Saminathan A, Prabhu, Nagarathinam I. A case of dic (1:15) (p11;p11) with t(9:22)(q34:q11) in B-ALL. Acta Med Int [serial online] 2015 [cited 2019 Jul 16];2:189-90. Available from: http://www.actamedicainternational.com/text.asp?2015/2/2/189/209642
B cell ALL is a subtype of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). World Health Organization classifies B cell ALL based on frequent cytogenetic findings into t(9:22) (q34;q11.2); 11q23 translocations; t (12;21) (p13;q22); t (1;19) (q23;p13.3); t (5;14) (q31;q32); hyperdiploidy;hypodiploidy and B- ALLs not otherwise specified.[1] t(9;22) occurs in 15-30% of adult B- ALL and it is associated with poor prognosis.[2],[3] We report a novel dicentric (1;15) (p11;p11) with t(9;22)(q34;q11) in B- ALL. Dicentric's (dic) are aberrant chromosomes with two centromeres. Till date, 3 dicentric's: dic (7;9), dic(9;12) and dic(9;20) with t(9;22) were reported in B- ALL with a poor prognosis. Dicentric chromosomes (1;15) are also reported in other hematological Malignancies like MDS, AML and ALL.
A 35-year-old male came with complaints of prolonged fever for 3 weeks and body Pain. The hematological profile revealed a white blood cell count of 324.3 X103/mm3 with 74% blasts, a hemoglobin level of 6.2 g/dl and a platelet count of 50X109/mm.3 Bone marrow aspirate showed hyper cellular particles and trails. WBC's showed hyperleucocytosis with blasts. Severe thrombocytopenia also noted. Trephine biopsy revealed proliferations of blasts which are medium sized to large and had vesicular nuclei with indented nucleoli. No megakaryocytes were noted. There was a marked increase in reticulin.
The biochemical parameters were normal except elevated liver AST (67U/L);ALT(121U/L);GGTP(159U/L), alkaline phosphatase (251U/L) profiles and renal urea (46mg/dl),Creatinine (1.446mg/dl) and sodium (135mEq/L). Clinical examination revealed mild spleen enlargement, 2cm below coastal margin. No Lymphadeonpathy. Central nervous system was also not involved. The patient was positive for the Immunophenotypic markers CD10/CD19/CD34/ CD33 by Flowcytometry. Diagnosis of B- ALL was made, however the patient moved to home town for treatment. Conventional karyotype analysis was done on Standardized unstimulated direct and 24 hours bone marrow cultures.Conventional G banding revealed an abnormal karyotype interpreted as: 46,XY,+1,dic(1;15) (p11;p11),t(9;22)(q34;q11) [Figure 1] using International System for Cytogenetic nomenclature, 2013.[4] Partial Karyotype of dic(1;15).t(9;22) was represented in [Figure 2].
Figure 1: GTG banded karyogram exhibiting 46,XY,+1,dic(1;15)(p11;p11),t(9;22)(q34;q11)
Figure 2: Partial Karyotype of dic(1;15).t(9;22)
To our knowledge this dic(1;15)(p11:p11) with t(9;22) (q34;q11) is the first kind of report in B-ALL. Other clonal dicentric chromosome reports with t(9;22) in B-ALL are dic (7;9),dic(9;12) and dic(9;20). Also, few dicentric chromosome reports involving 1 and 15 are described as in polycythemia Vera, essential thrombocythaemia, atypical MPD, MDS and acute myeloid leukemia.[5],[6] Genes involved in dic(1;15) are unknown. Hence, further molecular studies are required to elucidate the pathogenesis and prognostic significance of dic(1;15) in leukemia.

We Interrupt this Culture War to Report …
September 20, 2012 By William Bole 1 Comment
A church burns in India
I don’t know if Mitt Romney really believes that 47 percent of all Americans will never have a sense of personal responsibility, will never “care for their lives.” How can anyone think such a thing let alone speechify about it? I also don’t know if he truly believes that one man in America is amassing the power of government to persecute its citizens just because they’re religious. But in an ad last month, the GOP nominee renewed this line of attack on Barack Obama. He and his surrogates have continued to argue, with a wary eye toward the administration’s birth-control mandate, that the president is waging a “war on religion.”
There’s certainly a culture war over religion, and it has apparently come to my quiet neighborhood in Andover, Mass. Walking back from town the other day, I noticed a blue and white sign on a front-porch railing that read: “Stand Up for Religious Freedom.” It’s part of a national campaign targeting this alleged jihad against people and institutions of faith.
I’ve known my neighbors to get up in arms about pressing matters such as parking restrictions and overgrown trees, but this was a bit of a surprise for me. The debate over religious freedom in America has been one of the oddly unexpected features of the 2012 elections. If it were a reality show, I’d be grateful to see a news bulletin break in: We interrupt this broadcast to report that there are people in the world who are actually suffering religious persecution, and not one of them lives in Andover, Mass., or any place like it.
John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter provided such a public service during a forum at Boston College this past April, titled “Is Religious Freedom Under Threat in America?” As the forum’s moderator, he interrupted the panel discussion—entirely about the domestic squabble—to point out that an estimated 150,000 Christians die each year in religious violence in places like Egypt, Nigeria, and India. “In the past hour, 17 Christians have been killed on this planet,” Allen reported, extrapolating from the average toll.
Allen committed the faux pas of talking about actual religious persecution abroad, when he and others on the panel were supposed to be speaking seriously about dubious religious persecution at home (and they did speak seriously and thoughtfully on the subject, from different perspectives).
I hesitate to add that I wrote an article about that forum for Boston College Magazine, and my paragraph on Allen’s intervention was edited out—for perfectly sound editorial reasons, I’m absolutely sure. But it’s just another indication of how the issue of religious freedom has been domesticated. In some hands it has become a political football.
More about this in a month—when thousands are expected to take personal responsibility and turn up in Washington for an October 20 “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” rally. Undoubtedly there will be some 47 percenters among them. …read more

Woodmancote School > Admissions
Choosing a school for your child is an important decision and we hope that this website gives you the relevant information. However, there is nothing like visiting in person for getting a flavour of the school, and discovering what a very special place it is.
The best schools know that education should be concerned with the personal development of the whole child, intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual, social, aesthetic and emotional.
We aim to provide a broad curriculum to nurture growth in all these areas. We recognise that the rate of development in each of these areas varies from child to child, therefore our curriculum and teaching methods are designed to help each child realise his or her maximum potential.
Woodmancote School believes that by building self-esteem and confidence, equipping pupils with skills to learn, by working together as a team and by involving all stakeholders (parents and others), it will ensure a continuous improvement in its high standards of teaching and learning.
Please read the Prospectus and then come and spend some time here. You will receive a very warm welcome.
The school admissions criteria is as follows:
‘Looked after children’ – children in the care of the local authority or those who subsequently become subject to adoption or residence.
Children who will have siblings attending the school at the time the applicant child is admitted.
Children with the strongest geographical claim, measured in a straight line from the child’s ordnance survey address point to that of the school.
For details of Gloucestershire County Council’s admissions process, including their over-subscription criteria, that the school must adhere to, click here.
Parents wishing to apply for their child to attend the school should contact the school office to obtain an in-year application form, which needs to be completed and returned to the school along with a proof of address. Parents are strongly encouraged to also contact the school office to arrange a visit to the school.
Our next Open Events
We are running the following Open Sessions for the parents of children due to start school in September 2020:
Tuesday 24th September 1:45pm
Wednesday 23rd October: 9:30am
Everybody is welcome to just tuen up on the day, there is no need to book a place!

EPL Games Temporarily Return to Setanta Sports USA
Christopher Harris January 8, 2010 General, Leagues: EPL 53 Comments
Setanta Sports USA will televise two high-profile Premier League games this weekend, according to its website, which was updated late Friday.
Both the Arsenal versus Everton (Saturday, 10am ET) and West Ham versus Wolves (Sunday, 8:25am ET) games will be shown on Setanta USA, as long as mother nature cooperates and the games aren’t postponed due to the adverse weather conditions in England. UPDATE: West Ham United against Wolves has been postponed due to the weather, so only Arsenal versus Everton will be shown.
The news will come as welcome relief for anxious soccer fans in the United States who have this week been looking forward to watching Landon Donovan’s debut for Everton. Fox Soccer Channel, meanwhile, will show Birmingham City versus Manchester United at 12:30pm ET, weather permitting.
Sources confirmed to EPL Talk on Friday that executives from both Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta Sports were involved in continued discussions for Fox to acquire Setanta Sports. However, as of Friday afternoon, Fox has yet to announce whether an agreement has been made.
Earlier this week, Setanta removed all mention of the Premier League from its website and TV listings. Thankfully for Premier League fans in the United States, the two games have been added back to the Setanta TV listings. No future Premier League games have been added to the TV listings, so Setanta may have a weekend reprieve while negotiations presumably continue.
For more coverage about Fox Soccer Channel’s discussions with Setanta Sports, be sure to read our articles about Fox acquiring the service mark to Fox Soccer Plus, and an opinion article discussing how Setanta’s likely demise could be a dark day for soccer fans.
UPDATE: Setanta Sports has now added more Premier League to it’s TV schedule posted on its website. The games on Saturday, January 16 feature Manchester United v Burnley, Tottenham v Hull City and Wolves v Wigan, as well as one game on Sunday, January 17 featuring Aston Villa v West Ham United.
East Terrace January 8, 2010
Good news! Hopefully the weather will not get any worse now and we will get to see both games.
RIP January 8, 2010
Arsenal v Everton with the hopeful debut of Landon Donovan. Very good news indeed!!
Rob Usry January 8, 2010
At least I’ll have a better chance at finding a stream now. Stupid Setanta. Hopefully Fox gets those games on a more accessible channel soon.
Ken January 8, 2010
Elsewhere someone mentioned that ESPN sub-licenses from Setanta USA.
Is that true, and if so, will they have a match this weekend ?
The Gaffer January 8, 2010
Ken, not true. ESPN sub-licenses from FSI (aka FSC).
Civrock January 8, 2010
Bummer… I was hoping to see the Arsenal game on FSC or another non-subscription based channel tomorrow.
The acquisition and the results thereof can’t come soon enough. Hopefully discussions between the two continue throughout and/or after the weekend.
Indiana Jones January 8, 2010
A caveat; the Premier League website states that the Wigan game on the FSC sheedule is subject to a DW pitch inspection at 8:30 am (GMT) Saturday – the underground heating system failed at 5 pm Friday and it is now up to the referee to decide whether the pitch is playable or too frozen.
Accordingly it is possible FSC will have no game to broadcast at 10:00 am EST Saturday as all other EPL games are posponed.
Now if FSC loses that Wigan Aston Villa game then just maybe FSC will recover the Arsenal game from Setanta (which is understood to be in default under its sub-license agreement) and show the Arsenal game itself assuming that that game is not also canceled.
Very doubtful that Arsenal v Everton will switch to FSC at the last minute even if Wigan v Villa game is postponed. We’ll see.
ESPN2 was scheduled to show tomorrow’s Chelsea/Hull game at 7:45 a.m. est, but the game as been postponed. They will likely revert back to hunting/fishing shows during tomorrow’s timeslot.
pall_good January 8, 2010
I have setanta and fsc, but I recently learned that my PS3 with the internet browser is the BEST thing in the world for watching a game online. No more staring at the computer screen.
Many (most ?) recent PCs and laptops have a DVI and/or HDMI output that can plug into your HD TV in exactly the same way as a PS3.
The Voice Of Reason January 8, 2010
Thanks for the update, Gaffer. Hopefully something will be worked out “longer term” and I’ll continue to be $15 poorer each month.
I agree. The $15 is well worth it over the course of a month. Especially with Champion’s League. Let hope it continues to grow and thrive.
Chris January 8, 2010
yep. no free loaders allowed for Arsenal v Everton
geraldinho January 8, 2010
thanks for the breaking news gaffer. i was hoping the game would be postponed if there was not going to be live coverage, but now i’m obviously hoping it is played as scheduled
Efrain January 8, 2010
manuonfire January 8, 2010
Good news I have only setanta sports and i was about to call my sateliite company and cancel it,but there still might be hope and setanta can be even as it was in the 08/09 season.
Terry January 8, 2010
Just got home, checked the FIOS guide and saw the games there and thought “what happened?” Disappointed that so many other games had to be cancelled due to weather, but hopeful that when they are rescheduled some extra station: Setanta or FSC+ is around to carry them.
Even at 2 matches a weekend, that’s less than $2 per game on SD, which is better than internet and, hey, was good enough for 50+ years. And that doesn’t include FA, Carling, UEFA, Russian league, Championship, etc. etc. I’m amazed how many weekends I have the opportunity to watch every EPL game (live or delayed). I’m amazed my DVR hasn’t died from overwork.
Now watch Donovan not even make an appearance, haha.
Did the talks suddenly break down or something? How come Setanta is able to, or rather, is allowed to show these EPL matches again after being unable to pay for the sub-license for 2010?
I thought that they may have given them another weekend while the acquisition talks were still ongoing but now that another weekend was apparently added, there appears to be more to the story…
Where’s the press release respectively announcement from either FSI or Setanta US about this? It’s all just kind of happening, mainly on TV schedules, without any official word.
Civrock, good questions. They’re still in talks but not releasing any information probably until “the ink is dried” if/when they sign an agreement.
If/when everything is agreed, Fox will officially announce the news via a press release.
olivert January 8, 2010
I suspect that Setanta Sports North America Ltd. had to cough up a little bit of money to FSI in order get 2 weeks of EPL matches back on the Setanta Sports USA TV channel.
FSI really has no choice but to take whatever money it can get from Setanta Sports North America for the EPL sublicense through May 2010. Why? It should be obvious by now that ESPN, Inc. isn’t willing to sublicense any more soccer TV products from FSI for the rest of the 2009-2010 EPL season.
(I am assuming that the UEFA CL sublicense is gone because at most 2 games will be played simultaneously for the rest of the sesaon, and FSI has FSC and FSE available in addition to FSN on Tuesday.)
One possible outcome I can forsee: NewsCorp (R. Murdoch) can choose to drag this out through May 2010 as long as Setanta Sports North America Ltd. pays some money to FSI for the EPL matches on a week-to-week or month-to-month basis, and then walk away from the negotiations table with Setanta Sports North America Ltd. once the EPL sublicense expires in May 2010, if NewsCorp does NOT really want to buy the Setanta Sports USA TV channel business.
Cantona January 9, 2010
that makes NO SENSE.. why would an operation on the verge of bankruptcy buy time for another two weeks…
if they are in that bad of a shape the would just fold.. end of story..
more speculation and innuendo..
there is NOTHING to show that the EPL rights sublicensed to setanta are back w/ FSI… if there — show me where?
olivert January 10, 2010
Cantona:
> that makes NO SENSE.. why would an operation on the verge of bankruptcy buy time for another two weeks…
Setanta Sports North America Limited is making a “Hail Mary” play to try to sell the entire Setanta Sports USA business to FSI.
There is no way Setanta North America will allow most of its 65000 Setanta Sports USA residential subscribers to unsubscribe en masse in the near term as long as Setanta North America is talking to FSI regarding a buyout.
If Setanta Sports USA were to drop EPL, it will likely lose as many as 50,000 subscribers. That will devalue the Setanta Sports USA business.
With that said, I do NOT believe it makes any sense for FSI to buy Setanta Sports USA. FSI is better off in my opinion to let Setanta Sports USA die before starting another soccer-centric channel in the U.S.
ngog January 9, 2010
Nice article on Yahoo! Sports citing EPL Talk concerning this issue.
http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news?slug=ap-fox-setantausa&prov=ap&type=lgns
It basically says FSI is negotiating a purchase of Setanta or many of its soccer rights, a possible prelude to launching the company’s second all-soccer network in the US.
Negotiations were ongoing and could be completed within days, the person said Friday.
The Web site EPL Talk, which first reported on the talks, said this week that a Fox company had obtained a trademark for the name “Fox Soccer Plus.”
GoZzy January 9, 2010
It’ll be great if Setanta’d reappear as FSP with no extra 15$ charge.
Ngog, nice article (EPL Talk was mentioned in an AP story, which has so far been picked up USA Today, Newsday, Yahoo and others). However, it took the AP five days to write the story that I covered on Monday. And the AP story is out-of-date now and doesn’t include the latest EPL Talk scoop about the games being back on Setanta. Oh well ; )
ovalball January 9, 2010
Just another example of soccer barely being a blip on the radar of U.S. sports.
Ovalball, I agree. I think it’s another sign of how old media is behind the times.
The story has been picked up across the US and Canada. The full list of media clippings can be found at http://epltalk.com/media-coverage
JayR5 January 9, 2010
Villa/Wigan is cancelled.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/wigan/6955615/Wigan-Aston-Villa-match-called-off-due-to-frozen-pitch.html
Surely FSC won’t go dark at 10:00 AM, right? They have to switch the Arsenal game over. Setanta’s about to be bought anyway, it’s not like they have much of a say. And since FSC’s about to buy them, what do they care? At the very least it should be simulcast.
sucka99 January 9, 2010
i’m guessing the legal agreements just signed prevent that
Couple of weeks ago, when Fio-Milan was cancelled, they just announced that it’s postponed due to a weather conditions and replayed some of the old stuff. Surely same thing’s gonna happen today.
Tom Hingley January 9, 2010
West Ham – Wolves game postponed.
rej4sl66 January 9, 2010
Well ESPN2 give us the delights of fishing – and dread to think what FSC will show – but hopefully the Man United game will still be played – salvage something of this Saturday anyway – just hope Fox Soccer Channel get the rights back from Setanta and show them on the 2nd channel – so we get to see more Man United games
Pete January 9, 2010
Donovan starts, just in case anyone’s interested.
Judging from the team it looks like he is playing upfront with Saha
MasterBlaster January 9, 2010
And an assist from Donovan from a corner! Beautiful ball sent in from Donovan headed in by Leon Osman to put Everton ahead of Arsenal 1-0. What an unreal first contribution in the first 12 minutes of the game against a Big Four team.
Simon Burke January 9, 2010
And an assist from Donovan for the Arsenal goal – lost the ball, failed to win it back. Beautiful corner? Just a high lump into the box which Arsenal all looked at… how the hell Arsenal are level I dont know as they have been dreadful.
Nice try. You are clearly a fool.
jk January 9, 2010
Even the commentators have been impressed by Donovan. He has played quite well for her first game in a few months and to go from Home Depot Center to the Emirates that’s quite a jump and he has handled it well.
I don’t think he did too bad, little bit lazy at times but on the whole not bad.
Overall Donovan had a very good game, bit surprised Moyes took him off actually as anyone playing Traore today would have been desperate to stay on. Donovan didnt look tired to me. Definitely at fault for the first Arsenal goal was Donovan but otherwise was very impressive. Be interesting to see how he does against sides not populate by dwarves as that was always the questionmark against him coming to England – the physical side.
hell of a 2 hours that – disappointed not to have won but we didnt really deserve to. Madness.

Thanks for the good news this morning. I am amazed FSI actually let this game show on Setanta rather then on there channel. FSC was showing a replay of some Italian game.
john o'keefe January 9, 2010
During halftime of the Arsenal game, did anyone else notice the FSC commercial? Not sure if this is a hint or not, but it just seemed a little odd given all the talk but no confirmation (yet).
The Gaffer January 10, 2010
The Irish Times have picked up on the Fox/Setanta story and provide some additional information which hasn’t been released thus far (some financial details) at http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2010/0111/1224262051406.html

Gaffer, I can’t see Fox charging an additional $14.99 for a second channel of football. Frankly, Setanta’s price-point was way off the mark for a single channel. Think of it; I receive FSC, plus many more sports channels from DIRECTV for $12.99 per month. Compare this to Setanta’s price structure….I
BA, to me, Setanta is a bargain based on the quantity and quality of football coverage they provide me. It ends up being 50 cents a day. Cheaper than a can of soda.
MasterBlaster January 11, 2010
Don’t forget that without Setanta, we lose that Xtra channel (at least on DirecTV) which basically means one less live game per week. Depending on which team you are a fan of, Setanta Xtra can be a must. Even with a new Fox channel replacing Setanta, we lose that one live game on Saturday morning or any Tuesday/Wednesday fixtures.
Shane January 11, 2010
Anyone know what’s going on with Setanta-i? The EPL games haven’t re-appeared there yet.
Setanta-i.com seems to be working fine and showing all of the Premier League games that Setanta US is showing.
Sandlapper Spike January 11, 2010
Tweets from Tripp Mickle of SBJ:
“Hungry for more #EPL? Fox is expected tomorrow to confirm rumors it will create Fox Soccer Plus, a premium net w/ EPL & more.
Distribution for Fox Soccer Plus likely will vary from operator to operator. Some may charge premium fee. Others put it on a tier
As for those rumors Fox bought Setanta’s U.S. operations? Not true. But Setanta Sports won’t sublicense Fox’s #EPL games starting 3/1/10.”
Interesting. Tripp is usually on top of stories. Not sure where he’s getting the “rumors” that Fox bought Setanta US. We’ve been reporting they were in talks, but no final deal has been announced yet.
If Fox Soccer Plus is supposed to show Premier League matches and more, wouldn’t you think that they would be getting more rights in order to put games on that channel?
Maybe they could show one extra 10am ET game and a midweek EPL game or two but what other EPL games are there?
Spike, thanks for sharing the information.
Joel January 11, 2010
SBI tweeted FSC+ was confirmed.

Innovating In Iran: Afghan Immigrant Wins Praise In Tehran, But ‘Home’ Still Beckons
13th June, 2018 · admin 3 Comments
Foruzan Faghiri
Golnaz Esfandiari
Foruzan Faghiri was 3 years old when her family fled war in Afghanistan for neighboring Iran.
The Faghiris found shelter and education while at the same time coping with the discrimination and restrictions that Afghan refugees routinely face in Iran.
Yet Faghiri persevered, becoming a conspicuous success among Afghan immigrants to Iran.
The 29-year-old physicist’s work was recently highlighted in the government daily Iran, which suggested that the young woman’s creativity and technological prowess could help Tehran combat its stubborn pollution problem.
There are an estimated 3 million Afghans living in Iran: 1 million of them registered and around 2 million of them undocumented refugees living in legal limbo.
They frequently face discrimination and resentment among other Iranians who blame them for joblessness and other social ills, and are thought to have been recruited by the hundreds for combat duty in nearby Syria, where Tehran ally President Bashar al-Assad has been waging a 7-year battle for survival.
“It wasn’t just a few,” Faghiri says of the problems she encountered growing up as an Afghan in Iranian society.
‘Starting In Minus’
At one point, Faghiri said, she was expelled from middle school over her nationality. Her parents managed to get her enrolled again two months later, she added.
He parents “did all they could to distance us from the problems so we could achieve the main goal, which was to study,” she said. “Yet I still have some vague memories from those times and the problems.”
She said she learned to put problems “behind the door” and focus on her work.
It has left her with the feeling that she has had to far outwork her fellow Iranians to succeed.
“I have always told myself that there are problems and I have to find a way to cope with them,” Faghiri said. “For us, life didn’t start at zero, it started in minus, so we’ve had to work harder to make things normal.”
She said she eventually found her calling in physics, which she first saw as an “unreachable” subject.
“Since I always like to conquer difficult things, I started to study physics,” she said, adding that she came to understand and love the field.
But even recently, she said, colleagues at Azad University, where she has an office and conducts research, reacted with hostility at the prospect of an Afghan success story.
“Some friends who learned of [my achievements] from the news even stopped answering my calls,” she told RFE/RL in June.
Faghiri has been hailed for her design for a pollution monitor that she says is cheaper and more sensitive than similar, foreign-manufactured devices.
“It’s a small device; its sensors are designed based on the weather in the Middle East,” she said. “It’s highly sensitive, and it’s portable, and it’s the size of two [tissue packets]. And to make it easier to use, I’ve designed an application for mobile phones.”
The Iran daily reported that the device was being considered for use in Tehran’s Tohid Tunnel, which stretches under the capital for around 3 kilometers.
Sense Of A Homeland
Faghiri is hopeful that it will find widespread use in Tehran, a city of 8 million that often suffers choking levels of pollution that close schools and leave residents hospitalized.
“Anyone can have one of these at home, [or] it can be used at hospitals, for elderly people, children, and those suffering from heart and respiratory problems,” she said. “It can help people decide whether they should stay home or not.”
But Faghiri, who is considering pursuing a doctorate, recently spent three weeks in Afghanistan that left her in love with her country of birth.
Her work was praised at a seminar attended by senior Afghan officials including Afghan Minister for Higher Education Najibullah Khajeh Omri and Kabul University Dean Hamidullah Faroughi.
She said she witnessed the “destruction” and suggested women face more restrictions in Afghanistan than in Iran.
Yet Faghiri felt “home” for the first time in years.
“I would meet someone I didn’t know in the street and feel he’s my brother. People were so kind — it was different from here,” she recalled.
She said she sees her future there despite living most of her life in Iran.
“I had always missed the sense of a homeland, there was a vacuum, but I found it in Afghanistan,” Faghiri told RFE/RL in June. “I will definitely return to my country and work there.”

Past Exhibition: MAD in KARACHI...3D II
Karachi - a city that routinely faces breaking news makes us mad… in a positive way.
Art today has become an exciting statement of cultural diversity mapping diverse geographies. Mad in Karachi 3D II brings together, after a two-year hiatus, 21 artists who constantly leave a social and political imprint on the contemporary art scene through their three-dimensional practices. The essence of the city is imbued in their work, the narrative does not necessarily address the concerns of the city. This show enhances 3D practice of Karachi – a city where we live, amongst a population of 21 million and still constantly changing.
The idea of three-dimensionality will be further explored in contemporary sculptural practices. The elements of media, space and formation have played a crucial role and the expansion of the physical object not only encompasses a space but fascinates the viewer equally.
It is an enthralling spectacle to be viewed through several discourses, finding its expression through the works. From political activism to material culture or form, this exhibition brings diverse artistic engagements. The emphasis is given on the individual idea and its manifestation that effect living in this city, while the city gives the work a certain edge. The works aim to arrest the viewer’s attention which has been neglected so far to a great extent.

March 13th-The second Asign Bee!
Asign boxing get their second stand out show of the month this coming Monday as we get Asign Bee Vol 2, and just like the first show on March 10th, the show is really good one.
The main event of the card sees the sensationally talented Naoko Fujioka (15-2, 6) hunt a 4th divisional title as she takes on Mexican Isabel Millan (18-2-1, 8) in a bout for the WBA female Flyweight title. Originally Fujioka had been down for facing Louisa Hawton for the WBO female Light Flyweight title, but that bout was scrapped about 5 weeks before the contest and as a result the promoter got Millan to travel to Japan for this equally as interesting Flyweight bout. A win for Fujioka would see her becoming the first Japanese fighter to become a 4-weight world champion, whilst a win for Millan would massively boost her career.
In a major supporting bout we'll see the world ranked Akihiro Kondo (27-6-1, 14) take on Thai visitor Patomsuk Pathompothong (33-6-1-1, 20) in a rematch of a contest the two men had back in 2015. On paper this should be a repeat win for Kondo, who looks to be having a solid run at the moment, but Patomsuk did look good last time out, losing a controversial decision to Kuok Kun Ng.
A second notable female bout here sees the unbeaten Jun Yabuki (6-0, 3) take on the in form Shione Ogata (7-5, 2). Although the bout looks like a mismatch on paper Ogata has won her last 6 in a row and has certainly turned her career around since a 1-5 start and she will be hungry to keep that run going here.
In another supporting bout we'll see Takafumi Nakajima (26-9-1, 11) take on Jump Ikeo (6-4-2, 4) in what looks like a straight forward win for experienced man. Nakajima will be looking to secure his second straight win since being blown out in 88 seconds last September, by a rampant Kosuke Saka and although a bit of a faded fighter now a days Nakajima is still solid. Ikeo has lost 3 of his last 5 and shouldn't prove much of a test here.
Another notable name on this card is the struggling Hikaru Marugame (6-2-1, 4). Marugame turned professional with high expectations and a strong amateur background but has gone 1-2-1 in his last 4 and cannot afford another slip up here. In the opposite corner to the Japanese fighter will be Filipino visitor John Ray Logatiman (5-4-2, 1), who looks to build on a career best win over Brian Lobetania here. This could be a real gut check for Marugame, who's career may be written off with another loss.
February 26th-Manus Boonjumnong back in action!
Action returns to Thailand this coming Friday for a card set to be streamed online via Thairath. The card, the latest from Kiatkreerin, looks to be a relatively predictable one, but does feature some fighters of note from the Kiatkreerin stable, and may well be followed with announcements of other bigger bouts later in the year.
The most notable fighter on the card is former 2-time Olympic medal winner Manus Boonjumnong (4-0, 2), though unfortunately we're unsure who he will be up against. We are expecting to see Manus out again in a few weeks so we're not expecting to see him face anyone too tough here, but it's clear that his team are keeping him busy and trying to get him into 100% fighting shape, a stark contrast to the way he looked on his debut.
Whilst Manus is the biggest name on the card he isn't in the main event. That bout will instead see Patomsuk Pathompothong (31-4-1, 19) battle against Indonesian Stevie Ongen Ferdinandus (18-10-1, 8) for a regional IBF title. This should be an easy win for Patomsuk, best known for losing last year to Ik Yang, however the 32 year old hasn't really got too much time to waste with bouts like this if he really wants to make a mark on the sport. Hopefully a fight against another top Asian will come later in the year, with fighters like Al Rivera, Shionya Iwabuchi or Hiroki Okada all making for attractive match ups.
A third bout on this card will see Ratchasi Sithsaithong (4-2, 3) battle against Khompetch Sithsaithong (5-7, 5). This will be Ratchasi's first bout since he was stopped by the under-rated Hikaru Nishida last November whilst Khompetch has lost his last 4, including losses to Keita Obara and Cobra Suwa.
July 27th-Kondo Vs Patomsuk, Marugame also in action
This coming Monday isn't a busy day in Asian boxing but there is some interesting action in Japan.
Although this past weekend had less than inspiring action we are looking forward to the start of a new week with several good looking bouts all set to take place on a show at the Korakuen Hall.
The most notable of the bouts sees former Japanese Lightweight champion Akihiro Kondo (21-6-1, 10) battle against experienced Thai Patomsuk Pathompothong (30-3-1, 19) in a very attractive looking 8 rounder. The 30 year old Kondo took more than a year out of the ring back in 2013-2014 though will now be fighting for the 6th time in just 53 busy weeks. As for the 31 year old Thai he'll be seeking one of his biggest wins to date as he looks to put his 6th round TKO loss to Ik Yang well behind him. We're expecting this to be really exciting.
In a a really intriguing supporting bout we'll see the touted Hikaru Marugame (4-0, 2) battle against Thailand's Non Sithsaithong (12-8, 8). Marugame was forced to work hard to win his last bout, a decision win over Wataru Miyasaka, and will be looking to show improvements from that bout. As for Non, he's not the most talented but he may hit hard enough to trouble Marugame who is still ust a prospect.
The third bout of note sees former Japanese Super Bantamweight title challenger Takafumi Nakajima (22-7-1, 9) battle Thai novice Sinpalangchai Chaiyonggym (0-0). This is a must win for Nakajima, who will obviously be favoured going in to the bout however every so often one of these Thai's ends up being tougher than expected and we may see that here, especially considering that Nakajima has fought just 14 rounds in the last 24 months.
As well as the bouts which have been mentioned this show will feature 4 other bouts.
As well as the bouts in Japan there will also be action in Thailand.
Sadly we've not got a full bout list from this show however we do know that Kalae McShane (4-0, 2) will be facing Payak Twins Gym (1-1) in what should be the 5th straight win for the touted McShane, from Hawaii.

March 7th-Amnat Vs Zou in a showdown, with notable action from Ik Yang, Rex Tso, Hiroki Okada, Suyon Takayama and more!
The start of the year has been tediously slow at times however March is certainly seeing in ring action liven up, in a big way. The first real date to mark down on your calendar is March 7th which sees action across Asia with several big names a host of notable fights ranging from a world title bout to world title eliminators to national title bouts.
The biggest of the days show's comes from Macau where fans are treat to another of Bob Arum's foray's into the gambling capital of Asia. In many ways this is the most important of all the Macau shows and is, potentially, the biggest banana skin on the road to making the experiment a major long term success.
The tricky part of this card is the main event which will see Chinese megastar Zou Shiming (6-0, 1) put his unbeaten record on the line as he takes on IBF Flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng (14-0, 5) in a brilliant match up. These two men are both unbeaten, both under-rated and were major amateur rivals. They are also men looking to claim a major scalp. For Shiming this a test that really could see him becoming a national hero or boxing's biggest villain, for Ruenroeng it's a chance to level the score with Shiming, who holds a 2-1 record over him from the amateur ranks. For Bob Arum this is a real test of his nerve. Shiming is talented and fast but this is a major step up for the double Olympic champion.
Shiming of course isn't the only Chinese born fighter on this show, nor is he the most exciting. One of the contenders for the tag of “most exciting” is the heavy handed Ik Yang (18-0-0-1, 13) who will be up against Thailand's experienced Patomsuk Pathompothong (30-2-1, 18) in an IBF Pan Pacific Light Welterweight title bout, which will also double as an IBF world title eliminator. Yang has been on a number of Top Rank shows and is known for his power and offensive style though his flawed defense may be a problem here against the talented Patomsuk, who gave world ranked Takayuki Hosokawa a very close bout back in late 2013. This could be very interesting.
Another rival to the tag of China's most exciting fighter is the very flawed but fun Rex Tso (15-0, 9) who battles Filipino Michael Enriquez (10-2-1, 6) in a bout for the WBA International Super Flyweight title. Tso will go into this bout as the favourite and is viewed as being likely to get a fight with WBA world champion Kohei Kono if he comes through here. For Enriquez this is a major opportunity though he has lost both of his previous title fights.
Going further down the card fans will get the chance to see the explosively heavy handed Aston Palicte (16-1, 14), of the Philippines, take on one of his toughest tests as he goes up against Ismael Garnica (13-5-1-1, 5). Garnica is best known for losing a decision British fighter Paul Butler last year, other than that however there is very little of note on his record. Palicte on the other hand is a dynamite puncher who comes into this bout on the back of 5 successive opening round blow outs, including a very notable one against Gerpaul Valero.
Another Filipino in action here will be Raymond Sermona (17-4-5, 8) who will be hoping to record his 3rd successive win as he battles former “world” title challenger Jose Felix Jr (28-1-1, 23). Felix Jr's only loss came last year when he stepped up to fight Bryan Vasquez and was well beaten, despite two horribly close scorecards, and he'll be favoured to make light work of Sermona.
To open the show we're expecting to see some local talent in action. One of those locals will be the unbeaten Zhou Yun Fei (4-0, 1) who battles against Paul Valenzuela (2-1-1, 2) whilst the other will be Macau's Kuok Kun Ng (6-0, 2), who will be facing Thailand's Chingchai Kiatpracha (7-2, 3).
As well as the action in Macau there is also a show, with title action, in Japan where fans will get a couple of domestic title fights courtesy of Kadoebi.
One of those title bouts will see once beaten Japanese Welterweight champion Suyon Takayama (21-1, 7) defending his belt against former foe Nobuyuki Shindo (16-2, 6) in what looks like to be a very competitive match up. Takayama has the title, the better looking record and a win over Shindo already on his record however he is a weak champion and a lot of bouts have been very close. Shindo has height and reach advantages though the question coming in is whether or not he will be able to make them count.
In the other title fight the unbeaten Hiroki Okada (9-0, 7) will be up against former title contender Hayato Hokazono (18-4-1, 11). We like Okada though are unsure how far he can really go, though it is obviously early days in his career. Hokazono is best known for his losses to the monstrously hard hitting Keita Obara, aside from those losses there is little else to note about his record other than a win over Kazuyoshi Kumano way back in December 2010.
On the under-card there is little of note though a bout between Hisao Narita (8-1, 4) and Yusuke Konno (8-2, 3) does look likely to be very competitive over the scheduled 8 rounds. Another undercard bout that we'll mention will see former Japanese Super Bantamweight title challenger Yukinori Hisanaga (16-5-2, 9) battle against Takuma Takahashi (6-4-1, 1).
In South Korea we get 3 bouts between Korean fighters and Japanese visitors as Watanabe send a trio of their stable over to Korea.
The most notable of the Japanese fighters is Sonin Nihei (5-1-1, 1) who came runner up in last years East Japan Rookie of the year. The talented 21 year old, who lost a split decision to Kenya Yamashita, will be taking on the debuting Tae Un Jung (0-0) who we know nothing about.
Another of the bouts will see unbeaten Korean Joo-Young Kwon (2-0) take on Keisuke Kanazawa (2-4, 1). On paper it's hard to go against the Korean though he has only faced debutants so far whilst Kanazawa holds a very surprising win over the much touted Koki Tyson Maebara from back in January 2013.
The remaining bout, and the most looking on paper, will see Shingo Yabu (4-4-2) battle against Chan-Hee Park (4-5-1). Yabu is 0-2-1 in his last 3, including a loss to Jumbo Oda Nobunaga Shoten Petagine in the 2013 All Japan Rookie of the Year final. Park on the other hand has lost his last 4 and hasn't notched a win since 2009, in fact he's not fought since October 2010. Interesting match up in some ways but neither guy is anything great.

