— Charles Osgood
Endorsement by the Founder of a Sustainability-focused NGO
"We can't steer by the old lights, and ventures like AHC, people like Bruce, are engaged in a process of informed guidance, helping enterprise around history's sharp corners by putting language to current and impending conditions. Either the world is headed toward sustainable practices, or the world is drifting toward trouble and the ruin of all systems as we presently understand them. AHC is a sustainability champion. That has great value; that's real currency."

Endorsement by the Founder of a Distinguished Washington, D.C., Corporate Consulting Firm
"I have not read in several years a book with such an immediacy of application. World Inc. presents an ability to integrate, in a simple and direct approach, an astonishing number of onrushing global variables in a way that can be quickly read, understood, internalized, and immediately related to a business executive's current pressures."

"Bruce Piasecki has spent his career bringing people together to discuss the challenging issues of the times. If you spend much time with Bruce, you'll undoubtedly notice that he listens intently and takes copious notes. He always knows when to inject a certain catalyst to spark and stimulate the discussion. World Inc. captures many of these thoughts and his vision into the future, and offers a unique opportunity to benefit from these hundreds and thousands of encounters that Bruce has experienced."

"Riveting is not a word normally associated with business books, but that was my first reaction to Bruce Piasecki's latest contribution to the literature on sustainability...and that was after only the first chapter.
Five years ago the topics of green and sustainability suffered from nebulous definitions and uncorroborated testimonies. But as the topics have matured, we find both tremendous responsibility and business opportunity embedded in our responses as corporations and communities.
Bruce takes us to the next level in World Inc. Through thoughtful commentary and concrete examples he sets a new bar for achievement and a challenge for innovation in not only products, but in the very way organizations are managed and respond."

Endorsement by an Influential Media Leader
"World Inc. ably demonstrates that we are indeed becoming one world. Corporations can either step up to their role as good stewards or pay the price in the marketplace. This book should be on every decision-maker's desk. Kudos to Bruce Piasecki for doing the work necessary to bring about this much needed paradigm shift."

"In the past, [AHC Group workshops] have considered some of the major environmental issues of the day — and in his latest book, World Inc., Bruce Piasecki has captured some of the most powerful cases of this exchange that supports the conclusion that environmental leadership is sound business and can also meet the expectations of society."

Endorsement by the CEO of a Solid Waste Management Solutions Company
"Describing a phenomenon he was instrumental in creating and stimulating, Bruce Piasecki, PhD, in his new book World Inc. is alerting the world to a new efficient resource for solving some of our more serious global problems. He asserts, convincingly, that major corporations are rapidly not only assuming responsibility for the unintended consequences of their productive activity, but taking an aggressive leadership role in addressing issues such as global warming, renewable energy, resource conservation, and sustainability. I have had the pleasure of watching Bruce over the past 20 years as he has advocated for responsible corporate leadership, provided stimulating benchmarking conferences and influenced and applauded the actions of Toyota, HP, Dupont, Whirlpool, Suncor, and numerous others as they took positive action and set examples. For those who have not had the pleasure, this book will provide some hope for a brighter global future through the efforts of unsung corporate heroes."

Endorsement by the CEO of a Renewable Energy Retailer
"No business can remain competitive, open to new markets and new opportunities, without driving every level of its business toward the concept of social response capitalism and product development. World Inc. demonstrates that corporate social responsibility is not simply about doing good, but doing good business by developing products that the market demands — and which also deliver value to shareholders and society alike."
— Mel Jones
Sterling Planet
Endorsement by a Key Officer for a U.S. Defense Contractor
"In 2007, with the emergence of huge multinational companies, Piasecki has again discovered a critical alignment that will shape our future. Companies, rather than nations, are taking the lead in social causes such as environmental sustainability, energy conservation and worker safety. World Inc. discusses the alignment of these social causes with the core financial and quality demands of corporations in the marketplace. Business leaders will want to read Piasecki's exploration of this new alignment and what it means to future corporate competitiveness. Activists in the causes of energy, environment and health must read it as a handbook to new partners and tools in pursuit of their vital missions."
— Jerry Hudson

Endorsement by a Key Officer at a Major Media Company
"Dr. Piasecki's style reminds me of Thomas Friedman, whose gift includes the ability to frame complex issues and communicate them in an easy-to-understand and engaging manner. And by demonstrating a pragmatic insight of business, Dr. Piasecki has convinced me that our future is secure. The 'green' appetite by the consuming public will continue to accelerate exponentially as the participation of more socially responsible corporations grows. Everyone benefits!
"I'm confident that Dr. Piasecki's work in transforming companies and public expectations is what will attract many to this kind of work in the near future."

The Media Group
Endorsement by a Key Officer at an International Nonprofit Leadership Organization
"In World Inc. Bruce Piasecki solidly conveys the ever successive need to grasp the interdependence between products, profits and people. It is accessible, honest and the next must-read for business leaders genuinely seeking to understand the future of sustainable development in the lineage of Hawken's Ecology of Commerce, Zadek's Civil Corporation, Elkington's Cannibals with Forks and Hopkins' Planetary Bargain."

The Aspen Institute
Endorsement by Climate Change Expert, Editor, and Author of the Pulitzer-Prize Winning Book The Heat Is On
"The guiding value of what Piasecki terms 'senile' capitalism was profit maximization through raw competition. That was surely the dominant operating principle of business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. More recently, it spawned a wave of contempt for government and a profound suspicion of regulation. But I think that 'socially responsive' capitalism requires a much more nuanced balance between competition and cooperation."

