Will travel for brands
May 8, 2019 by Clinton Bowman
What a season. The English Premier League—the world’s most popular soccer league—is nearing the end of one of the most memorable seasons in recent memory. Fans are enraptured by a months-long battle royale between two of soccer’s strongest teams, Liverpool and Manchester City. It has come down to the final weekend of games to decide who will win the league title and lift the coveted sterling silver trophy overhead.
While many captivating stories played out in this banner year—like this game-stopping furry pitch invader that brought one stadium to a standstill—the most memorable moment for me was seeing my first game in the flesh. After five years of following the Premier League and nearly a year of planning, three friends and I made the trek to London to watch the storied game, known as the North London Derby, between London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. While the team I support, Arsenal (go, Gunners!), ultimately drew with Tottenham at the final whistle, it still felt like a win for us Seattleites. The nine-hour flight, and cost of tickets and hotels didn’t dishearten us in the least.
We were so enamored with our experience, despite neither side winning, that we committed to do it again next year. Are we soccer fanatics? Quite possibly. But it goes deeper than that. Looking back on that weekend in London, I can’t help but appreciate how the storytelling of the Premier League’s brand lured me to super fandom.
Until 2012, most Americans could not readily access the Premier League. While sports fans may have known the name Ronaldo or that some guy named Beckham could really bend it, hardly anyone paid much mind to English soccer. That all changed when the Premier League inked a deal with NBC Sports. Americans were given a front row seat to the best soccer on the planet and like other Anglo-imports such as the British Invasion, New Wave, and Downton Abbey, we ate it up.
With a platform on American tellys, the Premier League had an outlet to educate Americans on the values and heritage of the clubs and the league itself. Before kick-offs commentators would regale viewers about the club’s rich history or meaning of the rivalry match told over decades of footage, effectively making their history ours. Through storytelling, they positioned each club as full of lore, rich with tradition, and even familiar. They bet that we Americans would fall in love with Premier League not only because of the athleticism, but because they had beautiful narratives to share—narratives we could easily make our own.
While 2A hasn’t done branding work for the Premier League (at least, not yet), we approach the challenge in much the same way. From new businesses to established enterprises, we help our clients demonstrate their value and create captivating stories to support brands. Because what businesses wouldn’t want their customers to find a similar, fly-across-the-world bliss in their brand?

The Miss Project
Perception Can Result in Reality, Applies to Teen Obesity
March 25, 2015 July 15, 2019 uAh7gFgQqp
Teenagers have a struggle with self-confidence, fitting in and various other aspects of changing bodies and growing up, dealing with peers and the new experiences that come with reaching the teenage years. Now, studies show that teenagers who struggle with self-image and see themselves as obese may actually become obese because of that perception.
Florida State University Research Shows Teens May Become Obese
Research done by Florida State University personnel says that teens who see themselves as obese are more likely to deal with actual obesity as an adult. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health was used to examine the health statistics for over 6,000 teenagers. When looking at the statistics, the researchers focused on those who had a healthy weight by medical standards but labeled themselves as obese. Research showed that these teenagers were 40-percent more likely to become obese in adulthood. You may end up needing an in home personal trainer los angeles if you happen to live in that area.
Intriguing Fact: Correlation Between Perception and Later Risk Stronger in Boys
Researchers found a surprising detail in the bloodflow restriction studies they were completing. Boys that saw themselves as obese during teenage years were more likely to become obese as an adult. The reason for this is unknown, although researchers suggest it may because society and people close to girls may point out weight gain more quickly than they would with a boy. The correlation showed that boys were as much as 89-percent more likely to obese as adults if they perceived themselves as obese as a teenager yet were medically considered healthy.
This shows an interesting fact when it comes to intervention for teenagers. Considering changing their sweet sixteen plans from buying them their dream car to a bowflex may “work out” wonders for them. It may be necessary to start changing the focus now. Currently, concerns focus on females who may face eating disorders to be slender and attractive by society’s standards. Instead, it may be better to create a two-pronged approach so that both male and female teenagers are taught to view their weight more realistically and less based on a number for weight or clothing size. Changing perception in teenage years is important, that has been known for some time. Still, it is a relatively new discovery that not attempting to change teenage boys’ perceptions may be detrimental in adult years.

The Comeback Inn throughout the centuries
ripvanwormer
Post by ripvanwormer » Mon Dec 04, 2017 2:04 am
BC 5000: In this era Khoronus (possibly known in his mortal days as Kargas Dolunt) creates a device that allows him to travel through space and time. It isn't yet an inn, and it isn't as useful as the Comeback Inn will one day be. It likely takes the form of an unadorned gateway.
BC 4000: Fredigar Cripps ("the Fat Man") discovers a vast fortune during his one and only adventure and uses it to build the Comeback Inn, commissioning mages from as far away as Mohacs to weave unique spells into its construction. The spells make the inn effectively immune to damage and prevent those who enter it from leaving unless aided from people outside. A gateway is constructed in the cellar, leading to other times and places. During his adventures, the still-mortal Khoronus discovers a device more advanced than his own that aids him in his quests; this turns out to have been created by his Immortal future self. It seems possible that this was the Comeback Inn.
Further speculation: Fredigar Cripps discovered his fortune after venturing through the portal created by the mortal Khoronus, which might have manifested in the ruins beneath Castle Blackmoor.
The Iron Duke, Taha Marcovic, sought to use the Comeback Inn in his scheme to rid himself of King Uther Andahar. DA1 implies that they discovered a wizard, one of those who had helped create the Inn, who gave up its secrets voluntarily and was betrayed and killed for his trouble (by Marcovic's personal wizard, identified elsewhere in the module as the Green Man, Tamis Azkanikin). My suggestion is that the wizard who was killed was Kvale Dram, mentioned in ZGG's The Wizard's Cabal as being a High Spellwise of the Wizards' Cabal, recently assassinated. During the Vestfold Revolt, a cadre of sorcerers took over the Wizard's Cabal headquarters in Vestfold, slaying some of the wizards there. Perhaps this was staged by Taha Marcovic in order to abduct Kvale Dram and bring him in for interrogation.
Besides Khoronus/Kargas Dolunt and Kvale Dram, for additional flavor I suggest some extraplanar mages helped lay dweomers on the Inn. Dragon #351 names a mercane, Ilyndele, and an illithid, Sharth, as among those rumored to have helped in the creation of the World Serpent Inn, but for a "purer" Mystara campaign perhaps Ilyndele should be a planar spider and Sharth a neh-thalggu. With the other builders on other planes after the Inn's creation, only Kvale Dram was vulnerable to Taha Marcovic's and Tamis Azkanikin's machinations.
BC 3731: Apocryphal ZGG sources name this as the Age of the Wolf, a time when Blackmoor City is in ruins. Adventurers who use the Comeback Inn to travel to this era are likely to find monstrous creatures in and around the inn: dragonborn, tieflings, beastmen, ash goblins, death priests, and ash goblin brood mothers. The innkeeper could be an ash goblin brood mother.
BC 3000: These are the last days of the Blackmoor civilization. Blackmoor City is a vast metropolis, one of the most important cities in the world. Adventurers who travel to this era using the Inn will find it looking remarkably old-fashioned in a cityscape of neon, crystal, and chrome, unless you decide its form changes with the times. DA1 has the Comeback Inn's magic powerful enough to allow it to survive the Great Rain of Fire, but it was sank beneath the sea for the following 200 years, was encased in a glacier for another 800 years, and spent the following millennia in what are now the Broken Lands.
However, if you'll recall, Wrath of the Immortals has Khoronus sending both his original device and the greater artifact he discovered (speculated here to be the Comeback Inn) into the future. If my speculation is correct, Khoronus could have snatched the Comeback Inn out of time moments before the cataclysm and sent it to Brun, where the Broken Lands would one day be.
BC 2800: According to DA1, the Comeback Inn is underwater from BC 3000 until this date. Having aquatic races frequent it in the submerged, radioactive ruins of Blackmoor City might be interesting. Imagine merrows and tritons forming a community in the ruins around the Inn, defending it from the aquatic minions of the Egg of Coot. At some point, though, Khoronus moves the Inn to Brun.
BC 2300: In this era, I believe what will one day be the Broken Lands is part of the giant kingdom of (Northern) Grondheim. Travelers to this era will find themselves in a land of giants, trolls, and fey. One possibility is that the Comeback Inn on a trading route between giant and fey communities, which seems more interesting than having it imprisoned in a glacier until BC 2000. A village of mixed humans, elves, dwarves, fauns, pixies, and trolls could have formed around the inn, offering shelter to travelers on their way to the court of the Troll Queen. Travelers from further nations might stop here as well on their way to treat with the giants.
BC 1700: The future Broken Lands are settled by elves in this time. Originally, the premise was that the Broken Lands were created by the Blackmoor explosion, the Great Rain of Fire, and therefore the Comeback Inn, located as it was in Blackmoor City, would have been at the center of it (though DA1 suggests the inn is somewhat south of "the volcanic heart of the land," suggesting it wasn't at the very center). This was retconned so that the Broken Lands was instead the result of a later explosion caused by elves, but it seems reasonable to think it was still near the center of the disaster.
Accordingly, consider the possibility that the Comeback Inn is located within or near the fortress of Atziann (which I called Atzavalon in this thread). Atziann might even have recovered the Blackmoor device that doomed his people from the portal in the Comeback Inn and built his fortress around it to prevent others from accessing its secrets. Or it might be located outside, a place where travelers hoping to trade with Atziann's clan can stay before entering the fortress proper. Atziann's clan is made up of outcasts, warlocks and witches attracted to his promises of arcane secrets and power, opposed to the elven mystics dwelling in what will one day be called Glantri City to the north.
AC 1000: According to DA1 and DA2, the Comeback Inn is located a week's journey from Corunglain and two weeks from Glantri, though DA2 says it would only be a week's journey from Glantri if the journey weren't so circuitous. Locating the Inn somewhere in the middle of the Broken Lands makes sense, then. DA1 describes the surrounding terrain as a "broken desert of rock and scree... the wilderness of rock and sun..." a "tortured land" with "rocky peaks... sandy-bottomed canyons..." with twisted rock formations. The Inn is near a chimney of rock of crumbly sandstone, on a ledge of igneous rock similar to that found "further north in the volcanic heart of this broken land."
The description of the terrain is probably most similar to Orcus Rex. If you wanted to put it exactly midway between Glantri and Darokin you could place it near Khyr on the border between Orcus Rex and Ogremoor. On the other hand, the Plateau of Zyrd in High Gobliny to the east is also approximately halfway between the two bordering nations. Zyrd is south of a volcano and has a forest of petrified trees and has a flat area where Rock of Oenkmar used to be, "rumored to be haunted." If time travelers occasionally emerged from it, that could certainly give rise to rumors of ghosts, and the fact that Zyrd is off limits except to goblin shamans would explain why humanoids don't regularly make use of the Inn.
The Future: Adventurers using the Comeback Inn to explore a dark possible future in which magic has been utterly drained from the world are likely to discover a city of oards. Oards are likely to try to quarantine the inn, wary of the fact that magic apparently still works here due to the inn's connection to other times (if it didn't, the PCs wouldn't be able to use it to travel to this future). Adventurers seeking to explore the world beyond the inn would likely have to make their way past oard checkpoints and security systems. They may be aided by rebels plotting against the oard government.
An alternate future: Another creature rumored to be from the far future is the reflecter. Reflecters could be from further along on the oard timeline, representing some hyperevolved descendant of the oards, or they could be from an alternate timeline where magic never died, determined to prevent the oard timeline from coming to pass. Travelers to this future are likely to find it largely incomprehensible, a world of organic silvery forms and museums filled with artifacts collected from other times and worlds.
Other worlds: Aelos from Where Chaos Reigns, versions of Blackmoor on Oerth and other worlds, and the World Serpent Inn (and/or its known destinations, including Arabel, Greyhawk, Irongate, and Sigil) are other possible destinations of the Comeback Inn's portal.

Oh, god, no. This would be BAD for business.
I'm interested in the Oard timeline, though. So, Mystara's future is to be devoid of magic?
Zeromaru X wrote: So, Mystara's future is to be devoid of magic?
Potentially. The Immortals Rules said that the D&D game took place in a period called the Age of Magic, and that the solar system's most distant planet "will remain undiscovered until the solar system can be re-explored by use of technology, many thousands of years after the passing of the Age of Magic."
Gaz 3, The Principalities of Glantri, said that beneath Glantri City lies an artifact known as the Nucleus of the Spheres, which generates an energy called the Radiance that wizards use to gain strange powers and ascend to Immortality in the Sphere of Energy. The Immortals of rival Spheres put a curse on the artifact to punish the Immortals of Energy for "cheating" in this way: the curse slowly drains magic from the world of Mystara as the Nucleus of the Spheres is used. In that text, the Immortal Khoronus is quoted telling "an outer-world visitor"
Khoronus wrote: "Later in mankind's history, magic may vanish, along with the object and the motive for Energy's crime. 'How could we?' do you say? Magic is indeed a precious power, but a power not to be foolishly wasted. It must remain in the spheres of those who truly understand it. There will be a time for mankind when magic will yield to the coming of technology. Mortals shall then learn to tame their own universe by powers that are truly that of their plane. Magic and Immortality shan't stand in their way. Such is the Law of Immortals."
Later in the book, there's an outline for a time travelling campaign in which the PCs discover that the only way to prevent magic from being drained from the world is to travel back in time to the Blackmoor era and destroy the Nucleus of the Spheres before it became an artifact (it was originally the engine of the Beagle, A.K.A. The City of the Gods). The price paid for that is that the Principalities of Glantri never existed: the Radiance was the reason they were originally settled, so the area is trackless wilderness. The Flaems who originally settled the region went somewhere else instead, perhaps some other world with promises of secret magic to exploit.
The unmagical future might have been averted by the events of Wrath of the Immortals, when the Nucleus of the Spheres was altered so that it drains negative energy instead of magic (in order to punish the Sphere of Entropy), though there's still a week when magic ceases to function.
Oards first appeared in Where Chaos Reigns, where they were a time-traveling race of cyborg clones interfering with various events in a world's history to bring about a future without magic where they could come into existence.

Do we have Oards in any other official product, apart from Where Chaos Reigns?

Great work, well researched and creative as always Rip!
I might add something like:
BC3500: Blackmoor City has been rebuilt. It is now the spear head for the ongoing Beastman Crusades. The first Dragonlord uses Comeback Inn to obtain the armor of the Blue Rider as his secret weapon in the fight against the Draconic masters of the Beastmen.

Or maybe he hires the PCs to do this. Or maybe the dragons (led by Chamber?) hire the PCs to use the Inn to steal the armor from the Dragonlord...

I noticed this just now: what are reflecters in this context?
Post by ripvanwormer » Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:56 pm
They're a monster from AC9 Creature Catalogue. There's a 3e conversion at the Vaults of Pandius: http://pandius.com/reflectr.html
They resemble living statues of reflective metal. The Creature Catalogue states that "these odd creatures are rumoured to be creatures from the far future, 'time traveling' to collect valuables."

Cant help but think that releasing what basically is a beta that isn't even feature complete wont do them any favors as far as PR and sales go.
Pretty sure this will be a terrible seller, at least with Space Hulk you had the GW IP to milk. And not surprising the game is no where to be found within Steams top seller list
Yea, well, water under the bridge. They ran out of money. Like every other JA dev that tackled this monster game. It's the curse of JA. Lures devs in, they think it's an easy game to make than when they break it down they find out it's made of a billion tiny little parts that take ages to make properly.
And by the time they are halfway up the list, the money run out.
Imho, you need to be able to fund a studio of at least 20 people for at least 24 months to be even close to the goal of making a JA game. That's at least 50-60k for salaries and another 10k for extras... let's make it a round number and say 100k/month. So 1.2M/year. Budget for the final game? 2.4M euros minimum. And when you're done and the game is a perfect gem, you might run into the problem Bioware has:
That said, BioWare stands in a tough position. Their highest rated game, Mass Effect 2, got a metacritic score of 96 which is almost impossibly high. That game barely cracked 2 million copies sold. Compare this to the XBOX-only sales of Fallout 3 (3.5 million), Oblivion (3.5 mil), Fable 2 (4 mil), Red Dead Redemption (4.2 mil), Assassin's Creed (5 mil), forget BLOPS (12 mil). Dragon Age sold roughly the same as Mass 2, and both games cost and took about the same amount of time to produce as anything else on this list. So you have to wonder, why are BioWare game selling so much less with such higher quality?
What are the chances of this game being modded into something special?
Depends how much the devs are willing to unlock for modding. Atm is possible to reuse the map assets and to replace all sectors BUT... the UI is locked and not moddable, so you can't edit the Strategic map. Remaking Arulco? Not yet.
Also weapon performance is completely editable through JSON files and weapon icons are very easy to alter as they're external PNG files. BUT... you cannot add new weapons yet, just edit the existing ones.
Same goes for mercs and misc items.
They begun opening up the game for modding, then halfway they stopped, realized they took a lot of time and money are running out and wrapped up the game in full panic mode. And every plan went down the drain. Nevermind the fact that they had looong time offs due to heat waves and then more time offs due to Gamespot and other PR events. Bad time management, small team, trying to do too much in too short of time with too little funds.
Not like FC story is unique in gaming world. Most game design studios are a disorganized mess.
So what are the chances of JA:F making a spectacular recovery and becoming a great JA game and a fully moddable project? 50/50 atm. Anything could tip the balance in either direction. Bad sales will discourage FC from putting more time in the game. Lack of core features, polish and immersion will sink the game further in reviews and user feedback. And generate less sales.
On the other hand, quick emergency work (attachments, JA2 like cutscenes for immersion, revised UI) save the game and put it on right track.
The ball is in the air. We'll see.

Well, they better unlock FECKING EVERYTHING for modding, as this was a central promise to the crowdfunding campaign from the very beginning!
Actually, the fact that the game isn't completely moddable from the very start upon release could be seen as a broken promise already!
The whole thing should have been developed with maximum moddability from the very start, complete with the appropriate tools. And i sincerely hope that FC will do absolutely EVERYTHINg in their power to pull through with that and provide this community what it needs, or someone will have to go out there and pay a mercenary outfit to make FC pay their dues!
I wonder if the funds for that could be raised by Kickstarter?
I also hope, that FC will use the money from their next Space Hulk game to further work on JA:F, until it is somewhat feature complete on a vanilla JA2 level the very least!
Or maybe they really could do another crowdfunding run for improving JA:F, especially the content (vioceacting etc.). At least they now have something playable to show for, which they should have had from the very start.
Bad sales will discourage FC from putting more time in the game. Lack of core features, polish and immersion will sink the game further in reviews and user feedback. And generate less sales.
For which FC will have nobody to blame than themselves ultimately. And for which they should expect little understanding or sympathy even from us. And god knows i try to be fair to them!
You know, the Witcher games also got a free content update (enhanced edition) many months from the initial release, which greatly improved the (quite flawed release version) game on many, many levels. I think, JA:F deserves something similar. A very dedicated post release support, which proves the sense of duty and love of the devs for their product and the fanbase.
Because if Full Control fails at that and JA:F flops miserably because of that, i doubt FC will have much of a future as a studio. So it is in all their best interest to provide and secure their jobs!
During the last summer FC had miserable time management. Worked slowed down considerably for summer months. Then they realized they ran out of time. So yes... it's their own fault.
It was all going fine with modding and development until that time. That proves they have the know-how to open up the game. We'll see. In the meantime keep watching Top Sellers chart on Steam. The game doesn't look like it's doing too bad.
This is the full Strategy top sellers list.
This is the same list, after you eliminate irrelevant shit (Farming) and 2013 games or older games. If in the next weeks the game drops further down the list, it's a bust. So far it's number 6, after some good games.

Really? Somehow I remember this differently and went back to look at the original kickstarter pitch
"modding - the game engine we are using is different than the engine used in Jagged Alliance 2. This gives new possibilities as well as cuts away others from earlier days. Given the final budget size, we want to include editors and modding as possible. But we can at this point not give any guarantees for modding feature X or asset Y."
"Will there be mod support?
Support for modding is important for a Jagged Alliance title. Depending on the final budget we will work on opening up for things like a map editor and dialog editor."
Map editor is there if I understood correctly and not much else was promised?
Impression after playing two of the maps; game plays sluggishly, bugs here and there.. I like how the game looks like, I can live with the new interrupt system and music is nice (not brilliant like in JA2).
I see potential in this, if they could use 12-18 months development time in it.
Still, it shows clearly that this was rushed out as unfinished..
So, shit reviews -> shit sales -> no more major development. I expect they'll polish the game with bug fixes and some minor features e.g. different ammo types some weapon attachments maybe and that's it
Don't regret backing the game. Pretty much in line what I expected (yet, I secretly hoped that "this time is different")
Re: JA:F Steam release first impressions[message #337075] Fri, 24 October 2014 00:23
Funny how that turned out eh? About 50-75% of the inner game stuff is externalized now in JSON files:
camera & other settings
bonuses and penalties
loot chances
enemey load-outs
shop inventories
IMP creation
trash items
sector map
With a free map editor added (cause KS never reached the goal for it) and from my talks with the devs 3d models are next in line. And maybe with enough diplomacy, the fugly UI thing. And maybe one day even the AI scripting, which anyway is pretty high level stuff.
Guess they kinda fucked up on the modding promise, they never kept their word. Lol.
Btw, Thomas and Roman will be my guests on the special Twich post-launch stream. Most likely will happen next weekend. If you have questions to ask, make sure you show up and ask them live.
[Updated on: Fri, 24 October 2014 00:30] by Moderator
FC didn't promise that much about modding in the KS campaign, but many voices pushed them, Shanga first in line, to put an incentive on it.
As a result, we have several externalisations, but some problems made them take back externalised assets, the Unity engine brings some limitations too, and finally, FC has a technology they can't fully open to the community.
We should be able to mod this game in some (good) extent in the future, better than most other games around.
Very nice ! Some discussions could be interesting for both the players and the devs if they come.
OK, allright, maybe i didn't remember it correctly, so i take back my accusation of broken promises from FC.
Still, full modding support was THE central demand of this fine community, so we could do here what FC isn't able to due to budget and time constraints.
Too bad really, that the crowdfunding campaign didn't reach the full modding tools milestone.
Same here. It was still money well invested. My hopes were higher too, although my realist sense told me to not expect wonders for such a small budget, especially after what i had seen with Space Hulk.
Sounds like good fun. Will attend.

Anyone with a hell of lot more C# skills than I have could do some poking around in the DLL files. Some of it makes a little sense to me but most of it I can't make heads or tails out of. I know they did some DLL injection with the JA:BIA mods. Just a thought.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/jagged-alliance-flashback let's see when the scores start to come in. I'm afraid this is going to get slammed hard.
I wonder if they really did not see that the game is not good enough at current state (for the general public, I don't mind waiting and I already voted with my wallet) and opt for more development with their own funds (and their own risk) or look for more external money..
..or are studio's finances so bad that they were forced to put it out now to get some money flowing or go tits up. ..I remember Lund mentioning couple of times that salaries and bills need to be paid. So maybe FC is in a tight spot right now
Disclaimer: this is only my speculation, I have no knowledge of their finances
Well I just posted mine. And I think I highlighted exactly why I invested in JAF and why I don't regret even one cent. I encourage all if you do write a review and do let trolls nail this game into the ground.

Getting the source code with Reflector (or any equivalent tool) from Assembly-CSharp.dll doesn't make the project compilable. It would require lots of manual work writing that IL code to C#. Using Reflector+Reflexil in the middle would be an alternative approach as you're suggesting. As the topic was interesting with Reflexil it was possible to change a hard coded line of text to other. However, I think poking with dll's broke the compatibility with level editor or something. In the end, modifications with Reflector+Reflexil would require a lot of work too as it's a low-level programming language. So probably not reasonable doable.

@Shanga Good day to all the Bears.
I've played the Flashback and I like it. I think it's pretty nice game now, but it may be much better in the future. I was expecting something like what we have now, so I'm not disappointed by the game. I think it's a great result for FC.
Unfortunately our Russian JA community is not very satisfied with the game. The majority of our members also do not like English, so I'm one of the men who have to make communication between the Russian community and all other people. (Again, like it was during kickstarter program)
So, we have a lot of haters and people, who cries about real time and all drop, but we have adequate wishes too. I promised to guys that I'll translate their ideas to English and show to FC. I'd be happy if you will recommend me where to post them, cause I see that you know the situation better then me.
Of cause, the wishlist will be cleaned from swearings and death wishes to FC.
Thank you for posting here and sharing the feelings of the russian community. It's nice to have a liaison.
You can find the forum of Jagged alliance flashback here, where you can give your feedback to the developpers and discuss the russian players point of view.
@Grim Thank you. I'll be there in a few days.
Maybe our first wishlist will be ready tomorrow.
Now there is no hysterics: "You don't like our country. This game is antirussian agitation. etc", as it was during the kickstarter. So, It'll be a point of view of people who like Jagged Alliance and do not like English.
Re: JA:F Steam release first impressions[message #337146] Sun, 26 October 2014 00:22
Arulcish Lion, glad to see you again, my friend.
Does the RU community know that the game is scheduled to have RU translation? Maybe you guys can arrange with FC to help with that part. The files for RU localization are in game, just not ready yet.
I'm sure a lot of aspects of the game will improve in the coming of time; attachments, shops etc.
For me there are three big things that are fairly critical to me only kind of enjoying the game at the moment:
1. Why on earth can the game not remember player postions within a sector after fast forwarding on the strategic layer. For me half the fun of defending a sector in JA2 was experimenting with defensive positions and layouts of mercs, weapons etc. I think that the engine may load sectors every time after you fast forward but in that case why are loot item locations stored persistently but character locations not. I find it really hard to beleive nobody mentioned this in testing at all.
2. Enemy turns take far too long to process, it is very much like all enemy movements even the unseen ones are processed in real time, very much like the Silent Storm engine. Makes for very long battles for very little purpose. Suspect this might be another engine issue.
3. The cover system is currently non existent. Seems to me like the objects don't really have defined heights etc. Walls can be seen, shot and attacked through. It plays very much like a 2d game rendered in 3d, not a true 3d experience where you constantly have to think about differential heights, crests and overwatch like in 7.62, Silent Storm or the UFO series.
I really, really want to be hopeful but I get a horrible feeling that the above 3 issues may be more to do with how the game coding and unity have been used rather than something that can be fixed.
Assets are Unity assets. They have all the properties needed. Now if someone forgot to properly set the geometry of a certain asset... that's another issue.
[Updated on: Sun, 26 October 2014 03:05] by Moderator
Yes, it's problematic and not fun. It hasn't been reported until lately because the spawn system wasn't implemented yet. It's hard to report things when you're not sure they are final.
True. JA2 wasn't that good on that point, but several improvements of 1.13 blew a fresh breeze on that matter. JA:F has a hard time catching up on fast enemy turns.
I don't agree with you. The cover system may have problems, but it's there and it works. It needs bugfixing and tweaks though. The melee through wall has been adressed, except on some places and props. You're not supposed to shoot through walls, this must be a bug. Hmm, watch out for the "open" walls, like windows and the like, they ARE open on the upper half, so LOS enabled and cover disabled! There are 3 height levels of cover, and several props take that into account. You can crawl under a bed for example. There may be a problem with the damage localisation, i'll have to test that again when i'm home. Some people argued about that on JAF forum.
I'd agree that the current levels might have issues with certain wall types etc. but you should be able to shoot through walls depending on weapon type penetration values etc. It seems at the moment all ammo goes through walls without any check for this. At the moment it seems that you can shoot through half height cover from prone in tiles with windows in too easily.
However, all levels of the ones I have played are essentially flat with props rather than three dimensional. To me this is a much bigger issue in what is supposedly a 3d game. No appreciable hills or differences in level which was something that was talked about during the kickstarter campaign.
You know what annoys me the most currently? the fact that view cone limitation also applies in real time out of combat. i mean, one should really be able to always see all interesting spots and NPCs when out of combat to make finding them and interacting with them easier. Or at least mark their positions by echos/placeholders for easier location.
Tunnel vision makes sense during combat, but not when you are basically strolling around casually whilst looking at your surroundings.
I know this is also a feature in JA2, but i also always circumvented that through GABBI for more comfort. And really, it are comfort features like this which may decide for many people if JA:F is for them or not. Although we never wanted JA:F to become too casualized, some comfort features like this can pretty much be regarded as standard today.
@Mauser - already told them to think of a solution. Easiest one was to make out-of-combat vision 360 deg, max range. Or work the minimaps to have vital location marked. If you max vision in JSON you can pretty much see EVERYTHING in JAF maps, I've tested.
@Tango - the multilevel maps are tied to the rooftop issue. You're right, but they stated pretty early that they cannot afford to code for multilevel maps, at least not until first paid DLC/expansion.
Elite:Dangerous doesn't have planetary landings either. Despite the fact that Frontier:Elite already had them. Some features are time consuming and expensive and need to be dedicated an entire sequel (like E:D is planning with landings).
Does the RU community know that the game is scheduled to have RU translation?
Maybe you guys can arrange with FC to help with that part. The files for RU localization are in game, just not ready yet.
I suggested helping with the translation on our forum. But I do not promise any results.
A lot of time from JA2 passed. Our society is not as strong as it was years ago. Don't want to think about this but we are dying slowly. As I see, here you have active guys, who are happy to spend their time modding the game. I mean JA2 and JA:F too.
In ja2.su, in my opinion, we have a few of old veterans, who are in business for many years. Some of them spend about 10 years modding JA2. They started without source code, then worked with the code. I'm sure, you know, how it was in old times. So, now we have a few of active people (much less then earlier) and this people have to work, we have families and real life problems. We have unfinished JA2 projects and ideas. We are too old for a new war.
Now Night Ops team has about 4 man and 3 mods in work.
There are newcomers, but they usually are not so active. And retire after a few months. Do you remember how much time was spent to find guys for the translation of 1.13 stable 2014 version? I don't know about their progress, but they exist.
In the discussion of JA:F we have about a dozen of guys and many of them think that Flashback is absolutely dead end. I don't think so, that is why I'm here again and I'm preparing our wishlist. Some of the guys use so bad Russian, that it makes harm to read.
I think that it is pretty good game. But I'm not ready to take an active part in doing it. I've played beta-test a bit. I've seen some problems, but I decided that the Bears will do this work better then I.
To be honest, JA:F release is FC attainment, The Bear's Pit attainment, your, Shanga, personal attainment, but not our.
I've tried a bit. But I'm not a magician. The future is in your hands.
UPD: One of our guys is interested how to extract this nice music from the game. Is it possible?
UPD2: Now I know how to extract music. So the question is not actual any more.

Haven't posted in a while but I'm a bit shocked to find out about FC taking time off just because they didn't have an air condition in the office
Or that they wasted time in general and then put out this half-baked game...
Wohoo, easy, easy...
FC took a week of vaccation in july (the whole team), as they have to provide holidays to their employees, and Thomas thought it was best to close for all to optimize efficiency. Heat strikes were mentionned, but not as a cause the vaccations as far as i know, it was just random weather talking, like you do with your neighbor.
During summer, we didn't have a lot of feedback, but that doesn't mean they were sitting on their thumb. There is a lot of work behind the scene to build a game, and from an outside point of view, it's hard to estimate.
I'm not here to take their defense, but the accusations seem a little abusive from where i stand.
Well what's done is done, nobody can go back in time (yet). And yes, they took like a week off, not 2 months. If you think about it, they wouldn't do much work at 40deg anyway, they're not born in Sahara. They're Danish, if it's more than 10 deg. outside they get a sunstroke ^^.
Apart from that break, they coded like crazy on 3 projects at a time (fixing SH, working on JA:F, preparing for new SH expansion). Probably didn't look much like vacation this 2014 summer...
And they game is good, it's just like a juicy stake, wrapped up in soiled brown paper and tied up with brown rope. All it needs is decent packaging and display case. And some chef to plate and season it a bit.
Damn I am hungry now...
Of course there is nothing wrong with taking a (coordinated) vacation. They way I read Shanga's post above I maybe misunderstood something - it read to me that valuable time was carelessly wasted. I wasn't around at that time so I can only relate to what I hear (or rather, what I read).
I said so on the JAF official forum - I think we have a good solid basis for what can become a great game.
But at the moment it is not more than a beta to me. I really don't mind FC taking longer to finish the game and I really like the guys but I'm afraid that the majority of the still necessary work will eventually be dumped on the Bear's Pit.
Now I know that you are capable of turning JAF into almost a AAA game as you have proven with the 1.13/UC Hybrid, but in that case I'd rather have spent some of my kickstarter money on you good people than on FC... It just doesn't seem right to me that I spend way more than what a AAA console game would cost and then volunteers have to finish the job.
You're not up to date with news, are you? ^^
I've just got Thomas Lund to confirm live, on Twitch, the plan I've been working on for a year now, discretely and undercover. To have community mods integrated into JAF (true, only THE BEST OF THE BEST) as paid DLCs. He even added, on his own initiative, that ANY large scale content provided by the community - if needed - will be remunerated. As long we're able to guarantee an initial Quality Check for the submissions, so they don't get swamped in crapolla send by everyone and his mum who thinks she's awesome at 3d skinning with Paint.
All we need now is to put our mouth where our money is )
[Updated on: Tue, 28 October 2014 01:07] by Moderator
Did it say so anywhere in written? I tuned in for a few minutes but I don't have the time to listen to a 5 hours Twitch cast
Does that mean we have to pay for mods that have a new storyline like Urban Chaos e.g. (which is perfectly fine)? Or will we have to pay for basic functions that should have been in the game in the first place?
It's on the front portal page of the forum mate...boo...
Nope. Large scale or small scale fixes made by the community and quality approved by the BP Panel and the put into the game will always be part of the main game. Thomas said that they're willing to discuss a financial remuneration if a group comes to them with a massive update or fix, but that patch won't be "resold" to you. It will just become part of the game.
As for large scale or small scale DLCs made by our community, it's really up to the modders. I will recommend anyone to first launch a couple of small FREE MODS on the market, so Steam community will be aware of their skills.
People are paying for JA2 Wildfire, right? Those russians were a group of modders and nobody committed suicide to protest they're selling a mod.
So to answer your question, if ever I manage to put together such an awesome team as we had when JA2UC was done, maybe even get some of the old timers back, yes, JA:F Urban Chaos will have a price tag. But not a high price tag, you won't have to pay 40 euros for it, like you do with Bioware and shit. Would you object to paying 10-15 euro for JAF:UC?
Also I will recommend any modder to price his mini-DLC somewhere around 3 euro and below. That way the project and the game itself will gain traction.

Supplement Forms/Alternate Names
• NADH
• Jet Lag
• Alzheimer's Disease; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; Depression; Parkinson's Disease; Sports Performance Enhancement
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is an important cofactor, or "assistant," that helps enzymes in the work they do throughout the body. NADH particularly plays a role in the production of energy. It also participates in the production of L-dopa, which the body turns into the important neurotransmitter dopamine.
Based on these basic biochemical facts, NADH has been evaluated as a treatment for jet lag, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, and as a sports supplement. However, only the first of these uses has any meaningful scientific evidence behind it, and even that is highly preliminary.
Healthy bodies make all the NADH they need, using vitamin B 3 (also known as niacin or nicotinamide) as a starting point. The highest concentration of NADH in animals is found in muscle tissues, which means that meat might be a good source—were it not that most of the NADH in meat is destroyed during processing, cooking, and digestion. In reality, we don't get much NADH from our food.
The typical dosage for supplemental NADH ranges from 5 to 50 mg daily, often taken sublingually (under the tongue). Products said to be "stabilized" are available.
Two small double-blind, placebo-controlled trials suggest that NADH may be useful for enhancing mental function under conditions of inadequate sleep, such as jet lag . 1
Supplemental NADH has also been proposed as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease , chronic fatigue syndrome , depression , and Parkinson's disease . Additionally, it has additionally been tried as a sports performance enhancer . However, although a few studies have been performed to evaluate these potential uses, 2-7 none were designed in such a way as to produce scientifically meaningful results.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for NADH?
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 35 individuals taking an overnight flight across four time zones were given either 20 mg of NADH or placebo sublingually (under the tongue) on the morning of arrival. 8 Participants were twice given tests of wakefulness and mental function: first at 90 minutes and then at 5 hours after landing. Individuals given NADH scored significantly better on these tests than those given placebo.
The only other supporting evidence comes from an unpublished double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study funded by the makers of an NADH product. 9 In this study, 25 people were kept awake all night and their cognitive function was tested the following day. People given NADH performed significantly better on various measures of mental function than those given placebo. NADH did not, however, reduce daytime sleepiness or enhance mood.
These small but promising studies suggest a need for further research.
NADH appears to be quite safe when taken at a dosage of 5 mg daily or less. However, formal safety studies have not been completed, and safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

Campus Media Response, Winter 2010-11
Campus Media Response: Intrusive Airport Security at Home is the Inevitable Price of Weakness Abroad
Valery Publius
The Editorial Board of the The Alligator at the University of Florida expressestypical American outrage over the new intrusive security at airports:
The main question Americans face is not one of ultimate safety — as the Yemen-originated printer bombs did not have to pass through an intrusive pat down — but rather: How many civil liberties are we willing to relinquish for the government to tell us we’re finally safe?
We strongly recognize that the threat of terrorism is ever-present as the series of printer bombs has shown us, but we also agree that TSA’s pat-down procedures and virtually strip searching full-body scans do little if anything to solve terrorism’s increasingly intelligent methods….
Stand up for your rights, Gators. Sexual assault should not be a requirement for flying. Or you can always report those dissidents who want to keep their civil liberties for thoughtcrime.
Whether or not the TSA’s enhanced security measures are genuine violations of civil liberty, it is clear that they are an affront to civilized dignity. But travelers genuinely concerned about these measures should think seriously about what has brought us to the point of having to endure them.
It has been more than nine years since the attacks of 9/11, but it is not clear that we are any safer from the threat of an Islamic terrorist attack. A recent series of successful or attempted terrorist attacks—the Fort Hood massacre, the “underwear” Christmas bomber, the Times Square Bomber, and most recently, a would-be bomber in Portland captured by an FBI sting over Thanksgiving—demonstrate that the enemies of the United States have not lost their motivation to attack. What would the critics of the TSA have us do to oppose this threat?
Typically, the liberal critics who lament alleged infringements on domestic civil liberties—whether in the form of intrusive airport security, or warrantless wiretaps, or profiling—are the same critics who have urged the United States to show restraint in its war against Islamic totalitarian states and their proxies. But it is precisely our restraint abroad that necessitates intrusion into the lives of American citizens at home.
Some may find it difficult to believe that our wars in the Middle East have been inhibited. But the war against Islamic totalitarianism (the ideology espoused by terrorist groups like al-Qaeda) has now dragged on for nine years, nearly twice the length of World War II. Yet the enemy we face is far weaker than Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. Why is it that a comparatively weaker enemy continues to threaten us?
During World War II, Americans accepted restrictions at home as part of a concerted war effort which they knew was undertaken to ensure overwhelming defeat of our enemies in a short period of time. Today’s drawn-out, relatively low-intensity conflict with insurgents in Afghanistan is the equivalent of fighting a guerilla war against Fascist Italy while ignoring Germany. The longer we ignore the political and spiritual center of Islamic totalitarianism in Iran (to name just one prominent example), the longer this war will drag on, the more emboldened terrorists will become, and the more we will face the prospect of living our lives under permanent domestic lockdown.
The choice is either-or: either we identify our enemies explicitly and fight a war abroad fought in a manner to bring about decisive victory, or we allow our home to become both a target and a prison. As Felipe Sediles argued in the pages of The Undercurrent four years ago,
In order to end the threat of future attacks and to delimit the life and scope of new police-state powers, we must therefore demand a war declaration, not further open-ended law-enforcement measures. Rather than worrying about how and when we place individual terrorists on trial, Congress must place regimes who support terrorists “on trial,” declare them to be enemies of the United States, and demand their unconditional surrender as the objective of war. . . . [I]f we are to protect our liberty from an unlimited, ever-encroaching police-state–and from foreign enemies who would impose their own police state on us–nothing short of a clear, confident declaration of war will suffice.

Celebrity Big Brother 2012: Housemates chill in the hot tub and soak up the sun as they say being in Big Brother is like being on holiday
It's just one big holiday! Celebrities chill in the hot tub and soak up the sun as they say being in Big Brother is like being on vacation
With it's tears and tantrums and bitchy atmosphere, the Big Brother house can hardly be compared to a holiday home but that's exactly what the celebrities think of it as this year.
The famous group have spent a lot their time sunbathing and relaxing in the hot tub, and a few of them even suggested that it was 'like being on holiday.'
As Martin Kemp and Coleen Nolan went for a stroll together in the garden on Friday afternoon, the former EastEnders star said that being in the house was like being on a break.
Just chilling: Coleen Nolan said that being in the Big Brother house was 'like being on holiday'
This is the life! The male celebrities relaxed in the hot tub this afternoon
Coleen agreed and when one of her fellow housemates nominated her because they thought she was missing her husband and children, the brunette star shook her head, saying: 'I've never said that!'
The former singer donned a black and white spotted swimsuit as she chilled out near the hot tub today.
As she sat in the shade wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, Coleen even looked a little bit bored at one point but didn't seem to be complaining about doing nothing.
Actress Cheryl Fergison decided to take a dip in the swimming pool and also wore a black and white swimming costume.
Feeling bored Coleen looked happy to be sitting around doing nothing
Cooling down: Cheryl Fergison decided to take a dip in the swimming pool
As she chatted away to her fellow housemates, the mother-of-one appeared to be in a good mood and seemed to be getting on with everyone.
The male celebrities of the house dominated the hot tub this afternoon with MC Harvey, The Situation, Prince Lorenzo and Ashley all chilling in their together.
Martin and Julian opted against it and stayed put in the smoking area where they chatted with one another.
Perhaps their day of rest was the
calm before the storm as Big Brother was planning on giving The
Situation a rather interesting secret task.
Entitled
The Awkward Situation, the Jersey Shore star was told that he would
have just one hour to create six awkward situations.
Secret mission: The Situation was set a task that may upset a few of the celebrity housemates
The first one will see him make a 'hit on a female housemate,' and no doubt he will head straight to Danica to work his magic.
The second awkward moment will be when he has to hug a housemate of his choice for one minute.
The next part of his task is a little bit more specific and will see The Situation tell Martin that he thinks he has a body odour problem and then offer him some deodorant.
His fourth task of the hour will be to tell Julian that he doesn't like his make-up and to give him tips on how to improve it.
Awkward moment: The Situation was told that he would have to tell Martin Kemp that he has a body odour problem
The reality TV star will then have to use Julian's products to put make-up on himself and tell him how he thinks it should look.
Following this, The Situation has to approach former soap star Julie Goodyear and tell her that he thinks her breasts are fake.
And last but no least, he must speak to Ashley and tell him that he thinks judo is boring and is 'for p***ies.'
If The Situation manages to pull off all of these awkward moments, then all of the housemates will receive a sexy hot tub party hosted by him.
What an insult! He will also have to tell Julian Clary that he doesn't think his make-up looks good

Spirits in Bondage is C.S. Lewis’s first book and the first of his works to be available in the public domain.

Treasure Island is an adventure novel, a thrilling tale of buccaneers and buried gold.

Manager of the Year - Finalist
AMANDA LEECH – Westside United FC
A Manager’s job lasts year round. It never really ends. From helping to develop the budget to money collection; from registering for tournaments to taking pictures after the finals; from paying the referees to keeping the dads from trying to “teach the referees a thing or two”, Mandy does it all. She ties shoes and cleans scrapes, ices ankles and fetches water. She helps all of the team to become winners and better people every day through her daily actions. Mandy is the ”heart” of the team. She knows the players and their personalities and truly cares. She is encouraging and compassionate and no matter what the situation, Mandy is there to pick up the slack and sometimes the pieces.. to make the team whole again. She gives whatever she has in a sacrificial way. And she does it all with a smile and with her wonderful “Westside Green” style.
Volunteer of the Year - Finalist
DIANE BLACHA - Westside United FC
Diane is an asset to Westside United in everything that she does. She is the first to volunteer anytime something needs to be done, or to serve on committees. With the increase in teams that Westside United has enjoyed this past year, her registrar tasks have expanded as well. Diane handles all the registration with ease and professionalism. She is also constantly training new managers needing direction. Diane has served on the Westside United Tournament committee since its inception, handling the hotel and sponsorships along with other duties such as referee food coordination. She serves on the Executive Committee of the club as well. Diane never does these things for recognition. She just wants to make sure the job gets done, no matter what that job might be or what work it might entail. She is a wonderful volunteer.
Administrator of the Year
JOHN CASE – Westside United FC
John founded Westside United FC over 10 years ago. Those that know him know that he founded more than just a soccer club. He created more than just a place to house soccer activity. He created a place where kids are helping kids develop skills to become responsible, active and important parts of the community. John’s work ethic and pride come out in everything that he does – and he does this now even though he no longer has children playing soccer. As the current club Executive Director, John handles all the administrative work for the club, as well as maintaining three (3) playing sites for the teams to train and play. And that includes time on the tractor himself! He has helped develop a new fall tournament, brought in the club’s first Director of Coaching and is one of the reasons that the club has grown by 30% in the past two years. As important as the Westside team’s excellence on the field, more important is the man. John is a compassionate, understanding and a no nonsense person. He is a gentle man with a kind heart who is truly loyal to his club and to his community. He is committed to preserving the game of soccer and his love for the game is present in every aspect of his day to day duties. Almost anyone can learn to do administrative tasks… but the loyalty, commitment, passion and dedication to the club and the sport itself that John possesses cannot be taught.
WESTSIDE UNITED CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY

It is true that Galileo, Frankel, Dubawi, and co. take up most of the headlines in European racing, but Cheveley Park Stud’s 26-year-old Pivotal still knows how to grab a few headlines of his own. In some direct capacity, Pivotal featured prominently — either as sire, broodmare sire, or sire of the sire — in the pedigrees of five of the 29 individual winners at the Royal Ascot meeting.
Addeybb (dam by Kingmambo), a five-year-old Group 2 winner, won the Listed Wolferton Stakes on the meet’s opening day. He’s one of 149 stakes winners (8% to foals) sired by Pivotal, which includes 84 Group or Graded winners: 30 G1SWs, 14 G2SWs, and 40 G3SWs.
Soon, Pivotal will be represented by 100 stakes winners as a broodmare sire. He’s at 92 now, and his importance in that position of pedigrees was evident at Royal Ascot with Advertise (by Showcasing), winner of the G1 Commonwealth Cup; Raffle Prize (Slade Power), first in the G2 Queen Mary; and G2 Hardwicke winner Defoe (Dalakhani). Looking beyond Royal Ascot, Pivotal is damsire of 2019 English and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Hermosa (Galileo).
Farhh, a multiple Group 1-winning son of Pivotal standing at Dalham Hall Stud, is the sire of eight-furlong G2 Duke of Cambridge winner Move Swiftly (dam by Bertolini). Additionally, his son Dee Ex Bee (Seeking the Gold) placed second in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup, at a distance of two miles and four furlongs.
Farhh is just one of 10 sons of Pivotal to have sired at least one Group/Graded stakes winner: Captain Rio, Excellent Art, Falco, Kyllachy (whose Sole Power won back-to-back King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot), Salto, and leading French sire Siyouni (whose three classic winners from just five crops of 3yos include Sottsass, in 2019) have each sired G1SWs; Farhh, whose Dee Ex Bee was second in last year’s G1 Derby, and Buzzword have G2SWs; while Dragon Pulse and Windsor Knot have G3SWs. Lightning Spear, a G1 winner, has just completed his first season at stud, so there is every expectation that the Tweenhills stallion will add to his sire’s tally of Group-siring sons.
A son of Polar Falcon (Nureyev), who was a G1SW over six furlongs and a G2SW over a mile before retiring to Cheveley Park Stud in Newmarket — where he lives in the box of 1893 Triple Crown winner Isinglass — and the Cozzene mare Fearless Revival, Pivotal was brilliant, a pure sprinter for his owner/breeder. He broke his maiden going six furlongs but was more of a five-furlong specialist, undefeated in all three starts at the shorter distance and one-for-three with the extra furlong. Pivotal won the G1 Nunthorpe, giving both his trainer Sir Mark Prescott and sire Polar Falcon a first career win at that level, and Royal Ascot’s King’s Stand, which was a Group 2 at the time.
Pivotal in his paddock last June.
Despite such a strong inclination for the minimum distance on the racecourse, at stud, Pivotal is not typecast as a sire of sprinters. He has sired G1 winners from five furlongs (Kyllachy and Maarek) to 12 furlongs (Oaks and Irish Oaks winner Sariska; Deutsches Derby first Buzzword; and Avilius in Australia), with an 11-furlong German classic winner, too (Silvester Lady), and everything else in between. African Story (winner of the Dubai World Cup), Chorist, Farhh, Golden Apples, Halfway to Heaven, Izzi Top, Megahertz, Queen’s Jewel, Siyarafina (in 2019) each won at least one G1 race over 10 furlongs. He also gets excellent milers, such as classic winners Falco, Halfway to Heaven, Noordhoek Flyer (in South Africa), and Saoire; Royal Ascot winners Excellent Art and Immortal Verse; and Lightning Spear, Peeress, and Talco.
Pivotal is the ultimate feather in the cap of an operation like Cheveley Park Stud, as a homebred by its own stallion and produced from a homebred mare, winner of a Group 1 in the stud’s silks, retired to stand alongside his sire, and rewarding them year after year with quality horses. He covered mares for £6,000 during his first two seasons, dropping to £5,000 in his third through fifth years and peaking at £85,000. He remains an active stallion, and among the eight other active stallions currently at Cheveley Park are G1SWs Mayson (dam by Pivotal); Twilight Son (by pensioned CPS sire Kyllachy, by Pivotal); winner of Royal Ascot’s G1 Diamond Jubilee; and Garswood (dam by Kyllachy).

UAlbany dorm catches fire in early morning

ASP_Editor / February 23, 2016 / 0
By Russell J. Oliver
Late last night the University Police Department responded to a fire which took place in Oneida Hall on Indian Quad and was started by an unattended candle, according to the Times Union.
Students awoke when the automatic security sprinklers doused them awake around 12:45 a.m. The fire was active on the third floor of the building and was contained to a single room. Fire personal responded fast and the fire was extinguished by 1:10 a.m.
Only one student suffered from minor injuries and was taken to Albany Medical Center for treatment. Some 120 students had to be evacuated from the building because of the fire damage left the main campus building unlivable. Resident Life is arranging temporary living conditions for these students, as well as providing support and assisting the students in whatever they need.
According to the Times Union, students were back in their room by noon today, except for the suite where the fire was started. The University Police Department were not immediately available for comment.

Luis Miret, Noted Cuban Gallerist, Dies at 58
By Alex Greenberger Posted 05/15/17 1:38 pm
Miret.
COURTESY SEAN KELLY
Luis Miret, the longtime director of Galería Habana, which revolutionized Cuba’s contemporary-art scene, died on May 11. He was 58.
As director of Galería Habana, Miret oversaw one of Havana’s few contemporary-art spaces and actively promoted a vibrant Cuban art scene. Among the artists currently on Galería Habana’s roster are Alexandre Arrechea and Ivan Capote.
Miret was also director of Cuba’s Department of International Relations of the National Council of Visual Arts and the Department of Economics at the Fondo Cubano de Bienes Culturales.
A statement from Sean Kelly gallery announcing the news today reads: “Luis Miret will be profoundly missed by many who care about art and artists in Cuba, but his legacy is sure to endure.”
Correction 5/15/17, 3:23 p.m.: An earlier version of this article misstated the date of Miret's death. He died on May 11, not May 14. The post has been updated to reflect this.

AFC Fylde vs Sutton United
Sat 1st December 2018
Score: 2 - 2
AFC Fylde 2-2 Sutton United Att: 1401 (73 away)
Bond 36′ Toure 81’ – Pearce 74’ Cadogan 88’
A late Kieran Cadogan goal cancelled out Game Toure’s 81st minute strike, offering the team’s a point a piece on a wet day at Mill Farm.
The Coasters made one change, as Arthur Gnahoua had done enough to impress his manager following his goal at Hartlepool in the week, taking Gime Toure’s place.
Captain Lewis Montrose made his first matchday squad of the season, earning a spot on the bench following a lengthy lay-off.
The U’s handed academy player Bradley Pearce his debut, whilst Taylor and Brown were also recalled to the side having only made the bench at Braintree Town.
The opening exchanges had the lively Nick Haughton seeing plenty of the ball, in the 19th minute drawing in the defender in, before whipping a delightful effort across goal.
It was palmed away by Butler into the path of Andy Bond, but his first-time effort somehow evaded the target from close-range.
Just five minutes later, it was Butler versus Bond again. After good work from Francis-Angol on the left, Philliskirk’s effort was blocked into the path of Bond, but his attempt was quickly denied by the onrushing Sutton goalkeeper.
A great passage of play followed for the Coasters, as Danny Rowe’s cleverly disguised pass to Bond opened up the Sutton defence.
They recovered, only for the ball to be played back into the path of Danny Rowe, who couldn’t quite find the angle to get his shot away and make The U’s pay for their lapse of concentration.
It took until the 36th minute for the deadlock to be broken, in part thanks to the resilient work of Nick Haughton.
His incisive breakaway eventually landed in Bond’s path, who was more than happy to make amends this time, powering it past Butler and putting the Coasters ahead.
This allowed Fylde to play with more freedom, with Croasdale firing a powerful effort goalwards which just flew wide.
Nick Haughton’s was then at the heart of the Coasters next key chance, when a wonderful effort from distance thundered off of the crossbar and back into play.
It was a moment of pure quality from the Coasters playmaker, as Haughton beat his man, forging his own space before wrapping his foot around the ball, but the woodwork denied him his first Coasters goal.
The second half saw a resurgent Sutton side emerge, with Thomas-Asante spearheading attacks from the early stages.
Wayne Brown was the first to test the Coasters defence after the break, with his long-range effort working Jay Lynch early on.
Craig Eastmond then sent a low curling effort goalwards just before the hour mark, which Lynch was equal to, before Thomas-Asante’s rebound went harmlessly over.
In the 74th minute, however, it fell to Sutton United’s academy graduate Bradley Pearce who, making his first-team debut, equalised with a tidy finish.
A short corner played into Josh Taylor wasn’t dealt with and came bouncing into Pearce’s path, catching it sweetly and nestling it into the corner.
Sutton could have taken the lead almost immediately after this too, as an under-hit backpass from Burke played in the prowling Asante.
Jay Lynch was quick off his line however, doing enough to force his efforts wide.
The Sutton bench appealed for a penalty, and with fair reasoning given the strong nature of his save, but referee Martin Woods wasn’t convinced.
This acted as something of a wake-up call for Fylde, and an inspired move from substitute Gime Toure saw him glide in from the left wing, before curling the ball beyond Butler from the corner of the box.
It capped off an exciting introduction to the game for Toure, who had found himself in pockets of space repeatedly with clever touches, linking up nicely with Danny Rowe.
The Coasters weren’t able to hold on to the lead, however, and Sutton United introduced their own substitution to make a difference in the shape of Kieron Cadogan.
Jamie Collins sent a long ball into the box, which Aswad Thomas managed to head into the path of Cadogan who caught the ball sweetly, sending the travelling fans into a deafening roar with his astute finish.
Fylde were hopeful of more Mill Farm late drama, and Hemmings came off the bench full of energy, trying to take the full Sutton United team on late into injury time.
He worked the ball wide, but Sutton were resolute, and before long the whistle had gone, with The U’s heading back to the capital with a hard-fought point.
“It was never going to be a great game, conditions were difficult, and a game that probably suited them more than us in terms of the style,” said Coasters Manager Dave Challinor to the club’s media team.
“But the first half we’ve scored one, despite two one-on-ones and hitting the crossbar without us being great.”
“I said at half-time that, if technically we aren’t great, then the other parts of the game have to be spot on, in terms of physicality and concentration.”
“The goals are a carbon copy of each other, going through a string of bodies, and it’s disappointing – you can’t be needing three goals to win a game.”
“If we’re going to be contenders rather than pretenders, then it’s these games you need to win.”
Jay Lynch, Zaine Francis-Angol, Neil Byrne (c), Jordan Tunnicliffe, Luke Burke (Hemmings 90’); Andy Bond, Ryan Croasdale, Danny Philliskirk; Arthur Gnahoua (Toure 65’), Danny Rowe; Nick Haughton (Brewit 83’)

MARTY OBEY
Captivating lyrical flow and a satin-toned delivery: Over glossy urban grooves, vocalist, songwriter and rapper Marty Obey delivers free-flowing songs of sensuous adventure. The subjects set the stage; love for the ladies, certainly, but also respect for family and encouragement for everyone in his extended community to strive to be the best possible versions of themselves.
Establishing his reputation through collaborations with a roster of artists that includes Baby Bash, E40 and Iamsu, Marty is now highlighted in his new solo work for BashTown Music, in conjunction with Silent Giant Entertainment. The alchemy of his music reverberates from the tough neighborhoods of his Northern California base to the high profile concerts and festivals where he now commands center stage.
Growing up in a blended family of 10 siblings, Marty discovered that academic achievement could make him stand out. A move from his hometown of Vallejo, California to Vacaville dropped him into a school that he recalls as “white and smart,” but family conflict sent him back to Vallejo to live with his grandparents and into an environment that was far edgier. “Kids in the back of the classroom smoking weed and talking back to the teacher,” he says. As a diligent student during the day and a McDonald’s worker at night, Marty was too busy for trouble.
From second grade on, poetry and the spoken word had intrigued him. By fifth grade he was writing lyrics. The church offered a platform for his emerging musical aspirations as a singer and a rapper. His step dad worked nights, so silence in the house was the rule. Marty stayed in his room and wrote lyrics.
Graduating from high school with 4.0 grades he enrolled in college. A marriage at 19 and a divorce one year later determined a different course. He considered joining the Navy, but a family friend who had achieved an international notoriety as a recording artist interceded – local Vallejo hero Baby Bash. “He flew me to Los Angeles to hang with him and Kid Frost,” Marty recalls. “Then we went to Houston, and traveled between Texas and the Bay area..” He saw how the hard-touring Baby Bash could expand his career with a full calendar of concert dates. “I perform, sing, and write songs with him. It seems like every week something pops up. It’s like touring all year long.”
With Italian, French, Greek and Irish ancestry in the mix, Marty relates most strongly to his Guamanian roots. “I’m a cultured individual,” he notes. “But as a young man, I need to see and find out things for myself, and to question authority. I love music but I live for humanity. I wish everyone could get on that.”