October 17th-World ranked Samor in action!
This coming Friday looks like a very quiet day, though we have made aware of a title bout in Thailand as the world ranked Rusalee Samor (24-5-2, 11) defends his IBF Asia Super Flyweight title. Samor, a tough and exciting action fighter from Thailand, will be battling against Filipino Fernando Ocon (13-7, 5) in what we suspect will be an easy defense.
On the under-card fans will get the chance to see another world ranked fighter in action as Patomsuk Pathompothong (29-2-1, 18) battles against 21 year old Filipino Rodel Wenceslao (8-8-1, 2) in what should be a mismatch given what we know of the two men involved in this one.
Another notable name on this card is Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr (24-3-1, 15) who will be taking part in his 4th bout of the year. The Thai 21 year old will be fighting against South Korean Da-Won Suh (3-3-1, 1) who, despite the record, is unbeaten in 4 bouts. The Thai should be favoured, and he has competed at a much higher level, though he does come into this one on the back of a disappointing result with Tatsuya Fukuhara.
Another of the undercard bouts here will see Patomsith Pathompothong (9-2, 4) battle against another Korean visitor as he takes on Ji-Hwan Lee (5-3-1, 2). Going into this bout Lee has lost his last 3 though may provide a decent rival for the Thai fighter.
For those wanting to watch this show it will be televised by Channel 7.
June 20th-Rusalee Samor and Patomsul Pathompothong in action in Thailand, Rookie of the East continues in Japan
It's been a mostly quiet week this week but we do end it with action in both Japan and Thailand.
Phatthalung Province, Thailand
In Thailand we have title action as the always fun to watch Rusalee Samor (23-5-2, 10) defends his IBF Asia Super Flyweight title against Indonesia's experienced but limited Ricky Manufoe (23-20-2, 10). We love watching Samor who, whilst limited, is an all action fighter and was very unlucky in his most recent loss, a majority decision to Rex Tso last July.
On the undercard we're expecting to see the world ranked, IBF #10 Light Welterweight, Patomsuk Pathompothong (27-2-1, 17) in action as he battles against Indonesian visitor Billy Sumba (19-6-1, 4). Interestingly this is the second meeting between these two men with Patomsuk having beaten Sumba via an 8 round decision back in 2011.
Another Thai Vs Indonesian bout will see Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr (23-3, 15) taking on Ichal Tobida (10-11, 8). Fahlan, who was last seen in the ring being dominated by Takuma Inoue, needs a win here and will be expected to scored it against the hard hitting but very limited Tobida who is already 0-5 in Thailand. Fahlan might have been clearly beaten by Inoue but he should still be a level above Tobida,
As well as the title action in Thailand we also have a number of bouts from the East Japan Rookie of the Year. In total this show, from the Korakuen Hall, will feature 12 bouts with fights ranging from Light Flyweight to Middleweight. Of the 12 bouts the one we're most interested in is the Light bout between the highly touted 17 year old Lightweight Andy Hiraoka (3-0, 2) and the 24 year old Yoshihito Takahashi (2-1, 2).
On a second Japanese show, this time in Osaka, we will get to see 8 bouts in total. Although 7 of the 8 contests are 4 rounders there is one notable contest, the main event, which will see former world title challenger Masae Akitaya (8-4-2, 3) fighting for the first time since February 2013. Akitaya, who is best known for her losses to Ayaka Miyao, will be facing a Thai opponent though sadly we've failed to come up with the name of the Thai fighter.
Western Australia, Australia
In Australia we get to see a handful of low level bouts with Asian fighters involved. One of those will see Filipino veteran Arnel Tinampay (21-16-1, 7) battle against the unbeaten, though inexperienced, Wes Capper (4-0, 3) in what look to be a very interesting bout. Sure Capper is unbeaten but the difference in experience is huge and may well help Tinampay to a victory, something he deserved last time he fought in Australia.
The other two bouts involve Thai's with one of the bouts being between Baikon Lokromklao (1-2) and the debuting Shane Carroll (0-0) whilst the other will feature debuting Thai female Wiilaiwan Namuanghchan (0-0) who fights Louisa Hawton (0-0), a fellow debutant.

#25 on the 2017 Bacon Top 31
January 07, 2018 by Royal Stuart
CCFX EP by CCFX
The band at #25 represents the first “new” band on this year’s list. CCFX are the combination of two Olympia bands (neither of whom I was familiar with before writing this line) CC Dust and Trans FX, but they don’t sound like they’re from the Pacific Northwest. They do sound like they’re from another era.
This is a continuation of where The Cure or the Cocteau Twins (good Cure and good Cocteau Twins) left off a few decades ago. You’ll recognize it immediately in the jangly guitars and the warbly, buttery vocals from frontwoman Mary Jane Dunphe. Unfortunately, the band has only this four song EP to their name, for now.
The above song, “The One to Wait”, is the shining highlight. This song is SO good. Please give it a listen by clicking play, above. I’ve listened to this song nearly every day since I first heard it a couple months ago. There are other good songs on the EP as well — “Venetian Screens” is almost as good as “The One to Wait.” And while the EP only has four songs, it leaves me hopeful that CCFX will go on to produce a fantastic debut album in the coming year.
26. Woodstock by Portugal. The Man
27. MASSEDUCTION by St. Vincent
28. On the Spot by Hot 8 Brass Band
29. A Deeper Understanding by The War on Drugs

The Outlander – Book Review
By Wendy in Books, Five-Ten Star Books, Main Page
The girl stood in her ditch under a a hard, small moon. Pale foam rose from where her shoes sank into mud. No more voices inside her head, no noise but these dogs. She saw her own course along the ground as a trail of bright light, now doused in the ditchwater. She clambered up the bank and onto a road, her stiff funeral skirt made of bedspread and curtain, her hair wild and falling in dark ropes about her face. The widow gathered up her shawl and fled witchlike down the empty road. -From The Outlander, page 4-
Gil Adamson’s debut novel – The Outlander – will create instant fans and, I predict, hit the bestseller lists when it is released in April 2008. The novel opens with a nineteen year old woman fleeing from search dogs after she has murdered her husband. Set in 1903 among the mountain ranges of Western Canada, the novel is breathtaking in its scope and mesmerizing in its detail. Full of suspense, it had me turning the pages long into the night…and I was sorry to see the novel end; although I believe Adamson has deftly written the ending to allow for a sequel.
Adamson’s writing is a mix of Diana Gibaldan and Cormac McCarthy. She expertly creates setting which places the reader into the story and supplies a cast of characters who come alive on the pages. Mary Boulton, the self-made widow, quickly becomes a character the reader relates to – an unlikely character to evoke sympathy at first, but one who the reader gows to love. Along with Mary are such memorable personalities as: the red-haired twins (Mary’s persistent brother-in-laws), the Reverend Bonnycastle (a pastor who believes in boxing as a way to preach the word), Charlie McEchern (the dwarf with a head for business), the Cregan brothers (charming felons, cattle rustlers and horse thieves), Giovanni (the Italian giant with the gift of brewing whiskey), and finally The Ridgerunner … a man who needs no one, until he meets Mary.
This novel has it all – gorgeous scenery, a tantalizing plot, great characters and a sprinkling of romance. I will be watching for more Adamson novels…and, yes, hoping for that sequel!

Systematic Review of Non-Conventional Dosing of Oral Anticancer Therapies in Malignant Haematology

Survival outcomes for patients with lymphoid, myeloid and plasma cell malignancies, have improved with the use of oral small molecule inhibitory agents. Oral anti-cancer therapies are often administered continuously and can have significant side-effects, which can adversely impact adherence, quality of life (QoL) and survival outcomes. In order to improve tolerability, non-standard dosing strategies are increasingly adopted in clinical practice; although, with limited guidance. A systematic review was conducted to identify evidence of, and outcomes from, non-conventional dosing of oral anti-cancer therapy in malignant haematology.
A comprehensive search of all oral anti-cancer therapy listed in the British National Formulary for use to treat haematological malignancies was undertaken using the following databases: MEDLINE®, EMBASE®, and Cochrane Library©, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL©). The search was expanded using prospective citation chaining in the Web of Science and retrospective snowballing of reference lists of included studies to ensure a sensitive, comprehensive search. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria, and were critically appraised. Extracted data were tabulated to summarise key findings, which were analysed by type of non-dosing strategy: dose interruption; dose reduction; and other dosing strategies.
Eleven studies were included and reviewed: two late phase clinical trials, four cohort studies, and five case reports. Findings from each included study (aim, design, treatment schdeule, reported efficacy/toxicty/QoL outcomes) are presented in the accompanying Table 1. These studies evaluated non-standard dosing of dasatinib, imatinib, lenalidomide and thalidomide. Four studies were conducted in Italy, four in the US, and one in Brazil, South Korea and UK. Dose reductions were the most commonly reported strategy (five studies). Two studies reported dose interruptions and four reported other dosing strategies. The quality of the studies ranged from moderate to high (e.g. clinical trials) to moderate to low (e.g. case reports).
Russo et al (2015) conducted a single arm, open-label trial, in which the use of one month on/one month off schedule of imatinib was investigated in 96 CML patients aged ≥65 years. Although this trial did not report toxicity or QoL outcomes, there were no transformations (progressions) of CML to an accelerated or blast phase of disease using this alternative schedule. Therefore, results do not draw definitive conclusions that intermittent treatment can be offered to optimal and stable responders. However, they indicate a role for alternative treatment schedules tailored to individual patients, particularly those experiencing significant toxicities.
Mangiacavalli et al (2012) investigated efficacy and adverse effects of a one-week interruption of thalidomide following daily administration for three weeks, compared to continuous therapy. Limited patient numbers (13 vs. 10) prevented this trial from obtaining definitive data regarding efficacy, but there was a trend for worse overall survival (OS, p< 0.001) and progression free survival (PFS, p=0.02) in the intermittent arm compared to the continuous one, with no difference in peripheral neuropathy.
Dose reduction was reported in two imatinib retrospective cohort studies and three case reports (2 dasatinib, 1 imatinib). Results were inconclusive, primarily due to limitations in the design of the studies, small sample sizes and lack of detail in reporting toxicities and QoL outcomes. Lenalidomide was investigated in two small prospective cohort studies using alternate-day dosing in myelodysplastic syndrome and multiple myeloma. Toxicity outcomes were only reported in the myeloma study and QoL outcomes were reported in neither study.
This review identified limited evidence to support non-standard dosing strategies in malignant haematology. Imatinib dose interruption in optimally responsive CML patients warrants further investigation in large-scale, prospective, ideally blinded trials.

Chauncey's DeVega's World of Ghetto Nerds: YouTube Discoveries--Classic Howard Stern from WWOR-TV
The fun of having a blog is that I can amuse myself, sounds naughty huh? Growing up in Connecticut, I have fond memories of WWOR-TV Channel 9 from New Jersey. This station was ahead of its time and featured early Morton Downey Junior, The Richard Bey show (I think that was the title) which had a recurring Mr. Puniverse and Miss Thunderthighs competition that was indescribably funny, and Howard Stern's first television show. I don't know why Stern's early TV work isn't available on DVD but he was routinely demolishing Saturday Night Live in the ratings. Thanks to the goodness of YouTube these early classics are finally being made available.
Here is a sample.
One of my favorites--Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island fame...and it features a clip of him having sex in one of his first movie roles:
Howards Stern's Hooker Howiewood squares clip 1
Richards Simmons and his obese guests brought to near tears by Howard's antics
"Gilligan's" Island:
Al Lewis aka Grandpa from The Munsters:
"Out of the Closest Munsters"--a spoof of the Munsters:
The greatest clip of them all--Howard Stern in blackface as Clarence Thomas:
Part 2 is better than the first as Howard, still in Clarence Thomas blackface, interviews the Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Offensive of course, but absolutely hysterical.

The Bodyke Evictions: Orators and Agitators
The Clare Journal, 6 June, 1887
The Emergency Men Scalded
The evicting party made an early start on Friday morning, and reached Bodyke at half past nine o’clock. They at once proceeded to the house of James Lyddy, father of one of the tenants evicted on Thursday, and, immediately they approached, the soldiers fixed bayonets and a hollow square was formed round the house. As on Thursday the barricading was not minded, and, by the orders of Captain Croker, the gable end of the house was attacked. A breach was soon made, but the Emergency men were immediately assailed with boiling water, and several of their bodies were scalded. After deliberation, a concentrated rush was made on the breach. This time the craft managed to enter, but Captain Croker was saturated with more boiling water. Immediately the screams of women and the noise of a struggle were heard inside. Mr Norman, of the “Pall Mall Gazette,” on the part of the remaining representatives of the Press, asked for permission to enter, but was refused. Mr Norman at once wired a protest to Mr Stead. The representatives of the press had each to obtain a permit from Col Turner to enable them to pass inside the cordon. Mr Michael Davitt was offered a permit, but refused it, stating that he would accept no permission whatever from the representative of England’s Government who were carrying out these evictions.
The eviction having been carried out, a move was made towards the house of Martin McNamara; he holds six acres; old rent, £14 7s; judicial rent, £10; the tenant has eight children. This house being also barricaded, the emergencymen proceeded to break a hole in the end of the domicile; when a small opening had been effected McNamara struck a bailiff with some filth. For this he was subsequently arrested. Mr Davitt at once interposed, and, addressing Colonel Turner, said—“If one is arrested I will insist on the arrest of the other for attempt to murder.” The accusation referred to the fact that when an emergencyman had worked a hole in the wall he shot the crowbar violently through. Colonel Turner said attention would be given to the matter, and Mr Davitt thanked him. Father Murphy said that McNamara went to bed supperless last night, but this morning a good Englishman gave him two guineas for them. This eviction having been carried out Michael Hussey’s house was reached. The holding consists of 20 acres; valuation, £18; old rent, £40; judicial, £24. This man has four sons and two daughters. Relatives and friends of the tenant had clambered on the roofs of the dwelling and outhouses, and from their lofty position defied the sheriff and his men. The house being fortified the crowbars were brought to bear on one end of the gable, and in a short time a large opening was made, but just as the bailiffs were about entering they were deluged with hot or dirty water, and had to beat a retreat. At this there was great cheering, mingled with groans for the Sheriff.
The bailiffs again approached the breach, but were again repulsed with dirty water. But quite unexpectedly bottles and other missiles were flung out of the house, a daughter of the tenant being very demonstrative in this respect. One of the bottles struck a policeman on the hand wounding him rather seriously. Water was again thrown, and coming on Captain Croker he responding by taking up a crowbar and working at the wall himself. Blocks of timber were also thrown out, and for a moment the sub-sheriff and his bailiffs had to desist. Colonel Turner now turned his attention to the matter, and directed four constables to cover with their rifles the window from which the missiles were being thrown. The order was at once carried out, and something like consternation was produced. Mr Davitt protested strongly against the action of the police and the authorities. The men on the houses floated handkerchiefs on sticks by way of triumph. As the sub-sheriffs and the bailiffs were going round to the other end of the gable, another bottle was flung out by Margaret Hussey. At this point it seemed as if the police were going to fire. Mr Davitt again interfered, and a clergyman going up to Colonel Turner said—“There is no justification in firing at the people for throwing bottles.” Colonel Turner did not reply to the observation, but ordered the gentleman outside the lines. The young woman having again appeared at the window arch with a bottle in her hand, Father Murphy warned her in. A man, however, soon assumed the same position, and being about to throw a bottle at a bailiff, the police presented their rifles, a painful suspense ensuing. Then four constables and two soldiers kept their rifles at the present during the remainder of the exciting proceedings. By this time Captain Croker and the bailiffs had wrought havoc with the other end of the gable, and the whole gable eventually gave way, and then Captain Croker, two bailiffs, and two policemen made a rush over the debris to the door of a room in the upper part of the house which was exposed to view. They were repulsed twice with dirty water, but in the third attempt got into the house, and the occupants were ejected. The three sons and one daughter, and the mother were placed under arrest. The women were discharged on bail, but the men were retained in custody. Mrs MacNamara complained that a policeman, without any provocation, struck her on the hand with the butt end of his rifle, and again on the shoulder, knocking her down, and that she would have suffered very seriously but for the interference of another constable. One of her sons is in custody with a mark on his cheek. It is stated that a policeman named McDonough assaulted him also without any provocation. What was calculated upon as one of the most formidable items in the programme of defence and defiance was the letting loose of a hive of bees, but these took flight by the chimney. One of McNamara’s sons, who endeavoured to keep them down, was very severely stung. This young man was also arrested, but was subsequently released. This eviction having been also completed, it was announced that no others would be proceeded with and the military and police moved off, the soldiers being cheered, and the police and bailiffs and agents groaned.

Marvel Select Ultimate Wolverine
By Hervé St-Louis
The Marvel Select Ultimate X-Men Wolverine action figure captures the moment where the mutant betrayed Magneto so he could join Charles Xavier's X-Men quest for the peaceful cohabitation with humans. Although a very beautiful figure, some serious posing restrictions make the figure no more useful than a PVC figure or a statue, even for a Marvel Select figure.
Based on the Ultimate version of Wolverine, the figure has a pinch and sports the early uniform of this alternate universe. However, unlike the comic book, there are no black shoulder pads on the figure. Wolverine's haircut is more similar to that of the regular Marvel Universe character than the Ultimate version. In the Ultimate Universe, Wolverine's hair is not as spiked.
Wolverine's sculpt is excellent. It's probably one of the best available in any Wolverine action figure. The face borrowed a little bit from Hugh Jackman though. The canine teeth aren't animal-like unlike the comic book character. As Wolverine grits his teeth, seeing that would have been fun. Wolverine's back is hunched, but it doesn't diminish the sculpt's quality.
The paint job is good, like most Marvel Select action figures. There is shading on Wolverine's skin. Instead of being sculpted, they have painted the hair growth on his jaw. The brown paint on his shirt is not thick enough to cover the base colour of the plastic. There are so subdued grey highlights on his leotards. Of course, Wolverine's hair has highlights but instead of being the traditional black, it is brown.
Because it's a crouching figure, the Ultimate Wolverine will fit with most Marvel Legends and all Marvel Select action figures. He seems a little larger than a Marvel Legends figure, but he will do just fine. Of course he fits perfectly with the Magneto PVC figure that comes with the set.
Stability is a major issue with this figure. Toy Biz did not design the figure to be self standing. One can move around its legs and feet, but the center of balance is off. Putting the figure on the stand that comes with the Magneto figure is not a quick solution. The pegs, positions are not strategic. Even if one manages to tie both of Wolverine's feet on the pegs, he will look awkward. This is the main design flaw of this set.
The figure's articulations are tricky and often useless. There are 20. Marvel Select experimented with new articulations but it doesn't always work. There's double articulations at the thighs, but they don't help the figure's posing nor its stability. The double ankle joints are more useful, but not much. Other than that, the head is ball-jointed and there are articulations at the shoulders, biceps, waist, forearms, wrists and calves.
Toy Biz has mixed two types of plastic. The torso is in hollow brittle plastic, while other parts, such as the head, the arms and the legs are in soft PVC. There is a problem with Toy Biz's control quality. There's damage in much of the PVC area, as if the plastic had contained air bubbles that exploded. One expects better from such an expensive action figure.
While putting the Wolverine figure on the base with the Magneto insert is a close approximation of the comic book scene in the Ultimate X-Men comic book, it's not exactly similar. It's impossible to make Magneto look directly at Wolverine, though his head is articulated.
There are no props in this set, but the Magneto PVC insert is cool enough. He's on the ground after Wolverine has slashed his guts, as in the comic book. His face looks too stoic for someone who's almost was gutted. Even the posing of his left hand on the ground make the whole scene look more theatrical than real. The helmet is glued on his head. His head has a ball joint articulation.
The figure's packaging is the usual big Marvel Select Blister pack with artwork inspired from the comic books.
This figure has the same retail price than other Marvel Select action figures. It is more than double the price of a Marvel Legends action figure. Although distributed exclusively by Diamond Comics, its price is not the same everywhere. Buyers beware.
This figure is exclusive to Diamond Select. It was very popular when released. However the limited articulation may limit this set's appeal. Since there are so many Wolverine action figures available already, this one is not essential have. Of course a better Magneto action figure was released earlier by Marvel Legends. For the time being, don't expect shortages.

Tournament to Honor Publication of Chess Progress
Rockford's Erik Czerwin has been a regular at DeKalb tournaments for a few years now. Coach Czerwin was named the Illinois Chess Coaches Association's Coach of the Year a couple years back when he was at Marengo High School. This is his second year teaching at Rockford Guilford High School -- and the first season he will coach a team there.
In his abundant free time, Coach Czerwin has written a remarkable book which is being released in the United States this month by Everyman Press. In honor of its release.the DeKalb Chess Club will be hosting a day of tournament chess for everyone on Saturday, Sept. 13.
33 Advanced Registered for 4th Orwell - Four sections strong!
Registrations have been solid for the 4th Orwell Memorial as of the deadline for early registration.
But in order to assure the deepest field of players possible, I am willing to extend the early registration discount through 11:59pm Friday for anyone who includes a line from any George Orwell novel along with their USCF ID # and an indication which section they wish to play.
Furthermore, ICA members will receive the early registration discount even if they just show up on tournament day (registration ends at 8:45am).
Hope to see you early Saturday!
Orwell Memorial Registrations Now Open - June 28th Looms
After nearly a six-month hiatus from USCF-rated tournaments, the DeKalb Chess Club is proud to host the next stop on the 2014 Illinois Chess Tour.
For the fourth year, the DeKalb club is observing the birthday of the author of Animal Farm and 1984 (born 6/25/1903). Legend has it, that Eric Blair (before he adopted his epic pen name) played chess between customers at a London bookshop where he worked as a young man.
Once again the Orwell will feature comfortable playing conditions, relatively long time controls (Game/60 plus a 5-second delay) and competitive sections, Open, Under 1600 and Under 1200. As usual with DeKalb tournaments, the TD reserves the option of re-arranging sections depending upon registrations received in order to assure the most equitable sections for the greatest number. Requests to "play up" will be considered because many players enjoy challenging themselves with tougher competition than their current rating may dictate.
Updated: We now have enough interest to offer an Under 800 section (with an additional prize available for the top scorer rated U600). The time control for the U800 will be Game 30 (with no delay) and there will be five rounds instead of four as in the other sections. The first round will get going shortly after 9am when the other sections start, but you should try to register by 8:45am. The U800 will finish up in the middle of the afternoon, but if family members are playing in the main event, we will offer activities to keep participants busy until the other sections conclude.
In addition to the section prizes, there are usually at least one "Under Prize" in each section to recognize the players who are lower-rated when the day begins. So pretty much everyone is in contention for some prize until usually at least the third round.
Because of travel and the early start time, 1/2 point byes are available for the FIRST round only. (Second round should start around 11:15 am.)
A flyer for the tournament can be downloaded here.
Registrants so far (updated 6/19/14): [33 confirmed so far, several more maybes, 36-40 entries projected]
Open: (8-12) Rudy P, Jason D, James C., Chelsea, Aaron M., Adam B, Tom B., James D.
Reserve: (14-16) Erik C, Cliff A, Elijah P., Arnold O., Luis M (unr), Jonathan G., David B., Aidan C, Arthur X., Joey B. William L, Archit, Don, Bill B., John (?)
Booster: (5-8) Scott D., Gary S., Charlie H, Paul S., James F.,
U800: (6-8) Bryce L., Jeremiah D.. Lori B., Ben B., Reese, Nathan (?), Alex, Ryan (?)
No Tournament Today
At one time it was hoped that we would be hosting a tournament today, March 1. Due to health issues that is not possible. No formal announcement was placed, but apparently at least one person remembers that I had hoped to hold a tournament today. I apologize for the confusion.
No other date has been set up for any tournaments but check back here soon.
All Systems Go for 2014 Illinois Kick-off in DeKalb
A little snow never hurt anyone... and despite the weather, DeKalb will be the site of the first rated tournament games in Illinois during 2014.
Preceded by a blitz event this morning, the official kick-off event should get underway after registration from noon-12:30pm. For late-arrivers, a first round bye is available (1/2 point). Time controls will be a unique 20 minutes plus 14 second delay in honor of the new year. Each round is anticipated to last around an hour with a steady variety promised for the day. Drive safely -- and castle early!

SKorea halts anti-North border broadcasts
South Korea has broadcast anti-North propaganda across the border since the Pyongyang’s fourth nuclear test in early 2016. (Lim Tae-hoon/Newsis via AP)
A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Daily Star on April 24, 2018, on page 10.

Historic events
South Korea halted anti-North Korea propaganda broadcasts across their tense border Monday as officials from the two countries met again to work out details of their leaders' upcoming talks, expected to focus on the North's nuclear program.
Yonhap earlier reported that some North Korean broadcasts were sporadically heard in the South Monday morning.
South Korean defense officials said they couldn't immediately confirm the status of the North's broadcasts.
Kim is to hold separate talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in May or early June in what would be the first North Korea-U.S. summit.
U.S. officials have said they want the North to complete full nuclear disarmament.

Expecting Mothers
EXPECTING MOTHERS struggle with access to quality information and care for their newborns. This contributes to a high number of infant deaths worldwide - as many as 2.8 million in 2013 - within the first 28 days of life.
Informing women of how to care for their newborn properly – for example, proper care to prevent umbilical cord infections which account for ~13% of neonatal deaths – is crucial to infants' survival. Expectant mothers from peri-urban and rural areas often have minimal access to health facilities and antenatal clinics. Even in cases where such facilities are accessible the behavior of these women during pregnancy is influenced greatly by where they live, their families, their education and traditional socio-cultural beliefs; for example roughly two thirds of Nigerian pregnant women birth at home, either with the assistance of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) or caregivers drawn from their families and friends.
Meet Uwem, 30, Nigeria. Uwem has been married for 12 years and is pregnant with her fourth child. Her husband works in the city as a laborer and visits one or two times per month. She sells produce from her small farm at the local market to supplement their income. One of her friends is greatly respected for giving birth to 3 children with no assistance. She prefers going to a TBA (traditional birth attendant), or relying on friends and family for delivery and childcare advice.
“I don’t need much help now as it’s my fourth child.” - Uwem, Nigeria
To understand Uwem and her challenges better, we mapped her network of relationships and influencers. Synthesized from insights from interviews, observations, and community visits, this map shows the relationships and systems that influence her, her birthing and purchasing decisions, as well as her newborn care practices:
CHALLENGE #1 - Expecting mothers struggle to make well-informed critical decisions in the first days of life for their newborn.
"Some women are not sure when they need to come to the clinic and we don’t want them to go to a chemist instead. Many still lack information on how to decide between traditions and ensuring their health." - CHEW, Kuchigoro
Driving Demand for Chlorhexadine: A toolkit to raise awareness and drive demand for proper care practices in the first days of a child’s life. Nigeria has the second highest number of neonatal deaths in the world. Neonatal sepsis, combined with meningitis and tetanus, is estimated to be the third largest cause of neonatal mortality. The majority of these deaths could be averted through simple preventative practices such as clean skin and cord care given that poor hygiene during the first week of life significantly increases the risk of deadly infections. Current cord care practices in Nigeria are deeply entrenched in history and culture. DIG, along with our partner’s at USAID’s Center for Innovation and Impact (CII), conducted research in rural Nigeria to develop a toolkit for health systems -- in Nigeria and globally -- to drive demand for Chlorhexidine, an antiseptic used to treat the umbilical cord of newborn babies.
Behavioral Change Messaging: Encouraging the switch from current cord care substances to chlorhexidine by devising unique value propositions targeted to the population. We looked to the simple metaphor that chlorhexidine is a protectant just as in another commonly-found scenario in the community. For example, we developed a visual message based on a Yoruba proverb that compared fences which protect crops from animals to chlorhexidine protecting babies from infection.
Visual storytelling: Use of images, illustrations and photos to enhance existing tools, such as a ‘birth list’, or develop new ones. Images in the form of illustrations or photos are likely to be a valuable addition to the oral and written strategies currently used. Integration of chlorhexidine into the daily routine of caring for a newborn suggests the value of instructions that go beyond simply how to apply the gel. The addition of illustrations and images expands the relevance to the illiterate and semi-literate.
Service Design: A number of community-level concepts emerged from our time spent co-designing interventions with Nigerian communities. These concepts focused on ways to utilize the natural interactions within a community, particularly those in drug shops (PPP’s), with birth attendants, and in places where the general public and community leaders come together, for awareness and education about chlorhexidine.
Common Identifier: Design of a widely understood mark to signify chlorhexidine and its connection to cord care in newborns. As more chlorhexidine products enter the Nigerian market, messaging and packaging will become increasingly complicated as each manufacturer markets their product with its own unique name and brand. This insight led us to consider common identifiers - similar names, graphics, and marks shared across chlorhexidine products - that may address some of the issues around multiple brand identities.

CHALLENGE #2 - Expecting mothers need continuous access to informed medical advice over the course of the antenatal and postnatal periods.
“Many people still lack information on how to decide between holding on to cultural traditions and ensuring their health and safety.” – Midwife, Amechi Idodo
Exploring Application of Satellite-Delivered Health Content to Maternal Health Clinics: A model for bringing information into communities in support of new and expecting mothers. In peri-urban and rural communities in Nigeria, accurate information about maternal and child health is hard to come by for an expecting mother. Most women rely on traditional, intra-community channels such as word of mouth from friends or family, or community forums like the town crier, as a source of information. By leveraging the existing network of local, clinic-based medical professionals throughout Nigeria, we designed an information delivery service to bring the latest information and training content into information-poor communities, alongside our partners from the Praekelt Foundation.
Information Dissemination Strategy: Leveraging satellite technology to reach remote communities for low cost access to periodically-updated information from the web into communities that are otherwise cut off from ICT services. We took advantage of the human network and high-touch practice and training of local Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) to distribute this information into the community through a network hub at a select group of health clinics.
Content Media Library: Development of a library of existing content, prioritized for topics deemed most relevant and most impactful for local context, that can be cached and served locally over a wifi network at the clinic. Content is ideally presented through a variety of media, with emphasis on rich visual media such as video, which will address issues of language and literacy.
Digital Product Design: Creation of UX recommendations for a single digital product - an education and training module, designed for two distinct users: expecting mothers and healthcare workers.

Two Thousand Years of Philosophy
Travelling to Durham
The closest airport is Newcastle (NCL), which is almost always the most convenient too, although it can sometimes make sense to fly to Manchester (MAN) (a train to Durham goes straight from the airport), Edinburgh (EDI) or even Leeds (LBA).
From Newcastle airport it is a 40-minute taxi ride to Durham. It is also possible to take a Metro (suburban train) from the airport to Newcastle Central Station (25 minutes), and a train to Durham from there (12 minutes).
On the Metro ticket machines, select in turn: ‘A+B+C’, ‘adult’, ‘single’. The cost of a Metro ticket is £3.20. A one-way train ticket to Durham (buy at ticket machines at the station) currently costs £6.60.
Durham is on the East Coast railway line that runs between London (King’s Cross station) and Edinburgh, passing through Leeds along the way. (Note that King’s Cross is immediately next door to St Pancras International, the London Eurostar terminal.) The journey time between Durham and London is around 3 hours; between Durham and Leeds, 1.5 hours; between Durham and Edinburgh, 1.5 hours. For interactive timetables and advance ticket booking, go to www.thetrainline.com. (E-tickets are often available with their app, or you can collect paper tickets from machines at the station you designate – normally the station of departure.)
By car, take the A1(M), turn off on the A690 (Junction 62), and follow signs to Durham City Centre.
Some accommodation is available in Colleges of the University, especially out of term. The most central hotels are these (costs indicative only):
Durham Marriott Hotel Royal County (expect to pay around £150 p.n.)
Hotel Indigo (in the old central administrative building of the University, and the older Shire Hall) (around £100 p.n.)
Radisson Blu Hotel (around £100 p.n.)
Premier Inn (around £85 p.n.)
There are also local B&B options.

Covering Songs that Have Percussion
Thread starter DrummerCA35
DrummerCA35
So, I play in a 5 piece band. Bass/drums/keys/guitar/lead singer. Some of the songs we do have percussion intros (ie, bongos/congas/cowbell/etc).
One example is Joe Cocker's "Feelin' Allright" which of course has that conga and/or bongo thing with the piano intro. After some trial and error trying to simulate it on toms, or hi-hat or whatever, and just decided to play a funky beat over the intro. (Sort of similar to the feel of Levon Helm's "Cripple Creek" beat.) Yeah I know that sounds weird. Trying to simulate congas on the toms and/or tom rims never sounded right to me when I tried it and nor did I want to haul around a set of congas or bongos, if even portable ones. It seems to have worked out fine playing a funky beat.
Another example is "Rapper's Delight" which has the congas/cowbell percussion intro. Same thing- after trying it different ways, I play a funky beat incorcorating the cowbell. It seems to work fine, and we recorded our demo with me doing this.
Now we are considering the "Cheerleader" song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGflUbPQfW8 and this song has lots of congas, the beat is often just bass drum and conga with no snare (so it sound to me). Again I'm wondering what would sound best. Quarter notes on the bass drum and some rack toms/rims? Again, never had much luck simulating congas with rack toms. I've wondered about getting a set of those portable congas that are pretty much just the heads, but it's something else to lug....
Wondering what are some approaches you guys take when doing these kinds kinds of tunes when there is no percussionist in your band...
Macarina
But YOU are the percussionist.
I am finding these scenario's exciting and scary at the same time. In fact I have something very similar, but don't want to derail your thread.
My trying to accomplish something like this is sit behind the kit and just play the part over and over and play different parts of your kit. Play different beats.
I might go to youtube to see if someone has done something similar. Usually that's a whole lotta nothing, but ways to show you how NOT to play it. Maybe watch some live versions of the performance. I've seen a lot of bands take different approaches to classic songs and many times they are just as cool or better.
Hollywood Jim
I would use my snare drum with the snares turned off. Accented rim shots.
Listen to "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood. I realized that in this song the drummer probably uses a timbale,
but the snare drum with snares turned off will give you a very Latin, conga feel.
If I had to play a lot of songs that needed conga and bongos, I'd get a digital pad and use electronic sounds.
Hollywood Jim said:
Great idea, I should have thought of this. Will try the snare drum with snares off/rimshots. Thank you!!
Macarina said:
Thanks for the ideas!
tcspears
This is what I usually do if I need to emulate something that's played on latin percussion. I'll turn the snare off and play with my hands (it might hurt at first, especially as you do rim shots to create different sounds), or sticks if I need a little more voume or punch. Playing the snare with your hands will allow you create many different sounds from the one drum, will cover the bongo/conga parts, and it looks pretty cool too!
tcspears said:
You guys rock! I don't think my hands would hold up doing this, BUT it occurs to me I could use "hand sticks" on a snare with the snares off: http://www.steveweissmusic.com/product/regal-tip-conga-sticks/multi-use-drum-sticks
Morrisman
I've often played the opening of "Feeling Alright" with my hands on the snare, snares off, conga style, including slaps and accents. Then I quickly pick up the sticks and switch on the snare for the lead-in to the chorus. This only works because we do the first verse quietly, just the piano riff, vocal and 'congas'.
On most other songs with percussion I just ignore the percussion, and the audience never seems to notice.
On a similar tack, our band has been learning the entire "Rumours" album by Fleetwood Mac, and there are clearly some drum overdubs in some songs - for example in "You make loving fun" the basic beat continues while there are low tom accents at odd times. I tried doing both, but it messes up the feel. I now just play the basic beat, perhaps with an extra kick or two, and again, no-one notices. They're all focused on the lead singer.
Another example is the cowbell in "Honky Tonk Woman" Does anyone play that as well as the drum beat, or do you get someone else in the band to play the cowbell for the intro?
Morrisman said:
Thanks for the ideas.
I used to play "Honky Tonk Woman." I used to try to play the cowbell with the left hand, mounted on the hi-hat stand. Along with everything else. I think I eventually just played a few bars of the cowbell alone and then dropped it. Our band plays "Blurred Lines." I've tried all kinds of combinations...cowbell with the right hand, along with snare/bass but not hats; trying to add the hats with the left hand, etc. I've seen videos online where guys pull off a great version of it. Our lead singer doesn't want to play the cowbell for that song. The last few times we played it out I just dropped the cowbell entirely and played the hats/bass/snare.