(from the Foreword to World Inc.)
Endorsement by a Key Officer at Wal-Mart Stores
"In his book, World Inc., Bruce Piasecki explores the changing role of business in the 21st Century, and the strategy of business sustainability as a source of inimitable competitive advantage. Today, as many business leaders revisit the question — 'What will it take for our company to continue its rate of growth for the next 20 years?' — they find that the answers for the next 20 years are markedly different from those of the past. Bruce contributes to this discussion by going beyond the usual topics of resource capacity and the unintended consequences of world economic development, to examine the changing role of business, and the capabilities and strategies required by leaders to excel in the empowered, social network of the emerging global economy."
— Tyler J. Elm, Senior Director,

We will only survive if we work together for the betterment of all. Few people are as qualified as Dr. Piasecki to lead this charge. For anyone concerned about the future, World Inc. is a must-read."

Endorsement by Corporate President of
Dayton Power and Light Company
"If ever there were a time in the corporate governance and environmental arenas where the insights of the activist could provide value-added to the corporate businessman today is that time. Piasecki lays out near term solutions to current relevant issues that will help ensure your business's long term market success.
"The pragmatic view Bruce Piasecki conveys on implementing change processes here build on his successful 1990 book In Search of Environmental Excellence: Moving Beyond Blame.
"By addressing consumer products and services through case studies and the end user's viewpoint Bruce Piasecki clearly demonstrates how today's informed consumers are demanding more than merely high quality and low cost - they have a larger sense of value. By adopting his thesis on social response product development insightful and entrepreneurial businesses will be able change their corporations to better serve their customers and capture additional value.

Endorsement by a Leadership & Business Consultant
"Much as Daniel Goldman redefined intelligence as both emotional and social, Bruce Piasecki recasts 21st-century business leadership as globally-minded, inclusive of brilliance in its many forms, and keenly aware of its complex and multi-faceted role in today's world. An insider's book, World Inc. challenges corporate leaders to use their credibility and influence, and to take responsibility to shape the vision and strategic direction of businesses. He clearly and succinctly builds the case for moving — from independent profitable entities — to change agents in a larger world community that influences us physically, emotionally, and systemically with an aligned social consciousness."

Endorsement by a Corporate Consultant and Advocate for Sustainability in Business
"World Inc. proves that when companies get the priorities right, they get everything else right, easily and rapidly. They earn 'more profit' by making profits clearly their second priority. Who wouldn't want to work for such a company? Who wouldn't want to invest in it? Bruce Piasecki provides a clear win-win that shopkeepers in small towns have known forever but that has gotten lost in the abstractions of multinational finance. This is a recognition of an awareness we had lost, a wake-up call from a long slumber."

Endorsement by Major Legal Thinker and
Corporate Leader, Kenneth Dickerson
"Leadership in the corporate world involves many aspects, as described by the author; however, anticipation of change, willingness to invest based upon a look beyond the horizon and a commitment to the long term health of the planet is the centerpiece of this book.
"Dr. Piasecki has chosen to analyze the thought processes of the leaders of very successful enterprises and concludes that alertness to the need for change and societal concerns are the key drivers in their successes. As the author concludes, 'those that do not address these drivers will be consumed or cease to exist.'"

Endorsement by Anheuser Busch
"Dr. Bruce Piasecki's most recent book, World Inc., presents a rare but important vision into our future world — a robust world where 'buy and sell' decisions are made not only on the basis of price, quality and availability but also on the basis of environmental, social and economic criteria that occur across the value chain of products and services.
"Those in Corporate America who are early movers in integrating these essential concepts launching superior products and services will be rewarded in the global marketplace. Dr. Piasecki has focused on the leaders of two companies (HP and Toyota) to show how these early movers are developing sustainability strategies that are already showing early signs of success.
"The author also makes the contrasting point that those companies who are slow to move or don't move at all into these sustainability strategies risk the potential of being added to the growing scrap heap of companies who have failed to heed past visions of change in a timely manner."
— Bill Sugar, Senior Director, Anheuser-Busch Corporation

Quartermaster Corps
Campaign Hat
A small reference work for identifying early models issued by the United States Army from 1911 - 1942 and later versions used after 1945.
36th Division Trainees
Sporting their Campaign Hats
As a novice collector of American World War One material I found little in the way of literature to identify period makes of the service hat. So I have taken upon myself to research and identify period makes and manufacturers of this headgear. This is a rough outline based mostly upon my own collection and is in no way a definitive work, as much more research needs to be done -- each hat was as individual as the man who wore it. Hopefully those with collections, info and ideas will come forward and add to this work. Only time will tell if there is interest enough for me to publish a reference volume. I hope you enjoy it and please contact me with comments criticism and information. Thanks.
I have divided identification of service hats into time periods, obviously manufacturing contracts did not follow such a clear cut pattern.
This is the period when the US Army adopted the "Montana peak" style, officially on September 8, 1911. As to their origin one can only guess. Previously in the Spanish-American war and Philippine Insurrection many troops peaked their M1883, M1903 hats this way rather than the regulation fore and aft crease, in order to shed water better. This service hat has 4 ventilation holes on each of the peaks, all are perpendicular, to the 3 inch brim.
Hats of this era have the following characteristics: 2 to 8 rows of stitching around the edge of the brim, most common is 5 rows, no grommets for a leather chin strap on the brim, and a high peak of about 5 3/4 inches in height, (measurements are taken from the inside of the hat). Also underneath the sweatband are two small holes with circular brass grommets. This is to let the shoestring chinstrap pass through and underneath the sweatband down to the chin. The sweatband itself is not sewn to the body at this point in order to let the strap pass through. The shoestring tie runs underneath the grosgrain ribbon behind the ears and at the back of the hat. A makers trademark or name may be present on the sweatband, usually this applies to General officers' hats. Most of the ones that were enlisted personnel did not. The differences between officers and enlisted men are the following and apply throughout the next thirty years: HIGHER QUALITY OF FELT [1], usually a darker shade of olive drab for officers; enlisted mens' hats were of a lighter shade of olive [2], ( almost tan in colour and a lower density of felt around 3 or 4 X's); and as mentioned, a hat makers trademark is on the sweatband, and the store trademark where purchased is present only on officers; e.g. John B. Stetson Co., and Greenewalds, of South Carolina.
This is the time period when the US entered the war and as such, massive quantities of material were needed to feed, clothe, and equip and army. Enlisted hats of this period have similar qualities as the previous era save a few subtle differences. One is the appearance of metal grommets for a leather chinstrap, and the disappearance of shoestring ties. Also Quartermaster stamps with the following: contract number [3] and manufacturer in black ink. are present under the sweatband. But most importantly the "tell tale" marking of a World War One hat is the "United Hatters Union of North America" paper tag approximately 1 inch by 1 inch tag has the following details: two hands shaking superimposed over a globe with crossed US Flags at the side and underneath is the words:"registered trademark."
Another feature is the construction of the ribbon, it has the following characteristics: alternating thick and thin ribbing, usually one thick followed by two thin and another thick, earlier and latter models of hats have standard thin ribbing all along with no alteration of sizes. By the end of 1920-21 ornamental stitching no longer appears on enlisted hats. Again research shows many companies got contracts to produce hats and variations abound. It is up to the collector to determine if the hat is genuine. Another feature is the reed used to make the sweatband stiff and apply a base between the felt and the leather, after 1920 or so reeds weren't necessarily used and plastic and other materials replaced them.