Halloween Tips for Safe, Fun and Conservative Trick-or-Treating
Posted by BC Bass on Saturday, October 31, 2015 in Community News halloween holidays safety | Comments : 0
SAN NARCISO, Calif. (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- Halloween should be a spooky, thrilling and safe holiday event for children in San Narciso County. For that reason, the San Narciso Police Department is warning residents that continuing illicit Halloween traditions can be dangerous and may result in jail time. Some residents, as part of celebrating All Hallow’s Eve, have been engaging in dangerous behaviors that include “hogging,” hamster juggling (a no-tolerance offense) and the reprehensible creation of “jack-ov-lanterns” -- a sick practice started two years ago by Russian exchange students that involves bodily defiling pumpkins, which will be considered not only a biohazard but a flagrant act of terrorism. Following is a complete list of Do’s and Don’ts to ensure that you and yours have the best Halloween ever!
Don’t: Hogging
”Hogging is degrading and awful,” said Mayor Manny DiPresso. “Apparently, it involves popular boys courting and then mating with heavy-set young women in the community. I hear it ends with a gift of pearls, which seems extraordinarily lavish, but I find the ritual degrading nonetheless. It needs to stop. My daughter still refuses to attend Halloween parties as a result. And I have, to date, not seen her with pearls. No necklaces, no earrings. So I think this ‘hogging’ thing is more treacherous and disingenuous than it appears on the surface.”
Do: Toilet Paper Homes with Clean Tissue
The mayor would also like teens to know that toilet-papering a house -- a prank we’ve admittedly all pulled at one time or another -- was never meant to include used tissue.
Don’t: Hamster Juggling
Hamster juggling, say authorities, is one of the most egregious offenses in the county during this time of year. It violates animal cruelty laws and poses unseen dangers. When, at the end of the juggling, the hamsters are discharged into the air from pneumatic “potato guns,” they can generate a velocity of 100 feet-per-second during their descent. The force of the impact, along with the hamster’s erratic self-defensive behavior, can seriously injure or kill unsuspecting passersby.
Don’t: Indiscriminate Gunfire
In certain outlying areas of San Narciso County -- the ownership of which San Narciso continues to dispute with Los Angeles and other municipalities -- indiscriminate gunfire sometimes occurs, with revelers shooting their weapons into the air. A bullet can climb two miles and remain in flight for more than a minute. As it falls, the bullet can reach a velocity of 300 to 700 feet-per-second, making it seven times more lethal than a hamster.
“Fortunately, these problems generally affect other Southern California communities like LA and Anaheim and Long Beach,” SNPD spokesperson Sgt. Ren Williams said. “Also places like Hollister, where life is cheap and relatively pointless.”
He also advised the responsible gun owners in the county to exercise particular caution before unholstering their weapons in the presence of suspicious or threatening persons on Halloween night.
“Although we in San Narciso cherish our Second Amendment freedoms above all other rights, it may be wise to leave guns in their safes on Friday,” Williams warned. “It’s an evening of scary costumes, eerie disguises, theatrical makeup and intoxicated neighbors. Just remember, before pulling the trigger to put down a walking corpse with a clean headshot, that stumbling zombie is most likely the frazzled housewife next door, strung out on Vicodin, Nembutal, cheap red wine from Trader Joe’s and a pack of Virginia Slims menthols.”
Don’t: Fudge Bags
In the past, Mayor DiPresso had prematurely endorsed the distribution of “fudge bags,” items he initially considered an altruistic gesture of goodwill by residents in Bennington Vale. Aides have since explained the practice, which involves retribution against neighbors who refuse to curb their dogs rather than handing out homemade candies. Although the mayor’s office condemns the failure of pet owners to clean up after their animals, its official stance is that fudge bags, when fully executed, present an unnecessary fire hazard.
“If you feel so compelled as to teach irresponsible pet owners a lesson, please refrain from setting the contents of the packages on fire,” Mayor DiPresso urged.
Do: Request Voter ID from Children Outside the County
It’s become a common practice for families in less privileged areas, such as North Viaduct, to bus their children into our exclusive communities for higher-end treats. You are completely within your rights to demand the trick-or-treater’s ID and question the child about political affiliations or candidates supported. If the answers lean heavily to the political left, or outwardly champion the Democratic Party, refuse to serve the child and contact local authorities immediately.
Don’t: Adultery and Grown-Up Costume Parties
There’s an old expression: “It’s not cheating if you’re wearing a costume.” This unfortunate adage has, in practice, overrun the county’s court system with divorce filings in years past. Although our officials can’t dictate codes of behavior or moral conduct, they remind adults that wearing a costume does not exonerate a person from the repercussions of extramarital affairs that may occur at drunken Halloween parties. They suggest the following revision: “It’s still cheating if you’re wearing a costume, but not if you’re wearing a mask.”
Don’t: Attempt to Frighten Police Officers
San Narciso Police will be out in force beginning at dusk on Friday, October 31, and will take aggressive enforcement action against violators. “We are committed to protecting the lives of the little ghosts and goblins who will be out trick-or-treating,” Sgt. Williams reiterated. “For that reason, and because adrenaline and tensions will be running higher, citizens should refrain from any attempts to scare our personnel. By way of example, if your costume this year is an unarmed black teenager, think twice before approaching a uniformed police officer or making any sudden, suspicious movements -- like waving to friends, opening doors or walking anywhere other than well-lit sidewalks.”

USA|2018|100min |Korean Premiere |
After a man is left paralyzed with her wife killed in a brutal attack, he is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experiment that will “upgrade” his body, giving him unlimited physical abilities and enabling him to claim relentless vengeance.
The future. Trace restores vintage cars for wealthy clients. One night, his wife’s self-driving car malfunctions and crashes in a shady inner-city area, where they are attacked by a gang of savage killers. She dies and he becomes paraplegic. A young tech mogul offers him a new life with an experimental A.I. implant Stem, which allows him to move again. Also, much to Trace’s surprise, Stem comes with the voice in his head. Upgrade is the latest film by Leigh Whannel, known for Insidious & Saw enterprises. The film is a relatively straight forward vigilante movie, with Stem taking over Trace’s body to show off impressive skills enabling him to hunt down the killers. However, Trace realizes such comes with certain moral sacrifices and the consequences. A solidly entertaining film with considerably more gore than you typically see in cyberpunk and dystopian science fiction… it is a Blumhouse production after all. (Jongsuk Thomas NAM)
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Leigh Whanneel began his career as an actor, the co-creator of SAW II (2005), studied film at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He met filmmaker James Wan and they started developing ideas together, including SAW (2004).

Community voices: North Hawaiʽi non-profits / Special to North Hawaii News / October 2015
NKCRC's office and welcome center.
Like a voyaging canoe, our island’s spirit fosters lokahi (unity) and it is this spirit that has created the broad network of non-profit organizations (NPO) in North Hawaiʽi. Currently 166 strong, NPOs cover a wide range of projects geared towards creating thriving healthy communities by providing programs to connect with and perpetuate indigenous culture; that enrich educational experiences; and promote the health and wellness of both people and the environment.
The relationship between the NPOs of North Hawaiʽi and the communities they serve can be likened to that of a skilled gardener to a thriving garden. The aware gardener lets the garden speak and then responds by creating the necessary conditions for growth. This is at the heart of NPO umbrella organizations such as the Kohala Center, Friends of the Future (FOF) and North Kohala Community Resource Center (NKCRC). “We don't tell the community what it needs. The community comes to us and tells us what they think they need,” says Christina Richardson, NKCRC’s executive director.
Friends of the Future is located above Tutu's House
The Island Difference
Mainland communities with a broader tax base fill many of the needs that are answered by North Hawaiʽi NPOs. “We fulfill a lot of service roles that on the mainland or other parts of the world would be fulfilled by either municipal governments, health departments or parks and recreation. Non-profits take on a lot of functions here that would ordinarily be provided by a different structure,” says Susan Maddox, FOF’s executive director.
Primary to how NPOs of North Hawaiʽi operate is acknowledging community intelligence. The FOF began in 1991, inspired by its founder Kenneth Francis Brown, great grandson of John Papa I’i, advisor to King Kamehameha IV. For Brown, community health had a broad definition and was based in ancient Hawaiian knowledge systems and practices.
“Kenneth Brown felt that the community can best determine what they need for health and wellness. The foundation of FOF came about from a series of conversations [Brown had] over the years to see what kinds of ideas might bubble up about community health,” says Maddox.
Tutu’s House is FOF’s longest running program and has served as an educational, health and wellness resource since 1994. Other programs include the areas of cultural preservation through oral histories with Hui Kuapa; conservation and agriculture with the Waipiʽo Valley Community Circle; and education with the Hawaiʽi Island Leadership Series, Earl’s Garage and Baby Steps.

The Kohala Center, which began in 2000, was based on a community health survey that asked: What would make us a happier, healthier community? “Public health folks went out to the community in and around Waimea and despite all the dreadful problems we struggle with (diabetes, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence), people didn't ask for more social services, they asked for social change,” says Matt Hamabata, recently retired director of the Kohala Center. “We didn't need money. It just needed a change of perspective. It's about valuing ourselves as local people,” he adds.
The Kohala Center now has eight areas of support including educational programs such as the Malaʽai Culinary Garden and Hawaii Island School Garden Network; agriculture with the Beginning Farmer Rancher Development Program and Hawaii Public Seed Initiative; and conservation with the Kohala Watershed Partnership and the Kahaluʽu Bay Education Center.

Hui: Come Together, Make Connections
Many hard working people, infused with the spirit of Aloha, have come together to create the umbrella organizations that facilitate the plethora of NPOs in North Hawaii. The North Kohala Community Resource Center was born from the vision of an umbrella organization that would serve all aspects of North Kohala community life, that Bob Martin shared with a group of concerned residents whose “hearts were in the community”. The NKCRC now has an array of programs under their umbrella that includes agriculture, conservation, education and cultural preservation.
“We have helped put music, art and yoga in the public schools. We've got some great equine programs that we do including Lio Lapaʽau and the Kohala Equine Education Center. They're all about preserving the paniolo culture, making sure the kids can learn to ride and to understand how important horses are in our history, our story,” says Richardson.
Friends of the Future’s Executive Director Susan Maddox
North Hawaiʽi NPOs also advocate for communities by creating bridges between community voices and broader social contexts. “One of the things that is so exciting to me about The Kohala Center is that all of our staff, our board, recognize community intelligence and tap into it, foster it and connect it with the best institutions on this island, in the state and nationally,” says Hamabata.
But it’s not just about seeking grant monies. Beyond finding funding, it’s seeing points of connection that tap into community expertise and knowledge that make North Hawaiʽi NPOs effective beyond all expectations. “Non-profits tend to work together and network, creating something larger than any one (NPO) could individually. And in the FOF’s case, a number of programs that have come through have found interesting connections between themselves that wouldn't have necessarily happened if each of those programs were its own independent 501 c3,” Maddox says.
North Hawaiʽi NPOs have attracted notice outside the island community. “I have funders on Oʽahu now who come to talk to me about going to other small typical communities like this in the state and teach them how to create a non-profit,” says Richardson.
On the world stage, Kohala Center’s new Executive Director Kamana Beamer has entered the international arena. “He's just created a research agreement with the food and agriculture organization of the U.N. and has already been to Rome and Bogota,” says Hamabata.
It seems that the ancestral spirit of the land has spoken through the island communities, and the North Hawaii NPOs have listened and responded. “The Hawaiians have always thrived at the intersection of human and natural systems. So if we put those two things together, the island planet and this fantastic knowledge system about how to live well in kinship with nature, we can become a model for the world,” Hamabata concludes.

Costa Cruises Signs Up to the "Genoa Blue Agreement" for the Ports of Genoa and Savona
By signing up to the new rules, which require marine gasoil with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.10% by mass to be used before entering the ports of Savona and Genoa, Costa Cruises is confirming a commitment it made voluntarily some years ago on its ships.
Genoa, July 12, 2019 – Costa Cruises has signed the "Genoa Blue Agreement" promoted by the Genoa and Savona Coast Guard Offices. The document requires ships to use marine gasoil with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.10% by mass before entering the ports of Savona and Genoa, and not only while the ship is moored as required by current legislation.
"By signing up to the "Genoa Blue Agreement" protocol today, we have further strengthened our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our ships. The commitment enshrined in the protocol today is one that Costa made voluntarily some years ago, as usual pre-empting future regulations. We are also pleased to see that other shipping companies and other maritime sectors have also signed up to this commitment, which will further benefit the communities we visit daily" – says Neil Palomba, President of Costa Cruises.
The "Genoa Blue Agreement" also reiterates the effectiveness of exhaust gas cleaning systems. In fact, where these systems are used -at the same distances and time requested for the change of marine fuels - the rules introduced are considered to be fully respected. At the moment, over 70% of ships in the Costa fleet are already equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems called "Advanced Air Quality Systems", which ensure the almost complete removal of sulfur oxides, a 75% reduction of particulates and a significant reduction of nitrogen oxides.
Signing up to the "Genoa Blue Agreement" is a further step on the sustainable growth journey undertaken by Costa Cruises in Genoa, Savona and Liguria, which has increasingly strengthened the link between the Italian company and its birthplace.
Since the end of March, Costa Fortuna, one of the ships in the Costa fleet, has returned to docking regularly in the port of Genoa, where it expects to handle 170,000 passengers in 2019. Costa Cruises has already confirmed that Costa Pacifica will be docking in Genoa in 2020 instead of Costa Fortuna. During calls at Genoa, Costa Fortuna offers guests as many as nine new excursions, which contribute to promoting the city and its surroundings even more. In total, the Costa Group will guarantee the Liguria region 243 calls in 2019, equivalent to around 1,200,000 passengers handled. Savona is currently Costa's main port in the world. The company and the the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority are making significant investments in preparation for the arrival of Costa Smeralda, Costa's first ship fueled by LNG. The total investments amount to more than 20 million euros. The work is not however compromising the operation of the port, where 164 calls are expected in 2019, with 750,000 passenger movements.
In La Spezia, Costa Cruises, together with other companies, has won the contract to manage the port's cruise services, which includes the construction of a new cruise terminal. In 2019, Costa Group ships will make 50 calls at the port of La Spezia, including 29 calls by AIDAnova, the new flagship operated by AIDA Cruises, a German company owned by the Costa Group, where it expects to handle 250,000 passenger movements.
As a further demonstration of Costa's commitment to the local area, the Costa Crociere Foundation and the Municipality of Genoa have submitted a plan for a new community center open to all the residents of the Certosa district of Genoa. The center, which measures 530 sq.m and includes large external spaces, will occupy the first floor of a building owned by the Municipality at Via Borsieri 11, a short walk from the Brin subway station. The renovation work is due to start by the end of August, with the aim of creating an innovative and appealing multifunctional space, also thanks to the involvement of local associations and institutions interested in carrying out activities in favor of the communities of Certosa. The Costa Crociere Foundation will initially invest at least 330,000 euros in the project, resulting from the "Insieme per Genova" (Together for Genoa) fundraising campaign in favor of the city, in which the company involved all its guests and partners.

Deception Road Takes Viewers on a Thrill Ride
(NewsUSA) - What do you get when you combine the acting chops of Thomas Haden Church (Sideways, Spiderman 3, Divorce), Alice Eve (Before We Go, She's Out of My League), and Finn Wittrock (La La Land,The Big Short, Unbroken, American Horror Story) with a twisted tale of deceit, passion, and dark humor?
Deception Road, an upcoming film set for production in the summer of 2019.
The story gets rolling when the character of Oscar (Wittrock) is traveling through the American Southwest. He hitches a ride with haunted war veteran Hal (Church), but all is not as it seems, and a simple car ride is only the beginning of a complex and mysterious journey. Instead, Oscar finds himself in the middle of a game of cat and mouse with Hal, his lovely, young wife, Jessie, and the situation goes from bizarre to dangerous, but with a dose of dark comedy. The cast is rounded out by newcomer Jack Tynan.
The film is being produced by Wild Invention Pictures along with George Parra and Michael Goodin. It will be shot on location in Utah, where the stark, stunning landscape serves as an ideal background for the mystery and danger that unfold. The screenplay was written by Dallas Mitchell Brennan and and the film will be directed by Max Mayer, whose credits include Adam and As Cool as I Am.
"I look forward with great joy to working with such a dynamically gifted team to tell a story I find so darkly funny, compelling, and emotionally truthful," says Mayer.
The film will be distributed domestically by Smith Global Media, headed by CEO Harry Smith.
"The Smith Global team is excited to have acquired the domestic distribution rights to Deception Road. This quirky thriller will entertain diverse audiences and the wonderful cast is bound to deliver exceptional performances," says Smith.
The film is financed by executive producer Neil Shroff and has an excellent shot at artistic and commercial success based on its combination of stellar acting and tight plot. Early analytics suggest that it will be popular with a large range of audiences, which makes the film a great opportunity for investors.
Investment opportunities are available at deceptionroadmovie.com.
"We are excited to bring this film from script to screen as it has the potential to become an enduring classic working with Max Mayer and this talented production team and cast," says Brennan.

More from the downtown Encinitas area, and Pacific Station:
Developed by Cardiff-based John DeWald & Associates, in conjunction with Phase 3 Properties, Inc. and Fidelity Investments, Pacific Station is a mixed-use, transit-oriented, redevelopment project being constructed on a 1.4-acre site at 687 South Coast Highway 101, near the transit station and City Hall, in the heart of the downtown Encinitas.
Conceived as a “green” development featuring many innovative, environmentally responsible design features, Pacific Station will offer approximately 40,000 square feet of prime retail space, including the Whole Foods Market as anchor tenant, a restaurant, small shops, some 9,000 square feet of professional office space, and 47 upscale residential lofts, town home condominiums, and flats — all constructed over two floors of underground parking to accommodate 249 vehicles. Site grading and utility work has commenced, with completion of the project scheduled for late 2009/early 2010.

Here’s a youtube tour of a few more Encinitas houses on the foreclosure rolls.
The first clip looks like it was an A.I.T.D., an all-inclusive trust deed – also known as a wrap-around mortgage. It was advertised on the MLS as a no money down deal, where the seller’s mortgage stays in place, but not assumed. The seller collects payments higher than what he owes, skimming a little interest for the remaining $400,000 extra owed on top of the loan balance, in this case.
But when the buyer quits making payments, he still has possession and occupancy, but the seller is responsible for the loan. These are a glorified lease-option, with more burden on the sellers. Here is an example of the math: Example of a Wrap

by Jim the Realtor | Jun 2, 2010 | F-List, Jim TV, North County Coastal, Thinking of Buying? | 5 comments
Mozart reminded us yesterday of his upbeat outlook dating back to last May, and a search of the records found this quote, from May 19, 2009:
“Like it or not, things are getting better. Home prices and incomes are balanced. Things are still tough but stability is great news. Extremely well qualified buyers are now the norm. We’ll piddle along for the rest of the year. Substantial price gains are a ways out but this grind along the bottom is over.” Mozart.
The foreclosure list seems a bit stagnant though, and the only properties getting foreclosed are those that the ‘owners’ really don’t want, mostly due to underwater-ness:
CV f-list NOD/NOT/REO Total
Nov ’08 39/20/30 89
May ’09 93/63/15 171
Jun ’10 76/94/36 206
The list keeps growing, but not over-flowing. The worst of it for buyers are the distressed houses that do make it to market tend to be those in bad condition, funky floor plans, or inferior locations – and about half of today’s list are condos. But if the number on the list stays moderated, and the loan mods stick, we’ll be piddlin’ for a while longer. Here’s an example:

Bainimarama tells Commonwealth envoy no early elections
Fiji's interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has told the Commonwealth's Special Envoy to Fiji, Sir Paul Reeves of the government’s intention to restoring Parliamentary Democracy in the country by 2014.
Bainimarama was accompanied to the meeting by senior Cabinet Ministers, Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Civil Aviation, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola, Minister for Education, Filipe Bole and Minister for Defence, National security and Immigration Ratu Epeli Ganilau.
Bainimarama welcomed Sir Paul Reeves’s delegation and explained that his stand has not changed from the July 1st announcement on Fiji’s Strategic Framework of Change and Roadmap to Parliamentary Democracy.
He said their intention was to continue with the reforms first before elections in 2014. In fact the focus was really on development and reforms until 2012 when work on the Constitution begins.
Bainimarama further explained that his Government was determined to usher in the new changes and reshape the nation towards a destiny of peace, prosperity without raced based policies and politics.
He also said that Government wanted to reshape peoples perception and remove the legacy of previous administrations and colonial hangovers.
On whether the Government will continue with the Political party Dialogue, Commodore Bainimarama said they will resume with the initiative in due time.
Sir Paul Reeves replied that their visit to Fiji was of noble intention and really to continue in dialogue.
Sir Paul is expected to meet with Representatives of Fiji Employers Federation and Fiji Chamber of Commerce and Senior Members of USP and FIT Academic Staff.
Fiji Democracy Now said...
Why did Frank bother to beg the Commonwealth to come and talk to him and then refuse to listen to anything they say while also denying them the opportunity to listen to anyone but hand-picked lackeys of his choosing?
A sharper mind than Frank's would see where this is heading. This is exactly how he managed to alienate the European Community and throw away $350 million in aid needed desperately to try to save our sugar industry.
Can understand the Sugar industry going broke in a reccesion (depressed prices) - but you gotta admit it takes a unique style to do it during a boom (record world prices).
What a bunch of dumbos!

Gov. Newsom’s Proposed Budget Hailed for Extensive Funding Increases
csudhbulletin February 7, 2019 0 COMMENTS
By Alex Graf
California State University, Dominguez Hills may see its currently closed theater and pool re-open, more tenure-track faculty and classes added, and increased resources for food insecure and homeless students. At least that’s the hope from newly elected California Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2019-20 state budget, which he unveiled on Jan. 10.
If approved by the state legislature, the budget would increase annual CSU funding by $300 million in the 2019-20 fiscal year, an 8 percent increase from last year; allocate a one-time expenditure of $247 million for deferred maintenance on the CSU’s 23 campuses along with expanding on-campus child care centers; and includes another one-time infusion of $15 million to help address student hunger and housing needs.
“I am as excited as I have been in a decade about the budget this governor has proposed,” CSUDH President Thomas Parham said, mentioning the deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed on this campus, as well as the need for locker rooms for our athletic teams.
“But we also have got to be able to attend to the need of the academic and instructional elements of the campus,” Parham added. “For us that means increasing tenure density and we’ve got to improve [our] support programs for our students.”
In a move aimed at addressing the growing cost of higher education, Newsom’s budget would make the second year of community college tuition-free and the new funding for the CSU is predicated on a tuition freeze for 2019.
“You heard me correctly: tuition is off the table,” CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White said at the Jan. 22-23 CSU Board of Trustees meeting.
Students for Quality Education representative Kat Romo said she had to sell personal belongings to pay for community college after she graduated high school in 2009.
“I honestly wish this would have happened when I graduated, Romo said. “I had a gold bracelet that I sold and I had to sell my high school graduation ring.”
Dr. Vivian Price, a California Faculty Association representative and interdisciplinary studies professor at CSUDH, said the CFA is asking that funding be used to hire more tenure track faculty, create more classes and more sections, and to help homeless students and increase access to students who have been turned away from the CSU in the past. Price said the CFA is also asking that $20 million be used for mental health counseling services for students.
“Counseling is critical to ensuring stressed-out students have a place to go to deal with the emotion of living in today’s economy,” Price said.
While the new budget has not yet been approved by the state legislature, CSUDH political science professor Salvatore Russo anticipates it will move through the legislature “quickly” and said Governor Newsom is in a “favorable situation” with “overwhelming” Democratic majorities in both branches of the state legislature.
“It’s really just based on the political will of Democrats in the legislature,” Russo said. “Democrats and Newsom would probably like this to hang their hats on.”

Maximum Ride vs Dark Angel
All things which do not fit into other areas.
by gtf_dean_fenech » Sun 10. May 2009, 11:54
I was browsing around and I found this book series called Maximum Ride, science fiction/fantasy series written by the award-winning American author, James Patterson, starting from April 19, 2005 and continuing to the present. There are currently five titles in the Maximum Ride series, the latest one was released on March 16, 2009.
The over-all plot follows six rebels on the run from a labratory they call the "School". The oldest is Maximum Ride(Max) who is 14 and the leader. The 6 children genetically cross-bred with avian DNA, complete with wings, take flight cross-country to discover their origins. Together,they make up a flock and they must run from the second and only other school experiment to make it past infancy besides themselves: Erasers. They are part human and part wolf and can change at will into either form. The most famous Eraser, Ari is the Flocks sworn enemy and head of the project.
The books have also been transl;ated into a Manga and in January 2007, it was announced that a film would be created based on the Maximum Ride series. The movie is scheduled for a 2010 release date.
I found many dark angel similarities in these books:
"genetic experiments on teenagers? Check. Main girl named Max? Check. On the run from the scientist that created them? Check. Now, I used to love Dark Angel for the first season, then the second season got a little strange as they tried to explain too much. Actually, by the third Maximum Ride book, I was beginning to feel like they were trying to add too many layers as well. Anyways, I digress; Dark Angel entertained me, and I highly recommend it as a mindless distraction. The whole first season is basically, “Look, Max is sexy and kick ass! Look, Logan is sexy and smart!†and some days, you just need that in your life."

Has anyone read it?

by trbochrgd » Fri 22. May 2009, 04:12
As a matter of fact, James Patterson released his first in the Max series in 1998. It's the adult version titled "When the Wind Blows". Maximum and 5 companions escape the School.
James Cameron seems to have taken the idea from Patterson, and not the other way around. I read the Patterson series' (both, but started with "When the Wind Blows", which is nearly a prequel to the "Maximum Ride" series) and found out about "Dark Angel" through a friend who remembered the series when I was describing "When the Wind Blows" to her.

wow, ok, thats an eye opener, didn't know that. could be. Cameron was accused of getting inspired by a number of other shows and stuff. But i remember that i also was doing a comic about a teenage boy that was genetically engeniered to be a soldier by the government then escaped and i hadn't watched or heard of DA, so may be great minds think alike.
by Allison Lightning » Fri 22. May 2009, 14:36
Seriously same idea area but they aren't that alike the original novels don't feel anything like Dark Angel... not only that but they are very over written and it just feels like they are missing a heart.
Max/ red lasers ( which has been used to death)- every idea starts as a new take on a cliche storyline... it's where it's taken.
They are two very different stories.
And the new one- could be considered DA styled among others (a revamp of Max's character in the least) and Patterson had something going I just think he started to lose it lately.
" When you think you see me I'm not there because you left me behind"
An alternate ending for AJBAC, all because of one thing, Logan is captured by Manticore while Max got away. Inside of Manticore, struggling to hold onto his sanity, his identity, Logan has nowhere to hide. Will he survive to escape, or will Lydecker destroy him first?

South Korea pin World Cup hopes on star man Son
Seoul: South Korea will need their talisman Son Heung-min to bring his sparkling English Premier League form to the World Cup if they are to survive a devilishly tricky group.
The Koreans crashed out in the first round of the 2014 tournament in Brazil and have their work cut out to avoid the same fate in Russia, where they have been drawn alongside holders Germany, Sweden and Mexico.
But they boast genuine star quality in snake-hipped Tottenham attacker Son, who lit up the Premier League this season, helping Spurs finish third and secure a UEFA Champions League place.
One of the best players to emerge from Asia, the 25-year-old scored 18 goals in all competitions in a brilliant campaign with the London club and once again carries the hopes of a nation heading into the World Cup.
South Korea made history with their astonishing run to the 2002 World Cup semi-finals but the current crop of players have struggled to hit those heights -- or come anywhere close.
Son almost single-handedly led the Taeguk Warriors to the Asian Cup final in 2015, where they lost to hosts Australia, but his eye-catching performances earned him a move from German club Bayer Leverkusen to Spurs, where the mercurial forward has been a big hit with supporters.
Son will be desperate to deliver for his legions of fans in South Korea and has the weapons to pose a serious threat to Sweden in their World Cup opener on June 18.
The Koreans realistically also need to take points from Mexico with world champions Germany awaiting them in their final Group F fixture in Kazan.
Pelted with toffees by fans in a traditional Korean insult on their return from Brazil four years ago, they will need star man Son to be on song in Russia to avoid a repeat.

Sony predicts return of virtual reality

Not content with attempting to usher in the advent of 3D console gaming, it seems Sony now has its sights set on the next quantum leap – virtual reality.
Speaking in a video interview to promote next month's b.tween 3D event in London, SCE Studios exec Mike Hocking explained that Sony's recently announced HMD device could represent the future of 3D gaming by allowing users access to a full 'virtual' world.
"Another thing that's coming back which I'm very excited is the notion of virtual reality," he explained.
"So we have our new HMD – or head-mounted display - which was announced at CES earlier this year, and you can see that we can now get back to where we really wanted to get with virtual reality in the '80s.
"We've now got the power to do it, we've got the screen resolution to do it, we've got the processing power to update fast enough so we can have very immersive experiences on head-mounted displays in gaming in the not too distant future.
"Being in a virtual world where I can see my virtual hands or a virtual gun with all the things we can do in the gaming world is going to be absolutely amazing," he added.
There's no release date set yet for Sony's HMD or even a firm set of tech specs. Have a look at the clip below from Sony's CES show to see what the gizmo looks like.
Staring even deeper into his crystal ball, Hocking also explained that he'd love to see AR-enabled contact lenses that would super-impose information about anything in your line of sight, Terminator-style.
"Most of the really exciting stuff is out there in the R&D area at the moment – like having contact lenses with cameras and sensors built-in so that everything you see can be augmented with useful data," he said.

The 2016 Sailing Olympics Is Now Roulette, a Game of Chance. Series 3 of 3
By Glenn McCarthy, May 12, 2015 at 9:00 am
From International Sailing Federation's (ISAF) perspective, here is exactly why ISAF must abandon the courses inside and outside Guanabara Bay immediately and order the event moved elsewhere to a clean water site in Brazil, it is no longer about the pursuit of perfection and fair play, it has become a Game of Chance:
International Sailing Federation has not hired a statistician who has calculated the: boat damages; illness competitors have picked up; and, boats that have been stopped by hitting garbage in practice and regattas, and has not showed the math that Guanabara Bay will work. The evidence has shown that it doesn't work to provide a fair contest.
No one ever designed the sport with the expectation that the water can provide illness to competitors or is full of trash hampering competitors advances on a race course. There are no rules that address this.
Each country currently is on their own to conduct their own water quality tests of Guanabara Bay, and for those who have done this, they all seem to keep the results hidden. Some countries are bringing doctors to treat their athletes should they become ill. This process is a fiasco, and in of itself is unfair that medical prevention and care are not standardized. If ISAF were to make this fair:
ISAF would conduct water quality tests;
ISAF would hire the doctors to determine the right course of treatment, prophylactic anti-biotics, and immunizations necessary to safely sail in the fetid waters of Guanabara Bay; and,
Require that each athlete who practices or competes in Guanabara provide a doctors report that they have been treated per ISAF's standard of medical prevention.
Right now, there is no standard to assure all athletes are prepared medically to sail in these fetid waters. This makes competition unfair. Some athletes might not have preventative treatment, or not know all of the hazards contained in the water.
As the Redress rules do not provide assistance for boat damage caused by debris or slowed by hitting debris in the water, does not provide resolution for a competitor who falls ill, the one thing the judges can do is abandon the entire race each time a boat hits debris. In a rare incident in a race anywhere in the world, this can make sense, but planning for this eventuality for Guanabara Bay where this is most assured, happens to be just plain dumb.
There are hoards of people in sailing who work diligently to assure that all competitions are "fair" eliminating the Game of Chance. The Rules of sailboat racing are designed solely with the Olympics in mind. Every four years (just after the Olympics conclude), the rules are changed to make improvements, remove anything that is unclear, and fix anything that might have been unfair. Back in 2013 the rules writers made 66 changes to the rules. Then the rules are frozen for the next four years so that all athletes preparing for the next Olympics know the game that will be played and practice that game.
The rules also have a built-in escape clauses when things don't work our fairly. Sportsmanship is a very broad rule that would prevent a competitor from gaining an advantage against another competitor through shenanigans or by violating a right of way rule that provides them a gain. Another process called "Redress" allows a competitor to allow fair play to be decided by a panel of judges should a race official make an error that caused a disadvantage.
However, neither of these fairness rules are designed to fix a situation where the sailing water made a competitor ill preventing them from competing for the day, running into trash slowing them down allowing competitors to pass them, or running into trash damaging their boat removing them from competition.
How can over 100 years of legions of rules writers and sailors providing input to make the rules sharper every four years be usurped by an incredibly poor choice of putting the Olympic Sailing into sewage and garbage filled sewage water? The rules never contemplated a situation like Rio.
Now instead of fairness with equal outcome, this is becoming a game of chance. If I were a rules writer, I would be livid that my work is being made fun of by ISAF, of all people.
Then there are manuals, training and certifications built for Race Officials. They take this stuff really seriously. Their job is to set a race course, communicate what they have done clearly to the competitors, start the race, and finish the race assuring that the timings were done accurately, and no boat received any advantage as a result of their work. Imagine, the large number of variables that can happen on a race course that is made of fluid. The wind shifts direction, or changes velocity, current increases, decreases, changes directions. Tide can shorten or length changing the position of the race marks. The highly trained Race Officials have to perform flawlessly in an environment that is full of variables.
A really great Race Official can make racing go smoothly during the day, and one who just doesn't have that vibe, can really frustrate the racers.
How can over 100 years of legions of really smart and talented people designing the manuals, training and tests to assure Race Officials provide a fair field of play and the competitors know that things will be right and all of this is usurped by an incredibly poor choice of putting the Olympic Sailing into sewage and garbage filled sewage water?
Now instead of fairness with equal outcome, this is becoming a game of chance. If I were a Race Official, I would be livid that my work is being made fun of by ISAF, of all people.
There are manuals, training and certifications have been built for Judges. They too really take this stuff seriously. Their job is to assure that allegations of a competitor violating a right a way rule or fairness rule against another competitor is heard in a hearing, and adjudicated properly with a penalty of disqualification for violating a rule. They also take complaints from competitors that the Race Officials may have made an error in their work, which provided an unfair situation and provide a fair resolution.
Judges spend tons of time studying the rules in seminars, re-reading them, sitting in discussions picking apart the nuances and one a million situations to understand clearly what the resolution must be. There is a manual on the procedures of a hearing, who gets to speak when, how cross examination goes, evidence procedures, witnesses and understanding what to do when a boat is damaged in a collision including the extent of damage.
Normally in most sailboat racing worldwide, if the Judges made an error, there are two layers of appeals available to get the right resolution. However, in the Olympics, the appeals process is eliminated and the decisions of the judges are final. In order to do this, these judges must be the best of the best.
How can over 100 years of legions of really smart and talented people designing the manuals, training and tests to assure Judge provide the final step in providing a fair field of play how can all of this is usurped by an incredibly poor choice of putting the Olympic Sailing into sewage and garbage filled sewage water?
Now instead of fairness with equal outcome, this is becoming a game of chance. I am a Judge, and I am livid that my work is being made fun of, by ISAF of all people. And would expect my fellow Judges to be livid as well.
ISAF's recent weak announcement saying that they want (not demand) Rio to move all racing out into the ocean outside Guanabara Bay does not go far enough. In general, the ocean water is cleaner. However, in a major rainstorm the wastes in Guanabara Bay flush out into the ocean where these outside ocean races courses are placed. There is garbage and sewage that covers the race courses during these storms. Hoping (gambling) that it is dry season during the Olympics and a rain storm won't occur is facetious, and not preparing for the best guaranteeing a safe, and fair Games.
In an email to me from Alistair Fox, Head of Competitions at ISAF on April 27, 2015, he wrote: "As for heavy rainfall, a great number of sailing venues around the world are adversely affected by heavy rainfall and the additional pollution that can run off the land. Rio is no different in that respect. August is the dry season in Rio but as you know with sailing events you never know what weather you will get and hence the phrase ‘it is not normally like this’. We need to have contingency plans in place to ensure fair racing and that is what we are working on."
Why waste all of this time trying to accommodate a facility that just doesn't work? Contingency plan? Just abandon Rio and move to a clean water site elsewhere in Brazil.
The sport of sailing was not designed nor contemplated to be sailed in waters full of garbage, sewage, hospital and industrial wastes. The 100 years of development of fairness, has not contemplated this type of field of play. Why? Because it becomes a game of chance, and everything this sport has been about focused on the Olympics is to eliminate chance and make it about skill sets.
How can the International Sailing Federation who has spent all of this time and all of this energy making sure that things will be fair and square throw it all away making a mockery of their faithful corps of volunteers who have dissected the sport over and over again make absolutely sure that the best talented athlete succeeds to the Gold Medal decide that sailing in pollution that jeopardizes all of the work of a hundred years doesn't need to be changed? Not only must it be changed, it must be done right now. Get this out of Rio, move it to Buzios, Brazil or some other clean water sailing site in Brazil.
Or over 100 years of focused work to assure fairness in the Olympics will be destroyed August 5 - 21, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro in or outside of Guanabara Bay. At that point, it will be time to get rid of ISAF as the leader of this sport and find a completely new system that will never take such a well known risk and gamble with peoples lives, and their boats like this ever again.
ISAF, you are mocking everything you have stood for. You are telling every sailor, judge, race officer, organizer that the pursuit of perfection is not what it is all about. You are changing racing to a game of chance. Just have the competitors play Roulette instead of sailing to determine who gets the Gold Medal, because they are playing Russian Roulette with their health and boats by sailing in Guanabara Bay already.
ISAF, you cannot guarantee a Fair Contest inside or outside Guanabara Bay and that is your job.

In 1993 it was selected by the international conservation organisation DoCoMoMo as one of sixty key Scottish monuments of the post-war period. It was also nominated in 2002 by the Architecture Heritage Society of Scotland as one of the most significant modern contributions to Scottish heritage. These sentiments were echoed in Prospect 100 best modern Scottish buildings, published in 2005.
S&P Architects were the architects and lead consultants for the 2012 refurbishment and were awarded the Scottish Design Award in 2012 for the best reuse of a listed building.

Commonwealth Pool – Refurbishment
Design: S&P Architects
£30m approx
The refurbishment and upgrading of the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh was completed in April 2012, according to Buro Happold. The £25m refurbishment of this Grade A listed structure has twice played host to the Commonwealth Games – once in 1970 and again in 1986. The project was initiated by Edinburgh City Council in a bid to upgrade diving facilities ahead of Scotland hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Following a massive renovation programme the building has been transformed into a state of the art sport and leisure facility. It now contains the largest and longest swimming pool in Edinburgh, 50m length, 8 lanes and a normal depth of 2m, which can also be split into two 25m pools with the use of a boom.
The layout of the building has been restored to enhance and promote the use of natural light within the facility as was the intention of the original architects in 1967. The original windows surrounding the perimeter of the building and internally have been retained as has the Terrazzo flooring within the foyer and reception areas. Diving board columns and staircases have been reinstated to replicate the original diving board layout and the original “hot” seats located around the pools have also been reinstated. The new diving board configuration now meets with international requirements for major diving events.

Robert Matthew was London County Council Chief Architect. Working for the LCC made his name and he was instrumental in creating one of the UK’s key 20th century buildings, New Zealand House off Pall Mall, London. Matthew had graduated from Edinburgh College of Art and he returned to Scotland in 1953.
Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners – RMJM (1956-) created some key Edinburgh buildings – notably the Commonwealth Pool and the landmark David Hume Tower. The latter was striking in that it invaded a formal Georgian Square, historic University quarter.
Like another key 20th century Scottish Architect – Isi Metzstein of GK&C – Robert Matthew became Edinburgh University Professor of Architecture.
Matthew worked briefly with another Scottish great, Basil Spence, on Queen Elizabeth Square, Hutchestown, Glasgow.

The CDM in Africa Cannot Deliver the Money
18 April 2012 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Learn why the carbon trading gamble and ‘Clean Development Mechanism’ won’t save the planet from climate change and why African civil society is resisting. Read the second EJOLT report, “The CDM in Africa Cannot Deliver the Money”, by the University of KwaZulu-Natal Centre for Civil Society and Dartmouth College Climate Justice Research Project. A dozen researchers from around the globe, under the guidance of Professor Patrick Bond, explain in full detail – and through case studies from South Africa, Niger, Kenya, Mozambique, Ethiopia, the DRC and Tanzania – why the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is failing. The West’s strategy to reduce emissions is causing more harm than good to Africa –the continent that contributes the least to climate change but that suffers the heaviest toll. Disguised as a ‘solution’ to the climate change crisis, the CDM is now creating a second injustice above this existing injustice.
The 105 pp report can be downloaded from here.
It is being launched today in Durban at the Bisasar Road landfill (Africa’s largest, and a major CDM pilot); in Addis Ababa at the African Carbon Forum of carbon traders which begins this morning; in Hanover, USA, at Dartmouth College (whose president, Jim Yong Kim, was this week chosen as World Bank president); and in Brussels at the Northern Alliance for Sustainability, in advance of today’s European Union Environment Ministers meeting which will deliberate on a bail-out for the crashing EU carbon market.
Across Africa, the CDM subsidizes dangerous for-profit activities, making them yet more advantageous to multinational corporations which are mostly based in Europe and the US. In turn, these same corporations can continue to pollute beyond the bounds set by politicians especially in Europe, because the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) forgives increasing pollution in the North if it is offset by dubious projects in the South, especially in China, India, Brazil and Mexico (the main sites of CDMs). But because communities, workers and local environments have been harmed in the process, various kinds of social resistances have emerged, and in some cases met with repression or ‘divide-and-rule’ strategies.
After explaining in details the problems with the CDM in Africa through several cases, the authors come to a firm conclusion: “All these cases suggest the need for an urgent policy review of the entire CDM mechanism’s operation (a point we made to the United Nations CDM Executive Board in a January 2012 submission), with the logical conclusion that the system should be decommissioned and at minimum, a moratorium be placed on further crediting until the profound structural and implementation flaws are confronted. The damage done by CDMs to date should be included in calculations of the ‘climate debt’ that the North owes the South, with the aim of having victims of CDMs compensated appropriately.”
EJOLT is a large collaborative project bringing science and society together to catalogue ecological distribution conflicts and work towards confronting environmental injustice. More info on EJOLT. We would be grateful if you could spread news about this report.

DAY 22 – BAZAAR +
Category: Afghanistan / Tag: Bazaar, Historical Sites / 2 comments
SYNOPSIS: ABOUT THE JAMI MOSQUE, A FAILED VISIT TO THE CITADEL, A DISCOVERY AT THE CISTERN AND LIFE AT THE BAZAAR.
Herat has one of the most complete and most beautiful shrines in Afghanistan, the 12th century Masjid-e-Jami, or Friday Mosque. It is in style and layout very similar to the shrines of Uzbekistan and Iran: Pishtaks, court yards, minarets, and beautiful tiling. No wonder, as it was heavily restored in the 15th Century Timurid Period. You just can’t get away from Timur, it seems! We got up at 6 AM to see it at the early morning hour and at the best light. It was great. Hardly any people at this hour either.
This mosque originally was built entirely out of brick and stucco. Only in a few small sections has the original brick work been preserved. The appearance would have been drastically different. For the most part the shrine now sports drywall in the Iwans, and brand-new tiling made at a workshop integrated into the mosque complex. Unfortunately, that was closed. One of the most interesting objects of the complex was a 13th Century bronze cauldron filled with a cool drink, which used to greet pilgrims. These days, it has been put behind lock and key inside a dusty glass and wooden pavilion. What a shame.
I am dressed just about as impeccably as can be with my loose clothing and my nearly stylish head scarf, but at the mosque, as early in the morning as it was, and outside prayer time, there was a turbaned man who nonetheless found fault with me: I did not wear any socks! Neil, my travel companion surrendered his socks, but the point of the matter was that other women also came in with slippers and without socks and they were fine… oh, well.
A second visit at the office responsible for giving out permits to the sites in town was as unsuccessful as the first. For whatever reason, we were not worthy of the official stamp of approval. We only could try to go anyhow and convince the door-keeper otherwise. But that, too, failed. We were left with some beautiful external views of the fantastically restored citadel which seemed to be closed to everyone and all. Why bother with the restoration, I ask?
Right across the citadel was one of the old cisterns in town, the Malik Cistern. I had seen many of those, much bigger even than this, in Iran. These are typically round buildings dug deep into the ground, which can store water (even ice) to supply the population during droughts. This one had been nicely restored as well, and became home to an artist’s workshop! Landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes were displayed up high in all kinds of media. About six students were busy at work copying pieces of art as the master artist walked around looking over their shoulders. That was the last I had expected here! Through our tour guide Mubin, I found out a bit about the artist Mohammed Ebrahim Habibi: Under the Soviets, he had gone to Pakistan and studied art. And based on the Soviet invasion, he painted a canvas about his country with visual commentaries on the atrocities that went on at home: shelling, explosions, bombed out homes, people losing loved ones and limbs. After the Soviet’s defeat, he returned to Afghanistan and the canvas was briefly displayed at a government office. But when the Taliban took power, they sliced and discarded it. The artist had to flee again; this time to Iran. About ten years ago he returned. He found the discarded canvas, repaired it, and was allowed to open a private art school in the restored cistern of the town. That’s where he and his canvas are today.
Except for this one canvas, most of his art is rather conventional and not even very good (I am sorry to say and I definitely leave this open to individual tastes). But I liked his story and even more the fact that today he is teaching a young generation how to be artists. If you would see his pictures you would find nothing of the reality of life here; everything is pretty, idyllic, and romanticized. Perhaps, the tragedy of life as it is, sits too close to his heart to paint it. His art is an escape into an idealized world which hopefully will become reality in Afghanistan, some day, again. This was a great visit and one we did not even plan on or need a permit for. So it goes. Surprises like this are always the best.
After a big and delicious lunch and an hour of sleep, we went off to one of the few surviving older parts of town where much of the bazaar is located. We walked for more than three hours and saw everything from bakers to tailors, carpet shops, blacksmiths, carpenters, burqa-stores, and tire-recycle shops. That was perhaps the most unusual craft: An entire alley of shops was dedicated to the recycling of old tires, big and small. From car parts to ropes, to waste baskets and water buckets, just about anything you could imagine was created out of these tires. We watched the workers cut these huge tires, remove the steel lining and go to work. As all the other jobs, this was hard work, especially in the heat. And everywhere you saw fathers and sons working together.
According to Mubin, the literacy rate in Afghanistan is still only around 30 percent. More and more illiterate parents send their kids to school, but many still depend on them for work. As a result, a whole row of people were sitting alongside the mosque offering writing services. Any illiterate person could go there and dictate whatever document they needed; it is a service like having your shoes fixed or your clothes tailored.
We had convinced Mubin to dispense with the driver we were going to have today and to do this day on foot. Both Neil and I are quite OK walking for hours and we definitely enjoyed this opportunity to “be free”, to see, and to smell. The smells can become quite challenging given the trash and the open sewage canals. But it was all worth it. In Kabul we will be put inside a car again soon enough.
Very few areas of the bazaar have been restored, notably one large hall. But others, gorgeous courts with shops and living quarters above them, khans similar to those you would find in Syria, are visibly neglected. They serve as parking lots, trash heaps, or at best as storage areas. Some of them are noticeably old, built with beautiful brick-patterns, but their beauty seems to go unnoticed. In some areas the old mud-brick city wall can be made out. Most of the time it has been incorporated into newer houses, shops, or courtyards. Many of Herat’s old buildings have fallen victim to war. This area, one of the few that is left, will soon be victim of neglect and lack of funds. But life has to go on. People who have barely enough to subside would be hard-pressed to consider the historical value of what little they can call their own. I understand, even though it saddens me.
At a chaichone (tea house) we finished the day. We came by a narrow, dark and dirty stall furnished with wooden beds and lined with old carpets to sit on. The man at the back of the stall brews tea and there you sit, sip, and chat. At this hour the chaichone was empty. At night, rows of men would be expected there finishing off the day. As everywhere we go, people start to crowd around us and within minutes we had a few onlookers who found it most interesting to watch us drink our tea. We have been welcomed with smiles just about everywhere throughout the bazaar. I asked people if I could take their pictures (only men, of course) and often was granted permission. I hope you will enjoy the weathered faces of some of these people as much as I do. With their turbans and their traditional shalwar kameez (loose pants and shirts) they look beautiful. I wish, Mubin, our tour guide would dress in traditional garb. But he has to wear western-style clothes as part of his office protocol.
After less than four hours of walking, I was pooped again. A delicious dinner buffet awaited us at the hotel. And so went another day in Afghanistan. The views from the hotel roof garden are spectacular, particularly in the evening and morning sun. When you look down at the traffic and the people of Herat, you can almost forget where you are. But this peaceful surface deceives even here. Outside of the center of town things are not calm. You have to know where to go and where not to go. I certainly could not have done this alone. I am usually the spot of attention – all heads fling around when I walk by no matter how conservatively or dark I dress. I am used to that and pretend I don’t notice. But it is comforting to have Mubin and Neil with me. I am not sure how I would feel without them. Most people are friendly, but at least one guy gave me a very nasty look and the finger as I walked by. How many hostile thoughts there are, I will never know. Mubin has talked about how many people have been educated about foreigners and have a positive outlook. But even he estimates hostility in the population at over 50 percent. In Herat, there is law and order. The government is in control. That is not the case in much of the rest of the country and as always, what we can see on the surface is less than half the picture.
I enjoy understanding and practicing a few recurring phrases which I have mastered so far, such as: What is your name? Where are you from? How long will you be here? How old are you? What time is it? How much does this cost? Nice to meet you. I am a teacher. I have a son, etc. Dari and Farsi are so close. People understand what I say, but they have to slow way down and reduce their vocabulary to a few essentials for me to follow them. It’s a good ice breaker when I approach strangers. It usually helps to endear them to me just a little bit. One of the ALT drivers told me that too often he is meeting foreigners (and that holds mostly true for Americans) who after 10 years in the country still have not made any efforts to learn the local language. What that tells the locals does not translate into mutual respect, or acceptance. Given the last hundred years of foreign behavior on top of that, no one wonders that anti-foreign sentiments run so high.

Seeking Remedy by the Quran
What is the ruling on seeking remedy by the Qur'an, supplications and amulets?
It is permissible to seek remedy by the Qur'an, according to the following Hadith which is narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, may Allaah be pleased with him, who said: A group of the Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) went in a trip, and stopped by an Arab tribe whom they asked to accommodate them, but the people of that tribe refused. It so happened that the chief of that tribe was stung. His people tried their best to heal him but were unable to do so. They said to each other: Would that we seek help from those transients. They may have something. They came to them, and said. O people, our chief is stung, and we tried our best to heal him to no avail. Can you do something about it. One of the companions said, Certainly, by Allaah I will use incantations. But you refused to accommodate us when we asked you. I will not recite any incantations for him unless you promise us a reward. They agreed to give them a herd of sheep. The man went to the chief, and recited Surah Al-Fatihah while spitting on him. The chief recovered as though his ties were undone, and began walking as if nothing had happened to him. Abu Said said: They gave the reward which they promised them. Some of the Companions suggested that they should divide the sheep. But the person doing the incantations said, Do not do that until we go to the Messsenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) and report to him what happened, and see what he will order us to do. When they came to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam). He asked the man doing the incantations: How did you know that Surah Al-Fatihah could be used for incantation? You did the right thing. Divide the sheep among yourselves and give me a share. [1] This Hadith signifies the legitimacy of seeking remedy by the Qur'an. As for the amulets that contain Qur'an Verses, it is not permissible according to the valid opinion of the scholars. And it is Allaah who grants success. May he exalt the mention of our Prophet Muhammad, his household, and his Companions.

Who rules at the green mound of Cruachan."
During the Tudor period they intermarried frequently with
the Geraklines of Kildare; they took part in the rebellion of
Earl Thomas, 1534; and in 1535, Brian O'Connor, Chieftain of
the clan, preserved Gerald, the 11th Earl, from death, when
he was being hunted down by Henry VIII. From this time
forward the O'Connors of Offaley became objects of the jealousy
of the Tudor monarchs ; and as their possessions lay along
the frontiers of the Pale, they were exposed to the brunt of
repeated invasions. In 1454, Bellingham seized their terri-
tories, and Offaley was changed into the King's County ; but
until the close of the IGth century they retained a shadow of
their former state, and occupied a part of their ancient patri-
mony. At length, afteratediousgtruggle with the Lieutenants
of Elizabeth, they were entirely subdued 1599 ; and O'SuUivan
informs us that three brothers, Cahir, Maurice, and John
O'Connor, were the last of the race who, in ICOO, obtained the
rank of Irish Prinzes. From one of these chieftains — it is
uncertain which — the family of O'Connor of Gartnamona is
descended; and, although some links in the pedigree are want-
ing, the descent is attested by local tradition, by inscriptioci
on graves, by the identity of Christian names, and by the
researches of eminent antiquaries. For instance, a scroll on
the i)resent mansion asserts that it was built ''by the heir of
Offaley;" an epitaph on the family tomb of Killeigh, of the
date of 1596, connects its subject " cum slemmate herouni ; ''
the names of Maurice and John, which are frequent in the
family, were also common to the ancient chieftains ; and the
well-known Charles O'Connor of Balanagarc {History of Ire-
land, p. 287) expressly identifies John O'Connor of Mount
Pleasant with the Princes of the House of Offaley. In the year
16S9,
CoL. John O'Connor, of Cappaghgarane, of Gartnamona,
wa-s M.P. for the borough of Pliiiipstcwn in the Parliament
assembled in Dublin by James II., and, it is supposed, was
slain at the battle of Aughrim. He had three sons, John, a
Major in the French service; Maurice, of whom presently;
and Thomas, who d. s. p. The 2nd son,

RBC Centre
*Project led by Barry Charnish while employed at a previous firm.
Kohn Pedersen Fox as Design Architect, B+H Architects as Executive Architects
Cadillac Fairview Corporation
185-m (607 ft) tall to roof, 43 floors, total floor area of 112,900 m² (1,215,000 ft²
$250 M
2011 – SAB Award Winning Project, Sustainable Architecture and Building Magazine
2010 – Tall Commercial Award of Excellence, Toronto Urban Design
2010 – Commercial/Institutional (Runner Up), People’s Choice Awards for Architecture
2010 – Sustainable Concrete Construction, Ready Mix Concrete Association of Ontario
RBC Centre is the commercial portion of a two-tower office and residential complex in Toronto’s financial district. Recognized for its striking architecture, the Centre features a shield-like vertical slice topped with a four-storey glass-clad lantern, adding a distinct presence to Toronto’s downtown skyline. RBC Centre is Canada’s largest office tower to receive LEED® Gold certification for interior construction and design.
Under-floor air and electrical distribution let designers omit ordinary office ceilings. The exposed ceilings allow the structure to act as architecture. The perimeter of the building is column-free: the slabs cantilever 4.5 m (15 ft).
The curtain wall includes lighting shelves to direct light inside, while exposed concrete surfaces help distribute indirect light throughout offices. Operable windows augment ventilation throughout the building.
Challenge: The design had to contribute to indoor environmental quality for the building to attain LEED® Gold certification.
Solution: To promote maximum distribution of natural light to the interior of the building, the design called for full-height glass. The floor plate was built using flat slab construction with a 4.5-m cantilever, which provided the opportunity to form the slab with a thin edge that permits glass from floor to ceiling.

Wallmart and Dearborn -America's Kosovo
Discussion and debate of Religions that contradict scripture
by sheri on Mon Mar 03, 2008 1:29 pm
http://www.newsweek.com/id/117835?GT1=43001
As America changes, so does the store where America shops. In Dearborn this week, the world's largest retailer opens a store like no other among its 3,500 U.S. outlets. Walk through the front door of the 200,000-square-foot supercenter and instead of rows of checkout counters, you find a scene akin to a farmers market in Beirut. Twenty-two tables are stacked high with fresh produce like kusa and batenjan, squash and eggplant used in Middle Eastern dishes. Rimming the produce department are shelves filled with Arab favorites like mango juice from Egypt and vine leaves from Turkey used to make mehshi, or stuffed grape leaves. A walled-off section of the butcher case is devoted to Halal meats, slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law (when a Wal-Mart manager noticed the pork section was too prominent he ordered it moved, since Muslims don't eat pork). In the freezer case, you'll find frozen falafel. You can also pick up a CD from Lebanese pop singer Ragheb Alama or buy Muslim greeting cards.
BUT THEY WON"T SELL hajab (headscarves). How bout' burka's?
"To fit into this bastion of ethnic tradition, Wal-Mart started two years ago to meet with imams and moms, conducting focus groups at Middle Eastern restaurants. Wal-Mart learned the community wasn't as concerned about seeing Arabic-language signs as they were with dealing with Arabic-speaking staff. So Bartell hired about 35 Arabic speakers, including Suehaila Amen, a local middle-school teacher who is providing ethnic sensitivity training to the 650 employees."
He also learned not to bother stocking traditional Muslim clothing, like the headscarf, or hijab, Amen wears. "The community told us, 'I would not feel comfortable coming to Wal-Mart to buy my hijab'," says assistant store manager Jordan Berke. "We're not here to overstep our bounds."

As Arwa Hamad strolls a new Wal-Mart, an eight-foot display of olive oil stops her in her tracks. "Oh, wow," she says, marveling at the sight of so many gallons of Lebanese extra virgin. "We could go through one of these in a week in my house." Around the corner, row upon row of gallon jars of olives—from Turkey, Greece, Egypt and Lebanon—soak in deep hues of purple, red and green. "Look at the size of these olives," says the stay-at-home mother of three and native of Yemen. Hamad, 34, has shopped at Wal-Mart before, but never one like this. She is overcome with nostalgia as she spots Nido powdered milk and Al Haloub Cow, canned meat she calls the "Arabic Spam." "My father loves this," she says. "People from war-torn countries, this is what you lived on when you couldn't go out of the house to shop."
This Wal-Mart, though, isn't in a war zone.
It's in Dearborn, Mich., home to nearly a half-million Arab-Americans,
the largest concentration of Arabs outside the Middle East.
As America changes, so does the store where America shops.

I also know of a store in a that is aimed specifically at providing foods for the Jewish community to buy. Many of its patrons speak Yiddish.
All Arabs are not Islamic, either. Many Arab Christians had lived in the Middle East for centuries and have been forced off their lands by Jewish settlers and migrated to the United States or other countries. Just as some Jews have become Christians, some Muslims have converted to faith in Jesus Christ. A large store with which I am familiar has sections that feature Jewish kosher foods as well as Mexican, Italian or Greek favorites. There is nothing wrong with it.
I also like mango juice.

I don't see anything wrong with a store catering to the needs of the community it is in. If they made all Wal-Marts cater to strictly arab needs, then I would be upset.
All the stores in my area have now added mexican food isles. That makes good business sense. There are a few Chinese stores here and there that sell all Chinese products. I actually like to explore the foods and wares of other cultures, even the different medicines and common household items they use. It's very informative.

O.K... This is not a racial issue because Islam is not a race but a political/social/economical/legal ideology thinly veiled under the name of "religion".
When a major , national chain kow tows to one segment of its population, that is very different than your neighborhood mom and pop store catering to a specific clientel. When a store sells "halal" products and shields the pork from the rest of the store-- those are not actions aimed at "Arabs" but Muslims. Quote: "A walled-off section of the butcher case is devoted to Halal meats, slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law ".
When a store hires a "specialist" to give "sensitivity" training to 650 employees in order not to offend the ultra sensitive Muslims and says ""We're not here to overstep our bounds." that is just opening the door to dhimmitude.

Yes, that makes sense, but that is one aisle or a part of one at most, not a WHOLE store..Does your store offer Latino sensitivity training to it's employees??

Do you not understand the aims of Islam is to infiltrate all areas of society, politics, our legal system (sharia law) ect. until Islam becomes dominate and is able to take over the whole of the world?
You have 3 choices in Islam :
1. Convert .
2. Remain a Christian/ Jew but as a second class citizen , a dhimmi, a slave to Muslims.
3. Or death.
Is this what you want for the future of our Country?
Dearborn has the highest Muslim population in America outside of the Middle East.
Will it become our Kosovo, declaring itself separate from America, a state within a state?
This move by Wal-Mart is just one more chink in the armor of America's freedom and sovereignity!
Don't throw the race card out at me- this is not a racial issue, but one of our very survival as a Christian Nation!
Please read this article on "Sharia Creep":
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=C9A33CD4-88D4-4162-A1C1-6777D90821EC
Author and expert on radical Islam Robert Spencer has been sounding the alarm about “sharia creep” for years at his website DhimmiWatch. In an exclusive interview with FrontPageMag.com, Spencer reflected on whether or not his efforts to warn the public were paying off
"I think we may be getting through to a very small number of people, but Muslim Brotherhood front organizations in the U.S. are still making tremendous headway by portraying these Sharia-creep initiatives as simple matters of civil rights, and playing on fears among public officials, and the public at large, of being seen as racist and bigoted.
It is getting worse, because there is a concerted effort by the MSA's on various campuses and other groups to push Muslim accommodation issues aggressively, but this effort is relatively new. We didn't see it on this scale ten or even five years ago. I think it is a natural outgrowth of the post-9/11 anxiety on the part of government and media not to appear ‘Islamophobic.’ As long as that continues to be a matter for concern, there will be continued accommodation of Muslim practices and Islamic distinctiveness, which only aids and abets the Islamic supremacist agenda.
The idea would be to awaken as many people as possible to what is going on here -- who the groups are that are pursuing this agenda, and what the agenda really is, behind all the talk of ‘hate speech’ and accommodation of cultural practices in the name of multiculturalism and diversity.
And that agenda seems to be everywhere – from the big issues right down to British fish and chips. When it was revealed in late February that a popular British snack food contained traces of alcohol, a Muslim Council of Britain spokesman declared, “Certainly we would find it very offensive to have eaten food with alcohol.”
I don't want to see the Islamization of America , and neither should you!
WAKE-UP!
This move by Wal-Mart is much more than just having an aisle with a few ethnic foods.!
It is a systematic infiltration of Islam into America with the aim to eventually install Sharia as the law of the land , with Islam reining supreme!
In 1998, CAIR's founder, Omar Ahmad stated:
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
This attitude of "multicultural accommodation" towards Muslims expressed here is disturbing!

Luk 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luk 6:29 "Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
Luk 6:30 "Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
Luk 6:31 "Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
Luk 6:32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is {that} to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luk 6:33 "If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is {that} to you? For even sinners do the same.
Luk 6:34 "If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is {that} to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same {amount.}
Luk 6:35 "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil {men.}
Luk 6:36 "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Luk 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
That is all well and good, but does it include learning a foreign language so we can talk to people who don't understand our language or selling people food they like to eat?
Perhaps herding them into a small area, building a wall around them to keep them away from everyone else and restricting their access to travel, water, food, medicine, fuel and electricity will make them loving friends. But we must begin by destroying many of their homes and confiscating their property and water rights. We could also call anyone who resisted the treatment they were given terrorists and then we could kill them and their families and neighbors to insure our security.
*Edited to add that those who have used the above plan reject Jesus Christ as a false prophet who needed to be killed to preserve the faith they hold dear.
"Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." 1 John 2:22-23 (NASB)
I think that plan is being used in the world today, but I do not think it is God's plan. What Jesus taught is God's plan.

