strength of the parent church, that when Mellenville wished a pastor for itself, it felt itself unable to keep its obligation to Mr. Wynkoop. He too seems to have been despondent of the future, and accordingly resigned his call, after a pastorate of more than twenty years.
Though shorn of its members the Ghent church, after the lapse of several months, addressed itself to the work of securing a pastor. In the spring of 1845 their choice fell on Rev. John De Witt, son of an honored professor in the Theological Seminary, and who is now filling with acceptance and efficiency the chair of Biblical Literature in the same institution. An effort was made to secure a sufficient subscription to settle him, which seems to have met with such success as to warrant a call, which was made upon him April 3, 1845. The salary offered was $400. Mr. De Witt accepted, and gave four years of his early ministry to the service of this church. It was a critical period in its history. Families had fallen from one hundred to forty-five, and it seemed doubtful whether the old church had not been so weakened as to presage extinction. However, the new pastor, despite discouragements, addressed himself to the strengthening of the things that remained. His work was largely one of adjusting the affairs of the church to its new condition. Two important measures were successfully carried through looking to this end. The first was to secure the title and exclusive possession of the church edifice. For forty-five years the Reformed and Lutheran societies had now been joint occupants of the same house of worship. So long as their pastors alternated their labors with other parishes the arrangement worked well, but now the Reformed church had a minister wholly to themselves, and only a half interest in the church. Hence they inaugurated measures for dissolving the existing copartnership. The proposal was made to the Lutheran society to buy or sell for $1100,--a proposition that was met by them with an offer to sell for that sum. The Reformed consistory, in order to make the purchase, sold their parsonage, and on April 2, 1846, received a deed for the Lutheran interest. Having thus gained full possession of the old church, the second measure of importance inaugurated was a change in the method of providing for the support of the church,--a change effected in March, 1847, by an order of consistory to have an annual sale of the pews to the highest bidder. Thus the plan of a subscription list, with its unavoidable losses and inconveniences, was done away with,--superseded by a better if not a perfect system.
In September, 1848, the connection of Rev. Mr. De Witt with the Ghent church was dissolved to enable him to accept a call to the church of Canajoharie. During his ministry eight had been added to the church, two by confession and six by certificate. During a portion, if not all the time, of his pastorate the church had to depend on the Board of Domestic Missions for aid in supporting its pastor,--a dependence that was to continue up to 1855. The vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Rev. Mr. De. Witt lasted scarcely a month, for Sept. 24, 1848, the consistory made a call upon Rev. John Gray, for many years settled at Schodack, but then of Cohoes. They were fortunate in securing his speedy acceptance. He assumed the duties of his office the first Sabbath in October, and for exactly seven years faithfully and earnestly labored to serve the Master and the church. Full of experience, gathered through years of missionary labor, alike in the foreign and domestic fields, and fifteen years of the pastorate in this country, with a heart on fire with love for souls, a ready and pithy preacher, under him the church gradually strengthened, and the prospect became more hopeful. A parsonage was purchased for him by a number of members fo the congregation, who retained the title, but gave the use of it to the pastor. It is now the residence of Mr. Seth Winn.
During his pastorate the Rev. Mr. Gary received thirty-two into communion of the church, nineteen of whom were on confession. Twenty-six--thirteen by confession and thirteen by certificate--were received during the last year of his settlement. Shortly preceding and attending the resignation of Mr. Gray, there was an unfortunate breach of the long-prevailing harmony of the church, and which, costing the church its pastor and its parsonage, threatened its disruption. Mr. Gray on leaving, for a short time assumed a pastorate in western New York, but in a year or two returned here and took up his residence among his old people, in the house now occupied by his widow. He still did efficient service with his pen, and died among us, honored and mourned, in 1865. By earnest effort the church was able, independent of the Board of Missions, to call a pastor for the old-time salary, and their choice fell upon Rev. W. W. Letson, a recent graduate of the seminary. His call bears date Feb. 18, 1856. He assumed charge shortly after, and continued to serve the church faithfully and acceptably for eight years. He resigned his call in January, 1864. During his pastorate considerable progress was made, the people became united, a parsonage was secured, and a good degree of prosperity enjoyed. The accessions to the church were twenty-one by confession and six by certificate.