When the doughboys made it overseas and into the front the campaign hat had to be stored somewhere in order to wear the new steel helmet issued. The hat was too big to be stored in the pack and space was at a premium in the rear. Eventually the overseas cap was adopted and those units not actively at the front were to use the service hat in the rear. Some were taken to be cut up and used a felt slippers for the wounded.
P1912 USMC Service hat
This hat was also made of wool or fur felt and was identical to the Model 1911, except for the following: a three inch brim folded over with two rows of stitching, and three vents in the crown but no rear vent. Officers where the only ones allowed to wear a hat cord. Theirs' is scarlet and gold. Again the EGA (eagle globe anchor) device was attached to the front vent for both officers and enlisted.
Between the wars, the service hat changed little, except it now became thicker in density and the high peak of earlier years was reduced to a dome shape peak about 5 1/4.inches. Quartermaster markings were still in place underneath the band in ink, and Officers still purchased their own. Another feature is the changing of the United Hatters tag, now smaller but still the same design with the addition of the following: " United hatters and milliners union of North America Registered trademark." Smaller ventilation ports and an increased size of the chin strap grommet, were some of the manufacturers changes. It was at this time the US army decided to restrict the use and replace the campaign hat for good. The hat saw service in the Pacific theatre and Alaska, only the mainland Cavalry were still issued it at this time (1942-1945).
This hat proved well both in the field and in the garrison, it was well received by all branches of the Army. It provided unsurpassed protection against the elements and when worn for this purpose redeemed it self admirably. However, with the advent of modern war it impracticable against combat conditions. Although, it is associated with the AEF, many Doughboys wore the flat, easily folded overseas cap which was much easier to store than the Campaign Hat. The campaign hat is still worn by many US State police Forces and Armed forces drill instructors. Today, collectors can pick up an enlisted service hat for anywhere between $34 to $140 depending upon condition and who's selling it. Officers are a little higher, a Stetson can go for $149-200. USMC hats are extremely rare; in 1998 one went for $300, the price now is $620 on average.
Notes and Details:
[1] Highest quality fur felt was used, however some cheaper models were exclusively wool. Which has a rougher texture and is not as durable.
[2] This was not always true. Some were dark brown to fawn tan, majority in my own collection are fawn coloured, and officers darker in shade.
[3] Early war contract number: Ferry hat Co. New York May 5-1917, late war number: 219-N Ferry Hat Co. New York.
I have provided a list of manufacturers of service hats for the US army during 1917 taken from the Military Affairs committee of United States senate 1918.

Frank Washington Biography
Real Name: Frank Washington
Nicknames: (The) Revolutionary, (The) Revolutionary Turncoat, The Benedict Arnold of Professional Wrestling
Hometown: Now residing in San Jose, California
Birthday: December 19, 1982
Height: 6ft
Biography: Frank Washington found success in early 2007 wrestling in an Indy promotion in Stockton, California where he not only captured his first championship but would become a double champion before the promotion shut its doors. From there he joined various promotions in New York, Knoxville, and Connecticut just to name a few managing to find success in nearly every promotion he stepped foot in gaining a reputation for putting on great matches win or lose. In 2008 he truly began to find his stride as the “Revolutionary Turncoat” from his heinous betrayal in favor of Devastation Inc. before taking time away from wrestling to heal nagging injuries and pursue other interests. He would return once again to professional wrestling at the beginning of 2010, catching fire with the “Revolutionary Turncoat” gimmick by further cementing his unpredictability and willingness to turn on his longtime friend at the drop of a dime, Robert Garland, all in the name of furthering his own career in what was potentially the hottest feud of 2010 in New York. In New York he cemented himself as a showcase wrestler, elevating the Interbrand Championship to near main event status during his reign. Near the end of 2010 he took time away from professional wrestling again, only wrestling sporadically until 2013 when he rediscovered his passion for the business back in Knoxville. After a contract dispute with the Knoxville territory and raising hell in Canada with The Jokers Wild Frank Washington comes to the UTA to write the next chapter in his career.