As I read some of these posts I can't help but wonder...when did God stop being God? When did He become inept? When did he abdicate His power and plan to a nation or to a corporation?
What if the Islamification of America was a part of God's overall plan? Would we stand in His way to defend the lifestyle of a nation? There are times that I wonder if nationalism may be one of the greatest of apostasies because we elevate the love and needs of a nation above the sovereignty of our Father and His plan.

My, my, my. Look at all this. First of all this.........
So exactly what is wrong with having a store there that caters to the muslims ? Their money is just a green as ours, and the profits go where, Saudi Arabia ? Last time I looked this was still America, which by the way includes many Chinatowns, Little Italys, etc, etc. This is capitalism at it's finest, finding a market and going for it. From the secular standpoint I must say this attitude of negativity is most definitely discriminatory. Do you like to worship your God ? Then you must let others do the same. I would venture that most of the Dearborn muslims are Americans too. Whadya think of that ? Is there such a thing as a US reverse dhimmi ?
Why the horrendous FEAR display over one store in one neighborhood ? Sure there are plans to islamicize the US, but one store is not a national movement of note. It is not likely US law will allow Dearborn to secede, or make law contrary to our US Contitution, or maybe even the State Constitution. And I agree sensitivity training is a bit over the top, so maybe they should just call it 'respect training'. Or how about 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' training. If employees are being forced to worship as muslims then I think we can agree this is wrong. But this is a store, not a mosque. As long as it operates that way, what's the beef ? Time will tell, doncha think ?
Freinds, this thing must be allowed to run it's course. Anger and fear produce only fuel for the so called enemy. Love and Grace produce the effects of our Lord. It is truly in His Hands to complete, Let's try do our share also.

I haven't read anywhere in my Bible that God gave us the USA as our Ark of protection against the world or those that would persecute us. I despise any religion that is anti-Christ,but as for the people, there but for god's Grace go I.
I think this country quit being a Christian nation a long time ago and that is why Islam and other religion's are being allowed to spread. Look at how many people like Obama call themselves "devout Christians." Real, true Christians are likely already a small minority.
Jesus himself said if we followed him, we would be persecuted, not that he would give us a safe haven in the USA.
I'm supposed to let the Lord's light show through me to unbelievers in order to show them the love the Lord has for them. I'm not supposed to show them fear and hatred. I don't want to be anyone's slave or have my head chopped off, but if that is a trial the Lord allows in my life, I pray he will sustain me through it.

I feel like an alien in my home town'
Yesterday, outside number 95A, his grandmother's former home, Mr Carbin gazed in bewilderment as he scanned his old haunt.
Not surprisingly, the stores of his youth had gone: such has been the change in our shopping habits over the decades that they have given way to supermarkets and fast-food outlet.
But that was not all that had changed irrevocably in Oak Lane. Among the new stores, the clothes shops sell Muslim dress, the butcher stocks halal meat and even the local takeaway advertises halal pizza.
"I feel like an alien, like I'm on a street in Karachi," Mr Carbin says, awkwardly.
"I don't feel I have anything in common with this area. It's like I've never been here before. I knew it would be different but I knew, too, that I would feel uncomfortably like I don't belong."
Mr Carbin is far from a racist, however. Well educated and widely travelled in Muslim countries, he has the utmost respect for the Islamic religion. What is worrying him is that Britain's increasing espousal of multiculturalism has led not to an integrated society but, instead, to ghettoisation, with white-only and Asian-only communities existing cheek by jowl but with little or no common ground. And that, he believes, could have an ominous outcome.
"This isn't, as the Government would like us to believe, a multicultural society," he says.
"This is pure racial segregation. And it's like this because the Muslim community simply refuses to integrate. So people like me feel like outcasts in our own country."
As Mr Corbin trudges farther along Oak Lane, he passes the tumble-down Anglican church where many of his former neighbours worshipped. Amid the mound of bricks, Sunday school hymn books are strewn.
Across town, in another Asian enclave, one local shopkeeper is preparing to sell up after 30 years running a family firm.
"I am retiring," he says. "But yes, it's true, a lot of people feel uncomfortable in Muslim areas. It's fine for me, I've stayed and I know everyone, but many are fearful of venturing into the area.
"It's not so much fear of violence, rather that they feel a sense of not being welcome, of having nothing in common with the community here, and a feeling that no one would appreciate the interest should they show it.
"I wish the Muslim community had integrated more, but they didn't. I haven't even been able to get them to join Neighbourhood Watch."
In the surrounding streets, the few white residents willing to talk speak of isolation rather than intimidation. One said he had had several members of the Asian community knocking on his door, asking if he wanted to sell his home.
"At face value, that seems innocuous," he says. "But others believe it was a message saying I should get out."
Another tells of how his father, an electrician, parked his van in the area only to have it rocked and thumped by a group of Asian youths telling him: "This is our area now. You are not welcome here.
It surprises no one, he says, knowingly, that a recently built massive police station, complete with a 30ft wall and a communications tower, now dominates upper Oak Lane.
In the nearby town of Dewsbury, which was once, like Bradford, a thriving mill area, similar enclaves exist. Local people were outraged recently to read that busy nurses at their local hospital had to allocate time to turning the beds of Muslim patients towards Mecca five times a day so that they could pray.
But, as Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity, points out, the notion of space and territory is vital to Muslims.
During the 1979 European Islamic Conference, a policy of integrating as communities, not as individuals, was advocated.
"Once those communities become the majority," he says, "they can control education, the economy and so on. And that is what has happened

Keep this in mind, folks,
Remember the 9-11 pilot Mohammed Atta? He absolutely hated the fact that Americanized restaurants and stores were in his country. He believed that they would destroy their islamic culture.
In the area we're discussing, all the local stores probably already cater to only the Muslim culture.
At least in a Wal-Mart , there are lots and lots of places to leave Christian Bible tracts.

Exactly!! I don't think any of you are understanding that Islam is not the same as an ethnic group, and it is unlike any other religion in the world.
I don't say this without alot of research and reading. I have reached out to Muslim's and I have a heart for them as individuals who have been born into a religion where there is no escape except with great difficulty --which often leads them to be ostracized from their family or worse being killed ( ever heard of honor killings ? They are happening in this country now with more and more frequency).
Have you read my posts? have you gone onto the *link to religion of peace removed by acib* web site? Or do you just want to bury your head in the sand and remain anesthetized to what is happening in the world , especially the Christian and Jewish persecution taking place ANYWHERE Islam is allowed to become dominant???
I believe ministering to Muslims is my mission ,and we are to love them above all , BUT I cannot remain silent or complacent to the evil that is ISLAM ITSELF- it is truly SATAN'S RELIGION, IT IS THE VEHICLE THAT HE IS USING TO DESTROY ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD AND REPLACE IT WITH EVIL!!
And i love my country too much to see this evil take it over!

What... more common sense... actually implying that shopping at Walmart for food they like is a step integrating Arabs into American culture and out of Islamic control over every part of their lives. Arabs and Americans of other ethnic groups who like the "farmer's market" type of atmosphere might even talk to each other and become less likely to kill each other.
Of course that goes against the belief that the first step of Christian evangelism is to incite fear and hatred against the people who are not believing what you believe. I don't think that can be found in the Bible.
Before more posts are wasted claiming I don't understand Islam, please go to my favorite web site for information about Islam, Prophet of Doom - Islam's Terrorist Dogma in Muhammad's Own Words, where you can really learn about the demonic excuse for a religion called Islam.
A short excerpt quoted from the site:
Islam is a caustic blend of paganism and twisted Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist. And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence...
While I may not agree with a few of the author's opinions posted on the site, I do believe its sections covering the background and history of Islam are among the best I have seen. The author has interviewed Islamic terrorists and spent thousands of hours researching Islam's historical documents. The website is extensive.
Death threats, attempts to shut down the web site and other efforts to silence the author are confirmation that he is striking a nerve with his words. There is a section with feedback from former Muslims and also there is feedback from Muslims who want him killed slowly.

If you go with that kind of thinking...you might as well just sit back and do nothing about anything -because - what if that's what God wants?
I don't know - I may not be looking at this from a Christian standpoint - but I agree with Sherie! Is there a Wal-Mart that will cater to just the Christians - selling only Christian books, dvd's, etc? You could argue that there isn't a town/city made up of solely Christian people - but who knows? What if there is? Maybe I'm just being ridiculous and over-dramatic about it?
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19
Over the past two years, Wal-Mart has tested its "store of the community": it has stocked stores in Chicago and Atlanta with products aimed at African-Americans and set up a hitching post at an Ohio store near a large Amish community. The Dearborn store, though, is the most extreme example of the concept. Wal-Mart offers its standard fare, plus 550 items targeted at Middle Eastern shoppers. "In the past, Wal-Mart has been pretty cookie-cutter when it comes to merchandise," says Dearborn store manager Bill Bartell. "But this time, we really got to know the community.
Again, it is not Islamification. "Wal-Mart offers its standard fare, plus 550 items targeted at Middle Eastern shoppers." There would still be thousands of "standard fare" items available to those outside the targeted Middle Eastern shoppers.

Sheri, I most certainly agree with you that islam is the religion of satan. However, a walmart in Dearborn isn't the first nor the last step of islamification. The population already exists, therefore the need for a walmart, or any other type of outlet or service to exist there. Somehow walmart has become the focal point of what really appears to be islamophobia. This is a real phobia, it causes reactions that are not Christian like. OK, dance around the issue, but in reality this is the Lord's battle. He is the only one who can destroy satan's religion. We are told through prophecy we are going to be persecuted for His Namesake. It appears islam is the method by which it will come about. What is our part ? To represent the Lord as He is, the One who desires no one perish. The Lords Will Be Done.
This doesn't mean not to resist, but to do so with the Faith and Patience of the Saints. There is the strength that is not ours, but the Lord doing the battle through us. So how is it beneficial to anyone to complain about walmart serving a community ? That is not where the battle lies, it's within the community itself. Other folks can shop there too and no doubt find products they want and need. Lighten up a bit. There are communities like gay towns, gang towns etc, that are much more a danger to our country and lifestyle than Dearborns muslims shopping at walmart. Islam is just a part of the big picture, which IMO is appeasement multi-culturalism, PC thought and behavior, at least everywhere but for Christians and Jews. Scripture is full of accounts about the people of the latter days. It appears to be now, or in the near future. If those days are upon us how are we to act, be ? Scripture tells us this also. I don't mean to preach to the choir here, but really, we are not of a spirit of fear, but of power, that of the Lord. We should act accordingly.

Having a heart for witnessing means throwing xenophobia out the door. If it's not possible to separate ISLAM from ARAB, and if your view of Islam is that it's unchangeable, then your witnessing will never materialize.
"... and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Victory for His church will be won by slaying people with the Word, not by criticizing their way of living.
1The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him 3and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."
4Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: 5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'
8"I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'
9"The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11"Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying. 12The Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going with them. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house. 13He told us how he had seen an angel appear in his house and say, 'Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved.'
15"As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. 16Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with[a]water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 17So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?"
18When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."

Is there a Wal-Mart that will cater to just the Christians - selling only Christian books, dvd's, etc? You could argue that there isn't a town/city made up of solely Christian people - but who knows? What if there is?
That's because they probably won't make money from it. Unfortunately the majority of Christians in America think they are fine without an active participation with real spirituality. If the Christians in America only had their Muslims (baseless) zeal then we'd probably find more christian items in those stores.

I may be wrong, but if my history and current events are correct, the greatest advances of the gospel have come in times and locations where persecution was the greatest. To be frank, I'm far more concerned about what Rick Warren and other emerging church advocates are doing to the Gospel than protecting national freedoms from Islam. In our free "Christian" nation we now have one of the greatest of apostasies and it isn't coming from those in Michigan. It is coming from the PDL junkies.
For me...it is about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything else is a smokescreen. We aren't going to get special seats around the throne because we were Americans, Canadians, Brits, Republicans or Democrats.
Sorry if I sound like I'm ranting. I just don't get this thread.
by sheri on Thu Mar 06, 2008 11:40 am
No, it is not part of God's plan , but Satan's for the world to fall under Islam's veil. God can only do good, and Islam is not for the good of His people.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
And we are not God's puppets, we have a choice- to let evil reign and overcome the Saints , or to fight against it. Do I think that putting Islamic food and goods into a Wal-Mart is the end of the world ? No, but it is one more step down the slippery slope of appeasement that will lead to our destruction, and it is a warning to us as Christians of what is to come. I don't believe God wants us to be passive and sit back when we see evil and say " OH well, it must be God's will" as life around us crumbles.
And again, please listen to the 12 part video I listed in the post above, to understand what exactly it is we are up against.
I believe Islam is the greatest threat that we will ever have to face.

Sheri,
Then how do we look at God's people who were exiled? Many died in exile away from their homes and native land. They lost their possessions and their freedom as they knew it. Was God not working for good when allowed them to be overtaken and exiled because of their sin?
Man decides what is fair based upon our human perspective. God decides what is just based upon His sovereign will and righteousness. I would respectfully disagree that Romans 8 supports "good" as men would define it.

Great new web site about "creeping sharia" in the West:
http://islamist-watch.org/
Middle East Forum Launches Islamist Watch Website
By Press Release: John Matthies (03/06/08)
PHILADELPHIA - Islamist-Watch, the website of the Middle East Forum's Islamist Watch project, is open for business.
Islamist Watch asserts that nonviolent radical Islam is more likely to alter the makeup of Western society over time than is terrorism. For while it is relatively easy to mobilize public opinion against terrorist groups, no institutions exist to counter the demands of non-violent extremists. Lawful Islamists lobby for legislation, influence curriculum and media content, advancing their agenda patiently, through non-violent means, bringing about fundamental changes in society. They also use "lawfare" (aggressive legal maneuvers) to close down academic, media, and political critics.
As a consequence, writes Daniel Pipes: "Quietly, lawfully, peacefully, Islamists do their work throughout the West to impose aspects of Islamic law, win special privileges for themselves, shut down criticism of Islam, create Muslim-only zones, and deprive women and non-Muslims of their full civil rights."
Recent examples of lawful Islamism include:
* Leading Muslim students in prayer at a public San Diego elementary school.
* Allowing cab drivers in Vancouver, B.C. to refuse certified guide dogs for reasons of religious conviction.
* Admonishing doctors and nurses in Scotland to refrain from eating in front of their Muslim patients and colleagues during the month of Ramadan.
* Proposing in the Netherlands that people of all faiths refer to God as Allah in order to "create more dialogue."
* The Archbishop of Canterbury's arguing that adopting elements of Shari'a law in Britain would benefit social cohesion.
* Allowing members of polygamous marriages to claim extra welfare benefits in Britain.
* Sponsoring a Muslim lifeguard program for the benefit of private female sessions at the city pool in Mississauga, Canada.
* Dropping Knorbert the piglet as mascot of Fortis Bank for fear of offending Muslims.
The website makes an original contribution to the study of lawful Islamism, and expands the project's reach by:
* Publishing original and commissioned work on the Islamist push in the West;
* Cataloguing, under "Creeping Dhimmitude," examples of the West's misguided efforts to accommodate radical Islam; and
* Posting research and updates relative to lawful Islamist organizations.
The website provides news concerning the Middle East Forum's Legal Project, established to protect in courts of law those researchers and analysts working on the topics of terrorism, terrorist funding, and Islamism.
Islamist Watch assistant director John Matthies says that "as radical Islam comes to rely on nonviolent means to impose an agenda and chill discussion, it is necessary to monitor Islamist groups full-time. The website will allow us to report our findings and serve as a resource on Islamist movements."
Middle East Forum director Daniel Pipes adds that "the Islamist Watch website will invite the public to better understand the threat posed by non-violent, political Islam to civil society and the rule of law."
Legal Project director Brooke Goldstein asserts: "The Islamist lawfare challenge poses a serious threat to our democratic freedoms. Should the voices of counter-terrorism researchers and activists be silenced, a real possibility exists that the criticism of radical Islam within our borders will end. The Islamist Watch website compliments our efforts to spread awareness about this threat and to publish updates on our wor

If there is a sizable enough population to justify private female sessions, then how could they be private if you had male lifeguards overseeing them? Ever hear of "adult swim"? How terrible to those kids to not allow them to use the pool! Our local pool is booked by private swim classes for many hours of the day. I'm just not sure I get the angle on the outrage here.

Home People Meet Prince Mateen the Prince of Brunei, his luxury life is beyond...
Meet Prince Mateen the Prince of Brunei, his luxury life is beyond imagination and people are stunned to see his super cars collection!
Qyshalini Nagalingam
The recent Southeast Asian Games (SEA), was extremely festive and grand. It is Southeast Asia’s biggest annual sporting event and it took place from August 19th to August 30th 2017 in Bukit Jalil National Stadium. It drew to a close by announcing Malaysia as the overall champion of the games.
The whole fiasco was exciting for both spectators and the athletes that came from all over the region to compete and display their sporting abilities. It also gave the media a chance to get to know the competitors who came from different parts of Southeast Asia. Among some of the athletes who caught people’s attention was the Bruneian prince, Prince Abdul Mateen, who competed in the polo event. He had managed to bag a bronze for his country of Brunei Darul Salam.
Many know him as being adept at playing polo but do not know how he lives in a life of luxury. The Brunei Royal Family is known to flaunt their wealth but not many can fathom to what extent the young prince lives in affluence.
1. Pet tigers
Prince Mateen loves animals, big cats in particular, so much so that he has his very own pet tiger cub.
2. The Brunei Royal Palace is the largest private residence in the world
The palace of Nurul Iman which is the place where Prince Mateen and his family is settled officially, is considered the largest private residence in the world.
The palace is reported to have 1,788 bedrooms, 257 bathrooms, banquet halls that are so spacious they can accommodate up to 5,000 guests, a mosque capable of accommodating 1,500 people, stables with air conditioning for 200 polo horses and 5 swimming pools

3. Luxury car collection
At one point, the Sultan Brunei car collection was composed of about 5,000 cars.
That is certainly an impressive fleet of luxury brand cars
4. Have a private residence in London
The Brunei royal family also owns a very expensive residences in central London, at St John’s Lodge in Regent’s Park!
5. Private aircraft
It is essential for royal families to have a private jet and the Brunei sovereign is no exception.
Though most air crafts look the same from the outside, it is the interior that sets the standards of luxury for the families who own them
Yes believe it or not, this is a bathroom in the plane! It has an extremely luxurious and rich interior which reflects the affluence of the Bruneian Royalty.

TOPICS OF THE WEEK
RABBI S. FELIX MENDELSOHN
In the death of Dr. Emil Gustav Hirsch on
January 7, at the age of 71, Chicago has lost
its most distinguished Jewish citizen, and the
reform rabbinate of America its most promi-nent
member. His rabbinical career lasted
forty-five years, more than forty-two of which
he spent in Chicago as minister of Sinai Con-gregation.
For this reason it can be readily
seen that the life of Dr. Hirsch was closely
bound up with the progress and development
of our comparatively young but ever growing
Jewish community. Indeed, Dr. Hirsch was
considered a very important Chicago Jewish
institution, and everywhere in the United
States, whenever people spoke of our Jewish
community, they immediately associated with
it the name of Dr. Hirsch. Many thousands
of people, both Jews and non-Jews would, upon
their periodic visits to Chicago, make it their
business to listen to one or more sermons of
this great preacher. But while Dr. Hirsch was
looked upon as the most representative local
Jewish citizen his life was most intimately
connected especially with Sinai Congregation,
upon which he looked as the child of his own
making. Sinai Temple thus became synony-mous
with Dr. Hirsch. We must bear in mind
that Sinai Congregation was founded in 1861,
so that it existed for only nineteen years pre-vious
to the call which it extended Dr. Hirsch
to occupy its pulpit, and he may therefore well
be considered the builder and moulder of this
great congregation. Only recently it came to
light that Dr. Hirsch was at one time invited
to become the spiritual head of Temple Emanu-
El of New York, the wealthiest Jewish congre-gation
in the world, but the flattering offer
from New York made no impression upon him.
His devotion to his work at Sinai was limitless,
for only two weeks before his death he preached
from his pulpit. Dr. Hirsch had not been in
good health for a number of years, and had it
been his wish his congregation would gladly
have long ago relieved him of his arduous du-ties
and retired him on a liberal pension; but he
preferred to die in the service of his beloved
congregation. Be it said to the credit of Sinai
that it has always been fully conscious of its
profound indebtedness to its great leader, and
perhaps more than any other congregation in
the country it has frequently displayed in a
concrete manner its love and admiration for its
rabbi. It has not only remunerated him gener-ously
for his services but in recent years it has
also held its annual meeting on his birthday.
Such loyal attachment of a congregation to its
minister is indeed very rare.
In his makeup Dr. Hirsch was a product of two
worlds, the old and the new, having imbibed
deeply the best of both. He was born in Ger-many,
came to this country at the age of four-teen,.
graduated from the University of Penn-p.
sylvania, and then returned to complete his
education at the universities of Berlin and Leip-zig
as well as at die Hochschule fuer die. Wis-senschaft
des Judentums, where he perfected
his rabbinical preparation. Dr. Hirsch was very
proud of his excellent German training. He was
considered by many the foremost German ora-tor
of the country, and in everything he did
there was evident the thoroughness of Ger-man
scholarship. However, it must be pointed
out that the greatest influence in Dr. Hirsch's
life was his father, the late Samuel Hirsch, a
German rabbi who for a number of years oc-cupied
the pulpit of Kenneseth Israel congre-gation
of Philadelphia. From his father he
inherited not only his natural faculties, his
keenness of intellect and his wonderful mem-ory,
but also his Jewish knowledge and, what
is most important, his Jewish weltanschaung,
or philosophy of life. Whenever he had the
opportunity Dr. Hirsch spoke feelingly of his
sainted father who was indeed a remarkable
personality. With Geiger and Holdheim, Sam-uel
Hirsch was a powerful champion of the
German reform movement which was later
transplanted to our shores. He was an original
thinker and his German works (especially his
"Religions Philosophie der Juden") are valu-able
contributions to Jewish thought. In his
philosophy Samuel Hirsch was a rationalist,
extolling pure relason as the supreme source of
human knowledge, and his idea he applied
rigorously to his religious outlook. Judaism,
Samuel Hirsch insisted, is not a law but a
philosophy which is adaptable to the moral
theories and intellectual standards of the times.
Remembering these principles we should not be
at all surprised to find him accepting the fun-damental
conclusions of Biblical criticism, for
he maintained that the stories of the Bible are
only legends conveying psychological allego-ries.
Orthodox Jewish customs and ceremonies
are therefore not binding upon the modern
Dr. Emil G. Hirsch
Jew who can include in his religious observ-ances
only such practices which possess an un-mistakable
meaning to him.
After realizing the paternal heritage in Dr.
Hirsch's character one can readily form an
appreciation and an understanding of his re-ligious
philosophy. Like his father, Dr. Hirsch
was primarily a rationalist, preaching the doe-trine
of the supremacy of the intellect and push-ing
emotion and faith to the background. Ju-daism,
Dr. Hirsch maintained, is a universalistic
religion which, because of its depth and broad-ness,
is able to satisfy the spiritual needs not
only of the modern Jew but also of the modern
man. Hence in order to perform its historic
mission and in order to exercise a dominant
influence in world thought, Judaism must
emerge from its sphere of petty orthodoxies
and preach to the world those fundamental
principles which alone make it the greatest re-ligion
in the world, said Dr. Hirsch. He thus
found it necessary and advisable to discard
many traditions so dear to the heart of the
orthodox Jew who accused him of undue radi-calism
and extremism. That Dr. Hirsch was
an extremist in his religious philosophy is be-yond
any doubt; his opponents, however, failed
to realize that this characteristic was an un-avoidable
concommittance to the historic role
which he played as the foremost champion of
reform in America. For this is human nature:
we begin with extremes and end with com-promises.
We doubt whether American re-form
will ever carry out Dr. Hirsch's theories
to the letter; nevertheless it is true that he
performed a significant function in preparing
American Judaism for its modern formulation
and expression. But while his opponents criti-cized
him constantly they always admired his
vast learning and great courage. Indeed he
was perhaps the most fearless minister in Amer-ica,
and it is no doubt this fact which made
him one of the very great Jewish preachers of
modern times. His conception of Judaism as
a universalistic philosophy made him an op-ponent
of political Zionism, a fact which in-creased
the number of his enemies. He was nev-ertheless
greatly interested in the cultural
phase of Zionism, and in recent years he began
to assume a more sympathetic attitude towards
the movement generally.
Because of his great erudition in both se-cular
and sacred lore, and because of his match-less
power and courage he found it a simple
matter to exercise a vast influence upon the
community in general and his congregation in
particular. He was especially serviceable to
Judaism in the respect which he gained among
the intellectual Jewish young men and women,
most of whom, on account of psychological rea-sons,
imagine that a college degree and Juda-ism
are irreconcilable. With the great power
of logic at his command Dr. Hirsch proved to
his hearers again and again that Judaism rep-resents
the highest intellectual baggage which
one can acquire during his life journey, and
that it is only ignorance which makes many
a Jew exchange his eternal heritage for a mess
of pottage. His knowledge of all the branches

That Dr. Hirsch was an extremist in his religious philosophy is be-yond any doubt; his opponents, however, failed to realize that this characteristic was an un-avoidable concommittance to the historic role which he played as the foremost champion of reform in America. For this is human nature: we begin with extremes and end with com-promises. We doubt whether American re-form will ever carry out Dr. Hirsch's theories to the letter; nevertheless it is true that he performed a significant function in preparing American Judaism for its modern formulation and expression. But while his opponents criti-cized him constantly they always admired his vast learning and great courage. Indeed he was perhaps the most fearless minister in Amer-ica, and it is no doubt this fact which made him one of the very great Jewish preachers of modern times. His conception of Judaism as a universalistic philosophy made him an op-ponent of political Zionism, a fact which in-creased the number of his enemies. He was nev-ertheless greatly interested in the cultural phase of Zionism, and in recent years he began to assume a more sympathetic attitude towards the movement generally. * * * Because of his great erudition in both se-cular and sacred lore, and because of his match-less power and courage he found it a simple matter to exercise a vast influence upon the community in general and his congregation in particular. He was especially serviceable to Judaism in the respect which he gained among the intellectual Jewish young men and women, most of whom, on account of psychological rea-sons, imagine that a college degree and Juda-ism are irreconcilable. With the great power of logic at his command Dr. Hirsch proved to his hearers again and again that Judaism rep-resents the highest intellectual baggage which one can acquire during his life journey, and that it is only ignorance which makes many a Jew exchange his eternal heritage for a mess of pottage. His knowledge of all the branches (Continued on page 33)

Migraine & paediatric obesity: a plausible link? p. 343
Sarit Ravid
Obesity and migraine are both highly prevalent disorders in the general population, influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. In recent studies, obesity was found to be a strong risk factor for transformed migraine and, among migraineurs, obesity was associated with frequent headaches and higher disability scores. Suggested mechanisms included: (i) obesity as a pro-inflammatory state may be associated with neurovascular inflammation in patients with migraine; (ii) elevated levels of plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in obese individuals may play a role as an important post-synaptic mediator of trigeminovascular inflammation in migraine; (iii) dismodulation in the hypothalamic neuropeptide, orexin, in obese persons may be associated with increased susceptibility to neurogenic inflammation causing migraine attacks; and (iv) leptin and adiponectin can activate proinflammatory cytokine release that is involved in the pathogenesis of migraine. In addition, both conditions are associated with psychiatric co-morbidities, such as depression and anxiety, that can further increase headache frequency and disability. Therefore, the effect of obesity on migraine outcome is important. Weight and BMI should be measured and calculated in all children presenting with migraine, and weight control should be a part of the treatment.
Cytogenomics of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) exposed cells: A comprehensive review p. 349
Akanksha Nigam, Shivam Priya, Preeti Bajpai, Sushil Kumar
The altered cellular gene expression profile is being hypothesized as the possible molecular basis navigating the onset or progress of various morbidities. This hypothesis has been evaluated here in respect of Cr 6+ induced toxicity. Several studies using gene microarray show selective and strategic dysregulations of cellular genes and pathways induced by Cr 6+ . Relevant literature has been reviewed to unravel these changes in different test systems after exposure to Cr 6+ and also to elucidate association if any, of the altered cytogenomics with Cr 6+ induced toxicity or carcinogenicity. The aim was to verify the hypothesis for critical role of altered cytogenomics in onset of Cr 6+ induced biological / clinical effects by identifying genes modulated commonly by the toxicant irrespective of test system or test concentrations / doses, and by scrutinizing their importance in regulation of the flow of mechanistically linked events crucial for resultant morbidities. Their probability as biomarkers to monitor the toxicant induced biological changes is speculative. The modulated genes have been found to cluster under the pathways that manage onset of oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis, cell-cycle regulation, cytoskeleton, morphological changes, energy metabolism, biosynthesis, oncogenes, bioenergetics, and immune system critical for toxicity. In these studies, the identity of genes has been found to differ remarkably; albeit the trend of pathways' dysregulation has been found to remain similar. We conclude that the intensity of dysregulation of genes or pathways involved in mechanistic events forms a sub-threshold or threshold level depending upon the dose and type (including speciation) of the toxicant, duration of exposure, type of target cells, and niche microenvironment of cells, and the intensity of sub-threshold or threshold level of the altered cytogenomics paves way in toxicant exposed cells eventually either to opt for reversal to differentiation and growth, or to result in toxicity like dedifferentiation and apoptosis, respectively.
Contribution of allelic variability in prostate specific antigen (PSA) & androgen receptor (AR) genes to serum PSA levels in men with prostate cancer p. 371
Sushant V Chavan, Anurupa Maitra, Nobhojit Roy, Padma R Chavan
Background & objectives: Wide variability in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels exists in malignant conditions of the prostate. PSA is expressed in normal range in 20 to 25 per cent of prostate cancer cases even in presence of high grade Gleason score. This study was aimed to assess the influence of genetic variants exhibited by PSA and androgen receptor (AR) genes towards the variable expression of PSA in prostate cancer. Methods: Pre-treatment serum PSA levels from 101 prostate cancer cases were retrieved from medical record. PSA genotype analysis in promoter region and AR gene microsatellite Cytosine/Adenine/Guanine (CAG) repeat analysis in exon 1 region was performed using DNA sequencing and fragment analysis techniques. Results: A total of seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PSA promoter region were noted. Only two SNPs viz., 158G/A (P<0.001) in the proximal promoter region and -3845G/A (P<0.001) in enhancer region showed significant association with serum PSA levels. The carriers of homozygous GG genotype (P<0.001) at both of these polymorphic sites showed higher expression of PSA whereas homozygous AA genotype (P<0.001) carriers demonstrated lower PSA levels. The combination effect of PSA genotypes along with stratified AR CAG repeats lengths (long, intermediate and short) was also studied. The homozygous GG genotype along with AR long CAG repeats and homozygous AA genotype along with AR short CAG repeats at position -3845 and -158 showed strong interaction and thus influenced serum PSA levels. Interpretation & conclusions: The genetic variants exhibited by PSA gene at positions -3845G/A and -158G/A may be accountable towards wide variability of serum PSA levels in prostate cancer. Also the preferential binding of G and A alleles at these polymorphic sites along with AR long and short CAG repeats may contribute towards PSA expression.
Lactobacillus GG for treatment of acute childhood diarrhoea: An open labelled, randomized controlled trial p. 379
Sunny Aggarwal, Amit Upadhyay, Dheeraj Shah, Neeraj Teotia, Astha Agarwal, Vijay Jaiswal
Background & objectives : 0 Randomized controlled trials in developed countries have reported benefits of Lactobacillus GG (LGG) in the treatment of acute watery diarrhoea, but there is paucity of such data from India. The study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lactobacillus GG in the treatment of acute diarrhoea in children from a semi-urban city in north India. Methods: In this open labelled, randomized controlled trial 2000 children with acute watery diarrhoea, aged between 6 months to 5 years visiting 0 outpatient department and emergency room of a teaching hospital in north India were enrolled. The children were randomized into receiving either Lactobacillus GG in dose of 10 billion cfu/day for five days or no probiotic medication in addition to standard WHO management of diarrhoea. 0 Primary outcomes were duration of diarrhoea and time to change in consistency of stools. Results : 0 Median (inter quartile range) duration of diarrhoea was significantly shorter in children in LGG group [60 (54-72) h vs. 78 (72-90) h; P<0.001]. Also, there was faster improvement in stool consistency in children receiving Lactobacillus GG than control group [36 (30-36) h vs. 42 (36-48) h; P<0.001]. There was significant reduction in average number of stools per day in LGG group (P<0.001) compared to the control group. These benefits were seen irrespective of rotavirus positivity in stool tests. Interpretation & conclusions : 0 Our results showed that the use of Lactobacillus GG in children with acute diarrhoea resulted in shorter duration and faster improvement in stool consistency as compared to the control group.
Unenhanced low-dose versus standard-dose CT localization in patients with upper urinary calculi for minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) p. 386
Jiang Licheng, Fan Yidong, Wang Ping, Yan Keqiang, Wang Xueting, Zhang Yingchen, Gao Lei, Ding Jiyang, Xu Zhonghua
Background & objectives: With the ethical concern about the dose of CT scan and wide use of CT in protocol of suspected renal colic, more attention has been paid to low dose CT. The aim of the present study was to make a comparison of unenhanced low-dose spiral CT localization with unenhanced standard-dose spiral CT in patients with upper urinary tract calculi for minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) treatment. Methods: Twenty eight patients with ureter and renal calculus, preparing to take MPCNL, underwent both abdominal low-dose CT (25 mAs) and standard-dose CT (100 mAs). Low-dose CT and standard-dose CT were independently evaluated for the characterization of renal/ureteral calculi, perirenal adjacent organs, blood vessels, indirect signs of renal or ureteral calculus (renal enlargement, pyeloureteral dilatation), and the indices of localization (percutaneous puncture angulation and depth) used in the MPCNL procedure. Results: In all 28 patients, low-dose CT was 100 per cent coincidence 100 per cent sensitive and 100 per cent specific for depicting the location of the renal and ureteral calculus, renal enlargement, pyeloureteral dilatation, adjacent organs, and the presumptive puncture point and a 96.3 per cent coincidence 96 per cent sensitivity and 93 per cent specificity for blood vessel signs within the renal sinus, and with an obvious lower radiation exposure for patients when compared to standard-dose CT (P<0.05). The indices of puncture depth, puncture angulation, and maximum calculus transverse diameter on the axial surface showed no significant difference between the two doses of CT scans, with a significant variation in calculus visualization slice numbers (P<0.05). Interpretation & conclusions: Our findings show that unenhanced low-dose CT achieves a sensitivity and accuracy similar to that of standard-dose CT in assessing the localization of renal ureteral calculus and adjacent organs conditions and identifying the maximum calculus transverse diameter on the axial surface, percutaneous puncture depth, and angulation in patients, with a significant lower radiation exposure, who are to be treated by MPCNL, and can be used as an alternative localization method.

Srinivas Rajagopala, Anantharaman Ramakrishnan, Ganapathi Bantwal, Uma Devaraj, Smrita Swamy, S Vageesh Ayyar, George D'Souza
Background & objectives: Suppressed adrenal responses associated with inhaled steroid use have been reported in patients with bronchiectasis and have been shown to be associated with poor quality of life. This study was undertaken to examine the prevalence of suppressed cortisol responses in stable bronchiectasis and determine their correlation with the use of inhaled corticosteroids, radiologic severity of bronchiectasis and quality of life (QOL) scores. Methods: In this case-control study, cases were patients with bronchiectasis and suppressed cortisol responses and controls were healthy volunteers, and patients with bronchiectasis without suppressed cortisol responses. Symptoms, lung function test values, exercise capacity, HRCT severity scores for bronchiectasis, exacerbations, inhaled corticosteroid use and quality of life scores were compared between patients with and without suppressed cortisol values. Results: Forty consecutive patients with bronchiectasis and 40 matched controls underwent 1-μg cosyntropin testing. Baseline cortisol (mean difference -2.0 μg/dl, P=0.04) and 30-minute stimulated cortisol (mean difference -3.73 μg/dl, P=0.001) were significantly lower in patients with bronchiectasis. One patient had absolute adrenal insufficiency and 39.5 per cent (15/38) patients with bronchiectasis had impaired stimulated responses. Baseline and stimulated cortisol responses were unaffected by inhaled steroids (O.R 1.03, P=0.96). SGRQ scores were negatively correlated with body mass (r= -0.51, P=0.001) and bronchiectasis severity (r=0.37, P=0.019), but not related to baseline or stimulated cortisol responses. Interpretation & conclusions: Our results showed that the impaired adrenal responses to 1-μg cosyntropin were common in patients with bronchiectasis. This was not associated with the use of inhaled steroids or severity of bronchiectasis. Poor health status was associated with advanced disease and not with cortisol responses to the 1-μg cosyntropin test.
Presence of depression & its risk factors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease p. 402
Harish Negi, Malay Sarkar, Amit D Raval, Krishna Pandey, Pradeep Das
Background & objectives: Although depression is a significant co-morbid condition in chronic illnesses, little is known about the prevalence or risk factors for depressive symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in India. This study was undertaken to investigate the presence and risk factors of depression in the COPD patients attending a tertiary care health facility in north India. Methods: COPD was classified according to GOLD stages based on forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) in 126 stable patients. Depression was examined by administering the nine-item Hindi version of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Linear regression model was used to examine association between predictor variables and risk of depression with adjustment of age and sex. Cronbach alpha was calculated to assess internal consistency of PHQ-9. Results: In the study population as whole, 33.3 per cent patients showed moderate to severe depressive symptoms whereas 20.6 per cent patients had major depressive disorder on PHQ-9 Scale. Educational and occupational status, body mass index, FEV 1 , respiratory symptoms, physical impairment and dyspnoea were found to be potential predictors of depression in COPD patients. Interpretation & conclusions: One fifth of the patients with COPD had severe symptoms of related to depression, which was especially higher with severity of COPD. Hence, the patients with COPD should focus on management of these two conditions. Further, future studies should be conducted to assess the role of depression management and timely treatment of it in patients with COPD.
Determinants of Indian physicians' satisfaction & dissatisfaction from their job p. 409
Meenakshi Sharma, Sonu Goel, Sharad Kumar Singh, Raman Sharma, Pramod K Gupta
Background & objectives: Physicians' satisfaction/dissatisfaction from their job is an important factor associated with health service that deals with human life. This study was conducted to ascertain overall level and proportion of physicians' satisfaction from their job as well as to identify those components that influenced it. Methods: A comprehensive customized questionnaire was used with Section A to assess demographic profile of physicians and Section B to assess satisfaction. Response to each question was devised using Likert scale. Likert scale responses were converted to normal scale so that statistical procedures could be naturally developed. A total of 170 physicians were selected using multistage sampling. Questionnaire was administered on one to one basis to avoid non-response. Precise and contextualized descriptive and inferential statistical procedures were used for analysis. Results: Of the 140 physicians, 103 (74%) were satisfied from their job with average score of 19.15 ± 11.46 while 37 (26%) were dissatisfied with average score -09.27 ± 06.30. Nine out of 15 components were found significant (P<0.05). Conclusions: Comparative assessment of the present results with those of other studies revealed that satisfaction percentage of Indian physicians and those of the developed countries were almost the same. Perhaps, magnitude of satisfaction level (average score) of the Indian physicians were towards the lower side. Nine determinants, identified in this study can be used safely to assess any professionals' satisfaction.

Tanushree Dangi, Bhawana Jain, Ajay Kumar Singh, Madan Mohan, Mukesh Dwivedi, JV Singh, Rashmi Kumar, KP Singh, MS Chaddha, AC Mishra, Amita Jain
Background & objectives: During the post influenza pandemic period, continuous surveillance of influenza virus and its subtypes is mandatory to help the policy makers to take effective and appropriate decisions. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the pattern of influenza virus activity in context to various meteorological and clinical parameters in and around Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, during post pandemic period August 2010 - September 2012. Methods: Nasal swabs/throat swabs/nasopharyngeal aspirates of 2669 patients were collected. One-step real time PCR for detection of influenza virus was done according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocol. Results: Influenza positivity was 15.8 per cent (423/2669) in symptomatic patients. Of the 423 total positives, 192 (7.2%) were influenza A and 231 (8.7%) were influenza B. Positivity for influenza virus was significantly (P=0.001, OR=2.9, CI=1.9-4.3) higher in patients with Influenza like illness (ILI) (17.4%, 396/2271) than those with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) (6.8%, 27/398). Influenza A positive samples were subtyped as; pdmH1N1 (67.2%, 129/192) and seasonal H3N2 (32.8%, 63/192). It significantly correlated with monthly mean rainfall, humidity and dew point while atmospheric pressure was inversely related. No significant association was found with temperature and wind speed. Clinical variations were observed between different strains of Influenza virus. Interpretation & conclusions: The findings provide a clear picture of different clinical presentations of various strains of influenza A and B viruses and epidemiology of influenza infection from Lucknow (UP), India. The seasonality of influenza virus infection showed variation in relation to different environmental factors. Pandemic H1N1 caused more systemic infection than seasonal influenza A/H3N2 virus.
Impact of hepatitis B immunization among the Nicobarese tribe - antibody titres & seroprotection five years after vaccination p. 427
AP Sugunan, Haimanti Bhattacharya, Debdutta Bhattacharya, A Mandal, SR Ghosal, RC Rao, AK Mandal
Background & objectives: A total of 237 Nicobarese subjects who had received hepatitis B vaccination as part of mass vaccination project during 2000-2001 were screened for anti-HBsAg titres by quantitative ELISA five years after vaccination. Methods: Anti-HBsAg antibody was estimated using quantitative ELISA. Proportion of the subjects with protective levels of antibody and geometric mean antibody titres were calculated. Results: Among the 237 study subjects, 213 had received three doses of vaccine, 17 had received two doses and seven had received one dose. The geometric mean titres of anti-HBs antibodies were 201.7, 31.9 and 23.1 mIU/ml among those who received three, two and one dose of vaccine, respectively. Among those who received three doses of vaccination, 85.9 per cent had anti-HBs antibody levels of 10 mIU/ml or more, indicating seroprotection. The difference in the seroprotection rates among those who received three doses of vaccination (85.9%) and those who received less than three doses (58.3%) was significant. Seroprotection rates one month after the first, second and third dose of vaccination were 49.1, 86.9 and 96.7 per cent, respectively. It then declined to 89 per cent by the end of the second year and to 85.5 per cent by the end of the third year, but there was no decline thereafter. Interpretation & conclusions: Seroprotection rate reached at the maximum one month after the third dose of HBV vaccine. Although about 15 per cent of the vaccinated persons lost seroprotection by the end of the third year, no further loss in seroprotection was observed between the third year and the fifth year.

Shivaprakash M Rudramurthy, Prasanna Honnavar, Sunil Dogra, Prakash P Yegneswaran, Sanjeev Handa, Arunaloke Chakrabarti
Background & objectives: Malassezia species implicated with dandruff vary at different geographical locations. The present study was conducted to determine the spectrum and distribution of Malassezia species in dandruff patients and healthy individuals. Methods: Patients with dandruff from northern (Chandigarh) and southern (Manipal, Karnataka) parts of India (50 each) and healthy individuals (20) were included in the study. Dandruff severity was graded as mild, moderate and severe. Malassezia spp. isolated were quantified and identified by phenotypic characters and molecular methods including PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing. Results: Number of Malassezia spp. retrieved was significantly higher (P<0.001) in dandruff cases (84%) as compared to healthy individuals (30%). Isolation of Malassezia spp. was significantly higher (P<0.01) in patients from southern India. In moderately severe cases M. restricta was single most predominant (37.8%) isolate from patients of northern part of India and M. furfur (46.4%) from patients of southern part of India. Malassezia density was significantly associated with the severity of dandruff (P<0.001). Interpretation & conclusions: Our results on a limited number of individuals show that Malassezia spp. associated with dandruff varies in different regions of the country and the density of yeasts increases with severity of disease.
Antibiotic susceptibilities, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin gene profiles among clinical isolates of group C or G Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis & of group G S. anginosus group at a tertiary care centre p. 438
Bijayini Behera, Purva Mathur, Nidhi Bhardwaj, Neetu Jain, MC Misra, Arti Kapil, Sarman Singh
Background & objectives: Group C and group G streptococci (together GCGS) are often regarded as commensal bacteria and their role in streptococcal disease burden is under-recognized. While reports of recovery of GCGS from normally sterile body sites are increasing, their resistance to macrolides, fluoroquinolone further warrants all invasive β haemolytic streptococci to be identified to the species level and accurately tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence, clinical profile, antimicrobial susceptibility and streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin gene profile (speA, speB, speC, speF, smeZ, speI, speM, speG, speH and ssa) of GCGS obtained over a period of two years at a tertiary care centre from north India. Methods: The clinical samples were processed as per standard microbiological techniques. β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) were characterized and grouped. Antimicrobial susceptibility of GCGS was performed using disk diffusion method. All GCGS were characterized for the presence of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (spe) and spe genes were amplified by PCR method. Results: GCGS (23 GGS, 2GCS) comprised 16 per cent of β haemolytic streptococci (25/142 βHS, 16%) isolated over the study period. Of the 25 GCGS, 22 (88%) were recovered from pus, two (8%) from respiratory tract, whereas one isolate was recovered from blood of a fatal case of septicaemia. Of the total 23 GGS isolates, 18 (78%) were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp equisimilis (SDSE, large-colony phenotype), five (21%) were Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG, small-colony phenotype). The two GCS were identified as SDSE. All GCGS isolates were susceptible to penicillin, vancomycin, and linezolid. Tetracycline resistance was noted in 50 per cent of SDSE isolates. The rates of macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance in SDSE were low. Twelve of the 20 SDSE isolates were positive for one or more spe genes, with five of the SDSE isolates simultaneously carrying speA+ speB+ smeZ+ speF or speB+ smeZ+speF, speI+speM+speG+speH or, speI+spe M+speH or speA+ speB+ speC+ smeZ+ speF. One notable finding was the presence of spe B in four of the five isolates of the Streptococcus anginosus group. No isolate was positive for ssa. Interpretation & conclusions: Our study showed no association between GCGS isolates harbouring streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins and disease severity. This might be attributed to the small sample size of spe-positive isolates.
Attenuation of quorum sensing controlled virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by cranberry p. 446
Kusum Harjai, Ravi Kumar Gupta, Himanshi Sehgal
Background & objectives: Emergence of antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has led to the search for alternative agents for infections control. Natural products have been a good alternative to present antibiotics. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of cranberry in attenuation of virulence of P. aeruginosa in experimental urinary tract infection (UTI) in mouse model. Efforts were also directed to explore the action of cranberry towards virulence of P. aeruginosa through quorum sensing (QS) inhibition. Methods: Efficacy of cranberry was evaluated in an experimental UTI mouse model and on production of QS signals, alginate, pyochelin, haemolysin, phospholipase-C, cell-surface hydrophobicity, uroepithelial cell-adhesion assay and biofilm formation by already standardized methods. Results: Presence of cranberry showed significant decline in the production of QS signals, biofilm formation and virulence factors of P. aeruginosa in vitro (P<0.001). Further, cranberry was found to be useful in prevention of experimental UTI in mouse model as indicated by reduced renal bacterial colonization and kidney tissues destruction. Interpretation & conclusions: The findings of the present study indicated that cranberry inhibited QS and hence elaboration of virulence factors of P. aeruginosa. It also affected the adherence ability of this pathogen. This approach can lead to the discovery of new category of safe anti-bacterial drugs from dietary sources such as cranberry with reduced toxicity without the risk of antibiotic resistance.
Clinical profile & outcome of H1N1 infected pregnant women in a tertiary care teaching hospital of northern India p. 454
Seema Singhal, Nivedita Sarda, Renu Arora, Nikky Punia, Anil Jain
Background & objectives: H1N1 influenza is a recognized cause of febrile respiratory infection worldwide. There are not many studies to show its impact on pregnancy. In the present study we aimed to assess clinical characteristics, obstetric and perinatal outcome of pregnant women with H1N1 infection. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital in New Delhi, India. A total of 24 pregnant women microbiologically positive for H1N1 were included. Maternal characteristics and outcome were recorded. Perinatal outcome which was defined as presence of any of the indicators such as abortion, preterm delivery, intrauterine death and neo natal death was noted. Results: The mean age of the study group was 25.2 ± 3 yr with a mean gestational age of 34.9 ± 4.6 wk. Six patients (25%) had associated co-morbidities. Nine patients (37.5%) presented within 48 h of onset of symptoms and 15 (62.5%) reported after 48 h. In 17 (70.83%) patients treatment was delayed by >48 h. ICU admission was needed in 20.8 per cent patients and mortality rates was 8.3 per cent. There were seven cases of adverse perinatal outcome. Interpretation & conclusions: The presenting symptoms of pregnant women with H1N1 were similar to that of general population. Acquiring infection in late trimester, late initiation of antiviral treatment and presence of co-morbid illness were high risk factors for developing critical illness. Pregnant women with suspected H1N1 influenza should be started on antiviral therapy at the earliest. This is likely to help reduce the ICU admission rates and mortalities in this group of women.
Demographics of animal bite victims & management practices in a tertiary care institute in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India p. 459
NJ Gogtay, A Nagpal, A Mallad, K Patel, SJ Stimpson, A Belur, UM Thatte
Background & objectives: Rabies is an important public health problem worldwide and more than 55,000 people die annually of the disease. The King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, is a tertiary referral centre where a rabies clinic runs 24 hours. In view of lack of information about the demographics of the disease in an urban environment the present study was carried out. Methods: Data on 1000 consecutive animal bite victims presenting to the institute in 2010 were collected over a 15 wk period. An electronic database was specially created for capturing information and was modelled on the information available from the WHO expert consultation on rabies, 2005. Economic burden from the patients' perspective was calculated using both direct and indirect costs. Results: The victims were largely males (771 subjects). The dog was the major biting animal (891, 89.1%).Bites were mainly of Category III (783, 78.3%). One twenty three subjects used indigenous treatments only for local wound care. Of the Category III bites, only 21 of 783 (2.7%) patients were prescribed human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) which was primarily for severe bites or bites close to or on the face. A total of 318 patients did not complete the full Essen regime of the vaccine. The median cost to the patient per bite was ` 220 (3.5 USD). Interpretation & conclusions: Our findings showed that the use of HRIG was low with less than 2 per cent of the Category III patients being prescribed it. As vaccine and HRIG continue to remain expensive, the intradermal vaccine, shorter regimes like the Zagreb regime and monoclonal antibodies may offer safer and cost-effective options in the future. Further studies need to be done in different parts of the country.
A cfr-positive clinical staphylococcal isolate from India with multiple mechanisms of linezolid-resistance p. 463
Vineeth Rajan, Vijay Gowdara Shankarappa Kumar, Shubha Gopal
Background & objectives: Linezolid, a member of the oxazolidinone class of antibiotics, has been an effective therapeutic option to treat severe infections caused by multidrug resistant Gram positive bacteria. Emergence of linezolid resistant clinical strains is a serious issue in the healthcare settings worldwide. We report here the molecular characterization of a linezolid resistant clinical isolate of Staphylococcus haemolyticus from India. Methods: The species of the clinical isolate was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of linezolid, clindamycin, chloramphenicol and oxacillin were determined by E-test method. To elucidate the mechanism of linezolid-resistance, presence of cfr gene (chloramphenicol florfenicol resistance) and mutations in 23S rRNA and ribosomal proteins (L3, L4 and L22) were investigated. Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing was performed by multiplex PCR. Results: The study documented a rare clinical S. haemolyticus strain with three independent mechanisms of linezolid-resistance. The strain carried cfr gene, the only known transmissible mechanism of linezolid-resistance. The strain also possessed resistance-conferring mutations such as G 2576 T in domain V of 23S rRNA gene and Met 156 Thr in L3 ribosomal protein. The other ribosomal proteins (L4 and L22) did not exhibit mutations accountable for linezolid-resistance. Restriction digestion by NheI revealed that all the alleles of 23S rRNA gene were mutated. The isolate showed elevated MIC values (>256 ΅g ml -[1] of linezolid, clindamycin, chloramphenicol and oxacillin. Methicillin resistance was conferred by type I SCCmec element. The strain also harboured lsa(B) gene which encodes an ABC transporter that can efflux clindamycin. Interpretation & conclusions: The present study reports the first clinical strain from India with transmissible and multiple mechanisms of linezolid-resistance. Judicious use of linezolid in clinical practice and proper surveillance of cfr-positive strains are of utmost importance to safeguard the efficacy of linezolid.

The Cowboy is the iPhone of E-Bikes – we have tried it
Thomas Channeton
The Cowboy Bike is a piece of art promises: It looks incredibly good, is totally connected and will still work in everyday life is largely maintenance – and trouble-free. “We want to make a beautiful wheel,” said Cowboy co-founder and CEO, Adrien Roose to the star. “We want to sell Bikes to exciting price and added value in terms of connectivity.”
In the summer of 2015 Adrian Roose, founded with two partners in the company. “Our idea was: We wanted to contribute something to the urban mobility. What, exactly, we did not know. But you can’t get past E-Bikes. Unfortunately we understood from the Bicycle industry and bicycles anything at all. We were complete novices. We have googled, then we went to fairs and talked with the manufacturers.”
Cowboy Bike minimalist and functional Fullscreen
The interruption of the frame because the belt sits invisibly in the top of the strut.
The founders quickly recognized that older people have been the Early adopters for the new technology E-Bike. The gap in the market for a Newcomer are the younger buyers, because in this group, the major manufacturer of pre-work.
Design is the key
The key, in order to gain their attention is the Design. The frame of the Cowboys reminds you of a sporty City-Racer. The battery sits in the saddle-rod, and it is hardly possible to identify the Motor in the rear hub is also not larger or more prominent than a hub. The Cowboy can hardly be as an E-Bike. To do this, it is “cleared”, the cables run in the frame. There is also no ugly control unit sits on the stem. “As one of the first things we decided, no Screen on the bike to grow, but to use the Smartphone of the people,” says Roose.

The Cowboy is controlled via an App. If you like, you can attach the Smartphone on the bike. Beautiful and practical it will be, if the Smartphone stays in the pocket. Front and rear lights are integrated in the frame. Here, too, visible cables and the mounting adapter are omitted. On top of that, the rear, red light acts as the brake light.
The Cowboy does not have a circuit, as a result, the Cockpit looks even tidier. Finally, there is neither cable nor switch unit on the Handlebar. “The support works automatically. The torque Sensor sits in the engine, the degree of support is chosen automatically.” The power transfer to the pedals is effected by means of a belt, the power of the engine sets in the rear wheel. The wheel therefore does not require a greasy chain grease.
App controls the wheel
the control center of the Cowboys is an App. An App that sounds today not so special. In the case of bicycles, the decision for an App, however, has major consequences. Who wants a apps to inflation, currently can not use any System of the big players. “Most manufacturers buy ready-made drive systems such as the Bosch. We did not want to. We have started from the front and have been concentrating on the electronics and the connectivity.”
With the App, you can have routes and functions. But it need not be. The Cowboy can use without having to take the Phone in the Hand. The App also acts as a theft protection. It is only through the Bluetooth pairing, the wheel is unlocked. The bike should be stolen, or you just forgot where it was parked, the Cowboy by App to track it, because it has its own Sim card – first of all, it is tracked by GPS, in the vicinity via Bluetooth.
in the light of the national epidemic Fahrradklau however, we think that you should connect the wheel but better.
Interview, traditional brand Kalkhoff “This is embarrassing, but also a Manager to rise today on an e-bike” By Gernot Kramper
With the Sim-card is connected, the Cowboy always. Technical problems with the wheel are transmitted to the Server, at the same time, you always get the latest Software for the control of the wheel – the System updates itself. “Just before we arrived here, our Test Bike-an Update,” explains Roose. In our opinion, this is a great advantage. For such Upgrades, you have to go for the big manufacturers to a contract partner that plays the Update, then, for a suitable fee. You can’t continue with the Cowboy, it’s via Chat, expert help.
low-maintenance concept
The wheel was constructed so that as little as possible maintenance. There should be a Problem, there are already more than 100 local Partner for a repair in Germany. “We have completed the last year of our Proof-of-Concept. In Belgium, since it’s raining just as much as in Germany. After that, we have fixed a couple of problems. Since then, our Controller is fully sealed for moisture.” A very important point for a design wheel of the battery. “Our wheel is to be not only beautiful, but also easy to use – so you have to be able to take out the battery. That was in Design is not easy, but we wanted to.”
the first driving impression of the Cowboy-Bikes
looking Good is one thing – but more important is: How does the Bike? The Cowboy looks uncompromisingly, but far more comfortable than the sporty Look of suggests. The basic posture is slightly leaning forward. The Arm is not sitting but not so deep as in the case of a real Racer. To dislocate even without the neck, it keeps the road in view. Also the coats are bigger than the rims suggest. Although the wheel has no suspension, springs and the rubbers but the biggest shock away. Of course, it remains a City-bike – for bottomless sand trails and rough cobblestones was built, the wheel.
The Cowboy is a Single-Speed wheel. Otherwise, the combination of belt drive and Motor in the hub of the rear wheel also do not realize could be. Surprisingly, not much of a difference in approach can be observed compared to a wheel with a circuit. The different implementation of a gear shift compensates for the Cowboy due to an intelligent control of the motor support. Well, to Start off with a seven percent slope is easily possible.
Overall, the wheel comes close to the Ideal of a imperceptible support. The engine pushes strongly, but you don’t hear him and there is no jerk at the Onset of the support. The drive Out from the support area does not happen gently, it’s like a rubber wall. The comparatively low weight of only 16 kilograms, reminds me more of a muscle-powered Bike.
Faster than
on top of that, the Cowboy offers a Feature in the legal grey zone. In the Road the wheel as all the other Pedelecs is limited strictly to 25 km/h, but there is also a mode for paths outside of the scope of the highway code. Then the Cowboy up to a speed of 30 supports. Large manufacturers do not offer a back door. To be fair, one must mention, however, that it is very easy to bypass the speed lock of a Bosch mid-engine complete, and likely to be of the Cowboy is hardly possible. Who wants to illegally drive a Tempo of 40, is likely to have the Cowboy out of luck. For quick Progress in the city of the Cowboy is ideal.
Important: The wheel is only supplied in one frame size. According to the Website it should fit for body sizes from 165 to 195 centimeters. Our impression: Between 175 and 187 centimetres to the right. At 183 centimetres, the Cowboy fit pretty perfectly. Smaller people need to know whether you are going with the straight posture to be happy. Above 190 centimeters, we are more skeptical.
Design wheel with back door
Anyone interested in a Cowboy, will be thrilled by the Design. We liked that you can vary the wheel yet. It is possible that the wheel with Luggage rack (rear) and mud flaps. It has its own protection are to be developed in sheets, but in the market there are numerous models that blend beautifully with the Design.
Because the Cowboy is in the default tone matte black, components can be individually adapted. You could mount a tilted, or a wider or bent Handlebars. Or the seatpost and replace it with a steamed or height-adjustable model. A wheel should break, you could replace easily.
Urban Bike Canyon Commuter, The super chic Hipster wheel Of Gernot Kramper
All of this will be very difficult, if a wheel such as the Canyon continues Commuter on a special color, such as Gunmetal. In comparison to many design wheels with E-drive, the Cowboy is a killer feature: The battery is integrated behind the saddle rod and can be removed. Some send wheels to make the battery in the invisible. But this is the only way, it is possible that wheel off in a basement and the battery in the apartment to recharge.
Our conclusion to the Cowboy
The Cowboy is a practice-oriented Design wheel. The design concept is still relatively open, so that individual adjustments are possible. In the urban environment, the sporty wheel is ideal. For long tours, off-road driving or mountain Biking, it is not made.
a Direct competitor of the Cowboys, the wheels of VanMoof, which are also distributed over the Internet. During the presentation, the VanMoof was celebrated with enthusiasm, we were not thrilled because of the rather low-quality components, in spite of the great Designs.
in fact, the Cowboy makes everything better, what we have at the time, the VanMoof criticized. A typical example of this is that the second attempt succeeds and sometimes better. The belt drive speaks for itself, the Cowboy has a brake, a high-performance hydraulic Disc. Even the grips are from Brooks. Here was not stingy on the components, in order to Finance the fancy frame. The Motor in the rear wheel is conceptually always better than a drive of the front wheel. But, above all, the battery can be taken out. In the City is a basic requirement for a practical operation. In addition, the Cowboy is a 1999 Euro is also significantly cheaper.
compared To a “normal” E-Bike there are two disadvantages. The Cowboy is not suitable for unpaved roads. For really long trips, and you are not equipped with the 360-WH battery instead of the usual 500 WH. Only enough for about 50 kilometers.