DrummerCA35 said:
My cover band plays Feelin alright. I play a conga beat on my 10 and 12" toms when the drum kit is not playing or is less prominent. In fact I start the song with the conga beat on the toms immediately following the previous song and the band gets into it when ready. It never fails to get heads bobbing and toes tapping with just that beat.
For me I listen to what is prominent. If it isa a cowbell or congas or whatever I try to emulate it with what I have at my disposal.
Matt Bo Eder
I play Honky Tonk Woman all the time and use cowbell throughout except during the chorus and guitar solo. I love nailing the intro like the record.
My band plays Feelin Alright and Honky Tonk. I've never tried the snare (with snares off) but will this week at practice. We play the "Traffic" version of the song which I don't think has congas or at least they aren't as prominent.
For Honky Tonk Woman, I play the cowbell pattern with my right and and keep 8th notes on the hats with my foot. As Bo said, the cowbell beat has to open this song up. Unmistakable
tcurtis
In my cover band, I've started incorporating electronics (spd-s) for the more involved percussion sections. Of course there's the hassle of ensuring it works throught the PA/House.
SmoothOperator
Rim shots with hands on a snare are surprisingly painless, in some ways it's easier than playing congas. If you are careful there is a little gap, where your knuckles never touch the rim or the head, where as with an unrimmed instrument your knuckles will always make contact. It helps to have the proper profile and curved rim, though. You might want to tune it higher to lower the rim.
Matt Bo Eder said:
Does that mean you are playing cowbell Instead of hi-hat for intro and verses? Or are you somehow playing both cowbell and hi-hat at the same time.
Also, do you speed up through the whole song like the record, or keep the tempo steady?
larryace
"Uncle Larry"
I feel the cowbell part makes that song and is essential, so I forego my HH during the whole song and just do the cowbell figure, even through the solo. The extra space and the simplicity of the part works well without a hi hat IMO.
But does your bass player lay out on the verses? Not many bass players lay out on the verses. Just like not many bass players play bass chords to "Red House".
Try snares off, cross sticking with your left hand. You can mess around with old bolero style stickings (double strokes, single strokes including rim shots, ping shots or various parts of the head or the rim itself). You can also switch how much damping you do to the head with your left hand. You may be surprised at how many diferent sounds you can get out of just your snare drum.
JustJames
You can't NOT have cowbell for the intro.
I play the intro cowbell pattern, and then switch to the hats for the rest of the song.
My band also plays Love Shack, and for that I play the cowbell in synch with the bass drum part in the verses. 1 - 3 - 1 - and-3 and so on.
And for songs that have a quiet ending...chimes baby, chimes!
Holden said:
Hi Jeff - yes, I am not playing the hi-hat when I'm playing the cowbell. There's enough going on with the other players that you don't really need to hear both the hi hat and the cowbell at the same time. The whole band is responsible for the groove so I let their parts happen without me further covering them up.
And no, I do not speed up throughout the song, I'm holding it steady all the way through. I might let it creep forward naturally, but for the most part I don't.

larryace said:
Just like not many bass players play bass chords to "Red House".
Isn't this the worst? This bass line is a giant pain to play, a real stretch over the fretboard, but such a cool part! And it works so well since the guitar playing "trades" with the vocals. Walking a basic blues is a corny-sounding substitute.
Our lead singer doesn't want to play the cowbell for that song. The last few times we played it out I just dropped the cowbell entirely and played the hats/bass/snare.
Here's hoping you'll get to drop the entire tune!
But seriously, if you do "invent" a part, in order to copy percussion parts (which is often necessary), don't forget that other players may also alter their parts, in which case, your well-copied groove may not work so well, musically. Be prepared to let it go if necessary, and play the hand you're dealt.
Btw, playing your snare with your hands, as you would a conga, is going to be quiet compared to sticks.

Michael Jung to ride elite eventer Chipmunk FRH
Julia Krajewski and Chipmunk FRH.
© FEI/Liz Gregg
By Equestrian Life
Top event rider Michael Jung has a new horse in his stable — the 11-year-old gelding Chipmunk FRH.
The horse was formerly ridden by fellow German rider Julia Krajewski, who produced the horse from a four year old through to the elite level. The pair had six years together, after which the contract with the owner ended and unfortunately the horse had to be sold. Julia and Chipmunk enjoyed many wins at 3* (now 4*) level, with some of the most recent wins being Aachen CICO3*, Bramham CCI3* and Marbach CIC3*.

Michael Jung is understandably excited to take on such a good horse, and made the following statement on his Facebook page:
“As it probably has been read yesterday, I have a new top horse in the stable.
When I was informed at the end of last year that Chipmunk could not stay with Julia, but there was the opportunity to hold him for Germany and myself, I tried to achieve this.
In the end, I owe it to the support of many sponsors and my great partner Fischer. It's for me something new to get a "finished" horse… I thank Julia for the great years of training and I'm curious what Chip and I can expect over the next few years.”

Telecoms industry calls for Europe-wide network testing regime
The telecoms industry has called on European governments to join mobile operators in establishing a testing regime to protect network security without having to resort to the disruptive step of excluding vendors from the market, Reuters reports.
The initiative by the GSMA, which represents 800 operators worldwide, comes as the United States steps up pressure on its allies to ban China’s Huawei on national security grounds.
Operators warn that such a step would disrupt the supply of equipment, increase costs to them and their customers, delay the rollout of next-generation 5G services by years and potentially hobble existing networks.
“Such significant consequences, intended or not, are entirely avoidable,” the GSMA said in a statement issued just over two weeks before it hosts its annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The industry fest, to be attended by more than 100,000 visitors, is also expected to feature a closed-door discussion of telecoms CEOs of the risks to the industry that would arise if governments ban Huawei, sources said.
The GSMA said it was assembling a task force of European operators to identify ways to enhance existing testing regimes run by individual operators, by third-party laboratories or in partnership with 3GPP, the 5G standardization body.
It recommended that governments and mobile operators work together to agree on an assurance and testing regime for Europe “so that it ensures confidence in network security while maintaining competition in the supply of network equipment.”
Biggest step
The initiative parallels similar calls by Europe’s largest mobile operator, Deutsche Telekom, to strengthen Germany’s testing and compliance regime without having to resort to a blanket ban on Chinese vendors.
It also marks the biggest step by the industry to avert a repeat of Australia’s ban on Huawei – the networks leader with a global market share of 28 percent – following US warnings that its equipment could come with “back doors” that would expose it to cyber espionage.
Washington has also argued that Chinese vendors are subject to a National Intelligence Law that requires organizations and citizens to collaborate in espionage efforts.
The European Union is considering proposals that would amount to a de facto ban on Huawei, senior officials say, adding to mounting international pressure on the Shenzhen-based company.
Huawei has denied the US claims, while European operators argue there is no evidence to suggest that the Huawei equipment they use in their networks has ever been used for nefarious ends.
There is a great deal at stake. The GSMA estimates that mobile operators will invest between US$300 billion and US$500 billion by 2025 in the rollout of 5G services that range from connected factories to super-fast broadband internet services.
“As European policy makers consider ways to further secure network infrastructure, we urge them not to lose focus on all relevant policy objectives – security, competition, innovation and consumer impact,” the GSMA said.
“This requires a fact-based and risk-based approach.”

elmerfishing.com - A lot of years on the Internet!
Since we released our first version of the Elmer-web in 1999, it has changed both technical backbone as well as the layout few times.
Version 1.0 - Elmer logo created and hosting at Spray
The first version of the web was made by Roger. Uffe helped out and created the Elmer logo. In this time we didn’t have any internet domain registered and was hosting the site on a free web hosting company called Spray. Even in those old days, we did have the sections for EFC (Elmer Fishing Contest) and Photos.
Version 2.0 - Site on flash and more fly-tying
Then we signed up Uffe as a volunteer webmaster in mid 2002 and took out version 2 of the web. Shortly after, we did register elmerfishing.com as our main internet domain. Since Uffe was then experimenting very much in Macromedia Flash, the version of the site was created using Flash. In this version we started to focus more about general fly fishing stuff and outdoors and not so much about the Elmer fishing club. Sections like fishing trips, fly tying and the Chef's Corner was introduced.
Version 3.0 - HTML again and Outdoor section introduced
After the summer of 2004 we introduced version 3. Uffe was still the one to manage the site and now we went back to a HTML-based backbone. In this release we introduced a complete new section about Outdoor that Björn took responsibility for. We also extended the fly tying section and added more articles from our fishing trips.
Version 4.0 - CMS-system and Board Forum
In 2005, the web was rebuilt by Björn using a CMS-system called Mambo that later was migrated to Joomla. In this release we had support for Multilanguage, but most of the material was still in Swedish. We added video content; a lot more fly tying patterns and also introduced a Board Forum for all of our visitors to join up in discussions about fly fishing and outdoors. The number of visitors of the site increased heavily compared to the old days and people from all around the world joined up in the forum.
Version 5.0 - English site with new Joomla release
In 2011, the site was upgraded to a newer technical backbone using Joomla 1.5. The site now uses English as the main publishing language.
Version 6.0 - New Joomla release and skipping forum
In the very start of 2013, the site was upgraded to Joomla 3.0. Photo and Video gallery was improved with better players and support for mobile devices was improved. The elmerfishing forum was deleted due to very low interest and activity.

The best Prime Day 2019 deals so far
Microsoft blocks May 2019 Windows update on the Surface Book 2
Google Glass KitKat update lands ahead of tomorrow's big sale, removes video calling
Richard Lawler, @Rjcc
Still need a push to drop $1,500 on Google's Glass headset when they go on sale to all US residents tomorrow? After skipping a couple of months, the team behind it is pushing a big software update later this week that lets it run the freshest version of Android and adds a bunch of new features. Other than switching to Android Kit Kat -- which will bring new features to apps and let developers use the latest SDK -- Glass is now organizing photos in bundles (think Instagram photo grids, look after the break for a peek) for easier scrolling, allows for photo replies in Google Hangouts, makes it easier to send feedback and even sorts voice commands to put your most-used ones at the top.
Unfortunately, there's also one feature that has been removed in this update -- video calling. According to the Glass team that's based on wearer feedback and since less than 10 percent of people were using it, the feature is gone until they (or someone else working on Glassware) can make it better. It's not all bad news though, because a longer, complete list of new features is promised for the Explorers community -- hit the how to buy page at 9AM ET tomorrow to join the club.
Update: The new software is rolling out, and there are more features included, like Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy support, which should enhance battery life for the headsets. It can also sync known WiFi networks with all of your Android devices, play Instant Mixes from Google Play Music and give you a better idea of what's causing any networking issues. We also have another feature that's been removed in this edition, Song Search. The team is also blaming that one on low usage, so wearers may have to wait for Glassware from the likes of Shazam or Soundhound to say "What's that song?" and get an answer.

US Army shows how it will use HoloLens in the field
That's not necessarily going to assuage critics of military tech, though.
Jon Fingas, @jonfingas
04.06.19 in Wearables
When Microsoft employees balked at the company's $479 million HoloLens contract with the US Army, it raised a question: just what would this system look like? You now have a better idea. The Army has given CNBC an early demo of its Integrated Visual Augmentation System, which uses a modified HoloLens 2 to provide both combat assistance and training. It reportedly feels like a "real-life game of Call of Duty" -- you can see your squad's positions on a map, a compass, and even your weapon's reticle. Thermal imaging would help you see in the dark without as much of a telltale glow as existing night vision headsets.
In training, IVAS can also provide data to improve performance, such as a wearer's gaze and heart rate. Instructors could coach soldiers on their aim or room-clearing techniques, for instance.
The existing HoloLens 2 is currently too big to work with existing helmets. However, one Army leader expected a sunglasses-sized unit inside of six months. We wouldn't count on that (it'd likely involve moving many components to outside the helmet or the soldier's body), but development on IVAS has only been going on for a few months. "Thousands and thousands" of soldiers could be using IVAS by 2022 and 2023, Under Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy said, with a wider deployment by 2028.
The demo was clearly meant to sell people on the concept and allay the concerns of those who see this as twisting peaceful technology into a destructive tool. Unsurprisingly, McCarthy doesn't perceive it that way -- he argued to CNBC that the improved battlefield awareness could minimize civilian casualties. One of the soldiers involved in the test also said this really amounted to consolidating "multiple systems" that can only handle some of what IVAS does. Microsoft isn't likely to shy away from defending the contract, then.
However, this doesn't really change some of the core objections from Microsoft's staff and other critics. Part of their issue is simply that Microsoft committed to a military project without any input. The showcase may take some of the sinister edge off the technology, but it's not going to give workers a say.

Home > News > Retailer News > Spar Receives Global Recognition For Plastic Initiative
SPAR Eastern Cape achieved global recognition for their commitment to reducing plastic pollution when they received an award at the SPAR International Conference last month.
SPAR receives global recognition for plastic initiative
Issued by Fullstop Communications - Dec 14th 2018, 09:27
The conference in Amsterdam in the Netherlands went under the banner of the SPAR International Responsible Retailing Forum and brought managers from around the world to share ideas and best-practice examples.
SPAR EC managing director Conrad Isaac accepted the award on behalf of the company and said it was gratifying to have received such recognition.
He was quick to add, though, that their Stop Plastic campaign, which was launched in April to eliminate the single-use of plastic bags, was not about earning awards.
“Our mission is to create awareness about the dangers to the environment of plastic pollution,” he said.
“We are doing this because it is the right thing to do. I equate it to playing sport – if you play well, the scoreboard will take care of itself."
“So this campaign is not about awards but about playing the game well and we feel are on the right track.”
Isaac was referring to the fact that from the launch of the Stop Plastic campaign on April 6 until the end of September they had sold three million fewer plastic bags than over the same period last year.
“If you had asked me before our campaign started what we would achieve, I would never have expected to reach a number of three million."
“So that is really encouraging and obviously our aim now is to keep adding to that. Every single plastic bag less that we sell means a better future for us all.”
He said the Stop Plastic campaign placed them at the forefront among SPAR retailers worldwide in the forum of responsible retailing.
“Many people at the forum have no idea where Port Elizabeth or the Eastern Cape even is, but from a SPAR Africa point of view we are leading the way and from a SPAR international perspective we are certainly among the leaders in the 41 countries where we retail."
“Many of the other regions are well advanced in trying to limit issues such as carbon emissions, but it is great to be recognised. In terms of what we are trying to achieve, we don’t have to stand back for anyone."
“We are top of the pile when it comes to focusing on the reduction of single-use plastics and for creating awareness about the impact plastic pollution is having on the environment.”
Both Isaac and SPAR EC advertising manager Roseann Shadrach paid tribute to the SPAR customers for their support of the Stop Plastic campaign.
“We have made phenomenal progress and the big thing is that our customers have bought into the concept,” said Isaac.
“But we have just scratched the surface and there are still some challenges ahead, mainly about continuing the education process of changing people’s shopping habits."
“There is definite support from the public and we want everyone to know that this is not a marketing gimmick – it’s about the future of the world.”
Shadrach felt the recognition they received in getting the award would provide impetus for the public to maintain their support.
“At the beginning of the campaign we wondered how we were going to get the message across to make the public environmentally savvy,” she said.
“Our customers have really come on board and have assisted us in receiving this recognition."
“We believe this will provide renewed incentive for them to carry on supporting the Stop Plastic campaign and there will be renewed respect for the initiative."
“This will enable both us and our customers to elevate what we are currently doing to another level.”

Domicile Definition:
The permanent residence of a person; a place to which, even if he or she were temporary absent, they intend to return.
Related Terms: Permanent Resident, Habitual Residence, Abode, Dwelling, Ordinarily Resident
Sometimes spelled domicil (especially in old English).
In law, it is said that a person may have many residences but only one domicile.
See also habitual residence.
The definition of domicile has vexed jurists for centuries. In Whicker v Hume, Justice Cranworth described it by way of an illustration:
"From which you cannot be separated if nothing removes you. When you depart from them, you are seen as a stranger."
In that same case, Justice Wensleydale offered:
"One very good definition (of domicil) is habitation in a place with the intention of remaining there for ever, unless some circumstance should occur to alter his intention."
In Lord v Colvin, Justice Kindersley wrote:
"That place is properly the domicil of a person in which he has voluntarily fixed the habitation of himself and his family, not for a mere special or temporary purpose, but with a present intention of making it his permanent home, unless and until something (which is unexpected or the happenning of which is uncertain) shall occur to induce him to adopt some other permanent home."
Other relevant statements of law:
"The place where a man lives is properly taken to be his domicile until facts adduced establish the contrary." [District of Columbia v. Murphy, 314 US 441 (Supreme Court of United States, 1941)].
"Domicile is not necessarily synonymous with residence, and one can reside in one place but be domiciled in another. For adults, domicile is established by physical presence in a place in connection with a certain state of mind concerning one's intent to remain there. One acquires a domicile of origin at birth, and that domicile continues until a new one (a domicile of choice) is acquired." [Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v. Holyfield, 490 US 30 (Supreme Court of United States, 1989)]
"Domicil is a compound of fact and law." [Sweeney v. District of Columbia, 113 F. 2d 25 (United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, 1940)].
"Domicile is the most steadfast of the words, and is pretty well anchored in legal literature so far as meaning is concerned. Residence, on the other hand, has an evasive way about it, with as many colors as Joseph's coat. It reflects the context in which it is found, whereas domicile controls the context. Residence is physical, whereas domicile is generally a compound of physical presence plus an intention to make a certain definite place one's permanent abode, though, to be sure, domicile often hangs on the slender thread of intent alone, as for instance where one is a wanderer over the earth. Residence is not an immutable condition of domicile." [Weible v. United States, 244 F. 2d 158 (United States Court of Appeals, 1957)]
"No exact definition can be given of domicile; it depends upon no one fact or combination of circumstances; but, from the whole taken together, it must be determined in each particular case. It is a maxim, that every man must have a domicile somewhere; and also that he can have but one. Of course it follows that his existing domicile continues until he acquires another; and, vice versâ, by acquiring a new domicile, he relinquishes his former one. From this view it is manifest that very slight circumstances must often decide the question." [Jones v. Saint John, 30 SCR 122 (Supreme Court of Canada, 1889) - adopting Thorndike v. Boston, 1 Met. 242.]
"Residence and domicile are two perfectly distinct things. It is necessary in the administration of the law that the idea of domicile should exist, and that the fact of domicile should be ascertained, in order to determine which of two municipal laws may be invoked for the purpose of regulating the rights of parties. We know very well that succession and distribution depend upon the law of the domicile. Domicile, therefore, is an idea of law. It is the relation which the law creates between an individual and a particular locality or country. To every adult person the law ascribes a domicile, and that domicile remains his fixed attribute until a new and different attribute usurps its place." [Bell v Kennedy, 1 Sc. App. 307; adopted in Wadsworth v. McCord, 12 SCR 466, Supreme Court of Canada, 1886)]
"Residence is not to be confounded with domicile; the latter usually means a man's home, and as a rule is not lost without an intention to abandon it and take up a new home. Naturalisation is one test. Our soldiers are still domiciled in Canada, although residents for the time being of England, France, or Saloniki, as the case may be." [Toronto Free Hospital for Consumptives v. City of Barrie, 34 D.L.R. 691 (Ontario Court of Appeal, 1917)]

I never liked lawyers as a class and to keep away from them and steer clear of their inveigling schemes and grasping machination - ever an active ingredient in their diabolical profession - has been my constant life-long effort. The incontrovertible facts in my case are these: there never was a better, all-round individual ever set foot upon the regions of this broad state than myself.

Matinha
Susana Anágua / Ana Romana
EDGE Projects
13-19 Herald Street Bethnal Green E2 6JT
Exhibition Dates | 17th March – 31st March 2017
Susana Anagua and Ana Romana collaborated to resolve the multi-faceted work, Matinha. It involved installing text in the abandoned gasometers of the site, recording aspects of the site and the text insitu, then filming a video incorporating images of the text within the specific location and broader views of the surrounding area.
In brief, the subject of the work is a now abandoned gas-works set within what was then, farmlands (1940s), on the outskirts of Lisbon along the River Targus. The artists researched accounts of the work environment as told by labourers in interviews by the company, upon closure of the industry. Various components of these interviews constitute the content of the text installed by the artists and form the basis of the voice-over of the video.
The work does not address a moral viewpoint on the effects of the industry on the socio-environmental context in which it existed, rather it seeks to remain as neutral as possible in the presentation – subtly reflecting the shifts in attitude and social or cultural practice over the time since the site was constructed during WW ll.
Susana Anágua lives and works between Lisbon and Rio de Janiero. She has a Masters degree in Digital Arts from the University of the Arts, London (Camberwell College of Arts). Selected exhibitions include: Cartography of Power, AfroBrasil Museum, Oca, Sao Paulo (2012); Olhar Radar, Rio de Janiero (2009); Desnorte/Northless Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisboa (2008); Carris Art in Motion, Glory Lift, Lisboa (2008); The Biennale of Sao Tome and Principe (2013). Residencies include OFFLINE in LARGO (Lisboa).
Ana João Romana lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal. She has an MA in printmaking from the Royal College of Art, London and is currently doing a PhD at Algarve University. She has exhibited regularly since 1996 - including Portugal, UK, Japan, Brazil, USA, China, Finland, Ireland and Dubai. She has received grants from Gulbenkian Foundation (Portugal), Artworks Wales (Wales), Pollock-Krasner Foundation (USA).

Man's hilarious idea to replace broken blind with long CVS receipt goes viral

LAKEWOOD, Oh ( FOX 5 DC ) - This man replaced a broken blind with a long CVS receipt and it's brilliant!
How many times have you gone to CVS and wound up with an obnoxiously long receipt? Kind of like that one D.C. woman who ended up with a 6-footer.
After skimming for Extra Care Bucks, because who doesn't love a few dollars off their next purchase, most people throw away their receipts. But one Twitter user got creative with his.
A tweet by andrewnolan2 has left the internet shook with his ingenious idea to use the receipt as a replacement for a broken blind in his home. Lo and behold it's even the same length as the rest of the blinds!
One of my blinds broke in my bedroom so I just went to CVS pic.twitter.com/0QghmXKZ7R

Who would have taught!? We sincerely applaud this guy's creativity-- he's a genius.
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) — Several thousands of Pepco customers are without power in Northeast D.C. following a large outage Monday night.
At 10:30 p.m., Pepco reported that nearly 7,000 customers were without power in the District. That number has dropped to around 2,300 at around midnight.
Pepco says the outage began at around 9:30 p.m. and was caused by an equipment issue at one of their substations.

CLINTON, Md. (FOX 5 DC) — Two county sources confirmed to FOX 5 that Amazon is planning to occupy a nearly 700,000 square-foot logistics center in Upper Marlboro at the Westphalia Town Center.
Monday night neighbors voiced their opinions on the warehouse, many opposing the project because it was outside the bounds of the shopping and amenities originally planned for the site near the Suitland Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue.
The developer, Walton and Duke Realty, which will own the property, held a question and answer session for the Westphalia Town Center homeowner's association.
Democratic congresswomen attacked by Trump call for impeachment
The four Democratic congresswomen of color who were the targets of President Donald Trump's racist tweets held a news conference on Monday on Capitol Hill after Trump doubled down on his comments earlier in the day.
U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., stood side by side at the podium.
"It is time for us to impeach this president" for "openly violating" his constitutional oath, Omar said.

This app includes a social story about how and why people tell jokes, and a simple visual/audio support for telling knock knock jokes. The story focuses on why it’s important to tell people jokes, why a joke is funny, and how you tell a joke.
The app opens up to a menu that lets the user choose to either read the story or go to the “jokes” page. The social story describes why someone tells a joke, how to tell a joke and what makes a joke funny. The “jokes” page opens up with a door. The user “knocks” or taps on the door twice to start the joke. There are 9 fun and funny jokes to tell with great illustrations.
Telling jokes is an important developmental skill that allows children to improve communication while connecting socially with others. Humor is especially important for children with autism because studies have shown they often exhibit delays in relating to their peers, in standard cultural conventions and in understanding the emotional states and intentions of others.
Humor is a huge part of cognitive and social development, and children with autism tell significantly fewer jokes than their typical peers. The skills necessary for joke telling, such as language skills and the ability to connect with others are often found to be lacking in people with autism.
Typical children usually develop an understanding of humor and joke telling without direct instruction from adults. This makes it is easy to forget that this may not be the case for everyone. Certain individuals, particularly those with social or communication delays, like someone diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, may need more direct instruction in this important skill.
Not being able to understand humor, or inspire laughter in others can negatively affect the development of relationships, and of cultural participation. With children with autism, this could lead to a further deterioration of social skills and interpersonal relationships
Studies have found that interventions aimed toward children diagnosed with autism that use jokes or teach humor and laughter can improve social skills and relationships with peers. The jokes that are learned in this app can be used to inspire laughter and friendship in any social situation.
Teaching social skills such as joke telling and humor to any child may be easier and less stressful when visual supports, like social stories are used.
Social stories are an important type of visual support often used with children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome or other special need. This social story uses simple text and descriptive pictures to describe why and how you tell a joke.
Social stories were first defined by Carol Gray in 1991 and are commonly used to break down a task or social situation into small and easy to understand steps, often accompanied by descriptive pictures. Social stories are easy to implement and are used by many professionals for a wide range of behaviors and skills.

Give Me Knobs
Summary: Virtual instruments are great, but give me knobs.
In this week's Embedded Muse Richard Wall reviews the latest version of Digilent's Analog Discovery (http://www.ganssle.com/tem/tem298.html) USB-connected scope. He really likes the user interface.
I've never met a customer of Salea's (https://www.saleae.com/) Logic series of USB logic analyzers who didn't wax poetic about the tools' fabulous GUI.
Today there are dozens of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, arbitrary waveform generators and other sorts of test equipment that, connected to a PC via USB, leverage the PC's screen and keyboard. Why burden the equipment with an expensive display and panel full of knobs?
I've tried many of these units and have found the user interface to be generally excellent. Upload speeds can be breathtaking. Prices have fallen to astonishingly low levels, especially for low-end units. Don't think these devices are toys - those with deeper pockets can buy a USB-connected instrument whose bandwidth and other characteristics rival high-end standalone devices. Some use the PC's huge memory and disk to offer incredible buffer depths. And portability is incredible - you could set up an engineering lab on an airplane's fold-down tray. Though TSA would cart you off to a little room for a long discussion.
But I prefer a conventional instrument with a screen and knobs. Maybe it's because I'm an old fart, used to old-style equipment. But it is interesting that Tek, Keysight and the other top-tier vendors do a brisk business with stand-alone gear.
Before the IC revolutionized, well, everything, all scopes had knobs of course. But one needed quite a bit of strength to operate these as some of the controls were rather hard to turn. The time base control turned multiple selector switches and was sometimes connected via chains or gears to quite a few other moving components. Thankfully all of that has changed.
When working on a circuit I don't have enough hands and eyes. You've got a probe in each hand and a third in your mouth. and now you have to mouse around to select an instrument's operating mode?
My eyes are on the circuit, trying to insure the probes are in the correct spot, or watching for that telltale smoke. A glance up and there's the scope's screen. The PC is probably off to the side - which window do you want to look at? Bifoculed people may have a pretty substantial change in distance between the unit under test and the PC, requiring risible squinting and head contortions to find a non-myopic focus point.
The mouse requires a certain amount of precision to select an exact position on the screen. A knob doesn't - just reach and spin. Now, I do remember Tek's 7000 series of scopes from the 70s. They had a sea of tiny illuminated buttons one had to press. Though the scopes were great for that era the buttons were much too close together.
Stabbing a button on this MSO-X 3054A is easier than mousing around.
Some standalone instruments now have touch screens. I'm not wild about that feature. Generally selection items are much too close together, again requiring a precision that can be hard to maintain in a frantic troubleshooting session. Stabbing a calloused finger at the screen doesn't always work, and having to rub around a bit to select a function is frustrating.
Even on this small SDG 2042X it's easy to hit the right button. The unit has a touch screen that I never use.
In the olden days when we wanted to get a screen shot of a scope we'd swing a large, ponderous Polaroid camera in front of the CRT and take a picture. I recall the film being about a buck a shot, which would be almost $5 today. And the cameras cost thousands, back when thousands was a lot of money. Today those problems are long gone. My scope can be networked. but somehow I've never gotten around to doing that. I capture the screen to a USB stick and move that to the PC. It's easy, but admittedly a little bit cumbersome. You really can't beat a USB instrument for the ease of capturing data to disk.
Those on a budget would do well to get a USB instrument. But I advise those learning about electronics with a goal of getting employment in the field to buy a standalone unit, because these are the most common in real-world labs. That sea of knobs can be intimidating at first and it's important that scope operation is as second nature as using a fork. Some of the Chinese vendors sell pretty decent gear for a few hundred dollars (assuming you don't need tons of bandwidth). Older, and perfectly serviceable, equipment is available on eBay for very reasonable prices - as are USB versions. For those aspiring to careers in this field, I do recommend getting a digital scope because a good understanding of sampling rates and the like is important.

NetworkNewsWire Announces Publication on Lithium Suppliers to Reap Rewards of Major Paradigm Shift in Car Industry
September 14, 2018 08:30 ET | Source: NetworkNewsWire
NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire — NetworkNewsWire ("NNW"), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) (OTC: STLHF), a client of NNW engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations utilizing the Company’s proprietary selective extraction technology.
To view the full publication, titled “New Technologies May Turn Arkansas into a Lithium Superpower,” visit: http://nnw.fm/aj6bZ
Mintak and his team are betting on being able to leapfrog competitors in the lithium supply space by avoiding several of the lengthy and time-consuming phases of developing a greenfield lithium operation. A traditional brine project such as those operated by Albemarle and SQM in Chile requires several phases including resource assessment, permitting, earth-moving and process-testing. Other lithium projects in Argentina have shown lengthy development timelines, which can take up to a decade or more to come online.
By working with permitted chemical producers such as Lanxess and Tetra, which already extract raw material feedstock (brine) from the ground, Standard Lithium can leverage existing infrastructure to eliminate most of the steps toward commercial production. Quick project execution will be key if the EV transformation happens faster than expected.
About Standard Lithium Ltd.
The Company’s flagship project is located in southern Arkansas, where it is engaged in the testing and proving of the commercial viability of lithium extraction from over 150,000 acres of permitted brine operations utilizing the Company’s proprietary selective extraction technology. The Company is also pursuing the resource development of over 30,000 acres of separate brine leases located in southwestern Arkansas and approximately 45,000 acres of mineral leases located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California. Standard Lithium is listed on the TSX Venture under the trading symbol “SLL”; quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “STLHF”; and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “S5L”.

After a slow start, the Halifax Hurricanes battled back to beat the Cape Breton Highlanders 103-90 on Thursday evening thanks to lights-out shooting from Malcolm Duvivier.
Ontario's Duvivier hit seven of 12 from beyond the arc on his way to a game-high 29 points off the bench for Halifax, who shot sluggishly early, trailing the Highlanders by as much as 17 early in the first half.
In the second half, the Hurricanes defence picked up, limited the Highlanders to just 36 points in the second half, allowing them to comfortably grab their first lead of the game and hold through the end of the fourth quarter.
Following Duviver's 29, Terry Thomas put up 19 points, while Meshack Lufile scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench for Halifax.
Thursday marked the Hurricanes third win in a row and with just two games left in the regular season, the Hurricanes are solidly in second place in the Atlantic Division.
The Hurricanes will finish up their season at home with two games next week at Scotiabank Centre
The first is on Sunday, Mar. 24 against the Cape Breton Highlanders at 2 p.m. and will feature the final regular season appearance of the Family Fun Zone.
Then on Thursday, Mar. 28, the Hurricanes cap off their regular season against the Island Storm at 7 p.m.
Tickets for both games can be purchased at the Ticket Atlantic Box Office or online.
Next month, the Hurricanes will begin their quest to get back to the National Basketball League of Canada finals. Playoff Ticket packages are now available. Visit HalifaxHurricanes.ca/tickets/2019_Playoff for more information.

A HELLS ANGEL GOES TO THE SMITHSONIAN
Written By: Irish Rich
Sometime in 1989, a plain package arrived at the Smithsonian, with no return address When the staff opened the package, the contents consisted of a set of Hells Angels colors, a couple photocopies of news articles, and a handwritten letter……
The back of Hairy Henry Kot’s vest, and his colors Check out that the rockers and the center patch are chenille-based, just like old school athletic “letters” were, and the red lettering and center patch are all hand chain stitched on a sewing machine. Also notice that Henry’s center patch is still the original two-winged patch, not the first variant of the single-winged Deaths Head patch that the majority of the Club had switched over to at that time. Frisco Charter members were still wearing the two-winged center patch as late as 1970.
……..The letter inside the package read:
“Dear Gentleperson, The enclosed Hell’s Angels jacket–about 1960′s–is for the Smithsonian. It is an authentic jacket owned by Hairy Henry or Hank as he was more commonly called. Each patch bearing a man’s name was worn in memoriam for his lost brothers. Hank has since passed away and I felt you were the appropriate entity to receive this jacket The enclosed pictures represent the event that brought Hank & George into much public eye–Hank leading a freedom–Freedom NOW–march down Haight Street. All of this notwithstanding, the Smithsonian does seem to be the appropriate keeper of such a piece of America 1960′s. I hope you share my belief and give this a place.
Sincerely, Roz Kot”
The front of Hairy Henry’s vest, showing the memorial patches Roz Kot talked about in her letter. One memorial patch is for Al The Chinaman, and the other is for Chocolate George. If you look close, you can see that George’s patch is in the shape of a quart of chocolate milk – because that’s how George got his nickname, he was forever drinking chocolate milk!
One of two photocopies included by Roz Kot with Hairy Henry’s colors, referred to in the letter that was sent along with everything to the Smithsonian
Note the notations at the bottom of the 2nd included photocopy, written in pen by Roz Kot, identifying the people in the photo as “ROZ” and “HH”. For the story behind these photocopies, see below:
The NOW Day demonstration as it moved along Haight St.
Photo by Gene AnthonyIn December of ’66, to ring in the New Year, the Mime Troop, and the Diggers decided to have an impromptu bit of street theatre to mark the “…….rebirth of The Haight, and the Death of Money”. The Mime Troop decked themselves out in their theatre costumes, and carrying a wooden coffin containing some paper money, headed out on Haight Street from the Straight Theatre. As they picked up people along the way, the Diggers passed out penny whistles and small placards that read NOW to the gathering paraders.
Well, the San Francisco Police didn’t like the goings-on, and with the marchers not having a permit secured, decided to break up what had now grown into a roving party They dispatched several patrol cars, a paddy wagon, and several motor cops on trikes to disperse the crowd while they still could do it easily. The trikes pushed the crowd back on to the sidewalks, effectively ending the parade.
A much clearer photo of Phyllis (Roz) Willner on the back of Hairy Harry Kot’s bike.
Photo by Gene AnthonyAs the crowd on Haight was starting to settle down, who would come along but Hairy Henry Kot, with his exhaust blasting off the buildings, backfiring, and with Phyllis Willner riding on the back of his bike shouting “FREEEEEEEEEEE……” at the top of her lungs. The cops, thinking somebody should pay for a good time after they had settled things down, pulled Hairy Henry over, and charged him with “…allowing a person to stand up while operating a motor vehicle”.
Phyllis (Roz) Willner being questioned after the traffic bust involving herself and Hairy Henry Kot. Phyllis went on in later life to become a Registered Nurse
Photo by Gene AnthonySubsequent to the traffic bust, the Cops found out Hairy Henry, recently released from San Quentin, was in violation of his parole. They immediately arrested him. Chocolate George, seeing this, also immediately dove into the middle of the whole fracas to free his Brother, and was arrested as well.As the two Angels were being hauled off to the Park Police Station, on the edge of Golden Gate Park, the Mime Troop and the Diggers passed the word to the crowd to head west and rally at the Police Station and attempt to “free” George and Henry, which everybody did.
The crowd heading West for the Park Police station. Note the Christmas decorations on the lamp poles.
Photo by Gene Anthony
When the crowd of several hundred reached the Park Police Station, the desk sergeant sent word out to the crowd that the bail for Chocolate George and Hairy Henry had been set at $2,500 , and if they could raise 10%, the Angels would be out Immediately, the hats were passed, and everybody (including the cops at the door of the station) threw in what they could spare, and the bail was posted. George was let go right away, but Hairy Henry spent a little more time in the lockup because of the parole violation beef.
The then President of the Frisco Charter, Pete Knell, overwhelmed by the support and generosity of the hippies towards Chocolate George and Hairy Henry, told them that he would not forget what happened. And, to show their thanks, the Frisco Hells Angels threw a party on New Years Day ’67 – “The New Years Day Wail” in the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park for everyone in The Haight. The Frisco Charter provided a flatbed truck, the sound system, all the beer, and the Grateful Dead for everybody’s enjoyment.
DID YOU KNOW……that anybody who wishes to, can donate anything they want to the Smithsonian? The Smithsonian accepts any type of “Americana” for posterity It might not go on exhibit, but it gets cataloged and stored/preserved forever, for future generations.
Treat us good, we'll treat you better. Treat us bad, we'll treat you worse.