Mike Best Biography
Real Name: Michael Lee Best
Nicknames:
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Birthday: February 7th, 1986
Biography: The son of famed Chicago wrestling promoter and HOW creator Lee Best, Michael Lee Best is a seasoned professional wrestling veteran who has been polarizing the opinions of the general public for over ten years. From a controversial reign as DREAM Wrestling Women's Champion to the High Octane Hall of Fame, Michael has made both a life and a career out of turning heads and shocking wrestling fans.
A veteran of the independent circuit, Michael truly began to gain traction as a member of James Wingate's DREAM Wrestling in 2008. The aforementioned reign as DWF Women's Championship made him a household name (albeit a despised one) to the casual wrestling fan, and his multiple reigns as DREAM World Champion cemented him as both a talented competitor and cunning strategist before he was legally old enough to rent a car. It was in 2010 that Michael made the jump to the big leagues-- High Octane Wrestling. It was at the Best Arena in Chicago that Michael Best discovered the identity of his biological father, and subsequently adopted the middle and surname by which he uses today both legally and professionally. Over the course of the next five years, he would rack up an impressive twenty championship reigns, win the Triple Crown of War Games, Solitary Confinement, and the LBI Final at March To Glory, and truly become a household name in professional wrestling. Love him or hate him, Michael Lee Best's name is one that you've heard before, and one that will rouse an opinion out of you one way or another.
In December 2014, Michael Best achieved a lifelong dream when he was inducted into the High Octane Hall of Fame by a panel of his peers. With nothing left to accomplish, he hung up his boots in April of 2015 to focus on the students at his wrestling school, FiveTime Academy. He now serves as the manager and mentor of one such student, Alexandra Beckman, as she climbs the ladder in the United Toughness Alliance.
Other Feds: High Octane Wrestling, DREAM
Other Fed Titles: 8x HOW World Champion, 5x HOW ICON Champion, 3x HOW LSD Champion, 2x HOW Tag Team Champion, 2x HOW HOFC Champion. 2x DREAM World Champion, 1x DREAM Tag Team Champion, 1x DREAM Women's Champion (Yes, seriously).
Other Fed Awards: HOW Hall of Famer, 2015 Class. OH AND HE TOTALLY WON BATTLEMANIA.
I’m known for two things in this industry-- running my mouth, and backing it up
Behold, I bring you The Machine.
With the possible exception of a Chris Hopper debate on the role of women in wrestling, I have never seen someone put a human being to sleep as quickly as Alex Beckman.
To see Alex Beckman-- with a smile wider than Bobby Dean’s maternity jeans-- lock your neck up in a death grip sparks something within me that I’ve never felt before.

Here is a brief summary of the service of 67th Medium Regiment, RA:
67th Medium Regiment, R.A. (T.A.)
HQ, 232nd (Suffolk) Bty: Ipswich
231st (Suffolk) Bty: Sudbury
67th Medium Regiment served under command of IV Corps Artillery in the autumn of 1940. It was sent to North Africa in October 1941 as part of the Crusader convoys. It served under 8th Army in the campaigns in the Western Desert from November 1941 until June 1942. It supported the South African attack on Bardia in December 1941. The regiment added (Suffolk) to its name on 17 February 1942. It was captured at Tobruk on 20 June 1942. Due to casualities the regiment was reduced to a cadre on 7 September 1942.
The regiment was reformed at Hunstanton, Norfolk on 7 February 1943 from 167th Field Regiment. It joined 3rd Army Group RA on its formation on 11 February 1943 at 49 Trant Road, Tunbridge Wells. It served in Northwest Europe with this formation from June 1944 until the end of the war.

Post subject: Reproduction vs. Replica
What distinction, if any, do you guys make between the terms reproduction and replica? (Note that I am not asking about the difference between restoration and reproduction/replica.) Are they synonymous to you? Does one imply a greater level of historical accuracy than the other?
I've thought about this and the one thing I can offer is that if you take the term "reproduction" literally, it would refer to any airframe built during a restarting of mass production (e.g. Flug Werk 190), rather than being a one-off. However, I doubt anyone uses the term this way.

Noha,
Great topic. Everyone likes this! Authenticity is a sliding scale in my opinion. If you ar selling vs buying is a real good place to have an opinion on it too!

There is a reason why nobody uses it this way and that is because nobody has restarted mass production. Besides, that doesn’t work at all. If a manufacturer like Boeing happened to own the NAA P-51 “rights” and decided to make them from new as NAA Boeing P-51B-10 airframes for example, they are a continuation of production by the auspices of the original manufacturer. They are genuine articles, if not authentic to WWII. As an aside; The Flugwerk “run” is more of a kit plane/replica as it is not authentic to the original structure, engineering or powerplant of the original. It’s not a new build 190, but a plane sold as a kit that replicates the look of an Fw-190. It is not authentic in many respects to the original.
The term reproduction generally applies to parts, for example, with a vintage Corvette a reproduction quarter panel or seat cover that accurately matches a 1967 part but was or is newly made is a reproduction. To extend that, if a complete reproduction car is assembled from parts but picks up some original parts, and a “vin” from a rusted out car, it still is that car as per the paperwork. If it has no paperwork, and has a few original parts but is licensed as a 197 Chevy by a sympathetic DMV but without a corvette correct vin number it would be a reproduction car. The financial hit in doing this is severe so most find a car to resurrect.
With aircraft there will never be a mass produced run, or even a low rate production run of any kind. There will be new build parts. But labeling aircraft is problematic when you are an enthusiast who has no skin in the game. Especially when you call someone’s mega dollar restoration a very inflammatory word.
If the plane is registered with a correct serial number and has the correct paperwork to make it legally a P-51 for example, then that is what it is. The legal title of it is incontrovertible. If a perspective owner wants to know just how much is or is not “original” or if the plane is a resurrection then they probably contact a guy like me. When we look at an airframe for valuation these old labels like the ones you mention are really not applicable anymore. They are at the 75th anniversary of D Day now. In the next 25 years all active P-51’s will have had new longerons installed and will have been substantially rebuilt.
The real question: Is there any good and fair reason to stop the process, or label these individual efforts of restorers as something less than they are? NAA built them on a production line, and many new aircraft had defects that resulted in rework. I would postulate that every Mustang completed by industry today is better than anything NAA made.
But that’s only applicable to Mustangs. Apply the same logic to Zero’s or FW-190 and you run into supply problems. A correct new build but perfect FW-190 restored from a wreck is worth far more than a Mustang because real ones are unobtanium. That’s the real issue. Corvettes have huge supply of original perfect cars in comparison. How many FW-190’s have original paint and low miles?