We Need a Medic! (Again)
July 31, 2014 Rob B 4 comments
When searching through my figures for new subjects, I often come across items that I’ve already covered. Sometimes I look at them and think they deserve more exposure, or I just feel the need to talk about them again. Such is the case with this figure. The Medi-Viper is a character that will be familiar to the Marvel comic readers
Barrel Roll (2003)
Barrel Roll is one of the coolest figures of its time. What? Yes. How much cooler can you get in a GI Joe line when a new character not only starts an intriguing storyline, but also includes a disguisable vehicles? To start off, Barrel Roll introduced a new specialty that’s interesting, a high altitude sniper. The concept is simple, and
Captivating Cover – Operation: Night Flight
I used to love Night Flight, with its eclectic mix of music videos, old-timey short films and just plain oddness. It’s too bad such a thing doesn’t exist any longer, and probably won’t ever again. I long for the golden age of cable TV, a time before an endless mess of instantly available viewing material was available at one’s fingertips.
Razor Trooper (2004)
No, it’s not the code name for the Cobra barber. Instead it’s a trooper based upon another named Cobra agent. Razorclaw was an individual released during Valor vs. Venom, and as such, had been genetically modified by Dr. Mindbender. Surprisingly, the man was given his own cadre of troops to lead, all of whom shared a similar uniform and weaponry.

Belt Buckle Week – Day 6: Cobra Class of ’87
The Bad Guys got in on the action in a big way in 1987. These are some seriously bodacious buckles, people. I suppose the villains are expected to be more ostentatious, but this year seems to eclipse them all in terms of style. I would expect a yahoo like Raptor to go all out with theme imagery, and he’s no
Belt Buckle Week – Day 5: Razor Trooper (2004)
So if wearing one cool belt buckle is good, then wearing two must be even better. However, the Razor Trooper from 2004 apparently couldn’t make up his mind. He was available in two different (well, slightly) two packs: one with Neurotoxin and one with Sand Scorpion. If you bought one pack, you’d get a figure with two belts, but if
Belt Buckle Week – Day 4: Armadillo (1988)
One of the most undercooked GI Joe uniform designs gave rise to an impressive belt buckle. It’s the sort of thing you’d expect to see on a cowboy type, with a longhorn skull emblazoned across it. The fancy buckle actually works within the confines of the design of the figure’s lower extremities. Up top, he’s fairly plain, including his decidedly
Belt Buckle Week – Day 3: Sigma 6 Shipwreck
I just couldn’t leave the brand’s most forgotten and oft-ridiculed segment out of this week-long celebration of all this buckle-ish. Shipwreck naturally lends himself to seafaring imagery, and it’s no surprise that an anchor would make several appearances upon his person. The decorative buckle, however, is a change for the Sigma 6 line. Most of the series’ figures were equipped
Belt Buckle Week – Day 2: Grunt (1983)
Even the military gets in on the buckle act sometimes, and fancy schmancy buckles have been de rigeur in armies for centuries. They inform friend and foe alike of one’s affiliation and even rank. At other times in history they existed only to look dandy. It’s no surprise then that a colorful group like the GI Joe team would be

Mr Gordon Ross and his agent will be present to answer questions that are put to Western Ferries Ltd. Mr Ross has assured me that “a visualisation of the new piles and the berthed ferry” will be made available to view in the first week of January 2019, and ahead of the meeting.
Kilmun Community Council will be adopting an apolitical stance regarding this meeting and the planning application
Posters will be produced and distributed in the area and this information will also be emailed to the extensive Shore Collaboration distribution list.
Councillor Alan Reid informed the committee that the application for the Ardtaraig wind farm, which had been expected to be submitted on The 19th December, has now been deferred to February. Because of the level of objections received to date it is expected that the application may be referred to the Scottish Government.
Liaison/communication with other local organisations / groups Festive Lunch
The festive lunch will take place on Friday 14th December @ The Younger Hall @12 for 12.30. Organisation is going well with lots of good co-operation from most of the local groups. All welcome.
A new ‘state of art’ defibrillator has been purchased and will replace the defibrillator currently at the Younger Hall Kilmun. It also comes with a training video explaining its use.
The Shore Sweepers visited Bute in Bloom Group to see the work that was happening there. They were shown around all their projects including the greenhouses where ABC gets their plants. This can be visited by the public, which most people didn’t know. The Shore Sweepers were also very interested in the work the Bute Group are doing on painting the very ornate lampposts and the railings along their shore. This is work that the Shore Sweepers would like to do here next year and have applied to ABC to supply the paint. All in all a very good trip for co-operation across our communities. The Bute Group also spoke about the public perception that the work being done was being done by the council. We also sent them some copies of the Shore Directory, which they were interested in.
One of the pots at Kilmun Church has had to be removed as it had completely rotted.
The Shore Sweepers won the judges vote at the recent Christmas tree competition at The Younger Hall.
A shore sweep is to be held tomorrow across from the Strone Inn. Everyone is to be encouraged to spend a little time picking up rubbish on a shoreline nearest to where they live. There is a lot of plastic rubbish swept up onto our shores esp. after the recent storms.

GH asked what happened to the rubbish that we put in our recycle bins. Alan Reid will get more information on this.
Bob, although not present at the meeting, emailed the following report:
“Not too much to report from a NP perspective, relative to this patch, though it might be worth noting that:
“- As regards the Western Ferries planning application for Kilmun Pier, some, slow progress has been made. At a meeting held last week, the applicants were fully advised about the need for a photomontage to be prepared - this won't be available until early in the new year. They will also update and amend their Supporting Statement with more detail about the need, design and operation of the facility. Once this is available a further period will be provided for comments/consideration from the wider public. All the latest and updated drawings are available on the NP's web pages - lochlomond-trossachs.org.
- A couple of other, unrelated (distant!) planning issues, just for information, it was reported at the NP Board yesterday that all outstanding Reserved Matters regarding the Cononish Gold Mine application had been resolved - work expected to start next year and, the Authority has now received a full application relating to the restoration of Cameron House Hotel.
- The Core Path Plan consultation is now 'live' on the NP web site.
- Repair works on the footbridges etc. at Glenbranter are underway - though, I believe they may have been delayed due to weather related issues, not surprisingly.
- Finally, I was elected to the Depute Chair of Planning and Access Committee at yesterday's NP Board; the Chair will be Councillor Ellen Morton (an Argyll and Bute Council representative).
At a recent meeting of the BKCDT there was a change, because of a resignation, in the chair of the group. The chair is now Janet Holm.
The new heavy-duty plastic bench has been placed at Graham’s Point. It still has to be moved into position.
There is a lot of work to been done towards the heritage trail and a lot of interest from several stakeholders e.g. NP, ABC and Forestry Commission. It was suggested that the best way forward to include many of our local groups including the community councils in the discussions and planning.
It was also suggested that BKCDT apply for funding for this year to April of £500 from ACHA. If successful this could be used to get activity equipment for Graham’s Point.
GH reported for BVT that the trust had been unsuccessful in obtaining a grant from the land fund to be used to try and purchase Highgate Lodge.
BVT will be making the sandwiches for the Festive lunch on Friday.
Sue Morris was not able to attend the meeting but sent a email to say that at present she is very busy selling Christmas trees at two locations and wishes us all a lovely Christmas and will see us all in the new year.
RH reported that a Burns Lunch would be held in the hall on the 21st January - £15 including wine.
Work is progressing well with the replacement stained glass windows.
The dry rot in the building is going to be treated by exposing the timbers to air and heat.
Report from the Blairmore Hall committee
As most people will be aware Blairmore Hall has a voluntary committee elected annually at an AGM in May and made up of people representing the groups who use the hall as well as interested Blairmore Residents.
In the run up to the Hall Meeting on Sunday 18th November it became apparent that a small group attending one of the regular activities in the hall were unhappy about the plans the Committee were working towards in improving and redeveloping the Hall, to make it fit for the 21st Century.
Although there have been many consultations regarding the redevelopment this small group were not aware of all the facts, but despite this continued to push the matter which had already been put on the agenda for the next Committee. Again, despite this Trustees continued to receive a barrage of email correspondence from two community members implying criticism and dissatisfaction with the way the Trustees were progressing towards the hall redevelopment.
At the Committee meeting discussion on this Agenda Item, the three Trustees - Chairperson Pam Horton, Treasurer Pauline Horton and the Secretary Isobel Brown said that they had decided to call EGM and stand down at that meeting as a result of the perceived lack of appreciation and understanding from some Community Members.
Consequently, an Extra-ordinary General Meeting has been called on Sunday 13th January at 10.00 in the Hall to confirm membership of the Committee and to elect a new Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and bookings Secretary. This meeting is open to all Blairmore Residents and regular group attendees.
A request was made that a note be put into the KCC website thanking people for their donations to the Blairmore Hall clock restoration fund and noting that the clock is now in fine working order.
A new addition to our agenda. Will be added to later.
See Councillor Reid’s report.
Unfortunately, it would appear that the issues that were meant to be raised at this meeting about local issues was not done.
No meeting until the New Year
R H /GH – Peter Staley’s solicitor has the paperwork ready now. A question was asked when the group could start to apply for funding. As a constitution will be available they could apply now.
Councillor Reid to write again to ask about progress.
Councillor Reid said that ABC is doing a review of toilet provision throughout the authority. He will make enquiries of what this entails.
Graham Thomson said that a quotation had been done of the cost involved to raise the hall to modern standards. This is estimated to be between £400,000 to £600,000. This would involve the demolition and reinstatement of the extension at the back and correctly the water ingress into the hall. It will probably be proposed that a meeting of the community will be called to raise the current issues
The hall costs £2000 a year in insurance.
Fraser Smith said that Openreach were to update some properties that had been missed in the initial super fast installation in Kilmun in Quarter 4. He will check if the property of Lachie McQuarie is included.
JH said that the bin at the car park at Kilmun Church had been removed from its holder. This will be reported on ABC website feedback.
Place: Younger Hall, KIlmun
Date: Tuesday 8th January at 7.30pm.

Preview: Melbourne Victory FC vs Daegu FC
Muyeol Jung March 04, 2019 read ( words)
2018 Korean FA Cup Champions Daegu FC are about to make their ACL debut on 5th March against Champions League stalwarts ACL Melbourne Victory. Daegu FC Columnist Muyeol Jung and Asian football expert Paul Williams sat down to discuss what can be expected from the first ever meeting between the two teams.
Paul Williams Asks, Muyeol Jung Answers
Paul Williams: What is the feeling among the Daegu fans, do you think the club have a squad that is strong enough and deep enough to compete on two fronts in the K League 1 and ACL?
Muyeol Jung: The Daegu fans are really happy with the fact that the team are in the Asian Champions League for the first time, but they are keen for the team to get some positive results on the road. However, whether Daegu have a strong enough squad to fight on both fronts is something Daegu fans are worried about at the moment.
This year’s Daegu’s starting lineup appears to be as strong as last year’s because there were no significant changes. However, there are still doubts in regards to the depth of the squad. Like last year, the bench offers few options to Daegu, but Andre has faith in young players with potential who will eventually step up to help the team.
PW: How do you think Daegu will tactically approach this game? Will they be more defensive away from home, or will they attack the game?
MJ: With Brazilian gaffer Andre at the helm, Daegu take a defensive approach with counterattacking and I anticipate it to be employed as usual in Tuesday night. With it being Daegu's first time in ACL, I think the team will come to the game under a lot more pressure they have never experienced before. So, I think they could be even more defensive, especially early on.
PW: Here in Australia very little is known about Daegu FC, who are the key players and what are their strengths?
MJ: I suppose that Daegu FC are not the team that many Asian football fans are familiar with. Nevertheless, the Sky Blues have a few outstanding players backed up with young players with a lot of potential. Attacking-wise, upfront Brazilian duo Edgar and Cesinha have been the biggest assets in Andre’s side.
The towering centre forward Edgar, who joined Daegu last summer as a free agent from Buriram United, is very good at holding the ball and linking up with other attackers. Also, his strong headers and good finishing will pose threats to Melbourne. In addition, Brazilian playmaker Cesinha has pace, free-kick accuracy, and dribbling.
Between the sticks, Korean international goalkeeper, Jo Hyeon-woo will be positioned as usual. The shot stopper was not widely known until he showed off his brilliant skills at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He had been considered one of the most consistent players in K League for last four years.
PW: The season started off well with a 1-1 draw against Jeonbuk, how did they play and how much confidence does that give the team travelling to Melbourne?
MJ: It was not a fine start for Daegu until half way into the first half when they took the lead from a looping header by Edgar at a set-piece. Even though Daegu let their lead slip away a few minutes later, they were very effective and comfortable in getting out of pressure from Jeonbuk and managed to create a few chances.
To be frank, Daegu could have got the result on the road if they were a bit luckier. By picking up that point with solid start against two-times Asian Champions and six-times K League Champions, Daegu proved that last year’s FA Cup win was not just fluke, and will certainly give them a huge confidence boost ahead of this ACL challenge.
PW: How do you see the game playing out?
MJ: I think that Daegu are likely to play cautiously as this is their ACL debut. However, if they can hold on till the halfway into the first half, then they may be able to be a bit bolder and use their pace.
PW: Score Prediction?
MJ: Melbourne Victory FC 1-2 Daegu FC

Muyeol Jung: Melbourne Victory have been on a four game win-less run since the 3-2 win over Central Coast Mariners in early February. What’s the atmosphere like among the squad ahead of their first ACL group stage match?
Paul Williams: The atmosphere in the team is still quite positive, but fans are starting to get a little restless with the lack of results over the last month. There has been mitigating circumstances, with injuries and suspensions meaning Kevin Muscat hasn’t been able to play a settled squad from one week to the next. The club has been targeting the ACL though, so the players will be focused to get their campaign off to a winning note on Tuesday.
MJ: What is the main tactic for Melbourne Victory? Do you think it will be employed in the first match against Daegu?
PW: Melbourne Victory are known as a team that likes to play attacking, free-flowing football and I don’t expect that to be any different in the ACL. They have a fantastic record at home in the AFC Champions League, so I expect them to come out and look to control the game on their turf.
Mostly this year Kevin Muscat has played a 4-4-2, with a narrow diamond midfield and the full backs pushing on to provide width, but this can vary slightly depending on the availability of players. Fingers crossed most of the squad should be available, so I expect this is how they will look to play.
MJ: Historically, Melbourne has claimed only one win from 14 meetings* against Korean Football clubs in continental competition since 2008, which dates back to their first meeting with a Korean club in 2008 against Jeonnam Dragons. However, Victory are unbeaten in 13 home games in the ACL since 2011. What do you think the reasons are behind these poor results against particularly Korean teams?
*W1 D8 L5; Jeonnam in 2008, Seongnam in 2010, Jeju in 2011, Jeonbuk in 2014, Suwon Bluewings in 2016, Ulsan in 2018
PW: I wasn’t aware the record against Korean teams was so bad, so that doesn’t bode well. But as you said, and as I mentioned earlier, their home record is exemplary. I think Korean teams tend to match up well against Australian teams.
Australians like to play a slightly more physical game, as do the Koreans, so they aren’t intimidated by that and I think generally across the board the technical skill of the Korean players is at a higher level, which means they have been able to get the better of the Victory. Hopefully this year will be different.
MJ: In Korea, Melbourne Victory are well-known and as the club of Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda Keisuke but which other players do you think Daegu have to be wary of?
PW: Obviously Keisuke Honda is the standout name, but for me the most important player for Melbourne Victory is Swedish striker Ola Toivonen. He too played at the World Cup last year and he’s been in terrific form for Melbourne this year, but has missed most of the last 4-5 weeks with injury and illness, and it’s no coincidence that has coincided with a downturn in form for Melbourne.
His movement and positioning, his touch and all round game awareness are at another level, and when he’s not out there Melbourne lose a lot in their attack. He missed the game on the weekend against Newcastle with illness, so hopefully he will be fit come Tuesday night. Raul Baena is a crafty central midfielder from Spain, and look out for Kosta Barbarouses too. He’s been playing off Toivonen this year in the two up front and has been in sensational form.
MJ: This clash will be their first meeting. How do you envisage it playing out?
PW: Melbourne Victory are determined to finally make an impact in the ACL, something they’ve never been able to do before, and finally it seems like they have the squad to be able to compete at this level. Given Victory’s excellent home record, I think they can get their campaign off to a winning start.
MJ: Score Prediction?
PW: Melbourne Victory 2-1 Daegu FC

The Murder of a Journalist, El Asesinato de un Periodista, book cover
Luis Carrasquillo was born in the foothills of El Yunque, Puerto Rico, in 1942, and emigrated to New York in 1959. He settled in Greenwich Village where he has developed an extensive work as a painter, poet, and researcher. He graduated from the Latin American Theological Seminary with high honors, having been selected Student of the Year in 1972, the same year of his graduation.
The Murder of a Journalist” is an interesting, exciting, and realistic novel that narrates the experiences of a journalist to get and make public the truth of the drug cartels and how they operated in the United States. Luis Carrasquillo shows us that sometimes life never stops being hard for someone with a clear goal in mind and heart. He shows us that the courage of a human to defend truth and justice cannot be extinguished so easily.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Luis Carrasquillo’s new book, with the collaboration of Ramón Urbáez, “The Assassination of a Journalist”, is a story that exposes the harsh reality of the search for truth faced by investigative journalists.
Readers who wish to experience this exciting and realistic work can purchase “The Murder of a Journalist” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Continuing Brutal Torture of Hizb ut-Tahrir Activists by Bangladesh Government
TO: THE HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND CIVIL SOCIETY
RE: Continuing Brutal Torture of Hizb ut-Tahrir Members and Activists by the Government of Bangladesh
Hizb ut-Tahrir draws the attention of all human rights organizations based in Bangladesh and internationally, as well as the civil society in Bangladesh to the continuing brutal torture of the party’s members and activists by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB); and calls upon the responsible executives and members of the human rights community, and the civil society to take up the issue with the GOB, pressing upon them the urgency of refraining from all forms of torture.
BACKGROUND AND FACTS
1. The current GOB resorted to a policy of brutal repression against Hizb ut-Tahrir since February, 2009, when the party exposed Sheikh Hasina and her government’s collaboration in the massacre of officers of the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. Party members and activists are regularly harassed and arrested. Up till now hundreds of party members and activists, along with the party’s official spokesman, Mohiuddin Ahmed, have been imprisoned under false cases. They are de nied bail despite plain and unambiguous grounds for granting them bail. Moreover any arrested party member or activist is always remanded in custody without fail, for no reason other than torturing them.
2. Being true to their reputation, the Bangladesh police, RAB and the Task Force for Interrogation (TFI) subject the members and activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir to inhumane torture using brutal means which include applying electric shock to their genitals, squashing them between slabs of ice for lengthy periods, blindfolding, stripping them naked, hanging them upside down and beating them severely etc.
3. In continuing with the repressive policies against Hizb ut-Tahrir , the GOB instructed the police to launch a brutal attack on the party’s programme on 13 August, 2011, at Muktangon, Dhaka. The police severely beat and injured many members and activists who had to be admitted to hospital for treatment. The police also arrested 16 members and activists of the party from the programme. They were subsequently remanded for various durations. During their remand they were ruthlessly tortured in the same brutal fashion as in previous occasions:
They were subjected to electric shock, applied to their genitals;
They were stripped naked and squashed between slabs of ice for hours;
They were blindfolded, tied, severely beaten and left hanging upside down; and
They were forced to stay standing, and deprived of sleep for nights.
NAMES OF THE TORTURE VICTIMS
1. Shafayet Ullah, age 17
2. Asif Rahman, age 18
3. Syed Abdullah, age 19
4. Monirul Islam Piyas, age 20
5. Jamilur Rahman, age 20
6. Sabbir Ahmed, age 21
7. Radi Shafiq, age 22
8. Mohammad Faisal, age 22
9. Ashiqur Rahman, age 22
10. Syyedul Islam, age 22
11. Ahmed Nizam, age 23
12. Shahab Uddin, age 27
13. Sharif Shah Miraj, age 27
14. Jahidul Islam, age 29
15. Habibur Rahman, age 35 and
16. Jahid Uddin, age 42
Hizb ut-Tahrir urges all human rights and civil society organizations, as well as the sincere individuals from the human rights community and civil society to fulfill their duty of defending all prisoners of conscience by insisting that the GOB immediately ceases the torture of the members and activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir .

Kottak
An interview with Kottak Vocalist/Guitarist/ Scorpions drummer, James Kottak
by Tina Hall
Rocker James Kottak is best known as the drummer for Scorpions, which he joined in 1996. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, he has certainly come a long way since his days in the land of baseball and whiskey.
Beside performing on over 130 albums and dvd’s, and numerous tours with the Scorps, he has his own band Kottak. The latest Kottak CD titled Rock & Roll Forever is out now.
Maximum Ink: When did you first know you had to become a musician?
James Kottak: I saw a cover band at my sister’s school when I was in 5th grade and they played Stairway To Heaven. I immediately wanted a drum set, got one, and was obsessed. I also played trumpet from 4th grade on thru college.
MI: Who were some of your earliest influences?
JK: Led Zeppelin of course, Grand Funk Railroad (Live album), The Beatles (Sgt. Pepper). By the way I just saw the Beatles, Love show in Vegas, Amazing!
MI: When you first moved from Kentucky to Los Angeles did you experience culture shock? What was it like in the first days there?
JK: By the time I moved to L.A in 1987 I had toured most of America several times over with Louisville based bands, so it didn’t freak me out that much. But, it was very interesting to say the least, a freakshow, but I fit right in with all the loonies.
MI: Do you ever go back to Kentucky much? Do you miss it?
JK: I try to get back to the Ville, as much as possible. My mother, brother, sister, nephews, and nieces are all there. I do miss my friends and the whole local music scene a lot!
MI: When you first began your career did you ever think it would lead you to where it has?
JK: I always had delusions of grandeur as a kid hanging around at the KY State Fair every day. What it must be like to travel the world playing Rock N Roll,etc. I visualized it and it became reality. I encourage everyone to read The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, it works for every aspect of your life! I am very thankful and lucky that I am where I am in my career and life. I am healthy that is what is really important.
MI: Why do you personally feel music is such a powerful comfort in most people’s lives?
JK: It is the ultimate escape from the real world. You can hear a great three minute country song while driving in your car and you’re taken into a short little story or on an adventure in your own mind. I think it relates a lot to when we were kids getting tucked in at night with a bedtime story.
MI: Your son Miles is in Blackout 101. Are you proud of the work he is doing in that?
JK: Miles is an incredible drummer. He literally destroys the drums when he plays. He eats cymbals for breakfast! My daughter is doing modeling/runway/print ads and is studying the fashion biz at college. My other son is 13 and into all the things 13 year olds are, Video games, etc. These kids grew up backstage at the arena.
MI: I asked him once what it was like to come from such a musical family and he said “It is not your typical Thanksgiving”. What are Thanksgivings like at your place?
JK: Understatement. Tommy (Lee) and I were pulling the turkey out of the oven one year and dropped the whole thing on the floor. We picked it up and put it back in the pan. The family never knew..lol.
MI: Is there one particular musical moment that stands out most in your mind?
JK: The Star Spangled Banner is my favorite song!
MI: What was it like to be asked to join Scorpions? Where you a fan before then?
JK: The phone rang and it was an English accented manager type voice saying, “James would you fancy to come over to Germany and play with the boys?” I said sure why not? I had met the Scorpions on the Monsters of Rock tour so we were friends. My band Kingdom Come opened for them for 5 months in 1988 and a MSG album with Michael Schenker. It was pretty natural playing with them as I had covered most of their songs in cover bands. They were always one of my favorites! A bit surreal, huh? They are the best guys in the world to work with. I have total freedom!
MI: Can you tell us a little about your band Kottak? How would you describe the Kottak sound?
JK: We are Cheap Trick meets Green Day on a bad day! Kottak is my passion project. I sing and play guitar which I absolutely love! I write 75% of the material. We have three albums out now. Greatest Hits (our first), Therupy (second), and Rock & Roll Forever (the third). Our fourth album, Kottak Attack! will be released in Spring 2011. We hope to tour Europe the month of April.
MI: What can fans expect from the live shows?
JK: Get up and rock! Leave your problems at home, Drink up! It’s gonna get loud!
MI: Is there anything you’d like to say to them?
JK: Buy our albums, all of them! But you have to come to a Kottak show, then it all makes sense.
MI: What projects are you currently working on?
JK: I am in pre-production mode for Kottak Attack, should be done by February 1. My record label Snug Records is releasing a great album by a band named Kleveland in March. I go to Chile for a Volkswagen Road Rally in early January. Yes, I am driving! Drum clinics in France in February. Scorpions shows and recording in Thailand (It’s a secret!). I hope to record this year on film for a Kottak/Scorpions Documentary to be submitted to the film festivals.
MI: How would you like to be remembered?
JK: He was a nice guy and a bad ass drummer who could scream!

Skizzwhores
Album Title: Insomnia Mania
Record Label: Gears N Cogs Media
Review by Laura Sorensen
Skizzwhores - Insomnia Mania
There are those bands that need more members to produce more sound. Then there are bands like Skizzwhores that need only three members to produce a lot of sound. Their second release and full length CD “Insomnia Mania” is rich with strong instrumentals generating from a single guitarist, bassist and drummer. Combined with the raw, straightforward vocals, using a unique blend of Grunge-Smear and Punk Rock, Skizzwhores produces a mix of music that ranges in style from old school B-52’s to rap style rock like Limp Bizkit, and various other artists such as Distillers, Sonic Youth and The Germs. With intriguing song titles like “Non Conforming Conformist Ate My Brain” and “Sex & Politics” one is drawn to find out more about the music this not so subtle three piece ensemble produces. Lyrics such as “Rise and rally in the streets,” “Same old shit,” and “Millions of hairs stand on end like standing at the edge of hell,” give one cause to believe this group is not only serious about their music but also about their message. Each track is inevitably upbeat and inspiring. The Madison based band Skizzwhores is quickly building a reputation, so while new shows may be in the works they will definitely be playing Pride Fest in Milwaukee, WI on June 10, 2016.

While MSM Spins Anti-Trump Narrative, Voters and Donors Support the President
May 26th, 2017 RC Williams Comments off
Credit: Death to the MSM.
The two most visible billionaires in manufactured housing are evenly split between pro-Democratic Warren Buffett, and now pro-Trump Sam Zell.
Certainly, other industry professionals run the gamut, from pro-Democratic, pro-GOP, Libertarian, other political affiliations and the all-important independents. But informal surveys of industry professionals by MHProNews reveals that the clear majority support the president and his policies.
That millions of voters feel the same way was reflected yesterday.
Last night’s special election in the state of Montana, won by Republican Greg Gianforte, was another piece in the puzzle of the tenuous D vs. R dance.
According to ABC News, Gianforte, who defeated Democratic opponent Rob Quist to win the special election for the U.S. House seat in Montana, had his campaign thrust into the spotlight after Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs described being “body-slammed” by the GOP candidate. A Fox News crew who witnessed the incident said the former technology and software executive “grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.”

“I’m sick and tired of you guys,” Gianforte said in audio of the event released by The Guardian.
“I went from being vertical one moment to being horizontal the next,” Jacobs told Good Morning America.
While the alleged incident goes through the misdemeanor legal process, the Gianforte victory leaves Democrats without a win in special elections since November of last year, with Republicans having won contests in Louisiana, Kansas and now Montana.
Additional races for special House of Representative seats next month in California, Georgia and South Carolina will provide additional chances for Democratic candidates to make an impact, but there may be larger issues looming.
It Has to Make Dollars to Make Sense

Besides ballots being cast, another measure of the pro-Trump advantage has been in fundraising.
According to Politico, the Republican National Committee raised $12 million in March and a total of $41.5 million in the first quarter. The RNC now has $41.4 million cash on hand and no debt. In April, the Democratic National Committee reported the worst month for the DNC since 2009 for fundraising, with only $4.7 million. It seems that while the anti-Trump political and media bubble are crying ‘resistance,’ ala Keith Olbermann, the Trump-train crowd – 96% of whom would pull the level for the president again – are having none of what they see as ‘agenda media’ spin.
Pro-Trump voters wonder, Is Anything Real Anymore?

Commenting on his sharing of data from a recent FOX News poll, analyst Howard Kurtz was to the point.
“A Fox News poll came out the other night, and I tweeted some of the findings about President Trump. No analysis, no commentary. Just a few numbers,” said Kurtz.
Howard Kurtz. Credit: Wikipedia.
“Trump approval at 40%, down from 45% last month. 53% say his agenda is coming apart; 44% say he’s shaking up Washington.”
“68% approve of DOJ naming a special counsel, 29% disapprove. Well, you’d have thought I had called for the president’s impeachment. I practically got buried under an avalanche of angry tweets.”
Kurtz continued.
“The troubling thing here is that we no longer agree on a common set of facts. Conservatives and liberals are increasingly in their own silos, turning to their own opinionated media sources and constructing their Facebook and Twitter feeds the same way,” said Kurtz.
“If everything is fake news, then the role of news in fostering intelligent debate is decimated. And I don’t need a poll to be sure of that.”
While polling may present difficulties, facts are static.

As the Daily Business News covered in a featured story recently, President Trump continues to make progress for American businesses and jobs, including the lowest unemployment rate in decades.
He enjoys the highest consumer, business confidence, and homebuilder confidence numbers in years.
Along with over $160 billion in ‘immediate’ federal and private business deals with Saudi Arabia, and some $300 billion more planned over the next decade, what ELS Chairman Sam Zell colorfully called a “cacophony” of Deep State resistance has moved into high gear.
“It’s SABOTAGE,” said President Trump in a White House press release to MHProNews.
“The fake news media is working hand-in-hand with Washington’s corrupt bureaucracy to try to slow and block our America First Agenda.”
“The special interests know they can only win when you, the American people, lose,” Trump continued. “But we’re fighting to break the special interest stranglehold around our country that has silenced our citizens, stripped our nation of its wealth, and bled America dry.”
What It Means for MH
The manufactured housing industry’s fortunes stand to rise with the economic effects from President Trump’s moves.
MHProNews and MHLivingNews Publisher L.A. “Tony” Kovach spoke on the matter during his Inside the MH Road Show video interview with MHARR adviser and former association leader Danny Ghorbani, and current MHARR President and CEO Mark Weiss, JD.
“Well, let me put it to you this way, if this industry was to create a person to put in the White House for betterment of our industry and consumer, they could not have come up with a better person than President Trump,” said Ghorbani.
“If this industry, by the time he’s done 4 years, or hopefully 8 years, if this industry does not advance the way it should, the way it must in Washington, I hate to say this, the industry has dropped the ball.”
“Manufactured housing is the private sector solution to affordable housing, without costing government subsidies. And we can supply that need,” said Weiss.
“We just need to be unshackled from excessive regulations, in order to pursue our full potential.”

Big League Presidential Deals Undermine DC Narrative of Struggling Trump Administration
May 22nd, 2017 RC Williams Comments off

As President Donald Trump continues his first overseas trip, rumblings back home continue.
As the Daily Business News covered last week, the fallout from President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey on May 10th, followed by accusations of discussing classified information in a meeting with Russian officials, has caused an already bubbling cauldron to begin boiling over.
The plan, it appears, is the impeachment of President Trump.
While Democrat leaders such as Maxine Waters (TX), Nancy Pelosi (CA), and even legendary attorney Alan Dershowitz are saying that there is no “there there” regarding a call for impeachment, or Russian collusion, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) fired the first shot in the battle on the House floor.

“I rise today…to call for the impeachment of the President for obstruction of justice,” said Green.
“We are talking about a president who fired the FBI director who was investigating the president for his connections to Russian involvement in the president’s election.”
President Trump didn’t take the call sitting down, calling out all responsible parties.
Progress in Spite of Protest
While President Trump continues to make progress, including the lowest unemployment rate in decades, and the highest consumer, business confidence, and homebuilder confidence numbers in years, along with over $300 billion in deals with Saudi Arabia, what ELS Chairman Sam Zell colorfully called a “cacophony” of Deep State resistance has moved into high gear.
Talking heads and news organizations around the world have predicted President Trump’s demise from the time he was nominated, and have continued to do so. Meanwhile, the President remains fixated on delivering campaign promises, including economic opportunities that are designed to spur job creation. The weekend trip to Saudi Arabia is expected to directly create 125,000 jobs in the U.S.

“With the recent news of the special counsel, much of the Trump risk has already been priced into markets, so the downside potential is probably limited,” said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network during a recent CNBC segment.
“Overall, if the President can get through the trip without major problems, and even more if he can log some wins, that will probably push the market higher.”
Weaponized News?
Underscoring the ongoing battle against President Trump is a new study from Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, which looks at the news coverage of the President over his first 100 days in office.
Credit: Harvard.
The study is based on an analysis of news reports in the print editions of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, the main newscasts of CBS, CNN, Fox News, and NBC, and three European news outlets – the Financial Times and BBC, and Germany’s ARD.
Some of the findings in the study show the power of media and the creation of echo chambers.
President Trump dominated media coverage in the outlets and programs that were studied, with President Trump being the topic of 41 percent of all news stories. This is three times the amount of coverage received by previous presidents. He was also the featured speaker in nearly two-thirds of his coverage.
And with that coverage, the President has received it almost non-stop for most weeks of his presidency, without a single major topic where the coverage, on balance, was more positive than negative, setting a new standard for unfavorable press coverage of a president.
In Europe, the study found that reporters stood out in their own way. When compared with American journalists, they were more likely to question directly President Trump’s fitness for office.
European journalists were significantly less restrained (with the exception of BBC journalists, who are governed by impartiality rules that prohibit such reporting,) while journalists at ARD, Germany’s main public broadcasting outlet, who are not governed by the same rules, made President Trump’s “suitability for the presidency” their leading topic in January and February, with the topic accounting for between 18 and 20 percent of their total coverage.

The study also covered the perception that journalists have a “liberal bias,” finding that their real bias is a preference for the negative.
The study showed that news reporting turned sour during the Vietnam and Watergate era and has stayed that way since, as journalists’ incentives – from getting their stories on the air to acquiring a reputation as a hard-hitting reporter – encouraged them to focus on what’s wrong with politicians rather than what’s right.
A Rising Tide…
MHProNews and MHLivingNews Publisher L.A. “Tony” Kovach spoke on the matter during in his Inside the MH Road Show video interview with MHARR adviser and former association leader Danny Ghorbani, and current MHARR President and CEO Mark Weiss, JD.

Chicago is the largest city in both Illinois and the Midwest, and the third most populated city in the United States, with over 2.8 million living within the city limits. Its metropolitan area, usually named “Chicagoland”, is the 26th most populous in the world, home to an likely 9.7 million people spread across the U.S. states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Chicago is mainly located within Cook County, with the exception of a small northwestern part of the city at O’Hare International Airport that is located within DuPage County.
In current scenario, more and more consumers are facing nail-biting competition in the market. The main reason is that the economic situation of these companies is not promising. The people who are on job have job-less and others who are doing their salaries are being reduced. For the sake of compulsion, they failed to pay their pending bills which are existing in the terms of medical bills, loans bills, provisions bills, electricity bills, credit payment, mortgage payments, car loans and the list goes on.
In present times, the city has taken on the other dimension as a center for business and finance and is on the list as one of the world’s top ten Global Financial Centers. Chicago is a stronghold of the Democratic Party and has been home to many important politicians, including the current President of the United States, Barack Obama. The World Cities Study Group at Loughborough University rated Chicago as an “alpha world city” because of Chicago’s important role in the global economic system.

Italian Hype: Lamborghini Bicolore
January 26, 2011 January 26, 2011 Andrew Beckford 0 Comments Cars, exotic car, gallardo bicolore, Hype, italian car, lamborghini bicolore, Lamborghini Gallardo, lamgorghini gallardo bicolore, New Cars, new lamborghini, News, super car, supercar, V10
Hot on the heels of Porsche’s release of their “Black Edition” 911 and Pagani’s release of the new Huayra, Lamborghini has a new release of their own. Lamborghini will release the Gallardo “Bicolore” for European and Asian-Pacific markets on a LP560-4 base Gallardo while in America the Bicolore will only be on the LP550-2 base Gallardo (the same base that the Balboni edition is built on0. As the name suggests the Bicolore is all about showing off a special edition two-toned paint job that carries into the interior. They haven’t released how many examples will be produced in this color way but I would imagine that it will be quite small if they want to keep that limited edition appeal.
All Bicolore’s will be coated from the window line up in “Noctis Black” while the bottom half can be sprayed in one of 5 optional colors: Giallo Midas, Arancio Borealis, Grigio Telesto, Bianco Monocerus, and Blu Caelum. If you speak Italian then you know what each of those colors look like. If not, then I suggest you google it! The Bicolore will make its public debut at the Qutar Motor Show which I believe is going on right now. Although what everyone is really looking forward to is the Geneva Motor Show next month when Lamborghini will finally pull the cover off the new V12 replacement to the Murcielago. Stay tuned!
Just a month before the world debut at Geneva Motor Show of its V12 replacement for the Murciélago, Automobili Lamborghini is presenting at the 2011 Qatar Motor Show a highly exclusive and appealing vehicle making its world premiere: the Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore, a Special Edition supersports car which will be produced for the European and Asian-Pacific markets, while for the American market it will be only available in the version LP 550-2. As its name implies, this special series features an exclusive two-tone finish with matching interior, and offers a full range of standard equipment. A refined contrast between the black roof and the color of the rest of the body (available in a choice of five shades) further emphasizes the sharp, dynamic lines of the Gallardo LP 560-4, while simultaneously enhancing its sportiness and adding a touch of elegance to an extremely prestigious model in the field of automotive design.
The most successful super sports car in Lamborghini’s history captures the imagination with the brutal power of its 560 hp V10 engine, the absolute grip of its permanent all-wheel drive and the razor-sharp precision of its chassis. Every kilometer in the Lamborghini Gallardo is an intense experience of explosive dynamics and absolute control. Its breathtaking performance is indicated by the 3.7 seconds it takes to reach 100 km/h and its top speed of 325 km/h.
“With the Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore, Lamborghini demonstrates once again the extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian nature of our brand. The super sports cars from Lamborghini combine volcanic energy with design that is as unique as it is stylish,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
Unique design DNA
The success of Lamborghini’s unequalled design DNA lies in the beauty of highly-concentrated power and precise function. The Gallardo is the sheer essence of form with a purist approach, so the body shell is crisply sculpted and completely free from decoration. A timeless piece of design and an uncompromising driving machine – the Lamborghini Gallardo is both.
Even more extreme, thanks to a personalized appearance
With its new Bicolore model, Lamborghini is now setting a further design highlight in the ten-cylinder model series. The colored exterior finish matched with the black on the upper area of the body gives the Gallardo a new, more aggressive personality that looks even wider, even more extreme and innately adhered to the road.
>From the window-line upwards (including pillars, roof, engine hood and rear spoiler), the vehicle is decorated in Noctis Black – a pastel black that contrasts perfectly with the lower area of the body, available in a choice of five colors: Giallo Midas, Arancio Borealis, Grigio Telesto, Bianco Monocerus and Blu Caelum.
The exterior appearance is enhanced by Skorpius aluminum-alloy rims with 15 thin spokes that are forged to minimize unsprung weight and are finished in titanium gray enamel. And, the air intakes and front spoiler have a high-gloss black finish, as does the upper section of the rear diffuser.
Top-quality and highly individual interior
The contrast between black and color is repeated in an understated, elegant manner in the interior of the Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore. The instrument panel, seats, door panels and other elements in the passenger compartment are upholstered in the finest “Nero Persus” leather, with a refined contrast provided by precise stitching that is colored to match the exterior paintwork: yellow, orange, blue and gray (also used on the Bianco Monocerus version).
The bezel of the e-gear transmission on the center console is in Nero Noctis, just like the upper area of the vehicle. Obviously, the interior is finished in the Lamborghini tradition using only the materials of the very highest quality, which are crafted with undisputed professionalism and fine Italian workmanship.
V10 like a work of art in a glass display
The complete range of standard equipment includes the fast e-gear automated transmission controlled by paddles on the steering column. A lifting system enables the front axle to be raised for safer travel onto ramps and over humps in the road, and the engine hood in tempered glass provides a stunning view of the heart of the vehicle: a 5.2 liter, 90° V-10 engine with stratified direct injection.
>From a satellite navigation system to a rear-view camera, from a brake system with carbon-ceramic discs to heated power seats, a long list of optional equipment and accessories allows the vehicle to be adapted to the personal requirements of any client.
Unique success for a super sports car
Well over 10,000 Gallardos have left the production facility at company headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese – a unique success story in the world of super sports cars. The Bicolore Special Edition is particularly intended for the enthusiast who desires a supercar with an exclusive appearance and remarkable design. In any event, he or she will own a Lamborghini that is altogether distinguished by an extremely dynamic character, maximum driving excitement, yet an ability to be driven daily.
Individual characters in one model range
The Gallardo Bicolore completes Lamborghini’s ten-cylinder model range, which is enjoying enormous resonance worldwide with its broad spectrum of individual characters. While the Gallardo LP 560-4 is already a highly trained, extreme athlete, the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera takes the notion of thoroughbred high performance even further. Thanks to its extensive experience in carbon-fiber lightweight engineering, Lamborghini succeeded in reducing its weight by a further 70 kilograms. At 2.35 kilograms per hp, the power-to-weight ratio of the Superleggera is the best in its class, with breathtaking performance guaranteed.
The Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, on the other hand, offers a very different kind of extreme driving pleasure – every trip with the roof down is a journey with a hurricane, yet with maximum protection. This can only be bettered – in true Lamborghini style – by the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante. Its purist carbon-fiber lightweight engineering, according to Lamborghini’s tradition, adds an even sharper edge to the dynamics.

Energy Bills To Rise As Coal Train Charges Set To Be Increased
Energy bills to rise as coal train charges set to be increased by 25%
Published 25th April 2013
Rail Regulator challenged by railfreight industry over legality of price increases
The railways were developed as a result of the industrial revolution and the ever growing need to transport heavy minerals such as iron ore and coal from mining areas to the factories and power stations. These in turn further fed the demand for coal and railways so it was seemingly an inexorably entwined relationship which has lasted just over 200 years.
Coal was one of the staple revenue earners for the railways but as industry has changed, demand for coal has dropped, especially in the last 30 years and consequently, the conveyance of coal by rail has declined from pit to power station.
The Office of the Rail Regulator (ORR) and Network Rail (NR) have to agree fundamental finances for the five years from April 2014 known as Control Period 5 (CP5). ORR has proposed a huge hike in access charges payable by freight companies who operate long distance coal trains to the major power stations in Yorkshire.
Energy bills to rise – or the end of coal trains?
If these charging proposals are implemented, it is likely that power bills will have to be increased to cover the extra coasts or the bulk coal trains will be consigned to history. When this information was imparted to the industry earlier this year, some companies at the ORR briefings said that as they had been given a year’s notice of the increases, it would be cheaper to use lorries so they would order some new ones and switch from rail to road.
In their own words, the ORR says that Rail freight plays an important role in Great Britain’s logistics and makes a significant contribution to the economy. Around 25% of the electricity consumed in the UK is generated by coal that has been moved by rail. A further 16% is generated by nuclear power, with spent nuclear fuel being moved by rail for disposal.
UK coal market slipping away?
The recent announcement of the closure of a Scottish colliery with nearly 600 redundancies shows how precarious the coal industry is at the moment. The memories of the decline in coal have been revived with the recent death of Mrs Thatcher and combined with the closures of the Coventry Daw Mill colliery following an underground fire and Yorkshire’s Maltby Colliery in March this year demonstrates the drop in coal production.
The Hatfield Colliery landslip has exacerbated coal problems and may well close as a result leading to more imported coal being required, imported via Immingham Docks to feed the Aire Valley power stations.
These closures mean that transporting coal by rail has declined without any increases to the rail charging regime and only leaves Kellingley and Thoresby as deep mining collieries in the UK and the fast reducing Scottish Opencast industry as major domestic coal suppliers.
Over the hills and far away?
The Scottish mines in Ayrshire could be the biggest losers if the new charges are implemented as the coal has to be transported the furthest distance to the English power stations. These trains run via the hilly Settle and Carlisle route to Yorkshire’s power stations while these could be fed from the east coast ports using imported coal.
This would reduce demand for Scottish coal further and could, combined with power stations being converted to biomass and gas powered, leave the mines without a customer and more closures.
The coal industry has an annual price review and this takes place each April and a secondary review is undertaken each September. Following the last cold three months, the demand for power has increased leaving the generating industry on the edge of being able to supply electricity.
So coal remains an essential part of the process and the proposed transport rail tariff increases might lead to become more dependent on imported coal which would surely increase in cost once domestic supplies dry up. This would also increase our energy bills as electricity generators pass on the increased costs to consumers.
The wholesale price of UK produced coal is likely to increase by £25 a ton and this would bring the best quality coal to as much as £200 a ton. This will increase the cost of running our heritage railways but this would pale into insignificance if the lights could go out next winter if coal supplies dry up and shortages have already been reported in the industry. The coal powered bits of Didcot power station closed in March, two years earlier than planned because of restrictions on how many hours they could use coal to generate and no replacement is in sight.
The McNulty Report of two years ago said that £1billion a year could be saved in the railway’s costs and this presumably is part of that process. Access charges are also being increased for moving biomass and nuclear waste by rail. The Government own Direct Rail Services (DRS) who convey the nuclear waste, are also facing huge increases for their trains which is curious as it is the Government who is also decommissioning Sellafield and other nuclear installations. As these are taxpayer funded operations, the question has to be asked; What is the point in this money go round?
They said:
The Railfreight Group said “The combined increases in freight charges, are of severe concern, and are likely to have impact on all commodity sectors not just coal. We need ORR to urgently think again about these proposals, if the worse effects on rail freight customers are to be avoided”.
ORR did not offer a comment when asked about the proposals.
Late Challenge to ORR’s statutory duties by Railfreight industry
The Railfreight industry has combined to oppose the ORR proposal and wrote a public letter to Anna Walker, Chair of ORR voicing their collective concern about the way ORR is approaching the industry’.
The proposed price increases will lead to a material loss in rail freight traffic affecting all market sectors which the signatories consider unacceptable the letter says. Controversially it also says that ORR is on the face of it, acting contrary to the ORR’s statutory duties set out in the Railways Act 1993 (as amended) to promote the carriage of goods by rail.
It is also suggested that the planned increases in charges go against clear guidance from the Secretary of State for Transport in July 2012 with regard to ORR recognising the importance of sustain efficient and commercial predictable network-wide freight operations including decisions about access rights and charging structures.
Rail.co.uk will keep you informed of how this argument plays out.
Should ORR increase the charges for trains carrying Coal, Biomass and Nuclear waste?

UK women cricketers say Barbados could be more blind-friendly
Kerri Gooding Created : 19 July 2018 Caribbean News
(L-R) Leanne and Minerva are members of the UK Women’s Visually Impaired Cricket Team.
International voices have been added to the plea of locals for Barbados to become more accessible, considerate and inclusive of persons who are blind or visually impaired.
Up to last week, members of the UK Women’s Visually Impaired Cricket Team and the West Indies Women’s Visually Impaired Cricket Team were on the island for two successful international matches, but off the field, they were impacted and hindered as they tried to traverse independently.

Loop caught up with members of the UK Women’s Visually Impaired Cricket Team in Bridgetown as they shopped for souvenirs.
Leanne said, “[Getting around] It’s pretty easy, but it’s difficult sometimes with some obstacles in the way, but we get around quite fine.”
When asked what poses threats along the streets of Barbados, she added:
“Definitely need more sidewalks and maybe like a bit wider, because some are really thin and we usually hold on to someone else. And then you got the lamp posts and stuff and they’re quite big so we usually like walk in to them. And some of the cars as well are parked right on there [on the sidewalks], so we have to walk in the middle of the road.”

Members of the Barbados Council for the Disabled have been calling for persons to cease and desist from parking on sidewalks for years to no end.
The 43 persons including 18 visually impaired persons from London, England were staying near Dover Beach in St. Lawrence Gap.
Shopping with her was Minerva, who shared that for her navigating in Barbados is a challenge especially because she not only has to consider herself, she has to think of the person she’s assisting as well.
“I’m normally someone that actually guides someone, so it is a bit awkward to try to know where you’re going but also to be looking out for someone else on the small sidewalks.”
In terms of what they are accustomed to, they noted that some lights locally make a beeping sound at the start but it cuts out and they don’t know if they’re caught in the middle of the road or not.
Speaking about back home in the United Kingdom, she said, “We have a sound or there is usually a button you can press, and under that, there is a cone that turns around so you can tell when to cross, how much time is left and when not to cross.” She said something like that would really help in Barbados.

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/788,795, filed 3 Apr. 2006.
[0002]This invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for use in wellbores and associated with the production of hydrocarbons. More particularly, this invention relates to a wellbore apparatus and method for providing flow control that may be utilized to enhance at least gravel packing and production operations for a well.
[0003]This section is intended to introduce various aspects of the art, which may be associated with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. This discussion is believed to assist in providing a framework to facilitate a better understanding of particular aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that this section should be read in this light, and not necessarily as admissions of prior art.
[0004]The production of hydrocarbons, such as oil and gas, has been performed for numerous years. However, when producing hydrocarbons from subsurface or subsurface formations, it becomes more challenging because of the location of certain subsurface formations. For example, some subsurface formations are located in ultra-deep water, at depths that extend the reach of drilling operations, in high pressure/temperature reservoirs, in long intervals, at high production rate, and at remote locations. As such, the location of the subsurface formation may present problems that increase the individual well cost dramatically. That is, the cost of accessing the subsurface formation may result in fewer wells being completed because of the economics of the field. Accordingly, well reliability and longevity become design considerations to avoid undesired production loss and expensive intervention or workovers for these wells.
[0005]To enhance hydrocarbon production, a production system may utilize various devices, such as sand control devices and other tools, for specific tasks within a well. Typically, these devices are placed into a wellbore completed in either a cased-hole or open-hole completion. In a cased-hole completion, a casing string is placed in the wellbore and perforations are made through the casing string into subsurface formations to provide a flow path for formation fluids, such as hydrocarbons, into the wellbore. Alternatively, in an open-hole completion, a production string is positioned inside the wellbore without a casing string. The formation fluids flow through the annulus between the subsurface formation and the production string to enter the production string.
[0006]Regardless of the completion type, sand control devices are typically utilized within a well to manage the production of solid material, such as sand. The production of solid material may result in sand production at surface, downhole equipment damage, reduced well productivity and/or loss of the well. The sand control device, which may have slotted openings or may be wrapped by a screen, may also be utilized with a gravel pack in certain environments. Gravel packing a well involves placing gravel or other particulate matter around a sand control device. In an open-hole completion, a gravel pack is typically positioned between the wall of the wellbore and a sand screen that surrounds a perforated base pipe. Alternatively, in a cased-hole completion, a gravel pack is positioned between a casing string having perforations and a sand screen that surrounds a perforated base pipe. Regardless, the formation fluids flow from the subsurface formation into the production tubing string through the gravel pack and sand control device, while solids above a certain size are blocked.
[0007]As an enhancement to the gravel packing process, alternative technologies may also be utilized to form substantially complete gravel packs within the wellbore. For example, the alternate flow paths, such as internal or external shunt tubes, may be utilized to bypass sand bridges and distribute the gravel evenly through the intervals. For further details, alternate flow paths are described further in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,945,991; 5,082,052; 5,113,935; 5,333,688 and Intl. Patent Appl. No. PCT/US04/01599; which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0008]In addition to preventing solids production, the flow of the formation fluids may also be controlled within a well. For instance, sand control devices may include technology to regulate flow downhole, such as inflow control technology or inflow control devices (ICDs). See, e.g., Reslink's RESFLOW®, Baker's EQUALIZER®, or Weatherford's FLOREG®. These devices are typically used in long, horizontal, open-hole completions to balance inflow into the completion across production intervals or zones. The balanced inflow enhances reservoir management and reduces the risk of early water or gas breakthrough from a high permeability reservoir streak or the heel of a well. Additionally, more hydrocarbons may be captured from the toe of the well through the application of the inflow control technology.
[0009]Because gravel packing operations generally involve passing large quantities of fluid, such as carrier fluid, through the sand screen and the ICD, gravel packing with typical ICDs is not feasible because the gravel packing and production operations use the same flow paths. In particular, localized and reduced inflow of the carrier fluid due to ICDs may cause early bridging, loose packs, voids, and/or increased pressure requirements during gravel pack pumping. Accordingly, the need exists for method and apparatus that provides inflow control without limiting the formation of a gravel pack.