Home Daniel Seventy Weeks
Seventy Weeks
The Jesuits
The Jesuits are a religious order of the Roman Catholic church. Their proper title is the "Society of Jesus." Originally they were called Compania de Jesus, which is Spanish for "(military) company of Jesus." They were founded (1534-39) by Ignatius of Loyola. He drafted the rules that still govern the society. The training of a Jesuit is long and rigorous. Though not often taught, they were basically founded to combat the Reformation. Jesuit leaders played a major role in Rome's Counter-Reformation. In the 16th and 17th century, this corps labored with measured success in reconverting Protestant areas in South and West Germany, Hungary, France and Poland. They also made several aggressive attempts to reconvert England.
The Christian Church is basically unaware that the futurist school came from this society's scholars. Jesuit priests have been known throughout history as the most wicked political arm of the Roman Catholic church. Edmond Paris, in his scholarly work, The Secret History of the Jesuits, reveals and documents much of this information. Their political intrigue has caused them to be banned from several nations throughout the course of their dubious history. Here is a brief list of nations, and provinces with the dates they expelled the Jesuit order: Portugal al 1759, France 1764, Spain 1767, Naples 1767, Parma and Russia 1820. Several of these nations have once again allowed them entrance. The popes themselves know how wicked this order is. There is much evidence to implicate them in the death of Pope Clement XIV, who was poisoned in 1773.
A Jesuit priest named Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) started to work independently. He looked deeply into the realm of Bible prophecy. The result of his work was a twisting and maligning of prophetic truth. Ribera's futuristic interpretation of Daniel chapter nine was furthered by the work of another Jesuit, Cardinal Robert e (1542-1621). These two were swiftly followed by a third, the Jesuit Luis de Alcazar (1554-1613). These men were the best soldiers Rome had. No one ever said Rome wasn't smart. Consistently, when she wants something done, she commissions her best men. Lord, help the Protestants to understand this effective principle. Let us quit raising up men who just agree with everybody. Instead, give us men of courage, truth and wisdom, scholars who are passionately driven by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Let's identify the areas of deception for which these papal warriors were responsible.
In exposing the Romish apocalyptic expositors of the Reformation era, Elliott has given a synopsis of their prophetic positions:
So at length, as the century [16th] was advancing to a close, two stout Jesuits took up the gauntlet; and published their respective, but quite counter opinions on the Apocalyptic subject:—the one Ribera a Jesuit Priest of Salamanca, who about A.D. 1585 published an Apocalyptic Commentary, which was on the grand points of Babylon and Antichrist what we now call the futerist scheme: the other, Alcazar, also a Spanish Jesuit, but of Seville, whose scheme was on main points what we now designate as that of the praeterists.
In taking up the gauntlet, these men could not have imagined that their works would be primarily taught by Protestants in the 20th century! For over three hundred years futurism and we shall define later) were rejected by the majority of ministers AS praeterism (which deceptive hermeneutics from the Roman Catholic church. Now, futurism reigns triumphant, and praeterism is claiming to be the true alternative. God help us! It's time to dismantle this reign of prophetic chaos by clearly exposing the authors and their intent, and by establishing the truth which will scatter all contenders.
When Ribera's commentary first appeared in England, it "excited vehemently the indignation" of the Protestants. The English expositor Brightman read the work and defiantly countered in his Commentary:
But mine anger and indignation burst out against the Jesuits. For when as I had by chance light upon Ribera, who had made a Commentary upon the same holy Revelation, Is it even so? said I Do the Papist take heart again; so as that book, which of long time before they would scarce suffer any man to touch, they dare now take in hand, to intreat fully upon it? What! was it but a vain image or bug, at the sight whereof they were wont to tremble a few years since, even in the dim light, that now they dare behold to look wishly upon this glasse in the clear sunshine and dare proclaim to the world that any other thing rather is poynted [pointed] at in it than their Pope of Rome?
In his excellent book, Great Prophecies of the Bible, Ralph Woodrow summarized the prophetic doctrine of Ribera:
Ribera published a 500-page commentary on the grand points of Babylon and Antichrist fin Sacram Beati Ionnis Apostoli & Evangelistate Apocoalypsin Commentari, (Lugduni, 1593)]. The object being to set aside the Protestant teachings that the Papacy is the antichrist. [Ribera's writings are still found in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, England.] In his commentary, he assigns the first chapters of Revelation to the first century. The rest he restricted to a literal three and a half years at the end of time. He taught that the Jewish temple would be rebuilt by a single individual antichrist who would abolish the Christian religion, deny Christ, pretend to be God, and conquer the world.
Does this sound familiar? Have we heard these scenarios all too often taught in Protestant churches? Did any of your teachers ever tell you who authored them? Even secular historians record the tactics of Counter-Reformation Rome. 'The Encyclopedia Britannica states, "Under the stress of the Protestant attack there arose new methods on the papal side: Ribera is identified as the founder of the futurist school of interpretation.
William E. Biederwolf, in his Bible commentary, comes to the following conclusion as to the origin of the futurist system:
This school was launched in 1580 [15851 by the Jesuit Ribera, who, as Guinness says, 'moved like Alcazar to relieve the Papacy from the terrible stigma cast upon it by the Protestant interpretation (the Historical School), tried to do so by referring these prophecies to the distant future, instead of like Alcazar to the distant past."
While editing Jonathan Edwards' Apocalyptic Writings, Stephen J. Stein commented
The polemical bent of Protestant exegetes produced an inevitable response from the Roman Catholic community Near the turn of the seventeenth century WO prominent Jesuits wrote commentaries offering different interpretations of the Revelation. Francisco filbert] contended that the prophecies of the Antichrist were still unfulfilled. The Antichrist was to be a Jewish deceiver of the world who would reign for three and a half years. BY contrast, Luis de Alcasar thought that the prophecies of the Apocalypse had already been fulfilled in the struggles of the early Church with Judaism and pagan's' The last two chapters of the Revelation, he said, tell of the triumph of the Roman Catholic Church.
I will emphasize a fundamental truth once more, the (unitive school of Bible prophecy v. as created for one reason, and me reason.: only: to counter the Protestant Reformation!
Ribera's primary apparatus was the seventy weeks. He taught that Daniel's 70th week was still in the future. He said that God had first given us 69 weeks and that at the baptism of Jesus in 27 A.D. the 69 weeks concluded. He said that God extended the 70th week into the future to take place at the end of the age. It was as though God put a giant rubber band on this Messianic time measure. Does this supposition sound familiar? This is exactly the scenario used by Hal Lindsey and a multitude of other current prophecy teachers.
Remember, Ribera was not alone in his efforts to war on the Protestant cause. Cardinal Robert Bellarmine eagerly accepted the challenge and entered into the arena. Woodrow presents a relevant biography of this man's contribution to the confusion:
The futurist teachings of Ribera were further popularized by an Italian cardinal and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists. His writings claimed that Paul, Daniel and John had nothing whatsoever to say about the Papal power. The futurists' school won general acceptance among Catholics. They were taught that antichrist was a single individual who would not rule until the very end of time. But this effort to sidetrack the teachings that the Papacy is the antichrist failed to hold back the advancing tide of Protestant truth—at least for a while.
Let me acid that Bellarmine followed very closely the teachings of Ribera. However, Ribera only partially attacked the year-for-a-day principle, whereas Bellarmine declared absolute war against it. The systematic theology of interpreting Divine time measures a day for a year, when the text dictates, has been almost entirely lost to the Protestant church. However, the hypocrisy of the matter is manifest continually in the futurist school. They are forced to acknowledge this principle of interpretation with the seventy weeks, but with other Divine time measures (i.e., the Book of Revelation) they reject this great principle and try to teach that they are to be interpreted as literal days! By what authority do they do this? Ribera's, not God's!
The Bible has several Divine time measures incorporated in the prophetic utterances. Why aren't these time measures broken and ;epara from their contexts? Why do the futurists only take this liberty with the seventy weeks? I hope by now you are beginning to understand why. It's an infusion of error that futurist teachers can't explain. Why do they try to tell us that God broke the seventy weeks? We must examine this if we are to be honest with ourselves and God. I will substantiate that God never broke this great prophecy; man altered it in his mind. Satan would deceive us all and rob us of our understanding of destiny!
The prophecy of the seventy weeks is the foundation stone for futurism and dispensationalism. These interpretations must have their seven-year period at the end of time. Remember, this is the last week of the 490-year prophetic clock. All futurist scenarios revolve around Ribera's "seven-year tribulation period." This erroneous presumption will be shattered as we proceed. Truth will triumph!
It is systematic teaching that will usher in the return to the true historical interpretation and fulfillment of the vision. (The implications of this will be self-evident and discussed in relation to the Kingdom and the restoration of truth within its walls.) The proper date and decree that signaled the start of the time measure must be established. The seventy weeks began in 457 B.C., and conclude,. in entirety, in 34 A.D. God's Word gives us an unmistakably clear signal as o when this period was to initiate and to culminate. The apostles knew they were to restrict their movements until that time span ran its course. This was necessary because of its exclusive application to the Jews. Further, it will be seen that the stoning of Stephen was not the end of this measure; God gave us a much mole accurate indication.
However, on the other end of the prophetic spectrum, our third Jesuit must be addressed Luis de Alcazar attempted to divert silo Protestant attacks by pointing fifteen centuries into the pas, and planting antichrist there.
Alcazar wrote on the Ribera school of thought. His book was entitled, Vestigatio Arcani Sensus In Apocalypsi, published Antwerp, 1614. He launched the praeterist (often spelled "preterist") school of apocalyptic interpretation. The preterists consider the majority of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation to have been fulfilled in the downfall of the Jewish nation in 70 A.D. Most advocates of this system date John's writing of the Revelation prior to 68 A.D. Nero, they claim, was the Antichrist. This interpretation, in my opinion, is easily discredited. The preterists find themselves in the same contradictions as the futurists. The systematic theology of the year-day principle in Bible prophecy thwarts their schemes. By what authority do preterists say that Revelation's divine time measures are interpreted a day for a day? Like the entirety of the futurist camp, they turn around and say that the seventy weelcs are to be interpreted as years. An immense contradiction!
Alcazar's main thrust, like that of Ribera and Bellarmine before him, was to protect the papacy. His admiration for the "Vicar of Christ" is clearly stated:
That Rome of old, head of Pagan idolatry, by an admirable vicissitude [change of circumstances] was to be changed into the metropolis of the Catholic Church; that the Roman Church was gloriously to triumph both in respect of the Roman city and the whole empire; and that the sovereign authority of the Romish Pope should always remain in the height of honour
Elliott sharply rebuked the preterist teaching by referencing the understanding of Irenaeus, the grand pupil of the Apostle John:
On the contrary, the early testimony of Irenaeus, disciple to Polycarp, who was himself a disciple to St John, indicates a then totally different view of the Apocalyptic Beast ... As if the only one ever known to have been received: a view referring it, not to any previous persecution by Nero and the Roman Empire under him, but to an Antichrist even then future; one that was to arise and persecute the church NOT till the breaking up, and reconstruction in another form, of the old Empire.
Alcazar's Antichrist Church Age Ribera's Antichrist
PAST ? FUTURE
In concluding the Jesuit infusion, Ecclesiastes warns in a proverb that, "a threefold cord is not quickly broken." The threefold cord of the Jesuit writers has done its damage. The extent of confusion is almost unbelievable. I have often wondered how such great Protestant ministers could be so deceived. That question is left to the judgments of the heart—God's realm. The fruit, however, is what we must test. Thankfully, the historical chronology of Protestant responsibility is traceable and verifiable. It begins in 1826, with a man named Samuel Roffey Maitland.

Predatory Lending, Foreclosures, Housing Crisis & Bailouts
Much of America continues to steam about the bailout of Wall Street. But before Wall Street made billions from subprime mortgages, people in North Texas made millions.Wall Street is taking the heat, Main Street and maybe even people you know, may deserve part of the blame...The answer may be right there in your own neighborhood if there are foreclosed homes nearby.

Henry Cisneros Responds to New York Times Article - Its Not My Fault
Cisneros: Many share blame for economic crisis
Many things share blame for the nation's current economic crisis, including Asian- and oil-fueled liquidity, interest rates kept low too long by the Fed, corporate borrowing binge, speculation in the housing market, and an unusual splitting of housing as shelter to housing as an investment opportunity, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros said Sunday...In the context of such activities, Cisneros said, he and others were being blamed for pressing home ownership too far. "Frankly, I don't accept that," Cisneros said. Though he didn't mention it, Cisneros seemed to refer to an Oct. 19 New York Times series on people who helped cause the economic crisis in which his Lago Vista housing project on the South Side was used as an example of a housing project gone bad. Lago Vista was a partnership with KB Home, which built the troubled Mirasol Homes project on the West Side.
In his zeal, Cisneros forgot the little guy
Genesis of Affordable Homeownership at What Price?
Policies Mr. Cisneros authorized while at HUD shaped the agenda of an unchecked industry that encouraged builders to carelessly throw up shoddily constructed homes overnight in the name of affordable housing... Forgotten was the lack of respect for those who were to live in these homes...The sad part is that Cisneros carried the water for some of the worst giants of the industry, giants like Countrywide and KB Homes. He facilitated federal policies that became the bread and butter of the building industry; a market made up of young first-time homebuyers and families that could not afford homes that were venerable to the deceptions of predatory lending... Overcompensated greedy CEO ' s and the building industry are the sole beneficiaries of the failed policies of Henry Cisneros. In his zeal, Cisneros forgot the little guy.

West Indies are set to play a three-match T20I series in Karachi in April.
By HomeofT20 Staff on March 13, 2018
Najam Sethi, the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, has announced that West Indies will play a three-match T20I series against Pakistan in Karachi in April.
Good news! West Indies have agreed to play 3 T20 matches in KARACHI on 1,2 and 4th April. CM Sindh is FULLY supporting this PCB initiative. 👍
— Najam Sethi (@najamsethi) March 11, 2018
“I have been working day and night to conclude an agreement with West Indies which I have just finalised an hour ago,” Sethi said.
“Good news is that West Indies will play three games [on April, 1, 2 and 4] but these matches will be played in Karachi. They will not play in Lahore but in Karachi. That is how we intend to put Karachi back on the cricket map once again. The PSL final, and now three more games for Karachi as per routine. Karachi people should welcome this.”
Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and an ICC World XI side have all played international cricket in Pakistan in recent times but all of those fixtures have been played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Why the requests for Contents Removal from “Google” has increased in India in 2010?
Last Updated on 29th June 2011
At present, apart from ‘Press’, people use the internet to express their opinions and pass criticisms on the politicians and officials of almost in all countries including India. All Governments in the World request the Web-Search Engines, such as ‘Google’ for removal of contents published in them.
The Indian Courts, Indian Police Authorities and Government Officials have sent requests to the Web- Search Company-“Google” for removal of contents published in the internet, pertaining to defamation and National Security.
Google has fully or partially complied with 22% of the requests and declined the rest.
Such requests from the Government of India have been more in the year 2010, obviously, because the year 2010 has been a year of the biggest scandals in India, and comments and observations of the public should have been more in the internet.
Google has also received 1,699 “user data requests” from the government — euphemism for the police wanting a peek into the search and usage habits of targeted individuals — and complied with 79 per cent of these. However, no details were given. The number of user data removal requests from India increased by as much as 123 per cent.In India, under Articles 19, 20,21 &22, right to freedom is given to the people. The right to freedom under Article 19 guarantees right to Freedom of Speech and Expression. The freedom of speech and of the press in India does not confer an absolute right to express without any responsibility.
The Freedom of Press in India is not specifically given in the Indian Constitution.
Under Section 19(1), Freedom of Press is implied and under Section 19 (2), the Press is subject to some restrictions under the following Heads:-
Security of the State,
Friendly Relations with Foreign States,
Public Order,
Decency and Morality,
Contempt of Court,
Defamation,
Incitement to an offense and
Sovereignty and integrity of India.
However, reasonable restrictions on the above grounds can be imposed only by a duly enacted law and not by executive action.

Trails of Wonder
What used to be an abandoned Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way is now a flourishing North Idaho Centennial Trail system. In northwestern Coeur d’Alene, the beautiful Prairie Trail was made possible through a cooperative effort between ignite cda and the North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation (NICTF). The 5.25-mile section of trail winds through two city parks and is lined with trees and impressive views of the mountains and Spokane River.
Stretching from the Riverstone development to the western edge of Coeur d’Alene on the Rathdrum Prairie, the popular Prairie Trail connects northern Coeur d’Alene with the Spokane River corridor and downtown. Ignite cda also played a pivotal role in construction of new segments of the trail system in the Higher Education Campus along the Spokane River and within McEuen Park downtown.

There are different organizations running from Twenty20, played over a couple of hours with each group batting for a solitary innings of 20 overs, to Test matches, played more than five days with boundless overs and the groups each batting for two innings of boundless length. Customarily cricketers play taking all things together white pack, however in constrained overs cricket they wear club or group hues. Notwithstanding the essential pack, a few players wear defensive rigging to avert damage caused by the ball, which is a hard, strong spheroid made of compacted calfskin with a somewhat raised sewn crease encasing a plug center which is layered with firmly twisted string.
Verifiably, cricket's starting points are questionable and the soonest positive reference is in south-east England amidst the sixteenth century. It spread all inclusive with the development of the British Empire, prompting the principal universal matches in the second 50% of the nineteenth century. The amusement's overseeing body is the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has more than 100 individuals, twelve of which are full individuals who play Test matches.
The diversion's tenets are held in a code called the Laws of Cricket which is claimed and kept up by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. The game is pursued basically in the Indian subcontinent, Australasia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, southern Africa and the West Indies, its globalization happening amid the development of the British Empire and staying prevalent into the 21st century. Women's cricket, which is composed and played independently, has likewise accomplished universal standard. The best side playing global cricket is Australia, having won seven One Day International trophies, including five World Cups, more than some other nation, and having been the top of the line Test side more than some other nation.

FAA says Boeing will fix 737 Max 8 system
BEIJING (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration says it expects Boeing will soon complete improvements to an automated anti-stall system that is suspected of contributing to a deadly crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 in October.
The FAA said Monday that Boeing will also update training requirements and flight crew manuals related to the system.
The system automatically points the plane's nose down if sensors indicate the plane could be in danger of losing lift, or stalling. Sensors on the plane operated by Indonesia's Lion Air gave out faulty readings on its last four flights.
On the fatal October flight, pilots apparently struggled in vain to fight against the automated nose-down commands.
The FAA tried to discourage comparisons between the Lion Air crash and Sunday's deadly crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8. Both performed erratically shortly after takeoff, then went into nosedives. Weather did not appear to be a factor in either one.
"External reports are drawing similarities between (the Ethiopian) accident and the Lion Air Flight 610 accident," the FAA said. "However, this investigation has just begun and to date we have not been provided data to draw any conclusions or take any actions."
7 p.m. Monday
State-run carrier Oman Air says it is in close contact with Boeing after the crash of an Ethiopian jetliner, the same model that it uses widely.
Oman Air tweeted Monday that is talking to Boeing "to understand if there are any implications" for other airlines operating Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
It added: "Oman Air's primary and overriding consideration is the safety and well-being of its staff and guests."
Oman Air operates five Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Oman is a sultanate on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula.
The crash of the Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX 8 on Sunday killed 157 people. A similar Lion Air plane crashed in Indonesia in October, killing 189 people.
Chinese and Indonesian regulators ordered their airlines to temporarily ground their Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes.
According to the City of Hayward, the pilot and his student were practicing hovering skills in a Robinson R44 when the aircraft crashed for unknown circumstances around 2:30 p.m.

Aim- To study the pattern of oral microflora in HIV Infected Individuals and compare it with normal individuals.
Material & Methods- It was a one year prospective study conducted at a tertiary care centre. The study group consisted of seventy subjects divided into normal control & HIV infected individuals. HIV Patients were selected not on anti-retroviral therapy and not having any active oral lesions. Routine examination and CD4 blood count was performed. Oral saline gargles were used to obtain the flora. Culture of organisms was performed as per standard protocol.
Results- The mean age of control group were 35.7 years and HIV group was 33.7 years. The mean CD4 count of control group was > 500 and of HIV were 208. Organism isolated in control group were Streptococcus viridians (51%), Acinetobacter (22.8%) whereas in HIV group Streptococcus viridians was 42.8%, Micrococcus spp. (28.5%) and Acinetobacter (14.3%).
Conclusion- There was increased colonization of Micrococcus spp. in oral cavity of HIV infected individuals which is usually a normal commensal of skin.
Keywords: Oral Microflora; HIV;AIDS; Micrococcus
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) as being one of the devastating disease has killed more than 25 million people worldwide since 1981 [1].India being a country having population about 1.25 billion and almost half the population is sexually active. National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) estimates 8,10,399 people living with Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) in India till September 2014[2]. Immunosuppression in HIV infected patients is due to depletion of cell mediated immunity response. The CD4 count is inversely proportional to morbidity and mortality. HIV infected individuals are predisposed to streptococcus pneuominae and non typhi salmonella [3]. Other studies have found an increased incidence of infection with Haemophilus influenza and Pneumococci which are capsulated organisms [4]. Schmidt et al. [5] in his study found that 5.0% of the HIV infected patients had colonization with different species of Enterobacteriaceae. As described by various studies that injudicious use of antibiotics leads to change in oral flora [6,7]. Such changes are documented in leukemia [8], but there lacks documentation in HIV infected patients. The idea of present study is to identify a significant shift in oral microflora of HIV infected patients.
Present study was conducted over a period of one year in a tertiary care center, UPRIMS &R, Saifai, Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, India. HIV infected patients were sent randomly to ENT OPD for examination from Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) center of the institute. Control patients were selected randomly from ENT OPD. The subjects were included with no evidence of upper respiratory tract infection, local lesions in oral cavity like ulcers, hairy leukoplakia, erythroplakia and tumor etc. AIDS patients were not on antiretroviral therapy and were not receiving any antibiotics or regularly using mouthwash. Controls were excluded who were immunosuppressed like suffering from chronic liver disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, transplant recipient, cancer patient on treatment.
HIV infection was diagnosed by HIV Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and confirmation was done by western blot method. All subjects in study were asked a detailed clinical history, followed by a detailed clinical examination. Routine investigations like complete blood count, Cluster of Differentiation (CD4) count and urine routine were performed.
We used 0.85 to 0.9% normal saline mouth gargles or oral washings for collecting specimens. Subjects were asked to gargle for 1 min and then the contents are collected in a sterile container. Early morning samples were collected and samples were transported to the lab within 30 min.
Once in the laboratory, the washings were inoculated in 5% sheep blood agar for aerobic culture using standard calibrated loop with an internal diameter of 4 mm. The inoculated plates were incubated for 24–48 hours at 37 ̊C. The bacteria were identified by colony morphology, gram staining, test for motility, catalase test, oxidase test and other biochemical tests. The data was statically analyzed by SPSS 14.0 software.
Seventy patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into thirty five normal (Control) and thirty five HIV infected patients. The age range for control group was 10–60 years. The mean age in control group was 35.7 years (SD-15.8). The male: female ratio was 3:1 (Table 1). The age range for HIV infected patients were 18–58 years with a mean age of 33.7 years (SD-12.1). The male: female ratio was 2.9:1. In Control group the most common age group affected was the 21–30 years (34.2%). In HIV group the most common age group affected was also 21–30 years (42.8%) (Table 1).

CD4 T Cell Count of all control subjects were more than 500 cells/mm3. 40% of subjects in HIV group had a CD4 T cell count in the range of 201–300 cells/ mm3 (Table 2). The mean CD4 value in HIV group was 208 (range 32–534). Only 2.8% of the HIV patients had CD4 counts more than 500.
Organisms Isolated from Controls were usual commensal microorganism. Streptococcus viridans was 51% followed by Acinetobacter in 22.8%. The other commensals isolated are shown in Table 3. In HIV group the most common commensal micro-organism isolated was the Streptococcus viridans 42.8%, followed by the Micrococci spp. in 28.5% cases (Table 4). The most common isolate in both the groups were Streptococcus viridans. Micrococcus spp. was isolated in 28.5% patients in HIV group compared to none in control group.
The colony count for Streptococci viridans showed a heavy growth in 66.7% of cases in controls whereas the same in HIV group was 73.3% (Table 5). Micrococcus spp. was isolated from 10 subjects in HIV group while it was isolated in none of the control patient. A heavy growth of Acinetobacter was found in 75 and 40% subjects in HIV group and controls respectively.

HIV infected patients are more vulnerable to invasive bacterial infections than immunocompetent persons. Numerous immunologic system deficits are responsible for the increased vulnerability to various infections. These include defect in the cell mediated and the humoral arms of the immune system; phagocytic abnormalities including decrease in neutrophil number, multiple defects in neutrophil function and impairment in macrophage and monocyte function [9]. These defects become more severe as the HIV disease progresses. Other factors that increase susceptibility to infection in the HIV infected include frequent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, frequent hospitalizations, use of indwelling intravascular catheters that disrupt the integrity of skin, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and lack of adequate medical care.
Sarkar K et al. [10] found that female sex workers had HIV infection much higher (12.5%) in younger sex workers with age 20 years compared with older age groups (5.4%). In our series the age range was 19–55 years with a mean age of 33.7 years. Men were three times more commonly affected than women. The most common age group affected was 21–30 years; this is consistent with the findings of Leynaert et al. [11] and Kumar [12] et al. who observed the highest incidence of HIV in the late twenties and thirties.
In our study the mean CD4 T cell count in the HIV group was 208 cells/ mm3. Rogers MC et al. [13] found the median CD4 count was 97 cells/ mm3 amongst concordant men and 222 cells/ mm3 amongst discordant men.
Schmidt-Westhausen et al. [5] found that 5% of the HIV infected patients and 4.8% of the controls had different species of Enterobacteriaceae in the oral cavity. Yeasts were always associated with Enterobacteriaceae in the HIV infected patients. In our series the most common microorganism isolated in the control group was the Streptococcus viridans (51%); this was followed by the Acinetobacter in 22.8% cases. In the HIV group, we found a shift in oral microflora with a reduction in the isolation of Streptococcus viridans (42.8%) and Acinetobacter (14.3%). We found an increase in the incidence of colonization with Micrococcus spp. (28.5%). Micrococcus species are usually considered normal inhabitants of the skin [14]. Micrococcus species has been reported to cause localized cutaneous infections like folliculitis [14] and keratitis [15] in HIV infected patients. Gray et al. [4] stated that the HIV infected individuals are predisposed to infection with bacteria like S. pneumoniae, non-typhi Salmonella, S. aureus, Enterobacteraciae, Rhodococcus spp, Nocardia spp. Mascellino et al. [16] found high incidence of nosocomial bacterial infections in patients with AIDS and it was associated with high fatality rates. The most common micro-organisms isolated were gram-negative bacteria like E. coli, Proteus, Enterobacter, Serratia, and Klebsiella. The organisms that were isolated in our series were Streptococcus viridans, Micrococcus spp., Acinetobacter, Klebsiella spp, Pneumococcus, Bacillus, and Moraxella catarrhalis. All these organisms are potentially pathogenic organisms especially so in a patient with HIV. Streptococcus viridans have been reported to cause various infections in HIV patients. Corti et al. [14] evaluated 61 episodes of infective endocarditis in intravenous drug abusers and human immunodeficiency type-1 virus infection. He isolated S. aureus in 73.1%, S. viridans in 19.5%, S. epidermidis in 2.4%, S. hominis in 2.4% and S. pneumonia 2.4%. Milgrim et al. [15] studied sinusitis in human immunodeficiency virus infection and the most common organisms isolated were S. pneumoniae (19%), S. viridians (19%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17%). It is important to recognize that infection due to atypical organisms must be considered if an HIV infected patient with sinusitis does not respond to initial antibiotic therapy [16].
Acinetobacter has been reported to cause sepsis, urinary, respiratory tract diseases and bacteremic pneumonia [17,18] in HIV infected patients. As opportunist pathogens with predominant nosocomial origin Acinetobacter spp. Organisms may be responsible for an appreciable morbidity in patients with HIV disease, especially when additional risk factors like immunodeficiency, underlying diseases, and hospitalization are present [17].
Opportunistic infections are the most common cause of death in patients with HIV and many of these are caused by commensal bacteria which are otherwise indolent in normal individual. We found an increased colonization of the oral cavity by Micrococcus spp. which is a normal commensal of the skin. Although the exact significance of this phenomenon is not established, further research is required to ascertain its potential significance.

Rugby Gala Charity Event to support local at-risk youth
Posted By Kensington Oval
Wednesday, November 14 , 2018
Bridgetown – The Local Organising Committee for the 2018 Mitsubishi Electric Rugby Barbados World 7s (MERBW7s) is this year partnering with the Rotary Club of Barbados (South)
and The Royal Shop of Barbados to host their second annual Gala Charity Event to assist the nation’s ‘at-risk’ youth through sport. The Gala will be held on Friday 7th December at the Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados, who are also offering special accommodation deals to MERBW7s fans, and Tournament organisers are calling on Barbadians to dig deep and contribute the minimum $280BBD donation per person to support the event.
Noted British BBC Sports Broadcaster and Wimbledon Commentator John Inverdale is being flown in as the special guest speaker for the evening which also includes cocktails, a three-course dinner and a charity auction featuring Rugby memorabilia and fine jewellery, including a Swiss timepiece from The Royal Shop; all up for sale to the highest bidder.
Proceeds will go towards helping Rotary to support the Stephen Alleyne Sport for Life Programme (also sponsored by the Sandy Lane Charitable Trust) which assists in educating our youth in life skills, literacy and numeracy, as well as sporting skills and leadership development. The programme is additionally endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth, and the National Sports Council.
Manager of the MERBW7s Local Organising Committee, George Nicholson said the Charity Dinner is a great way to lead into an action-packed weekend of world-class Rugby on the island and to build a brighter future for at-risk children in Barbados. “MERBW7s is proud to be partnering with such prestigious organisations and brands to put on a second Gala Charity Event in aid of youth through sport. Sport is such a powerful tool for the social development of our most at-risk youth in society and we are putting the call out to all businesses and individuals this year – if you have ever thought about assisting such a cause, we urge you to make a donation and join us for what’s sure to be a wonderful start to all the action of our Tournament,” he said.
The Charity Event is just the beginning of a busy few days for Rugby in Barbados, with the longest running Club Rugby 7s Tournament in the Caribbean, and what’s now being heralded as ‘one of the world’s richest Women’s Club 7s tournaments’, to kick off at the iconic Kensington Oval the following day. Over the 8th and 9th December, some of the best Men’s and Women’s Club Rugby teams from across the globe will compete in the MERBW7s, which has an impressive US$30,000 prize money up for grabs. Teams from Scotland, England, Wales, Canada and the USA, as well as Guadeloupe, St Lucia, and Trinidad have all registered for this year’s Tournament, which the organisers are hoping will eventually rival both the internationally-renowned Hong Kong Sevens and Dubai Sevens, especially in the Women’s Division.
For Charity Event reservations, email Brian Stollmeyer at brian.stollmeyer@gmail.comor George Nicholson at gnicholson@adebbarbados.com. Note: a 10% discount applies to full table bookings of 10 persons.
MERBW7s Tournament tickets are available through TicketPal’s Caribbean/USA site

THE QUEEN’S POISONER
BOOK 1 OF THE KINGFOUNTAIN SERIES
BY JEFF WHEELER
As usurper of the throne, the rule of King Severn Argentine’s is already highly contested. To keep his power, King Argentine rules with an iron fist and destroys any opposition. In a failed coup attempt the Duke of Kiskaddon loses his son as a permanent prisoner to the king to ensure his loyalty.
THE QUEEN’S POISONER follows the Duke’s young son Owen on his journey for redemption and revenge as he figures out how to survive the court of Kingfountain. In order to keep his head and gain the merciless king’s favor, Owen must delve deeper into the world of mystery and secrecy that surrounds him. Readers will be clamoring for the next installment of The Kingfountain Series.
Amazon | B&N
The wild frenzied feeling of plummeting reminded him partway down that he should be terrified, but then the shock of cold water met his face and he plunged into its depths. His feet touched the bottom of the cistern. His hand still gripped hers.
Owen opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a pile of treasure. He felt a huge burst of excitement in his ribs as he stared at the sword hilts, the jewels and necklaces. The Mortimer girl was tugging at his hand and trying to swim up, but he pulled back, not wanting to lose sight of the treasure. There was so much! But then he noticed something awry. There was a gap in the treasure, as if someone had dragged a rake through it. No, that wasn’t it. One of the chests appeared to have been dragged back towards the stairs. The dragging motion had cleared a path through the bounty and knocked other bits over.
His companion was yanking hard on his hand now, and when he looked up, he saw bubbles were coming out of her mouth, obscuring her face.
Owen wanted to stay down and figure out what had happened to the treasure, but they both needed to breathe. He pushed with his legs and they started towards the surface. As they moved through the water, a loud grinding noise filled his water-soaked ears.
When Owen’s face broke the surface, he gulped in a chest full of air to stop his lungs from burning. The Mortimer girl was spluttering and paddling on the waters.
“Owen! Did you hear that noise?”
Owen looked and saw they were farther away from stairs. In fact, they were gliding away from it at a fast pace.
“What’s wrong?” Owen asked, kicking around. The water was tugging them deeper into the dark cistern.

Hamas: Fatah prefers US dollars to national agreements
March 19, 2012 9:20 P.M. (Updated: March 20, 2012 1:19 P.M.)
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Fatah has not implemented any of its reconciliation commitments because it prefers American money to national agreements, a spokesman for the Hamas-led government in Gaza said Monday.
Taher al-Nunu said in a statement that Fatah is trying to destroy the reconciliation agreement it signed with Hamas last May.
Al-Nunu's remarks were made in response to comments by senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad, who said Hamas was responsible for the ongoing delay in forming a unity government.
During a meeting with Egyptian officials in Cairo on Monday, al-Ahmad said Hamas asked to postpone the new administration for two weeks. More than a fortnight has passed and Fatah is still waiting for a response from Hamas, al-Ahmad said.
Al-Ahmad added that Hamas was hindering the new government by refusing to allow the central elections committee to work in Gaza.
Al-Nunu said al-Ahmad's remarks were intended to destroy the reconciliation process so Fatah could avoid its commitments under the unity agreement.
Fatah and Hamas agreed last May to form one government to end years of division during which rival administrations have governed the West Bank and Gaza.
Since the deal was signed, the factions have traded blame for the ongoing delay in forming the new government.
Fatah leader and President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas chief Khalid Mashaal -- who leads the party from exile -- met in Doha in February and pledged to form the new government, agreeing that Abbas would take the post of prime minister.
The appointment prompted another row, as Hamas officials in Gaza questioned the legality of Abbas' appointment as prime minister.

India Vs New Zealand Semi-Final: All You Need to Know About the Reserve Day New Zealand will complete their 50-overs innings before India also play their full quota of overs.
India Vs New Zealand Semi-Final: All You Need to Know About the Reserve Day
India Vs New Zealand Semi-Final: All You Need to Know About the Reserve DayCricket
(Image source from: Facebook/cricketworldcup)
The first semi-final match in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand was pushed to reserve day after the match had to be called off on Tuesday due to incessant rainfall and poor pitch conditions at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
New Zealand team was stranded on 211 for 5 from 46.1 overs when rain intervened preventing any further play from taking place.
But with a reserve day in place, the match can be completed on Wednesday. It will start at the same stage with Ross Taylor and Tom Latham at the crease, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar will continue the proceedings with the ball for India.
New Zealand will complete their 50-overs innings before India also play their full quota of overs if there are no further interventions and the match is completed. But in case of another rain hurdle, the game can be shortened and India will then be set a revised target using the Duckworth-Lewis Stern (D/L) method.
Cricket World Cup 2019’s ruled and regulation states that the chasing team has to bat at least 20 overs for the game to be completed via the process available. But if the chasing team fails to bat full 20 overs on the reserve day and the match fails to get a result, then the team that finished higher in the league phase team standings will automatically qualify.
What Is Reserve Day?
A reserve day is an extra day that is pre-determined and announced before the tournament of competition begins. It is used if a particular game is not completed in its original day. Reserve day can only be decided by the match referee of that particular match, which is set to be moved.
When Is Reserve Day Used?
A reserve day is only used when the said match fails to be completed on its original day. The match officials decided if the particular game can be completed or not after inspecting the weather and playing conditions. Officials take a number of steps to try and finish the game on its original day. Some of the steps often taken are - reducing the number of overs to a minimum of 20 overs each for either team, revising the original target or extending the match timings by a maximum 120 minutes.
If the match still fails to be completed after all the aforementioned steps are taken, then the game will be postponed to a reserve day.
What Happens on Reserve Day?
A game postponed to reserve day will start at the same stage it was halted on its original day. The match start timings, playing hours will also be exactly at the same time. ICC stated that the reserve day will be a continuation of the game and not restart it. If the said game had already started on its original day then the game will continue from the same stage. The rule also states that the match will be a full 50-overs contest.
What Happens If Play Is Not Possible on Reserve Day
If the particular game - after being rescheduled and moved to reserve day - still fails to produce a result, then the team placed-higher in the points table at the end of the league phase will progress. This is, however, only if the match is abandoned or washed out due to rain on both the original and reserve days.
A Tied-Match
Now after all the process and procedures are completed but the game is tied between both the teams then teams will contest in a Super Over to decide the winner. But if a tie has occurred and then rain intervenes preventing any further play then once again the team that finished higher in the league phase team standings will qualify.