FWIW, in the old school automotive world, a replica was made by the factory, a reproduction was made by an owner.
For example if a Fallthorpe Snark competed at LeMans, the factory might make a dozen more cars to an identical specification (or nearly so) and and sell them as "Snark LeMans Replicas". If Joe Enthusiast took his pedestrian Snark and fitted it with all of the go-faster parts that the competition Snarks had, it would be a reproduction. (and chances are it would be a better car, as Joe Enthusiast would have learned from the factory's mistakes)
Lest Hero-worship raise it's head and cloud our vision, remember that World War II was fought and won by the same sort of twenty-something punks we wouldn't let our daughters date.

Great response Joe, and as Joe already said I like this topic Noha.
Joe, the "new-build" Yaks that took over where the old numbers ended (or however the story goes) where do those fall in?
I was also reading about the Hughes H-1 recently, never knew that Jim Wright's was granted serial #2. Is this really considered a replica at that point? I guess the distinction is the fact that Hughes Aircraft built the first one and not Jim Wright's..?
http://eaavintage.org/about-us/categori ... standards/
Perhaps this is a good read? What is interesting is that a Flug Werk Fw-190 would not qualify as a replica in this definition as it does not conform exactly to the manufacturers plans. However a new build P-51, like “Lope’s Hope” did. However it was not judged as a replica. It’s interesting and a consistently imperfect way to categorize aircraft. While “Hope” was registered as a P-51 it was never in any way disassembled and restored/replaced to fit that other definition...

Jim Wright built as close as you could get and honored the extant original H-1 so strongly that anything other than continuation was not acceptable. The Ralph Rosanik P-6E Hawk is another one that comes to mind.
Industry and owners have learned to use the “continuation” term to describe these faithful latter day extensions of the production line.
At the end of it all, it’s probably not original paint. If it’s repainted is it with the correct paint, or a modern compound ext.. it can only be judged with the term “authentic” in many cases, in that it may appear to us as we think original MAY have looked like. There is no such thing as an “original” restoration. Once it’s restored it’s original character and innate authenticity are gone and replaced with a personal and individual interpretation of it. This is why original and untouched “stuff” is worth a mint in most other collectible arenas.

I've always disliked the term "replica" when used to describe any warbird (including WWI types) that has been built to original spec, that is in no way different to an original version of the type, where in which every part is the same/interchangeable, made of the same material and design, etc. I feel this way because the term "replica" is so widely used and thrown about, including being applied to smaller-scale aircraft that happen to have only the smallest/slightest likeness in appearance, and with not a single part in common to that for which it is being called a replica of (the press in the UK recently reported on the crash of a "replica Spitfire", that actually happened to be a Midget Mustang).
To me, the terms "reproduction" and "re-manufacture" are much more fitting and accurate when used to describe a new-build warbird, since it speaks to the fact that the parts/airframe have been re-produced to original production spec - not just a likeness, but the exact same as any other originally-produced example. I know certain other individuals feel the same, as I've seen some people on forums purposefully use the term "replica" in a derogatory/defamatory manner, rather than use another term like "reproduction" or "re-manufacture". Another term I like is "clone", which I also feel properly respects the work done/effort gone into making an exact copy. When it comes to all of the new-build P-40's, Mustangs, Spitfires, what have you, with original ID's attached, I also like the phrase that Jim Harley has used, that being that the aircraft is a "ghost of" the previous aircraft for which it claims to be.
To put it in perspective, I cringe when anyone refers to a Spitfire such as P9374 as a "replica", when it is the epitome of the most authentic Spitfires flying, as accurate/detailed as they get, and all the while the same term, "replica", is also used to describe any of the scaled-down, made of various materials, home-built Spitfires.
Looking through the EAA judging guidelines that Joe linked to, I can see that they even have trouble following their own standard/definition they have set. (BTW, since it has already been a subject included in this thread, I wouldn't say that the P-51C "Lope's Hope 3rd" is any more new build/reproduction than an aircraft such as the Collings Foundation's "Pearl Harbor" P-40B, to just throw out an example which I don't recall ever seeing referred to as a replica or reproduction, but is almost all newly-built as well.)

Oh boy, don't get me started on Boeing claiming the P-51 as part of their "heritage".
Seriously though. You reminded me of an attempt I made to try to determine at what point an aircraft should actually be considered a new model by laying out all the different scenarios. The subject is a bit different since it deals with the issue of model instead of replica/reproduction, but I figure that it is related enough to copy/paste my notes here:
Aircraft Name Change Hypotheticals
Company “A” designs, builds, and develops an improved version of an aircraft.
Company “A” design and builds an aircraft. Company “B” buys company “A” and develops an improved version of the aircraft.
e.g. Boeing E/A-18G Growler
Company “A” designs and builds an aircraft. Company “A” changes its name and develops an improved version of the aircraft.
e.g. Me 109
Company “A” designs, builds, and gives company “B” a license to build an aircraft.
e.g. TBM Avenger
Company “A” designs and builds an aircraft. Company “A” changes its name and continues to build the aircraft, but does not develop an improved version.
Company “A” designs and builds an aircraft. Company “B” buys some of the completed aircraft and remanufactures them.
e.g. Twin Navion, Bay Super V
Company “A” designs and builds an aircraft. Company “A” goes out of business. Company “B” buys the production rights to the aircraft and restarts production of the same version.
Company “A” designs and builds an aircraft. Company “A” goes out of business. Company “B” buys the rights to the aircraft and restarts production of an improved version.
e.g. Viking Air DHC-6 Series 400
Company “A” designs an aircraft. Company “B” builds it.
Company “A” is bought by company “B”. Company “B” continues to operate company “A” as a division of company “B”. Company “A” then designs and builds an aircraft.
e.g. Boeing-Stearman Model 75
Company “A” builds an aircraft. Company “B” buys company “A”. Company “B” buys back some of the aircraft built by company “A” and remanufactures them.
Owning a type certificate would seem to confer legitimacy in naming. However, the Federal Aviation Administration's rule that the manufacturer is whomever completes more than 50% of the work on the airframe seems to contradict this.
David H. Marion has written two absolutely excellent articles about when an aircraft should be judged to be one make and model or another.[1][2] They are a great look into an only rarely discussed aspect of aviation. Unfortunately, given his background as a mechanic, he only considers one potential arbiter of aircraft names – the FAA. However, looking at it from a historical – and not just a regulatory perspective – there are other sources of legitimacy.
As an aside; The Flugwerk “run” is more of a kit plane/replica as it is not authentic to the original structure, engineering or powerplant of the original. It’s not a new build 190, but a plane sold as a kit that replicates the look of an Fw-190. It is not authentic in many respects to the original.
I don't want to take this thread off topic, but to the best of my knowledge, the Flug Werk reproductions are (poor manufacturing quality aside) actually pretty authentic in terms of their structure. Except for the powerplant, wiring, and instruments, there is not much that is different (at least before any modifications by owners).
That being said, I do struggle to come up with a term to describe the work to complete the Flug Werk projects, as "restoration" is not an accurate descriptor since there are very little to no original parts.
The term reproduction generally applies to parts, for example, with a vintage Corvette a reproduction quarter panel or seat cover that accurately matches a 1967 part but was or is newly made is a reproduction.
So, if I understand what you're suggesting, it is that the term reproduction should apply only to parts?