[0031]In the following detailed description section, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in connection with preferred embodiments. However, to the extent that the following description is specific to a particular embodiment or a particular use of the present invention, this is intended to be for exemplary purposes only and simply provides a description of the exemplary embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described below, but rather, it includes all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents falling within the true spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0032]The present invention includes one or more embodiments of sand control devices that may be utilized in a completion, production, or injection system to enhance well operations, which may include gravel packing operations and production operations, which are described below. Under the present invention, an apparatus, system and method are described for running and gravel packing a sand control device having an inflow control mechanism in a well completion, such as an open-hole or cased-hole completion. Then, the sand control device is utilized to produce formation fluids, such as hydrocarbons, from the well completion. The embodiments of the sand control device may include a sand control device with a sealing mechanism, such as a swellable material, sealing element or adjustable sleeve. Accordingly, the specific embodiments of the sand control device may include a sand control device with a sealing element, at least one conduit, and/or at least one sleeve to provide flexibility in the well operations. In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism is configured to provide pressure loss during certain operations, such as gravel packing operations, that is less than the pressure loss during other operations, such as production operations. The pressure loss is change in fluid pressure as the fluid flows outside the sand control device into the interior of the base pipe or primary tubular member. The pressure loss may include frictional pressure loss and form loss. The higher pressure loss results in increased inflow control, which provides flexibility in providing the desired fluid flow control for the different operations. As such, the present invention may be used in well completions to enhance gravel placement, hydrocarbon production and/or stimulation of a subsurface formation. Note that in a well completion, the sand control devices of the present invention may be used in combination with other sand control devices.
[0033]Turning now to the drawings, and referring initially to FIG. 1, an exemplary production system 100 in accordance with certain aspects of the present invention is illustrated. In the exemplary production system 100, a floating production facility 102 is coupled to a subsea tree 104 located on the sea floor 106. Through this subsea tree 104, the floating production facility 102 accesses one or more subsurface formations, such as subsurface formation 107, which may include multiple production intervals or zones 108a-108n, wherein number "n" is any integer number. The production intervals 108a-108n may have hydrocarbons, such as oil and gas. Beneficially, devices, such as sand control devices 138a-138n having inflow control mechanisms, may be utilized to enhance the production of hydrocarbons from the production intervals 108a-108n. However, it should be noted that the production system 100 is illustrated for exemplary purposes and the present invention may be useful in the production or injection of fluids from any subsea, platform or land location.
[0034]The floating production facility 102 may be configured to monitor and produce hydrocarbons from the production intervals 108a-108n of the subsurface formation 107. The floating production facility 102 may be a floating vessel capable of managing the production of fluids, such as hydrocarbons, from subsea wells. These fluids may be stored on the floating production facility 102 and/or provided to tankers (not shown). To access the production intervals 108a-108n, the floating production facility 102 is coupled to a subsea tree 104 and control valve 110 via a control umbilical 112. The control umbilical 112 may include production tubing for providing hydrocarbons from the subsea tree 104 to the floating production facility 102, control tubing for hydraulic or electrical devices, and a control cable for communicating with other devices within the wellbore 114.
[0035]To access the production intervals 108a-108n, the wellbore 114 penetrates the sea floor 106 to a depth that interfaces with the production intervals 108a-108n at different depths within the wellbore 114. As may be appreciated, the production intervals 108a-108n, which may be referred to as production intervals 108, may include various layers or intervals of rock that may or may not include hydrocarbons and may be referred to as zones. The subsea tree 104, which is positioned over the wellbore 114 at the sea floor 106, provides an interface between devices within the wellbore 114 and the floating production facility 102. Accordingly, the subsea tree 104 may be coupled to a production tubing string 128 to provide fluid flow paths and a control cable (not shown) to provide communication paths, which may interface with the control umbilical 112 at the subsea tree 104.
[0036]Within the wellbore 114, the production system 100 may also include different equipment to provide access to the production intervals 108a-108n. For instance, a surface casing string 124 may be installed from the sea floor 106 to a location at a specific depth beneath the sea floor 106. Within the surface casing string 124, an intermediate or production casing string 126, which may extend down to a depth near the production interval 108a, may be utilized to provide support for walls of the wellbore 114. The surface and production casing strings 124 and 126 may be cemented into a fixed position within the wellbore 114 to further stabilize the wellbore 114. Within the surface and production casing strings 124 and 126, a production tubing string 128 may be utilized to provide a flow path through the wellbore 114 for hydrocarbons and other fluids. A subsurface safety valve 132 may be utilized to block the flow of fluids from portions of the production tubing string 128 in the event of rupture or break above the subsurface safety valve 132. Further, packers 134 and 136 may be utilized to isolate specific zones within the wellbore annulus from each other. The packers 134 and 136 may be configured to provide fluid communication paths between surface and the sand control devices 138a-138n, while preventing fluid flow in one or more other areas, such as a wellbore annulus.
[0037]In addition to the above equipment, other equipment, such as sand control devices 138a-138n and gravel packs 140a-140n, may be utilized to manage the flow of fluids from within the wellbore. In particular, the sand control devices 138a-138n may be utilized to manage the flow of fluids and/or particles into the production tubing string 128 with gravel packs 140a-140n. The sand control devices 138a-138n may include slotted liners, stand-alone screens (SAS); pre-packed screens; wire-wrapped screens, membrane screens, expandable screens and/or wire-mesh screens, while the gravel packs 140a-140n may include gravel or other suitable solid material. The sand control devices 138a-138n may also include inflow control mechanisms, such as inflow control devices (i.e. valves, conduits, nozzles, or any other suitable mechanisms), which may increase pressure loss along the fluid flow path. The gravel packs 140a-140n may be complete gravel packs that cover all of the respective sand control devices 138a-138n, or may be partially disposed around sand control devices 138a-138n. Regardless, the sand control devices 138a-138n may include different components that provide flow control for the intervals 108a-108n of the well. The process of installing and using these sand control devices is shown below in FIG. 2.
[0038]FIG. 2 is an exemplary flow chart of the installation and use of the sand control devices of FIG. 1 in accordance with aspects of the present invention. This flow chart, which is referred to by reference numeral 200, may be best understood by concurrently viewing FIG. 1. In this flow chart 200, a process to enhance the production of hydrocarbons from a wellbore 114 by providing flow control in a sand control device along with gravel packs is described. That is, the present technique provides a mechanism for efficiently forming a gravel pack around a sand control device and providing flow control for fluids produced from the intervals once the gravel pack is formed. Accordingly, the sand control device may enhance operations and production of hydrocarbons from intervals 108 of the subsurface formation 107.
[0039]The flow chart begins at block 202. At block 204, a well may be drilled. The well may be drilled to a specific depth location through various production intervals 108 of the subsurface formation 107. The drilling of the well may involve drilling operations and typical techniques utilized for the specific fields. Then, gravel packing operations may be performed in blocks 206 and 208. The gravel packing operations include installing one or more sand control devices having an inflow control mechanism into the well, as shown in block 206. The sand control devices may include various embodiments, such as sand control device having a inflow control mechanism with a sealing element (shown in FIGS. 3A-3G, 4A-4G, 5A-5F, 6A-6G and 7A-7B), sand control device having an inflow control mechanism being conduits (shown in FIGS. 8A-8C, 9A-9E and 10A-10C), and sand control device having an inflow control mechanism with a sleeve (shown in FIGS. 11A-11F). Each of these embodiments may be installed using various techniques, such as by a drilling string, wireline, and coil tubing, and other similar techniques known to those skilled in the art. At block 208, a gravel pack may be installed within the wellbore around the sand control device. The installation of the gravel pack may include coupling a crossover tool to the sand control device and pumping carrier fluid with gravel through the crossover tool. Through the engagement between the sand control device and the crossover tool, a gravel pack may be formed at least partially around the sand control device. A specific process for forming the gravel pack is discussed further in U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/778,434. However, it should be noted that gravel packing operations may include other alternate path gravel packing or alpha beta gravel packing techniques and procedures, as well.
[0040]Once the gravel packing operations are complete, production operations may be performed in blocks 210-220. With the sand control device and gravel pack installed, the sand control device may be adjusted into a production configuration, as shown in block 210. This adjustment may include removing a washpipe, sending a signal via electrical cable or hydraulics to activate a sleeve, chemical activation or other suitable techniques to adjust the sand control device for production operations. In particular, it should be noted that the adjustment to the sand control device may be activated automatically by the presence of a stimulus, which is discussed further below. At block 212, hydrocarbons, such as oil and gas, may be produced from the well. The production of hydrocarbons may include disengaging the crossover tool from the sand control device and coupling the sand control device to a production tubing string to produce hydrocarbons through at least one of the inflow control devices. During production, the performance of the well may be monitored, as shown in block 214. The monitoring of the well may include general surveillance, such as monitoring the hydrocarbon production rate, water cut, gas to oil ratio, production profile from production logging, sand production and/or other similar techniques. Also, the monitoring may include detectors and sensors that determine the levels of sand production, down hole pressure, downhole temperature profiles and the like. At block 216, a determination is made whether to shutoff fluid flow into the sand control device. This determination may include comparing the production from a certain interval to a predetermined threshold, or indication from a monitor within the wellbore that excessive water production is from a certain interval, such as a toe interval. If the interval does not need to be shutoff, the well monitoring may continue in block 214.
[0041]However, if the interval is shutoff, a determination is made whether the production operations are to continue, as shown in block 218. If the production operations are to continue, a maintenance operation may be performed in block 220. The maintenance operation may include activating a mechanism within the inflow control device, such as a sleeve or valve, to prevent fluid flow into the sand control device; installing a straddle bridge across the specific interval; treating the interval with a treatment fluid and/or installing a plug within or upstream of the sand control device. Then, monitoring of the well continues in block 214. Regardless, if the well production is complete, then the process may end at block 222.
[0042]Beneficially, the use of the sand control device provides a mechanism for enhancing gravel packing operations and flexibility in the production operations, such as maintenance operations. The sand control device provides a mechanism for gravel packing a well with various perforations that may or may not be utilized in the production of hydrocarbons. Also, the sand control device may be shutoff to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore from a specific interval to manage specific portions of the wellbore. That is, the sand control devices provide flexibility in isolating and managing the flow from various intervals from unwanted gas or water production. These sand control devices also provide flexibility for installations to regulate flow between formations of varying pressure, productivity or permeability. For instance, the same type of sand control device may be used within a well with one interval being gravel packed and others are not gravel packed. That is, the sand control device may be utilized to gravel pack specific intervals, while other intervals are not gravel packed as part of the same process. Further, by providing balanced inflow, the sand control devices may limit annular flow to prevent hot-spots in the completion at a location of high inflow, which is typically at the heel of the completion or at an external isolation packer. Hot-spots are locations of high velocity flow where erosion is likely if sand particles or fines are in the flow stream.
[0043]For exemplary purposes, various sand control devices 138a-138n are herein described in various embodiments below. In these embodiments, a sealing mechanism may include a sealing element, a barrier element, and/or sleeve in the respective embodiments. Also, the inflow control mechanism may include a conduit or inflow control devices (i.e. small orifice or choke) in the respective embodiments. Accordingly, the specific features of each of the embodiments is discussed in the FIGS. 3A-3G, 4A-4G, 5A-5F, 6A-6G, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, 9A-9F, 10A-10F, 11A-11F and 12.
Sand Control Device with Sealing Element
[0044]FIGS. 3A-3G are illustrative views of an embodiment of a sand control device utilized in the production system of FIG. 1 having an inflow control mechanism in accordance with aspects of the present invention. Each of the sand control devices 300a and 300b include a tubular member or base pipe 302 surrounded by a sand screen 304 having ribs 305. The sand screen 304 may include a permeable section, such as a wire-wrapped screen or filter medium, and a non-permeable section, such as a section of blank pipe. The ribs 305, which are not shown in FIGS. 3A and 3F for simplicity, are utilized to keep the sand screen 304 a specific distance from the base pipe 302. The space between the base pipe 302 and sand screen 304 form a chamber that is accessible from the fluids external to the sand control device 300a and 300b via the permeable section. In FIGS. 3A-3G, the sand control devices 300a and 300b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 300, are the same embodiment of a sand control device in different stages of operation, such as during gravel packing and production operations. Beneficially, in the sand control device 300, a sealing element 312 is configured to provide one or more flow paths to the openings 310 and/or inflow control device 308 during gravel packing operations and to block the flow path to the openings 310 prior to or during production operations. As such, the sand control device 300 may be utilized to enhance operations within the well.
[0045]In FIGS. 3A-3G, the sand control devices 300a and 300b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 300, may include various components utilized to manage the flow of fluids and solids into a well. For instance, the sand control device 300 includes a main body section 320, an inflow section 322, a first connection section 324, a perforated section 326 and a second connection section 328, which may be made of steel, metal alloys, or other suitable materials. The main body section 320 may be a portion of the base pipe 302 surrounded by a portion of the sand screen 304. The main body section 320 may be configured to be a specific length, such as between 10 and 50 feet (ft) (with certain sections being 6 ft, 8 ft, 14 ft, 38, or 40 ft) having specific internal and outer diameters. The inflow section 322 and perforated section 326 may be other portions of the base pipe 302 surrounded by other portions of the sand screen 304, such non-permeable sections, which may include components that provide flow paths through the base pipe 302. The inflow section 322 and perforated section 326 may be configured to be between 0.5 ft and 4 ft in length. The first and second connection sections 324 and 328 may be utilized to couple the sand control device 300 to other sand control devices or piping, and may be the location of the chamber formed by the base pipe 302 and sand screen 304 ends. The first and second connection sections 324 and 328 may be configured to be a specific length, such as 2 inches (in) to 4 ft or other suitable distance, having specific internal and outer diameters.
[0046]In some embodiments of the present invention within the first and second connection sections 324 and 328, coupling mechanisms may be utilized to form the secure and sealed connections. For instance, a first connection 330 may be positioned within the first connection section 324, and a second connection 332 may be positioned within the second connection section 328. These connections 330 and 332 may include various methods for forming connections with other devices. For example, the first connection 330 may have internal threads and the second connection 332 may have external threads that form a seal with other sand control devices or another pipe segment. It should also be noted that in other embodiments, the coupling mechanism for the sand control device 300 may include connecting mechanisms as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,464,261; U.S. Patent No. 60/775,434; Intl. Patent Application No. WO2004/046504; Intl. Patent Application No. WO2004/094769; Intl. Patent Application No. WO2005/031105; U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2004/0140089; U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2005/0028977; U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2005/0061501; U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2005/0082060; U.S. Patent App. No. 60/765,023; and U.S. Patent App. No. 60/775,434, for example.
[0047]In some embodiments of the present invention within the inflow section 322 and perforated section 326, flow control mechanisms may be utilized to regulate flow paths or pressure loss within the sand control device. As a specific example, the sand control device 300 may include one or more inflow control devices 308, one or more perforations or openings 310, and a sealing element 312. The inflow control devices 308 may be positioned at one end of the sand control device 300 and openings 310 along with the sealing element 312 at the other end of the sand control device 300. Inflow control devices 308 may be utilized to control the flow of formation fluids from the chamber into the base pipe 302 during gravel packing and/or production operations. The inflow control devices 308 may include nozzles, valves, tortuous paths, shaped objects or other suitable mechanisms known in the art to create a pressure drop or pressure loss. In particular, the inflow control devices 308 may choke flow through form pressure loss (e.g. a shaped object, nozzle) or frictional pressure loss (e.g. helical geometry/tubes).
[0048]Form pressure loss, which is based on the shape and alignment of an object relative to fluid flow, is caused by separation of fluid that is flowing over an object, which results in turbulent pockets at different pressure behind the object. The openings 310 may be utilized to provide additional flow paths for the fluids, such as carrier fluids, during gravel packing operations because the inflow control devices 308 may restrict the placement of gravel by hindering the flow of carrier fluid into the base pipe 302 during gravel packing operations. The number of openings in the base pipe 302 may be selected to provide adequate inflow during the gravel packing operations to achieve partial or substantially complete gravel pack. That is, the number and size of the openings in the base pipe 302 may be selected to provide sufficient fluid flow from the wellbore through the sand screen 304, which is utilized to deposit gravel in the wellbore and form the gravel pack. As known in the art, alternate path gravel packing techniques with proper fluid leak-off through the sand screen 304 has been demonstrated in the field to achieve a complete gravel pack.
[0049]In some embodiments of the present invention the sealing or expansion element 312 may surround the base pipe 302 and may be a hydraulically actuated inflatable element (i.e. an elastomer or thermoplastic material) or a swellable material (i.e. a swelling rubber element or swellable polymer). The swellable material may expand in the presence of a stimulus, such as water, conditioned drilling fluid, a completion fluid, a production fluid (i.e. hydrocarbons), other chemical, or any combination thereof. As an example, a swellable material may be placed in the sand control device 300, which expands in the presence of hydrocarbons to form a seal between the walls of the base pipe 302 and the non-permeable section of the sand screen 304 (See e.g. Easy Well Solutions' CONSTRICTOR® or SwellFix's E-ZIP® or P-ZIP®). Further, the sealing element 312 may be activated chemically, mechanically by the removal of a washpipe, and/or via a signal, electrical or hydraulic, to isolate the openings 310 from the fluid flow during some or all of the production operations. For alternative views of the sand control devices 300a and 300b, cross sectional views of the components is shown along the line AA in FIG. 3B, along the line BB in FIG. 3C, along the line CC in FIG. 3D, along the line DD in FIG. 3E, and along the line EE in FIG. 3G.
[0050]Some embodiments of the operation of the sand control device 300 are further described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3F. In FIG. 3A, the sand control device 300a is run to a specific location within the wellbore. The sand control device 300a, which may be coupled to a crossover tool, provides one or more flow paths 314 for carrier fluid through the sand screen 304 and openings 310 into the base pipe 302 during the gravel packing operations. The carrier or gravel pack fluid may include XC gel (xanthomonas campestris or xanthan gum), visco-elastic fluids having non-Newtonian rheology properties, a fluid viscosified with hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) polymer, a fluid viscosified with refined xanthan polymer (e.g. Kelco's XANVIS®), a fluid viscosified with visco-elastic surfactant, and/or a fluid having a favorable rheology and sand carrying capacity for gravel packing the subsurface formation of the wellbore using the at least one sand control device with alternate path technology. During the gravel packing operations, the sealing element 312 does not block the flow path 314 and provides an alternative flow path for carrier fluid in addition to the inflow control devices 308. Once the gravel pack is formed, production operations may begin as shown in FIG. 3F. In FIG. 3F, the sealing element 312 actuates to block fluid flow through the openings 310. As a result, the sand control device 300b, which may be coupled to a production tubing string 128 or other piping, may provide one or more flow paths 316 for formation fluids through the sand screen 304 and inflow control devices 308 into the base pipe 302. Thus, in the embodiment, the openings 310 are isolated to limit fluid flow to only the inflow control devices 308, which are designed to manage the flow of fluids from the interval 108.
[0051]As a specific example, the sand control device 300 may be run in a water-based mud with a hydrocarbon-swellable material used for the sealing element 312. During screen running and gravel packing operations, the chamber between the base pipe 302 and the sand screen 304 is open for fluid flow through the inflow control devices 308 and/or openings 310. However, during production operations, such as post-well testing operations, the sealing element 312 comprising a hydrocarbon-swellable material expands to close off the chamber within the perforated section 326. As a result, the fluid flow is limited to the inflow control devices 308 once the sealing element 312 comprising a hydrocarbon-swellable material isolates the openings 310.
[0052]Alternatively, as another example, if the sand control device 300 is run in an oil-based mud, such as non-aqueous fluid (NAF), a hydrocarbon-swellable material may again be used for the sealing element 312. In this example, the process of expanding the sealing element 312 is evaluated to determine the time associated with isolating the openings to prevent fluid flow in the well. The material comprising the sealing element 312 may be formulated so that the sealing element 312 swells at a known rate in the NAF. Alternatively, a coating or covering of a semi-permeable material that may prevent early swelling of the sealing element 312 may be applied to the sealing element 312. In either case, the expansion process may be designed to proceed at a specified rate to enable certain operations to be performed within the wellbore. After the sealing element 312 swells, the formation fluid is able to enter the interior of the base pipe 302 only through the inflow control devices 308.
[0053]Beneficially, the sand control device 300 with a swellable material may be a passive system that may automatically adjust to manage the flow of fluids into the production tubing string 128. Further, this embodiment is not complex, which reduces manufacturing costs. In addition, the sand control device 300 also provides various operational enhancements. For instance, based on the expansion of the swelling material, full well tests may be performed on the intervals within the subsurface formation before flow is diverted to only the inflow control devices 308. In addition, production operations, such as remediation or treatment operations may be performed by using chemicals, such as acids, to dissolve or shrink the swellable material to increase flow from an individual interval within the well. Alternatively, an electrical or hydraulic signal may also be used to shrink the material. Another alternative embodiment of the sand control device 300 is further described in FIGS. 4A-4G.
[0054]FIGS. 4A-4G are illustrative views of a first alternative embodiment of the sand control device of FIGS. 3A-3G in accordance with aspects of the present invention. In FIGS. 4A-4G, the sand control devices 400a and 400b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 400, are alternate views of a sand control device 400 in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production. Accordingly, the sand control device 400 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIG. 3. In particular, the sand control device 400 may include a main body section 410, an inflow section 412, a first connection section 414, a perforated section 416 and a second connection section 418, which are made of steel or metal alloys. Each of these sections 410-418 may include similar features, operate in a similar manner, and include similar materials to the respective sections 320-328 discussed above.
[0055]However, in this alternative embodiment, the shunt tubes 402 have been included with the sand control device 400. The shunt tubes 402 may include packing tubes and/or transport tubes and may also be utilized with the sand screens 304 for gravel packing and other operations within the wellbore. The packing tubes may have one or more valves or nozzles (not shown) that provide a flow path for the gravel pack slurry, which includes a carrier fluid and gravel, to the annulus formed between the sand screen 304 and the walls of the wellbore. The valves may prevent fluids from an isolated interval from flowing through the at least one shunt tubes to another interval. These shunt tubes are known in the art as further described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,515,915, 5,890,533, 6,220,345 and 6,227,303.
[0056]Accordingly, in this embodiment, the sand control device 400 includes inflow control devices 308, openings 310, a sealing element 312 and shunt tubes 402. In this embodiment, the sealing element 312 may include multiple individual sections or portions, such as a plurality of sealing element 312 sections, positioned between adjacent shunt tubes 402 or a single sealing element 312 with openings for the shunt tubes 402. The plurality of sealing element sections 312, which may include hydraulically actuated inflatable elements or swellable materials, may block fluid flow to the openings 310 within the sand control device 400. For an alternative perspective of the sand control devices 400a and 400b, cross sectional views of some of the various components are shown along the line FF in FIG. 4B, along the line GG in FIG. 4C, along the line HH in FIG. 4D, along the line 11 in FIG. 4E, and along the line JJ in FIG. 4G.
[0057]Some embodiments of the operation of the sand control device 400 are further described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4F. In FIG. 4A, the sand control device 400a is run to a specific location within the wellbore. The sand control device 400a, which may be coupled to a crossover tool, provides one or more flow paths 404 for carrier fluid through the sand screen 304 and openings 310 into the base pipe 302. During the gravel packing operations, the sealing element 312 does not block the flow path 404 and provides an alternative flow path for carrier fluid in addition to the inflow control devices 308. Once the gravel pack is formed, production operations may begin as shown in FIG. 4F. In FIG. 4F, the individual sections of the sealing element 312 swell to block fluid flow through the openings 310. As a result, the sand control device 400b, which may be coupled to a production tubing string 128 or other piping, may provide one or more flow paths 408 for formation fluids through the sand screen 304 and inflow control devices 308 into the base pipe 302. Thus, the openings 310 are isolated to limit flow through the inflow control devices 308, which manages the flow of fluids from the interval 108. Beneficially, by utilizing the shunt tubes 402, longer portions of intervals may be packed without leaking off into the formation. The leaking off into the formation typically is one of the causes of an incomplete gravel pack. Accordingly, the shunt tubes 402 providing a mechanism for forming a substantially complete gravel pack along the sand screen that bypasses sand and/or gravel bridges.
[0058]FIGS. 5A-5F are illustrative views of yet another alternative embodiment of the sand control device of FIGS. 3A-3G in accordance with aspects of the present invention. In FIGS. 5A-5F, the sand control devices 500a and 500b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 500, are alternate views of a sand control device 500 in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production. The sand control device 500 operates in a similar manner as the flow control device 400 and utilizes similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G and 4A-4G. However, in this embodiment, the sealing element 312 and shunt tubes 402 are configured to engage with support members 502 that function similar to the ribs 305 to separate the base pipe 302 from the sand screen 304. The support members 502 may seal with the shunt tubes 402 and support the shunt tubes 402 in one embodiment. Alternatively, the support members 502 may be coupled to the shunt tubes 402 via welds or threaded connections to provide an isolated flow path for fluids from each of the shunt tubes 402 through this portion of the sand control device 500. The support members 502 may be made from steel, metal alloy or other suitable material. Each of the support members 502 are positioned around or coupled to one of the shunt tubes 402 and between the base pipe 302 and the sand screen 304. The sealing element 312 is positioned between adjacent support members 502; which form a defined space for the sections of the sealing element 312 to expand and form a seal between the support members 502, base pipe 302 and sand screen 304. For an alternative perspective of the sand control devices 500a and 500b, cross sectional views of some of the various components are shown along the line KK in FIG. 5B, along the line LL in FIG. 5C, along the line MM in FIG. 5E and along the line NN in FIG. 5F.
[0059]FIGS. 6A-6G are illustrative views of still another alternative embodiment of the sand control device of FIGS. 3A-3G in accordance with aspects of the present invention. In FIGS. 6A-6G, the sand control devices 600a and 600b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 600, are alternate views of a sand control device in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production. Accordingly, the sand control device 600 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G and 4A-4G. In particular, the sand control device 600 may include a main body section 610, an inflow section 612, a first connection section 614, a perforated section 616 and a second connection section 618, which may be made from steel or metal alloys. Each of these sections 610-618 may include similar features, operate in a similar manner, and include similar materials to the respective sections 320-328 discussed above.
[0060]However, in this embodiment, the shunt tubes 602 are external to the sand screen 304. Similar to the shunt tubes 402 noted above, the shunt tubes 602 may include packing tubes, transport tubes, valves and other components utilized for gravel packing an interval within the wellbore. These shunt tubes, which may include any number of geometries, are known in the art and further described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,945,991 and 5,113,935.
[0061]In some embodiments of the present invention, the sand control device 600 includes inflow control devices 308, openings 310, a sealing element 312, and shunt tubes 602, which operate similar to the discussion above. In particular, the sealing element 312, which may be a single element or plurality of sealing sections, may operate in a similar manner to the discussion of FIGS. 4A-4G. That is, the sand control device 600a of FIG. 6A, which may be coupled to a crossover tool, provides one or more flow paths 604 for carrier fluid through the sand screen 304 and openings 310 into the base pipe 302 during the gravel packing operations. Once the gravel pack is formed, the sand control device 600b, which may be coupled to a production tubing string 128 or other piping, may provide one or more flow paths 608 for formation fluids through the sand screen 304 and inflow control devices 308 into the base pipe 302, as shown in FIG. 4F. For an alternative perspective of the sand control devices 600a and 600b, cross sectional views of some of the components are shown along the line OO in FIG. 6B, along the line PP in FIG. 6C, along the line QQ in FIG. 6D, along the line RR in FIG. 6E, and along the line SS in FIG. 6G.
[0062]As another example, FIGS. 7A-7B are illustrative views of another alternative embodiment of a sand control device utilized in the production system of FIG. 1 having an inflow control mechanism having a sealing element in accordance with aspects of the present invention. Similar to the discussion of FIGS. 3A-3G, the sand control devices 700a and 700b, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 700, are alternate views of a sand control device in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production. The sand control device 700 has inflow control devices 308, openings 310 and sealing element 312, which operate similar to the discussion above. However, with this embodiment of the sand control device 700, the inflow control devices 308, openings 310 and sealing element 312 are positioned on the same end of the sand control device 700.
[0063]In some embodiments of the present invention, the sand control device 700 includes various sections, such as a main body section 702, an inflow section 704, a perforated section 706, a first connection section 708 and a second connection section 710, which are made of steel or metal alloys, as noted above. The main body section 702 and connection sections 708 and 710 may be configured similar to the sections 320, 324 and 328, which are discussed above. However, in this embodiment, while the inflow section 704 and perforated section 706 may be configured to have similar lengths to 322 and 326, as discussed of FIGS. 3A-3G, the inflow section 704 and perforated section 706 are positioned on the same end of the sand control device 700.
[0064]In some embodiments of the present invention, the sand control device 700 is run to a specific location within the wellbore. In FIG. 7A, the sand control device 700, which may be coupled to a crossover tool, provides one or more flow paths 712 for carrier fluid through the sand screen 304 and openings 310 into the base pipe 302. Again, during the gravel packing operations, the sealing element 312 does not block the flow path 712 to provide an alternative flow path for carrier fluid. Once the gravel pack is formed, production operations may begin as shown in FIG. 7B. In FIG. 7B, the sealing element 312 swells to block fluid flow through the openings 310. As a result, the sand control device 700b, which may be coupled to a production tubing string 128 or other piping, may provide one or more flow paths 714 for formation fluids through the sand screen 304 and inflow control devices 308 into the base pipe 302. Thus, the openings 310 are isolated to limit flow through the inflow control devices 308, which manage the flow of fluids from the interval 108.
Sand Control Device with Conduit
[0065]FIGS. 8A-8C are illustrative views of an embodiment of a sand control device utilized in the production system of FIG. 1 with an inflow control mechanism having a conduit in accordance with aspects of the present invention. In FIGS. 8A-8C, the sand control device 800 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G. However, in this embodiment, one or more conduits, which are shown as a single conduit 802 for simplicity, and barrier element 804 are utilized to provide the frictional pressure loss for the sand control device instead of the inflow control devices 308. Accordingly, the conduit 802 and barrier element 804 may enhance gravel packing and production operations within the wellbore, as described herein.
[0066]In an exemplary embodiment 800, the sand control device 800 includes a main body section 810, a perforation section 812, a first connection section 814 and a second connection section 816, which may be made from steel or metal alloys. Similar to the sections 320, 324 and 326 of FIGS. 3A-3G, the sections 810, 814 and section 816 may be made from similar material, include similar components and be configured in a similar manner, as noted above. The perforated section 812 may be made of steel and/or metal alloys and configured to be between about 4 in and about 4 ft, having specific internal and outer diameters.
[0067]In an exemplary embodiment, the sand control device 800 includes a conduit 802 and barrier element 804 that are used to manage the flow of fluids during the gravel packing and production operations. The conduit 802 may include one or more tubes (similar to a shunt tube 402 of FIG. 4), one or more channels, or other similar fluid passages. The conduit 802 extends between the isolated chambers formed between the base pipe 302, sand screen 304 and barrier element 804 within the main body section 302 and the perforated section 812. The conduit 802 has a pre-defined diameter and length to provide adequate leak-off during the gravel pack process to achieve a complete or substantially complete pack. For instance, in different embodiments, the conduit 802 may have diameter from 1/4 in to 1 in, may include from 1 to 36 conduits, and have a length d of about 10 feet (ft) to about 50 ft. In addition, the diameter and length of the tube may be selected to provide sufficient choking through frictional pressure losses during production operations to operate similar to inflow control devices. The diameter and length of the conduit 802 may be determined from experience, fluid properties, modeling and/or calculations (i.e. computational fluid dynamics calculations or equations that involve the properties of the carrier fluid and formation fluids for the different operations). The barrier element 804 may be formed from steel, metal alloys, swellable material (i.e. the sealing element 312), and/or other suitable material that forms to isolate the chambers in the main body section 810 and the perforated section 812 from each other. For an alternative perspective of the sand control device 800, a cross sectional view of the components is shown along the line TT in FIG. 8B and along the line UU in FIG. 8C.
[0068]In some methods of operation of the present invention, the sand control device 800 is run to a specific location within the wellbore. During gravel packing and production operations, fluid flows along the flow path 806, which enters through the sand screen 304 into the first chamber, flows through the conduit 802 to the second chamber, and enters the base pipe 302 through the perforations 310. For gravel packing operations, the carrier fluid flows through the conduit 802 in a manner that allows the gravel pack to be formed around the sand control device 800. Accordingly, the carrier fluid utilized for the gravel packing operations may be designed to have reduced friction loss properties relative to water or hydrocarbons. For example, the carrier fluid may include fluids used for alternate path gravel packing operations, as noted above. By selecting carrier fluids with low friction loss properties, the carrier fluid and gravel may be flowed through the well to form the gravel pack that is substantially complete. However, hydrocarbon and water production, which inherently have higher frictional pressure drop, are more restricted resulting in an inflow control effect.
[0069]As a specific example, the pressure loss for conduits may be calculated and utilized to select the pipes, which enhance operations over inflow control devices, such as nozzles. Specifically, if the pressure losses during production operations are calculated to utilize two 4 millimeter (mm) nozzles, then two conduits having a length of 30 ft and a diameter of 10 mm may be utilized during production operations. The pressure loss or choking, for both the nozzles and conduits, is about 150 psi at 550 barrels of oil per day (bopd) per screen joint. However, the nozzles and conduits may function differently during gravel packing operations. For instance, the carrier fluid may be an XC gel that flows at 1/2 barrel per minute (bpm) for each sand control device. The resulting pressure loss of the nozzles, which may be about 500 pounds per square inch (psi), is about 5 times the pressure loss of two conduits, which may be about 100 psi.
[0070]Beneficially, the conduit 802 and chamber formed by the barrier element 804 are utilized to choke the flow of hydrocarbons and water with frictional pressure losses, as opposed to pressure losses from inflow control devices or nozzles. While both techniques operate in a similar manner for production operations, the conduit 802 provides a mechanism for gravel packing operations to be performed efficiently, while the inflow control devices only tend to choke back the carrier fluid and hinder gravel pack formation.
[0071]Another alternative embodiment of the sand control device 800 is further described in FIGS. 9A-9E. FIGS. 9A-9E are illustrative views of a first alternative embodiment of sand control devices of FIGS. 8A-8C in accordance with aspects of the present invention. FIGS. 9A-9E show alternative views of the sand control device 900 in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production, with the addition of internal shunt tubes 402. Accordingly, the sand control device 900 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G, 4A-4G and 8A-8C. In this embodiment, the shunt tubes 402 have been included with the sand control device 900 to provide a mechanism for gravel packing other portions of the wellbore through the sand control device 900, as is described below. Again, as noted above, the shunt tubes 402 may include packing tubes and/or transport tubes and may also be utilized with the sand screens 304 for gravel packing within the wellbore.
[0072]In FIGS. 9A-9G, the sand control device 900 includes openings 310, shunt tubes 402, conduit 802 and barrier element 804. The barrier element 804 is positioned between the base pipe 302 and the sand screen 304 to isolate the chambers in the main body section 810 and the perforated section 812 from each other. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the barrier element 804 may include multiple individual sections, such as a plurality of barrier sections, positioned between adjacent shunt tubes 402 and/or conduit 802 or may be a single element with openings for the shunt tubes 402 and/or conduit 802. Fluid from the interval may flow along the path 902 for gravel packing and production operations. For an alternative perspective of the sand control device 900, cross sectional views of some of the components are shown along the line W in FIG. 9B, along the line WW in FIG. 9C, along the line XX in FIG. 9D and along the line YY in FIG. 9E.
[0073]As another example, FIGS. 10A-10C are illustrative views of a second alternative embodiment of sand control device of FIGS. 8A-8C in accordance with aspects of the present invention. FIGS. 10A-10C show alternative views of a sand control device 1000 in different stages of operation, such as gravel packing and production, with the addition of external shunt tubes 602. Accordingly, the sand control device 1000 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G, 6A-6G and 8A-8C. In this embodiment, the shunt tubes 602 have been included with the sand control device 1000 to provide a mechanism for gravel packing other portions of the wellbore through the sand control device 1000, as described below. Again, the shunt tubes 602 may include packing tubes and/or transport tubes to gravel pack the sand control device 1000 within the wellbore.
[0074]In FIGS. 10A-10C, the sand control device 1000 includes openings 310, shunt tubes 602, conduit 802 and barrier element 804. The barrier element 804 is positioned between the base pipe 302 and the sand screen 304 to isolate the chambers in the main body section 810 and the perforated section 812 from each other. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the barrier element 804 may be a single element with openings for the conduit 802. Fluid from the interval may flow along the path 1002 for gravel packing and production operations. For an alternative perspective of the sand control device 1000, cross sectional views of some of the various components are shown along the line ZZ in FIG. 10B and along the line A'A' in FIG. 10C.
Sand Control Device with Sliding Sleeve
[0075]FIGS. 11A-11F are illustrative views of yet another alternative embodiment of a sand control device utilized in the production system of FIG. 1 with an inflow control mechanism having a sleeve in accordance with aspects of the present invention. FIGS. 11A-11F show alternative views of the sand control devices 1100a-1100f in different stages of operation, utilizing the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIGS. 3A-3G. However, in this embodiment, a sleeve 1102, which may be adjusted into a plurality of positions, such as a running position, gravel packing position, and production position, is utilized to control flow paths through the sand control devices 1100a-1100f, which may collectively be referred to as sand control device 1100. For example, the sleeve 1102 in FIGS. 11A-11C is configured to rotate around the circumference of the base pipe 302 in the directions indicated by the arrows 1104 and 1106, while the sleeve 1102 in FIGS. 11D-11F is configured to slide along the longitudinal axis of the base pipe 302 in the directions indicated by the arrows 1107 and 1108. Regardless of the specific sleeve configuration, the sleeve 1102 is adjustable to control the pressure loss for the different well operations and may be disposed externally or internally adjacent to the base pipe 302.
[0076]In one exemplary embodiment, the sand control device 1100 includes a main body section 1110, a perforation section 1112, a first connection section 1114 and a second connection section 1116, which are made of steel or metal alloys. Similar to the sections 320, 324 and 326 of FIGS. 3A-3G, the sections 1110, 1114 and section 1116 may made from similar material, include similar components and be configured in a similar manner, as noted above. The perforated section 1112 may be made of steel and/or metal alloys and configured to be between about 4 in and about 4 ft, having specific internal and outer diameters.
[0077]In some embodiments, the sand control device 1100 may further include an inflow control device 308, openings 310, and a sleeve 1102 that are used to manage the flow of fluids during running, gravel packing and production operations. The sleeve 1102 may include a body of steel or metal alloy having a sealing element secured to the body. While the sleeve 1102 is shown positioned externally around the base pipe 302, the sleeve 1102 may also be disposed internal to the base pipe 302 in other embodiments.
[0078]In some embodiments of the operation of the present invention, the sleeve 1102 is configured to move between different positions, such as a running position as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11D, a gravel packing position as shown in FIGS. 11B and 11E, and a production position as shown in FIGS. 11C and 11F. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11D, the sleeve 1102 may be biased into the running position by a biasing member (not shown). In the running position, the sleeve 1102 may block fluid flow into the inflow control device 308 and the openings 310 by forming a seal that covers these components. Then, the sleeve 1102 may be moved into the gravel packing position by moving a washpipe through the sand control device 1100a. The movement of the washpipe may break or disengage the biasing member. In the gravel packing position, the sleeve 1102 may block fluid flow into the inflow control device 308, but provide a fluid path through the openings 310, as shown in FIGS. 11B and 11E. In this manner, the carrier fluid may return from the wellbore through the sand screen 304 and into the openings 310. Once the gravel pack is formed, the washpipe may be removed from the sand control device 1100b. The removal of the washpipe may move the sleeve 1102 into the production position, as shown in FIGS. 11C and 11F. In the production position, the sleeve 1102 may block fluid flow into the openings 310, but provide a fluid path through the inflow control device 308. In this manner, the formation fluid, such as hydrocarbons, may flow from the wellbore through the sand screen 304 and inflow control device 310 into the base pipe 302. It should be noted that the sleeve 1102, which may be controlled electrically or hydraulically as well, may be moved into the running position to block flow from the interval if water production is detected.
[0079]Beneficially, the sleeve 1102 having multiple positions may be utilized to manage the flow of fluids from the wellbore in an efficient manner. The sleeve 1102 provides additional flexibility for production operations and may reduce potential workovers by isolating the interval or portion of the interval adjacent to the sand control device 1100. However, note that the rotation of the sleeve may also include helical or other radial movement or rotation in other configurations.
[0080]As noted, the problems with the water/gas production may include productivity loss, equipment damage, and/or increased treating, handling and disposal costs. These problems are further compounded for wells having a number of different completion intervals, such as intervals 108a-108n, and where the formation strength may vary from interval to interval. As such, water or gas breakthrough in any one of the intervals may threaten the remaining reserves within the well. Accordingly, to provide the zonal isolation or manage the flow of fluids within the wellbore 114, packers may be utilized with the sand control devices 138a-138n, which may include one or more of the embodiments 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 1100, as discussed below in FIG. 12.
[0081]FIG. 12 is an alternative exemplary production system 1200 in accordance with certain aspects of the present invention. The exemplary production system 1200 utilizes the reference numerals for similar components to those described above in FIG. 1. However, packers 1202a-1202n, wherein number "n" is any integer number, are utilized in this embodiment to isolate various intervals 108a-108n of the wellbore 114 from each other. The packers 1202a-1202n may include any suitable packers, such as the packers described in U.S. Provisional Application 60/765,023. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the various embodiments of sand control devices 138 along with the packers 1202a-1202n may be utilized to manage the flow of hydrocarbons or provide zonal isolation within the well.
[0082]As an example, to manage the flow of hydrocarbons, the sand control devices 138a-138n may include one or more of the embodiments 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 1100. If the sand control device 138 includes a water-swellable material as the sealing element 312 or has a sleeve 1102, the openings 310 may be utilized for gravel packing and production operations to maximize the production flow until water is produced from the interval. Once water is produced, the sealing element 312 may expand or the sleeve may be adjusted to the production position to seal the openings 310 from the formation fluid. As a result, the inflow control devices 308 are the only path from the interval to the interior of the base pipe 302. Beneficially, this embodiment may limit the impact of water production from one of the intervals of the formation.
[0083]To provide zonal isolation within the wellbore 114, the packers 1202a-1202n may be utilized with the sand control devices 138a-138n, which may include at least the embodiment 1100. In this example, the sand control device 138 may include a sleeve 1102 configured to provide or block access to the inflow control device 308 and openings 310. The openings 310 may be utilized for gravel packing, while the inflow control device 308 may be utilized for production operations. Once water is produced, the sleeve 1102 may be moved to the running position to seal the openings 310 and inflow control device 308 from the water. As a result, at least one sand control device 138 and two adjacent packers 1202a-1202n may be utilized to seal an interval within the wellbore 114. Alternatively, a water-swellable packer can be used for the same function when combined with any of the embodiments.
[0084]As alternative embodiments, different geometric patterns or any numbers of tubes, such as shunt tubes 402 and 602 and conduit 802, may be utilized for different applications. These tubes may be configured to provide redundancy flow paths or baffling (staggering) within the sand control devices 138. For example, while the sand control device 400 is shown with nine internal shunt tubes 402, sand control devices may include any number of shunt tubes, such as a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or more depending on the specific application. Also, while the sand control device 600 is shown with four external shunt tubes 602, sand control devices may include any number of shunt tubes, such as a one, two, three, four or more depending again on the specific application. Further, while the sand control device 800 is shown with one conduit 802, sand control devices may include any number of conduits, such as a one, two, three, four or more depending again on the specific application. In addition, it should again be noted that the tubes may include a variety of shapes and may be selected based upon on space limitations, pressure loss, and burst/collapse capacity. For instance, the tubes may be circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, polygons, or other shapes for different applications.
[0085]Similarly, the tubular members, such as base pipe 302 and sand screen 304, may include different geometric patterns, as discussed with the tubes, for different applications. For instance, the tubular member may include shapes, such as circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, polygons, or other shapes for different application. Also, while these tubular members are shown in a concentric configuration, eccentric configurations may also be utilized depending on the specific applications.
[0086]Further, these embodiments may be utilized with gravel placement procedures (i.e. gravel packing operations), which are discussed in U.S. Patent Application No. 60/765,023. For instance, a wellbore may be drilled with a drilling fluid to access a subsurface formation. The drilling fluid may be conditioned, by shakers and other equipment to remove material above a certain size. Then, one or more sand control devices may be positioned within or run into a wellbore adjacent to a subsurface formation in the conditioned drilling mud. The sand control devices may be any of the embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein, and/or other configurations already known or unknown, or some combination thereof. The sand control device may include inflow control mechanism to provide pressure loss during gravel packing operations that are less than the pressure loss during some of the production operations. A crossover tool may be coupled to or engaged with the sand control device and a packer may be set above the sand control device to isolate the wellbore above the sand control device. Once set, the conditioned drilling fluid adjacent to the sand control device may be displaced with a carrier fluid. Then, the carrier fluid with gravel may be circulated through the cross over tool to form a gravel pack around the sand control device within the wellbore. Then, the crossover tool may be disengaged from the sand control device and a production tubing string may be coupled to the sand control device. Then, an adjustment may be made to the sand control device to limit the fluid flow during production operations, in the different approaches discussed above. Then, hydrocarbons may be produced through the gravel pack and sand control device.
[0087]It should be noted that the term "above," when used to describe the position of a device in a well should be construed broadly and not limited to mean "closer to the surface." As is known, some wells may be horizontal or even have a slight upward angle such that a device that is closer to the surface may be farther "down" the production string if the path of the well is taken. Here, "above" or "below," when used in the context of a production string arrangement refers to the path of the production string, not the straight line distance to the earth's surface.
[0088]While the present invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, the exemplary embodiments discussed above have been shown only by way of example. However, it should again be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed herein. Indeed, the present invention includes all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents falling within the true spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/744,854 filed on Oct. 4, 2012 the content of which is relied upon and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] 1. Field
[0003] The present specification generally relates to articles comprised of glass core and clad layers, more specifically, to laminated articles comprising a glass core sandwiched between first and second glass clad layers, the clad layers being formed from photosensitive glass.
[0004] 2. Technical Background
[0005] Glass articles, such as cover glasses, glass backplanes and the like, are employed in both consumer and commercial electronic devices such as LCD and LED displays, computer monitors, automated teller machines (ATMs) and the like. Some of these glass articles may include "touch" functionality which necessitates that the glass article be contacted by various objects including a user's fingers and/or stylus devices and, as such, the glass must be sufficiently robust to endure regular contact without damage. Moreover, such glass articles may also be incorporated in portable electronic devices, such as mobile telephones, personal media players, and tablet computers. The glass articles incorporated in these devices may be susceptible to damage during transport and/or use of the associated device. Accordingly, glass articles used in electronic devices may require enhanced strength to be able to withstand not only routine "touch" contact from actual use, but also incidental contact and impacts which may occur when the device is being transported.
[0006] According to the present disclosure, a method for forming a laminated glass article from a glass core layer and directly adjacent glass clad layers formed from one or more photosensitive glass compositions.
[0007] In some embodiments, a method is disclosed comprising forming, with the fusion lamination process, a laminate glass sheet having at least one cladding layer formed from a photosensitive glass composition which is adjacent to a core layer formed from a glass composition, which in some embodiments, is not a photosensitive glass composition. After fusion draw of the laminate structure comprised of the core and cladding layers, the laminate structure is then exposed to UV light, sufficient to cause nucleation within the photosensitive composition, thereby growing a secondary crystal phase within that cladding layer which results in compressively stressing the clad layer, and strengthening the laminated glass structure.
[0008] In another set of embodiments, a laminated glass article formed from the above method is also disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the core glass has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, where the first glass cladding layer is fused to the first surface of the glass core layer and a second glass cladding layer is fused to the second surface of the glass core layer. In other embodiments, a first diffusive glass layer is disposed between the glass core layer and the first glass cladding layer; additionally a second diffusive glass layer is disposed between the glass core layer and the second glass cladding layer; these diffusive layers is formed during, for example, the fusion forming process, or in one or more post-fusion UV light treatment steps.
[0009] Additional features and advantages of the glass compositions and glass articles formed from the glass compositions will be set forth in the detailed description which follows, and in part will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from that description or recognized by practicing the embodiments described herein, including the detailed description which follows, the claims, as well as the appended drawings.
[0010] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description describe various embodiments and are intended to provide an overview or framework for understanding the nature and character of the claimed subject matter. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the various embodiments, and are incorporated into and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate the various embodiments described herein, and together with the description serve to explain the principles and operations of the claimed subject matter.
[0011] FIG. 1 schematically depicts a cross section of a laminated glass article according to one or more embodiments shown and described herein; and
[0012] FIG. 2 schematically depicts a fusion draw process for making the glass article of FIG. 1.
[0013] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of glass-ceramic compositions disclosed herein and articles incorporating the same, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
[0014] The term "liquidus viscosity," as used herein, refers to the shear viscosity of the glass composition at its liquidus temperature.
[0015] The term "liquidus temperatures," as used herein, refers to the highest temperature at which devitrification occurs in the glass composition
[0016] The term "CTE," as used herein, refers to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass composition averaged over a temperature range from about 20° C. to about 300° C.
[0017] The term "substantially free," when used to described the absence of a particular oxide component in a glass composition, means that the component is present in the glass composition as a contaminant in a trace amount of less than 1 mol. %.
[0018] In the embodiments of the glass compositions described herein, the concentration of constituent components (e.g., SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O and the like) are given in mole percent (mol. %) on an oxide basis, unless otherwise specified.
[0019] The glass compositions described herein may optionally include one or more fining agents. The fining agents may include, for example, SnO2, As2O3, Sb2O3 and combinations thereof. The fining agents may be present in the glass compositions in an amount greater than or equal to about 0 mol. % and less than or equal to about 0.5 mol. %. In exemplary embodiments, the fining agent is SnO2. In these embodiments, SnO2 may be present in the glass composition in a concentration which is greater than about 0 mol. % and less than or equal to about 0.2 mol. % or even less than or equal to about 0.15 mol. %.
[0020] In some embodiments described herein, the glass compositions may further comprise trace amounts of other oxides.
[0021] In some embodiments described herein, the glass compositions are substantially free of heavy metals and compounds containing heavy metals. Glass compositions which are substantially free from heavy metals and compounds containing heavy metals may also be referred to as "SuperGreen" glass compositions. The term "heavy metals," as used herein, refers to Ba, As, Sb, Cd, and Pb.
[0022] The glass compositions disclosed herein have a liquidus viscosity which renders them suitable for use in a fusion draw process and, in particular, for use as a glass cladding composition or a glass core composition in a fusion laminate process.
[0023] Referring now to FIG. 1, the glass compositions described herein may be used to form an article, such as the laminated glass article 100 schematically depicted in cross section in FIG. 1. The laminated glass article 100 generally comprises a glass core layer 102 and a pair of glass cladding layers 104a, 104b. The glass compositions described herein are particularly well suited for use as the glass claddings layers, as will be discussed in more detail herein.
[0024] FIG. 1 illustrates the glass core layer 102 shown comprising a first surface 103a and a second surface 103b which is opposed to the first surface 103a. A first glass cladding layer 104a is fused directly to the first surface 103a of the glass core layer 102 and a second glass cladding layer 104b is fused directly to the second surface 103b of the glass core layer 102. Post-ceramming, the glass cladding layers 104a, 104b are fused to the glass core layer 102 without any additional materials, such as adhesives, polymer layers, coating layers or the like, being disposed between the glass core layer 102 and the glass cladding layers 104a, 104b. Thus, a first surface of the glass core layer is directly adjacent the first glass cladding layer, and a second surface of the glass core layer is directly adjacent the second glass cladding layer. In some embodiments, the glass core layer 102 and the glass cladding layers 104a, 104b are formed via a fusion lamination process. Diffusive layers (not shown) may form between the glass core layer 102 and the glass cladding layer 104a, or between the glass core layer 102 and the glass cladding layer 104b, or both.
[0025] In at least some of the embodiments of the laminated glass article 100 described herein, the glass cladding layers 104a, 104b are formed from a first glass-ceramic composition having an average cladding coefficient of thermal expansion CTEclad and the glass core layer 102 is formed from a second, different glass composition which has an average coefficient of thermal expansion CTEcore.
[0026] Specifically, the glass articles 100 described herein may be formed by a fusion lamination process such as the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,214,886, which is incorporated herein by reference. Referring to FIG. 2 by way of example, a laminate fusion draw apparatus 200 for forming a laminated glass article includes an upper isopipe 202 which is positioned over a lower isopipe 204. The upper isopipe 202 includes a trough 210 into which a molten glass cladding composition 206 is fed from a melter (not shown). Similarly, the lower isopipe 204 includes a trough 212 into which a molten glass core composition 208 is fed from a melter (not shown). In the embodiments described herein, the molten glass core composition 208 has an appropriately high liquidus viscosity to be run over the lower isopipe 204.
[0027] As the molten glass core composition 208 fills the trough 212, it overflows the trough 212 and flows over the outer forming surfaces 216, 218 of the lower isopipe 204. The outer forming surfaces 216, 218 of the lower isopipe 204 converge at a root 220. Accordingly, the molten glass core composition 208 flowing over the outer forming surfaces 216, 218 rejoins at the root 220 of the lower isopipe 204 thereby forming a glass core layer 102 of a laminated glass structure.
[0028] Simultaneously, the molten glass-ceramic cladding compositions 206 overflows the trough 210 formed in the upper isopipe 202 and flows over outer forming surfaces 222, 224 of the upper isopipe 202. The molten glass-ceramic cladding composition 206 has a lower liquidus viscosity requirement to be run on the upper isopipe 202, and will have a CTE either equal to or less than the glass core composition 208 (for example, within about 5×10-7) when present as a glass. The molten glass-ceramic cladding composition 206 is outwardly deflected by the upper isopipe 202 such that the molten glass cladding composition 206 flows around the lower isopipe 204 and contacts the molten glass core composition 208 flowing over the outer forming surfaces 216, 218 of the lower isopipe, fusing to the molten glass core composition and forming pre-cerammed glass cladding layers 104a, 104b around the glass core layer 102.
[0029] In some embodiments, in the laminated sheet so formed, the clad thickness will also be significantly thinner than the core glass thickness so that the clad goes into compression and the core into tension. But as the CTE difference is low, the magnitude of the tensile stress in the core will be very low (e.g on the order of 10 MPa or lower) which will allow for the production of a laminated sheet that will be relatively easy to cut off the draw due to its low levels of core tension. Sheets can thus be cut from the laminate structure or laminated article that is drawn from the fusion draw apparatus, and after the sheets are cut, the cut product can then be subjected to a suitable UV light treatment(s), such as to form a final laminated article.
[0030] In some embodiments, the liquidus viscosity of the photosensitive glass is about 200 kP or below; in some of these embodiments, the photosensitive glass is a high alkali (largely Li) aluminosilicate glass. The liquidus viscosity can be changed with glass components, such as changing the ratio of alumina to alkalis or the blend of alkalis; additionally, the photosensitivity sensitivity can be changed, for example per method used.
[0031] For example, in some embodiments the glass is exposed to UV light which results in nucleation by Ag and, upon heat treatment, lithium silicate crystals are grown such as lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) and/or lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5). In some embodiments, the CTE of the as-made glass is in the range of 70-80×10-7 C. Subjecting this glass to a second and higher temperature, some re-crystallization occurs to form β-spodumene, resulting in a lowered CTE, to about 60×10-7 C. In embodiments where Li2Si2O5 persists plus silica (low-T tridymite), the CTE is higher, for example up to about 100×10-7 C. The CTE of the as-made glass can match that of the inner (core) glass while being formed, but then can be changed to form a compressive (clad) layer upon photosensitive-driven crystallization.
[0032] Exemplary photosensitive glasses are provided in Table 1.

[0033] The exemplary glasses in Table 1 are also candidates for ion-exchange, even if they are not used as photosensitive material because of the high Li content. The Li can be exchanged with a Na- or K-rich inner glass to form a strengthened laminate. Such alkali migration could also occur during the draw.

After 9 months of torture he comes home to find his wife and a baby. As he sees her? I’m in tears.
This is a real life story of a Lieutenant Dan. Dr. Lt. Dan, an officer in the Navy, was deployed to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010. His wife becomes pregnant before he is deployed. The experience was agonizing for the two, as Dan was unable to be present for the birth. But 9 months later, the length of a pregnancy, Dan returns home to something he never expected.
Such moments are truly once-in-a-life experiences that must be treasured forever. How wonderful that the whole experience was captured on camera.
When I saw the 3 come together for the frist time, I started crying. The sacrifice that the 2 made is something no one deserves to be put through. But this video proves that sometimes love finds a way to triumph over even the most unbearable circumstances. Share this hero's well-deserved and touching homecoming to celebrate this triumph.

How To Get Your Lost Husband Back
“LOVE is the key to LIFE”. That was the word from Dr Ukaka when I consulted his powerful Love Temple. I married the wrong man; I realized that after four years of our unfruitful marriage. Everything was going from Best to Worst in our life, no child, I got demoted from work after our marriage, my husband was sacked a year after. His application for new job in various offices was constantly declined even though he was qualified enough. I was made to take care of my family with the low income I earn get that wasn’t enough to pay our rent. We keep praying a seeking for help from some people, my friends laugh at me behind because I was advised not to get married yet.It was one Thursday night that my husband woke me up and told me that has thought enough about our crisis, he said that our crisis is not ordinary and it’s beyond our spiritual level. He suggested we should consult Dr Ukaka from testimonies he showed me online about how he has been helping families. I was afraid, I don’t like evil or spell but I supported him to contact him if he can help us. We consulted him via freedomlovespell@hotmail.com and he replied positively after 20munites with congratulating email that he can help us but he will need our pure heart and trusts in his work if he will cast the spell on us and purify our life. We agreed to his terms. He cast the spell and told us to expect results within 5days. I waited for three days nothing happened, so I started having doubt and blaming my husband for emailing Dr Ukaka. It was on the fifth day that my husband was called for an interview and he got a well-paying work, I was prompted to a higher position. I missed my period on the 5th day and it was confirmed that I am with a baby. Things have really changed for us for good and we now have our own house and cars. I will never forget what Dr Ukaka told us “LOVE is the key to LIFE”, this word keep me going. People that laughed at us are coming close for help and I am delighted to welcome them because my family is now blessed. Dr Ukaka is a savior and man that keep to his word even when I doubted his powers at the end of the spell. Thank you great Dr Ukaka and your Oracle for helping us via freedomlovespell@hotmail.com and I will keep spreading this message to people in need of help. also contact him for help.website address: freedomlovespelltemple.yolasite.com ;

US Watchdog: Afghan Military Shrinking Sharply
The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), a Pentagon watchdog, is warning that the Afghan military is in sharp decline over the last 12 months, as rising casualties and desertion rates far outstrip its ability to recruit.
Over 12 months, the Afghan security forces have 10 percent less personnel, down to around 300,000. While reports of growing casualties, struggling recruitment, and desertion have been common, this is the first actually data offered on the size of the problem.
US Sanctions Hit International Chess Organization FIDE
The bank account of FIDE, a premier chess organization that governs some major international chess competitions, maintains rules adhered to at many other tournaments, calculates players’ ratings, and awards titles such as Grandmaster, was shut down this week. Peter Doggers reports at chess.com that FIDE officials say UBS Bank was terminating FIDE’s account because FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is included “on the sanctions list of the US Department of the Treasury” though “Ilyumzhinov himself has stated that the sanctions were not mentioned by UBS.” Doggers notes that FIDE, also known as the World Chess Federation, has been unable to establish an account with another bank since UBS, a Switzerland bank, announced in February that the FIDE account would be terminated.
The Clever Moon Jae-in: Trump Should Win the Nobel Prize
Wow, South Korean President Moon Jae-in really wants peace and harmony on the Korean peninsula. This is one great man.
From the day he was elected, the goal of Moon has been to ratchet down tensions between his country and North Korea--and he has done just that. But there remains an orange strand of hair in the ointment belonging to the unpredictable United States president Donald Trump.

David Stockman Enters Hostile Territory to Support Nonintervention and Oppose Increased Military Spending
Investing and current affairs writer David Stockman found himself in hostile territory this week in an interview at the Fox Business show Mornings with Maria. In the often-tense interview, Stockman seems to shock and rile some of the show’s hosts with his assessments that the United States military should not have been given a big monetary infusion in the recent spending deal worked out by President Donald Trump and Congress and that the US should stop its excessive military intervention overseas.

Lawrence Wilkerson: Cowardly Congress, Apathetic Americans Allow US Military Intervention
Retired United States Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell in the George W. Bush administration, explains in a new interview the reason he believes the US president “can do anything he pleases with regard to the armed forces of the United States anytime he pleases.” That reason, says Wilkerson in a The Real News Interview with host Sharmini Peries, “is because the American people are apathetic” and “their representatives in the Congress are … cowards” who, but for “few exceptions like [Sen.] Mike Lee [(R-UT)] and [Sen.] Bernie Sanders [(I-VT)] and some of the others,” will not do anything to restrain such exercise of presidential power.
US: Russia Hacked The Evidence Of Chemical Attack In Syria
We are now being told (and I assure you I am not making this up) that if the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons doesn’t find evidence that the Syrian government conducted a chemical weapons attack in Douma last week, it’s because Russia hid the evidence.
“It is our understanding the Russians may have visited the attack site,” reports US Ambassador Kenneth Ward. “It is our concern that they may have tampered with it with the intent of thwarting the efforts of the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission to conduct an effective investigation.”
I guess the idea is that this international top-level investigative team on which tremendous credibility has been placed by the western world can be thwarted by Russians showing up with a Hoover and spraying some Febreze in the air like a teenage stoner when mom comes home? I’m not sure, but given the immense dearth of evidence we’ve been seeing in support of the establishment Douma narrative and the mounting pile of evidence contradicting it, it sure does sound fishy.

Trump Ordering Syria Attack Would Be an Unconstitutional, But Not Uncommon, Presidential Action
Louis Fisher, a Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Academic Board member and United States Constitution scholar, is quoted, in a Thursday Washington Examiner article by Steven Nelson, declaring that a unilateral decision by President Donald Trump to use military force against Syria would be unconstitutional as well as not authorized under the War Powers Resolution. Yet, Trump taking such action, says Fisher, would also be in line with military actions regularly pursued by previous presidents.

Community Column: News From Ski Rossendale
Published October 7, 2016 at 16:44
Ski Rossendale is working towards becoming a centre for the new and totally unique reduced risk training centre for our British Park and Pipe freestyle squads.
Should this further development reach final approval funding for the project will come from Sport England.
A Planning application has been submitted to Rossendale Borough Council for the specific requirements.
The main Olympic medal hopes along with the up and coming squad members will have the chance to train throughout the summer prior to getting out on the snow, this should greatly increase their chances of success on the world stage.
David Fuller, Business development director of Ski Rossendale said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity both for Ski Rossendale and for the Rossendale Valley as a whole. I’m sure that if successful it will bring more people to the centre to watch these athletes train and allow the development of future talent’ and we are working hard with Sport England and British Park and Pipe towards making this a reality”.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Alyson Barnes, commented that this would be a major development in the ongoing regeneration of Ski Rossendale;
“Rossendale Borough Council is committed and looking forward to further developing the partnership with Ski Rossendale. This will be so inspiring for children to see these Olympic skiers and snowboarders here in Rossendale and helps put us firmly on the map as a must visit place”.
Karon Driver, Director of Ski Rossendale added:
“From a coach development perspective, this would be a wonderful opportunity to learn from the GB coaches and then to pass on that knowledge to future freestyle skiers and snowboarders developing pathways to Olympic success.”

A Labour/ Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) would easily win election over National Party (41.5%, down 0.5%)
Topic: Federal Poll Public Opinion
This latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll on voting intention was conducted by telephone – both landline and mobile telephone, with a NZ wide cross-section of 839 electors from September 30-October 13, 2013. Of all electors surveyed a high 4.5% (down 0.5%) didn’t name a party.
Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a potential Labour/ Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) with a clear election winning lead over John Key’s National Party (41.5%, down 0.5%). Support for Key’s Coalition partners has changed little with the Maori Party 1.5% (up 0.5%), ACT NZ 0.5% (unchanged) and United Future 0% (down 0.5%).
Support for the Labour Party is 37% (unchanged), Greens has risen to 12.5% (up 1%), New Zealand First 5% (up 0.5%), Mana Party 0.5% (unchanged), Conservative Party of NZ 0.5% (down 1.5%) and Others 1% (up 0.5%).
If a National Election were held now the latest New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows that a Labour/ Greens alliance would win easily.
The latest NZ Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has fallen to 124 (down 5.5pts) with 55% (down 4%) of New Zealanders saying New Zealand is ‘heading in the right direction’ compared to 31% (up 1.5%) that say New Zealand is ‘heading in the wrong direction’.
Gary Morgan says:
“Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows a potential Labour/Greens Alliance (49.5%, up 1%) increasing their lead over the governing National (41.5%, down 0.5%) just over one year out from New Zealand’s expected November 2014 election.
“New Labour Party Leader David Cunliffe has re-invigorated the main Opposition Labour Party (37%, unchanged) who are now just 4.5% behind National – the closest Labour has been for five years since October 2008 when Labour was still in Government under former Prime Minister Helen Clark.”
Electors were asked: “If a New Zealand Election were held today which party would receive your party vote?”
Office +61 3 9224 5213
Mobile +61 411 129 094
New Zealand Voting Intention Summary
Two-Party Preferred: National Party-led Government vs. Parliamentary Opposition Parties
New Zealand Government Confidence: Heading in "Right" or "Wrong" direction?
The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. The following table gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. The figures are approximate and for general guidance only, and assume a simple random sample.
Huge majorities of Australian Consumers (88%) and Businesses (74%) not happy with Joe Hockey’s first Federal Budget
ALP (57.5%) surges to biggest lead over L-NP (42.5%) since early August 2010 after Joe Hockey delivers his first Federal Budget. The Palmer United Party increases its support to 6.5% (up 1%) - a record high for PUP
Economic Issues are the most important problems facing New Zealand (44%) as New Zealand heads towards a September Election
Labour/ Greens (45.5%) regain lead over National (42.5%) as scandal engulfs the National Party – Maurice Williamson resigns his portfolios and while Justice Minister Judith Collins takes a few days leave
ALP would win a Federal Election – In Victoria the Federal L-NP vote is a lot further behind the ALP than outgoing Premier Denis Napthine received on Saturday
ABS data disaster is final proof Australia needs new measure of employment.
Since Rudd was elected in 2007 part-time/casual employment has surged while full-time employment virtually unchanged

Salivary analysis, a non-invasive alternative to serum analysis, is an effective modality for diagnosis and for prognosis prediction of various diseases like oral cancer and even oral potentially malignant disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of zinc (Zn) in saliva of patients with oral leukoplakia (OL) and to compare the values with healthy controls. The study group comprised of 25 clinically diagnosed and histopathologically confirmed cases of OL and 25 age- and sex-matched controls. The data were assessed statistically using SPSS version 17. Among 50% patients with OL, only 4% of patients showed speckled leukoplakia and the remaining 46% revealed homogeneous leukoplakia. The mean Zn level differed significantly (p<0.05) between the OL patients and the controls with patients exhibiting lower Zn (116.96±38.73) levels in contrast to controls who presented higher Zn (146.76±29.18). In conclusion, evaluation of salivary Zn may be used as a potential diagnostic tool in OL patients. Further research is needed in this line in patients with oral potential malignant disorders with higher sample size in order to correlate habit and diet pattern which may affect the Zn status.
Oral leukoplakia, Zinc, Saliva, Oral potentially malignant disorders, Diagnostic tool.
Although rapid developments have been made in the field of medical science, cancer remains to be the principal cause for human death. It is estimated that more than one million new oral cancer cases are being identified annually in the Indian subcontinent, of which 90% are oral squamous cell carcinomas. It has been well established by researchers that virtually all oral cancer are preceded by visible clinical changes in the oral mucosa usually in the form of white or red patch [1]. Leukoplakia is defined as „„A white plaque of questionable risk having excluded (other) known diseases or disorders that carry no increased risk for cancer” [2]. The estimated prevalence of oral leukoplakia (OL), worldwide, is approximately two percent [3].
The importance of zinc (Zn) in human nutrition and human health and disease has been extensively documented [4]. Zink influences many body system and function including growth, bone formation, brain development, reproduction, fetal development, sensory function (smell and taste), immune mechanism, membrane stability and wound healing [5]. Zink is present in many biological tissues and fluids such as plasma, serum, whole blood, erythrocyte, leukocyte, urine, hair and saliva [6, 7]. Many studies reported that trace elements like Zn play a major role as either inhibitory or causative agent of cancer. Several researchers studied the Zn levels in the serum, plasma and tissue of premalignant and malignant lesions of oral cavity and head and neck neoplasms. However, study using saliva samples were very few. Hence, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the Zn levels in the unstimulated whole saliva of patients with OL and age and sex matched controls.
II. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Fifty patients between the age range of 20 and 65 years, reporting to the department of oral medicine and radiology in a dental college in south India were enrolled into the study. The study subjects included 25 histopathologically confirmed cases of OL and 25 age and sex matched healthy controls. A detailed case history with habit index was taken from each subject in the study. The Institutional Ethics Committee approval was obtained prior to start of the study and informed consent was taken from all the participants included in the study. All the subjects were explained about the objectives of the study. The descriptive data of total 50 patients was collected, evaluated and analyzed statistically using SPSS version 17 and probability value less than 0.05 was considered significant
Patients with systemic illness, longâÂÂterm drug intake, previous history of malignancy, or history of antioxidant medication were excluded from the study. Unstimulated saliva was collected from the study subjects between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm to avoid diurnal variation. The subjects were requested not to eat, drink, perform oral hygiene activities, or chew 60 min prior to the saliva collection procedure. The subjects were then seated on the dental chair and asked to spit in a graduated container every 1 min till 5 ml of saliva was obtained. During saliva collection, subjects were instructed not to speak or swallow. The salivary samples were stored at a temperature of -20°C. Prior to estimation, salivary samples were subjected for digestion by making use of concentrated nitric acid. The digested saliva samples were then read in the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Means and standard deviations were calculated for salivary Zn in study and control subjects. Independent samples„tâ test was used to compare the mean values of salivary Cu between the study subjects and control group.
III. RESULTS
Among 50% patients with OL, only 4% of patients showed speckled leukoplakia and the remaining 46% revealed homogeneous leukoplakia (Table 1).
The Zinc levels were measured in μg/dl. The mean Zn level of patients with OL was 116.96 with standard deviation being 38.73 and standard error mean 7.74. The mean Zn level in control subjects was 146.76 with standard deviation being 29.18 and standard error mean 5.83. The mean Zn level differed significantly (P=.003) between the OL patients and the controls with patients exhibiting lower Zn (116.96±38.73) levels in contrast to controls who presented higher Zn (146.76±29.18) (Table 2).
Within the past few years, the use of saliva as a diagnostic tool has gained considerable attention and become a wellaccepted method. Salivary analysis, a non-invasive alternative to serum analysis, is an effective modality for diagnosis and for prognosis prediction of various diseases like oral cancer and even oral potentially malignant disorders. As a diagnostic fluid, saliva offers superiority over serum due to both a noninvasive collection method and a cost-effective approach for screening of large populations. Collection of saliva offers a reduced risk of infection compared to the collection of serum [8, 9].
Oral leukoplakia may affect any site of the oral and oropharyngeal cavity. Clinically OL can be subdivided into homogeneous type (flat, thin, uniform white in color) (Figure 1) and a non-homogeneous type. The non-homogeneous type has been defined as a white and red lesion („„erythroleukoplakia”), that may be either irregularly flat (speckled) or nodular. Verrucous leukoplakia is yet another type of non-homogeneous leukoplakia [10]. In our study most of the patientsâ revealed homogeneous leukoplakia and very few cases showed specked leukoplakia. In a study from India, it was reported that annual malignant transformation rate of OL is 0.3% [11]. In studies from Western countries somewhat higher figures have been mentioned; an annual malignant transformation rate of approximately 1% is probably a reasonable average figure for all types of leukoplakia together. It is well appreciated that this figure is much higher for non-homogeneous types, [12] including proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
Trace elements play, directly or indirectly, an important role in various physiological metabolic processes in humans. Zinc is involved in carbonic acid (carbonic anhydrase), in proteolysis (carboxy peptidase, leucine amino peptidase, etc.) [13]. Bioelements e.g. Copper (Cu) and Zn are involved in vital biochemical activities like different redox and free radical formation and in maintaining cellular proton homeostasis [14]. Zinc is essential for regulation of cell cycle and cell division and also essential for DNA polymerase activity and is particularly important for rapid cell proliferation encountered in growing tumors. A study comparing the Cu and Zn levels in saliva of patients with oral cancer to the control group highlighted that these elements were significantly higher in the case group when compared to controls. The same researchers also have done a similar study in the serum and found that Cu and Zn levels were higher in case group when compared to control group [15]. An another study of serum Cu and Zn levels in submucous fibrosis and leukoplakia showed decreased levels of serum Cu and Zn in submucous fibrosis and there was no change in leukoplakia when compared to controls [16]. There are few studies reported in the literature [17-19] where low levels of serum Zn were found in oral cancer patients compared to controls. In our study also we observed a significant decrease in salivary Zn level in OL patients when compared to controls. The reduction in salivary Zn in OL patients may be explained on the basis that dysplastic cells and tissue have increased metabolic requirement of Zn which result in an increased uptake from adjacent structure such as salivary secretion.
Evaluation of salivary Zn may be used as a potential diagnostic tool in OL patients. Further research is needed in this line in patients with oral potential malignant disorders with higher sample size in order to correlate habit and diet pattern in these patients which may affect the Zn status.