A Sophisticated War Machine –– Leopard 1 A3/A4
TOKYO, Oct. 11, 2013 – MENG has announced a new kit numbered TS-007 – the German main battle tank Leopard 1 A3/A4 in the 53rd All Japan Model & Hobby Show. Test shots and samples are displayed in the show, which means this TS-007 project is undergoing tests and it will be available pretty soon.
Leopard 1 MBT features extraordinary reliability and excellent tactical mobility. It was a standard equipment of European troops and it served in more than 10 countries in the world. The Leopard 1 A3 incorporated all the improvements of the Leopard 1 A2 but with a new welded turret of spaced armor with a wedge-shaped gun mantlet. The turret rear stowage bin was incorporated into the contour of the turret. The loader's periscope was movable in both elevation and azimuth. The Leopard 1 A4 was fitted with the same turret as Leopard 1 A3, but had an integrated fire-control system which helped the tank attack distant targets more accurately.
This TS-007 plastic model is 269.5mm in total length and 97mm in width. This kit consists of 471 plastic parts on 23 sprues and 10 PE parts on 2 PE frets. Periscopes and lights are provided with clear parts; all hatches can be modeled open or closed; armor protection for periscope and grilles for engine compartment can be precisely presented with PE parts; track links and one-piece TPE tracks are included; three options (German Leopard 1 A3/A4 or Greek Leopard 1 A3) are provided.

The London Bird Atlas is a benchmark publication for its scientific content although the species accounts are written with the lay reader in mind. In addition to scientists and conservationists, the book’s target audience includes keen birders and wildlife enthusiasts, many of whom take regular wildlife holidays.
The London Bird Atlas is a joint publication between London Natural History Society and specialist natural history publisher John Beaufoy Publishing. The book balances strong visual design with science.
Given its target audience, the LNHS opened the book for advertising support as this benefits advertisers, the members and provides a sustainable funding model for the society’s long tradition of producing high quality publications.
What is in the London Bird Atlas?
The book has introductory chapters setting out the changes that have occurred since the production of bird atlases began in the London area, especially since the last one, and a general summary of the birdlife and habitats of the London area.
The atlas uses 2 km squares i.e. 25 tetrads in each 10km square. This is a total of 856 tetrads in the LNHS area. Distribution maps are produced at higher levels of resolution than the National Atlas (Balmer et al 2013) which records on 10km square grids.
The atlas compares the current breeding distribution (2008-13), with the distribution approximately 20 years ago (1988-94), and with distribution approximately 40 years ago (1968-72).
This is the first atlas of London’s birds which includes relative abundance maps, both during the breeding season and the winter, based on Timed Counts in each tetrad for selected species. Nearly 100% coverage of tetrads was achieved for the selected species for the Timed Counts.
The atlas’s winter distribution maps cover the winters from 2007/08 to 2012/13. This is the first time the distribution has been recorded at this scale in winter in the London area.
The London Bird Atlas covers 27 breeding visitors, 50 winter visitors and 106 which breed and winter in the London area, and 5 which formerly bred in the area but no longer do so, making a total of 188 species of birds.
It has 130 breeding distribution maps and 158 winter distribution maps, as well as breeding abundance maps, winter abundance maps and change maps.Introductory chapters setting out the changes that have occurred since the production of atlases began in the London area, especially since the last one, and a general summary of the bird life/habitats of the London area.
A selection of sample species accounts can be viewed by clicking in the images to the right.
November 1st 2007 saw the start of an exciting new project nationwide, with the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) beginning a new Atlas project to monitor the distribution of the UK’s birds in both winter and the breeding season. The fieldwork for the national Atlas was completed in 2011 and the results were published in 2013.
The LNHS have completed two previous Atlases in London – both in the breeding season at the same time as the previous national Atlases (1968-72 & 1988-94). The findings of the last Atlas were written up in ‘The Breeding Birds of the London Area’ (LNHS, 2002 edited by Jan Hewlett).
Given its target audience, the LNHS sought advertising support as this benefits advertisers, the members and provides a sustainable funding model for the society’s long tradition of producing high quality publications.
The London Natural History Society is very pleased to have the following supporters for the London Bird Atlas.

Ed Sheeran: 'Bieber Collaboration Wouldn't Work'
Give Me Love singer denies reports that he's been in the studio with JB...
Friday, February 8, 2013 - 12:24
Ed Sheeran may have penned songs for Justin Bieber.
Last month, JB's manager Scooter Braun sparked speculation that the red-haired star had teamed-up with Justin, after posting a series of tweets about Ed being in the studio.
However, the Lego House hitmaker has since told The Sun that he was actually helping out US singer Tori Kelly - who Scooter also manages.
He explained: "I met Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun in New York and he said he’s got this artist I want you to write with.
“Next time I was in LA, I was doing Jimmy Kimmel and he brought this girl to Kimmel and I met her straight afterwards. I then went to the studio and did a song.”
When asked about doing a possible track with Biebs, Ed added: "I don’t think a collaboration would work with Justin.
“I think collaborations should be done with people that can actually click. Two male singers makes it very difficult for it to work.”

Have you registered for the CEC convention in Tampa, Florida, Feb. 7-10, yet? For as long as I can remember, CEC has held its conference in April and for the last 15 years or so, it has conflicted with state testing programs! So, CEC leadership decided to move the conference to a time better suited for teachers and others connected with schools. The program will be amazing, and this will be a conference you do not want to miss. Check out all the information from programs to hotels to workshops at the dedicated conference website.
Speaking of the CEC Conference — CASE NIGHT tickets are on sale and going fast! We are so excited about this year's CASE Night — a dinner cruise on Tampa Bay! The boat will leave just steps away from the convention center so no added transportation. Tickets will be $65 but remember it is sponsored so for that amount, you are really getting an event that is worth much more! Our very special sponsors are Star Autism and Sonday System! The tickets are limited so get your tickets today!
The question last week was "Which area of low-incidence disability do you feel you need additional resources (e.g., training, information, instructional materials, service personnel, etc.)?" The number one area at 40 percent was deaf/blind! Coming in 2nd with 27 percent was Autism. At third place with 13 percent was deaf and hard of hearing. There was a three-way tie for last place at 7 percent between blind/visually impaired, intellectual disability and orthopedic impairment. Last week I shared the site for the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University where you can get lots of FREE resources. But did you know that CEC has divisions that deal with these low incidence areas? Check out the other divisions and their websites for great information and resources for you and your teachers!
I hope you have a great week and will continue to enjoy the brisk, cool fall weather! Remember to spend some time thinking about and maybe even writing a gratitude journal. I am grateful for my professional colleagues who have become my good friends!

Reinforcement — A Strategy Brief
Reinforcement is an effective strategy that can be easily administered by teachers and school professionals at the individual, classroom, and school-wide level in order to modify student behavior. With as much empirical support as the theory of gravity, reinforcement is considered to be an effective tool for behavior modification; however, it is significantly under-utilized in schools. Reinforcement can be either positive (e.g., granting access to something contingent upon the desired student behavior) or negative (e.g., removing something contingent upon the desired student behavior) so long as the result is an increase in the behavior of interest. Because it provides such flexibility and relatively little administration or preparation time, reinforcement is a critical tool for school personnel to utilize in order to decrease student misbehavior and improve school climate.

Participate in the Public Input Survey and check out the new resources available for FREE at the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center
The Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University, located in Washington, D.C., is pleased to kick off our public input survey.
The intent of the public input survey is to collect a diverse range of perspectives on areas of need in the education of deaf and hard of hearing children across the United States. Your perspective as a special educator and your role as a key stakeholder will help guide us in determining what resources are needed to support deaf and hard of hearing children across the nation, their families and the professionals who work with them.
Please share this survey with others whom you think can help the Clerc Center determine our resource development and research priorities for the next five years. The survey is available in four languages: ASL, English, Spanish and Mandarin.
The Clerc Center is also pleased to announce a free webcast on K-12 interpreting featuring Dr. Brenda Schick of the University of Colorado — Boulder on Nov. 28. The webcast is pre-recorded so you can watch it at your convenience. An online discussion with Dr. Schick will take place from Nov. 28-30.

Trauma-Informed Classrooms
The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges has published the Trauma-Informed Classrooms Technical Assistance Bulletin.
The impact of students' life experiences on their behavior has garnered increasing attention as schools strive to develop more supportive academic environments that address the needs of at-risk youth and facilitate continued academic engagement. Few events outside the classroom have as profound an impact on multiple domains of student development as traumatic life experiences. Traumatic events can include domestic violence, abuse and neglect, school violence, loss of loved ones, and community violence, just to name a few. The range of student responses to trauma can vary from yelling to isolation. Students who have experienced trauma often have a distorted perception of the world and sense of not being safe. Creating an environment that fosters resilience and offers support to students who may experience a traumatic life event can potentially prevent unwanted disruptive behaviors in the classroom.
This technical assistance bulletin provides a basic understanding of the impact of trauma and adverse life experiences, how those experiences can impact behavior in the classroom, learning how to recognize trauma, and strategies for creating trauma-informed classrooms.
CEC POLICY INSIDER
Urge Congress to eliminate sequestration caps to adequately support NDD programs!
The U.S. Congress has until the continuing resolution runs out on December 8 to pass a fiscal year 2018 budget. It is expected that final defense and non-defense discretionary levels for FY 2018 will be set in a separate budget deal that will lead either to a FY 2018 omnibus appropriations package or a year-long CR. Because no action has been taken by Congress towards a budget deal at this point, it is rumored that Congress will likely extend the CR until Dec. 15. READ MORE

The impact of suspensions on students with disabilities
By: Brian Stack (commentary)
The kind of meeting I hate having the most as a high school principal is one with the parent of a student who has just engaged in behavior in the school that warrants, according to our school board policies, a suspension from school for a period of time. In these kinds of meetings parents and guardians ask, rightly so, what good will come of keeping their child out of school where the child will fall further behind his or her peers. READ MORE
How's DeVos handling a big special education issue?
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos held a roundtable for advocates for children with dyslexia. Also at the meeting was Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a long-time advocate for dyslexia issues. We called up Cassidy, who's a member of the Senate education committee, to discuss how the meeting went and what approach he sees DeVos taking on dyslexia and other issues. This week, our colleague Christina Samuels published a story about the anxiety many special education advocates have felt about DeVos' leadership. When we asked Cassidy about whether he shared those concerns before or after the meeting, he said he was focused on dyslexia specifically and praised DeVos' willingness to hear out different ideas.

Do education spending cuts spell trouble for the country?
By: Sheilamary Koch (commentary)
President Donald Trump's proposed $9.3 billion cut to the federal education budget has angered concerned citizens as well as many educators. The logic is that less investment in education translates into a bleak future for today's youth. Interestingly, a recent report reveals that while federal spending has been fairly stable, overall education spending in the United States has been subtly diminishing over the past few years, even prior to the current administration.

How well does your state support children with dyslexia?
The Hechinger Report
For more than 40 years, federal law has required schools to identify and evaluate students with dyslexia and to provide them with an appropriate education. But in many states across the country that's not happening, according to an examination by APM Reports. While 33 states have passed dyslexia-related legislation in the past five years, accountability is still lacking, funding sparse and confusion widespread throughout U.S. schools about the reading disability.

Does inclusion slow down general education classrooms?
Are educators spending less time on teaching if they have students with disabilities in their classrooms? The answer, based on a survey of teachers from 38 countries, including the United States, is yes — but digging into the data reveals a complex picture that goes beyond inclusion. Across the world, for example, classes with a high percentage of students with disabilities also have teachers with less experience and less training, according to an international survey of teachers. Those classrooms also have higher percentages of students who have behavior problems reported by their teachers that may be separate from the presence of a disability. READ MORE
Technology seeks to preserve fading skill: Braille literacy
For nearly a century, the National Braille Press has churned out millions of pages of Braille books and magazines a year, providing a window on the world for generations of blind people. But as it turns 90 this year, the Boston-based printing press and other advocates of the tactile writing system are wrestling with how to address record low Braille literacy. Roughly 13 percent of U.S. blind students were considered Braille readers in a 2016 survey by the American Printing House for the Blind, another major Braille publisher, located in Louisville, Kentucky. That number has steadily dropped from around 30 percent in 1974, the first year the organization started asking the question. READ MORE
Thousands of children not getting special education help
Tens of thousands of New York City public school children did not receive mandated special education services last year, the education department said in its annual report to the City Council, offering further evidence that eligible children are not getting the education the city is obligated to provide. There are nearly 200,000 students in the city school system with individualized education plans, which means that they are supposed to get services for difficulties like speech impairments, emotional disturbance or learning disabilities. But many thousands of the children each year are not having their needs met. READ MORE

How project-based instruction can ignite your child's love for learning
ADDitude Magazine
The most difficult environment for kids diagnosed with ADHD is the traditional school classroom in which the teacher lectures, the students take notes, and substantial time is given over to writing papers, filling in workbooks, reading textbooks and waiting for the next teacher instruction. The fact is that this isn't a good learning environment for anyone, let alone kids identified as having ADHD. It's just that the kids with the ADHD label are honest enough, or alive enough, or sensitive enough not to want (or be able) to go along with it. READ MORE
Boundaries are more effective than rules
Rules certainly are familiar in a classroom setting. But there are simply too many places where the methods and dynamics of rule-making and enforcing just don’t fit in with my idea of win-win. So what's the alternative? Is there a way for teachers to truly get what they want from their students without creating additional conflicts, resorting to traditional authoritarian power dynamics, or somehow compromising the emotional climate of the classroom?

Learning how bullying happens in order to prevent it
One in four students report being bullied, but not all say they are bullied the same way. And some students are more likely to experience bullying than others. That's what one new survey found after posing questions to more than 180,000 students across 412 schools between 2012 and 2017. The data, collected by the nonprofit organization Youth Truth Student Survey, looked at fifth- through 12th-graders in 37 states. The survey found: 73 percent of students said they were verbally abused, 53 percent reported being socially bullied, 28 percent said they were physically abused and 23 percent of students reported being harassed online.

How to detect the risk of dyslexia before learning to read
FECYT — Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology via Science Daily
Almost 10 percent of the world population suffers dyslexia. Establishing an early diagnosis would allow the development of training programs to palliate this disorder. We now may be nearer to reaching this goal thanks to a study associating auditory processing in children to their reading skills. The results offer a new approach for detecting the risk before the children learn to read. READ MORE
Almost all students with disabilities are capable of graduating on time. Here's why they're not.
As a teenager, Michael McLaughlin wanted to go to college. He had several disabilities, including dyslexia and bipolar disorder, which threatened to make the road ahead more difficult. He sometimes had trouble paying attention in class and understanding directions. He also had an IQ of 115 — on the upper ranges of what is considered average. With help, he should have been able to graduate alongside his classmates, ready to pursue higher education. But instead of graduating from Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Alaska, in four years, he took six. After high school, he did odd jobs for several years. READ MORE
More talking in math class, please
Walk into a classroom in the middle of a math talk and you'll see the students gathered in a circle, taking turns showing each other math strategies and questioning each other about the accuracy and efficiency of their solutions. The students are sharing thoughts about a single high-quality math problem they worked on solving earlier in the period without teacher guidance. They are processing the math in a different way than when they worked with paper and pencils, manipulatives and drawings. READ MORE
Easy, friendly and effective: Behavior tweaks that really work
When our children misbehave, we want to know how to stop the misbehavior as soon as possible. Whether your children are ignoring your instructions, whining or crying when they don't get what they want, begging to buy something each time you go to the store, climbing on furniture, throwing things in anger, being aggressive with you or with siblings, or breaking some other rule, these "stop behaviors" can make parents frustrated. There is much we can do to influence our children — to keep the misbehavior from escalating, to defuse an emotionally charged situation, and to help them stop misbehaving. READ MORE
Teacher leadership is linked to higher student test scores in new study

Dental Neglect In Geriatric Patients Can Have Devastating Well being Consequences
At Asons Solicitors they offer first-class authorized advice, and support, for a variety of claim varieties. Do you have to wish to obtain free initial consultation a couple of potential scientific negligence claim please do contact their specialist staff on 029 2039 1891. They supplied medicines and saline in accordance with the instruction however these were not used properly because of the negligence of the on-duty docs and nurses. But the accused medical doctors or nurses should not punished, said Md Abul Hashem, assistant professor of Kazipur Mohila College.
The nursing scarcity and hospital downsizing have contributed to greater workloads for nurses, growing the chance of error. Advances in expertise require nurses to have knowledge of quite a lot of technologies' capabilities, limitations, and security features. Increased autonomy and duty of hospital nurses in the train of superior nursing skills have additionally led to larger risk of error and liability. She was readmitted to the hospital on January 19 with a analysis of sepsis.
I've reviewed more than 350 trial, appellate, and supreme court docket case summaries, which were drawn from authorized research sources such as the NPDB; regional studies and digests; the LexisNexis database; the Internet portals FindLaw and MedLaw; secondary sources comparable to nursing malpractice insurance info; and skilled newsletters, journals, and books, including Medical Malpractice Legislation & Strategy, Authorized Eagle Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Career, Journal of Authorized Nurse Consulting, Journal of Nursing Legislation, Legal and Moral Issues in Nursing, Nurse's Legal Handbook, and Nursing Apply and the Regulation.
There may be additionally the sixteen p.c of bodily abuse and 20 p.c emotional abuse of nursing home residents who had been emotionally abused, which shouldn't be part of the daily look after a nursing residence resident or the 12 percent of reported caretaker neglect. Authorities should be notified, when the family suspects elder abuse or neglect is happening and another step that can be taken is to consult an skilled nursing dwelling abuse attorney.
When a medical negligence declare is filed towards an NHS Belief, more so than a patient receiving compensation for the bodily and emotional harm that may be caused by poor care, it forces the parties involved to take action. If the NHS adopted a system of working that labored efficiently and did not demand such an unsustainable quantity of service from these individuals, extra time could be invested into care and compassion, in turn lowering medical errors .
Holding the nursing residence and staff accountable when nursing residence abuse or negligence is happening is the a method to make sure that it stops and to protect the nursing home resident who is a family member, but additionally other nursing home residents who may be victims and should not have frequent visitors. A hidden digicam in the room of a nursing house patient suffering from Alzheimer's illness and dementia revealed a pattern of neglect.
The fifty two-yr-outdated local resident was admitted to the personal hospital on Saturday after she complained of severe headache and dizziness. Hospital president J.C. Roy, however, claimed that Kujur both died of cardiac arrest or brain haemorrhage. An officer at Lalpur police station, requesting anonymity, conceded that this was not the first event the private hospital had confronted public ire for alleged negligence.
Suing a healthcare worker for negligence prompts the equipment of the civil law, whereas the new offence is a felony matter. The basic underlying idea includes the concept that instances of alleged negligence are matters between non-public people whereas the commission of a legal offence is a matter between the offender and the State. The hospital came into existence in 1992 and is run by the Roy Memorial Belief.
At its heart, a declare arising out of nursing home abuse or neglect is a medical malpractice declare alleging that the nursing home and its medical employees have been negligent by failing to render proper care to a nursing home resident/affected person, i.e., the nursing dwelling and its medical workers failed to adjust to the applicable normal of care. Goal: Nurses are on the entrance line in encounters with elder neglect.

Home BREAKING NEWS How will the battle over dreamers end? Here are four scenarios.
How will the battle over dreamers end? Here are four scenarios.
Amber Phillips, The Washington Post
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient Gloria Mendoza participates in a demonstration in support of “clean” legislation in New York, U.S., January 10, 2018. Picture taken January 10, 2018. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson
A deadline to protect hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants is less than two weeks away, and it’s looking less and less likely that Washington will act in time to protect them.
So, where does that leave the estimated 700,000 “dreamers” who could face deportation as soon as March 5?
There are a few possibilities, and not all of them are good for dreamers. Here are the likeliest scenarios, in order of least likely to most:
4. Congress strikes a deal in time to protect dreamers from deportation
Any momentum Congress had hit a wall last week after four separate immigration proposals tied to protecting dreamers failed to advance in the Senate.
Even though protecting dreamers is something a majority of Washington wants, it’s really hard to find consensus in the details. Take the bills the Senate debated last week and these thorny questions each tried to answer:
–How many dreamers should be legalized?
–Democrats have largely acquiesced to funding some of Trump’s border wall in exchange for protecting dreamers. But how much? And will the funding be for over the next decade, or immediately? Can that money be used to actually build a wall, or could it be a fence and other construction projects?
–Democrats and some mainstream Republicans also don’t like the idea of curbing legal immigration, like the diversity visa lottery program and ending most family-sponsored visas.
On any one of those questions, Congress can’t find an answer that will win a majority in the more moderate Senate, let alone among the more conservative House Republicans. And even if Congress could come up with a deal, there’s no guarantee President Trump will sign it.
That could explain why, after last week’s votes, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., reportedly thinks the Senate should move on from immigration.
In short, a legislative fix looks like it will not happen anytime soon.
3. Congress doesn’t strike a deal in time, and Trump extends the deadline
Trump is the one who set the March 5 deadline in September after he announced that he was ending the Obama-era program protecting dreamers from deportation. Technically, he could just reset it.
Except the deadline is really more of a political one than a legal one. A federal California judge ordered the Trump administration to keep renewing dreamer protections past the March 5 deadline, and the Trump administration obliged. A federal New York judge also temporarily blocked the administration’s moves to end dreamer protections.
But even if the March 5 deadline were hard-and-fast, the White House has said they aren’t going to extend it. White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told reporters that he doesn’t think the president will push out the deadline for a few reasons:
–He’s not sure the president can, legally
–Congress works best under a deadline, real or not. “What makes them act is pressure,” Kelly said.
2. Congress doesn’t strike a deal in time, and dreamers get deported en masse
After a deadline passes, the ball is in the White House’s court. Trump can decide to deport these dreamers or extend the deadline.
So far, it doesn’t look like he’s considering extending the deadline. Which leaves … well, Trump has hinted that dreamers shouldn’t expect any more protections after Congress failed to find a deal.
“This will be our last chance,” Trump tweeted last week as the Senate was voting.
Still, deporting dreamers en masse would be practically unreasonable and politically risky. Brought to the country as children, fluent in English and arguably as American as someone with citizenship, dreamers are a group that it is easy to have sympathy for. A January Quinnipiac University poll found that even 49 percent of Republicans support legalizing dreamers.
And a February Quinnipiac poll found that a majority of Americans would blame Republicans if dreamers got deported.
That could help explain what Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst with the libertarian Cato Institute, is seeing: Cities and counties aren’t cooperating with federal agents to round up undocumented immigrants nearly as much as they were during the Obama administration. Legally, Trump can’t crack down on sanctuary cities with the wave of his pen (and a bill to help him do that failed in the Senate, though the House did pass one.)
1. Congress doesn’t get a deal, and dreamers just kinda fade into the shadows
This is the likeliest option because it’s the one that’s already happening. Nowrasteh said some 100 dreamers a day are losing their status, and some are getting deported when federal officials do raids, like the handful they’ve done in California and at 7/11 stores nationwide.
Absent a deal to protect them, and absent a deadline, this slow-and-steady fade of dreamers back into the shadows, or back to a home they never knew, will probably keep happening. And since it’s not as dramatic as dreamers all losing their protections at once, there may not be as much public pressure for Congress to act to protect them.
“It will continue to be the slow burn that it already is, where dreamers who come into contact with law enforcement will be deported,” he said. “They just fade back into the shadows.”

NFL Power Rankings, Week 8: Raiders enter top half; Colts drop
By Elliot Harrison
NFL.com Analyst

Updated: Oct. 27, 2015 at 01:24 p.m.
2019 NFL head coach power rankings: Bill Belichick still No. 1
Post-draft league hierarchy: New team in the No. 1 spot
Continuity is the theme of the Week 8 Power Rankings.
This week's hierarchy features a familiar ruling class. Considering three of the top five teams were off last week, though, that was to be expected. Still, the campaigning has already begun ...
@HarrisonNFL Steelers lose to a Kansas team missing their best player but get Ben back this week. Should make for interesting power ranking!
â Matthew Berry (@BezThinks) October 25, 2015
The Jayhawks are 0-7, dude. The Steelers should've dominated them.
But yes, BezThinks, you bring up a valid point. Remember, these are the Power Rankings, not the Power Standings, so you won't see a freefall from the Steelers this week. Not when they're about to get back their most important player. Another team only dropped a smidge after a gut-wrenching loss because it, too, is on the verge of welcoming back a top-flight player. I won't give away the franchise, but it might rhyme with Halas wow toys.
For full analysis of all 32 NFL teams, take a gander below. Send me your take on the Twitter: @HarrisonNFL is the place. Will be responding Tuesday afternoon. And it's fun to interact on Twitter ...
Why do others even try? Everyone knows @HarrisonNFL power rankings are the only real ones
â SPOOKEE (@SalteeMusic) October 26, 2015
(Don't put it past me to create a fake Twitter profile.)
OK ... Let the dissension commence!
NOTE: The lineup below reflects changes from our Oct. 20 Power Rankings.
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | Preseason
6-0 PATRIOTS
New England holds on to the top spot in the rankings, surviving a typical Jets-Patriots battle that was as hard-fought as any Foxborough entry in this series has been in recent history. Coming in, the last three Jets- Patriots games in New England were settled by three points or less. Of all the points of fact about this AFC East battle, including Rob Gronkowski's career-high 11 catches, my favorite nugget came after Tom Brady's lunging quarterback sneak ...
Tom Brady 91-for-100 on third- and fourth-and-1 as a runner during his career.
â Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) October 25, 2015
6-0 PACKERS
Much speculation about Eddie Lacy and his lack of production thus far this season, with some people wondering if he has a gut. Whether the guy has cookie belly right now or not, methinks Lacy will be a big part of the Packers' success late in the year. Meanwhile, Randall Cobb is the player whose output has really slowed down. Cobb -- whose yards-per-catch mark is down to 11.7 from 14.1 last season -- has been dealing with a shoulder problem that might be impacting him more than has been let on. Bye week equals rest week.
6-0 BENGALS
It was also a bye week for the Bengals, who, like the Packers above them here, are rolling. In fact, in the last couple of weeks, Cincy has been more impressive than the Cheeseheads, who barely dodged overtime in beating the Chargers in Week 6. Remember, though, that San Diego played the Bengals every bit as tough at Paul Brown Stadium in Week 2. So we're not ready to swap our Nos. 2 and 3 teams just yet.
6-0 PANTHERS
Carolina cruises on, playing a stifling brand of defense that doesn't allow for opponents to get away with the tiny mistakes that can often be masked by big plays. Sure, Ryan Mathews broke a big gainer Sunday night, but there wasn't enough of that from Philly to compensate for drops, penalties and Sam Bradford misfires. Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis roamed sideline to sideline, making tackles and, in Davis' case, ensuring ball carriers remembered his jarring hits. The pass rush was almost as striking, especially the push Kawann Short was delivering in the middle. #undefeated #RiverboatRon #'96 Panthers #Ginnhashands #football
6-0 BRONCOS
Restful times for the Broncos, or at least a break from the persistent (and annoying) questions about Peyton Manning. There is so much more to a football team than the quarterback, like a defense constantly being asked to bail out its offense, a much-hyped back doing nothing this year, a WR1 dropping passes ... You know, hypothetical stuff.
6-1 FALCONS
The Falcons survived a scare in Nashville despite Matt Ryan being off for the better part of the day. The franchise quarterback missed Julio Jones twice in the end zone, ultimately finishing 22 of 38 for 251 yards with a touchdown to Jones and two picks. The defense did its job, however, repeatedly halting Titans progress on drives, forcing the Mettenbergers to go 1 for 9 on third down and picking off the young passer late to seal the deal.
4-2 JETS
No drop for the Jets, based on their valiant effort on the road (kinda like last season's blocked-kick debacle). Yet, the loss in Foxborough still represents a key L in the division standings. Some might feel the Jets are playing for the wild card, but don't tell Todd Bowles' guys that. Unfortunately, covering Gronk is a necessary part of the equation when it comes to unseating the Pats in the AFC East these days.
4-3 STEELERS
No dip for Pittsburgh after a double-digit loss to the Chiefs? Not when Ben Roethlisberger's likely to return to the huddle.
On Sunday, the Steelers truly looked like a team with a backup QB under center (finally) in Arrowhead against a desperate Chiefs team. That's a tough assignment for a veteran quarterback, much less a guy making his first NFL start. Landry Jones' day: 16 of 29 with a TD and two picks. More important: Pittsburgh's ineptitude on third down (2 for 10). Most important: The Steelers stayed afloat sans Big Ben by going 2-2, giving them a 4-3 mark overall. What if they beat the Bengals at Heinz this week?
5-2 CARDINALS
What appeared to be a game in control evolved -- or devolved -- into a furious ending in the desert. Furious pass rush from Dwight Freeney, too -- the 35-year-old was bringing the heat on that final drive. Freeney, Chris Johnson (who stunningly ranks second in the NFL in rushing) and Larry Fitzgerald: Three veterans written off by many who are now key pieces of a 5-2 first-place puzzle. Quietly efficient game from Carson Palmer on Monday night, as well. In other MNF news, Jon Gruden has a large man crush on Tyrann Mathieu.
4-2 VIKINGS
The Vikings are 4-2. How many football fans outside of Minnesota even realize that? If the season ended today, take a wild guess as to who would hold the second wild-card slot in the NFC ...
If Teddy Bridgewater can continue to play like he did at Ford Field, and Adrian Peterson gets some of that top-end speed back (like on this second-half run on Sunday), this Vikes club will be no joke come January, especially with a defense that is allowing the second-fewest points per game in the NFL. While you're here, though, watch a catch that is, oh, about a 10 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. Geez Louise, Stefon Diggs looks super.
3-4 EAGLES
Leaving the Eagles alone, at least for now, even though they're above some teams with slightly better records. Of the 3-3 clubs below them -- the Rams, Raiders and Dolphins -- there isn't one that would have won in Carolina on Sunday night against that stingy Panther defense. The Monday night blowout of the Giants was far too recent to ignore, so Philly stays ahead of Big Blue, as well. Eagles receivers sure would help matters if they, you know, received the ball.
4-3 GIANTS
What a significant win for the Giants on Sunday -- at least in the long view, as it evened their division record at 2-2. Splitting with Dallas was of prime importance, especially if the Cowboys go on a run when Tony Romo returns. Big Blue now has two winnable games on the road -- at New Orleans and Tampa Bay -- before hosting the Patriots in Week 10. I'm not suggesting those are easy contests for a team that is struggling on offense, but you have to surmise that the Giants can at least split those two roadies, if not take both. No other NFC East team will be better than 5-4 heading into Week 10.
3-3 RAMS
Painfully obvious statement of this week's Rankings: This Todd Gurley kid is exciting. Watching him motor through the Browns' second level on his second career touchdown, I was not only struck by his immense talent, but also the possibility that he is already the second-best running back in the league (behind only Le'Veon Bell). In this era, RBs are at their best in their first five or six years, a career signpost Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles and Marshawn Lynch have already run past. Next up: the 49ers team that Beast Mode just chewed up.
3-4 SEAHAWKS
Dominant performance authored by the defense last Thursday night. Richard Sherman looked like he just left the reggae club with his one-foot-tall Seahawks beanie in postgame. And that's OK when you play like he -- and the rest of that secondary -- did versus Colin Kaepernick. Of course, the job was made easier by a pass rush that came alive with six sacks. That front four's dominance in spots early this season had been overlooked. The unit sure showed up in Santa Clara.
3-3 RAIDERS
Positive vibes all around for the Raiders. In fact, on "NFL Now Gameday Blitz" this past Sunday, I felt compelled to remind all of our analysts that they had better include Oakland in the AFC wild-card discussion. We went around the set, with guys naming numerous teams -- and nary a mention of the Silver and Black. I'm here for you, Raider Nation.
The key for this group now will be to not let up like we saw in Chicago a few weeks back. That's your gig, Jack Del Rio.
In other news, only Todd Gurley is attempting to take a little bottle of whiteout to Amari Cooper's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
3-4 BILLS
Horrible loss for the Bills on multiple levels. One thing that wasn't their fault: That PI call late on the Jaguars' go-ahead touchdown drive. Disgusting. That said, EJ Manuel put the team behind the eight ball early and often -- and didn't make up for it late, either. Of course, better play calling could have helped out the young QB. That fourth-and-2 play -- going empty backfield with no threat of a run, and asking Manuel to throw across his body to his left -- defied explanation. Still, Manuel absolutely could have put more mustard on that ball. As one of my Twitter peeps mentioned, it looks like Manuel doesn't trust what he sees out there, which makes his balls come out late. That sounded bad. You know what I meant.
3-3 DOLPHINS
Holy Dan Campbell, the Dolphins look fantastic. Savvy move, Miami management, to make the coaching change with a bye and two dumpster-fire teams on the horizon. Good stuff. After Sunday's shellacking of the Texans, Ryan Tannehill looked happier than a $100 millionaire who just bought an "Eight Is Enough" button-down and wore it to the postgame. And why shouldn't he? Twenty-five completions in a row, a running game and a pass rush. Christmas comes early for RT. The Jarvis Landry touchdown was equal parts brilliant running after the catch and poor tackling. Can we get some Next Gen stats on that play? Landry ran, like, 203 yards on a 50-yard catch-and-run. Even some D-lineman named Ndamukong had two sacks. Great day for that developmental prospect.
3-4 REDSKINS
Hey, Kirk: I like that. And I can love you like that. Hardly anyone believed in the Washington quarterback. By the second quarter on Sunday, Robert Griffin III suddenly became a hot topic yet again. And professionally, I was starting to wonder if my endorsement of Mr. Cousins as a fantasy spot start on "NFL HQ" was going to earn me something pink -- and no, I'm not referring to the Breast Cancer Awareness gear we're all wearing. Then Cousins started lighting it up. And Washington's defense tightened, even with its best player hurt. What a comeback for the still-relevant-in-the-shoddy-NFC East Redskins.
3-4 SAINTS
Can somebody wake up the Saints and let them know it's not 2009? Talk about eerie ... The manner in which New Orleans bested the Colts on Sunday is precisely how Sean Payton's club rolled in '09 -- when, by the way, it won the Super Bowl. Forcing timely turnovers (the Saints forced 39 that year) on defense and unleashing a potent, balanced attack on offense. On the ground, Mark Ingram plowed for 143 yards and a touchdown (on just 14 carries), while Khiry Robinson added two rushing touchdowns. Then, fittingly, the game-sealer came courtesy of a Drew Brees-to-Marques Colston third-down completion. Party like it's 2009!
3-4 COLTS
The early returns are quickly becoming midseason returns -- even Colts fans are acknowledging that this just isn't a very good football team. Are the Colts horrible? No. But Indianapolis simply doesn't have the defense, depth or special teams to overcome multiple Andrew Luck turnovers. Luck now has 10 giveaways in five games this season, and 20 in his last 12 games (going back to the beginning of last December). Moreover, Luck's passer rating during that latter span is a not-sterling 73.6. #justthefacts
2-5 CHARGERS
If you turned on Raiders-Chargers late, you might have thought this game was competitive. It wasn't. Oakland largely dominated coordinator John Pagano's defense, with a little let-up in the second half. Giving up 7.1 yards per play isn't going to accomplish much, other than chalking up a big, fat loss.
Bolts back Danny Woodhead caught 11 passes, including his first two touchdown receptions since 2013. The reason I bring that up? To applaud Woodhead for knowing the score and refraining from acting like an idiot. After scoring both touchdowns, Woodhead simply tossed the ball to the ref -- instead of dunking the football like so many other dudes do, even when their team is getting pummeled. Well, not that Woodhead could dunk, but he could finger-roll or jump-hook or ... Whatever, you get the point.
2-4 COWBOYS
Glad Matt Cassel did Steve Pelluer's legendary No. 16 justice out there in the New Meadowlands. The new man under center made a few plays -- including tossing a perfect ball on the run for a touchdown to Devin Street -- but the Cowboys could not overcome three interceptions, or a couple of major special-teams miscues by the kick-coverage units and Blonde Rambo. Tell you what: That Dallas defense allowed just 13 points. Looks different.
2-5 BROWNS
After down-to-the-wire contests against the Raiders, Chargers, Ravens and Broncos, Cleveland laid a brown ... egg? ... on the turf in St. Louis. Penalties, stalled drives and Todd Gurley destroyed the Browns in the 24-6 loss. The four fumbles weren't too helpful, either. This game pretty much sucked for the Brownies.
2-5 49ERS
Gnarly, man. That's what Thursday night's game was for San Francisco. Not that people use that kind of language anymore in the Bay Area, which has been overrun by techies and $5 million condos. Complain about Colin Kaepernick all you want, but the entire offense stunk it up, with only 142 total yards. At least the Niners made up for it by going 1 for 11 on third-down conversions. Back to Kaepernick for a second: Is he required to wear those Beats headphones in the postgame? I'd like to think he had them plugged into a MacBook, watching game film in solitude after that showing. Maybe?
2-4 BEARS
The Bears were off last week ... and the Cubbies are off this week. Too soon? I am old enough to remember Leon Durham and his sweet glasses. And I think I had the hologram baseball card that showed Will Clark going yard on Greg Maddux in the 1989 NLCS. I'm saying it right now: Cubs vs. Rangers in the 2016 World Series.
Oh, yeah: the Bears! Well, with no game last week ... Glad Matt Forte didn't get traded. #Week8
2-4 BUCCANEERS
You know the Bucs are kicking themselves for blowing that 24-nothing lead at FedExField. It's bad enough if you blow that kind of lead to Johnny Unitas or Kenny Stabler. But Kirk Cousins? Oh man, what a missed opportunity for the Bucs, who had a chance to even their record at 3-3 (and eclipse last season's win total in Week 7). In case you missed it, though, another huge day of production from Doug Martin, who accounted for 171 yards from scrimmage.
2-5 CHIEFS
Congrats to the Chiefs on earning a much-needed W in front of the home folk. Big plays all around, from Eric Berry's interception to Charcandrick West's first career touchdown to Tamba Hali's strip-sack. Everyone has been rooting for Berry since he returned from beating cancer. The fantasy football masses were all over West on the waiver wire as soon as the grim news poured in on Jamaal Charles. Hali, however, had only one sack to his name coming into the matchup with the Steelers. Five tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble that ended scant Pittsburgh hopes made for a delightful day for No. 91 in red.
2-5 JAGUARS
What a win for the entire Jaguars organization. I'm talking players, coaches and front-office folks. Sure, the offense got bailed out by that terrible PI call on Nickell Robey late in the fourth quarter. Yet, give the Jags -- especially Allen Hurns -- credit for making plays in the waning moments. Hurns' lunging, twisting, shoulder-slamming grab was outstanding. Want to see it again? Enjoy.
1-6 RAVENS
Another close loss for the Ravens, who continue to look for guys like Crockett Gillmore to make plays in the most critical of moments. The player who set up Baltimore in Cardinals territory late was none other than the very recently acquired Chris Givens. Despite the makeshift offensive line and secondary, Baltimore hangs in every game. One dude doing more than merely staying viable is Elvis Dumervil, who continues to beat single blocking at the point of attack. More Dumervil, less rookies -- that's the ticket, John Harbaugh.
1-5 TITANS
Been a while since the Titans blew away the Bucs -- and football fans everywhere -- with that drubbing in Week 1. Five losses later, Ken Whisenhunt doesn't seem to have any answers, much like in 2014. The sad thing on Sunday -- or, at least, the thing that was obscured by another loss -- was the brilliant play of Tennessee's defense for the majority of the afternoon. The Falcons came in averaging a healthy 30.5 points per game -- and left Nashville with 10. Can't do much better than that. Unfortunately, Zach Mettenberger -- who was filling in for the injured Marcus Mariota -- couldn't get the ball downfield and tossed a pair of interceptions.
1-6 LIONS
Fast start ... then wot happened? The doldrums didn't begin with third down, but drives sure ended there. Detroit couldn't buy a conversion. In fact, after converting their first attempt -- on a 46-yard completion to Calvin Johnson -- the Lions failed to have a successful third down the rest of the game. Surprising end-zone drop by Theo Riddick, who leads all NFC running backs in catches and has been one of the Lions' only reliable offensive players this season.
On Monday, the Lions canned three offensive coaches, including coordinator Joe Lombardi. The new offensive boss? Jim Bob Cooter. Yes, that's a real name.
2-5 TEXANS
You know it's bad when a team's fans are actually lobbying you to make them No. 32. So, you're welcome, Texans fans. While they probably are aware of this stat by now, the following is a tasty treat for the other readers who made it all the way to the bottom of the Power Rankings: At one point in the second quarter Sunday, Miami had 35 points while Houston had zero yards of offense. Read that line again. That might be the most amazing stat I've ever seen. No, that is the most amazing stat I've ever seen.