This is exactly the type of distinction I was looking for. Thanks.
Coincidentally, if I were to use the strict definition of "reproduction" I mentioned above, they would be other warbird example that would be closest to qualifying. However, again, that is not really a definition anyone uses.
What's interesting to me is that, IIRC, the "new-build" Yaks were built with the help of some of the original factory workers. This would seem to confer additional legitimacy as "reproductions" since they would be constructed using the original techniques. (Which is something over and above modern restorers doing it according to the manuals. cf. Joe's comment about "defects") There is a reason that museums like NASM sent airframes back to be restored by original workers like those at Vought and Grumman.
http://eaavintage.org/about-us/categories/judging-standards
Excellent link, thanks for sharing!
What's interesting to me is that it contradicts shrike's automotive definition of a replica above, as in that case a replica was made by the factory, while according to the EAA a replica was not made by the factory.
What is interesting is that a Flug Werk Fw-190 would not qualify as a replica in this definition as it does not conform exactly to the manufacturers plans.
What category would a Flug Werk Fw 190 fit in? Or does it not fit in any of the categories? (Which I assume would make it ineligible for the competition.)
However a new build P-51, like “Lope’s Hope” did.
Again, not to go off topic, but I've never been quite clear what the starting point for Lope's Hope was. I'd always assumed that there was some small part of a carcass they based the restoration on, but I've never known for certain.

The thing about "re-manufacture" is that it is a term that is used to refer to airframes that have undergone significant amounts of rework during their original service careers – usually to zero-time the airframes. (e.g. F-14D(R) or C-45G/H) For that reason I feel like it could be confusing.
Location: Eastern Washington
For example if a Fallthorpe Snark competed at LeMans, the factory might make a dozen more cars to an identical specifcation (or nearly so) and and sell them as "Snark LeMans Replicas".
Which is exactly what the British firm Frazer-Nash (not to be confused with the American Kaiser-Frazer firm or Nash autos) did with its Le Mans and TT racers. It made Le Mans and TT Replicas. Note the capitalization of the R in replica, it's an official factory model name.
Since then, firms and fans have made Le Mans Replica replicas.
Happily, when it comes to warbirds, no one used the term much, most people pretend their Spitfire is "factory real" (to coin a phrase) even when it's airframe is 95% new. But having a data plate and a couple of old parts lets everyone (liscencing authorities, museums, owners and enthusiasts) pretend they are original when they are not.
Remember the vets, the wonderful planes they flew and their sacrifices for a future many of them did not live to see.
What will complicate matters is that each industry and each regulatory body will have a word, or definition of a word, unique to itself. That same word may have a very different meaning applied to a different industry or regulatory body.
"Certificated" is a classic example. It's not only unique to aviation, it's poor grammar elsewhere. Meaning built by someone with a certificate, and not certified to be anything.
"Remanufatured" has a specific definition compared to overhauled - which also has a discreet definition. In A/C engines at least, only the original manufacturer can remanufacture an engine. Which is essentially an overhaul with the history erased and a new number issued.
In FAA parlance, our shop is definitely NOT a manufacturer. However for shipping purposes, we are, because we can address damage to a shipment, rather than seek replacement from a distributor.
Not even gonna touch on "theory" inside and outside of scientific usage

Location: Caribou, Maine
The distinction between "replica" and "reproduction" that I learned from Leo Opdycke (of WWI Aero and Skyways magazines) and have always applied is that a replica is built by the company of original manufacture, while a reproduction is built by someone else.
As a case in point, the Smithsonian has a Curtiss Headless Pusher that was built by Glenn Curtiss as something of a nostalgic exercise after WWI. While this may include some original parts that were sitting around the shop, this is not an original pre-WWI pusher, as this was assembled after the war, but this is REAL Curtiss Pusher -- assembled by Glenn Curtiss at the Curtiss factory in NY. That I understand is a replica.
If I were to build a Curtiss Pusher to exact standards, even including some original parts, it would never be a "Curtiss" Pusher, because it was not built by the Curtiss factory (or Glenn Curtiss). Perhaps this might be referred to as a McCartney-Curtiss Pusher, but this could never be a Curtiss Curtiss-Pusher. It would instead be a reproduction of a Curtiss Pusher.
I have always accepted this use of "replica" because: 1) this makes a real distinction between replica and reproduction, and 2) the usage fills a genuine need, meaning is-the-real-thing-but-not-the-real-old-thing.