The present pastor was installed Aug. 9, 1864. In these fourteen years the church has passed through many trials,--has had its days of discouragement and darkness,--but the Lord has not allowed his cause to suffer or his church to perish. Indeed, as we look over this period, we can thankfully praise him for what he has wrought, and gather a lesson of confidence and trust for the future. In 1864 the church numbered forty-two families and one hundred and fifteen members. Eighty members have been received into the communion (fifty-eight by confession), of whom seventy-five yet remain with us. The Sabbath-school has grown from less than thirty scholars in 1864 to nearly one hundred and ten in 1878. Just when the old church had been refitted, at an expense of about $1500, on the night of Dec. 23, 1868, it was burned. It seemed for a moment as if the history of the Ghent church was ended, but the little band rallied and addressed themselves zealously to the work of rebuilding. The present tasteful and convenient edifice, on its new and eligible site, was erected at an expense of nearly $15,000, and on June 28, 1870, was dedicated and opened for worship. Having paid for it, in the summer of 1872 the old parsonage was sold, and the present spacious and substantial residence adjoining the church was built, at a cost of about $4500. In all the needful appointments of a church we have now nothing to desire; and withal the Lord has not failed to add his spiritual blessing and largely revive his work. Surely, on the review of the century, and particularly the last decade, we have every reason to thank God and take courage. It shows conspicuously that God is mindful of his people, and ever watches over and cares for his church.

- Genre: Action/Adventure
- Platform: Wii U
- Shelved At: Bowser’s Castle, basically the last couple hours of the game.
It may seem weird that I shelved a game when I knew I was near the end of the game, but for this game it was basically the point of no return for me. Paper Mario: Color Splash was a frustrating experience. Frustrating because it’s a much better game than the previous entry, Sticker Star, but also because the key story points generally introduced changes in mechanics that seemed to counteract everything that had been going on before.
One of the big things that really turned me off from playing Sticker Star was the need to collect stickers just to continue the battles. This has unfortunately not gone away, but at least for the bulk of the game, is not a huge issue. There are now a couple shops in the main town that sell standard cards, as well as the more special-case Thing cards that are the primary mechanic of most boss fights. That said, the convenience of them being there is fairly heavily counteracted by the need for them to be there. Going into a boss battle, you generally don’t know what you need to do to win. You may know what cards you’ll need, but not when or how to use them. Because of this, it was not uncommon for me to go into a boss battle blind, effectively expecting to die so I could actually prepare for the fight.
Because this entry is also not a stat-based RPG, the effective growth curve of enemies results in you needing upgraded variants of cards, and therefore a higher overall cost. The cost is both coins if buying directly, or amount of paint used if using unpainted cards. This ended up pushing me to a point where to get past where I shelved the game, I would have had to just grind through battles with cheap cards in order to buy the expensive cards I now knew I needed. Because the first fight in Bowser’s Castle effectively starts out by removing your paint supply, then limiting you to specific colors of cards, simply stocking up on cheaper unpainted variants was a recipe for death. While grinding then wouldn’t have been difficult, it wasn’t worth the amount of time needed given how many frustrating boss fights I’d already encountered getting to there.
If nothing else, there were some positive signs in this game if a future entry cleans up some of the less fun shenanigans. The story itself was much more entertaining than either Sticker Star or the sort of related Paper Jam, and was definitely much closer to the quality of the RPG entries in the series. While the battle system had some collecting issues, when I was just using the cards themselves, it was still a mechanically tight and fun to use turn-based system, with a lot of variety in the cards beyond the standard jump/hammer. The visuals and soundtrack were also both fantastic.
At this point, I’m not really sure what this series needs. My instinct is to say they just need to go back to making a straight RPG experience, and Paper Jam was certainly enough of an indication that a Mario RPG is still fun to play. That said, they’ve shown that non-RPG Paper games can be a lot of fun with Super Paper Mario, but that was nearly 10 years ago at this point. I suspect what they really need to do is just take a break and try some other things before deciding to come back, because their attempts at new things within this IP have become at best a mixed bag.

White out or correction fluid is great for fixing mistakes but not so great when it gets onto wood. It leaves a white stain that dries to the touch. There are ways to remove it from wood but sometimes it can be a challenge to do so. I would test a small area first and would not attempt to remove from antique pieces.
How to Remove White Out from Wood
1. Spray a little bit of WD-40 onto the stain and let it sit for a minute.
2. Using a credit card or something similar carefully scrape off what you can without damaging the wood.
3. Then, take a rag and gently wipe off the excess stain.
If it doesn’t come off the first time, try to apply WD-40 to the stain again and gently rub with the rag. If you have unfinished you can use sandpaper to sand out the stain.