A Peek at 10 New Books for Spring Reading
The most anticipated books due for publication this spring include titles about the women’s movement, aging and New York City. Among the authors: Barbara Ehrenreich, Anna Quindlen and Meg Wolitzer.
By Grace Lichtenstein
Here’s an advance peek:
1. The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer (April, $28, Riverhead, 464 pages)
Wolitzer’s previous novel, The Interestings, was a multi-character read about a group of kids who met in camp and grew up interlocked. Her new book is likely to be a best-seller, partly because the publicity engine is already gearing up and partly because the central figure is a Gloria Steinem-like character named Faith Frank, who mentors Greer, a smart but initially underachieving younger woman.
Faith meets and inspires Greer at a college reading. After Greer graduates, Faith hires her to work for Faith’s nonprofit speakers forum, called Loci. Other central figures include Greer’s boyfriend, who appears to have a glittering future, her gay best friend, and Faith’s investing angel, a billionaire perhaps resembling Mortimer Zuckerman. The book touches upon caregiving, women’s ambitions, the responsibilities of second wave feminism and other hot topics. I found the plot to be engaging and the characters suitably complicated.
2. Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying and Killing Ourselves to Live Longer by Barbara Ehrenreich (April, $27, Twelve Publisher, 256 pages)
Ehrenreich, who gave us Nickel and Dimed, skewers the wellness industry as it urges us senior women to eat this and not that, to exercise without mercy and to undergo medical procedures we might not need. I loved reading the first segment, which includes a jeremiad against diets, annual doctor exams, colonoscopies and their ilk. As the author has a PhD in cellular biology, she lost me a bit talking about the science of aging. But she won me back as she crusaded about our obsession with longevity. Ehrenreich is never less than controversial and always has a fascinating point of view.
3. The Woman’s Hour: The Last Furious Fight to Win the Vote by Elaine Weiss (March, $28, Viking, 391 pages)
Did you join the Women’s March this year or last? Well, here is a fast-paced account of an earlier suffrage “march” focusing on the weeks in 1920 when Carrie Chapman Catt and two other leaders charged into Nashville, determined to win Tennessee’s key ratification of the 19th amendment.
But the “Suffs” had an opposition group to contend with led by Charlotte Rowe, field secretary of the National Association Opposed to Women’s Suffrage. (Ida Tarbell, the famous female muckraker, was also hostile to the suffragist cause.) The fight led to confrontations in courthouses, the governor’s mansion and the statehouse. “There is a heartening, even thrilling lesson to be found here…ordinary women banding together to become activists….” writes Weiss. It’s a victorious, timely tale, vividly told.
4. Alternate Side by Anna Quindlen (March, $28, Random House, 304 pages)
Count me a Quindlen fan: we were colleagues at the New York Times and I watched her blossom from reporter to columnist to novelist. Her novels are always accessible, filled with characters and situations you recognize. Her forthcoming book is no exception; it’s the quintessential Upper West Side book, profiling a couple, Nora and Charlie, who live near other couples, each in their own brownstones, on a dead-end street. Is their marriage also at a dead end?
The book tackles first-world problems—not just parking spaces, but picking up doggie poop, sharing a Hispanic handyman, what not to tell your female lunch gang, mortgages, and how to change jobs when you are over 40. The novel has realistic dialogue and a female-empowerment theme. Chances are you’ll identify with the characters, or at least know others who are in similar circumstances.
5. Your Story Is Your Power: Free Your Feminine Voice, written by psychotherapist Susie Herrick and designed and illustrated by Elle Luna (March, $17.95, Workman, 180 pages)
An inspirational how-to book, told in graphics and text, showing women readers the steps to female power, truth and action. Its hand-drawn graphics and step-by-step questions (Are you an Investigator? Individualist? Peacemaker? Achiever? Caretaker?) may be off-putting to readers not interested in self-help guides. But if this approach appeals to you, so will the book.
6. Sunburn by Laura Lippman (late February, $27, William Morrow, 292 pages)
Many of us mourn the death of Sue Grafton and plucky Kinsey Milhone, the P.I. of her alphabetical series. But happily there are other terrific female suspense and crime novelists on the scene. Lippman is among the very best. Her latest mystery, set near the Delaware shore, begins with a woman who calls herself Polly, who sneaks away, abandoning her husband and their three-year-old child. Polly lands in a scruffy town, where she becomes a bartender. Soon she takes up with a short-order cook. Intrigued? So was I. Polly and her lover, not surprisingly, each have a backstory. The ending is a jolt; I didn’t see it coming.
Finally—some titles that look intriguing; I have not read them yet:
7. Keep Marching: How Every Woman Can Take Action and Change Our World by Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (May, $16.99, Hachette, 336 pages)
Rowe-Finkbeiner is the 48-year-old co-founder of Moms Rising and a speaker at the Women’s March. The book shows women how to organize groups to stand behind specific issues like sexual assault, family leave, affordable health care and others
8. Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest To Make Doctors Believe in Women’s Pain by Abby Norman (March, $27, The Nation, 304 pages)
A memoir and health-issues book about the author’s experience with endometriosis. It also touches on other conditions that go untreated or are dismissed in women’s lives. A full-throated demand for attention.
9. Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein by Jaimie Bernstein (June, $29, Harper Collins, 400 pages)
Let’s hand it to the oldest daughter of Leonard Bernstein to come up with the catchiest title on this list. If you loved Leonard Bernstein as a composer, conductor, educator and/or all-around music man—and I certainly did—you can look forward to what promises to be an intimate portrait about Jamie’s dad. Jamie herself is no slouch; she is an accomplished narrator, documentarian and keeper of the flame, especially in this centennial Lenny year.
10. Not That Bad: Dispatches from the Rape Culture edited by Roxane Gay (May, $11, Harper Perennial, 368 pages)
A timely book with an introduction by Roxane Gay, a fine writer, who shares her own rape story. She also presents original and previously published real life stories about sexual assault, harassment and how women have been “routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gas lit, insulted and bullied” for speaking out.
Grace Lichtenstein is a former New York Times reporter and bureau chief, the author of six books and a contributor to numerous national magazines.

About PNOC
Collaborating Sites
Working to understand how brain tumors develop in children and identify personalized treatment strategies.
The Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) is a network of 18 children’s hospitals that conduct clinical trials of new therapies for children with brain tumors. Our goal is to improve outcomes by translating the latest findings in cancer biology into better treatments for these children.
Patients with brain tumors that cannot be treated with standard therapy, or that have recurred following standard therapy, are often eligible for clinical trials. Clinical trials provide access to promising new treatments that may not be available outside specialized centers.
At PNOC, our focus is personalized medicine – testing new therapies that are specific to the biology of each patient’s tumor to maximize their effectiveness. Our goal is to improve overall outcome for children with brain tumors.

Home Business Local company awarded Dave & Buster’s project
Local company awarded Dave & Buster’s project
A local company will be constructing the new Dave & Buster’s at Belden Village Mall.
Dave & Busters is coming to Belden Village Mall (Photo provided)
Eckinger Construction Company, based in Canton, recently began construction on the inside portion of Dave & Buster’s.
“We are excited to have gotten this project locally,” Eckinger Construction Company Vice President Jeremy Eckinger said.
Dave & Buster’s is taking over approximately 34,000 square-feet of the upstairs floor of the Sears’ store at Belden Village Mall. Earlier this year, Sears downsized their store to just the first floor and is expected to remodel the space and remain open.
The entire Sears’ property is owned by Seritage Growth Properties. Plans call for an additional tenant to occupy approximately the remaining 25,000 square-feet on the second floor with access on the north side near Chili’s restaurant. There will also be three smaller tenants on the lower level on the south side of the property. Eckinger said he isn’t aware of any leases being signed for the other spaces.
Access to Dave & Buster’s will be from the Belden Village Street side and Eckinger said there will be a passenger elevator and stairs which guests will take to access the second floor.
Eckinger said his company has worked with Dave & Buster’s since 2002 on building several locations along with remodeling many others. He said the company has traveled all over the United State remodeling locations and just a few years ago remodeled the Westlake location.
Second floor Dave & Buster’s are a pretty common model, he said, as one location Eckinger worked on in Orlando has the parking beneath the location and customers ride an elevator from the parking area.
Construction will take several months to complete but the goal is to open the new location in late October.
“There is nothing else quite like it in Stark County,” Eckinger said. “It is going to be a great place to watch sports.”

Two Great Guys
The following article and photo appeared on the Ottawa Senators' web site today. Please pray for Chris and the rest of the Neil family. THANK YOU!
Senators regroup after sad news to beat Hurricanes
Forward Mike Fisher, right, a close friend to Chris Neil, left, and his family, spoke about the attitudes of the players during what turned out to be a 5-3 win during a tragic day.
Teammates rally in support of Neil...
The Ottawa Senators wanted to put in a hard-working effort against the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night after learning just a few hours earlier that teammate Chris Neil had lost his mother Bonnie in a single-vehicle car accident.
Forward Mike Fisher, a close friend to Neil and his family, spoke about the attitudes of the players during what turned out to be a 5-3 win during a tragic day.
“When things like that happen it really shows you how important family and relationships are. We played for Neiler and his family. He’s the heart and soul of our team. He always gives his best, that’s what we wanted to do. She was so proud of what Chris has done. I felt tonnes of different emotions (during the game) but I tried to channel them.”
Fisher said Mrs. Neil reminded him a lot of his mother.
“I knew her pretty well and she was a huge part of that family. She was an unbelievable person. It’s hard to put in words all she has done for Chris and his family. That family is so close. I see a lot of my mom in her, and it’s tough to see what Chris is going through. I can’t imagine it. It breaks your heart.”
Captain Daniel Alfredsson said the Senators were motivated to play well for the Neil family Tuesday night.
“It was a hard day for all of us. We felt for him. In respect to the family, the best thing we could do was focus and play hard to win.”
Senators coach Bryan Murray said it was a very quiet ride to the arena prior to the game. “Chris has been here a while. You build bonds and you become brothers, really. It really struck home. We all owe an awful lot to our parents. They take us to the rinks early in the morning, carry our kit bags to the car….”
The memorial service will take place Saturday, Nov. 26, at 11 a.m. at St. John’s United Church in Flesherton, Ont.
Memorial donations can be made to:
Flesherton Minor Sports (please indicate if the donation is to go to hockey, baseball or figure skating)
c/o Fawcett Funeral Home, 1 Highland Drive, Flesherton, ON Canada N0C 1E0
519-924-2810 or to your local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Which is amongst the ideal we have actually played with, easily matching up with the vibrancy as well as sharpness located on the Galaxy Watch and also Apple Watch Series 4. Also with constant heart price tracking transformed on, we've just had to charge the Watch GT once throughout our three weeks of use.There's now new Huawei Watch GT Energetic as well as Sophisticated editions that offers a much less stylish appearance but comes with all of the same attributes adding a brand-new Triathlon monitoring setting.
Having a miniature computer strapped around your wrist is no more a wishful thinking. The Apple Watch and also other choices from prominent manufacturers, like Fitbit, Samsung, LG, and also Fossil, have been gunning to craft the very best smartwatch. Currently a few years elder, the smartwatch market provides more than ever before, whether you desire a certain design, iOS as well as Android phone compatibility, or simply a lot of features.Smartwatches remain in rude
health and wellness yet when it comes to the finest smartwatch in 2019, it's most certainly the Apple Watch Series 4. It comes at a cost, and there are so many top smartwatches at less expensive prices and with just as good fitness features.Whether you're looking for a wonderful smartwatch for physical fitness tracking, running or a just taking calls and also notifications-- there are lots of wonderful options for every budget plan. What's even more, smartwatches are obtaining more trendy too.Today's best smartwatch offers f you have actually got an Android phone, the Apple Watch will not operate at all, and also
the finest alternative here is Samsung
's Galaxy Watch. The Galaxy Watch does deal with both apples iphone as well as Android tools, but it's finest with an Android phone, and especially, one made by Samsung.The Galaxy Watch has most all of the functions you would certainly anticipate on a contemporary smartwatch: GPS, touchscreen, multi-day battery life, voice control, mobile repayments, as well as heart price monitoring. It has a round face that's easy to check out inside your home and also out, as well as has an extremely helpful always-on mode that makes it simple to see the moment at a glance.We're approximately four years into the Great Modern Smartwatch Experiment, which means we have actually discovered what smartwatches can be helpful for
(fitness tracking, notices )and also what they are absolutely not great for(changing your mobile phone entirely). If you remain in the marketplace for a smartwatch, whether that's since you've never had one previously and also wonder regarding them or you're aiming to update your older-generation model, you can anticipate today's smartwatches to last a little bit much longer in between charges, be a little faster to complete things, and also probably do a number of new techniques you weren't expecting.But the most effective smartwatch is still quite a slave to a smart device, and also if you shell out for an LTE-connected version and also pay a service strategy cost for it, it's not going
to release you entirely. Therefore, we do not believe LTE smartwatches are an excellent buy for the majority of people-- it's much simpler and also cheaper to simply maintain your phone with you and also use your watch as a type of remote control for the phone in your pocket or bag.Which smartwatch you choose is going to be based completely on what phone you own, so our picks are broken down right into the very best choice for apple iphone customers as well as the ideal one for Android owners.The Apple Watch Series 4 is as close to smartwatch excellence as we have actually attended date-- it's a powerful and flexible wearable that can use a significant variety of attributes. While those searching for a straightforward smartwatch might locate the Series 4's substantial array of physical fitness, health and also connected functions to be excessive, it has the ability to change between physical fitness tracker, sporting activities enjoy as well as major wellness tool at will, making it a serious group pleaser.Apple's latest View enhancement provides us the most significant layout change since the original, bringing brand-new 40mm as well as 44mm dimensions (in comparison to 38mm and 42mm). That means more area to reveal off all the most current software application features introduced in watchOS 5. It has all the same core physical fitness and sporting activities tracking as the Collection 3, consisting of built-in GENERAL PRACTITIONERS
for tracking of exterior exercises and a swimproof layout. Fitness monitoring analysis might delay Fitbit, yet Apple's one-of-a-kind goals-- represented by the closing of Move, Stand and also Calorie rings-- is still an effective incentive. There's still no native sleep monitoring
here, however this can be done via a third celebration app.The headline functions are the new ECG screen that unlocks the capability for major heart health and wellness tracking. It's been FDA got rid of, so the feature can be made use of to detect heart rhythm abnormalities. It's now available outside of the US with Apple adding 19 even more countries that can examine in on their heart wellness from the brand-new Watch. You additionally do not have to do that by hand, and the Apple Watch continually monitors for low
and also elevated heart rates, in addition to AFib. There's likewise a brand-new autumn detection mode that can let individuals access Siri to call emergency services or an emergency contact.If you are seeking a terrific smartwatch that does not cost a whole lot of cash, the S928 Sports Watch could be an excellent choice. It is one of the cheapest smartwatch on my listing, and while I am typically adamant when it comes to checking such items, it captivated me to the core.The watch is made instead simply, and rather than having a fancy display screen or high resolution, it makes use of a basic, single display. Honestly, I do incline that in any way, smartwatches are everything about being simplistic in my point of view, and also the S928 Sports Watch does an excellent task at that.Where it does not have a display screen, the S928 Sports Watch composes by providing a few of the most effective functions that you can want in a smartwatch. In order to make points simpler for the viewers, I am providing down the attributes below.Heart Rate Monitor: The watch comes with a heart rate screen that is able to offer actual time heart rate updates.GPS: The S928 Sports Watch also come with an integrated in 3D accelerometer +gyroscope3D, allowing the customers to be able to track every action they make throughout their exercise regime.Outdoor Data: The watch is additionally qualified of maintaining a document of the outdoor information, meaning that you obtain actual time updates on exactly how the weather is outdoors. Permitting you to be able to intend your exercise carefully.These are some of the sophisticated or basic features that are in the watch. While they may not look sufficient, it is essential to recognize that these attributes function throughout the entire environment of the
watch, permitting these sensors to take full control of the situation.The smartwatch can be controlled through an app that is offered on both iOS and Android. Truthfully, the application is as fundamental as it can get, as well as can utilize a little bit
extra polish. There are a few even more things that I did not understand regarding the watch; you can not change the time format to 12 hrs if you desire to.In enhancement to that, the watch itself just sustains English as a language, while the application itself has 12 languages in total amount. This inconsistency can be a concern for people that do not have English as their key language, as well as despite the fact that 12 languages behave to have, they are just enough.The excellent point below is that the application is being continuously upgraded by the programmer, so I can assume that added
languages will be included sometime in the future. Same goes with the watch as the firmware can be updated when released.All in all, the S928 is a respectable smartwatch for Android, it is economical, functions as it is meant to, and also does not included unnecessary features that can drain the battery. I would certainly claim that this smartwatch includes the bare fundamentals, and most definitely has a market amongst the giants.Sure, the lack of innovative features, as well as languages is disconcerting, but you likewise need to take price right into consideration when you are evaluating a product.Although smartwatches have existed for a long, very long time, their foray right into the mainstream is only current. With companies like Samsung, Apple, Asus, Huawei, and also several others are working day and also evening to enhance the watches, as well as really make the experience a great deal better.Amidst all this, there lies the customer mindset that still thinks that the conventional, analog watches are way, means much better as they are crafted with terrific accuracy, in addition to excellence. This has actually brought about various debates just how smartwatches shouldn't exist, or are considered bane of the wrist watch concept.Still, for individuals who really favor their watches present all the needed info that comes
to their phone, all linked into one ecological community really consider smartwatches to be extremely helpful, and also adhering to that into the market, the smartwatch industry at this moment is producing a different entity for itself.The Series 4 comes packing LTE when again so you can take it out sans apple iphone as well as still make/receive telephone calls, get messages and all other notifications you would certainly on your phone. A brand-new speaker likewise makes Siri talks and telephone call audio louder and also clearer.Battery life is
the main gripe still, and also for all the improvements, Apple can still just provide 24-48 hours-- which for several just isn't good enough.The Fitbit Versa is the company's 2nd smartwatch and, along with a modification in style direction, it's most importantly offered at a much more affordable cost than the Apple Watch-- it can usually be chosen up for around$179.99. And do not fail to remember-Fitbit has actually revealed the Versa Lite Edition(a lot more on that listed below)which appear at $159. The Fitbit Versa comes in a host of various coatings and with a huge collection of bands to mix up the appearance. And also thanks to the runaway success of the smartwatch, there's a dynamic market of straps to select from.The Versa provides every one of the exact same health and fitness and sporting activities monitoring features you would certainly anticipate from the Fitbit ecosystem, though the large omission here is the absence of GPS. If you wish to track flights as well as runs, you'll need to take your smart device with you, and the watch can piggyback your phone's data.
For lots of this won't be a massive issue, but as major runners it's a degree of problem we like to avoid.Fitbit OS 2.0 brings a new-look UI that provides extra insights right into your daily information as well as quick reply support for Android phone users(iphone assistance coming with a later date). You can still download applications and a lot of watch deals with, pay from your wrist making use of Fitbit Pay, and take advantage of Fitbit Coach. At the same time the brand-new ladies's health tracking has actually also been presented for the first time, which is additionally readily available for the
Ionic, too.But it's battery life that really has the power to oblige purchasers, in addition to the appealing cost. You can obtain 5 days on a single cost, which means less problem on weekend breaks away, as well as simpler rest tracking.Fitbit had such fantastic success with the initial
Versa that it decided to make a less expensive variation that strips out some of the smartwatch features.The Lite is practically similar to the very first Versa in looks, conserve for now just a single physical switch on guard body, which indicates you'll be relying extra on the touchscreen display to browse the Versa Lite. In our experience, we really did not miss out on the second switch as well much.In regards to the function that are shed, you do not obtain a built-in music player or swim monitoring (it's still water resistant though). You do get an optical heart rate display as well as all the standard health and fitness tracking and sporting activities tracking attributes along with app-based attributes like females's health tracking. There's additionally no much longer Wi-Fi, with Fitbit presenting a new and easier way to update your smartwatch via step-by-step history downloads.Sports and physical fitness monitoring efficiency is not that different from what we discovered on the first Versa.
Sleep monitoring is still a standout feature, while the heart rate screen still often tends to fail for high intensity workouts. As a core smartwatch experience it's good, but it still lacks in comparison to its closest competitors.
Especially in the application division. If you love watch encounters though, you're well offered here.Thankfully you still obtain the very same four-day plus battery life, which can absolutely stretch to 5 days depending upon use. That's still better than what Apple and Google's Wear OS watches can work up right now.If you liked the Versa, but like to invest a little much less, the Versa Lite Version is suitable alternative. The swim tracking is a disappointing omission extra so than the songs gamer, but if you can live without monitoring your swimming pool sessions it's still a fantastic smartwatch to think about at an excellent price.The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the follower to the Gear S3 as well as is still among the most effective watches around. Compatible with Android as well as iphone, it now comes in both 42mm and 46mm models.Samsung footsteps in between smartwatch and also fitness tracker, also cramming in a heart price sensing unit alongside the GPS and its much-improved Samsung Wellness software program. There's likewise the alternative of LTE, if you long for an untethered link, with a standalone speaker for taking calls on the watch. It's now water resistant also, including swim monitoring abilities that get on the same level with the Watch Series 4. The Galaxy Watch works on Samsung's Tizen OS 4.0 and feels like a better choice to Google's Put on OS today. You still obtain that revolving bezel as well as among the ideal displays you can discover on a smartwatch. Nevertheless, the app option
still delays means behind the Apple Watch as well as Wear OS gadgets. That said, the Spotify application is excellent as well as offers offline playback.Battery life, we must claim, is also solid, getting you 2-3 days on the 42mm design as well as even more on the 46mm version.
If you're not a follower of Put on OS and also don't want an Apple Watch, this is the top choice to think about instead.Garmin has been producing best smartwatches for sporting activities fans for some time currently. Running, biking, swimming, golf-- Garmin has had us well and truly covered. In spite of the Leader name, the 645 Songs is much more in the mould of the Vivoactive 3 Music. It's obtained a comparable appearance as well as additionally brings the music this moment. This assists make the Garmin more of a smartwatch competitor to the Apple Watch, Samsung Equipment or Fitbit Ionic than before.Not only are you getting sufficient storage space for 500 songs, yet you're obtaining the offline playlist support for Spotify, Deezer as well as iHeartRadio. For moving your very own tracks, boot up Garmin Express on your computer system, select the Songs tab and select from your very own songs to port over.That exact same attractive stainless-steel style is here. The 240 x 240 pixel display at the heart of the body is by no indicates the brightest or most vivid you'll locate, yet crucially delivers strong presence in most exercise conditions, whether you're sweating it out indoors or outside. There is no touchscreen or touchpad right here, so you'll have to resort to pressing some buttons.As far as the number of sporting activities readily available to track: while it's even more of the same, there are some notable exclusions-- like golf tracking as well as open water swimming( swimming pool swimming is there though). Heart rate surveillance is good otherwise class-leading, and it will not maintain you lingering for a GPS signal. There's additionally all the tension tracking rewards from Garmin's fitness trackers. As multi-sport smartwatches go, this is the ideal in our eyes, and also improves all the great Garmin performed with its previous iterations.For apple iphone owners, Apple's Series 4 Watch is far and away the most effective choice offered. The Apple Watch has a big, bright display; smooth, comfy hardware; fast efficiency; extremely trustworthy battery life; and an entire host of physical fitness tracking as well as health-related attributes. The Apple Watch also has the toughest third-party Ifit Watch Reviewsecological community-- there are numerous straps, accessories, chargers, anchors, apps, and watchface complications you can utilize with the Apple Watch.The Apple Watch excels at offering fast access to any notifications that are available in to your phone, as well as it allows you respond to messages right from your wrist swiftly and also conveniently. You can use it as a speaker phone whenever you seem like replicating Prick Tracy, and also it's great for controlling Ifit Watch Reviews
songs having fun on your phone. It also has Apple Pay for purchasing things without a pocketbook or your general practitioner, heart as well as phone price tracking for workouts, and also the ability to warn you if it detects specific heart problems.THE APPLE VIEW COLLECTION 4 HAS Every One Of THE FUNCTIONS EXPECTED IN A SMARTWATCH Battery life can differ relying on just how much you make use of the Watch to track activities and also the amount of notices you obtain, yet in our testing, the Collection 4 Watch never ever failed to last at least an entire day in between costs, as well as frequently it might opt for two days. It's still something you need to charge instead routinely, but you don't have to bother with it passing away on your wrist halfway with the day if you've started with a full tank.Unlike basically every various other smartwatch on the marketplace, the Apple Watch still does not offer an always-on screen, however, so it doesn't in fact tell you the moment till you touch the display or lift your wrist. It's still exceptionally ironic that things the Apple Watch is the most awful at is being an Ifit Watch Reviews
actual time-keeping device.But other than that, there's extremely little to complain concerning with the Apple Watch Collection 4, and also it's conveniently the very best option for iPhone users.Of program, we're noting the Leader right here as a smartwatch, as well as Garmin has actually added good smarts. Health and fitness monitoring is wonderful as well as Garmin Attach is a suitable ecosystem for wellness data from steps as well as rest9 to exercises and also tension. You can obtain every little thing occurring on your smartwatch mirrored to your Leader, from telephone calls as well as signals, and also it will certainly suck in information on weather as well as the like. As well as battery life is seriously remarkable, with a number of weeks even for power users.To provide you the review, the watch has a 1.1-inch, 360 x 360 display, 20mm interchangeable bands as well as evaluates just 25g. The 40mm instance makes it smaller sized than the Galaxy Watch and also the Equipment Sporting activity-but it sacrifices the rotating bezel. In spite of the decrease in dimension, it is just one of one of the most comfy Samsung smartwatches we've put on and also still has a high-grade display. That bezel is missed out on in areas (especially
for picking applications), yet on the whole there's a whole lot to such as about this dinky watch.The Samsung Galaxy Watch Energetic still runs Tizen as well as presents OneUI from Samsung's phones. It doesn't significantly transform the software program experience, but it's zippy at swiping through displays as well as releasing apps.There's still GENERAL PRACTITIONER aboard and also the swim tracking actually impressed us in regards to precision. The same can be claimed about the heart rate screen, which even supplied in the high-intensity examinations. But it's the Active's fitness monitoring abilities that really impressed us with its ability to maintain us relocating purposeful however tiny ways.Samsung additionally consists of mindfulness features like anxiety tracking and guided breathing. It did additionally assure us high blood pressure surveillance, yet in our experience it's clearly not working as promised.Battery life is around a day as well as a fifty percent, but can stretch to two days with a power saving mode that still allows you receive notifications.If you can live with some of

detail from Taped, Jill Scott, 1975.
Video/Culture
Videotape, Video Festival, Exhibition
A travelling exhibition drawn from video works shown within the Australian Video Festival 1986.
Project co-ordinator: Brian Langer
Catalogue Design: Eddy Jokovich
This five-part program gathers a selection of videos compiled from the award winning entries (with the exception of one) from the Australian Video Festival 1986.
The title 'Video/Culture' indicates the emerging and evolving presence of video based production as a strategy of the electronic world we live in. Video is now entering its third decade and many would say that the first Australian Video Festival was long overdue, especially the tape makers themselves but it should be remembered that the development and organisation of such a festival is also an evolutionary process.
The thematic set-up of the 'Video/Culture' program, i.e. Electronic Imagery, Independent Music, Video Documents, Video Narrative, Sound and Image, seemed the best way to make selections as well as providing a starting point for further discussion of the video works themselves.
As well as the questions of how, when, where and why of the exhibition of independent video and video art which were raised during the Australian Video Festival, distribution and financing structures were also high-lighted as important issues for the independent sector.
Defining our roles especially in the broader use of video and increasing access to 'the means of production' are now very much on the agenda for the independent video maker and one of the main aims behind the production of 'Video/Culture'.
Brian Langer, Sydney, December 1986.
Post - Festival
The first Australian Video Festival attempted to fulfill the need for a central exhibiting area devoted to all aspects of video, both conceptually and practically. This is not to suggest that video was a mysterious and underground activity prior to this Festival, but if video is to nurture in Australia, festivals of this type must be highly encouraged to succeed.
The Festival contained curated international exhibitions from Japan, Europe, and USA, and a national competition categorised into six areas; Video Art, Video Graphics, Documentary/Informational, Drama/Narrative, Music Video, Student Video.
Categorisation of this type invited a number of problems as simple classifications lead to misconceptions of what style a particular program should be. For example, Music Video in the popular context implies commercially orientated programming with little or no regard of more contemporary or experimental styles. Theoretically, all video is documentary as it documents electrical information at a given time. Perhaps thematically grouped videos would be more appropriate for this type of festival.
There were numerous entries to the national competition that were initially shot on film and then transferred to video. Using the theoretical definition of 'documentary' as stated above, this technique is highly legitimate, but it does raise the question of what the similarities between film and video actually are. Quite often, videotaping with a camera is referred to as 'filming'. There seems to be little conceptual awareness of what does constitute a film or a video, and this type of confusion adds to the notion that video is the poor relation of film.
Videos centred around the use of the technology were more apparent than firm content based work. This suggests that video still has the novelty stigma attached to it with an abundance of post-production special effects that are certainly pleasant to view but other than their immediate aesthetic qualities are of little consequence.
Nearly one-third of all entries were student entries. The high standard of student work is reflected in the fact that ten of the works shown in this compilation have been completed by students from tertiary institutions. Although it is undesirable to have a separate student category, given that it is always inferred that because a work is produced in an educational institution, it is likely to be inferior, it should be remembered that these institutions usually have adequate video equipment that may not readily be available, both physically and financially, to the independent video producer.
For this reason, public television groups must receive adequate funding to remain as low cost production facilities. It is now seen as a necessity that more video resource centres be established in the capital and regional areas.
The excuse that geography is a limiting factor in the expansion of Australian video culture cannot be regarded as a plausible one, given that electronic transmission of visual information has been available for a number of years. Through sensible broadcasting legislation and the availability of video and media facilities to more independent producers and the more media disadvantaged groups within the community, together with the success of future activities such as the Australian Video Festival, video will grow out of infancy to a more acceptable and mature level.
Selecting twenty or so video programs from a pool of over 400 would be an incredibly difficult task, and for this reason, the programs on the compilation have been selected from the 'award’ winners and awards of 'merit’. Attempting to group programs thematically is also difficult where there are only thirty or so tapes to select from.
Although a true representation of any Festival is only hypothetical, this compilation should not be regarded as a direct indication of the work submitted - it is a compilation of work which has previously been categorically selected by various judging panels relating to certain areas of expertise.
As a suitable idea for this compilation, the work has been thematically grouped into five areas: Electronic Imagery, Independent Music, Video Documents, Video Narrative, Sound and Image.