Interesting , usually taboo, subject
I was recently involved in a discussion about this.
An example, of the aprrox 58 flying Spitfires in the world, on abot 25-28 are actual Spitfires. The rest are brandnew except for the engine and some original instruments etc. . They are in reality replicas, not actual WW2 airframes.
The term "dataplate restoration" comes to mind and there are a lot of aircraft out there that are just that.
Take an airframe from the jungle, from saltwater , that came out of a beach in France, we all know that besides the dataplate ,in most cases, nothing is really re-useable. So essentially one uses the parts as patterns and build a new airplane
IMHO that makes it a replica of but NOT the original aircraft.
However , EAA feels different . At last years Osh a WW2 British Fighter ran away with a heck of a lot of awards and it is by all rights not an original example. It started out with a very badly corroded un-useable firewall. I know for fact an identity was purchased in the UK and attached to the project. EAA in their own rules now say that "replica warbirds " qualify for a Grand Champion Award .
Bottom line, if I was going to shell out millions for a WW1or 2 aircraft , I would sure want it to be REAL, and have some actual provenance .

This is a good discussion, and everyone brings up great points.
One of the things that made me smile was seeing Rajay’s name and his viewpoints cited earlier. I very much enjoy Dave and his knowledge of the Grumman seaplanes is beyond compare. It is also completely true that even the FAA has no idea about the accurate registration of vintage aircraft, no did they care for many years. They are starting to care now, but in a misguided way in my opinion. They should not kill this industry because of some potential liability that does not factually exist.
The “Pearl Harbor” P-40 was recovered from a mountainside, and if you look at the rebuild of the plane that was profiled in Warbird Digest, with pictures, that’s pretty much a textbook case of what we all dream of. They found an incomplete wreck. They found more wrecks, and then they started putting one together. As they did it, industry came up and met them halfway and the plane was completed. Other than the Paul Allen example, this one is the “next best” and most original in the world. Subsequent ones may be less so, but that aircraft is the one that was there. Which brings up the question any potential buyer needs to ask....”Where can I get another one?” If you can’t, or one does not exist anywhere in the world, than that’s instructive.
The ultimate arbiter in many ways is the marketplace, as informed buyers and informed sellers set and negotiate prices that reflect the originality, accuracy and provenance of these collectible goods. When we look at the actual sale prices for some of these artifacts, the truth becomes a bit more self evident. Look at the value of a completed Flug Werk 190. Look at the cost of an original BMW 801 Kraft Ei. What would Paul Allen’s original engine restored Fw-190A be worth? Probably 15 to 20 times what a “reproduction” could be worth. Look at the supply, originality and condition of each example and put yourself in a collector mentality with a bit of discretionary funds. What one would you chase?

They are not legally replicas, that is a label you have applied. Generally the registration and restoration reflects the view that the original aircraft has been resurrected.
You need to define the word REAL. What does that mean exactly? Does it mean original paint tires and factory supplied air in the tires? What about magnesium rivets? Original hardware? Does an operational repair of battle damage lower the value of a REAL aircraft? How bout a ground loop in 1946? 1976? 2019? It’s an impossible standard. There are only a couple original paint Spitfires in the world, unchanged in many ways from when they left service. They are generally state owned, and are more artifact then aircraft. They should never be destroyed by restoration or a misguided idea they should return to the air in my opinion.
So that leaves guys like me without desire to recover, restore and return one to the air. Maybe that’s a guy like you too. If I spend 20 years trying to do it, and lovingly craft each piece as originally done, incorporate an identity and parts I have scoured the world for, and make it exactly true to every other one extant..... Then it’s a gosh danged F’n Spitfire. To see PL983 flying again is inspiration for many. With her original windscreen and other things I think she is best called a restoration. She was restored to flight. Long may this practice continue.

The 30 Sexiest Gay Scenes In Film
Un Chant D'Amour
(A Song of Love)
dir. Jean Genet
"My favorite movie male-on-male love scene is one in which the male couple are separated by a cell wall but brought together by a straw and a shared lungful of smoke. Is this is a bad sign? Jean Genet's Un Chant D'Amour, his only movie, is set, of course, in a prison. A middle-aged prisoner knocks on his cell wall, frantically trying to attract the attention of his younger neighbor, who is dancing with himself in a dirty vest with a face as tender as it is tough. The old lag lights a cigarette, inserts a straw through a tiny hole, and blows smoke through it into the next cell. After studiously feigning disinterest, the young brute finally kneels at the wall, closed-eyed and open-mouthed, and receives the billowingn white smoke. It's a great, exquisitely poetic representation of the impossibility of romance—and even desire itself. To paraphrase Joni Mitchell, I've looked at glory holes from both sides now, from blower and inhaler, from younger and older, and still it's glory holes' illusions I recall."

CAPTION THIS:
A college boy rolls down his cargo shorts to expose his round, bare bum. He holds it up to the window of a car, where his friend is sitting in the driver’s seat and sticking his tongue out. Yup! That’s pretty much all that’s going on, and this faux-rimjob will serve as the subject for today’s round of Caption This.

Weber had his finger on the Hulse
Bruce Hulse
Born in Pennsylvania, Hulse was a pro basketball player overseas for a few years before being discovered by none other than Bruce Weber, who—let's face it—seems to only see the most beautiful things in this world and block out anything unpleasant or ordinary. An absolutely top draw in the '80's, he's considered by man to have among the trade's biggest icons. He's now a photographer who's aged as well as his work with Weber.

So cute it's spooky
This boyish blond hasn't been unemployed since making a splash in the soaps, which made him a staple of fan magazines. But what's really taken him to the next level is his cool appearance on Supernatural, where he shares a "Bo & Luke Duke" chemistry with fellow ghostbuster Jared Padalecki.