Oregon begins killing sea lions after relocation fails
By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press
January 10, 2019 — 6:55pm
PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon wildlife officials have started killing California sea lions that threaten a fragile and unique type of trout in the Willamette River, a body of water that's miles inland from the coastal areas where the massive carnivorous aquatic mammals usually congregate to feed.
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife obtained a federal permit in November to kill up to 93 California sea lions annually below Willamette Falls south of Portland, Oregon, to protect the winter run of the fish that begin life as rainbow trout but become steelhead when they travel to the ocean.
As of last week, wildlife managers have killed three of the animals using traps they used last year to relocate the sea lions, said Bryan Wright, project manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's marine resources program.
The adult male sea lions, which weigh nearly 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) each, have learned that they can loiter under the falls and snack on the vulnerable steelhead as the fish power their way upriver to the streams where they hatched.
The trout travel to sea from inland rivers, grow to adulthood as steelhead in the Pacific Ocean and then return to their natal river to spawn. They can grow to 55 pounds and live up to 11 years.
The sea lions breed each summer off Southern California and northern Mexico, then the males cruise up the Pacific Coast to forage. Hunted for their thick fur, the mammals' numbers dropped dramatically but have rebounded from 30,000 in the late 1960s to about 300,000 today because of the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act.
With their numbers growing, the dog-faced sea lions are venturing ever farther inland up the Columbia River and its tributaries in Oregon and Washington — and their appetite is having disastrous consequences, scientists have said.
Last winter, a record-low 512 wild winter steelhead completed the journey past the Willamette Falls, according to state counts. Less than 30 years ago, that number was more than 15,000.
The sea lions are eating so many winter steelhead at Willamette Falls that certain runs are at a high risk of going extinct, according to a 2017 study by wildlife biologists.
Wildlife officials moved about a dozen sea lions to the coast near the small city of Newport last year, but the animals ended up swimming back to the falls within days.
So the state petitioned federal officials for permission to start killing the animals, which are listed as a federally endangered species.
The permit from the National Marine Fisheries Service says the targeted sea lions must have been observed eating at least one steelhead near Willamette Falls between Nov. 1 and Aug. 15 or have been observed in the same stretch of river on two consecutive days in that period.
Individual sea lions are identified by trained observers who look at brands on their back or tags on their flippers.
The animals are being euthanized by a veterinarian by lethal injection in the same way that dogs and cats are put down, Wright said. Their flesh goes to a rendering plant.
Before a sea lion is killed, the state must find out if there is a zoo or aquarium that wants the animal. If so, Oregon wildlife managers must hold the sea lion for 48 hours before killing it.
In a similar program, Oregon and Washington have already killed more than 150 sea lions below the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River to protect threatened and endangered salmon.

The Common Log Format (CLF) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP):
Framework and Information Model
Well-known web servers such as Apache and web proxies like Squid
support event logging using a common log format. The logs produced
using these de facto standard formats are invaluable to system
administrators for troubleshooting a server and tool writers to craft
tools that mine the log files and produce reports and trends.
Furthermore, these log files can also be used to train anomaly
detection systems and feed events into a security event management
system. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) does not have a common
log format, and, as a result, each server supports a distinct log
format that makes it unnecessarily complex to produce tools to do
trend analysis and security detection. This document describes a
framework, including requirements and analysis of existing
approaches, and specifies an information model for development of a
SIP common log file format that can be used uniformly by user agents,
proxies, registrars, and redirect servers as well as back-to-back
user agents.
This is an Internet Standards Track document.
This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
received public review and has been approved for publication by the

Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.

Servers executing on Internet hosts produce log records as part of
their normal operations. Some log records are, in essence, a summary
of an application-layer protocol data unit (PDU) that captures, in
precise terms, an event that was processed by the server. These log
records serve many purposes including analysis and troubleshooting.
support event logging using a Common Log Format (CLF), the common
structure for logging requests and responses serviced by the web
server. It can be argued that a good part of the success of Apache
has been its CLF because it allowed third parties to produce tools
that analyzed the data and generated traffic reports and trends. The
Apache CLF has been so successful that not only did it become the de
facto standard in producing logging data for web servers but also
many commercial web servers can be configured to produce logs in this
format. An example of the Apache CLF is depicted next:
%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b
remotehost rfc931 authuser [date] request status bytes
remotehost: Remote hostname (or IP number if DNS hostname is not
available or if DNSLookup is Off.
rfc931: The remote logname of the user.
authuser: The username by which the user has authenticated
[date]: Date and time of the request.
request: The request line exactly as it came from the client.
status: The HTTP status code returned to the client.
bytes: The content-length of the document transferred.
The inspiration for the SIP CLF is the Apache CLF. However, the
state machinery for an HTTP transaction is much simpler than that of
the SIP transaction (as evidenced in Section 7). The SIP CLF needs
to do considerably more.
This document outlines the problem statement that argues for a SIP
CLF. In addition, it provides an information model pertaining to the
minimum set of SIP headers and fields that must be logged. This
document does not prescribe a specific representation format for the
SIP CLF record and, instead, allows other documents to define a
representation format. [RFC6873] is an example of a representation
format that provides a UTF-8-based logging scheme.
2. Terminology
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
RFC 3261 [RFC3261] defines additional terms used in this document
that are specific to the SIP domain such as "proxy"; "registrar";
"redirect server"; "user agent server" or "UAS"; "user agent client"
or "UAC"; "back-to-back user agent" or "B2BUA"; "dialog";
"transaction"; "server transaction".
This document uses the term "SIP server" that is defined to include
the following SIP entities: user agent server, registrar, redirect
server, a SIP proxy in the role of user agent server, and a B2BUA in
the role of a user agent server.
3. Problem Statement
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] is an Internet
multimedia session signaling protocol. A typical deployment of SIP
in an enterprise will consist of SIP entities from multiple vendors.
Each SIP entity produces logs using a proprietary format. The result
of multiplicity of the log file formats is the inability of the
support staff to easily trace a call from one entity to another or
even to craft common tools that will perform trend analysis,
debugging and troubleshooting problems uniformly across the SIP
entities from multiple vendors.
Furthermore, the log file must be easily accessible by command-line
tools for simple text processing. This allows ad hoc queries against
the elements in the log file to retrieve a log record. Furthermore,
the log file must be in a format that allows for rapid searches of a
particular log record (or records). Because of the large number of
records expected in the log file, the records must be in a format
that allows for rapid scanning and ease of skipping records that do
not match a search criterion. Finally, the generation of the log
file must not impose undue burden on the SIP implementation in the
form of additional libraries that may not be uniformly available on
different platforms and operating environments where a SIP entity
generating a log file record may be found.
SIP does not currently have a common log format, and this document
serves to provide the rationale to establish a SIP CLF and identifies
the required minimal information that must appear in any SIP CLF
record.
4. What SIP CLF Is and What It Is Not
The SIP CLF is a standardized manner of producing a log file. This
format can be used by SIP clients, SIP servers, proxies, and B2BUAs.
The SIP CLF is simply an easily digestible log of currently occurring
events and past transactions. It contains enough information to
allow humans and automata to derive relationships between discrete
transactions handled at a SIP entity or to search for a certain
dialog or a related set of transactions.
The SIP CLF is amenable to quick parsing (i.e., well-delimited
fields), and it is platform and operating system neutral.
Due to the structure imposed by delimited fields, the SIP CLF is
amenable to easy parsing and lends itself well to creating other
innovative tools such as logfile parsers and trend analytic engines.
The SIP CLF is not a billing tool. It is not expected that
enterprises will bill customers based on SIP CLF. The SIP CLF
records events at the signaling layer only and does not attempt to
correlate the veracity of these events with the media layer. Thus,
it cannot be used to trigger customer billing.
The SIP CLF is not a quality of service (QoS) measurement tool. If
QoS is defined as measuring the mean opinion score (MOS) of the
received media, then SIP CLF does not aid in this task since it does
not summarize events at the media layer.
Finally, the SIP CLF is not a tool for supporting lawful intercept.
5. Alternative Approaches to SIP CLF
The sipclf working group discussed four alternative approaches to
determine whether they fill the requirements of what is desired of a
SIP CLF outlined in Section 3. We conclude that while every scheme
discussed below comes with its advantages, its disadvantages may
preclude it from being used as a SIP CLF. However, we stress that
the information model contained in this document can be used to
develop alternative representation formats when desired. Currently,
[RFC6873] is an example of a representation format that provides a
UTF-8-based logging scheme that meets all the requirements of Section
5.1. SIP CLF and Call Detail Records
Call Detail Records (CDRs) are used in operator networks widely and
with the adoption of SIP, standardization bodies such as the Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) have subsequently defined SIP-
related CDRs as well. Today, CDRs are used to implement the
functionality approximated by SIP CLF; however, there are important
differences.
First, SIP CLF operates natively at the transaction layer and
maintains enough information in the information elements being logged
that dialog-related data can be subsequently derived from the
transaction logs. Thus, esoteric SIP fields and parameters like the
To header (including tags), the From header (including tags), the
Command Sequence (CSeq) number, etc., are logged in SIP CLF. By
contrast, a CDR is used mostly for charging and thus saves
information to facilitate that very aspect. A CDR will most
certainly log the public user identification of a party requesting a
service (which may not correspond to the From header) and the public
user identification of the party called party (which may not
correspond to the To header). Furthermore, the sequence numbers
maintained by the CDR may not correspond to the SIP CSeq header.
Thus, it will be hard to piece together the state of a dialog through
a sequence of CDR records.
Second, a CDR record will, in all probability, be generated at a SIP
entity performing some form of proxy-like functionality of a B2BUA
providing some service. By contrast, SIP CLF is lightweight enough
that it can be generated by a canonical SIP user agent server and
user agent client as well, including those that execute on resource
constrained devices (mobile phones).
Finally, SIP is also being deployed outside of operator-managed Voice
over IP (VoIP) networks. Universities, research laboratories, and
small-to medium-sized companies are deploying SIP-based VoIP
solutions on networks owned and managed by them. Many of the latter
constituencies will not have an interest in generating CDRs, but they
will like to have a concise representation of the messages being
handled by the SIP entities in a common format.
5.2. SIP CLF and Packet Capture Tools
Wireshark and tcpdump are popular raw packet capture tools.
Wireshark even contains filters that can understand SIP at the
protocol level and break down a captured message into its individual
header components. While packet capture tools are appropriate to
capture and view discrete SIP messages, they do not suffice to serve
in the same capacity as SIP CLF for the following reasons:
o Using packet capturing tools will not eliminate the need for
agreeing to a common set of fields to represent a SIP CLF record.
This common understanding is important for interoperability to
allow one implementation to read a log file written by a different
implementation.
o The packet capture from these tools is not easily searchable by
simple command-line tools for text processing.
o Using packet capture tools requires that the underlying libraries
related to packet capture be available for all platforms on which
a SIP server or a SIP client can execute. Given the different
platforms on which a SIP client or server runs --- mobile, fixed
host, tablet, etc. --- this may become an inhibiting factor when
compared to the SIP client or server producing a SIP CLF record
natively (the SIP client or server has already parsed the SIP
message for operation on it; therefore, it seems reasonable to
have it write the parsed tokens out to persistent store in an
agreed upon format).
o If SIP messages are exchanged over a secure transport (TLS)
packet, capture tools will be unable to decrypt them and render
them as individual SIP headers.
o Using such tools and related packet capture libraries may imposes
a dependency on a third-party library.
5.3. SIP CLF and Syslog
The syslog protocol [RFC5424] conveys event notification messages
from an originator to a collector. While the syslog protocol
provides a packet format and transport mechanism, it does not
describe any storage format for syslog messages. Pragmatically,
while the syslog protocol itself does not describe a storage format,
the collector will write the arriving messages into a disk file. A
new problem arises due to the general nature of syslog: the disk file
will contain log messages from many originators, not just SIP
entities. This imposes an additional burden of discarding all
extraneous records when analyzing the disk file for SIP CLF records
of interest. SIP CLF records are best stored in a log file that is
easily searchable by command-line tools.
Other drawbacks of using syslog include the unavailability of the
collector under certain scenarios (a mobile SIP phone may be unable
to find a collector to which it should send the messages), and the
need to have syslog-specific libraries available for each platform on
which the SIP server or the SIP client can execute. Finally, because
of the frequency and size of SIP log messages, it is not desirable to
send every SIP CLF log message to the collector. Instead, a
judicious use of syslog could be that only certain events -- those
that are pertinent from a network situational awareness perspective,
or those that include a periodic statistical summary of the messages
processed -- are sent to the collector.
5.4. SIP CLF and IPFIX
The IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol [RFC5101] allows
network administrators to aggregate IP packets characterized by some
commonality (similar packet header fields, one or more
characteristics of the packet itself) into a flow that can be
subsequently collected and sent to other elements for analysis and
monitoring. However, IPFIX is not a logging format and does not
produce a log file that can be examined by ad hoc text processing
6. Motivation and Use Cases
As SIP becomes pervasive in multiple business domains and ubiquitous
in academic and research environments, it is beneficial to establish
a CLF for the following reasons:
Common reference for interpreting events: In a laboratory
environment or an enterprise service offering, there will
typically be SIP entities from multiple vendors participating in
routing requests. Absent a common log format, each entity will
produce output records in a native format, making it hard to
establish commonality for tools that operate on the log file.
Writing common tools: A common log format allows independent tool
providers to craft tools and applications that interpret the CLF
data to produce insightful trend analysis and detailed traffic
reports. The format should be such that it retains the ability to
be read by humans and processed using traditional Unix text
processing tools.
Session correlation across diverse processing elements: In
operational SIP networks, a request will typically be processed by
more than one SIP server. A SIP CLF will allow the network
operator to trace the progression of the request (or a set of
requests) as they traverse through the different servers to
establish a concise diagnostic trail of a SIP session.
Note that tracing the request through a set of servers is
considerably less challenging if all the servers belong to
the same administrative domain.
Message correlation across transactions: A SIP CLF can enable a
quick lookup of all messages that comprise a transaction (e.g.,
"Find all messages corresponding to server transaction X,
including all forked branches.").
Message correlation across dialogs: A SIP CLF can correlate
transactions that comprise a dialog (e.g., "Find all messages for
dialog created by Call-ID C, From tag F and To tag T.").
Trend analysis: A SIP CLF allows an administrator to collect data
and spot patterns or trends in the information (e.g., "What is the
domain where the most sessions are routed to between 9:00 AM and
1:00 PM?").
Train anomaly detection systems: A SIP CLF will allow for the
training of anomaly detection systems that once trained can
monitor the CLF file to trigger an alarm on the subsequent
deviations from accepted patterns in the data set. Currently,
anomaly detection systems monitor the network and parse raw
packets that comprise a SIP message -- a process that is
unsuitable for anomaly detection systems [rieck2008]. With all
the necessary event data at their disposal, network operations
managers and information technology operation managers are in a
much better position to correlate, aggregate, and prioritize log
data to maintain situational awareness.
Testing: A SIP CLF allows for automatic testing of SIP equipment by
writing tools that can parse a SIP CLF file to ensure behavior of
a device under test.
Troubleshooting: A SIP CLF can enable cursory troubleshooting of a
SIP entity (e.g., "How long did it take to generate a final
response for the INVITE associated with Call-ID X?").
Offline analysis: A SIP CLF allows for offline analysis of the data
gathered. Once a SIP CLF file has been generated, it can be
transported (subject to the security considerations in Section 10)
to a host with appropriate computing resources to perform
subsequent analysis.
Real-time monitoring: A SIP CLF allows administrators to visually
notice the events occurring at a SIP entity in real-time providing
accurate situational awareness.
7. Challenges in Establishing a SIP CLF
Establishing a CLF for SIP is a challenging task. The behavior of a
SIP entity is more complex when compared to the equivalent HTTP
entity.
Base protocol services such as parallel or serial forking elicit
multiple final responses. Ensuing delays between sending a request
and receiving a final response all add complexity when considering
what fields should comprise a CLF and in what manner. Furthermore,
unlike HTTP, SIP groups multiple discrete transactions into a dialog,
and these transactions may arrive at a varying inter-arrival rate at
a proxy. For example, the BYE transaction usually arrives much after
the corresponding INVITE transaction was received, serviced, and
expunged from the transaction list. Nonetheless, it is advantageous
to relate these transactions such that automata or a human monitoring
the log file can construct a set consisting of related transactions.
ACK requests in SIP need careful consideration as well. In SIP, an
ACK is a special method that is associated with an INVITE only. It
does not require a response; furthermore, if it is acknowledging a
non-2xx response, then the ACK is considered part of the original
INVITE transaction. If it is acknowledging a 2xx-class response,
then the ACK is a separate transaction consisting of a request only
(i.e., there is not a response for an ACK request). CANCEL is
another method that is tied to an INVITE transaction, but unlike ACK,
the CANCEL request elicits a final response.
While most requests elicit a response immediately, the INVITE request
in SIP can remain in a pending state at a proxy as it forks branches
downstream or at a user agent server while it alerts the user.
[RFC3261] instructs the server transaction to send a 1xx-class
provisional response if a final response is delayed for more than 200
ms. A SIP CLF log file needs to include such provisional responses
because they help train automata associated with anomaly detection
systems and provide some positive feedback for a human observer
monitoring the log file.
Finally, beyond supporting native SIP actors such as proxies,
registrars, redirect servers, and user agent servers (UASs), it is
beneficial to derive a common log format that supports B2BUA
behavior, which may vary considerably depending on the specific
nature of the B2BUA.

8. Information Model
This document defines the mandatory fields that MUST occur in a SIP
CLF record. The maximum size (in number of bytes) for a SIP CLF
field is 4096 bytes. This limit is the same regardless of whether
the SIP CLF field is a meta-field (see "Timestamp" and
"Directionality" defined below) or a normal SIP header. If the body
of the SIP message is to be logged, it MUST conform to this limit as
SIP bodies may contain characters that do not form a valid UTF-8
sequence. As such, the logging of bodies requires understanding
trade-offs with respect to a specific logging format to determine if
the body can be logged as is or some encoding will be required. The
specific syntax and semantics used to log SIP bodies MUST be defined
by the specific representation format document used to generate the
SIP CLF record.
The information model supports extensibility by providing the
capability to log "optional fields". Optional fields are those SIP
header fields (or field components) that are not mandatory (see
Section 8.1 for the mandatory field list). Optional fields may
contain SIP headers or other elements present in a SIP message (for
example, the Reason-Phrase element from the Status-Line production
rule in RFC 3261 [RFC3261]). Optional fields may also contain
additional information that a particular vendor desires to log. The
specific syntax and semantics to be accorded to optional fields MUST
be defined by the specific representation format used to generate the
8.1. SIP CLF Mandatory Fields
The following SIP CLF fields are defined as the minimal information
that MUST appear in any SIP CLF record:
Timestamp: Date and time of the request or response represented as
the number of seconds and milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
Message type: An indicator of whether the SIP message is a request
or a response. The allowable values for this field are 'R' (for
Request) and 'r' (for response).
Directionality: An indicator of whether the SIP message is received
by the SIP entity or sent by the SIP entity. The allowable values
for this field are 's' (for message sent) and 'r' (for message
received).
Transport: The transport over which a SIP message is sent or
received. The allowable values for the transport are governed by
the "transport" production rule in Section 25.1 of RFC 3261
[RFC3261].
Source-address: The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the sender of the SIP
Source-port: The source port number of the sender of the SIP
Destination-address: The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the recipient of
the SIP message.
Destination-port: The port number of the recipient of the SIP
From: The From URI. For the sake of brevity, URI parameters should
not be logged.
From tag: The tag parameter of the From header.
To: The To URI. For the sake of brevity, URI parameters should not
be logged.
To tag: The tag parameter of the To header. Note that the tag
parameter will be absent in the initial request that forms a
dialog.
Callid: The Call-ID.
CSeq-Method: The method from the CSeq header.
CSeq-Number: The number from the CSeq header.
R-URI: The Request-URI, including any URI parameters.
Status: The SIP response status code.
SIP proxies may fork, creating several client transactions that
correlate to a single server transaction. Responses arriving on
these client transactions or new requests (CANCEL, ACK) sent on the
client transaction need log file entries that correlate with a server
transaction. Similarly, a B2BUA may create one or more client
transactions in response to an incoming request. These transactions
will require correlation as well. The last two information model
elements provide this correlation.
Server-Txn: Server transaction identification code - the transaction
identifier associated with the server transaction.
Implementations can reuse the server transaction identifier (the
topmost branch-id of the incoming request, with or without the
magic cookie), or they could generate a unique identification
string for a server transaction (this identifier needs to be
locally unique to the server only). This identifier is used to
correlate ACKs and CANCELs to an INVITE transaction; it is also
used to aid in forking as explained later in this section. (See
Section 9 for usage.)
Client-Txn: Client transaction identification code - this field is
used to associate client transactions with a server transaction
for forking proxies or B2BUAs. Upon forking, implementations can
reuse the value they inserted into the topmost Via header's branch
parameter, or they can generate a unique identification string for
the client transaction. (See Section 9 for usage.)
This information model applies to all SIP entities --- a UAC, UAS,
proxy, B2BUA, registrar, and redirect server. The SIP CLF fields
prescribed for a proxy are equally applicable to the B2BUA.
Similarly, the SIP CLF fields prescribed for a UAS are equally
applicable to registrars and redirect servers.
The next section specifies the individual SIP CLF information model
elements that form a log record for specific instances of a SIP
entity. It is understood that a SIP CLF record is extensible using
extension mechanisms appropriate to the specific representation used
to generate the SIP CLF record. This document, however, does not
prescribe a specific representation format, and it limits the
discussion to the mandatory data elements described above.
8.2. Mandatory Fields and SIP Entities
Each SIP CLF record must contain all the mandatory information model
elements outlined in Section 8.1. This document does not specify a
representation of a logging format; it is expected that other
documents will do so.
An element may not always have an appropriate value to provide for
one of these fields, for example, the R-URI field is not applicable
when logging a response, the Status field is not applicable when
logging a request, the To tag is not known when a request is first
sent out, etc. As all the mandatory fields are required to appear in
the SIP CLF record, the representation document MUST define how to
indicate a field that is not applicable in the context that the SIP
CLF record was generated. Similarly, to handle parsing errors in a
field, the representation document MUST define a means to indicate
that a field cannot be parsed.
The Client-Txn field is always applicable to a UAC. The Server-Txn
field does not apply to a UAC unless the element is also acting as a
UAS, and the message associated to this log record corresponds to a
message handled by that UAS. For instance, a proxy forwarding a
request will populate both the Client-Txn and Server-Txn fields in
the record corresponding to the forwarded request.
The Server-Txn field is always applicable to a UAS. The Client-Txn
field does not apply to a UAS unless the element is also acting as a
UAC, and the message associated to this log record corresponds to a
message handled by that UAC. For instance, a proxy forwarding a
response will populate both the Server-Txn and Client-Txn fields in
the record corresponding to the forwarded response. However, a proxy
would only populate the Client-Txn field when creating a log record
corresponding to a request.
9. Examples
The examples use only the mandatory data elements defined in Section
8.1. Extension elements are not considered and neither are SIP
bodies. When a given mandatory field is not applicable to a SIP
entity, we use the horizontal dash ("-") to represent it.
There are five principals in the examples below. They are the
following: Alice, the initiator of requests. Alice's user agent uses
IPv4 address 198.51.100.1, port 5060. P1 is a proxy that Alice's
request traverse on their way to Bob, the recipient of the requests.
P1 also acts as a registrar to Alice. P1 uses an IPv4 address of
198.51.100.10, port 5060. Bob has two instances of his user agent
running on different hosts. The first instance uses an IPv4 address
of 203.0.113.1, port 5060 and the second instance uses an IPv6
address of 2001:db8::9, port 5060. P2 is a proxy responsible for
Bob's domain. Table 1 summarizes these addresses.
+-------------------+--------------------+-------------------+
| Principal | IP:port | Host/Domain name |
| Alice | 198.51.100.1:5060 | alice.example.com |
| P1 | 198.51.100.10:5060 | p1.example.com |
| P2 | 203.0.113.200:5060 | p2.example.net |
| Bob UA instance 1 | 203.0.113.1:5060 | bob1.example.net |
| Bob UA instance 2 | [2001:db8::9]:5060 | bob2.example.net |
Principal to IP Address Assignment
Illustrative examples of SIP CLF follow.
9.1. UAC Registration
Alice sends a registration registrar P1 and receives a 2xx-class
response. The register requests causes Alice's UAC to produce a log
record shown below.
Timestamp: 1275930743.699
Message Type: R
Directionality: s
Transport: udp
CSeq-Number: 1
CSeq-Method: REGISTER
R-URI: sip:example.com
Destination-address: 198.51.100.10
Destination-port: 5060
Source-address: 198.51.100.1
Source-port: 5060
To: sip:example.com
To tag: -
From: sip:alice@example.com
From tag: 76yhh
Call-ID: f81-d4-f6@example.com
Status: -
Server-Txn: -
Client-Txn: c-tr-1
After some time, Alice's UAC will receive a response from the
registrar. The response causes Alice's agent to produce a log record
Directionality: r
R-URI: -
Destination-address: 198.51.100.1
Source-address: 198.51.100.10
To tag: reg-1-xtr
Status: 100
9.2. Direct Call between Alice and Bob
In this example, Alice sends a session initiation request directly to
Bob's agent (instance 1). Bob's agent accepts the session
invitation. We first present the SIP CLF logging from the vantage
point of Alice's UAC. In line 1, Alice's user agent sends out the
INVITE. Shortly, it receives a "180 Ringing" (line 2), followed by a
"200 OK" response (line 3). Upon the receipt of the 2xx-class
response, Alice's user agent sends out an ACK request (line 4).
CSeq-Number: 32
CSeq-Method: INVITE
R-URI: sip:bob@bob1.example.net
Destination-address: 203.0.113.1
To: sip:bob@bob1.example.net
Client-Txn: c-1-xt6
Source-address: 203.0.113.1
To: sip:bob@example.net
To tag: b-in6-iu
CSeq-Method: ACK
9.3. Single Downstream Branch Call
In this example, Alice sends a session invitation request to Bob
through proxy P1, which inserts a Record-Route header causing
subsequent requests between Alice and Bob to traverse the proxy. The
SIP CLF log records appears from the vantage point of P1. The line
numbers below refer to Figure 1.
Alice P1 Bob
+---INV--------->| | Line 1

R-URI: sip:bob@example.net
From tag: al-1
Call-ID: tr-87h@example.com
Server-Txn: s-x-tr
Client-Txn: -
Note that, at this point, P1 has created a server transaction
identification code and populated the SIP CLF field Server-Txn with
it. P1 has not yet created a client transaction identification code;
thus, Client-Txn contains a "-".
In line 3 below, P1 has created a client transaction identification
code for the downstream branch and populated the SIP CLF field
Client-Txn.
Client-Txn: c-x-tr
To tag: b1-1
10 Timestamp: 1275930749.100
9.4. Forked Call
In this example, Alice sends a session invitation to Bob's proxy, P2.
P2 forks the session invitation request to two registered endpoints
corresponding to Bob's address-of-record. Both endpoints respond
with provisional responses. Shortly thereafter, one of Bob's user
agent instances accepts the call, causing P2 to send a CANCEL request
to the second user agent. P2 does not Record-Route; therefore, the
subsequent ACK request from Alice to Bob's user agent does not
traverse through P2 (and is not shown below).
Figure 2 depicts the call flow.

| |<---------+---487---+ Line 14
| +---ACK----+-------->| Line 15
Figure 2: Forked Call Flow
The SIP CLF log appears from the vantage point of P2. The fields
logged are shown below; the line numbers refer to Figure 2.
Destination-address: 203.0.113.200
From tag: a1-1
Server-Txn: s-1-tr
Source-address: 203.0.113.200
Client-Txn: c-1-tr
Destination-address: [2001:db8::9]
To tag: b1=-1
Call-ID: tr-88h@example.com 100
Destination-port: udp
Source-address: [2001:db8::9]
CSeq-Method: CANCEL
The above SIP CLF log makes it easy to search for a specific
transaction or a state of the session. Searching for the string
"c-1-tr" on the log records will readily yield the information that
an INVITE was sent to sip:bob@bob1.example.com, it elicited a 100
followed by a 180 and then a 200. Because the ACK request in this
case would be exchanged end-to-end, this element does not see (and
therefore will not log) the ACK.
Searching for "c-2-tr" yields a more complex scenario of sending an
INVITE to sip:bob@bob2.example.net, receiving 100 and 180. However,
the log makes it apparent that the request to
sip:bob@bob2.example.net was subsequently CANCEL'ed before a final
response was generated, and that the pending INVITE returned a 487.
The ACK to the final non-2xx response and a 200 to the CANCEL request
complete the exchange on that branch.
A log file by its nature reveals both the state of the entity
producing it and the nature of the information being logged. To the
extent that this state should not be publicly accessible and that the
information is to be considered private, appropriate file and
directory permissions attached to the log file SHOULD be used. It is
outside the scope of this document to specify how to protect the log
file while it is stored on disk; however, certain precautions can be
taken. Operators SHOULD consider using common administrative
features such as disk encryption and securing log files [schneier-1].
Operators SHOULD also consider hardening the machine on which the log
file is stored by restricting physical access to the host as well as
restricting access to the file itself. Depending on the specific
operating system and environment, the file and directory permissions
SHOULD be set to be most restrictive such that the file is not
publicly readable and writable and the directory where the file is
stored is not publicly accessible.
The following threats may be considered for the log file while it is
stored:
o An attacker may gain access to view the log file, or may
surreptitiously make a copy of the log file for later viewing.
o An attacker who is unable to eavesdrop on real-time SIP traffic on
the network, but, nonetheless, can access the log file, is able to
easily mount replay attack or other attacks that result from
channel eavesdropping. Encrypting SIP traffic does not help here
because the SIP entity generating the log file would have
decrypted the message for processing and subsequent logging.
o An attacker may delete parts of --- or indeed, the whole --- file.
Public access to the SIP log file creates more of a privacy leak when
compared to an adversary eavesdropping cleartext SIP traffic on the
network. If all SIP traffic on a network segment is encrypted, then
as noted above, special attention must be directed to the file and
directory permissions associated with the log file to preserve
privacy such that only a privileged user can access the contents of
the log file.
Transporting SIP CLF files across the network pose special challenges
as well. The following threats may be considered for transferring
log files or while transferring individual log records:
o An attacker may view the records;
o An attacker may modify the records in transit or insert previously
captured records into the stream;
o An attacker may remove records in transit, or may stage a man-in-
the-middle attack to deliver a partially or entirely falsified log
It is also outside the scope of this document to specify protection
methods for log files or log records that are being transferred
between hosts; however, certain precautions can be taken. Operators
SHOULD require mutual authentication, channel confidentiality, and
channel integrity while transferring the log file. The use of a
secure shell transport layer protocol [RFC4253] or TLS [RFC5246]
accomplishes this.
Even with such care, sensitive information can be leaked during or
after the transfer. SIP CLF fields like IP addresses and URIs
contain potentially sensitive information. Before transferring the
log file across domains, operators SHOULD ensure that any fields that
contain sensitive information are appropriately anonymized or
obfuscated. A specification for a format that describes which fields
are obfuscated and with what characteristics (e.g., what correlations
still work) is needed to allow interoperable but privacy-friendly
exchange of SIP CLF between administrative domains. Such a
specification is not attempted here, but is for further study.
The SIP CLF represents the minimum fields that lend themselves to
trend analysis and serve as information that may be deemed useful.
Other formats can be defined that include more headers (and the body)
from Section 8.1. However, where to draw a judicial line regarding
the inclusion of non-mandatory headers can be challenging. Clearly,
the more information a SIP entity logs, the longer time the logging
process will take, the more disk space the log entry will consume,
and the more potentially sensitive information could be breached.
Therefore, adequate trade-offs should be taken in account when
logging more fields than the ones recommended in Section 8.1.
Implementers need to pay particular attention to buffer handling when
reading or writing log files. SIP CLF entries can be unbounded in
length. It would be reasonable for a full dump of a SIP message to
be thousands of octets long. This is of particular importance to CLF
log parsers, as a SIP CLF log writers may add one or more extension
fields to the message to be logged.
11. Operational Guidance
SIP CLF log files will take up a substantial amount of disk space
depending on traffic volume at a processing entity and the amount of
information being logged. As such, any organization using SIP CLF
should establish operational procedures for file rollovers and
periodic retrieval of logs before rollover as appropriate to the
needs of the organization.
Listing such operational guidelines in this document is out of scope
for this work.

The French Connection (1971): A Review
The French Connection has so many positives in terms of story, performances and an iconic chase scene that we tend to forget that it is slightly dated and has a somewhat unpleasant main character, though I'd argue he's pushing more antihero than hero.
In Marseilles, drug kingpin Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey) is setting up a a major heroin smuggling operation with fading television star Henri Devereaux (Frederic De Pasquale) as his dupe. He'll get it through Customs by hiding the heroin in Devereaux's car, and has local dealer Sal Boca (Tony Lo Bianco) as his fence.
This is unknown to Detectives Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy 'Cloudy' Russo (Roy Schieder). They work Narcotics, but so far are just dealing with low-level dealers. It isn't until one of Popeye's informants tells him of a major deal involving the French that Doyle stars diving into things. Doyle and Russo see that Boca is living a high life for someone running a corner store, and that the hotel that he visits has a shady lawyer named Joel Weinstock (Harold Gary). Putting the pieces together, Doyle and Russo push to investigate further.
This does not sit well with their higher-ups, Doyle having an unpopular reputation among the other members of the NYPD. In particular, Doyle once got a cop killed due to his 'hunches', something that still sets Doyle off. Nevertheless, Doyle and Russo get what they want with the feds involvement too.
Charnier is becoming agitated by Boca's slow manner; while he manages to give Doyle the slip when the latter is following him, he does want this deal done quickly. Boca is having some difficulty but soon the deal is agreed to. Charnier agrees to have Doyle killed despite his belief that 'there will be others'.
The attempt on Doyle's life leads to a wild pursuit where Doyle chases the assassin attempting to flee on an elevated subway, endangering pedestrians and passengers alike. The attempted killer is himself killed, and now it becomes a battle between Doyle and Charnier.
Doyle gets the car he is convinced is 'dirty', but the men he thinks are part of the deal end up as low-level car thieves in the wrong place at the wrong time. The police tear the car apart but can find no drugs. It looks like Doyle is wrong, until Russo questions the weight of the vehicle. The slight discrepancy between the manufacturer's listed weight and the actual weight is enough for them to tear out the one part they didn't, where they find the pure heroin.
With that, it is only a matter of time before the police, fully aware of the French connection, let the deal go through, leading to a fight which leads to deaths and some arrests.
In a postscript, we find that Weinstock was indicted but the case was dismissed due to 'lack of evidence', Mrs. Boca got a suspended sentence, Deveareux four years for conspiracy, and Sal's brother who helped in this, a reduced sentence.
Charnier was not caught and is presumed in France, while Doyle and Russo were reassigned.
One of the most interesting and brilliant things in The French Connection is how the film shows the differences between the antagonists. Again and again we see the suave, elegant and perfectly cool Charnier matched against the volatile, slovenly Doyle.
The best sequence that shows their different manners is the chase between Charnier and Doyle. Without making drama out of things, we see in their manner how they react to things. We see both of them playing this cat-and-mouse game where each knows what the other wants, and director William Friedkin builds the tension by having them try to keep pace with each other's next move.
When they are at the subway station, one attempting to evade the other, the tension ramps up repeatedly until in a split second, the elegant Charnier's cane (a very symbol of his elevated status) pops out to allow him to evade the trigger-tempered Doyle, Charnier's arrogant goodbye wave putting the coda on the sequence.
It isn't until Doyle in the end has the upper hand, figuratively and literally, waving back at a surprised Charnier, that the man nicknamed 'Frog One' by Doyle shows the slightest bit of anger and surprise at being outwitted by this disheveled American cop.
As much as the chase scene between the car and the elevated train in The French Connection is lauded (correctly so), I think the pursuit between Charnier and Doyle is equally brilliant. However, for many, the chase scene between the car and the train is the highlight, and it is so brilliantly filmed and edited.
It is not a surprise that both the director and the editor, Jerry Greenberg, won Oscars for their work. The tension of the chase scene never flags, building not just on the streets where an obsessed Doyle pursues his attempted assassin, but on the train itself.
We see the assassin killing people on the train, and the tension continues when he takes the train hostage and the conductor dies of a heart attack, leaving the train to crash.
It feels natural and real, not staged or elaborate. It's a credit to Friedkin and screenwriter Ernest Tidyman (also an Oscar-winner for the film) for keeping things grounded.
There's a natural feel to The French Connection, almost documentary-like. Part of it comes from Friedkin's work in documentary films, but it also comes from having a limited use of music. Wherein other action films the music might be loud, here, it is both somber and spare.
There is an urban grittiness to The French Connection, of a world that is believable and flawed, just like its protagonist. The French Connection is a showcase for Gene Hackman, who shows how he can change so smoothly. We see him as almost avuncular with kids as Santa Claus, then shift into a foul-tempered, foul-mouthed cop.
We should not like Popeye Doyle: he is a mess personally and a bit of a racist. However, we also see that being a cop is less job and more vocation, someone who will follow his own instincts no matter what. His last scene where he comes upon the body of the federal agent he accidentally killed is surprising in that Doyle isn't moved by his death.
As far as he's concerned, the only unfortunate thing is that it wasn't 'Frog One' lying there. That does not make him unfeeling or uncaring, just so focused on the task that other things fall by the wayside.
It is a brilliant performance by Hackman, who really digs into this role and makes it a complex character.
He is matched by Rey as the elegant, generally unruffled Charnier. Curiously, he was cast in a case of mistaken identity, being cast over another actor who had appeared in a film with Rey. Despite this odd set of circumstances, I think Rey is perfect in the role, his elegant, unruffled manner serving to show him as a strong antagonist.
Schieder had a smaller, less showy role, but made a good impression as the cooler, more rational partner of the volatile Doyle.
While The French Connection is dated in terms of look and manner, the film is still an extraordinary piece of film-making. It hearkens back to a time when gritty was how one would see New York, which is no longer the decaying city it once was. The language and violence might also make it a bit of a period piece, but we can see our lead as a flawed figure.
Intense, intelligent, with at least two excellent chase sequences and a methodology to both the criminals and the detectives, The French Connection excels on all fronts.

On May 31, 2006 under the headline “lacking a case, CSIS disrupted suspect’s life” “The Globe and Mail” reported that CSIS has used Zerzetsen, though apparently CSIS calls it “D&D” (Diffuse and Disrupt).
Indeed a former Canadian Government “Intelligence Analyst” and whistle-blower has recently (July 2010) written to several Canadian journalists confirming that CSIS is still using “D&D” (i.e. Zerzetsen) to persecute whistle-blowers in Canada today; including himself and his wife.
I cannot find any original copies or links to The Globe and Mail article in question, but that doesn't mean it's a fake.

That's bit of tech I hadn't heard about before.
I recall that that's how the FBI read Aldrich Ames' computer while sitting in a van outside his house; a cursory search called up this:
Van Eck Monitoring. Every computer emits low levels of electromagnetic radiation from the monitor, processor, and attached devices. Although experts disagree whether the actual range is a only a few yards or up to a mile, these signals can be remotely recreated on another computer. Aided by a transmitting device to enhance the signals, the FBI reportedly used Van Eck Monitoring to extract information from spy Aldrich Ames' computer and relay it for analysis.

Controlled / Harassed via Satellite ...
Man ‘Controlled By Satellites’ Makes 100 Calls To 911 In A Month, Vows To Continue (Video)
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A man who called 911 more than 100 times in one month says he’s not going to stop until his concerns are heard by the federal government.
Jimmy Shao keeps a log book of every 911 call he’s made. So many that he boasts he’s probably set a world record.
He doesn’t believe he’s wasting the time of emergency responders because he has an emergency of his own: Shao believes he’s being watched by shadowy government authorities.
He claims to believe his body is controlled by satellites.
“My brain, I can feel it starting. I’m blasted by the signals, every couple of minutes,” he said. “I yell and I scream, ‘Stop it, I don’t need this,’ but they never listen.”
Sacramento Police say he’s ignored warnings to stop calling over and over, so they arrested him for 911 abuse.
“That this person made over 100 calls over a month’s time—60 of them came into Sac PD dispatch—that is alarming,” said officer Michele Gigante.
Every 911 call made inside Sacramento city limits is answered by the CHP. Many are then transferred to the Sacramento Police communications center. Dispatchers take time to evaluate every call, even the ones that don’t make any sense.
“We know he’s tying up resources that are desperately needed by other citizens in our community,” said Jena Swafford with the police department.
Fresh out of jail, Shao promises he isn’t done dialing 911, “until Congress starts an investigation.”
Police say if he does continue to call he will be arrested again. They also say they may look for some counseling to get him some help.

Bumping because I'm on a Stasi bender lately and this thread has seen some mention of zersetzung tactics (my emphasis added to the quotes below):

It is much more than gang stalking and involves a combination of character assassination, surveillance, intimidation, harassment and death threats against oneself and family.

His house is searched for “secret papers”, he is arrested and questioned in an anti-terrorist holding centre. Later his name appears in the papers, he is forced to move house because of death threats and he can’t find work due to an interminable police inquiry.
The Stasi, the old East German secret police, used to call such tactics “Zersetzen”, roughly translated as “to undermine, subvert and corrode”.
For those with interest in the subject, I came across the following excerpts from the Stasi "Dictionary of Political-Operative Work" (Das Wörterbuch der Staatssicherheit: Definitionen zur politisch-operativen Arbeit) in the 2002 documentary The Decomposition of the Soul (aka Zersetzung der Seele or La décomposition de l'âme).
There are a couple minutes on zersetzung starting at 1:05, and to my knowledge these are the only sections of the Stasi Dictionary which have been translated into English (and made available publicly, anyway). Pretty interesting insight, IMO, into the mindset of totalitarian enforcers.
Das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit wrote: DECOMPOSITION (Zersetzung)
Operative method by State Security to efficiently fight subversive action. With decomposition, influence is exerted on the enemy through political operative activities, mainly on negative enemy convictions, to shake him and slowly transform him. The aim of decomposition is fragmentation, paralysis, to disorganize and isolate negative enemy forces and thus allow a political-ideological recuperation. The main executing forces of decomposition are the I.M.--"inofizielle Mitarbeiter" [non-official collaborators, informants].
Decomposition measures should always start at the weakest point. By attacking the weakest point, you aim at harming the person severely, in order to trigger a chain reaction that frees new differences and contradictions and creates a basis for further decomposition measures. By "the weakest point" we mean sensitive points that are important to the person concerned, related to subversive action, in a private or social area, and that are vulnerable.

Do you know of any good writings on the activities of the former Stasi since the merger of the two Germanies?

Interesting question but no, I haven't gotten there yet.
The 2012 paper "Socialist and post-socialist functional elites in East Germany" examines something along those lines but without much attention to former Stasi in particular. FWIW, it states the following:
All in all, East German former functional elite and subelite members had good opportunities to convert their social and cultural capital. As white-collar employees on the higher professional levels they actively participated in the transformation. Most of them have not been left behind.
Higher ranking personnel from the GDR military and the State Security apparatus, especially those who boasted no adequate civil qualifications, had it comparatively worse. A former officer from the Engineer Corps of the dissolved National People’s Army might have become a free architect or got employed in a construction company, but a former Airforce pilot or a former State Security officer were very likely to eke out a living as a watchman, a doorkeeper or a janitor.
And the 2010 documentary "Kapitalism: Our Improved Formula" looks at this topic in Romania. It contends that many of that country's ultra-successful are connected to the Communist-era Securitate.

Complaints of group-stalking (‘gang-stalking’): an exploratory study of their nature and impact on complainants
Lorraine P. Sheridana & David V. Jamesb*
Received: 16 Dec 2014
Accepted: 6 May 2015
Published online: 16 Jun 2015
Stalking primarily concerns the actions of individuals. However, some victims report stalking by organised groups, this being known as ‘group-’ or ‘gang-stalking’. This phenomenon has not been subject to systematic study. An anonymous questionnaire was completed online by self-defined victims of stalking. One thousand and forty respondents met research definitions for stalking, of which 128 (12.3%) reported group-stalking. One hundred and twenty-eight individually stalked cases were randomly selected as a comparison group. All cases of reported group-stalking were found likely to be delusional, compared with 3.9% of individually stalked cases. There were highly significant differences between the two groups on most parameters examined. The group-stalked scored more highly on depressive symptoms, post-traumatic symptomatology and adverse impact on social and occupational functioning. Group-stalking appears to be delusional in basis, but complainants suffer marked psychological and practical sequelae. This is important in assessment of risk in stalking cases, early referral to psychiatric services and allocation of police resources.

Gaslighting America and I'm sure, the world. Everything they do not want to admit, no matter how blatantly obvious, is written off as delusional, even when you bear the scars...even when thousands, or millions bear the scars or see it for themselves.
Take Morgellons, for example. You are accused of being delusional, despite the huge lesions all over your skin that no doctor can explain or even treat, not to mention, cure. Instead, you are accused of inserting filaments into your own skin, etc. Mention Morgellons to most doctors and the public and they either look at you like as if you have two heads, or they recommend a psychiatrist, or slowly back away....

Building Sanctuary
Release Date:01 Jul 2014
GO TO CART SAMPLE CHAPTER
The Movement to Support Vietnam War Resisters in Canada, 1965-73
By Jessica Squires
Canada enjoys a reputation as a peaceable kingdom and a refuge frommilitarism.Yet Canadians during the Vietnam War era met American warresisters not with open arms but with political obstacles andresistance, and the border remained closed to what were then called“draft dodgers” and “deserters.”
Between 1965 and 1973, a small but active cadre of Canadian antiwargroups and peace activists launched campaigns to open the border.Jessica Squires tells their story, often in their own words. Drawing oninterviews and government documents, she reveals that although thesegroups’ efforts ultimately met with success and helped shapeddebates about nationalism and Canada’s relationship with theUnited States, they had to overcome state surveillance and resistancefrom police, politicians, and bureaucrats.
The sixties live on in the memories of those who experienced themand in the imagination of a new generation seeking a deeper knowledgeof contemporary protest movements. By telling the story of the Canadianmovement to support Vietnam war resisters, Building Sanctuarynot only brings to light overlooked links between the anti-draftmovement and immigration policy – it challenges cherished notionsabout Canada in the 1960s and Canadian-American relations today.
This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in Canadianhistory, identity, nationalism, and social movements.
RELATED TOPICS: Canadian History, History, History of Human Rights, Social History, Social Movements, Sociology
Building Sanctuary is a fascinating study of war resistance and the sixties in North America. Based on official police records as well as oral interviews and newspaper evidence, it not only tells the engrossing story of the immigration to Canada of about forty thousand US war resisters but also subtly analyzes the political and ethical issues raised by resistance to the War in Vietnam. At a time when a reactivated militarism once more challenges progressives throughout the world, Jessica Squires provides us with an inspiring, insightful account of how an earlier generation of activists fought the madness of war – and emerged with some precious, if fragile, victories. A must-read for students of modern Canada, antiwar activism, and the sixties. Ian McKay, Department of History, Queen’s University

The Case for Bike Racks on NYC Buses
by on February 17, 2011 | 8,781 Plays
Over the last ten years (or more) just about every major city in the U.S. has added bike-carrying capacity to their buses. While cities like Chicago, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Seattle, Philadelphia, and San Francisco can boast 100% of their bus fleet sporting bike racks, NYC comes in at 0% - the only one in The Alliance for Biking & Walking's 2010 Benchmarking report.
This probably comes as no surprise to any cyclist from NYC who travels an ample amount, but what is shocking is this fact quietly goes unmentioned in NYC. We cannot recall a single news story or push to get bike racks anywhere in the last ten years.
Of course, there are reasonable assumptions one can make why NYC has not tried out some program. First and foremost: the NYC MTA subway system already allows bikes 24 hours a day. It's an excellent benefit for sure, but there are many regions of the five boroughs that are not easily within reach of a train. If we want to encourage multi-modalism, we need seriously think about that.
Then there is a barrage of others: cyclists will be too slow to load, bikes might fall off the racks, cost, maintenance, etc, but after viewing our Streetfilm you'll see there really isn't a valid excuse not to.
So we think it's time that the MTA and the city to consider a few pilot programs to put some bike racks on some routes. Of course, we are not talking about places like Manhattan or most parts of Brooklyn but we feel there are some great candidates that would yield good results. Look here:
Anywhere in Staten Island.
Eastern Queens.
Parts of The Bronx.
Any buses that cross bridges without cycle paths including the Verrazano-Narrows, The Whitestone and The Throggs Neck bridges.

I’m standing here on Staten Island and bike racks on buses would make so much sense for Staten Islanders so they could better interact with the Staten Island railway, the ferry and make easier cross island trips throughout the borough. We should also make it mandatory to put racks on all buses that cross bridges that are inaccessible to bikes, for example the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. And in addition I’d put bus bike racks on all the routes that connect Queens and the Bronx. So come on New York City, I think this is a reasonable proposal. Lots of other cities have bus bike racks.

Excellent suggestions for where it is needed and should be mandated.
However, there will be a problem when the even the three-bike racks reach capacity. In the acute sense, what happens when a rack is full? People who really need it will be extremely frustrated (or worse, insecure if left in a place they feel is dangerous while they have to wait for the next bus). In the chronic sense, bike racks on buses - they get full/you don't know when they will get full has driven up the desire for installations of bike parking, and this does cost a bit of money and needs space, too.
So any pilot should require good bike parking at all stops on the pilot bus route. Regarding the racks are full thing, common sense should prevail (the bus driver should be given the authority to permit bikes inside at their discretion -- I am pretty sure this is allowed on buses in Santa Cruz, California).
Related, all Copenhagen taxis have bikeracks inside the trunk. I proposed this to some Streetsblog peeps and to TLC in regards to the current (almost finished?) "Taxi of Tomorrow" (or whatever it was called) competition, but never heard back. This would also make a big difference for when your bike becomes inoperable or indeed you become inoperable (too drunk to bike).
It is also my understanding that in the Seattle downtown area people are not allowed to take bikes off or on the racks, though bikes which are on can be left on. This should not present an issue in these NYC cases.
Disclaimer: I have tried to get this thing going in the EU and have received equipment from one of the main US-based suppliers, Sportworks. But current laws on the outside appearance/features of buses make it impossible. There are more options in general in the EU, but mobility actors on this side of the pond say that it makes things dangerous for pedestrians (even though statistics show that it does not in the USA, even in crowded places). A pilot - not involving me - was tried in rural NL which included some powerful partners but it was rejected. Still, if people in the EU are reading this get in touch with me!
What exactly is the problem that adding bike racks to buses in New York is intended to address? Perhaps your video could talk more about that, instead of just comparing New York pro forma to other cities.
The problem I see with racks on buses is that they are not scalable. If every bus has three racks, and in general two of them are used at any one time, doubling the demand for the program will result in failure, as people with bikes will be unable to use the racks.
I'm with Jonathan. This is why the idea is rejected in NL and everywhere else with a decent bike mode share. It is impossible to satisfy demand.
A much more productive approach is ample and secure bicycle parking at all bus stops. People who really, really want to travel multi-modal will get a folding bike.
http://www.livablestreets.com/people/jqr Jonathan
Clarence responded to my earlier comment (I don't know why it's not showing up; check spam blocker??) using Eastern Queens as an example of where bike-racks on buses might be helpful.
As it happens, I was just in Queens (Bayside) last weekend. I went out there from Manhattan on the LIRR and biked from the RR station to my destination, and on the way back I biked all the way to the no. 7 train at Main St. If I had chosen to take the bus instead of biking, I could have been dropped off at my door.
In my mind, the idea only makes sense for single-mode bus trips that don't involve a subway segment, like express buses. But Manhattan's concentrated business districts make it feasible to walk to your destination from the bus stop (or use a free subway transfer). Kevin's idea of "ample and secure bicycle parking at all bus stops" would accomplish the same goal, plus add to the stock of decent bicycle parking in the outer boroughs.
We should have ample parking everywhere, yes, I agree - like they do so well in Boulder and other cities, that should be part of the plan. But in some sections of this city, having the option to throw your bike on a bus in an emergency or to use it for part of your commute would be key and help grow the bike commuting population.
I don't know how often you guys hang out in some of the places we recommended (I hope you read the entire post) but I am one of the rare New Yorkers who visits Staten Island at least a few times per year and I have ridden much in east Queens. Both of those places have a very tiny fraction of people using bikes, but many more might consider it if they had access to a bus to put their bike on. Having racks on a bus (at least for many years) is not going to exceed demand in the places recommended. Really.
I find it almost funny that bikes work in 39 of the 40 cities surveyed by Alliance for Biking and Walking, but for some reason there is so much against it here. I mean wouldn't you guys like to have bike racks on buses that go over bridges with no bike path? Where is the harm in that? And Staten Island really has a transportation system that is wholly different from the rest of NYC. They need as many mutli-modal options as they can get.
Nowhere did I ever say they should be universally deployed over the entire MTA system, but targeted and smart spots like the ones suggested make sense.

The main issue is that it would add too much additional operational delay to an already slow bus system.
For multi-modal trips, we need a bike share. For emergencies, bike racks in taxis would be good.
I bike so I don't have to take the bus.
That is not true. As both the city officials in DC and Seattle said in the video, the loading adds no delay or almost no delay to loading times (and that comes from the bus drivers themselves). I have watched in SF, DC, and Seattle and just about every stop I observed, the bike rider has loaded the bike up before the end of the line of riders gets on. I'd say the only time it causes any delay at all is when there is only one person with one bike to go aboard.
I just went to a presentation about the experience of added bike racks to buses in Toronto. They said that at even modestly busy stops, the extra time for putting bikes on buses was zero, since it occurs when everyone else is boarding. Just something to think about.
We definitely need bike racks on buses that cross bridges at a bare minimum. It takes some money and logistics, but I haven't heard t a great reason why not. NYC has the best bike access to transit perhaps in the world 24/7, and a pretty extensive network, so this is a fairly low priority in my opinion.
John harshbarger
Where is that list of cities that is shown in the film?
I live in Omaha, ne and we have had racks on every bus for 2 years now and it is great. Only once did I encounter a full rack and decided it was quicker to simply ride my bike to my destination. Though honestly the only 2 times I now use the racks is for transporting a bike to the shop and for the occasional unexpected flat on the way to work.
GW Troll
Within the borders of NYC, demand for bike racks probably isn't that high. All the numerous East/Harlem river bridges have bike paths and the extensive bike friendly subway network fills the need as well. The real demand is on the NJ transit buses. It is either difficult or expensive to cross the Hudson river by bike. The ferries are great, but the cheapest one costs $9.75 each way, $1 extra for a bike! The PATH train is great and cheap, but viciously defends it's rush hour restrictions with threat of arrest, even on the empty, and I do mean empty, cars commuting NY to NJ opposite the flow. The final option is going potentially 20 miles out of the way to the GW bridge. If the Buses had racks, it would open the door to 100's of frequently running lines into various points of entry that are inaccessible by bike.

This is a great film with really good suggestions! Increasing multimodal bike options for Staten Island will help ease SIers from their car dependency as many of their buses go north-south to the ferry terminal but not east-west crosstown. Also, there is no easy way of getting your bike from Queens to the Bronx (or vice versa) without either driving across the bridge or taking an extremely long detour through Manhattan. The QBx1 used to have a bike rack. Please bring it back!
@Kevin Love: Could you please provide some details on the why NL rejected thing you mention?

@Todd - You might be thinking of the Highway 17 commuter express bus between Santa Cruz and San Jose, in which you can stow a bike in the handicap area if space permits; otherwise, no bikes allowed inside Santa Cruz buses. Santa Clara VTA (which serves "Silicon Valley") drivers will sometimes let me bring my bike inside if there's room.