Repatriated sailors returned to families in Auckland
Wednesday, 26 September 2018, 12:13 pm
Press Release: New Zealand Defence Force
Two Royal New Zealand Navy sailors repatriated from England have been returned to their families at an arrival ceremony at Devonport Naval Base.
The remains of Leading Engineering Mechanic William Goodwin and Engine Room Artificer Apprentice Philip Brian Short were returned on an Air New Zealand flight and transported to the Devonport base.
The fallen personnel were received with a traditional Maori welcome as their caskets were carried past a guard of honour and formally handed over to their relatives. A New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) chaplain led a private family service, before an NZDF haka was performed as the hearses departed the base.
Leading Engineering Mechanic Goodwin, 25, was posted with HMNZS Bellona when he died following a head knock while playing rugby in 1956. Engine Room Artificer Apprentice Short, 20, died in a motor vehicle accident in 1958. He had just completed three years training on HMS Caledonia and was awaiting return to New Zealand.
Their repatriation is part of project Te Auraki (The Return), under which the NZDF is bringing home personnel and dependants buried overseas after January 1955, following a change in government policy.
Between 1955 and 1971 NZDF personnel who died while serving abroad were buried in overseas cemeteries unless their families paid repatriation costs.
Te Auraki project manager Royal New Zealand Air Force Group Captain Carl Nixon said it was important to return the remains of the fallen personnel in a dignified manner according to NZDF’s contemporary cultural, religious and military protocols.
“Today we acknowledge the service of two sailors who died serving their country overseas and bring them home to their families, who have waited more than 60 years for this moment,” Group Captain Nixon said.
“This project is about making sure the inequalities and inconsistencies of the past are put right and everyone is treated the same, regardless of wealth, rank or cause of death.”
A disinterment team was deployed, comprising bioarchaeologists, forensic anthropologists and NZDF odontologists (dentists) assisting with the identification of the remains. The team was led by an NZDF doctor.
Families will reinter their relative at a place and time of their choosing in New Zealand.
The NZDF will not conduct military funerals because all of the deceased had military funerals before their interment.
Families will be offered NZDF support, such as chaplains, buglers and pall-bearers as required.
Remains will be reinterred at Service, public, or private cemeteries depending on family preferences and the Service person’s qualifying service. Memorials (headstones or plaques) will be provided and $1000 will be given towards a headstone for those who wish for their relative to be interred in a public/private cemetery.
This follows the repatriation of three NZDF personnel from Fiji and American Samoa in May, and 27 personnel and one dependant from Malaysia and Singapore in August.
Two NZDF personnel will be repatriated from the Republic of Korea in early October.

Ridge and Valley Conservancy
White Lake Preserve, Hardwick NJ - 394 Acres
Hiking and kayaking at White Lake
White Lake is a county park that is managed by Ridge and Valley Conservancy. The preserve is highly sensitive ecologically, but users can paddle and hike on it. The main parking and boat launch area for White Lake is located on Stillwater Rd./ Route 521 in Hardwick near the intersection with Spring Valley Rd. Across the street are White Lake WMA and the historic Vass Farmstead. Additional trailheads can be found north and south of the main parking area on Stillwater Rd., and at the intersection of Spring Valley and Primrose Rd.

kayaking at white Lake
RVC offers kayaks at White Lake for public use from Spring to Fall. Dates and times will be announced as the season approaches. Drop in during one of the times listed below and paddle around the pristine waters of White Lake. Observe turtles, fish, and the beautiful shoreline ecosystems.
Kayaks are offered free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis and may be unavailable in the event of inclement weather.
For more information contact: whitelakeinfo@gmail.com or call (973) 937-8748.
stewardship at white Lake
White Lake requires careful stewardship to maintain the sensitive limestone fen and shoreline communities while also providing recreation opportunities for visitors. RVC hopes to achieve this balance through careful monitoring and maintenance, and by encouraging low-impact, sustainable uses such as kayaking, educational nature programs, yoga and photography. We encourage you to stop by the preserve and witness the many changes taking place.
White Lake lies in the Great Limestone Valley in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The 69 acre spring-fed lake is surrounded by sensitive limestone fen, forest, and pondshore communities. These ecosystems are home to many rare grasses, sedges, and invertebrates that thrive in calciferous sediment, making this property a regional conservation priority. Evidence of past industrial activity, including an ice-house and marlworks, can be observed from the preserve’s wooded and meadow hiking trails. The Ridge and Valley Trail passes through White Lake preserve, and connects to the Paulinskill Valley Trail near the intersection of Spring Valley Rd. and Primrose Rd. The crystal-clear lake is popular among local photographers, kayakers and anglers.
White Lake Preserve is owned by Warren County. RVC originally preserved this property and the adjoining White Lake WMA in conjunction with the NJDEP, Warren County, NJ Fish and Wildlife, Green Acres, and Hardwick Township in 1997. Recently, The Nature Conservancy managed stewardship at White Lake under supervision of the County until 2015, when RVC took over this responsibility.
Ridge and Valley Conservancy, PO Box 146, 16 Main Street, Blairstown, NJ 07825(908) 362 7989info@ridgeandvalleyconservancy.org
Ridge and Valley Conservancy is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission. The Land Trust Accreditation Commission recognizes organizations that meet rigorous quality standards and strive for continuous improvement.

Im afraid Im drawn back to the question of the academy and it being gifted over to Leeds by the CB, albeit in its more junior elements.
With Sale no doubt having some level of access and a "pick N mix" opportunity of the better players, those academy players and the ones not fortunate to be selected will be lost to those more junior clubs within the county which initially developed them, to the detriment of all, including I have to admit Leeds themselves, even though I disagree with them having access in the first place.
Now that the CB has in place individuals who oversaw the initial transfer of the academy, at the highest level, i have some serious concerns over the continued player sourcing and development within the county. All of course leading to a weaker product to market and compete against M62 rugby. Football is only really played in two cities, yet both have thriving and strong junior level club representations within the county and game generally. (Leeds United could for example only dream of the fan attendance of either of the two Sheffield sides)

Why let facts get in the way of a story?
Leeds Utd would certainly not dream of dropping their fan attendance to the level of either Sheffield side.
Last seasons statistics
Leeds Utd. Capacity 37,890. Average League Attendance 34,035
Sheffield Utd. Capacity 32,609. Average League Attendance 26,175
Sheffield Wed. Capacity 39,732. Average League Attendance 24,429

Several people have referred to there being no relegation next season but I haven't seen this confirmed anywhere. I thought it was just a proposal, along with a 13-team Premiership and a promotion play-off between the two divisions.
You're correct Albert, there's been no confirmation about whether the Prem may expand next summer, nor about any knock-on change to promotion/relegation between Prem & Ch'ship, or between Ch'ship & Nat 1
Today's Rugby Paper (Jeff Probyn quoting Damian Hopley of the RPA) says there'll be a decision made about the make-up of the 2020/21 Premiership, possibly including promotion/relegation arrangements, at the RFU Council meeting on Sept 13th. Quite a long way off, but at least clubs at top 2 levels would know where they stand before this season kicks off...
Yes but when will they decide if Leeds are able to play at all this season.

Yes if a team pulls out after that the Championship goes ahead with 11 teams.
Before then Richmond get promoted to fill the gap.
But have the RFU actually put anything in place or are they simply putting the telescope to their right eye so as not to see the signals.
I am sure Nelson would have supported North Walsham had he not gone to sea and had they existed in the 18th Century.

London Irish, Wasps, Newcastle and Exeter also currently unavailable. It's just because Sport Network insist on a new front page news story being posted every two weeks, and during the summer months there's nothing to write about.
True. To a point.
Several clubs' SN sites never seem to be taken down even if they don't update for months on end ( and it's a bone of contention on the SN 'user's' internal forum, which sadly SN just ignore. Like most complaints thereon). This applies to both rugby and footy sites.
Ex are currently down. Wasps have been down four or five times this season (very irregular updating).
Quins, Sale, Wasps and Glaws seem to be giving up on it even though there are quite a few still hanging on on the Wasps site.
It's all very unsatisfactory, but nothing sinister - just laziness.
It doesn't take much to put up a few words on the News page once a fortnight.
And lo, and behold - the Wasps site has gone down again. Couldn't make it up.
Sorry, back to Leeds ;)
And again! Perhaps it's that massive unsustainable debt?

Looking at the RFU Regulations it is interesting to note:-
In clause 5.3.5 in RFU Regulation 5 there is (I believe) some text missing. The clause reads "Without prejudice to ....................... provided that ordinarily if the Insolvency Event occurs prior to the date at which the fixtures for the Level at which the Club plays, the points deduction shall apply to the previous season."
The text that appears to be missing is after "plays" and should perhaps be "are announced" or similar wording. If the missing wording was “are agreed” that could change things but perhaps a CVA trumps everything 😉
"Rugby is not just a sport, It’s a way of life"
By putting the telescope to their right eye, the RFU did not see an insolvency act until the CVA.
As that was agreed with 100% voting in favour and within 6 weeks, there is no need for a points deduction.
Mind you we have not seen any announcements of players signing.
They can have thee loan players and 10 dual registered EAP.
But they need at least 9 players registered to the club.
Currently they appear to be nine short of that.

The problem is that there was no insolvency act until the CVA. The RFU are looking again at the wording but insolvency is only triggered by an act, it’s not based on rumour or story. I believe they will still be deducted points as that is the result of any insolvency act but if the RFU Council change the Premiership/Championship numbest at
the end of the 19/20 season it could be meaningless.
But the regulation speaks of an insolvency event - and the definition specifically includes non-payment or late payment of players. While I have not proof it feels like YC have been granted more slack as they are an old senior club and therefore one of us.
Anyway they need to recruit a minimum of 9 players and a doctor - and then borrow the rest.
Tick.
Quote WPL
But non or late payment did not happen, all contracts were honoured for last season, they could not afford the contracted payments for this coming season. As what you have stated in terms of past tense and I suspect in a legal world there is the difference.
You may be right.
They certainly got to the point where they could not guarantee payments would be made in April which led to a threat of players withdrawing their labour.

Montana third US state to authorize assisted suicides
AP , HELENA, Montana
The Montana Supreme Court said on Thursday that nothing in state law prevents patients from seeking physician-assisted suicide, making Montana the third US state that will allow the procedure.
Patients and doctors had been waiting for the state’s high court to step in after a lower court decided a year ago that constitutional rights to privacy and dignity protect the right to die.
The Montana Supreme Court opinion will now give doctors in the state the freedom to prescribe the necessary drugs to mentally competent, terminally ill patients without fear of being prosecuted, advocates said.
Steve Johnson, a 72-year-old Helena cancer patient, welcomed the decision, saying he has talked with his doctor about ending his life.
“I am very concerned about the intense pain and loss of dignity,” the lifelong rancher and veterinarian said at a press conference at the Capitol. “I’ve accepted my death. I approach the end of my life with a clear mind.”
The Supreme Court didn’t go as far as District Judge Dorothy McCarter of Helena did in December 2008, when she extended constitutional protections to the procedure.
The Supreme Court decided not to determine whether the Montana Constitution guarantees the right. Instead, it said nothing in state law or the court’s precedent indicated it was against public policy — and pointed to laws giving patients rights to make crucial decisions as a justification for legalizing the assistance.
Oregon and Washington state allow assisted suicides for terminally ill patients, with Oregon adopting the US’ first “death with dignity” law in 1997. Tucker said Montana doctors should now feel comfortable adopting procedures that doctors in the other two states use.
The Supreme Court ruled that assisted suicide is an acceptable defense to any homicide charges against the doctor.
“In physician aid in dying, the patient, not the physician, commits the final death-causing act by self-administering a lethal dose of medicine,” Justice William Leaphart wrote for the court.

"Many of the artists have left the country"
by Gergely Nagy
Today, the European parliament has voted to trigger the EU's most serious disciplinary procedure against Hungary, saying the country’s government poses a “systematic threat” to democracy and the rule of law. Gergely Nagy writes about the impact of the political right on culture in Hungary.
According to a survey by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) in 2017, people gave the same answers to certain question as they did ten or twelve years ago. Could you please name an important Hungarian writer? Imre Kertész. A musician? Zoltán Kocsis. A theatre director? Róbert Alföldi. Culture as it is preserved in the libraries and museums has gone untouched; in other words, the cultural canon has remained the same, even if the government would like to hear otherwise. For example, it has spent millions on new institutions like the Hungarian Academy of Arts (MMA), which is not a serious academy like the aforementioned MTA, and has nothing to do with the arts.
Rather, it’s an organisation of older artists, loyal fans of Orbán, who are awarded a monthly honorarium and given seats on boards here and there. The MMA’s role is to rewrite and strengthen the canon, and it has more money today than the National Cultural Fund, which supports individual artists and independent groups and has played a huge role in shaping the cultural production of the last twenty years. But the elderly Orbán fan base of the MMA has not been successful: money and power are not enough when you don’t have a clue what to do with it.
There is also a longer and more complicated answer to this question, because the eight years of right-wing, nationalist, and isolationist government has fundamentally changed the cultural environment. The critical wing of culture is now completely marginalised and the artists in this scene struggle. Many of them have left the country: the current Hungarian art community in Berlin is as big as it was in the 1920s. The media landscape has also dramatically shifted, as the public-service media (which is comprised entirely of governmental propaganda) says nothing about the living, existing culture. Some artists were officially declared “threats to national security” and the subculture of the extreme-right found its way into the mainstream. When the government is the biggest peddler of fear and hatred, why should lunatic ideologists feel discouraged?
The big institutions are controlled through the appointment of loyal or neutral directors and Fidesz, the ruling party, is not stupid at all; they know that if they control the channels of funding to ensure it only lands in certain places, then the rest will happen automatically. When you can’t find public funding and publicity for your work, and you boycott the state institutions out of disgust, then you will eventually be silenced. Soft censorship is working. But this is not the entire picture. Budapest is still standing. Small exhibition and artist-run spaces, theatres, commercial galleries, and organisations are maintaining a critical culture and keeping the city’s creative spirit alive. The art community is constantly producing work and building coalitions. Our city is at least temporarily a relatively free zone, but how long can cultural workers follow a strategy of self-exploitation? When will these people appear on the radar of the authorities, and when will the government say, “That’s all folks”?

Opening // Madeline Bohrer: Blue Cows, Black Clouds
Spoonbill Studio 99 Montrose Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11206 United States (map)
Madeline Bohrer: Blue Cows, Black Clouds
September 12 - October 20, 2018
Opening reception: September 12, 6:00-9:00 PM
Spoonbill Studio is pleased to present Blue Cows, Black Clouds, solo exhibition with new works by Madeline Bohrer.
Upon first glance, Bohrer’s paintings seem to inhabit a bucolic, arcadian-esque place: fields neatly sprawl out and trees stretch towards the cloud specked sky, cows graze in lush pastures, a chateau welcomes the viewer. In one pastoral work, a church rests on a hill with wispy clouds floating by, quiet and serene. In another, a mother and daughter read in a meadow sheltered by trees, placid and innocent. The paintings, while rooted in realism, are comprised of painterly, abstracted studies of line and color--with nods to Hockney and Matisse--that converge to create the visual symbols traditionally found in idyllic landscape paintings encountered throughout history. However, the world Bohrer has created is a surreal, technicolor inversion of such scenes that are paradisiacal in their beauty and setting, though feel as if one has tumbled down the rabbit hole.
In the paintings, the rules of reality have fallen to the wayside. Colors gleefully play musical chairs, with the black spots of the cows and the blues and whites of the sky swapping places, and grass growing in an array of pinks, reds and greens, leaving inky black clouds to rest in blank white skies while blue cows stand about in polychromatic pastures. In “Chateau”, the facade is comprised of flat sections of bright colors that juxtapose one another to form the structure of the building, while strategically placed lines of analogous color gives a sense of light and shadow. A pink silhouette of a woman in Victorian dress stands out next to a dynamic palm tree, with its composition and color reminiscent of Hockney’s take on the motif. The divergence of treatment from the woman to the tree is striking. The woman is stencil-like and flat, more so a ghost-like imprint upon the surface while the palm tree is detailed and sharp, it’s existence in the scene solidified.
Bohrer’s women can be found in other paintings as well, and they are treated in a similar manner. In a pastoral scene, the blue silhouette of a mailgirl marches across a field under a black sky, with blue cows grazing beyond. Letter in hand, her person and clothing is slightly more detailed, but she still remains flat and frozen like her counterpart outside of the chateau. Another painting depicts a mother and daughter, painted in vibrant hues of pink and orange, sweetly posed together in a sea of blue grass and trees. The mother gestures to a book laid out before them while her daughter leans into her.
The depictions of the women in these paintings are drawn from antique embroidery, where women are reduced to mere symbols of a supposed ideal, stitched into their proper places and playing out their assigned roles. The Victorian hostess stationed outside of the chateau is decorative display, a formal element whose purpose is filling patriarchal expectations of an Arcadia. The sweetly dressed mailgirl marches with contrived determination, though her task is menial and her image idyllically innocent. Though it may seem as if the works are representative of an antiquated, idealized place where women fulfill traditional roles, Bohrer reclaims the landscape through formal elements. Reflective of our own reality, the artist does not fully free her women from their fates, but takes authorship over what she can, leaving us to ponder the implications of this world and its mirroring of our own.
Bohrer (b. 1992) has a BFA from Boston University and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Bohrer is a painter whose work explores the melding of color, patterns, and humor, using femininity as a lens. Her work was recently included in a group show at the Berkshire Museum, and she spent the summer completing a residency at Centre Pompadour in France.

Label: Chadula
Catalog ID: 2006CF
Packaging: CDR in a cardboard sleeve with Dr. Chad's unique packaging
• Show Bio for Eugene Chadbourne
"A seemingly endless -- and endlessly eclectic -- series of releases made the innovative guitarist Eugene Chadbourne one of the underground community's most well-known and well-regarded eccentrics. Born January 4, 1954 in Mount Vernon, NY, Chadbourne was raised in Boulder, CO, by his mother, a refugee of the Nazi death camps. At the age of 11, the Beatles inspired him to learn guitar; later exposure to Jimi Hendrix prompted him to begin experimenting with distortion pedals and fuzzboxes. Ultimately, however, he became dissatisfied with the conventions of rock and pop, and traded in his electric guitar for an acoustic one, on which he began to learn to play bottleneck blues.
Perhaps Chadbourne's most significant formative discovery was jazz; initially drawn to John Coltrane and Roland Kirk, he later became an acolyte of the avant excursions of Derek Bailey and Anthony Braxton. Despite the huge influence music exerted over his life, however, Chadbourne first studied to become a journalist, but his career was derailed when he fled to Canada rather than fight in Vietnam; only President Jimmy Carter's declaration of amnesty for conscientious objectors allowed the vociferously left-wing Chadbourne to return to the U.S. in 1976, at which time he plunged headlong into the New York downtown music scene. After releasing his 1976 debut, Solo Acoustic Guitar, he began collaborating on purely improvisational music with the visionary saxophonist John Zorn and the acclaimed guitarist Henry Kaiser.
Quickly, Chadbourne carved out a singular style, comprised of equal parts protest music, free improvisation, and avant-garde jazz, topped off with his absurd, squeaky vocals. A complete list of Chadbourne's countless subsequent collaborations and genre workouts is far too lengthy and detailed to exhaustively document, although in the early '80s he garnered some of his first significant attention as the frontman of Shockabilly, a demented rockabilly revisionist outfit which also featured the well-known producer Kramer. Following the group's breakup, Chadbourne turned to his own idiosyncratic brand of country and folk, accurately dubbed LSD C&W on a 1987 release, the same year he joined the members of Camper Van Beethoven for a one-off covers project. In addition, he recorded with artists ranging from Fred Frith and Elliott Sharp to Evan Johns and Jimmy Carl Black, the original drummer in the Mothers of Invention; in between, he continued exploring unique styles inspired by music from the four corners of the globe, all the while issuing a seemingly innumerable string of records, most of them on his own Parachute label."

Sara Gilbert says she still supports 'Roseanne' cancellation
June 4, 2018 — 4:40pm
LOS ANGELES — Sara Gilbert says she's saddened about how "Roseanne" ended, but still supports ABC's decision to cancel the show over Roseanne Barr's racist tweet.
Gilbert said Monday while hosting the CBS daytime show "The Talk" that "Roseanne" ''has always been about diversity, love and inclusion."
The comments expanded on Gilbert's statement last week about the show's cancellation.
She also said a lot of people have been hurt as a result of Roseanne Barr's tweet, which likened former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and "Planet of the Apes."
Gilbert, an executive producer on the rebooted series, says it's sad to see how the show ended.
Kantar Media says "Roseanne" earned an estimated $45 million in advertising revenue for ABC through its recent nine episode run.

Should minimum calorie pricing be considered?
By Ben Thomas

PhD Student in the British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science, interested in all things science.
AlcoholismCaloriesMinimum Pricing
Following the announcement on Wednesday 15 November that the UK Supreme Court is backing the plans for the Scottish government to introduce minimum unit pricing on alcohol, should similar measures be considered for calorie consumption?
The Scottish government had approved legislation five years ago to introduce a 50p-per-unit minimum on alcohol, but it had been held up by a legal challenge by the Scotch Whiskey Association, initially made to the Court of Session.However, with the court’s approval, the measures would see an introduction of minimum prices on a 750 mL of Vodka set at £13.13, an 11.5 per cent bottle of wine at £4.32, and a litre of five per cent cider at £2.50. Researchers at the University of Sheffield estimate this would reduce hospital admissions by 2000, and save 120 lives per year.
The measures have, however, garnered both support and criticism: on the one hand, the move is hoped to save lives; however, others argue that addicts will still find a way to consume alcohol, and less afluent alcoholics may turn to crime to do so. There is also an argument that the measures will penalise responsible drinkers unfairly, while doing nothing to deter those with more money in the bank.
But as much of a strain as alcoholism places on society, there is another great health risk befalling the UK: obesity, and obesity-related complications. Nearly two-thirds of adults in the UK are classified as overweight or obese, and that number is expected to increase.
The health risks of obesity have been well described: it can lead to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, strokes, certain cancers, and more, as well as exacerbating other conditions. But alongside the strain it puts on individual health is the economic cost: George Osborne in 2016 reported that obesity costs the British Economy £27 billion a year. More money is currently spent on treating diabetes and obesity related conditions than on the police and fire services combined.
Obesity is on the rise, and measures need to be put in place to tackle it. In much the same way that minimum alcohol pricing was passed to combat the problem of alcoholism and its related cost, minimum calorie pricing should also then be considered to do the same with obesity.
It is difficult, almost hypocritical even, to accept the arguments made by the Scottish Government in justifying the legislation for minimum unit alcohol pricing, but to not accept those same arguments when applied to minimum calorie pricing (available on their website).
These arguments suggest that the move would impact most on harmful consumers, result in a fall in hospital admissions and obesity related deaths, and significantly reduce the social and economic cost of obesity, as well as other points.

October 19, 2018 / Jericho Cerrona
Cast: Anders Danielsen Lie, Jonas Strand Gravli, Jon Øigarden, Isak Bakli Aglen, Maria Bock, Thorbjørn Harr, Seda Witt, Ola G. Furuseth, Hilde Olausson
Director: Paul Greengrass
If there was ever any doubt, the 2011 Norway attacks by Anders Behring Breivik that left 77 people dead was an unspeakable atrocity. The killer, a stone-cold sociopath (played by Anders Danielsen Lie) stockpiled weapons, disguised himself as a police officer, and gained access to an island where a Workers’ Youth League summer camp was being held. The subsequent aftermath, where Breivik was treated humanely by the Norwegian government while victims mourned the loss of loved ones, is the real aim of director Paul Greengrass’s retelling. Before we get there, however, there’s 40 minutes of goosed-up exploitation cinema to wade through. If United 93 was Greengrass’s visceral attempt at pummeling audiences into submission concerning an American tragedy, then 22 July cheaply uses a real-life Norwegian catastrophe as a soapbox for simplistic moralizing.
During the film’s opening stretch, the film cuts between Breivik loading bombs and weaponry into an unmarked van and various high school students innocently enjoying themselves at summer camp. Using his typical hand-held shooting style, Greengrass ratchets up the tension by using standard movie suspense tactics, such as an ominous score and scenes where characters tearfully deliver speeches moments before death. All the while, Breivik prowls through the forest in wide shots reminiscent of a Peter Berg action thriller as he indiscriminately mows down victims fleeing for their lives.
One particular student comes into focus, Viljar (Jonas Strand Gravli), who delivers a speech about what he would do if he was Prime Minister shortly before the massacre. Meanwhile, the actual PM, Jens Stoltenberg (Ola G. Furuseth) is evacuated after a bomb planted by Breivik detonates outside a government building in Oslo. The rest of the film pivots into a blunt drama juxtaposing Viljar and Breivik; with the former learning how to walk again due to his gunshot injuries, while the later espouses his bigoted, though ideologically muddled, views.
During the third act, July 22 transforms into a courtroom procedural where family members of the deceased are forced to endure Breivik’s prepared statements while Vilijar undergoes rehab, laughably edited in montage like something out of the Rocky franchise. Greengrass may want his film to open up a dialogue about how and why someone like Breivik exists, but July 22 ends up coming across morally facile. The characters here feel like chess pieces for a political warning rather than human beings who actually suffered through this tragedy. The catharsis, therefore, is cheap. What is the point, after all, of dramatizing such a heinous event? There is little utility, whether artistic or political, in Greengrass’s approach here; rendering his film as yet another dramatic thriller trivializing actual human suffering.

Lungu Lungu: Ghanaian Dubstep?!?!
By Benjamin Lebrave
Ghana-based Benjamin Lebrave speaks fluent French and English, and can schmooze in Spanish and Portuguese. He’ll report on new African music every other week. This week, it’s Ghanaian duo Steloo and Yaw P.
Accra has over 30 radio stations. That's a lot, and compared to other cities I've lived in, there's a lot of music actually worth hearing. I've heard kuduro on the radio here, Congolese music, even 1980s electrofunk! And of course tons and tons of azonto, afrobeats and hiplife. With that said, when it comes to playing contemporary Ghanaian artists making music that is not mainstream, suddenly there is a significant void.
There are pockets however, as certain radio stations and certain radio personalities keep an open window for new sounds and new ideas. Such is the case with Eddy Blay, a Ghanaian music industry veteran, who now has a primetime show on Accra's X FM. In the mid-2000s Eddy had a show on Vibe FM, where he occasionally played house music. This is where Steloo first heard house: "This guy had some crazy stuff," he recalls of Eddy Blay. "The way he was jamming to the music really got me going." This was a turning point for Steloo: "Everyday the virus grew stronger in me, then I became a full addict."
Meanwhile, Yaw P was rapping with a partner who made beats, but after the producer left, Yaw started creating music himself and took an interest in forging his own sound. "We couldn't do what we are doing if we didn't have our own studio. The engineers wouldn't have the time to discuss what we are trying to do, because they have a bunch of other people coming through." So Yaw P was fortunate enough to be able to experiment with his sound. When he met the house-lover Steloo, the duo gelled and came up with their unique sound, a hip-hop backbone with strong electronic music elements.
When Yaw P and Steloo contacted me, they were pushing "Oi Mate," an intense techno anthem which I assumed to be coming from London:
I was wrong. The duo is local and I met them shortly after. We bonded over our eclectic electronic taste, and since then they have been sending me track after track of surprising, creative electronic music. But this last track sped things up quite a bit: "N'agba" is dubstep. Mixed, of course, with some dope acoustic drumming. The result is something out of a rave—only filled with Ga fishermen.
Download: Steloo & Yaw P, "N'agba (Problems)"
"N'agba" means problem in Ga. Yaw P was already working on a dubstep beat when Steloo picked it as the backdrop for his concept. In the song Steloo asks defiantly: What's your problem? Aren't you happy? Should I get you a bottle of Fanta for you to be happy? He also tells me "the beat itself has that vibe of, 'Who really wants to cause a problem? Who do you have a problem with over here?' It has some attitude in it."
Although here in Ghana there isn't that much space yet for their sound, the duo have been encouraged by a number of key players: Eddie Blay still supports Steloo, and helped him land a radio show on X FM. DJ Vision, an old friend of Steloo's now at Y FM, is also a big backer of house music in Ghana, and he has helped push Steloo and Yaw P's music. Accra[dot]Alt have also pushed the duo, offering them a spot for the second time at their recent (amazing) Ind!e Fuse event in Accra. It's exciting to see such different people coming together to promote an innovative sound, and it was equally exciting for me to sit down with Yaw P and Steloo to witness how focused and committed they are.
Since they have covered most potential outlets in Ghana, the two spend lots of time pushing their music online, posting and connecting with the world via Facebook or Twitter. Among other things, this DIY strategy got their music to be played on Big Brother Africa, arguably the most influential pan-African TV show. It is also how I connected with them!
Today, the two remain hungry for new musical discoveries, Steloo actively researches music as he puts together his weekly show on X FM, while Yaw P is relentless in the studio, dishing out beat after beat: together they keep expanding, and judging by the increasing quality of their music, we are in for many more rounds of musical treats.

FA Cup & Challenge Cup Draws - Reaction
The draw for the FA Competitions has been made at FA HQ today:
Tunbridge Wells will visit fellow SCEFL outfit Holmesdale in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round on Saturday, August 16 (KO 3pm). The prize for the winner will be an away match with either our near neighbours Sevenoaks Town or East Preston (Sussex County League) in the Preliminary round on Saturday, August 30. Peacehaven & Telscombe (Ryman Premier League) await the side to emerge victorious from the Preliminary Round tie.
"More to Come" - Chris Seenan Interview
Tunbridge Wells first team manager Martin Larkin remains tight-lipped about who his squad includes for this coming season – at least for the next few days. One piece of news that many at Culverden will be pleased to hear is that Chris Seenan remains, waiting to show the club that there’s more to come from him. That’s pretty encouraging when you consider he hit 10 goals in 17 games for the club last year.
We caught up with Seenan to discuss the off-season so far; his expectations for the new season; and English World Cup failure through Scottish eyes…
Preparing The Battle Plan
Martin Larkin and his Tunbridge Wells side came into last season with some high standards set from the preceding year. During the course of Season 2013/14, the board, headed by new chairman Clive Maynard, set about preparing Culverden to host Ryman League football should the team follow up on the silverware and Wembley appearance of 2012/13 with a league win. Promotion wasn’t forthcoming, however, and ultimately The Wells had to be content with a fourth place finish in the Southern Counties (East) Football League.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
written by Eli June 26, 2013
“Bono met his wife in high school,” Park says.
“So did Jerry Lee Lewis,” Eleanor answers.
“I’m not kidding,” he says.
“You should be,” she says, “we’re sixteen.”
“What about Romeo and Juliet?”
“Shallow, confused, then dead.”
”I love you,” Park says.
“Wherefore art thou,” Eleanor answers.
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.
I think the thing I hate most in books is when the author writes the book so that you just love it so much, and it has so much potential, and then they go and cut off the ending. It could’ve and would’ve been so good! had they taken a little more time for the ending.
YA romance contemporary novels and just romance in general in movies is pretty predictable. It’s annoying and unrealistic, but it just makes it so that when the romance plays out well, it’s even better.
That’s what I liked about Eleanor and Park.
Rainbow Rowell, (awesome name, by the way), plotted this book so that it was beautiful, brave and real. Besides being really funny, it really put in the hardships of a relationship in real life without making it so dramatic and realistic that it just annoys and depresses you.
I loved so many of the characters! I can totally relate to Park as another Korean-American. I just loved Eleanor’s sense of humor and how she felt like a friend to me, someone who I trusted and wanted so badly to stick up for. I hated Eleanor’s evil step-dad, Richie and everything he put her through.
Part of what I didn’t like about E&P was that it took me a while to figure out Eleanor’s family relations. There was the step-dad, the divorce-dad, the three (or four?) younger siblings and the confusing, conflicting natures of them all.
The characters in this book were well-formed and funny. This is probably one of my favorite contemporary romance novels. Loved this book, and I’ll be interested to see if Rainbow Rowell comes out with a sequel and fixes some of the things that bothered me in this book. 4.5 stars

AGHAST!
Thrash Hits » AGHAST!
AGHAST! are a UK based band from London. They have a reputation for putting on an incendiary and charismatic live show. They are currently working their way up through the UK's underground, carving out a niche for themselves since 2008.
Their name is spelt in capitals and with an exclamation mark. This came from a promoter in Leeds who initially booked them for one show, which became three nights, one after the other. By the end he billed them as "and AGHAST! again" and it stuck. Read more on Last.fm

EP: AGHAST! – Live Dangerously
Live Dangerously
by Andy Parker
I first got to witness London-based death/thrash/extreme metal crew AGHAST! in a dodgy Brighton pub on my birthday in 2009 and was stunned by two things. Firstly, by lead guitarist Christiaan Verheij Van-Wijk’s mental spandex trousers, which were then replaced by an even crazier pair when the band went on stage. And secondly, by how blisteringly-fast and gripping their blinding riffs were.

WIN! A copy of The Armed’s incredible Spreading Joy EP on sexy 7″ vinyl
We like The Armed. We like them a lot. We like how they give away free, lossless digital versions of all their music just because they want to. We love that they do this so their music can be unrestrained by anything even slightly approaching commercial concerns. We love that they sound like the angriest bits of The Dillinger Escape Plan roaring bitter fury at a tornado. We like The Armed so much that we bought extra copies of the sexy 7-inch vinyl version of their latest EP, Spreading Joy, for the express purpose of giving them away to YOU.

Existing Home Sales Bounce Back in August

NEW YORK (CNN)- Existing home sales bounced back in August after plunging in the previous month.
Sales of previously-owned homes rose 7.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.13 million units last month, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday. That's up from up from 3.84 million in July.
Analysts had expected sales to edge up to an annual rate of 4.10 million units, according to consensus estimates from Briefing.com.
The gain in August was a welcome change, following on the heels of a dismal report in the previous month, which showed that home sales sank 27 percent to the lowest level in 15 years in July.
But a single upbeat reading doesn't mean home sales have recovered, said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist.
"Despite very attractive affordability conditions, a housing market recovery will likely be slow and gradual because of lingering economic uncertainty," said Yun.
After steadily rising in previous months, the inventory of homes on the market edged down 0.6 percent in August to 3.98 million units. But that's enough supply to last 11.6 months, NAR said.
The decline in inventory helped to boost home prices. The median price of homes sold in August was $178,600, up 0.8 percent from a year ago, the report showed. About a third of homes sold during the month were in foreclosure.
"Home values have shown stabilizing trends over the past year, even as the economy shed millions of jobs, because of the home buyer tax credit stimulus," said Yun. "Now that the economy is adding some jobs, the housing market needs to steadily improve and eventually stand on its own."

The area around present-day Yamato city has been inhabited for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found stone tools from the Japanese Paleolithic period and ceramic shards from the Jomon period at numerous locations in the area. It is mentioned in the Engishiki records from the Heian period. By the Kamakura period, this area part of the Shibuya shōen. It came under control of the Ashikaga clan in the early Muromachi period and was later part of the territories of the Late Hōjō clan from Odawara. With the start of the Edo period, the area was part of the tenryō territory in Sagami Province controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate, but administered through various hatamoto . Under the rule of the 5th Shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, one of these hatamoto, Sakamoto Shigeharu (1630-1693) by virtue of his position as Ōmetsuke and Jisha-bugyō, exceeded 10,000 koku in income, and thus became daimyo of the newly proclaimed Fukami Domain in October 1682. However, his revenues decreased below 10,000 koku in May 1687 and the domain was suppressed.
During the cadastal reforms after the Meiji Restoration, the area of present-day Yamato became part of Kōza District, Kanagawa Prefecture. On April 1, 1889, it was administratively divided into Shibuya Village and Tsurumi Village, which later changed its name on September 25, 1891 to Yamato Village. The area was connected by rail in 1926 via the Sagami Railway and in 1929 by the Odakyu Electric Railway, leading to an increase in population. The Imperial Japanese Navy Sagamino Air Base was established in 1940. Yamato Village became Yamato Town in 1943, and Shibuya Village became Shibuya Town in 1944. However, Shibuya was dissolved in 1955, with a portion merging with nearby Fujisawa, and the remaining portion reverting to village status. That portion was merged with Yamato in 1957, which became Yamato City in 1959. In April 2000, Yamato exceeded 200,000 in population and was proclaimed a special city with increased autonomy from the central government.

Mandarin Oriental Barcelona Announces New Luxurious Suites
Accommodation, News
Completing five successful years as one of the best hotels in the city, Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona is pleased to announce the addition of 17 spacious and luxurious suites and five additional rooms to its inventory, bringing the total room count to 120.
Located in the modernist building adjacent to the hotel on the city’s most luxurious boulevard Passeig de Gràcia, the rooms are all easily accessible via the main building. Each of the new rooms and suites range from 44 to 124 square metres, and all have been exquisitely designed with an emphasis on style and space.
To be ready for reservation from April 2014, guests can benefit from the Suite Temptations package available for three nights until July with a range of fantastic benefits, including a spa credit, daily buffet breakfast and an extra complimentary night.
The award-winning Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, who was responsible for the distinctive interior design of Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona, has been re-commissioned to create the décor for the new rooms, following the same avant-garde and cosmopolitan style that characterises the hotel.
The luxurious suites enjoy the addition of balconies overlooking Passeig de Gràcia and the famous modernist landmark building from Gaudi, Casa Batlló, or the hotel’s peaceful Mimosa garden. Fusing contemporary design with elements of the Group’s oriental heritage, these over-sized suites offer a splendid blend of comfort, style and luxury, providing a luxurious environment for entertaining, leisure or business with private butler service available to cater to all guest needs.