A great idea, and a very smart selection of routes to start on for pilot programs. Any idea how many buses make those trips across the VZ, Throggs Neck, etc., each day? The only risk I see is that since people aren't used to thinking of these routes as being ones you can take a bike across, not enough people would use the bus racks, and then the pilot would be declared a failure (sort of the same way that, while I'm a Zipcar member, I don't use it that much because my lifestyle is already car-free). You'd need some education to avoid delays and a built-in commuter base to show that the racks were worthwhile.
Bus racks were tried on the Whitestone Bridge express bus some long years back, they were discontinued because of lack of use. Though maybe it's time for some experiments on some of the routes than Clarence suggests, especially Staten Island. Though, along with subways, NYC is also different from other cities, because there are 55,000 livery cabs roaming around outside of Manhattan, which are easy to (illegally) hail in the event of bad weather or mechanical problems. In an era when bus service is being slashed, and maintenance reduced, racks on NYC buses will be a hard sell.
I used to live in Seattle, and they have racks on every bus there - I used bus bike racks on every transit system from Everett to Olympia.
What happens when the rack is full (which is not common) is that you wait for the next bus. If it happens on the last bus, usually the driver will let you take the bike inside, although they are not supposed to. There is only one time I was stuck in this situation, and that was on the last bus from Lakewood to Olympia where the rack was full. Unfortunately the only way to get home at that point was for me to bike about 20 miles. Partly this was on the shoulder of I5, as for some of the way it is literally the only road between Pierce and Thurston counties.
It sucked that one time, but it would have sucked even more if there were never any bike racks and I had to do this trip (usually twice weekly) entirely by bicycle every time - about 70 miles. Or else by bus and walking - I lived about 5 miles from the nearest bus stop. It's better to have something, even if it's full sometimes. I think this is less of an issue here because many of the bus routes run 24 hours.
And the loading time was never a big deal. It takes about 10 seconds to put a bike on the rack.
The issue with not being allowed to load or unload a bike downtown I never really understood, but it's not a big deal because that area is pretty small. You can bike the entire length of downtown Seattle in probably 3 minutes - faster than if you stayed on the bus, in fact.
JK - yeah I realize that it is a hard sell (as I quipped in the video) but I do think if they take this idea and start planning out some experiments without purchasing anything then maybe in a few years when hopefully this budget mess is cleared up, maybe they could implement something.
I think the Whitestone Bridge was likely not used enough because A) we had far fewer riders then, and B) Transportation Alternatives seemed to be the only outlet where it was being actively encouraged. I do think any trial these days would be easier to get the word out about.
Looking at the AFB&W chart I think have to all get over the "but NYC is different, it won't work here" attitude. I mean 37 major cities in the U.S. have 100% of their fleet with bike racks! And the others on the list are all somewhere between 25% and 95%, so I do not buy that NYC cannot do this.
Chicago, SF, Philadelphia, Portland all have pretty good subway/train systems, so I think saying we have the NYC subway system to lean on doesn't totally work.

In the fall of 2010 I helped form a small Transportation Alternative Brooklyn Chapter committee to look into this issue. I had just moved to NYC and was actually quite shocked to see that the MTA did not outfit the buses with racks.
The challenge, as it was explained to me, is not with bus delay, lack of use, or overuse, but rather the bus depots are supposedly so crowded that the extra few inches added to the front each bus will mean that some buses will not be able to park in the depot (they park them bumper to bumper).
This seemed like a strange excuse, given the existence of modular racks (snap on and off in seconds), and the fact that buses are always coming and going from the depot. Look up aerial images in Google Earth and it seems most depot lots are not full. Late night hours would be different, I suppose.
I am trying to find time to look deeper into this issue on behalf of our Brooklyn TA chapter.
I live in the DC area, and knowing that every bus is going to have a bike rack gives me peace of mind, even though I've only used them a handful of times. Nice in the rain when you just don't feel like being cold and wet as well as with flats and breakdowns.
Concerns about them filling up are overblown; I think that would be a rare event. And, actually, that's one of those problems that you'd like to have (not as the cyclist, of course, but as the transportation planner).
However, it can't be done piecemeal, with only some buses. If a route has racks on some buses, they need to be on all buses for that route. I like the Staten Island idea, because it provides certainty to the cyclists.
Mike, NYC Transit has been consistent about the depot space problem, lack of maneuvering room, lots of broken racks in '90's pilot. Could they figure it out? Probably. But at what cost of time and effort? The bigger issue is scalability and scarcity. NYC Transit is reeling from budget cuts. Even in Chicago, where all buses have had racks for years, bike aboard riders are maybe half of 1% of all bus riders. During a time of major cuts in NYC bus service, it is hard to argue for a service that will be at best used by a tiny portion of riders. The argument for bike aboard is usually back-up. But where in NYC, except for parts of SI, are buses a better back-up option than taxi or livery for getting home?
Should have added as item one that the politics of racks on buses in NYC are terrible. For Transit to roll out a new service for a tiny number of cyclists, while other people are having their service eliminated is not attractive. Nor is the prospect of ordering them on buses and seeing them empty. NYC does have a different political culture around cycling --- have the Chicago and LA city councils spent as much time as NYC's undermining cycling?
@JK - I understood that the bike racks on the QBx1 were removed when the MTA took over the private bus company that used to run the route for standardization, not necessarily from lack of use. Do you have data that says that?
Also I find your reference to livery cabs a little flip. If we are discussing multi-modal transportation in reference to BUSES and BIKES, livery cabs are not going to be a feasible solution in the long term. Plus you can't transport most bikes in most livery cabs.
I think this is a great idea and one that many people would take advantage of. It would encourage more cyclists to ride in areas otherwise inconvenient or sometimes in accessible. A pilot program is a good idea to test the viability of it, work out the kinks, and improve our transportation system.
http://walkbikejersey.blogspot.com/ Andy B from Jersey
Hey, even NJ Transit is finally getting with it and installing bike racks on its new fleet of low-floor urban buses as they arrive. Still, it was a tough sell for some odd reason but the are coming. Yeah! You can read more about it at:
http://walkbikejersey.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-buses-with-bike-racks-gradually.html
Great video as always Clarence!
http://www.livablestreets.com/people/IanD Ian Dutton
Clarence - you're spot on, like usual! Outer-borough and cross-bridge connections are where the demand is clearest and benefit the greatest, but I can think of trips in Manhattan that also point to bike-on-bus services (though the arrival of our anxiously-awaited bike share system in 2011/2012 will patch some of those holes).
Seen last week in Halewa, Hawaii - a mobility-impaired gentleman descending from a public bus, retrieving his bike from the front-end rack, and pedaling to a destination that I imagine he couldn't possibly walk to. Tell him he doesn't deserve bicycle accommodations!
A good explanation of why there are no bike racks on busses in the Netherlands may be found at:
http://hembrow.blogspot.com/2008/10/things-that-dont-scale.html
Short version: If 40% of bus passengers arrive at the bus stop by bike, then a 20-bike rack would be needed.
This is one of those things that just doesn't scale to the demand.
Kevin, in Clarence's video and many others the racks are rarely full. Presumably there would be a lot of extra capacity in NYC as well until cycle mode share picked up a lot in particular in S.I. etc. When the racks are at capacity it is time for a new solution, for example requiring reservations or charging (though it has never been done and would be difficult to manage) to complement other solutions (parking, electric bikes, better infrastructure) and reality (higher gas prices etc.).
To the 'scale' question - it's true, bike racks on buses don't scale beyond a marginal minority. But it does fit into the American mold of inoffensive 'baby steps.' Consider the political opposition that has fixated on cost-effective systemic solutions like Prospect Park West, or San Francisco's bike plan.
Thanks a lot for using Staten Island as the example. The terrain around the ferry terminal is extremely hilly, which is amazing for heading to ferry, but daunting for coming back. The ONLY reason I do not ride more is the hills. Bike racks on buses would have a major impact for me.
Only problem is the NYC ALREADY has the slowest average bus speed in the nation, and this would only slow them down further.
They could do the obvious thing and make it so that unlimited passes don't need to be scanned (just shown to the driver). That would probably cut boarding time by about 2 seconds per rider, which would speed things up considerably. That's what they do in Toronto - you don't have to scan passes on buses or streetcars.
But that would make too much sense for NY.
@David - If a lot of cyclists only need a one-way trip it is fine but may need a special solution in addition to bike racks.
@Chris - As the video mentioned, bikes do not slow a bus down. The driver being involved in checking or selling fares is ridiculous and has been eliminated on most buses in Europe (in particular in Eastern Europe urban buses) for years, with an honour system using passes, SMS ticketing and/or externally purchased and stamped tickets.
Why not settle for bike parking at all bus stops instead? As earlier mentioned, a bus can only carry 2-3 bikes. What will happen when more and more people realise that intermodal transportation is great? As soon as biking will increase just a little bit in NYC, there will be NO capacity left. Putting out plenty of bike parking is the only good choice!
There needs to be a supplementary (and ideally complementary) way to carry bikes in all five Boroughs, in combination with parking. So, at any time, in any place, a bike can be carried in a vehicle of some sort and that all major bus stops (to start) should have safe bike parking.
http://www.baltimorespokes.org Barry Childress
FWIW I was around when Baltimore went from 0% to 100% bike racks on buses.
I love your idea of starting in Staten Island.
From my experience the minimum you really can do is 100% of the buses in a yard (sans buses retiring that year.)
So the idea of just having racks on buses on the bridges while a nice idea is a logistic nightmare for the buses involved.
I will also note we used CMAQ funds for our racks.
Dare I suggest that most of the bus systems in the U.S. are in no way comparable to New York's? Wouldn't it make more sense to look at New York's peer cities around the world, cities with transit usage patterns that in some way resemble New York's? In many smaller cities, bus ridership is relatively low, and adding bike racks is a good way to increase ridership. Does that apply in New York? I don't think so.
Despite the claims made in the video and in the comments, the process of mounting and unmounting the bike does take considerable time. Sometimes it can be done while others are boarding, but what if the bicyclist is the only person waiting to get on, and what happens when he gets off? That slows down service for the 99%+ of bus riders who don't have bikes, and if even increases operating costs if the slowdown triggers a need for more buses to provide the same frequency of service.
And what happens when the bicyclist gets on the bus? Does he move to the back like a good bus rider? I doubt it - he will probably remain at the front to keep an eye on the bike, either standing in the way of people boarding at subsequent stops or sitting in the seats designated for the elderly and disabled. Then when he needs to get off the bus, does he use the rear door like a good bus rider? Probably not, and exiting through the front door holds up service even more.
What about liability? Who's liable if a bike is stolen or damaged? If there is any chance that the courts will hold the MTA liable, then this will simply not happen - end of story.
There are logistical issues. Buses are not generally fixed to specific routes. With only a few exceptions (SBS-branded buses on SBS routes, luggage rack buses on the M60), any local bus in the depot will go out on any local route, and any express bus in the depot will go out on any express route. Further segmenting the fleet - designating certain buses as required for the bridge routes - adds to NYCT's costs.
Finally, if would help if advocates of bikes on buses would familiarize themselves with the facts on the ground. As can be easily confirmed by looking at a Queens or Bronx bus map, there are no buses over the Throgs Neck Bridge! And as a few have commented on, the QBx1 used to have bike racks on its buses over the Whitestone Bridge. How can bikes on buses be proposed without even looking at that earlier program? How did it do? Was it popular? Did it have any impacts on service? What has changed since then?
Pilot programs are expensive. Asking the MTA to study the feasibility of installing bike racks is reasonable. Asking for a borough-wide pilot is not.
At least two people mentioned what is often called "mobility insurance", i.e. if you know you have some type of backup to your cycle trip, you will be more likely to cycle.
I am not sure how this applies in NYC but current bike + subway users could be asked about it.
At best, with mobility insurance a cyclist may never or rarely use the subway (or bus or rack-equipped taxi), but just knowing it's there will encourage round-trips by bike, and this can possibly mean that new trips (because of possibility of combination) is cancelled out by people going by bike instead. See, kids, it is not so linear.
Mobility insurance also allows spontaniety (meet someone by luck, make spontaneous journey together when only one of you has a bike and so on...)
Andrew, while it is true that NYC is not like many other cities, once you get on the bus, it's very similar. In perhaps all the cities/systems where racks have been installed there are not serious enough problems with inside the bus behaviour, liability etc. to make any operators remove the racks.
http://www.trimet.org/bikes Colin Maher
@ Todd Edelman
'mobility insurance' - I love it! That's really the benefit of bike racks on buses.
It's hard to put a value on insurance, but there are some practical cost issues you may want to consider: For new buses, the cost of bike racks is almost a negligible expense. However, it takes 15+ years to replace an entire bus fleet with new buses. Retrofitting existing buses with bike racks likely requires outside funding. Those grants could also fund bike parking, which is really the long-term solution since the bike racks will be full sooner than you think.
Todd:
Actually, once you get on the bus, it's quite different. Buses here are generally a lot more crowded than elsewhere in the U.S., and they're far more critical to the local economy, with many bus riders having long rides with multiple connections. On a crowded, frequent route, a delay of just a few minutes can cause severe overcrowding. The experience in Kansas City is simply irrelevant. How about looking at major world-class cities like London and Tokyo? Do their bus systems have bike racks? If not, why not? If so, what challenges did they have to overcome and are they encountering any operational problems now that they're installed?
I think that approach would be a lot more fruitful than assuming that everything will be hunky dory because New York is no different from Kansas City.
They should just try it in areas not served by the subway.
We have them in Boston and I used one recently when I got my first flat in two years. It was awesome, and it took no extra time; the twenty seconds or so it took for me to put my bike up was time I would have been waiting for other people to get off or on the bus anyway. The more crowded the bus route, the less this will slow the bus down--since buses are already pretty slow. 😉
MTANYC
MTA NYCT is NOT gonna install bike racks on their buses at all. They did consider this did idea but they didn't like this idea because "the idea was nixed due to concerns about liability". Bike racks are hard because they have tight turns on routes.
Installing bike racks would be a waste of tax money and would increase slower boarding especially the travel time would be slower.
NYC is anyways too fast for them, btw, it's another reason why MTA NYCT don't accept dollar bills because paying coins and/or using Metrocards is more efficent.
There lots of reasons why MTA will never USE the bike racks on the NYC buses.It's not a good idea and it wont happen anyways, no matter what you say, but then again this is only an opinion article Im reading, not a fact.
It's not a good idea and it wont happen anyways, no matter what you say, but then again this is only an opinion article Im reading, not a fact.
NYC isn't NOT other cities, so that is all.
Hi Clarence, Great job on this short. I live in north eastern Queens and bike regularly around the area. I work in the Bronx and have always thought of riding to work. The only way to go now would be to ride to Astoria and go over the Tri-boro (aka RFK) bridge. This would be a 10 mile increase. In the absence of the MTA stepping up, perhaps a private concern could set up a schedule for a Van with a rack to make pick ups and drop offs at specific locations at these crossings. I do believe that if a private concern starts making money then the bean counters at MTA would see this and start complaining then something would get done. This would be a good start up business for an entrepreneur with some minimal mechanical ability in regards to the loading and unloading of the bikes.. Just my 2 cents...Be safe out there!..Matt
I've used bike racks in other cities for some time, and I challenge your statements.
A properly designed bike rack can be loaded/unloaded literally in seconds.
There have even been times that I've loaded my bicycle and made it to the bus door before the other person at the stop has finished feeding coins for their fare into the farebox.
As far as fareboxes that don't accept dollar bills are concerned, this is the perfect opportunity for the federal department of the treasury to release some of the millions of dollar coins they have in storage so that we can use them in vending machines and for public transportation.

Prepare Your Pets For Disaster
It is time for homeowners to start including their pets in their emergency plans for disasters such as bushfires and cyclones.
Dr Mark Perissinotto, from online pet supply retailer VetShopAustralia.com.au, said animals are often the forgotten casualties of natural disasters but the best thing people can do for themselves and their pets is to be prepared.
“Emergencies such as bushfires and cyclones are an all too common occurrence in Australia and their effects can be devastating,” Dr Perissinotto said.
“Unfortunately, residents often need to be quickly evacuated from their homes when in the path of such advancing natural disasters, which is why it is important to be prepared for the worst to not only save the lives of your family, but also your pets.”
Dr Perissinotto said householders could boost their pets’ chances of survival with a pet emergency rescue sticker, which is designed to be placed in a prominent position at the front of a house.
“The sticker alerts emergency crews to the number and the type of pets that you have in your house, reducing the amount of time it takes crews to locate them and ensuring your furry friends are not left behind,” Dr Perissinotto said.
“Pet owners should also create an evacuation plan, which includes a list of pet-friendly accommodation that you can go to and the contact details of animal boarding houses and shelters.
“If circumstances permit, draw a line through the animals listed on your pet rescue sticker that you have evacuated to ensure rescue crews will know not to look for them.”
Householders should also ensure their pets are micro-chipped and wearing ID tags in the event they go missing during an emergency, and create a pet emergency supply kit containing items such as food, bottled water, a bowl, first aid, blankets and medications.
“Try to take your pets with you in an emergency situation but remember to put your own safety and the safety of your family first,” Dr Perissinotto said.
VetShopAustralia is giving away pet emergency rescue stickers. To order your free sticker visit www.vetshopaustralia.com.au/petrescuesticker.
Animals in the war
ANZAC Day: Lest We Forget
This weekend is ANZAC Day and it is a time to remember all of the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice over the years to protect our way of living here in Australia.
I read a newspaper article that got me thinking about how much animals have helped us along the way in all our human endeavours, including our conflicts.
The article was about a new memorial for all the brave animals who have served with the Australian armed forces in overseas wars, past and present.
The memorial honours guard dogs and cavalry horses of course, but also the other types of animals that have helped man in foreign wars.
How many people would know that an Australian trained carrier pigeon carried a message in the Pacific that lead to American soldiers being rescued from heavy enemy attack? The bird in question won the Dickin Medal (kind of like the "Victoria Cross" for Animals). The citation reads:
Blue chequer cock No. 879:D/D: 43: Q Loft No. 5 of 1 Australian Pigeon Section, attached to the US forces, Manus Island, Admiralty Islands 5th April 1944. Awarded the Dickin Medal for gallantry carrying a message through heavy fire thereby bringing relief to a patrol surrounded and attacked by the enemy without other means of communication.
And of course, lets not forget the mascots that many platoons and companies keep. From bulldogs to cockatoos, from kangaroos to crocodiles, these mascots bring our fighting men and women some entertainment and comfort while far from home.
I love this World War I photo of Aussie troops with a Wallaby mascot in front of the pyramids.
Regardless of what your view is on the rights or wrongs of a particular war (or war in general) there is no denying the bravery of the animals that work along-side our troops.
If you are in the military or know someone who is and have a photo of a military mascot currently serving overseas, I'd love to see it, and if you let me, I'd be happy to post a copy on our blog.

They Joys of Owning an Older Dog (Health Problems)
By VetShopAustralia.com.au
I think my poor wife went into a minor panic last week – our poor old dog, Poppy, had her regular checkup and a number of chronic problems were picked up.
Poppy is a 10 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who has been my wife's baby and a member of the VetShop family since we started the business 11 years ago. But rather than think maudlin thoughts, we're going to make her senior years as wonderful as possible, and cherish the time (years, I hope) that we have!
There is so much we can do to look after our senior pets! Here are some of the things that Poppy & I learned:
1. Regular checkups – there is nothing more important than a regular checkup (for us and our animals!) If we hadn’t found out about these problems, we wouldn’t have been able to help our old girl!
2. Supplements – Poppy has been diagnosed with severe arthritis in the back knees. I’ve put her on a life-long daily dose of Sasha’s Blend tablets, which will help to protect her joints, and help prevent further deterioration. We want the rest of her days to be as active and pain free as possible. Because of the arthritis, we are also being careful of how the children lift and carry her, and monitoring her use of our stairs.
3. Teeth Cleaning – I will confess – I have probably been a little lax in this department and have now paid the price! 4 rotten teeth, and oral surgery to correct this, didn’t come cheap! Now, I’ll be cleaning Poppy’s teeth, and those of her little sister Rosie, much more regularly. If you start cleaning your dog’s teeth when they are puppies, this routine is even easier to establish!
4. Canine Probiotics – Poppy is now on a course of canine antibiotics, following surgery. And just as these drugs can upset our system when we take antibiotics, the digestive system of dogs can use some extra help when they are taking canine antibiotics as well. Poppy is now taking a prodigestive, to reestablish all the good gut microflora.
We are so thrilled how quickly Poppy has recovered from her oral surgery (thanks, Dr Josh!) and how active she is - and we'’ll be taking a little extra care of our much loved senior citizen from now on!
Eagles Heritage in the Margaret River, W A
By Robyne P
Recently, I spent two weeks in Western Australia in the beautiful Mandurah and Margaret River areas. While visiting the tourist attractions in the area, I came across a very interesting Raptor Wildlife Centre called Eagles Heritage. Whilst I enjoyed the flying display of the kites and a very informative narrative from the handler about the raptors of Australia, I was dismayed to hear how we unknowingly kill our raptors and other wildlife.
Naturally, we do not want rats and mice in our homes for various reasons, we therefore go about trying to eradicate them. What most of us are unaware of is that when we place baits containing Warfarin, Bromadioline or Brodifacoum, it can take three to ten days for the mice and rats to die. During that period, the rodents may become a meal for a bird of prey or even a domestic cat or dog. Depending on the number of animals preyed upon, the predator then becomes ill, begins to bleed internally and unless the animal is given veterinary attention, it may die.
Please consider other alternatives for the eradication of rats and mice to protect our native and domestic animals. One of these alternatives is a Coumatetrayl based poison called Racumin which is available from shops at approximately the same price as the baits previously mentioned. Please keep in mind that all poisons are dangerous chemicals and you should always follow the safety precautions on the label, especially with regard to accessibility of bait to children.

The Shtick
Board Game Show N' Play
Board Game Show N’ Play
April 3rd (Wednesday), 2019 - 6 PM to 11 PM
Berg’n Beer Hall
‘Board Game Show N’ Play’ is a one night special event where 10 of NYC’s coolest local board game designers/design groups show off and demo selected games that will be free to play for all! From strategy to party from two player to large groups there will be a game for every taste. Full listing of games with links below to learn more!
Other than a mandatory 2 drink minimum (or food equivalent) this is a free event. RSVPs are not necessary to attend, but useful if you feel inclined. The demos will be ongoing throughout the night, so coming later than the start time is totally fine!
Wavelength is a social guessing game where two teams compete to read each other's minds. It’s a thrilling experience of TALKING and THINKING and HIGH FIVING that anyone can play—but it also has some of that deep word game sorcery, like Codenames, where your decisions feel tense, strategic, meaningful.
DeadBall
Deadball is a fast-paced baseball game for one or two players that uses real statistics and RPG dice to bring the ballpark to your tabletop. In fifteen or twenty minutes, simulate a full game between real or imaginary teams, using an elegantly simple system that's intuitive to die-hards and casual fans alike.
For the dead of winter, for the dead of night, for when your team is dead in the water, Deadball is there.
FlipTales
FlipTales is a party game for creative people! In FlipTales, you and your friends pretend to be different magical characters in a story, working together to advance the plot. It's like Mad-Libs meets Choose-Your-Own-Adventure.
FlipTales was created to bring more accessibility and inclusivity to the Dungeons & Dragons genre by focusing on simple design, light-hearted voice, and gender-neutral content.
Status Report! is an asymmetrical social deduction game where one player is the Captain of a spaceship and everyone else plays one of the ship's on-board Artificial Intelligence programs. Unfortunately for the Captain, only one of these AI is still operational. But which one?
Trailhead is a survival themed dice game that's all about managing your resources, pushing your luck, and being adventurous. In Trailhead you do what it takes to be the first player to escape the wilderness alive - even if it means getting a little aggro with other players. Compact enough to take anywhere, Trailhead is easy to learn and perfect for both the kitchen table and the campsite.
High Rise is a citybuilding game with a bit of corruption, from the designer of The Networks, Wordsy, and Bad Medicine. You'll move along a one-way time track to gather material to construct your building. You can boost many of these actions by taking corruption. But of course, if you take too much corruption, you'll be hit with penalties...
As the game progresses, the city's skyline emerges through lovely 3D pieces. And the board will change every time you play!
Senators is best described as an adversarial bidding game. Players earn money by purchasing resources at auction, extorting them from other players, then selling them in sets to the bank. Cash is required to support wars, defend against aggressive bids, and most importantly to buy more Senators. The game lasts a variable number of turns, and when the fourth war is revealed it immediately ends. At that point, the player with the most Senators wins!
Wing It is a hilarious storytelling and problem-solving game. You and your friends pit your imaginations against each other as you dream up ways to overcome unlikely challenges (...now an eerily well-coordinated horde of angry jelly fish begins to rock the boat until it tips precariously from side to side...) with an even unlikelier set of resources (...and all you have is the Book of Mormon, a magic flying dish towel, 5 seductive chickens, one pound of leg hair, and a complete collection of Hitchcock films).
FIre Tower
Smoke rises on the horizon. A fire rages in the heart of the forest. Command your forces from the height of a fire tower as the inferno grows with each turn. Harness the power of the wind to push the blaze towards the other towers, clear tracts of land to fortify your position, hinder the plans of your opponents with torrents of water, and unleash an arsenal of fire cards upon your foes.

Someone Has Died
Someone Has Died is an improvisational storytelling game that takes one of the coldest and most arduous legal procedures a person can endure and turns it into a gut-busting, baby role-playing game that players of all skill levels can enjoy.
There's nothing important here, but since you scrolled all the way here's a recipe for a Ramos Gin Fizz.
2 ounces gin -- London dry gin
1 ounce heavy cream
1/2 ounce lime juice
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
2 to 3 drops orange flower water
Combine in a chilled cocktail shaker with plenty of cracked ice, then shake viciously for at least one minute -- preferably two -- and strain into a chilled Collins glass. Top up with cold seltzer or club soda.

Dundee continues to drive American tourism with latest ‘Why Australia’ video series
Tourism Australia has released a new online video series as part of their A$36-million USA marketing push aimed at supercharging American tourism Down Under.
Following the launch of Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns, the movie that was actually a tourism ad for Australia, the five new Why Australia episodes star American actor Danny McBride and a cast of well-known Friends of Australia including Chris Hemsworth, Curtis Stone, Matt Wright and Jessica Mauboy.
Highlighting each of Australia’s states and territories, the renowned Aussies share their personal stories and insights on Australia’s food and wine, nature and wildlife, aquatic and coastal experiences, culture and heritage and sport and events.
Tourism Australia Chief Marketing Officer Lisa Ronson said its Why Australia content series aimed to capitalise upon the hype surrounding Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns.
“We couldn't be happier with the reaction to our Super Bowl ad. The ad and the teasers that preceded it caught the attention and the imagination of millions of Americans and have given us an unprecedented platform to now convert that interest into travel bookings.
"Why Australia is part of that conversion exercise. The content adds depth and colour to our destination story by harnessing some of our country's best known international stars to show the high value American traveller some of Australia’s top destinations and best experiences."
"Each of these short videos is informative, entertaining and tailored to highlight locations, products and experiences that we know will resonate strongly with our higher yielding target traveller - from beaches and culture, to food and events.”
Tourism Australia’s campaign activity in the US includes a dedicated campaign ‘marketplace’ with tailored holiday offers from more than 20 campaign partners, including Qantas, American Airlines and Wine Australia on Australia.com.
Immediately following broadcast, Tourism Australia experienced record traffic to Australia.com, with the website attracting visitors from more than 10,000 US towns and cities. Feedback from our airline and key distribution partners has also been extremely positive.
Qantas Vacations reported the company experienced increased website traffic and double the normal number of leads within the first 24 hours of the ad airing.
Aspire Down Under saw a strong response to its travel package featured in the Dundee campaign, with a 30 per cent jump in leads compared to the same period last year, and Australia sales expected to increase 42 per cent year on year.
Travel company Down Under Answers saw web traffic quadruple the week after the launch, with ongoing enquiries being received for Australia as a result of the ad and surrounding media.
While the campaign is still in its early stages initial results have been positive:
Since the launch, Dundee has amassed more than 100 million video views on social media, generated more than 12,000 media articles and delivered over $74 million in estimated advertising value.
The campaign has achieved a social media reach of approximately 890 million across multiple platforms with 80% of this US-based.
The ad was ranked in the Top 5 best ads in Super Bowl by Adweek, Bleecher Report, Washington Post and the top 6 funniest commercials by USA Today and was also the highest searched Super Bowl campaign this year, according to Google.
Part of its global Masterbrand There's Nothing Like Australia, the new campaign is the biggest single investment Tourism Australia has made in the US market since Paul Hogan’s famous Come Say G’day ads over 30 years ago.

« Cards move into districts af... Poland wins Red Tier»
Poland boys get wins to advance to semi-finals
Nik Zirounis , The Town Crier
It hasn't been the greatest of regular seasons for the Poland baseball team this year.
The Bulldogs hovered around the .500 mark all season and finished in the middle of the pack in the All-American Conference's Red Tier. Once the Division II tournament started last week, however, the eighth seeded Bulldogs' season took a turn for the better.
Poland's boys captured a pair of wins in the sectionals to advance to the Struthers District semifinals. That showdown with Niles was scheduled for this past Tuesday at Cene Park. The winner of that battle will meet either Canfield or Cardinal Mooney.
"We seem to be getting into a good rhythm at the right time," said Poland head coach Rich Murray last weekend. "Niles is good with a really good pitcher. It should be an exciting game."
Murray's kids played an extremely exciting game in round one of the tournament. Down 4-2 to Ursuline heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, the Bulldogs needed a miracle to keep their playoff hopes alive. They got that miracle in the form of junior Cole Kosco who slammed a game-winning, three-run homerun in a season saving 5-4 triumph. Braeden O'Shaughnessy, Zach Yaskulka, Jeremy Castro and M.J. Farmer all had two hits to aid the Bulldogs.
That win in the sectional opener gave the Poland club the momentum it needed to claim the sectional crown the following day at West Branch. O'Shaughnessy, Reed McCreery and Alex Barth all knocked home two runs as the Bulldogs upset the top seeded Warriors 8-5. Senior starting pitcher Matt Sperati didn't have his greatest stuff last Wednesday afternoon, but he kept the West Branch hitters off balance just enough to grind out the win.
"Matt Sperati battled all game pitching versus a really good West Branch team," said Murray. "We played a solid game."
Poland's play wasn't as solid when it lost its final regular season game to Boardman last Friday. The Spartans out-slugged the Bulldogs 15-9 to clinch a share of the Red Tier title. McCreery went 2 for 3 and brought home three runs. O'Shaughnessy was a perfect 4 for 4 with two doubles.
That loss to Boardman was more or less a practice game for Poland in the off days before the districts. The important contest was the one against the Red Dragons. Should Poland continue its unexpected run through Struthers and number two seed Canfield takes care of business against the other Cardinals, then a district championship pitting two of this area's greatest rivals will have been played on May 16. Of course, it was hard to get Coach Murray to acknowledge a potential battle royale with the Redbirds before his team beat Niles.
"We take it one game at a time," said Murray. "We're just happy to be in the position we're in right now."

Based in Lake Tahoe, California, AdventureSmith Explorations is the global leader in small ship, expeditionary cruise vacations. Company founder Todd Smith pioneered the concept of wilderness cruising - combining the comforts of a small cruise ship with the adventure of sea kayaking and exploring ashore in remote wilderness areas. Founded in 2003, AdventureSmith Explorations carefully matches its guests with the top names in expedition cruising as well as smaller, boutique ships that don't make the radar of most travelers.
Dedicated to small footprint, sustainable travel AdventureSmith Explorations orchestrates connections with the world's most exotic natural environments and vibrant native cultures through small ship cruising. Voyages combine intimate cruising with rewarding and exciting activities such as sea kayaking, hiking, and rafting in places usually not found on more mainstream itineraries. The company specializes in extraordinary, off-the-beaten-path destinations in Alaska, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Belize, Ecuador and the Galapagos, Guatemala, the Arctic, Antarctica and New Zealand.
Commitment to Sustainable Travel
The nature of modern travel inherently emits harmful carbon emissions through the burning of fossil fuels. Planes, ships, cars and lodges are all sources of additional carbon in our atmosphere and contribute to global warming. AdventureSmith Explorations has calculated the amount of carbon emitted by their small ship cruise passengers each year. Through the company’s Carbon Free Cruising campaign they have completely neutralized those emissions and hope to educate travelers about how to fight global warming by reducing their own carbon footprint. See https://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/carbon-free-cruising for more information.
In addition to its ground breaking Carbon Free Cruising initiative, the company's mission is to give back to the individuals, communities and environments touched by AdventureSmith Explorations trips by connecting travelers with a network of grassroots and global nonprofit partners worldwide including the Alaska Natural History Association, Neotropica Foundation, and Galapagos Conservancy. See: https://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/conservation for more information.

Splendid Color, Wine Harvests, Oysters and Curated Food Vendors Embellish Autumn’s Small Ship Cruises in Pacific Northwest
Released on Monday, 12 September 2016 09:31
TAHOE CITY, CA, Sept. 12, 2016– Splendid color, wine harvests, rare oysters and curated food vendors are bonuses while traveling this fall on Pacific Northwest waterways with small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/).
All of the cruises are accessed through gateway cities in the Pacific Northwest. Two cruises expound on the lore and meanderings of four remarkable rivers, while another cruise explores the beauty of the San Juan Islands and the Olympic rainforest.
“Autumn is a bustling time in the Pacific Northwest, especially along the paths of small ship cruises, which take into account changing colors and local harvests. It’s a special time when travelers can actually experience and taste the bounty on board,” shares Todd Smith, Founder and President of AdventureSmith Explorations. Here are three recommended small ship cruises:
Rivers of Wine - roundtrip from Portland, OR: Washington and Oregon vineyards saw their first picks of sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot gris grapes in mid-August. But here the wine harvest lingers into November, which means that Rivers of Wine cruise departures through the Columbia River Gorge can showcase the behind-the-scenes drama of vine to bottle. Vineyard tours and tastings over eight days are paired with four rivers -- Columbia, Snake, Willamette and Palouse – on this wine-focused itinerary aboard the 88-guest replica steamer S.S. Legacy. All wine, premium spirit and microbrew tastings, and the insights of a guest wine expert, are included in the cruise cost. This region is a hot spot for vintners. In Washington alone there are more than 850 wineries; the Walla Walla appellation boasts nearly 3,000 acres of these planted vineyards. Passengers disembark here on day 3 of the cruise to tour numerous wineries, including the unique Dunham Cellars located in a remodeled World War II era airplane hangar. Sailing from Portland, guests witness the city’s famed crimson-red ornamental maples. Portland’s Japanese Garden is a riot of color this time of year and a recommended pre- or post-cruise stop. The per person double rate is from $3,695. The last trip this season departs Oct. 29. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/rivers-wine-history-cruise-columbia-snake-river
Columbia & Snake Rivers Journey – sails between Portland, OR & Clarkston, WA: This 7-day cruise operated by the renowned Lindblad Expeditions features National Geographic guides and experts on board and comes with a culinary focus: each meal is harvested from farms along the rivers and through the company’s Food Alliance affiliation. Lindblad Expeditions says they are the only Food Alliance Supply Chain Ally in the travel industry, ensuring that the food they serve is produced by well-treated workers; that meat products come from humanely raised animals; and that the regional soil, water and wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced. Some of the region’s providers supported on this itinerary include Country Natural Beef, a cooperative of 120 family ranches; Tillamook Cheese, made up of 110 dairy farms committed to animal welfare and dating back to 1909; and Draper Valley Farms, the pioneer of Washington- and Oregon-raised fresh chicken since 1935. Guests will also be able to visit a Hood River family farm where they can sample fresh fruit and see the orchard outfitted with fall colors. Guests also enjoy the spectacle of huckleberry plants painting the hillsides gold, scarlet and orange.
Pairing with the cuisine are local wines representing the various growing areas along the Columbia and Snake rivers as well as regionally brewed beers. Among the many craft brewers, guests will discover two of the region's most notable: Full Sail Brewing and Deschutes Brewery, both committed to socially responsible practices. Wine and craft beer tastings are complimentary during each evening's guide recap and dinner. Additional pours and alcoholic drinks are available at additional cost. The per person double rate is from $4,750. The last trip this season departs Oct. 25. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/columbia-and-snake-rivers-journey
Olympic Wilderness & San Juan Islands - roundtrip from Seattle, WA: This active (paddle boarding, hiking, kayaking) 8-day cruise aboard the 76-guest Wilderness Discoverer explores the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands while celebrating harvest season with a particular taste of the sea. On many departures, guests get to visit with the five generation family-run Hama Hama Oyster Farm as it enters its peak September through April season. Located on the Olympic Peninsula, Hama Hama’s oyster beds sit at the mouth of one of the shortest, coldest and least developed rivers in Washington, yielding a clean, crisp flavor. Guests sample the farm’s classic, beach-grown Hama Hamas and tumble-farmed Blue Pools.
“I think our oysters are a special local treat,” says Hama Hama’s Lissa James Monberg. “Because our company has been here a long time, we strive to be excellent stewards of the environment and great employers, and we really care about producing a quality product.” Lissa or one of her coworkers joins the 76-guest Wilderness Discoverer to explain how they farm, discuss oyster flavor with tastings and demonstrate how to shuck like a connoisseur.
In this region ornamental maples and quaking aspens display their fall foliage, but a detour into the Cascade Mountains reveals the gold of big-leaf maples and larch that transforms its needles from green to bright yellow in October. The per person rate is from $1,895. The last trip this season departs Nov. 19. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/san-juan-islands-cruise

Coveted Space on Small-Ship Sailings over Holidays Still Available, Some with Special Offers, Reports AdventureSmith Explorations
Released on Tuesday, 23 August 2016 09:50
TAHOE CITY, CA, Aug. 23, 2016 -- Cruises to warm-weather destinations are especially popular over the year-end holidays. Smallship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations, the company that brings cruise guests into intimate contact with seldom-visited shorelines around the world, reports that cabin space, some with special booking offers, is still available over this period. And several of this company’s holiday-flagged destinations are near mainland America, cutting down on flying time and jet lag.
Baja and the Sea of Cortez, for example, are easy to access and are family friendly with a range of itineraries on small 8-to-84-guest ships, some with early booking special offers including savings on air. Baja cruises in late December and early January are marked by the beginning of peak gray whale viewing season and spectacular snorkeling with sea lions. Excellent holiday availability exists on a range of cruise options:
- Baja's Bounty is an eight-day itinerary aboard the 84-guest Safari Endeavour with rates from $2,995 per person double which does not include a $300 savings per couple if booked before Oct. 28, 2016. Baja, a rich archipelago, is an important bird refuge and migration corridor. It is a place author John Steinbeck found “ferocious with life” and it was once described by Jacques Cousteau as “the aquarium of the world.” As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and biosphere reserve, it is one of the most biologically diverse marine environments on earth. Holiday departures: Dec. 17, 24, and 31.
- Wild Islands & Treasures of Baja California aboard the 62-guest National Geographic Sea Bird offers a $750 per person air credit and invites families with children to take 50 percent off the cabin rate for every child under age 18. The per person double rate is from $5,990 for eight days. Guests experience coming ashore on expedition landing craft; they kayak, snorkel, hike and beachcomb, always with an eye out for humpback whales, brown pelicans, gulls, wandering tattlers, great blue herons, and blue-footed boobies that thrive in this protected marine environment, some of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Holiday departures: Dec. 17, 24, and 31.
- Westward Voyages in the Sea of Cortez aboard the historic and intimate eight-guest yacht, Westward, is a 12-day journey from $5,750 per person double. Guests snorkel with whale sharks, view cave paintings of ancient people and say hello to sea lions and whales while passing by. Holiday departures: Dec. 16 and 29.
Galapagos Islands accommodate sailings year-round,but December’s great weather and green landscapes make it an especially popular time of year. Giant tortoise eggs start to hatch and green sea turtles begin egg laying in January. Water temperatures are on the rise, so it's also an ideal time for snorkeling. Availability is already limited on most of the holiday programs to Darwin’s magical archipelago except for Tip Top II and on a land-based Galapagos Island Hopper. The 16-guest, first-class Galapagos Islands yacht Tip Top II operates two unique eight-day Galapagos cruise itineraries which can be shortened into four- or five-day cruises or combined into more comprehensive 11- or 15-day cruises. For example, a four-day program is from $1,843 per person double. Galapagos Island Hopper is a five- to six-day, land-based program from $2,099 per person double. Guests discover miracles abounding on the top two Galapagos volcanic islands: Santa Cruz and Isabela, and their splendid places where the wildlife is unafraid of human visitors. Guests also explore by boat other islands during the day and return to their three distinct lodges by night.
Costa Rica is friendly, tropical and easy to access, plus it’s a great holiday destination, one famed for being family friendly. Verdant rain and cloud forests offer an astounding diversity of tropical birds and wildlife, active volcanoes, waterfalls and beautiful beaches. Plus, the new Uncharted Isthmus cruise brings a whole new level of activity (with the addition of stand-up paddle boarding as well as hiking and kayaking). Here's a look at holiday dates with current availability on these departures:
- Uncharted Isthmus! Sloths, Monkeys & Mangroves – Dec. 17 ($350 savings available), Dec. 23, Dec. 30.
- Costa Rica & the Panama Canal – Dec. 17, Dec. 24, Dec. 31.
- Treasures of Costa Rica & the Panama Canal – Dec. 21 and Dec. 30.
- Quest for Pura Vida– Dec. 20.
Hawaii cruises aboard the all-inclusive 36-guest Safari Explorer pair the tropical allure of the islands with active inclusions like stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking and snorkeling. These are the only unstructured inter-island yacht cruises in the Hawaiian Islands, where the next port may not be a port at all. Instead it may be watching whales, or a secluded sandy beach or a quite cove for exploring surroundings on the shore or in the water. An eight day Hawaiian Seascapes cruise is from $3,795 per person double. Holiday departures: Dec. 17, 24, and 31.

On AdventureSmith’s Pure Panama: Cultures, Coasts & Canal participants will also save $350 per cabin through August 30, 2016 on all 2017 departures from April through September. Pre-discount rates start at $3,795 per person, double for the nine-day cruise.
In addition to cruise savings, travelers who let AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/) plan a trip extension ashore in Costa Rica or Panama before or after the Pure Panama or Uncharted Isthmus cruises can save an additional $250 per person ($500 per cabin/couple).
Both itineraries take place aboard the luxurious Safari Voyager, a 62-passenger, 174-foot yacht that AdventureSmith Explorations is introducing following the completion of the ship’s $4 million restoration this fall.
“These new cruises in Costa Rica and Panama will add a much needed option to the current selection of small ship cruises suitable for active travelers seeking to explore off the ship with more opportunities to kayak, paddle board and snorkel,” explains Todd Smith,AdventureSmith Explorations’ founder and president. “Costa Rica has long been a mecca for adventure travelers and now there is an adventure cruising style worthy of this reputation.”
Uncharted Isthmus is an eight-day voyage that explores the shorelines of Costa Rica and Panama by skiff, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling and kayaking. The route covers the entire Pacific coastline of Panama — and most of Costa Rica's as well — making this itinerary one of the most comprehensive ways to cruise the region. Highlights include transiting the 48-mile-long Panama Canal connecting the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean; visiting Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park; snorkeling the crystalline waters at Panama's Granito de Oro; and spotting wildlife like sloths, monkeys and macaws along the way.
Pure Panama is another upscale small ship cruise that focuses on actively exploring Panama over nine days. From home base on Safari Voyager, guests travel by motorized dugout canoe to meet the local Emberá people; hike the magnificent Darién Jungle in search of wildlife; kayak along the Chagres River looking for toucans and monkeys; marvel at its history while transiting the 48-mile-long Panamá Canal; explore the historic UNESCO site Fort San Lorenzo; and kayak, stand up paddle board and snorkel among the rare beauty of Las Perlas and Guna Yala Islands.
According to Smith, “these two itineraries are the most active cruise options now available to these Central American countries.”
If a traveler were to combine these coastal explorations with any Costa Rica or Panama land trip, they can enjoy additional savings. “A top pick is our Tropical Volcano & Cloud Forest cruise extension, a fully guided six-day trip to Arenal National Park and the Monteverde Cloud Forest,” Smith added.
Aboard Safari Voyager
Guests enjoy views from four public decks and a window-lined lounge offering an uncompromised 270-degree view with comfortable seating for all 62 guests and a full-service bar and deck seating. Other features include an elegant dining room and a new library on the Cabin Deck with eight floor-to-ceiling windows, plush furniture and nautical decor. The Sun Deck features a new al fresco public space with fitness equipment and lounge chairs. Two massage rooms are being added in her current renovation.
An aft EZ Dock launch platform provides convenient access into and from the water for adventure activities. The vessel is outfitted with kayaks, stand up paddle boards, inflatable skiffs, snorkel gear, wet suits, and hiking poles. Guests can also take advantage of the onboard wellness program with fitness equipment, yoga mats and a complimentary massage.
Generously sized staterooms include one owner's suite, four suites and two single staterooms. All Safari Voyager cabins feature wide panoramic view windows above the waterline; individually controlled air conditioning; generous storage and closet space; desk and chair; iPod/MP3/4 docking stations; TV/DVD player; and private bath with shower. Depending on the stateroom category, singles, doubles, or triples can be accommodated.
Founded in 2003, AdventureSmith Explorations is based in Tahoe City, CA, along the northern shore of Lake Tahoe. A recognized leader in small ship cruising, in 2012 owner Todd Smith joined the ranks of Conde Nast Traveler's prestigious Annual Travel Specialists List as the world’s expert on small ship expeditions.
Clients of AdventureSmith Explorations Can Now Stand Up Paddle Board on Cruises in Galapagos And in Regions from Antarctica to Alaska
Released on Thursday, 02 June 2016 11:26
TAHOE CITY, CA, June 2, 2016– The small ship cruise company that brings seagoing adventurers into intimate contact with seldom-visited shorelines around the world wholeheartedly embraces the fastest growing watersport – stand up paddle boarding (SUP).
Thanks to a recent green light from the Galapagos National Park Service, SUP is now an approved activity in these UNESCO World Heritage Site waters as well.
AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/), purveyor of small expedition ship experiences around the world, books passage in the Galapagos on 20-guest sister yachts Eric & Letty as well as the new luxury 20-passenger Origin. Each of these small vessels was recently supplied with SUP equipment in anticipation of the park’s final approval granted in late April 2016. This makes them the first SUP-equipped cruises in the region. Guests can pursue paddle boarding along with kayaking in Gardner Bay on Floreana Island, Cerro Brujo on San Cristobal Island, Tagus Cove on Isabela Island and Darwin Bay on Genovesa Island.
“Stand up paddle boarding is a great way for visitors to survey the waters for marine life and to exercise skill and balance,” says Todd Smith, AdventureSmith Explorations’ founder and president. “The sport’s popularity has exploded in the past 10 years, and we’re seeing this translate into the world of small ship cruising with paddle boards coming aboard small ships in a number of destinations where the calm waters of secluded harbors and their marine life are especially enticing.”
Smith explains that SUP provides a different perspective on the water than does kayaking.
“From the standing position you actually look down into the water and with better visibility than from a kayak,” he says. “This is an easy sport to acquire, but we suggest that the learning curve be conducted in warm waters where the expected nose dives aren’t a shock to the body. But we also offer the sport in Alaska and Antarctica with the proper gear.”
Following are destinations in addition to the Galapagos where AdventureSmith partner ships offer this optional activity, included in the cruise rate except where noted:
SUP Antarctica on Ocean Endeavour: Currently in Antarctica, only one vessel, the 199-guest Ocean Endeavour, offers SUP as an add-on adventure option among the ice and icebergs in a calm bay with penguins swimming by. A one-time session atop southern polar waters is $150 (2016-17 season), with all gear including a dry suit provided.
"The stillness and absence of noise are the best parts of SUP. You can hear the ice popping and cracking all around you,” comments AdventureSmith Explorations Adventure Specialist Nick Mitchell.
SUP Alaska, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Baja & the Pacific Northwest with Un-Cruise Adventures’ Fleet: AdventureSmith’s partner Un-Cruise Adventures offers the most SUP cruise options in its fleet, and has been doing so since it added paddle boards in 2011. Itineraries include Baja California, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Panama and the Pacific Northwest region. Paddle boards can be launched right from the ship, or on the shore from beaches.
"We added SUPs because they are a great way to experience Alaska in a safe and active manner," says Un-Cruise Senior Program Manager Tim Ratcliffe. "Many of our guests have never SUP’d before. This becomes their first experience. We have found that we reach our guests by either being the introduction to the sport and/or by allowing the sport to happen in an environment that is incredibly beautiful and breathtaking.”
To see all the Un-Cruise SUP cruise options, browse the following ship's itineraries: 84-guest Safari Endeavour, 36-guest Safari Explorer, 22-guest Safari Quest, 62-guest Safari Voyager, 76-guest Wilderness Explorer, 60-guest Wilderness Adventurer, 76-guest Wilderness Discoverer.
SUP Baja & Costa Rica on National Geographic Sea Bird & Sea Lion: In Costa Rica aboard Sea Lion guests can circumnavigate a tiny island, explore mangroves or paddle along an idyllic beach; Sea Bird brings the option to Baja California's Sea of Cortez.
SUP the Amazon on Delfin Riverboats: Because of the calm, still waters of the Peruvian Amazon's Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, SUP can be enjoyed by all ages. The luxury 8-guest Delfin I carries four paddleboards, and the 28-guest Delfin II carries two.
"To be surrounded by local wildlife such as playful monkeys, graceful egrets and, with luck, curious pink river dolphins is a thrilling experience," says Delfin's Sales Director Ines Orihuela. “"Paddle boarding in the rain forest is a mix of zen and wild type of experience. Tranquil waters and isolation from the modern world will really let you connect with yourself and your loved one.”
SUP New Zealand & Tahiti: The 24-guest Island Passage sailing in New Zealand's Fiordland and Bay of Islands regions as well as Tahiti carries two paddleboards for more intimate exploration of tropical waters, remote motus and misty fiords. Another bonus to this ship? There's a heli pad on deck for flightseeing.
Today several magazines are devoted to this paddle sport; in 2008 the US Coast Guard classified SUP boards as vessels like canoes and kayaks. By 2009 it became the fastest growing part of “paddle sports” in North America. By 2012 World Series championship races were created and by 2013 SUP enjoyed the most first-time participants of any sport in the United States.

Among the inclusions in the per person rate, double, starting at $1,425 aredaily buffet breakfast and three-course lunch, drinks with meals, Dubrovnik sightseeing and scenic cable car ride, half day excursion of Ston with oyster farm visit and tasting, wine tasting at a traditional winery in Vis, Mljet National Park entrance fee, visitors' taxes and port fees, transfers from and to Split/Dubrovnik airports, daily cabin service, and Wi-Fi onboard. http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/dalmatian-coast-cruise

The itinerary hugs the coastlines of Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece, including a sail around most of the Peloponnese Peninsula. This National Geographic trip is from $12,210 per person, double. Sites well known to Homer and others known later to medieval worlds come to life in five-star luxury as historians and naturalists open windows on this classical world. The adventure begins or ends in Athens and Dubrovnik. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/under-sail-greece-to-the-dalmatian-coast

Released on Thursday, 07 April 2016 08:56
Select Departures of Tahitian Affair Cruise Discounted $1,350 When Booked by April 29, 2016 Through AdventureSmith Explorations
TAHOE CITY, CA, April 7, 2016– While January’s announcement that small ship expert AdventureSmith Explorations has added a new eight-day cruise aboard the 24-guest luxury yacht Island Passage through French Polynesia’s Leeward Islands created quite a buzz, a number of early season departures still have prime space availability. In answer to this, prospective travelers can take advantage of an unprecedented limited time offer.
Select May and June 2016 departures across of the world’s most romantic stretches of water on the new, all-inclusive Tahitian Affair cruise are discounted $1,350 per person when booked by April 29, 2016. This promotion is available on the May 22-29, May 29-June 5, June 5-12, June 26-July 3 departures, subject to availability.
The per person rate, (before the discount) starting at $3,875 for an eight-day cruise, includes on-board accommodation, meals, all non-alcoholic and most alcoholic beverages during the cruise, shore-excursions as per the itinerary, use of kayaks, tenders, snorkel and fishing equipment carried onboard, and an airport ferry transfer.
“Traditionally cruises on these waters are aboard much larger vessels accommodating from 120 guests and up,” said Todd Smith, AdventureSmith Explorations’ founder and president (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/). “In stark contrast, the new Tahitian Affair that begins and ends in Bora Bora offers unparalleled intimacy in a relaxing, lagoon-cruising style highly suited to this environment.” See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/tahitian-affair-small-ship-cruise-island-passage-bora-bora-french-polynesia
Island Passage cruises only three to four hours daily on average before laying anchor each evening. This translates to an unhurried pace and ample opportunity for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding at will from the motus or small reef islands that only a small vessel can access. Guests may also opt to swim with sting rays and sharks, or to embark on a fishing excursion. The Island Passage’s 7.2-meter aluminum fishing boat is equipped with rods, tackle and gear for line (rod/pole) or deep sea angling. The talented chef is always happy to prepare the fish that guests catch.
For additional fees, guests who are scuba-certified can arrange to dive off a dive boat that will pull up alongside Island Passage; and they can sightsee by helicopter as the vessel has a helipad for a six-seat helicopter.
When they can pull themselves out of the turquoise water, guests can tour village life on the islands of Tahaá, Raiatea and Huahine, visit a vanilla plantation, local markets and the Maeva Marae archaeological site. They may also enjoy being the audience for a local choir and learning how to crack coconuts.
While on board they mingle in the generously spaced dining and salon area and on the expansive aft deck. Oversize 175-square-foot staterooms and 195-square-foot and 235-square-foot suites all have ocean views and are appointed with fine linens, French soaps and toiletries, and fresh flowers.
Menus include local seafood and the best New Zealand organic lamb and Santo beef, fresh produce selected from local farmer's markets and award-winning cheeses, all presented with a strong European flair. The onboard wine cellar brims with award-winning wines and is frequently updated with new releases plus the Island Passage's revolving collection that is personally selected from the crew's favorite boutique vineyards.

M/V Expedition Is Favorite for Antarctica Cruises: Rare Cabin Space Still Available for 2016-2017 Reports AdventureSmith Explorations
Released on Thursday, 24 March 2016 09:49
TAHOE CITY, CA, March 24, 2016– A favorite vessel among expedition small ship cruisers is the 132-guest M/V Expedition that plies southern polar waters. Small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations reports rare remaining cabin space (including for double, triple and quadruple occupancy) for Antarctica cruises in the 2016-2017 season, including the favorite months of December through March.
Guests favor this vessel because it’s the fastest ship in polar waters since receiving a $10 million engine overhaul. Logging in at 17 knots means less time crossing Drake Passage and more time exploring Antarctica. They also appreciate a large, dedicated mudroom that keeps their outdoor gear organized and dry, including the high-quality waterproof expedition parkas provided on every sailing. Also M/VExpedition cabins are among the most spacious in the industry, starting at 160 square feet. A Category 5 cabin provides a luxurious 320 square feet and steam showers. All these factors add up to an incredible value aboard the Expedition, especially with a current special offer saving up to 10% on all three Antarctica itineraries aboard the Expedition for the 2016-17 season, if booked by March 31, 2016.
Aboard the Expedition, guests are encouraged to get out on hiking and zodiac expeditions that are included in the rate and to get into the spirit of kayaking ($999) and camping ($349) add-ons. This vessel offers a 10-1 passenger-to-guide ratio aboard zodiacs, and its guides are titled CEOs, Chief Experience Officers. This means their knowledge and interaction with passengers are at the forefront of the company ethos.
Following are the Antarctic programs aboard M/V Expedition that AdventureSmith has rare cabin space available on high-demand departures, but cabins are selling fast. On all these routes passengers will witnesssome of the planet's most impressive wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Colonies of gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins; Weddell, crab eater and leopard seals; and orca, humpback and minke whales in the cold Antarctic waters are key players in this theater.
Antarctic Peninsula Aboard Expedition (also known as Antarctica Classic) is an 11-day journey from $5,699 per person, double. This and a 13-day Antarctica Extended Expedition Cruise focus on the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. Departures in 2016 are Nov. 12-24, Dec. 12-22, and in 2017 Jan. 2-12, Jan. 30-Feb. 9, Mar. 4-14 and Mar. 13-23.
Quest for the Antarctic Circle is a 14-day journey from $9,799 per person double. This itinerary sets off southward along the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, passing colossal icebergs and countless colonies of penguins while attempting to cross the polar circle. 2016 departure is Dec. 21-Jan. 3 and in 2017 Feb. 8-21, and Feb. 20-Mar. 5.
Spirit of Shackleton aboard Expedition is an incredible 21-day journey from $11,899 to the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, often called “the Galapagos of the poles.” A true wildlife adventure in the world's most remote wilderness! 2016 departure is Nov. 23-Dec. 13 and in 2017 Jan. 11-31.
Why book now? Smaller ships are slowly being replaced by larger expedition vessels in Antarctica. As ship sizes increase it becomes harder to provide as intimate an experience with meaningful time ashore for all guests, said Todd Smith, founder and director of AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/), who has positioned his team as the international experts in cruising Antarctic waters by small ship.
“Antarctica has been ‘discovered’ by mainstream travelers and is on many ‘must-do’ vacation lists,” said Smith. “The short season matched with limited departures aboard small ships mean most cruises sail at full capacity. We suggest that travelers book nine to 12 months in advance for the best selection of cruises, cabins and activities. This also helps ensure the best price.”
In addition to its trademark personalized customer service, AdventureSmith has reissued its in-depth Antarctica Cruise Guide to help travelers decide what kind of polar experience and style of ship to book. Also on the AdventureSmith blog are primers on the differences between Antarctic and Arctic polar expeditions and how to best choose an Antarctic cruise operator.
Small Ship Cruising with Families - Eight Reasons Why It’s the Perfect All-Ages Vacation
Released on Tuesday, 15 March 2016 09:12
TAHOE CITY, CA, March 15, 2015– Taking the children on a small ship expedition cruise to an exotic destination is a no brainer when it comes to a one-size-fits-all family vacation. So explains cruise expert Todd Smith, founder of AdventureSmith Explorations and speaker at the upcoming TMS Family Travel Summit in South Walton, FL.
“Our emphasis on small ship expedition cruises and land-based wilderness adventures aims to bring families of all ages together while experiencing the world’s most spectacular regions in security and comfort. We use the firsthand experience of traveling with our own children, parents and grandparents to help clients choose the right itinerary and ship for today’s family,” Smith explains.
Smith points out that different vessels (ranging in average size from 12 to 100 passengers) and off-ship focus can shape the overall cruise experience. It is important to know what amenities are offered, what daily activity options there are, what the cabins are like and if kid-friendly meals are served…just for starters. That’s where the sage advice and insider’s expertise of a helpful consultant comes into play.
As to why a small ship cruise? Smith and his team of cruise experts came up with these eight reasons why families and small ship cruising are a perfect match:
1. Safety. Small ships offer a contained, controlled environment, allowing families to travel to remote wilderness locations and into new cultures comfortably and safely. Small ships allow guests to paddle in front of a glacier, walk a remote beach with no other footsteps, encounter wildlife and visit isolated villages—experiences that can prove difficult for families to achieve on their own—in a secure, efficient and child-friendly way.
2. Action. Off-vessel activities such as hiking, kayaking and snorkeling offer a chance to get away from the ship to experience nature and culture up close. Soft adventure options allow the whole family to experience the wilderness together on excursions like guided paddle trips through mangrove swamps and skiff tours looking for wildlife. It’s important to note that off-ship activities are usually included in the cruise tariff.
3. Choice. One of the best features of a small ship cruise is the ability for each guest to choose adventures based on ability levels. For example, on a recent cruise in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, an AdventureSmith traveler was able to snorkel with her brother at a sea lion rookery, while her father took a guided skiff tour in the same area, photographing and waving to her while she was in in the water. Hikes are often offered at varying distances and terrain difficulties, and there’s always a choice for quiet time on board.
4. Education. Naturalist guides are trained to work with younger travelers and keep kids excited, engaged and learning about wildlife, conservation and sustainability. Shared family experiences on board and off instill a lifelong love of nature and travel, while creating memories that will last families a lifetime.
5. Connection—and Disconnection! Televisions, movies and video games take a backseat to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. On most small ships, a family usually disconnects from devices and reconnects with each other and nature. Think no cable TV (DVDs are often available for movie-watching in cabins), and often no cell service and WiFi due to cruising in remote wilderness regions.
6. Camaraderie. While every day is a new adventure on a small ship cruise, the crew and guides are constants who encourage conversations with them and other passengers. The result? Everyone comes away with new friends.
7. Consistency. As accommodations are the same each day and night, children will rest well without the hassles of packing and unpacking. Meals are intimate and many diets and preferences can be accommodated with prior notice. Because kids have special tastes, menus are often arranged to satisfy their appetites and meal times.
8. Custom. Think about the fun when traveling with other families. Some small ship cruises have family-designated departures. This means that likeminded families with children of similar ages enjoy such added-value programs as crafts, pizza and movie nights and more. Or large families may customize their own cruise by chartering an entire ship. AdventureSmith offers charter options with as few as eight guests.
AdventureSmith’s Todd Smith is a testament to all these points, as he has traveled extensively with his wife and two young boys around the world, and chartered a Galapagos yacht specifically for family travel. Read about his Galapagos family charter and how/why he chose the yacht he did, and more details about family travel with AdventureSmith.
As for suggested family cruises, Smith and his team have these to consider:
-Ecuador: Eclipse Galapagos Cruises – with designated family departure dates.
-Pacific Northwest: Northern Passages and Glacier Bay – an active wilderness cruise with multisport activities that offer a variety of levels and options for entire family.
-Central America: Costa Rica & the Panama Canal - explore the region with top guides, special rates for children. The season is wintertime; November through March.
For information on all of AdventureSmith’s small ship cruises, itineraries, availability and 2016-2017 reservations, telephone 800-728-2875 toll-free or visit www.adventuresmithexplorations.com.
Media Note: Todd Smith is a guest speaker on small ship cruising at the TMS Family Travel Summit in Florida on April 17-19. The summit combines an invited 35 travel editors, publishers and social media marketers with executives from various facets of the travel industry, to hear and discuss the latest travel research. In his panel, Smith plans to address the trend of how Millennials are continuing to travel once they have kids, and how their immersive travel style is changing the way families travel today.
Polar Bears and Northern Lights Are Tip of Iceberg on Arctic Circle Cruises, Explains AdventureSmith Explorations
Released on Wednesday, 17 February 2016 16:32
TAHOE CITY, CA, Feb. 17, 2016– The Arctic is on many bucket lists thanks to polar bears and Northern Lights. But what else may travelers anticipate on a cruise in the Arctic Circle? And what questions should they ask when booking a cruise on the Arctic Ocean, the world’s smallest and shallowest ocean that is fringed by eight countries?
Todd Smith, small ship cruise expert and founder of AdventureSmith Explorations, (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/) discusses the variables of itineraries and small ships plying this region, home to four million people living in the shadow of Viking conquests and explorers. His sage advice, “How to Choose Your Arctic Cruise”, shares what he calls “an incredible range of conditions” in the May through September Arctic summer. These conditions help to determine itineraries and therefore passenger experiences.
For example, early season (late May through early July) polar bears on ice floes are prevalent. In July and August ice is more disbursed, allowing land access and explorations of nutrient-rich waters favored by whales. September nights bring the magnificent aurora borealis.
The experiences guests seek may also determine the ship they choose. AdventureSmith Explorations' fleet of expedition ships cruising to the Arctic carry 78 to 148 guests and are specially outfitted to travel in polar waters. They are all fairly similar in terms of ice class and amenities. For more intimate explorations, this company also recommends a fleet of vessels carrying just 16 to 20 guests that offer the same close-up exploration as larger expedition ships but also provide access to shallow harbors and small islands.
The length of a cruise and the price also come into play, said Smith. Following is a handful of specials for 2016 Arctic cruises.
The 11-day Home of Vikings cruise is aboard the 116-guest Sea Spirit. The per person double rate is from $4,995; however for bookings on a May 20, 2016, departure two guests sharing the same cabin may travel for the price of one. This specific tour through fjords in the High Arctic begins in Iceland and explores South and West Greenland in search of whales and other arctic wildlife. Guests explore the town of Nanortalik at the mouth of beautiful Tasermiut Fjord surrounded by steep mountains that flank an intricate fjord system. They soak in geothermal waters watching the icebergs pass by in Uunartoq. And they visit the enchanting West Greenlandic tiny settlements of Qaqortoq, Hvalsey Qassiarsuk. Paamiut, Nuuk, Itteliq and Sisimiut to discover Viking history and witness urban arctic living amongst the colorful homes. Sea kayaking along this rugged coastline is a favorite pastime on this adventure.See: https://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/home-of-vikings-greenland-iceland-arctic-small-ship-expedition
Polar guests will save up to 25 percent with an Early Booking Discount for designated Arctic cruises in 2016; up to 25 percent on premium cabins and 15 percent on non-premium cabins aboard select Sea Adventurer and Ocean Nova 2016 departures booked by April 15, 2016. Triple and Quad cabins are excluded. This discount cannot be combined with other offers and is subject to availability. Excluded are the following departures: June 12 Spitsbergen Explorer, July 4 Spitsbergen Circumnavigation and August 15 Three Arctic Islands. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/special-offers?dest=1187
Guests save 15 percent on AdventureSmith’s Realm of the Polar Bear on departures between June 13 and Aug. 10, 2016 if booked by March 1, 2016. See: http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/realm-of-the-polar-bear

I find it fascinating that some members of the media repeat the same tired trope that Apple might do well to move Macs to ARM from Intel. The core logic is that Apple has sold hundreds of millions of mobile gadgets using those chips in the form of their A-series processors. They are getting faster and faster, and thus may soon be near as capable as low-end Intel processors.
Did I say they were a lot cheaper?
So imagine paying maybe $100 less for a MacBook Air, and maybe the idea makes sense from a customer standpoint. But there are a whole lot of reasons why, even if Apple could scale up the performance of one of their chips to match the capabilities of what Intel offers, it just doesn’t make sense. And don’t forget the issue the media rarely mentions, which is how to deal with tens of thousands of Mac apps optimized for Intel processors. And yes I know about the possibilities of emulation.
In any case, on this week’s episode of the The Tech Night Owl LIVE, cutting-edge commentator and investigative journalist Daniel Eran Dilger, of Roughly Drafted Magazine and AppleInsider, offered a solid reality check for those who believe Apple plans to move Macs from Intel to ARM in the near future. He also discussed the ongoing problems facing Google and Microsoft in delivering relevant products that actually make a profit. The discussion began with Daniel’s tale of how he first began to cover Apple, and the problems he found with press coverage about the company.
You also heard from commentator John Martellaro, Senior Editor, Analysis & Reviews for The Mac Observer and a columnist for The Street, whose bill of fare this week included a discussion of why some Mac experts feel OS X quality is declining, John’s ongoing search for the right high-resolution display for his Mac Pro, and why the next-generation TV project from Apple remains on hold.
While Apple works on what to do next with Apple TV, the current product, still available, has almost become yesterday’s news. It’s not that the competitors from Roku, Amazon and Google are necessarily better. In most respects they’re not. But they are all variations on a similar theme, and it’s time for something way better to break through. So we’ll see what new gear Apple will introduce this year aside from an Apple Watch, and the expected refreshes of iPhones, iPads and Macs.
On this week’s episode of our other radio show, The Paracast: Gene and Chris introduce David Marler, author of “Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation,” will be our guest next week. His book has received great reviews, including a Five-Star review from none other than Ray Stanford. This discussion begins with David, who is certified in hypnotherapy, discussing UFO abductions and the alarm bells that go off in studying some of these cases. He’ll also cover his sharp focus on the consistent presence of triangular UFOs and how they might relate to the ongoing reports of strange craft in the sky.

MICROSOFT HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON VAPORWARE
Slightly ahead of schedule, Microsoft this week released a new public or technical preview of Windows 10. This is supposedly a better, more reliable version of the OS beta that has already been available, so I jumped at the chance to see what Microsoft hopes will push the bad memories of Windows 8 to the distant past.
Except that Microsoft still won’t give up on the user interface formerly known as Metro. Once something gets under their skin at Microsoft, it’s really hard to let it go. Quite often, they just change the name, which is how MSN became Live Search which became Bing. I won’t get into the various names for Windows Phone, but it almost seems that changing identities, with a few feature refinements, is sometimes their only solution for failed products.
These days, what used to be called Windows Phone is now just Windows, same as the desktop operating system. Indeed, the code base is shared too, which creates the curious situation of a desktop app possibly working on a mobile phone or a tablet. But if the app is universal, a term being bandied about by the media, doesn’t that mean that mobile apps will be clogged with useless code? How does that work on your Lumia smartphone where space is at a premium?
In any case, I was far more interested in seeing what the new Windows 10 release was like in light of last week’s Microsoft hypefest. For now, I’ll avoid the HoloLens, an ugly Google Glass alternative that puts a somewhat different if not terribly compelling spin on needless augmented reality hardware. If you must read the juicy details, I’m happy to pass you on to Daniel Eran Dilger’s AppleInsider article on the subject. For me, it was just a desperate attempt to find something relevant to talk about, since there’s not much juicy stuff in Windows 10.
Now the key thing about Windows 10, particularly for disgusted users of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, is the fact that it’ll be a free upgrade for the first year; Windows 7 users are also eligible, but why leave Windows XP users in the dust? After that, you wonder whether people who avoided the initial release will want to pay something, and how much that something might be. Or perhaps Microsoft, having jumped into the free OS upgrade game, will find themselves trapped in quicksand and unable to extricate themselves.
But I assume Windows OEMS who bundle the OS with new PC hardware will pay the usual prices, well unless their hardware has a tiny screen or a very cheap price. Putting the golden goose out of its misery doesn’t seem a very smart marketing approach, but the quarterly financials after Windows 10 arrives will tell the tale.
So I went ahead and installed the latest public preview on a brand new Parallels Desktop virtual machine. Unfortunately, Parallels has an apparent bug to confront. You see, to optimize performance in the virtual environment, Parallels installs a set of components, tools, which map core features, such as input devices, and graphics, to the Mac. Otherwise, the virtual performance can be pathetic.
Only thing is that, at every restart, Parallels would dutifully attempt to install Parallels Tools anew. At the end of the installation process, I was invited to restart, but after the restart, the same installation loop persisted. Frustrating, but I expect this is something Parallels will deal with once they are aware of the problem. Remember, that Windows 10 Build 9926 just arrived.
I finally postponed the restart and decided to look around to check the landscape.
I was pleased to encounter a fairly normal Windows desktop. It appears that tablets, or convertible note-books in touchscreen mode, will get an interface that more closely resembles the Metro look and feel complete with the sometimes live tiles. But that can only be confusing to customers who expect consistency and not just more Microsoft-bred confusion.
One minor change I caught right away was renamingPC Settings to Settings, which opens more quickly in a smaller window with clearly labeled configuration categories. Now when I visited Updates and recovery for the very first time, I discovered that, a day after the newest build appeared, there were already updates awaiting me.
Upon restart, I was reminded yet again that each restart affords you the chance to start with the Technical Preview or Rollback, which presents your previous OS, if one is available. In my case, I suppose it would be a previous Technical Preview, since I installed that OS fresh. To me, it’s just another example of the braindead lack of logic in things from Microsoft.
But I won’t dwell on the traditional foolishness of having a shut down and restart function in a menu called Start. This is, after all, Microsoft. And don’t get me started about that irritating procession of annoying tones that indicate that something or other loaded at startup, or that a status message awaited me.
Performing simple steps, such as opening Windows 10 Mail for the first time, produced roadblocks. When I was asked to specify if I have a Microsoft account — and I do for Office 365 — I had to make it send me a verification email to confirm I was who I said I was. Just entering my username and password was insufficient for Microsoft.
However, if I am configuring Mail on a brand new PC for the first time, how do I check the email confirmation number if Mail is not yet configured? Do I have to keep another PC at hand, or a smartphone — or a Mac? In this case, I got the confirmation via Apple Mail. It’s clear Microsoft didn’t sweat the details.
But Windows Mail really isn’t a terribly useful app. Unlike Apple Mail — which has known problems — the Windows counterpart is so bare bones to make it almost clumsy. Is this Microsoft talking down to consumers? I even had to click Folders in the sidebar to see anything but the Inbox, Drafts and Sent. This is the sort of awkward approach that makes something that should be second nature more complicated. Overall, the interface has the same cartoon-inspired theme as the former Metro interface, which only makes it less useful. Or maybe entry-level users will be happy to see emptiness, or at least that’s what Microsoft’s system team concluded. So I wasn’t surprised to discover that the mail handling icons are hidden until you click a disclosure ellipse at the bottom left of the email window.
Others have remarked that it’s so bereft of important email features that you’ll want to download something useful early on. In this case, I expect Microsoft hopes to quickly upgrade you to an Office 365 subscription so you can install a genuine copy of Outlook. To be sure, I was surely tempted, but I expect this bait and switch approach is another way to squeeze money out of customers who didn’t pay for Windows 10. So perhaps Microsoft should set up an in-app purchase link upon first launch so you can get the misery over with and buy or subscribe to download what you really need to be productive.
To be fair, this is a rough and early preview. The Cortana virtual assistant, for example, is barely functional. Overall, some features are either due later on in the year, or poorly implemented. Six or eight months ahead of when Windows 10 is expected to be finalized, Microsoft has loads of work to do in order to make it a fully functional OS. In contrast, the first developer preview of OS X Yosemite appeared four months before the final release, but most functions were actually present and accounted for, and by and large they worked.
True, Yosemite hasn’t had such a pleasant rollout. There are still bugs reported by many users, and the ratings indicate it hasn’t quite gotten the love at the Mac App Store. Apple is reportedly laboring away at the second maintenance update, to be known as OS X 10.10.2. So maybe the most significant remaining glitches will soon be history. A lot can be said about Apple rushing out major OS upgrades for the Mac and mobile gear that remain rough around the edges.
When it comes to Microsoft, I honestly don’t know why it’s so raw. The first Windows 10 Technical Preview actually arrived last October. At least you’ll be able to upgrade to the latest public beta and, in fact, to the final release according to Microsoft. Yes, improvements have been made, and performance on my iMac with its new SSD drive seemed snappy enough. I won’t blame the recurrent Parallels Tools installations on Microsoft; that’s for Parallels to fix.
Certainly, Microsoft is under the gun here. They seem less and less relevant at a time where Apple and Google own the online world. With HoloLens, Microsoft also seems to be at its old tricks once again in presenting an unfinished product, however flawed, with the promise that it’ll be released eventually. But Microsoft has long been noted for announcing products that never or rarely see the light of day. When you define vaporware, it’s a synonym for Microsoft.
Some of the features promised for Windows 10 aren’t available either, and not all of them have been revealed. Or at least that’s what Microsoft claims, but holding off on answers also gives the company an escape route in case some of these alleged features aren’t ready by the time Windows 10 is due to be finalized. Nonetheless, things should get better, and maybe the oversimplified Mail interface will be somehow fleshed out in a meaningful way. But it’s also possible that it won’t really get much better after all. Consider the experience with public previews for Windows 8, and don’t forget Windows Vista.
As it stands, it’s good to know that someone who uses a traditional desktop PC will see the desktop by default, and that the Start menu and Settings functions are more sensibly designed. Is that, and cribbing a few OS X features, such as Spaces and Notification Center, sufficient to attract upgrades from consumers and businesses who wouldn’t touch Windows 8/8.1 with a ten-foot pole? That remains to be seen.

One Response to “Newsletter Issue #791”
DaveD says:
Vaporware is ingrained in Microsoft’s DNA. A leader once said, “Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Me think HoloLens will be a super-sized 3D glasses.
For those other poor tech pundits who now can get a break from writing about Apple to about the future of Microsoft giving away their precious OS. I always felt that Microsoft should have given away Windows 7 to the Vista users as a mea culpa. Good to see this will be so for “8” users and surprised that “7” users are to be included.

Apple Cameras Comparision iPhone 8 iPhone X latest Pricing Review Specs
iPhone X vs. iPhone 8: Is it worth the extra money?
iPhone X is the new Apple Phone with Late "Steve Jobs" design and is the future of the smartphone, and it’s set to revolutionize the way we use mobile devices all over again with features like Face ID and wireless charging. It’s also incredibly good-looking, and insanely powerful thanks to Apple’s A11 Bionic chip.
It’s impossible to not be impressed by iPhone X. It’s spectacular new design, made from super-strong glass and surgical-grade stainless steel, combined with innovative new features are the perfect way to celebrate the iPhone’s tenth anniversary.
Sure, other phones have had edge-to-edge displays and facial recognition before, but yet again, Apple has perfected them. Its Super Retina display offers the best color accuracy in the industry, while Face ID is more advanced and more secure than any of its rivals.
But iPhone 8 is just the rip of iPhone 7 with newer chip and glass back with improved cameras and the rest as they say it's all same and in accordance to your money.
So which one is more deserving of your hard-earned cash? Here’s how they compare.
iPhone X vs. iPhone 8
Displays:
By far the biggest difference between iPhone X and iPhone 8 are their displays. While the more affordable option retains the Retina HD display we’re all familiar with in 4.7- and 5.5-inch sizes — albeit with some improvements — iPhone X sports a jaw-dropping Super Retina display.
It’s the first thing you’ll notice. It takes up almost all of the space available on the front of the phone, leaving only a tiny area for the front-facing True Depth camera, speaker, and Face ID sensors. It’s sharper and more vibrant than previous iPhone displays, with a 458 ppi.
The Super Retina display is also more efficient because it’s OLED as opposed to LCD. That means that instead of having a dedicated backlight that must be lit at all times, it can light individual pixels only when they need to be lit.
When viewing dark images or using dark wallpapers, then, some pixels won’t light up at all. This means the Super Retina display saps less battery power, and gives you more usage in between charges over time.
iPhone X sports a stunning Super Retina display. Photo: AppleIt also supports true HDR, with an impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. In comparison, iPhone 8 has a 1,400:1 contrast ratio, though it matches iPhone X’s 625 cd/m2 max brightness and wide color (P3) gamut.
Both displays offer True Tone technology, adopted from iPad Pro, which automatically adjusts color temperature based on ambient light to make content more comfortable to look at.
The Super Retina display looks a lot better, and offers more space in a similarly compact footprint. But it has its downsides.By extending iPhone X’s display to its edges, Apple had to do away with the physical Home button — and Touch ID. Face ID is there to make up for it, and it looks magnificent, but those who would prefer a fingerprint scanner will have to stick with Retina HD.
When it comes to performance, iPhone X and iPhone 8 look similar on paper. Both are powered by Apple’s new A11 Bionic chip, with a CPU that’s up to 70 percent faster than A10 Fusion’s, and a three-core GPU that’s up to 30 percent faster.That means greater games, even better augmented reality, and a smoother, snappier experience overall.
iPhone 8 is just as powerful as iPhone X. Photo: Apple The A11 chip does more inside an iPhone X, powering a neural engine for Face ID that’s capable of 600 billion operations per second, and HDR video playback. But for everything else, you can expect a similar experience on both devices.
There is another exception, however. Though that A11 chip, with its four low-power cores, should improve battery life on both devices, iPhone X has the edge here, presumably thanks to a bigger battery. Apple says you’ll get two hours more use than on iPhone 8.
Both iPhone X and iPhone 8 have a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera with f/1.8 aperture. When it comes to standard, still images and video recording, you can expect to get the same results from both devices.You’ll also get the same great portrait shots from iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus, which both combine that sensor with a secondary 12-megapixel telephoto lens. It allows for optical zoom and a new feature called Portrait Lighting, which adjusts light to highlight your subject.Both devices are capable of shooting super-sharp 4K video at 60 frames-per-second, and 1080p video at 240 fps for slower slo-mo.
iPhone X can take Portrait mode selfies.Photo: AppleAgain, however, there are some significant differences. Both rear cameras have optical image stabilization in iPhone X, whereas only the primary sensor has this feature in iPhone 8 Plus. But the biggest difference is around front.iPhone 8 has a 7-megapixel FaceTime HD camera with an f/2.2 aperture that will take the same great shots you expect from an iPhone. iPhone X, on the other hand, boasts a new TrueDepth camera that can shoot Portrait mode and Portrait Lighting selfies.This also allows for a new feature called Animoji. These are 3D emoji characters that come to life. You can customize them with your own voice and facial expressions and send them to friends via iMessage. There are a dozen to choose from initially, with more to come.
We’ve already touched upon Face ID, but it’s worth looking at in more detail. In the past, facial recognition has been labeled a gimmick, and on other devices, it’s slow, unreliable, and unsecure. That’s not the case on iPhone X.Apple is billing Face ID as its strongest security yet. It says there’s a 1 in 1,000,000 chance that a random person could unlock your device with their face. In comparison, there’s a 1 in 50,000 chance that a random person could unlock a device with Touch ID.
Face ID is also incredibly fast, and thanks to clever sensors, it works even when you’re wearing glasses, hats, or in the dark. It also adapts to changes in your appearance over time using an incredible neural engine. Face ID can be used for all the same things Touch ID would be used for — unlocking, authorizing App Store purchases, and Apple Pay — and unlike fingerprint scanners, it can be used even when your phone is wet.It might take some getting used to, but there’s no doubt that Face ID is the future of smartphone security.
Both iPhone X and iPhone 8 run iOS 11, with more or less exactly the same features.Of course, the operating system has been designed to take advantage of the larger display and new hardware on iPhone X, and adapted for life without a Home button — but the software experience is almost identical on both devices. With that said, don’t base your buying decision on the differences in software. If you can live without all the other things iPhone X offers, these differences alone aren’t enough to warrant its higher price tag.
iPhone X is better than iPhone 8. There are no two ways about it. It delivers the best of everything Apple has to offer right now, and iPhone 8 already feels outdated in comparison. If you want the best possible iPhone experience, you’ll want the more expensive model. It’s absolutely worth the wait — and the extra cash. You simply won’t find a better smartphone if you’re an iOS user. If you don’t need the larger display and all the new features, iPhone 8 isn’t a completely terrible purchase. But when iPhone 7 prices plummet in the coming months, you’ll get a very similar experience for a lot less.

N. Korea vows 'merciless' war against US
Saturday, February 28, 2015 05:00 Email Print
This handout photo released by South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff on February 4, 2013 shows South Korean and US warships during a joint naval exercise in the East Sea
North Korea vowed to wage a "merciless, sacred war" against the United States on Thursday, days before the launch of annual joint South Korea-US military exercises that have incensed Pyongyang.
"Nuclear weapons are not a monopoly of the US," the ruling party's official newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, warned in an editorial carried by the state KCNA news agency.
"The US is seriously mistaken if it thinks its mainland is safe," the editorial added.
North Korea "will wage a merciless sacred war against the US now that the latter has chosen confrontation", the Rodong Sinmun said.
North Korea regularly ramps up the bellicose rhetoric before the start of the annual joint military exercises that always see a sharp surge in tensions on the divided peninsula.
Seoul and Washington insist they are defensive in nature, but they are condemned by Pyongyang as provocative rehearsals for invasion.
North Korea had offered a moratorium on nuclear testing if this year's joint drills were cancelled -- a proposal rejected by Washington as an "implicit threat" to carry out a fourth nuclear test.
The editorial came as South Korea and the United States conducted a joint naval drill Friday, involving 10 South Korean warships and a US Aegis destroyer.
The drill was a prelude to the eight-week Foal Eagle exercise which kicks off Monday and involves air, ground and naval field training, with around 200,000 Korean and 3,700 US troops.
A week-long, largely computer-simulated joint drill, Key Resolve, also gets underway Monday.
North Korea has made threats against the US mainland before, although it has never demonstrated a missile strike capability of that range.
Although its nuclear program remains shrouded in uncertainty, Pyongyang is currently believed to have a stockpile of some 10 to 16 nuclear weapons fashioned from either plutonium or weapons-grade uranium.
A new research report by US experts published this week estimated that North Korea could be on track to have an arsenal of 100 nuclear weapons by 2020.

who is going to grow the fastest, probably india. out of that affect the global economy? doesn't it have a big impact? india doesn't have the same weight as china does. how does this affect the fed's decision? the rest of the world has relatively small weight in terms of the u.s.. it is a downside risk for the fed. if we are in an environment where they are and should -- where they are undershooting their target, maybe they want to stable and hold. the direct effects on what is happening in this region are actually pretty small. if you go back to the asian financial crisis 15 years ago, understand things have changed. there were some economies that were in deep recession, not depression at the time. if you look at gdp growth in that state it didn't budge. angie: thank you so much for joining us today. a global economist for wells fargo securities. coming up next china's president will be given the red carpet

joins us from new york. we have been talking about this from the past couple of quarters. you noted that in fact, this downward sentiment on china is overblown. do you see that for the third quarter as well? guest: we do. well seen third-quarter slow down but the reality is there is no crisis. no collapse. back in august when people look at what was going on in china, there was fear this was it. the hard landing. at the at our data in second quarter as seeing a long-term slowdown that will not stop anytime soon. crisis pretty relatively unremarkable quarter of slowing growth. and if dispel some myths here. if you look at manufacturing data that have come out, ppi even, more than 40 months of street declines. all of this tells us that things are slowing down in china.
why is this particularly a semi-false paradigm? leland miller: manufacturing is not the microcosm economy. it is a sector in the economy. an important one but not the entire economy. it seemsle always do is check them a fragile pmi and look at industrial output and if the numbers are bad, as they think china is in bad shape. we have a mixed picture. services did relatively well. manufacturing did less so. other services, mediocre. a mild slowdown but not this all out collapse. angie: ok, we are starting to mobyfrom people like mark who said third-quarter gdp should be better than what official figures tell us. we as a market, as a whole, since that's right now?
people werer: scared to death of through august and september and thought it was impossible a good story coming out. gdp is a political number, not an economic number. the gdp number around 70%. and if people expectations off of that which is economists doing a guessing game. whether we beat expectations on a political number is really just a game markets like to play. not a lot of logic. weekendave we not seen exports -- weakened exports here? leland miller: sure, they have been weak for a long time. people said the chinese are figuring out exports are getting hit and trying to devalue the currency to ignite exports. a feature the chinese economy going forward, and will send us in our data, exports are slowing
it will continue a not a major growth driver. trying to push domestic consumption. it is part of the overall slow down. what they are trying to do is ignite domestic consumption in helpful ways. angie: ok, a lot of people point to the services sector and it is growing. people saying it is lifting up the chinese economy from the heart of lending. the thing is, don't people make less money in services than if they had jobs in manufacturing? leland miller: it depends. you have all kinds of services that make money across the spectrum. the point here's what you look at the quarter on quarter data, you see a slow down. do you see the major a bottom falling out of the economy that people thought you would see? you do not. year on your data, actually some improvement and definitely a lot of stability. this a rather unremarkable quarter of slowing growth. not something to write home
about but not ship of fear and the home -- heart of others. angie: what does this set out for us? will we see more stimulus and will it work? leland miller: monetary stimulus is pushing. you look at a rates. rates have been dropping over the last 2 quarters. assess and capitals are down. you will not be the stimulate back to health with monetary policy. policy try more fiscal and to some degree it should work. it is uncharted territory. what they are trying to building is a dip in the third quarter. the narrative. if you see recover in the coming months, people will look the other direction a get to optimistic it will not sit down a sick about that stimulus will not solve the problem the chinese economy has announced. angie: leland miller, president china's beige book. and myth buster.

a curious situation given the fact that china has been buying at gang buster paces over the past three years to limit gains in the currency. the scenario is different now. china is still the biggest foreign creditor, $1.4 trillion in holdings. americans at 1.6 billion, the chinese have reduced their holdings by about $200 billion. as i said, one dollar trillion now is held by domestic u.s. funds. it comes of course as we await the fed interest rate moves and as china works to counter problems at home. they need that money to deal with their own economic challenges. a very curious reversal here. these big purchases by china in recent years have helped to keep a lid on u.s. financing. for all the politics involved, is still a very real impact to both sides they can be grateful to the other.
>> so, there is domestic manned, but what is driving the chinese decision to sell? >> they no longer necessarily need to keep a lid on the currency limit gains. china dealing with its own slow down as we talk about that each and every day. china needs to raise money to support their own markets. let's not forget the dramatic market pullback that we saw in shanghai that rippled through hong kong in the world. the chinese spend cash to basically shore up the domestic market and the programs that they are putting into the economy. if this continues it will be the first time the china has pulled back on an annual basis from buying u.s. treasury's. angie: thanks for that. the us really a treasury surging this morning as they respond to the plan to purchase the u.s. in u.k. premium wine assets, up close to 14%. 13.5 to be exact. paul allen is taking a look at it for us right now.
backed strongly here? >> they sure are. trading at a four-year high, a very impressive performance indeed. as you mentioned they went into a trading hold for this deal to buy their premium u.s. and u.k. assets. shareholders at the time were going to be offered to shares at every 15 that they held $5.60, a 15% discount on the last close. shares are now at $7.33. probably a few shareholders having champagne with her breakfast this morning. how sustainable is this? how long will this kind of game last? i guess we have to wait for earnings that will be out in a few months, then we will get a close look at the price to earnings ratio to get a better idea of what the fair value is now for treasury lines. broadly this is all part of the and it is an area where the
treasury has some pedigree. mostakers of australia's famous wine and had the vintage released in shanghai last week, launched for the first time outside australia. you won't get much change out of 800 australian dollars. certainly this all seems to be a vindication for the new ceo. >> all right, who says that there is a slowdown in china? thank you so much for that, paul. time for a look at some of the top corporate stories on the bloomberg terminal. amazon has file a lawsuit against over 1000 unidentified people that they said posted fake reviews on the website. the company said that the defaults were offered on ciber.com for as little as five dollars, tarnishing the brand. they previously sued several websites showing fake customer
reviews back in april. big blue is bowing to china on software security. says that they are giving access to some of the code as they seek to not link to cyber espionage. a new security law in china requires foreign technology companies to show software code to the government. beijing will not be getting a backdoor into their technology, they say. 2003ng microsoft agreed in to reveal some of the windows code to china. pepsico has been replaced as the title sponsor of the indian premier league cricket tournament. no details have been revealed about how much they are paying. pepsi had committed about $62 million as the title sponsor for the tournament. those were the top corporate headlines at this hour. sony has been switching
its focus from smart phones and television to gaming and streaming as they target the highest profit in nearly 20 years. the r&d unit may have innovative ways to boost the bottom line. -- number tech reporter was at the sony annual open house. i understand that you had an out of body experience thanks to technologies? what was that all about? was an interesting experience. i felt like my soul had somehow escaped from my body, watching myself from over the top. it was a very interesting experience. i could see myself from 300 and 60 degrees of different angles. it was very interesting to see how i move around the room. all of this was enabled by 3-d glasses. and motion sensors surrounding it.
it was definitely one of the eyeball catching experiences at the open house. it is located on a small building away from the main street away from where the headquarters are located, but they gathered a lot of academics and business people from around japan. it was a very interesting event. angie: cool factor is one thing, but how does sony expect or think they will make money out of all of this? >> well, csl was founded in 1988 and originally formed to tackle common problems that humans face, like poverty, environmental issues. nowadays, you know, they are reforming the company into a more profit-seeking company. closed the csl has
business as well. for example, they will be releasing a smartphone app coming next month in november that is actually from a new business creation, a process from within the lab. they will be releasing their own products and i think it is an interesting experiment. what does it do? it is taking advantage of the currently very popular live streaming and online video. basically when they broadcast, for example, you and i on this program, the basically the audience can stamp their own stickers to maybe cheer us up or throw candy at your something. it's a very cute, interesting at. i feel like it will offer more interaction with the audience in the host as well.
so, yes, they are coming to do more experience -- experiments in business as well. >> social media at a whole new level. thank you so much, grace, for giving us a peek into what the future may look like according to sony. coming up next, the chinese president prepares for his first state visit to the u.k.. take a look at his agenda when we return. ♪
angie: welcome back. you are watching "first up." new pressure over a multimillion dollar funding scandal with the seeking a no-confidence vote. at the same time they are prepared to present what they have called a difficult annual budget. yvonne is taking a look ahead for us. this issome say that
clearly designed to fail. this is the fourth last issue they will be discussing this week and this motion is pretty much facing obstacles in even getting heard, let alone being talked about. we have seen the opposition itself with a lot of infighting over the last couple of months, but it has gained some momentum from the premier, who publicly criticized colleagues of the prime minister to step down, but some say that it may still be able to weather the storm. this budget is set to raise handouts to the poor, many of them have a core support base for him. even within there is tension with the cabinet reef -- cabinet reshuffle from back in july. some saying that the opposition are saying that he has really failed to address how these funds that were tied to them ended up in his account. say that these
were all political donations that came from the middle east. angie: political entrenchment is one thing, but when you take a look at what foreign investors this political scandal, really, is really hurting sentiment. is there a quick resolution to this? yvonne: most analysts say that there is no quick fix to all of this. bonds, four point $6 billion have been wiped out in the third quarter. we have seen a rebound recently, but people say that this is very sentiment related and a lot of what is going down in the headlines affects the currency as well. some say that it may not be falling back as fast as it did at the end of september. there was a peek on the end of the 29th, but it was still consider the worst-performing currency in asia and with this slump in oil some say that the government there is dealing with a very difficult budget.
>> checking from the stories making headlines around the world right now, the taiwan ruling nationalist party confirmed that three months before the election the opposition will win. is the new contender, replacing the unpopular. he declined the nomination but stepped in trailing the pro-independence epp with 20 points. decisions from thailand capturing their country's general election, 600 people registered to vote, though there is a tiny -- that really is a tiny fraction of the estimated 2 million who live in thailand, many of them illegally. 8 that will be the biggest test so far in the move towards democracy and more openness. dozens of solar powered cars have hit the road in northern australia for 3000 call him

at his trip. here is our asia government reporter at large, david tweed, joining us now. this is a pretty big visit for the economy. seems to be lagging behind some others. david: one thing just stands out from what they have said there, the u.k. wants to be china's leading trading partner. well, it's not. it's not. the five biggest economies in the european union, britain has got the biggest trade deficit. when it comes to exports into china, only 5% goes to china, which does not compare to germany. looking at foreign direct investment, the money coming from the u.k. is come to the lopsided compared to the money coming back the other way. this really is a very big two-way story. britain absolutely wants to get more of china's investment, but at the same time china wants to have the prestige that comes
with the visit to london in the u.k.. >> we have already seen steps towards the u.k. seeking to the bridge rests this cap? we have seen the key nuclear deal but the chinese have said that there will be huge investments coming from china into the u.k.. they will be in telecommunications, energy dimensions. there could be autos or a whole range of different sectors. the other interesting thing on the itinerary is that xi jinping will be in london but he is also traveling north of manchester. see is about wanting to manchester, this northern leading city, getting more chinese investment because they are looking for china to help the u.k. economy. angie: how is the visit being sold in china? and let you asked. it is the same in beijing, i been talking to our reporters out there, front page they have
fully devoted to it. you would think that in the u.k. the public would be in a frenzy of anticipation waiting to see xi jinping. i mean, it's true, britain is rolling out the red carpet. he is staying at buckingham palace for four nights. they are really pulling out the stops in terms of wanting to show him how important he is. remember, when he met -- when david cameron met the dalai lama two years ago, britain was chill. what they are doing is bending over backwards to roll out the red carpet. this is an absolutely key economic relationship that has been recognized by the u.k. government. a most buzzed to visit with the clean, no doubt. david, thank you so much for outlining all of that for us. coming up next, cooking up a storm. one fast food chain in japan had a juicy quarter, when we return. ♪

tv Lou Dobbs Tonight FOX Business September 14, 2016 11:00pm-12:01am EDT
movement and throw the bums out. that's what donald trump has done. lou: thank you both. that's it for us tonight. tomorrow congressman marsha black vernon among our guests. plea you don't want to miss a moment of the show and you don't want to miss a moment lou dobbs, he's right here. [♪] lou: good evening. i'm lou dobbs. themes days are sweet for donald trump and bitter for hillary clinton. hillary clinton is suddenly beset by a health scare crisis and attempted cover-up. she has become a victim of her 3e7 -- ofher penchant for secree cumulative weight of it all is turning off voters. brand-new polls show donald trump leading hillary clinton in key battleground states. in nevada a monmouth survey show trump with a 2-point advantage.
in florida a cnn poll has trump leading by 3. in ohio two separate polls show trump with a 5-point lead in the critical battleground state. trump beats clinton 46-41. and he's ahead 44-39 in the bloomberg politics poll. to say ohio is important, critical or crucial is understatement. ohio is essential for trump because no republican has ever won the presidency without winning ohio. trump has moved into the lead there. that's why donald trump is holding a rally in canton, ohio at this very hour. you are looking at life pictures it's a big day and big night for the republican nominee. one of the people working hard to make sure donald trump is the next president of the united states is his campaign manager, kellyanne conway. she'll be joining us in just moments. we have a lot to discuss tonight
including trump revealing the results of his latest physical. we'll take up the republican nominee's health and go through the findings of his doctors and discuss his fitness for the most important job in the country. we'll have the details and analysis. hillary clinton continues to convalesce at home in chappaqua, new york. after she collapsed at the 9/11 ceremony, diagnosed we learned with pneumonia, she'll apparently nonetheless be returning to the campaign trail soon. her husband, the former president bill clinton doing his best to allay concerns about his wife's health. >> i just talked to her, she is feeling great and i think she'll be back out there tomorrow. it's a crazy time we live in when people think there is something unusual about getting the flu. last time i checked, millions of people were getting it every year. lou: flu is one thing and
pneumonia another. an increasing number of voters doubt hillary is healthy enough for the campaign and presidency. many doubt she would survive a full term in office if elected. the democratic nominee forced to follow trump's lead. she released medical records of her own. clinton's doctors said she is suffering from a mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia. the distinction is important because she is being criticized for hugging a young girl. her campaign said she could be back on the trail as soon as tomorrow. we'll take up the impact of hillary's health concerns and their impact on the race for president. former reagan political director ed rollins joins us. and jerry falwell * jr.
and sheriff joe arpaio. donald trump released his medical records today. he did so in a taped appearance on dr. oz *. the program set to air tomorrow. i have it right here. should i do it? i don't care. [applause] it's two letters. one is the report and the other is from lenox hill hospital. >> may i see them? those are all the tests that were just done last week. lou: audience members say they reveal trump to be in good health. >> he said he needs to lose 15-20 pounds. he's a healthy man, i think he would be a healthy president.
lou: we'll have to watch "dr. oz" have an uptick in his ratings. kellyanne conway, this has been quite a week or so for your candidate. and with the release of his medical records to dr. oz, things seem to be going his way.
then dr. oz commends donald trump's health situation. ribs him on his dietary choices. lou: we don't need to linker on the dietary choice issues. >> i did tell dr. oz said in trump looked very fit and i said he does that. but i think you are just seeing a lighthearted donald trump on the one hands. last night at the childcare speech where we were outside philadelphia, ivanka killed it with he her introduction of her father. she is amazing. he picks up so many baby hands. he's enjoying being with the people. but knows we are facing serious grave nice our nation's history.
he's talking about how to defeat radical terrorism. he's talking about how to crack down on illegal immigration fan stop 367 and he's talking childcare. lou: you know what i haven't heard in a long time, the word presidential. he is exuding a presidential demeanor and attitude it's been weeks since i heard anyone question that capacity and characteristic in his candidacy. >> the way you disprove a
republicans normally do. so you are exactly right. the way you show people you are presidential is by being presidential. lou: being presidential, president obama decided to campaign for a third term, perhaps not his in person, but certainly his in the at least in the figure of hillary clinton. but at the same time he's being criticized for being too much the candidate and campaigner and not sufficiently the president. donald trump being attacked right now by the president, by the vice president, there is an
array of figures that are -- democratic figures going after donald trump, and at least to this point, to little effect. your t
aspirational uplifting optimistic solutions. he's out there telling jokes and being negative. donald trump is so in the head of every major democratic figure right now. that they just don't know what to do with themselves. they can't run a positive campaign about her. lou: obama has moved to the campaign trail puts number juxtaposition to donald trump's persona and the comparison i think is not favorable to our president. kellyanne, it's great to have you with us. donald trump is addressing supporters right now in canton, ohio. we are going to go to that event in just a moment. we are coming right back. after these messages we'll have much more including the remarks of donald trump when we continue. stay with us. donald trump climbing in the polls, cutting away at hillary's
lead in key battleground states and they are all but tide. >> the poll vts gone up amazingly well. people are liking what we have to say. and i think we are going to be victorious. lou: this master of balance is raising the bar for his next death-defying stunt. we'll show you the remarkable ♪ there's no one road out there.
no one surface... no one speed... no one way of driving on each and every road. but there is one car that can conquer them all. the mercedes-benz c-class. five driving modes let you customize the steering, shift points, and suspension to fit the mood you're in... and the road you're on. the 2016 c-class. lease the c300 for $369 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. ...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma...
so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com.
lou: donald trump holding a rally in canton, ohio. the real clear politics average shows him tied in the battleground state. he's at the canton memorial civic center. the most recent polls, 5 points ahead. let's listen in. >> the economic policy of hillary clinton on trade, and immigration. how bad is immigration? how bad is immigration? have devastated the inner cities of america. her policies are the problem. we are offering the solution.
and we have the solution. hillary clinton believes in globalism. taking jobs from flint and other places and moving them to other countries because that's where her donors and special interests want them. i'm not running to be president of the world, i'm running to be president of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] i'm running to bring hope to flint and so many other places, including even canton, and i love this place. i love this place.
and i'll be back. i will be back. lou: he will be back, and you can tell he's loving the fact that he is ahead there in ohio. he has not been swayed, he has not been convinced by anyone to ignore ohio. he has been relentless of his pursuit of the favor of the great state of ohio and to considerable great effect. former reagan white house political director and fox news contributor, ed rollins. this is a man, he's in his moment right now. >> he's on the verge of turning this thing totally around. we started this many months ago, he had to win ohio and florida and hold the romney states, and pennsylvania would give him the 270 plus vote.
he's now very solid in ohio he's basically ahead in florida. he should not be saying he's behind anymore because he's ahead. he has got her on the ropes. and she has had the superior organization and has spent a lot more on ads. but he caught her and is moving forward. he's the confident candidate and she is not. lou: in terms of tactics and approach today, a brilliant move i think, going over to "dr. oz," taping a segment. who else would do this but donald trump. he hand hip two pieces of paper with the test results from his fiscal and from his doctor. >> we know he's a healthy man. he's very vigorous man. if he can lose 15 or 0 pound, don't we all. but he goes 0 hours a day. we have seen that. he's like an energizer bunny.
if he's not well, i want to take it medicine he's taking. lou: hillary clinton is does a third the numbers of rallies and travel donald trump is. this is a contest that's not going to change. no one is going to be told don't believe you're lying eyes. they are watching a man exuding energy and optimism against a candidate who is con have lessing. >> 50% of the country don't believe her tory. the critical thing here is her integrity has been challenges, and i think at the end of the day she represents the establishment. this is a campaign against the establishment. lou: do we have available bill clinton talking about the flu? we don't. we already aired it. but he seemed to me to be feeble. he misspoke. he talked about the flu, described her condition as flu. who doesn't have the flu when he
should have been talking about -- here we have it. you can check out how -- i did paraphrase the former president. >> i just talked to her. she is feeling great and i think seal be back out there tomorrow. so i -- it's crazy time we live in when people think there is something unusual about getting the flu. last time i checked. millions of people were getting it every year. lou: but one of them is not his wife. that's a terrible mistake to have made. and it's terrible optics because he seems himself tired and a shadow of himself. >> he is tired. he was one of the great campaigners i have seen in my lifetime. he's note that today. obama is still in good shape. but both he and she are very, very tired and they represent the old. even though trump may be older, certainly the same able, he's vigorous, a new wave and new
revolution. lou: as we discussed, the man is driving with energy that i don't know that obama was keeping his pace in 2008 and 2012. we'll check it out and have that for you at some point. ed, god to see you. this is quite a race. >> it's a great race it's far from over. but i think it language has to change. lou: ed rollins is showing a certain sense of optimism about this race. i'm just suggesting, you can conclude anything on it. but that's smile i see on ed rollins' face. >> i'm pleased by the thus am i'm finding. lou: be sure to vote in tonight's poll. the fact that hillary has been on bed rest, does it make you somewhat suspicious pneumonia is
the correct diagnosis? please roll the video. a daredevil performing a jaw dropping stunt without safety equipment of any kind. i don't understand these people. but i want to share this with you. watch as this thrill seeker balances on a ladder perched over a raining 900-foot waterfall in norway. he's attributing his success to yoga, meditation and i think a certain, small amount of courage, guts. wow. that's a fellow that has desperate needs that can only be met that way. i don't get it. up next we'll have more from trump. earlier today donald trump promised to do what obama and so many progressive liberals have
failed to do. >> flint is the result of so many failures. the damage can be corrected and corrected by people that know what they are doing. unfortunately people who caused this tremendous problem had no clue. but it will be fixed quickly and effectively and we'll bring jobs back to flint. lou: the very presidential donald trump. the subject of my commentary tonight. tonight. stay with us.
afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. always has to be who sat your desk? phone now, with one talk from verizon... hi, pete. i'm glad you called.

lou: a few thoughts on the surging republican nominee and is energized focus campaign was now less than eight weeks on election day. it is easy to describe donald trump at this point in the campaign. the man is absolutely presidential and he is looking more presidential everyday that passes. he exudes confidence in himself and his campaign and he has
already convinced tens of millions of americans that he loves being their voice and a man who will lead them into a future that is brighter than they believed possible before he entered the race. trump last night delivered a speech on child and elder care. think about that. no one has conjoined the two important needs and issues before. the elderly and childcare. but he and his daughter ivanka dead and they told us the details of how important the proposal is, who would benefit from this proposal and how much it would cost and he was persuasive about how to pay for it. the nation would be better for it. his proposal was about better living and organizing incentives to encourage and support working parents and the american family. everyone talks about the importance of the american family but it's donald trump who has put forward a plan that is magnetic and his support of the
all important american family. with that is his promise he delivers a major speech tomorrow on the a common meet in new york and make no mistake about it the republican nominee is in action. he's not just in motion. he traveled to flint michigan earlier today and there he toured a water treatment plant removing contaminated lead from as water supply. last month he was the first to meet with and reassure residents from flooding in louisiana. he traveled to the area before president obama who is on vacation playing golf and trump brought with him a semi-tractor load of food and supplies, not tv crews and microphones and cameras. and of course he didn't hesitate to travel to mexico when president enrique pena nieto invited him to discuss u.s.-mexico relations and invitation declined by hillary clinton. i believe trump is showing americans through his actions
how he will respond to challenges as president and how he will govern and how he will lead and his leadership style is being met with approval in the latest polls. today two new polls showing trump with a five-point lead in the important battleground state of ohio. trump is now leading in perhaps the pivotal battleground state of florida by three points, pivotal and certainly absolutely crucial. he's ahead in nevada by two points up from july when he trailed by 10 by four points and in a new quinnipiac national pulled trump has slashed clinton's lead in the four-way race to just two points from seven-point from a few weeks ago. donald trump has obviously found his stride and his voice and he is -- giving working americans and their misrepresentation with the voice in the national political arena on the issues that matter the most to them and the nation. this all may take some getting used to.
americans haven't had this kind of leadership since a fellow named reagan. now all that's to be done is to put him in the white house. a quotation of the evening is from ronald reagan who said this, life is one grand sweet song, so start the music. we are coming right at with as much music as we can muster. stay with us. donald trump is charging in the polls following hillary's health care and her insults to his followers. >> when she said that's good of deplorables you couldn't even believe it. i thought it was so terrible. lou: trump's furthering his case for the partisan -- presidency and the nominee is now looking as he puts it very presidential. jerry falwell junior is our guest, next. this stunt driver putting on a

never done this before. how could he possibly survive? these are the greatest professionals in the business. [applause] lou: down when his 16 and they quickly dwindled in the primary and now in the general election facing hillary clinton. trump today was earlier talkg about hisnergy and his stamina. he was then flint michigan talk about the devastating effects that localism outsourcing and free trade have had on our national economy and in particular michigan. >> it used to be cars were made in flint and you couldn't drink the water in mexico. now the cars are made in mexico and you can't drink the water in flint. that's not good.
lou: donald trump may have just articulated the essence, the critical central issue of this campaign, globalism versus americanism, the middle class versus the elites, the status quo establishment. his comments come in on the same day that -- announced its shifting all of its north american small car production from the united states to mexico joining us tonight president of liberty university jerry falwell junior. it's great to have you with us. i was so impressed with that's the same statement by trump comparing what was in michigan to what is today and it's a sad, sad comparison, isn't it? >> its chair and it's amazing how many buildings are being bulldozed in detroit.
once the powerhouse of america's farsi auto industry and it's all been because if democratic leadership and republican, republicans in congress refuse to stand up and do anything to stop it. you know it's one of the reasons i was an early supporter of trump. i saw that he was not part of the establishment. he was not a career politician. eiseman 20 years as an attorney before becoming president of liberty university about 10 years ago and many of those years were. >> trying to bring liberty university that to financial vitality. we were struggling as the onion diversity and after years of struggle now we are the most prosperous largest christian university in the world and one of the five largest universities in the country. so i have seen what can be done and when i saw donald trump and when i heard him talk about the bad trade deals and taking jobs away from america, when i saw how the it been so successful of
his own company that's when i became a believer. lou: a lot of people are becoming believers and it's interesting too that this presidential candidate donald trump in two days it will be 15 months in standard the race, he has pressed the issue that wasn't even going to be discussed in this election cycle , much to those in the primary who opposed him and much of the establishment both business and political establishments. we are talking about illegal immigration and. policies that are having devastating mortal effects on much of this country, on jobs and are middle class. he is changing the direction of both the discussion and the focus of proposals that will guide the country for the next four years. jerry you got to be thrilled to be watching what is happening as he is taking the lead in various
battleground states and taking the lead in a number of the national polls as well. >> i believe that's the most recent national polls will be out until tomorrow. i think you'll see a big bump there and i really believed -- lou: the vegas pole tomorrow, that's the "fox news poll" so that will be the most important. >> all right but i think those polls and correct me if i'm wrong target likely voters and i'm not sure chomps supporters fall into that category. many of them have never voted before. i think many of them don't answer questions when they come and i really believe we are going to wake up november 9 and my prediction for what it's worth, we are going to be a shot for the people in great britain after the brexit vote. i think the same type of sentiment is out there and i think that's what we are going to see. lou: well, there is an empirical
basis for it as you well know also. he outperformed his polling in the latter half of the primary election season. no reason to expect otherwise in the general election. jerry falwell junior always great to talk with you. thanks for being with us. >> good to be with you lou, always. lou: roll the video now. daredevil creating his on hyatt hang action movie in buffalo, new york. oh my -- watches as drivers aims for an industrial park and runs in front of an oncoming train. he avoids them by mere seconds and then does a series of turning donuts so close to the edge of the pier that is backed by her roles. i've got to tell you, someday we will just have to meet all these people. who in the world thinks of these things? do you in the world is crazy enough to do them but thank you.
thank you very much. we appreciate it. up next the obama administration says it's ramping up the number of refugees being it made it to this country to 110,000, a 30% increase as the national presidential election a major part. one of its issues is how in the world can this administration bring in the refugees without vetting them? republican nominee saying we need extreme vetting. no argument for most americans. we will talk with america's top we will talk with america's top sheriff joe arpaio joins us what is success? we will talk with america's top sheriff joe arpaio joins us is it a professor who never stops being a student? is it a caregiver determined to take care of her own? or is it a lifetime of work that blazes the path to your passions? your personal success takes a financial partner

thune joining me now the man who is called a tough the sheriff and also the countries that sheriff in my opinion. maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio. great to see you sheriff. i want to just say that as we are looking what is happening with the border of mexico and the refugees and all these issues you have been fighting for years donald trump as saying straightforwardly he's going to stop illegal immigration. he has owned so mad with the present of mexico and is starting to elevate the discussion authorities in office about a responsible relationship between two adults as leaders
rather than one that is patronizing and condescending to the other as has president obama and before him george w. bush when it comes to mexico. >> that was a great move when he went to mexico city. when i was there i was head of the federal drug enforcement, you get things done by mutual respect, talking talking. he has already started it. he is not even the president so when i'm sure he gets the presidency he's going to go to mexico and he will make some deals in our favor to resolve some of the drug problems and illegal immigration. a very good move, believe me. lou: hillary clinton, secretary of state, did nothing to improve matters in a relationship with mexico or the crisis of illegal immigration and border crossings. what is your sense of her remarks about the deplorables,
people, i mean i'm not even going to go through the list of names she called, 50 million people. >> i think i'm part of that but it kind of earns turns me up, 55 years of my life serving his country and you know she was in phoenix several months ago reading a teleprompter. she blasts the made and the bad part is she could not pronounce my name right. i presume i'm one of the 50% that she is referring to and that's a personal insult to me because i was with donald trump from day one, day one and she's making those remarks. i take it personal. maybe i should not but i do. lou: the things -- the reason you take things personal is the reason you have been such a great sure for so long in the great voice for this country and i know donald trump is going to be thrilled to have you as one of his most prominent supporters.
sheriff, we are out of time but is always great to see you. say hi to your wife ava for me and all the best to you both. >> think you lou. lie up next donald trump moments ago taking issue with the president's work ethic. >> i watched obama yesterday. why isn't he working? why isn't he working instead of campaigning for crooked hillary? who is paying for that a plane that comes, i just wonder. fu we will take up those questions and answers. tony sayegh and morgan ortegus tony sayegh and morgan ortegus among our
afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.
everyone thought i was crazy to open a hotel here. everyone said it's so hard to be a musician, but i can't imagine doing anything else. now that the train makes it easier to get here, the neighborhood is really changing. i'm always hopping on the train, running all over portland. i have to go wherever the work is. trains with innovative siemens technology help keep cities moving, so neighborhoods and businesses can prosper. i'm booked solid for weeks. it takes ingenuity to make it in the big city. i'm booked solid for weeks. across new york state,

one, two, - wait, wait. wait - where's tina? doing the hand thing? yep! we are all in for our customers. ally. do it right. lou: and our on line poll last night we asked you, do you believe the clinton campaign is mortally wounded? 82% of these eight yes, it is. we asked that question is meant meant -- as well as many others joining us "fox news" contributor tony sayegh and maverick pack cochair morgan ortegus. good to have you both with us. we know now this dual over health has been basically resolve. one candidate is in comp lessons and the others on dr. oz with people regaling his health. what do you think? >> i think it's a good move for
him to go on dr. oz because people actually watch the show. women like to watch the show in men like to watch the show. he's speaking directly to the voters. he's bypassing the traditional media and everyday that he's talking about his health is a day that her health stays in the news as well. we have to be careful about how he does it. it's more appropriate to shine the light on his health and let that continue the story about hers. lou: a great thing is every candidate sees it. a comparison and this could be more positive for him. >> certainly and also the bigger problem for hillary clinton is at this point the way the campaign responded to the questions surrounding it. where would we be in this conversation lou if there wasn't video footage of her collapsing and being rushed to the hospital. lou: where would be -- we be without the man who took that, it's a billion of the national media organization because the media had gone along with the
prohibition on video the events, the most mindless thing i've seen happen collectively. >> the clintons campaign's lies about her health and much of transparency has been criticized by who? david axelrod said it's an unhealthy amount and lack of transparency. he talked about the penchant for privacy when he's talking about the penchant to live to obfuscate into cover-up. this is the clintons. this is who they are and it has been revealed for all of america to see. is there anyway in the world she can overcome this? >> she is blowing a double-digit lead sensor convention. the polls are tightening and i think that was bound to happen. tony and i were talking about this earlier. i think this is the super bowl. i think it's going to go back and forth. i don't think anybody's going to run up the score. i think it will be hillary
clinton until election day. the close ones are more fun. lou: i'm not certain that necessarily holds this time because i don't see any way in which you can create a narrative that overcomes her health and overcomes the cover-up, overcomes the scandals that are unrelenting and enlist metastasizing. it's been going on and this is not one year, this is not one month, this is decade after decade of something called the clintons. >> what you have happening on the exact same time in the trump cited much more disciplined campaign of his own policy announcements just yesterday as childcare tax cuts he announced with ivanka. very innovative. lou: at the show this to you from the green room. that is what donald trump said. i really believe his statement today quote i really believe in the essence of this campaign. let's look at what he said about contrasting mexico and detroit
because this is it. it used to be cars were made in flint and you couldn't drink the water in mexico. now the karzai made in mexico and you can't drink the water in flint. that's not good. i can't tell you, he has summed up what is happening to this country and the idiots, the establishment by the way if i may say and mark shields a ceo who is otherwise a good guy just made the announcement today and one of the worst moments of timing i've ever seen ford is moving all of its small car production in north america to mexico he said. what do you do with people who are that indifferent and tone deaf to what the american people need and want? >> i thought we had this epiphany after the financial crisis that we needed to make things in america again and i think that's where we are going.
>> you create a political movement and throw the bums out. that's what donald trump has done. lou: thank you both. that's it for us tonight. tomorrow congressman marsha black vernon among our guests. there's so much to talk about. good night from new york. kennedy: to my present, plans to accept 100,000 more refugees to the u.s. but here's the rub, they would arrive next year when the next president is in charge. dana perino weighs in plus gary johnson could now be the deciding factor in the biggest election of all, ohio. the latest on the polls therein johnson's latest push to get into the debate in rock music icon is here to tell me about his brand-new album and what it's like to work for the donald. it's time to jam. hackery is now a common practice and you are just as likely to get news and information from stolen e-mails as you are from the story in "the new york times."

on the battlefield but somebody's boots have to be there. >> if no one else would step up you'd recommend putting american boots on the ground? >> we'd have no choice. >> reporter: many say that's just what isis wants. another u.s. invasion. terry moran, abc news, on the turkish/syrian border. now to utah where torrential rain swamped much of the region forcing the closure of a sewage treatment plant and damaging dozens of homes. in southern utah, flooding was so intense the ground at the edge of the bridge gave way sending two people and their car into the river below. they were stuck in the frigid water until rescuers arrived. both are suffering extreme hypothermia. and heavy rains are blamed for the rupture of a huge sewage line in tampa, florida. up to 500 gallons are spewing out cascading over roadways, sidewalks and into driveways and yards.

with those fees, we'd love to know and love to transfer some funds to them this morning. >> philadelphia had the highest average for overdraft by the way. san francisco with the lowest at 26.74. i would think san francisco would be higher. >> because everything else is higher out there. a soda can be harmful to your child's health. the nation's top pediatricians are now saying carbonated soft drinks can lead to weaker bones because they often replace milk and other sources of calcium. also the phosphate can interact with calcium. all in all american academy of pediatrics suggesting that soda be avoided altogether. from soda to a potato salad celebration. this is thanks to a joking crowd funding appeal that raised $55,000. >> they called this potato stock 2014. it was all about peace, love and potato salad. everyone was invited to the bash that featured food trucks, beer vendors and 3,000 pounds of

longer alive and they took that out. did you think that they took that out? >> no, i knew jack was no longer and i was okay with it. >> and milo/jack is going to shave the mustache. >> there will come a time where jack loses it and we'll see a different side of jack. >> were you ever self-conscious like "can i pull this off?" maybe. >> maybe but then you just do it. >> we know toby survived his heart attack and proposes to kate played by chrissy metz but chris sullivan told us details about the fat suit he wears on set everyday. >> yeah, the costume pads me out about 150 pounds, probably, it's a pair of pants that i pull up wear suspenders and a jacket that zips up the back. >> does its take a while to take on and off. are you avoiding liquids on set? >> it takes about 10 minutes to get on and it comes off faster. >> the show's original title was 36 based on the ages of the big

Soros Prepares For Trump War
George Soros and his fellow liberal mega-donors are currently readying the post-Hillary Clinton Democratic party to oppose President-Elect Donald Trump.
According to Politico, Soros and other key members of the so-called “Democracy Alliance” met in Washington, DC at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Sunday for the first day of the group’s three-day investment conference.
The Democracy Alliance has funneled upwards of $500 million toward liberal activist groups and candidates since Soros co-founded the group in 2005.
DA requires all members — which in 2016 includes more than 100 “finance titans” — to donate at least $200,000 a year to approved activist groups.
But the issues the DA and DNC traditionally use to mobilize liberal voters — a la climate change — failed to pull white, working class support away from Trump and the GOP, which as one Democrat operative put, should “[call] into question… the DA itself.”
Therefore, at this year’s meeting, Soros and other liberal leaders — including Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison — will discuss opposing Trump’s plan for his first 100 days in office, a plan the DA called “a terrifying assault on President Obama’s achievements, and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.” (RELATED: Liberal Money’s Longterm Strategy To Control Public Opinion And Secure ‘Advantageous’ Demographics)
Trump has pledged that his first 100 days in office will be dedicated to restoring “honesty, accountability and change to Washington.” (RELATED: Trump’s Seven Point Plan To ‘Drain The Swamp’)

The last place you'd look for the truth
"Vacuum Is Feared as U.S. Quits Iraq, but Iran’s Deep Influence May Not Fill It":
"One aim of the American invasion here was to establish a moderate center of Shiite Islam, democratically inclined and oriented to the West, that would be a counterbalance to Iran’s system of clerical rule. However, something like the reverse seems to have happened. As Iran has used its political connections to hold great sway over Iraq’s leadership class, and has backed militias responsible for assassinations and attacks on American bases, it has been less successful wielding other mechanisms of power at a grass-roots level."
This is the 8th/9th step of the Zionist plan for the Middle East. It is odd to read it in so many words in the New York Times, which consistently suppresses such information (it sounds ridiculous as an American goal when you consider how much money Americans spent on it). Of course, the Times spent a considerable amount of time paying finding people in Iraq to say bad things about Iran, downplaying the fact that Iran, and not Israel, won the American attack on Iraq.
Also odd from the NYT: "Scientists’ Analysis Disputes F.B.I. Closing of Anthrax Case". Now, if Ivins didn't do it (and could not possibly have done it), and Steven Hatfill didn't do it, and Ayaad Assaad didn't do it, it was almost certainly an operation by the Camel Club (the two damning facts: the letter accusing Assaad was written before the story was public but after the anthrax letters were mailed, and a member of the Camel Club was let into the Ft. Detrick lab at as time he had no business being there), a Zionist false flag attack intended to simultaneously threaten Democratic Senators into passing the Patriot Act (the cornerstone of that War For The Jews known as the 'War on Terror'), while making it seem that it was another attack by Islamists. Needless to say, this real terrorist attack - as opposed to those manufactured by the FBI - will never be honestly investigated, as it is simply politically impossible to reveal a Zionist false flag attack on the American government and people.