'Time to make the wealthy pay' - speech by Gregor Kerr at Anti Capitalist Bloc protest
Date: Thu, 2010-05-27 09:27
We are here tonight outside Anglo Irish Bank to deliver a strong and clear message to the cabal of bankers, speculators and developers and their political friends who have brought this country to the brink of economic ruin. That message as I said is very simple and very straightforward – ‘They didn’t share the wealth, We aren’t going to share the pain. Make the wealthy pay’.
Mainstream political and economic analysis of the current crisis speak of it as if it was some sort of natural phenomenon – as if this crisis had emerged from nowhere and was unpredictable. That mainstream analysis also puts forward a twin strategy for dealing with the crisis -
1. cut public spending – in other words cut spending on social services such as health, education and social welfare and
2. slash the incomes of ordinary workers. Be those workers in the public or private sectors, the intention is to drive down wages as low as they can possibly get away with.
Partly this is a response to the financial crisis but partly it is also a strategy of business and their friends in government to use the cover of the crisis to frighten workers into accepting wage cuts, attacks on their conditions, wholesale changes to their pensions and a whole raft of changes that they couldn’t hope to get away with otherwise.
But the message we are delivering tonight is that we do not accept their TINA strategy, we do not accept their political analysis that There Is No Alternative . We do not accept that Brian Lenihan can say that to find €23 billion to bail out the gangsters who ran this place behind me is not a problem but that we cannot afford to fund beds in hospitals, that we need to cut social welfare and that we cannot afford the many services that people in working class communities depend on.
Many references have been made to the spirit of Greece and to the spirit of fighting back evident among the Greek working class, their unwillingness to roll over and ‘share the pain’. There’s a very fundamental lesson that everyone should be taking from what’s happening in Greece.. That lesson is that what is happening in Greece is that the international markets (i.e. financial speculators) have gone after the Greek economy because they believe they can make a short-term financial killing on it. ‘The markets’ are demanding a slashing of public spending and a dismantling of workers’ rights and conditions. And because economic orthodoxy across Europe has accepted that ‘the markets’ cannot be challenged, these profiteers (described as a ‘wolf pack’ by the Swedish finance minister) are being appeased by government policies in every EU country.
It’s in this context that the Irish government, rather than going after the assets of the wealthy or attempting to deal with the crisis by a re-balancing of the taxation system, has joined the bandwagon of slash and burn with regard to public services and workers’ conditions. But what we all need to remember is that this wolf pack of financial speculators is not easily appeased. In fact when they see we arte willing to accept the pain, they’re going to keep coming back for more – Social welfare rates, the minimum wage, pensions… everything that we depend on to make this an even slightly civilised society will come under attack.
Video of this talk (via Threeriversblue)
We’re all here tonight because we oppose what is happening. We can see that a society in which 1% of the population owns 34% of the wealth and in which the share of Gross National Product going to profits continues to increase while the share going to wages has been slashed – we can see that that type of society is disgusting, immoral and just plain wrong. We’re here because we want to oppose the greed and contempt for ordinary people inherent in capitalism.
This crisis cannot be solved on a permanent basis by tinkering with the edges of the current system. It can only be solved when we organise in our workplaces, our communities and everywhere we go to oppose the attacks on our class and organise to sweep away the system and replace it with one based on justice, fairness and equality.
The challenge for each of us is to begin to imagine that new society. It’s relatively easy for us all to agree that we are opposed to the way things are. It’s easy to declare that we don’t accept the Fianna Fail/Green party analysis that There Is No Alternative. But the harder challenge for us is to begin to imagine and articulate what an alternative society would look like and to begin to work towards building that society.
So let’s get organised, let’s build a huge campaign which will unite workers, the unemployed, trade union branches, community organisations and all who are angry with the government’s economic slash and burn policies bringing them together to build a united campaign against the cuts and the attacks on our living standards.
But let’s also begin a conversation about the type of society we want to replace the current mess with. Let’s imagine a society which puts the needs of the many above the greed of the few and which values equality, justice and democracy. And let’s start the process of building that new society.

A person who is constantly on the lookout for relaxation from a real or imaginary life full of tension, has a significant degree of what is called non-specific tension or NST. The major part of tension displayed by a person under NST may, however, be totally unrelated to his job or work on hand. The cause is as likely to be due to his own lack of flexibility in response to situations, ultimately leading to chronic NST.
A person with chronic NST tends to be rigid in his attitude, making him stereotype in action. Due to a lack of flexibility in shifting levels and patterns of tension, such a person is incapable of producing a high level of performance. Rigidity in outlook, in action and in thinking, creates a barrier to fast and subtle levels of communications with others. The person under NST is incapable of understanding the other person's construct system, and therefore, fails to establish a sensitive communications 'path'; subtleties and nuances, which can be the essence in certain levels of communications, get totally lost.
The rigidity brought about by NST also affects other activities where an open mind and a flexible attitude are an advantage. The NST person finds his development gets progressively restricted. As he avoids tension situations, his role playing dwindles and the opportunity for developing new skills also dwindles. NST also affects higher levels of skills, such as subtle timing, ability to co-ordinate at various levels, flexibility to take both the micro and macro view of situations... in fact, NST blunts the finer and higher executive stills.
NST affects virtually every faculty which normally should remain fine-tuned for action. Sensory processes, including visual acuity, decline; performance slows down, as a direct result of slowing of decision-making skills; irregularity in work creeps in, as more and more spontaneous pauses occur in work; and even total disorganisation at work may result.
NST makes a person touchy and extremely threat-sensitive to criticism. Even an innocent remark would invite the individual's full wrath. Other characteristics of the NST are a low self-esteem; chronic unhappiness; tendency to project personal problems on to others; decreasing capacity to learn new or complex tasks.
To the person with chronic NST, yoga opens the door to a more relaxed, alternative lifestyle. By degrees, the tension-ridden body-mind complex begins to ease up, at first only during the time of actual practice, but gradually the sense of relaxation tends to linger for longer and longer hours after the practice is over.
An increasingly stress-free body and mind complex begins to exert its influence on the emotional aspect of stress also. The same individual, who was stress-ridden and anxiety-prone round the clock, now begins to enjoy life and, what is more, finds that he is able to cope with occasional stresses as they come up.

Solo Exhibition at hpgrp Gallery
Veronica Juyoun Byun
Review: 17th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition
by Diana Lyn Roberts
The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (SAMFA) has a well-deserved reputation for its commitment to ceramics. Aside from a small but strong permanent collection of traditional and contemporary works, SAMFA (www.samfa.org) dedicates its beautiful galleries to clay-based art every spring, alternating invitational and juried exhibitions. The jewel in the crown is the San Angelo National Ceramic Competition, a biennial competitive show now in its 17th iteration. Inspired by the vision of long-time Director Howard Taylor, the competition and related events have made this West Texas town a Mecca for ceramics enthusiasts.
Along with co-conspirators Roger Allen of the Chicken Farm Art Center and the art department of Angelo State University, Taylor has crafted a collaborative, citywide art-fest with multiple exhibitions, workshops, a symposium and a growing reputation. This year’s competition brought in 1300 entries from artists in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Winnowed down to 120 objects by juror Anna Stanfield Harris, Curator of the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, the resulting exhibition displays the array of style, process and subject matter explored by contemporary ceramic artists.
From large-scale installations to traditional teapots, what strikes the viewer first is the sheer range of formal and aesthetic concerns. The show is displayed in two separate galleries, each with a mix of traditional, functional objects and more purely sculptural or conceptual pieces. The quantity of work is a bit overwhelming at first. One is immediately struck by the eternal exhibition trade-off: more space for each object, or more artwork to look at.
With 1300 entries, we can forgive the juror for selecting ten to fifteen works more than the space can comfortably hold. A few pedestals less might improve circulation, but after one adjusts to the forest of objects, textures and colors, the intuitive logic of the installation starts to emerge. Juxtapositions of form and impulse, figurative and abstract imagery, color and texture, all come together to illustrate the fundamentally malleable nature of ceramic that makes it such a compelling, diverse medium.
Harris’ prize selections give us a starting point for analyzing the range. First Prize winner Steve Hilton’s 53.405 . . .53.406 . . .53.407 is a purely sculptural work comprised of hundreds of hand-crafted flat “rocks” painstakingly piled to form an archipelago, edged in fine black sand, on the floor of the smaller gallery, just as one enters. Viewed from a balcony accessed from the upper floor of the museum, it looks like a vista from a high cliff.
Harris’ Second and Third prizes went to figurative works. Leslie Laine Lewis’ 2nd Place Siren’s Song acknowledges whimsy and humor, while Melinda G. Marino’s 3rd Place Tibetan references the classical portrait bust, with a hint of modern socio-political commentary. Divergent tendencies are evident, notably in Verne Funk’s exquisitely crafted In the Paint, an almost Surrealist depiction of a small nude figure with dunce cap, collapsed in a puddle of paint atop the bald head, one supposes, of the artist himself. Jung Hwa Lee’s The Girl presents a disturbing, psycho-sexual image of a naked, pouting child with large glowering eyes, sitting in a defensive posture with red, perhaps bloody, hands and feet, atop baby-blue synthetic fur. Nuala Creed’s Babes in Arms splits the difference, exploiting the saccharine creepiness of three baby doll forms holding various explosives, using black humor to bring the point home.
Traditional forms comprise a significant aspect of the show. Paul Fehlberg’s Organic Form #39 is the ultimate thin walled, salt-fired stoneware pot, elemental and round, pushing the limits of its perfectly balanced, rotund form. Dale Neese’s Asian-inspired Ovate Jar is a veritable compendium of process: hand-thrown reduction fired stoneware clay, rope impressions, white engobe slip, shino glaze with wood-ash applications and feldspar chunk inclusions. Daphne Roehr Hatcher’s Blue Green Portal is a simple platter form, but its elemental beauty and simple elegance more than justify its presentation as an art piece on the wall. A host of teapots and other functional forms, some traditional and others in the mode of hyper-decorated, post-modern amalgamation, offer substantial variation.
Abstract and conceptual works give further dimension to the show. Jennifer Quarles’ Cuneiform Series: The Problem juxtaposes inscribed runes in handmade stoneware tiles, with Xerox transfer overlays of computer generated text and Venn diagrams showing various relationships between the words, information, data and knowledge. Veronica Juyoun Byun’s Made in China is a 4×4-foot wall-mounted puzzle of sculptural relief blocks. On closer inspection, the individual elements are revealed to be cast from custom formed Styrofoam packing materials, a comment on our globalized consumer economy.
Ana England’s Shared Identity: Hurricane and Growth Rings with Thumbprints juxtaposes the formal similarities of its subjects and draws subtle metaphorical comparisons. Joe Davis’ Nut Boll #1 is a study in texture and organic form, like a 3-D rendering of a microscopic organism. The only free-standing sculpture in the show, Danville Chadbourne’s Sacrificial Mystery–The Perpetuation of Power and Sally Brogden’s Untitled—a wall-mounted, elegantly reflexive loop—suggest more purely sculptural concerns.
With this much work, there’s no way to address all of the physical details and interpretations in any given viewing or discussion. Like other large competitive shows, the 17th San Angelo Ceramic Competition provides a substantial cross-section of the clay-based artwork being produced by artists across the nation.
What makes the San Angelo experience special is the unity and total lack of pretense in the event itself. A small group of works was on display at SAMFA by notoriously unpretentious Ohio artist, Jack Earl, who led a full-day workshop at the Chicken Farm Art Center. The works are from the private collection of SAMFA and competition supporters John and Darlene Williams, reflecting a special artist-collector-museum relationship. An adjacent SAMFA gallery presented the excellent touring exhibition “George Ohr Rising.” SAMFA’s satellite gallery housed a show of the Texas Clay Art Association, and numerous private galleries and studios participated in a city wide Gallery Stroll. Arizona State University hosted an open symposium featuring juror Anna Harris and invited artist Jack Earl, and the unplanned but invaluable participation of ceramic scholars and art dealers Garth Clark and Mark del Vecchio. Naturally, the weekend culminates in a grand barbecue at the Chicken Farm. In short, “Ceramics Weekend” has everything: exhibitions, workshops, symposia, camaraderie and a substantial amount of beer, barbecue and live music—it is, after all, West Texas.

Business may be growing, but low vacancy rates remain an issue in Madera County
By Nathalie Granda
MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- From new business to new housing. Business is booming in Madera County so much so that economic leaders say they're in need of more space.
"All of our space has been leasing up," said Bobby Khan, Director of Madera Co. EDC.
Dozens of both county and business leaders were at the annual Madera County Economic Summit on Wednesday.
Recent development, like the Tesero Viejo and Riverstone project, is continuing to expand.
Bobby Khan says more businesses are coming to Madera County to open their doors, leading to the county's low industrial vacancy rate.
"The biggest concern is that when you have vacancy rate of under one percent, and you have continuance request for space, that you don't have any buildings to show. You have to submit a build to suit," Khan said.
It's a double edged sword, but County supervisor, Robert Poythress, says the board is looking at ways to make some space .
"The county of Madera is actively working on at least two industrial parks with various investors. It's redevelopment light. We've set one up on Highway 41, we're looking at one on Avenue 7," Poythress said.
Housing is another issue as projects like Riverstone and Tesero Viejo are selling space rapidly.
However, Speaker at the event, Dr. Jospeh Penbura, says the region, as well as the state, is behind in housing.
Along with a squeeze in availability, he also says people just can't afford a home.
"We've had a lot of immigration issues tamp down on available labor. But as far as housing, it's really got out of reach for most people. You now have higher rents, and higher mortgage on top of a slow down in building, its going to make housing availability the lowest in the history of the state," said Dr. Penbura.
While there are challenges, and the question of how much water will be available is a constant worry..County leaders say they remain optimistic for Madera County's economic state next year.
We did ask Khan about Tourism, and that's supposed to be doing really strongly next year, which is much needed after businesses took a hit from park closures due to the Ferguson fire earlier this year.
Khan also mentioned the hotel and convention center underway in Oakhurst which is expected to bring business to the area year round, and it's projects like those that they're continuing to look at for next year.

Dan + Shay Perform ‘Speechless’ at Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s Surprise Vegas Wedding [Watch]
Dan + Shay were on hand at musician Joe Jonas' wedding to actress Sophie Turner on Wednesday night (May 1), performing their hit song "Speechless" as the bride walked down the aisle.
Jonas and Turner made headlines all over the world with their surprise wedding. The couple have been together since 2016, and they got engaged in October of 2017, but they did not reveal their wedding plans in advance.
Dan + Shay joined the couple at a wedding chapel in Las Vegas to perform "Speechless" just hours after the country duo performed the song with Tori Kelley at the MGM Grand Garden Arena as part of the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. E! reports that Dan + Shay and the Jonas Brothers have been friends since they performed together at the 2015 ACM Awards.
"Our managers connected us first," Nick Jonas said in 2015. "And I heard that they liked what I was doing and I love what they were doing, and it just happened pretty organically."
DJ and producer Diplo live-streamed Jonas and Turner's wedding on Instagram. Click on the video above to see Dan + Shay perform "Speechless" at the beginning of the ceremony as Turner — who plays Sansa Stark on HBO's runaway hit show Game of Thrones — walks down the aisle. Turner and Jonas were then married by an Elvis impersonator, according to E!
R&B star Khalid was also present at the nuptials along with Nick and Kevin Jonas, who stood by their brother's side. Jonas and Turner reportedly exchanged RingPops in lieu of actual wedding rings.

Brees Sets Record, Saints Beat Falcons in OT
Jay Walker
Getty Images/Scott Cunningham
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees became the all-time leader in pass completions Sunday during the game against the Atlanta Falcons.
But it was a pair of rushing touchdowns by the veteran which won the game for the Saints.
Brees scored on a seven yard run late in the fourth quarter to tie the game and then got the game winner from a half yard out with 2:55 left in overtime as the Saints (2-1) survived over the Atlanta Falcons, 43-37.
Brees completed a pass to Michael Thomas midway through the second quarter to eclipse Brett Farve as the all time leader. The 17 yard completion was on the first play of an eight play, 70 yard drive that resulted in a 21 yard field goal by Wil Lutz.
The loss by Atlanta (1-2) spoiled a career day for Matt Ryan, who threw for five touchdowns, three to rookie Calvin Ridley in the loss.
The Saints got on the board first when Brees hit Ted Ginn, Jr. with a four yard touchdown pass following the opening kickoff. But on their second series, the Falcons tied it when Matt Ryan found rookie Calvin Ridley for 18 yards to knot the game at 7-7.
Lutz booted a 49 yard field goal that hit the left upright and went through for a 10-7 lead and booted his second field goal after Brees' record setting pass to make the score 13-7.
Ryan found Ridley again, however, on a 75 yard bomb just two plays later to give Atlanta its first lead, 14-13 with just over two minutes remaining in the first half. But New Orleans regained the lead on the final play of the first half on Lutz' third field goal of the first half, this one from 45 yards out to give the Saints a 16-14 lead at the half.
Atlanta drove 75 yards in six plays with Ridley scoring his third touchdown of the game to give Atlanta a 21-16 lead. He became the first rookie with three touchdowns receiving in a game since Odell Beckham, Jr. accomplished it in 2014.
The Saints special teams got into the game in a big way on Atlanta's next possession when Alex Okafor blocked a punt and Craig Robertson returned it twelve yards to the Atlanta 16. Brees then hit Cameron Meredith with the touchdown pass from eleven yards out for the score. It was Meredith's first catch as a Saint. Lutz' extra point made it 23-21 New Orleans with just over six minutes to go in the third quarter.
But Ryan led the Falcons on a 12 play drive and threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game, hitting Tevin Coleman early in the fourth quarter and the two point conversion gave the Falcons a 29-23 lead.
A 35 yard run by Taysom Hill highlighted the Saints' next drive and the Saints scored on fourth down from the one yard line on a pass from Brees to fullback Zach Line and Lutz' extra point gave the Saints a 30-29 lead with 9:59 left in the fourth.
The Saints held the Falcons on the next possession making Atlanta settle for a field goal attempt. But the Saints were called for a personal foul when David Onyemata made contact with the center. Atlanta took the points off the board and Ryan took advantage, hitting Mohammad Sanu with a five yard touchdown pass and found Sanu again for the two point conversion to give the Falcons a 37-30 lead with 6:58 to play.
The Saints, however, weren't done.
New Orleans drove 81 yards for the tying score on eleven plays with Brees running the ball in from seven yards out with 1:19 remaining and the Saints defense finally stopped the Falcons and the game headed to overtime.
Brees finished 39-49 for 395 and three passing touchdowns. Alvin Kamara rushed for 66 yards and caught 15 passes for 124 yards. Michael Thomas had ten catches for 129 yards.
Ryan was 26-35 for 374 yards. Ridley had seven catches for 146 yards, while Julio Jones snagged five balls for 96 yards.

5 Liveries I Love
May 30, 2017 | Author: Carrie Sinclair
Our Honeywell 757 test plane just rolled off the runway with a new paint scheme and I’m taking this opportunity to highlight liveries I love. This time we’ve gone way beyond our standard red ribbon, and it’s quite a sight.
That’s right. And it’s not just any Boeing 757. Honeywell’s 757 flying test bed has been transformed into a Connected Aircraft and boasts new artwork—aka “livery”—in advance of the Power of Connected summer tour beginning May 31 in San Francisco.
The new design on our test aircraft reflects Honeywell’s mission to bring the Power of the Connected Aircraft to the aviation industry to enhance safety, operational efficiency and passenger comfort. From the nose to tail of a plane, Honeywell is creating new connectivity applications, hardware, services and more to make travel, better and more enjoyable. How are we doing this? By leveraging our long history of developing and manufacturing avionics, environmental systems, engines, auxiliary power units, wheels and brakes and even aircraft lighting gives us a unique aviation-wide perspective on how these systems integrate, connect and make key aircraft components smarter.
Simply said, Honeywell is the best company to bring a comprehensive connected aircraft platform to life.
In honor of our aircraft’s unveiling during its world tour, I’m highlighting my favorite five liveries, or aircraft paint schemes. Of course, the new Honeywell Connected Aircraft is a personal favorite, but in the spirit of neutrality here are a few more of my “most-liked.”
5) Since Honeywell’s aerospace business is based in Arizona, I’m giving an honorary fifth place tie to the former America West’s Phoenix Suns livery and the former US Airways Arizona Cardinals paint job. The teams remain, but both airlines have flown on to new nests.
4) In fourth place, I give to you Kulula Air’s “Flying 101” plane, cleverly outfitted as an instructional diagram. The South African no-frills airline, sometimes called “The Funniest Airline in the World,” says the design was part of “a strategy to demystify air travel and explain some of the unknowns around air travel and flying.” Look out for some of the quirky lines like “the big cheese,” pointing to the captain, and “black box (which is actually orange)” as the Honeywell avionics folks are glad to point out. Kulula Fleet Gallery.
3) For altruistic, artistic and personal reasons, in the third spot, I have chosen Alaska Airline’s “Make-A-Wish” livery, featuring the wish-granting genie from Disney's "Aladdin" and the Make-A-Wish Foundation logo. My son benefited from this great organization, so it holds a special place in my heart. Alaska Airline Make-A-Wish
2) In the number two position, dressed as everyone’s favorite cartoon cat: the Hello Kitty airplane from EVA Air. Bonus points given because even the interior of the aircraft has a full-blown Hello Kitty theme. EVA Air Hello Kitty even has its own website.
1) Finally, my number one favorite airline livery: the Star Wars™ ANA jets. R2-D2™ or C-3PO™ are great, but there’s a BB-8™ theme also! My family is so into the whole series, it had to come in first. (We actually watch them in order before the next comes out; is that weird?)
There’s a lot more where these came from, such as Benet Wilson’s Cool Aircraft Liveries on Pinterest and the AirlineReporter Special Livery report (Kung Fu Panda, anyone?) show. And don’t miss WestJet’s Frozen-themed plane.
So, blog readers: What are your favorite airplane paint job? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

My Country Really Sucks!
I posted 2 articles today on this, here's one, the other I can't relocate, it's in another thread. Roger Stone said the FBI surveilled him meeting with GUCCIFER and that may be why they eyeballed Trump which would be proper if that caused it:

As far as your "deep state" Obama conspiracy stuff, you're wrong. You are never going to see reality, the deep state isn't about Obama or Reagan, they're about power and they are not going to let these figure head elected officials mess up their party or careers.
Trump will toe the line or he won't finish out 4 years. Period. Has dick to do with politics, has to do with toeing the Roman Empire line.

Everything said was correct. Podesta was hacked with a phishing ploy. The Hillary eMails were supposedly inside leaks by Democrats. What's so hard to follow?
Also remember that wiretapping the Russian Ambassador was legal - but leaking Flynn's conversation was illegal yet done by the Obama holdovers in the Intel Community AFTER Obama wrote a new directive that gave all formerly secret wiretaps to all 17 Intel Agencies in order to avoid pinpointing exactly who leaked.
One doesn't require a FISA Warrant if someone tells the wiretapper a Mission Impossible caveat that says the leaking will be PFF the books.
John L
Classic 19th Century Liberal
This is just one of the many ways it is done.
Have a Gneiss Day!
Here is yet one more example of why so many of us absolutely love loathe this wonderful example of an establishment political party.
Quote: No money for Trump’s wall, plus 6 other GOP issues missing from $1T spending bill
WASHINGTON - Congressional negotiators have come up with a $1.07 trillion plan to keep the government running through the end of September – but there’s a lot missing from the 1,665-page bill.
And much of it involves items that President Donald Trump promised during his campaign and the early days of his presidency.
Here’s a list of GOP-friendly issues missing from the spending bill.
I notice that there is no mention of just how much the deficit will be growing with an entirely Dumbass controlled executive and legislative.
Remember how the DOP leadership used to opine, "Just give us control of the House and we can get our programs passed." Then they moaned, " Just give us control of the Sanate, and we can really, really do our thing." And then, they told us, "If we can just get control of both houses AND the presidency, we will have clear sailing."
SUCKERS!!
And just to underscore my point above, the Jackass wing of the Big Government Party is celebrating the fact that they won the spending debate over the Dumbass wing of the Big Government Party.
Quote: Democrats confident they can block Trump’s agenda after spending-bill win
Democrats think they have set the stage to block President Trump’s legislative priorities for years to come by winning major concessions in a spending bill to keep the government open.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) secured nearly $5 billion in new domestic spending by exploiting disagreements between Trump and GOP lawmakers over spending priorities.
Democrats’ lopsided victory on the five-month deal, which is likely to be approved this week, means it will be very difficult — if not impossible — for the GOP to exert its will in future budget negotiations, including when it comes to Trump’s 2018 budget blueprint.
That’s because Republicans are hopelessly divided over how much to spend on government programs, with a small but vocal minority unwilling to support such measures at all. That has forced Republicans to work with Democrats to avoid politically damaging government shutdowns.
Several unmentioned things happened with that bill. The first is to realize it was not Trump's bill but the Obama spending bill began half a year ago. If Obama had signed a full bill instead of a continuing resolution, there wouldn't be a new budget until next October. One thing that Trump did get into the bill was to disconnect military spending from social projects. The Obama-era spending demanded parity. The bill includes 20-ft see-through steel walls replacing chain-link fencing, which was the construction the Defense Department wanted.
The Democrat Party is already lying about the bill. Look carefully at all the news reports mirroring the Democrat disinformation, and try not to swallow all the nonsense. What Trump's people did, was to sucker the Left into demanding big-picture, low-impact items, that they just took off the table forcing them to accept the important stuff left in the bill. Now the first real Trump budget will begin negotiation next October. It will be very interesting if he will get all he wants, but we will see.
Didn't Ryan swear that his spending bill had not removed any spending for the Trump Wall? But there is no mention of this, as many have looked for. However, this was inserted instead.
WOW! Paul Ryan’s Spending Bill Forbids Funding for Trump Wall – But Allows Funding for Border Security in Middle East
Here is a Classic Example of just how Dumbasses enable Jackasses. And it just comes natural, since they are both part of the same party: The Big Government Party.
And note who wrote the bill. And note just what the repercussions will be if it is actually passed, which would be far more intrusive than just bump stocks.
New Bipartisan Bump Stock Bill Would Actually Ban All Semi-Automatic Rifles. A new congressional proposal to ban bump stocks in the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting would actually ban all semi-automatic rifles and parts.
Quote: A new gun control proposal in Congress that is being pitched as a bipartisan bump stock ban would actually ban all semi-automatic rifles in the United States, according to an analysis of the proposed bill.
The legislation, which was drafted by Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a Florida Republican, never bans bump stocks by name. Instead, the proposal bans any person from possessing or making any part that could be used to increase the rate of fire in any semi-automatic rifle. The lead co-sponsor on the gun control bill is Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat and U.S. Marines veteran who completed four tours of duty in Iraq.
“It shall be unlawful for any person … to manufacture, possess, or transfer any part or combination of parts that is designed to increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle,” the bill states. At no point does the proposed legislation specify a base rate of fire against which any illegal increases would be judged, a potentially fatal flaw in the bill’s drafting. As a result, the proposal arguably institutes a federal ban on any and all parts that would allow the gun to fire at all, since the mere ability to fire a semi-automatic weapon by definition increases its rate of fire from zero.
This is precisely why I call them Dumbasses, and I'm being generous here.
Here's more on the Dumbasses within the DOP.
Republican Turncoats Introduce Anti-Gun Law!
Ted Cruz is sick and tired of all the bickering withing the DOP, and he's coming out swinging. He also knows just who is causing all this trouble too.
Cruz on GOP-Trump feud: 'Shut up and do your job'
Quote: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is warning his GOP colleagues to stop fighting with President Trump and focus on passing the party's agenda.
"It's like you’re back in junior high. ... We've got a job to do, damn it, and so all of this nonsense, I got nothing to say on it. Everyone shut up and do your job, is my view," Cruz told conservative radio host Mark Davis on Wednesday.
Cruz was asked about Republican Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.), who offered blistering criticism of Trump on Tuesday, but he didn't directly mention the two in his response.
He added that Americans are "frustrated" by Republicans’ inability to make good on years-long campaign promises.
"Well I think it's unfortunate the nastiness that pervades Washington now and political battles of personality that consume seemingly every minute of the media attention and an awful lot of time and energy here in this town," he said.
Trump and his White House have been locked in a fight with Corker and Flake, both of whom will not seek reelection in 2018.
Flake used a floor speech on Tuesday announcing his retirement to take aim at both the president and his own party. Meanwhile, Corker told CNN that Trump is “debasing” the country, isn't a role model for children and that he regrets supporting him.
Cruz, who ran for president last year, was a frequent target of Trump's during the Republican primary and did not endorse Trump during his speech at the Republican National Convention.
But he's aligned himself more closely with leadership on the GOP ObamaCare repeal effort, including taking part in a working group convened by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Discussing the GOP health-care effort, he argued that it was moderates, not conservatives, who had shelved the effort.
"Alright big boys, we got a majority and you know who it is who is screwing up governing? It's the so-called elder statesman moderates," he said.
Dumbass politicians are beginning to feel the heat from their constituents, who are finally beginning to "Wise Up" to their wasteful proclivities.
Facing heat at home, GOP leaders may rescind some spending
The only way to send a real message to these Big Government clowns is to take a few out and hang them publicly. Do this with both 'so called' parties, and suddenly they will begin to see the light.
After all, its the only way to be sure.
Nuke the entire site fom orbit
Nothing new to report here.......................Move along!
Let's get it all out on the table. Nixon talked about the silent majority. Nothing has changed there.
One cannot express political views without being shunned by the complicit but voluble class of entertainers, Education "experts", and MSM. Logic and facts should be the mainstay of intelligent thought - but they are only factors. Unheard factors that are difficult to put before the uninformed.
Trump is more effective than others because he is bigger than life and willing to lampoon and dishonor those offering disinformation , The bully pulpit used to be effective because Journalism recognized it and repeated it. Now, when only a fraction of information is passed on, and not without pejorative undertones, Those in the right have to work hard to reach the wretched ignorant, because their base is already informed. It may be unjust that they need to work so hard to inform those who need info the most, but it is a major constraint to be overcome.
Those who insult them for trying to be effective and understood, only add to the problem. It is hard to shine in the darkness, when the Left walls it off.
I just witnessed one of the very best interviews I have seen in months, or more. It was an interview between Tucker Carlson, and J.D. Vance. Mr. Vance, a venture capitalist and author, brilliantly explained the difference between the way the Democrats interact with their members, and how the Republicans........................... I'm going to wait and find the video of this, and post it here, but Mr. Vance's explanation is priceless, and Right On The Money. If you saw this interview live, this is exactly what I have been saying for years, but he does a better job with his tactfulness. Perhaps I am just a bit too blunt, but I have Got To Preserve This one.
Remind me to bring it up and post it.

I also saw that interview ans appreciated it. It lambasted Dems and Never-Trumpers for crafting their actions aimed at the wrong audience.
Canuknucklehead
The true purpose of democracy is not to select the best leaders — a clearly debatable obligation — but to facilitate the prompt and peaceful removal of obviously bad ones.
Yep, that's it. Thanks.
This Vance guy is one of the very few people in that sorry worthless party of Dumbasses, who has his Shit together, and is able to communicate this publicly. And the Never Trumpers, like that insufferable Bill Krystal, need to be retired from all this. They're totally worthless IMO.

AIA Maine is pleased to announce the honorees of the 2018 AIA Maine Design Awards program. The winners were revealed and celebrated Wednesday night at Brick South in Portland.
Approximately 170 members of Maine's design community gathered to experience an evening of great architecture and design, showcasing 48 of Maine’s best architectural projects.
Jessie Carroll, Associate Principal at Whitten Architects and a member of the AIA Maine Board of Directors and Design Committee, welcomed attendees to AIA Maine's 18th award ceremony. AIA Maine president, Kay Stevens-Rosa announced the winners and shared the jury’s insights about each award-winning project.
This year’s Portland, Oregon-based jury reviewed the entries and narrowed the group to seven honorees.
2018 Award Recipients:
Honor Award
Elliott + Elliot Architecture, House on an Island
Jury Comments: "The entire jury appreciated the clarity and execution of this project. Great care was taken with every aspect of the design - From the way the house, deck and porch are placed in relationship to the existing house and landscape, to the way the interior materials are applied. The design team employed great restraint, including only what was needed so that every piece plays a role in the success of the final design. This project is refreshingly simple and perfect."
Whitten Architects, Family Farmhouse
Jury Comments: "From the clarity of design to the way the building was photographed, this project shows that the designers understand the profound power of good site placement, controlled daylight, simple volumes and humble materials. The building is an elegant backdrop for the evolving small family within, carefully sited to create humane outdoor spaces sheltered from prevailing winds and capturing much needed sun."
Caleb Johnson Studio, Green Camp
Jury Comments: "The jury appreciated how this project creates a dynamic interplay between the interior and exterior, framing and editing the surrounding landscape while blurring boundaries. The jury also loved how the unexpected finishes and colors further reinforce the connection to nature."
Citation Award
Scott Simons Architects, Brattleboro Music Center
Jury Comments: "This project is a great example of how to do more with less to elevate the function and mission of an important organization. Integrating an existing school building and seamlessly enveloping it with a series of new volumes, the project creates a very cohesive, clear, functional and understated collection of spaces. The material palette is extremely spare and economical yet beautiful."
Scott Simons Architects, Patrons Oxford
Jury Comments: "This project shows how daylighting, natural materials, and connection to nature can greatly improve the experience of workplace design. The uniquely ‘bent’ plan of the building helps to reduce the scale both inside and out while providing more opportunities for views through, across and out to the surrounding landscape. The space is evenly daylit throughout, with large floor to ceiling windows that reduce visual contrast to relax the eyes. The color and material palette is consistent from interior to exterior, further reinforcing the continuity with nature. The Jury also appreciated the attention given to sustainability and energy efficiency.
Scott Simons Architects, Shimmield Residence Hall at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences
Jury Comments: "The Jury really appreciated how the design team wove this building into the site, working around existing rock formations and settling the building into the existing topography. The use of material completes this idea, with care given to ensuring that materials blend from inside to outside to reinforce the connection to nature. The design team also brought an innovative approach to the program – In this case the mixing of students and visiting scientists was a great insight that offers potential for the informal exchange of ideas and more effective learning. To top it off, the fact that the design is incredibly energy efficient makes the connections to nature even deeper and more meaningful."
Craft + Sustainability Award + Citation Award
GO Logic, Alnoba
Jury Comments: "This project presents an extremely careful relationship between site, vernacular form, structure, material and space. Each element contributes elegantly to the story, and the story would not be complete without all of the parts. From the way the buildings rest on the site, the way the massing clusters in familiar ways, to the subtlety of how light passes through the structure, every aspect of this project’s design was considered for how it can contribute to the whole.
The jury felt that this project is not only designed beautifully, but it is also an example of how to integrate energy efficiency seamlessly while achieving an extremely high level of craft. Every detail was considered for its ability to weather the inevitable effects of time, providing an opportunity for the patina that develops to enhance the project rather than detract from it. The building is on track to meet Passive House certification, not a small feat given the size and complexity of the project. Creative methods to maintain air-tightness and thermal insulation were integrated throughout yet there is no lack of continuity to the outside and the details are integrated in way that one would have no idea that the building has a high performance envelope."

Balduins Tod. By Carl Voretzch, in Verzeichnis der Doktoren welche die Philosophische Fakultät der Universität in Tübingen im Dekanatsjahr 1904-05 ernannt hat
W., R.
Romance scholars who are interested in the legend of Ogier will welcome information as to the present edition of the Mort Balduin. It is difficult to keep track of many publications which appear in a semi-fugitiv manner, like this. Professor Voretzsch is preparing a publisht the episode of the death of Balduin as a preliminary. He deservs our thanks for thus putting at our disposal the valuable text before us. Mr. Voretzsch publishes in paralel colums the texts of the following MSS.: Bibliothèque Nationale, fonds français, 24,403 (MS. A); Durham (MS. C); Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, 2985 (MS. P); Turin, Biblioteca Nazionale, L IV 2 (MS. T). The two latter are in Alexandrine verse. He aiso publishes the important variants, and adds the prose version of the edition publisht towards the year 1498 by Antoine Vérard. Several facsimiles add to the value and charm of the present publication. The broad, generous pages permit the editor to offer an adequat picture of the various manuscripts and versions. Those who are making a study of the relationship and development of epic material in Old French, will find this volume quite useful.