Pierre Mucker - Bulldog Pit
Pierre Mucker is an athletic, bearish type with muscular legs, a sturdy barrel chest and an uncut cock that just won’t quit. He’s not what you've come to expect from gay porn site Bulldog Pit, but hell, he’s also not what you've come to expect from gay porn in general. His hairline’s receding, his bald spot’s prominent, and it would be safe to say he’s not as traditionally handsome as Paddy O’Brian… But who needs “traditionally handsome” when you’ve got a mature, confident man who stays active and knows what he wants out of life?
In this particular case, Pierre wants to go for a bike ride and jerk off in a park. Spoiler alert! He gets so damn horny that, after busting his load and heading home, he calls up his long-time fuck buddy Joachim and gives his hole a workout. You can watch that clip here if you’re interested.

5 Perfect Underwear Prom Kings
Remember those prom days? Headed to your own prom? Either way, prom can be good or bad. If you ask us, however, the best kind of prom is an underwear prom, and we’re making it a reality right NOW. Yeah, that’s right, and what’s an underwear prom without a prom king?
Below we’ve laid out some options, they are our 5 most perfect nominees for underwear prom king. Check out our top 5 and let us know which guy you’d take to prom!
To be totally honest, Harry Styles is probably the one guy every high-schooler wants to take to prom. Just be careful his sequined underwear doesn’t totally steal the show (but we’re actually hoping it does)!
Joshua Michael Brickman
Because Joshua Michael Brickman’s abs are practically 3D in this shot by Jorge Freire, we’re going to assume he’s got a well-built character to match his well-built torso; underwear prom king indeed.
Rodiney Santiago
We saw Rodiney Santiago working out in a rundown warehouse in this photo shoot with Leo Castro, but don’t worry, as underwear prom king he would never take you to a creepy warehouse. Or would he?
Mike Stalker
We talked to Mike Stalker in our exclusive interview with the fitness model, and don’t worry folks, he’s still got a great, modest and gentlemanly vibe to him. He could totally don the underwear prom king crown.
Rob Evans is one of our favorite Irish models, and there’s rumors he even dated Tyra Banks. If he’s good enough for Tyra, we think he’s good enough for underwear prom king!

5 Celebrities Manning Up In Meggings
Let’s face it, these days the fashion industry evolves through gender thievery. First, men decided they liked the fit of women’s jeans, so designers responded with skinny jeans for men. Then, girlfriends and wives alike discovered that their partner’s clothes were more comfortable, and out popped Boyfriend Jeans, Boyfriend Tees, and Boy Shorts. Now, the men have made their retaliation with Meggings.
Yes – you guessed it – man leggings have officially arrived. Hide your kids, hide your wife (or at least her underwear drawer), because we are about to see much more man-thigh than we are accustomed to in the years to come.
The arrival of Meggings also means that men’s underwear will need to adjust with the times. We can barely squeeze our skinnys over a pair of briefs. So the next evolution of underwear will need to cling to us tighter than saran wrap.
To kick off this historic evolution in menswear, we've collected a gallery of 5 Celebrities Manning Up in Meggings. These fashion-forward guys are some of the first Hollywood hotshots to show a little leg – okay, a whole lot of leg! Check out our five brave guys below and then check outside. You may see a pair of Meggings walking down the street.
Conan O’Brien:
Conan O’Brien showcases his Man-Jeggings here. Werrrk, Conan!
Leave it to the Biebs to wear animal print Meggings.
Lenny Kravitz:
Lenny Kravitz is no stranger to tight pants, so Meggings are right up is alley.
Lil Wayne:
Of course Lil Wayne is the first to low-ride his Meggings.
Russell Brand:
Russell Brand accents his Meggings with flip flops and shades.

Nine Gayest Moments Of James Franco’s Career
Of all the many times James Franco has loosely confirmed his gayness, the most compelling evidence came from a photo he leaked on Instagram. As you can see, James Franco is clearly canoodling with another man and it looks pretty authentic. Only a man in love would use Microsoft Paint like that.

CHARMING NAKED DUDE GIFS BY MYNO
From: Manhunt Daily
You may have noticed that Horny Toons has been getting a ton of press since we first wrote about him. The blog, however, mysteriously disappeared over the past few weeks! My guess is, it was a copyright issue with the photographers or the companies who own the various fictional characters… But who knows what happened? Maybe the person who created these awesome GIFs became overwhelmed by all the attention and feared they couldn't handle life in the spotlight.
Thankfully, we have some original GIFs courtesy of The Myno’s Blog, a site dedicated to “comics, illustrations, fan art, hairy dudes and fun shit”. It should be noted (for no good reason) that the artist himself is quite handsome. More importantly, he’s got some playful, naked animations that are appropriate for all sorts of occasions. Consider us fans.

Tom Hardy - Esquire - May 2014
Tom Hardy rips his shirt off for this month's Esquire in advance of his new film Locke, and tells the magazine that the rough image he projects isn't all he's cracked up to be:
"I have always been frightened with men. To the point where I couldn't go into a gym because of the testosterone and I felt weak. I don't feel very manly. I don't feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how i imagine a man ought to be. So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality. People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them. I'm not a fighter. I'm a petite little bourgeosis boy from London. I don't fight, I mimic."

It’s National Siblings Day! Who Are The Hottest Hollywood Brothers?
It’s National Siblings Day! No, I didn’t just make this up so I could do this post, it’s actually real.
While we figure out our own ways to celebrate our brothers and sisters today (I think I’ll send my sister a bouquet of dandelions to honor our favorite childhood game “Momma had a baby and its head popped off, let’s take a look at some our favorite Hollywood brothers. They may not be equally famous, but they all prove that blood is thicker than Twitter followers.
Oh, and they’re all hot.
Luke, Liam, And Chris Hemsworth
While Liam and Chris hog the Hollywood spotlight, Luke has carved out his own successful career on Australian TV, most notably on Neighbors. And he’s thankfully managed to steer clear of the sad sibling rivalry between his younger brothers.

These Synthetic Sex Dolls Are The Strangest Thing You’ll See Today
U.S. company Synthetics makes “the most beautiful and the highest quality silicone manikins in the world.” Totally NSFW because doll nudity can be incredibly realistic.
Here’s one staring wistfully out of a window.
Here’s one just letting it all hang out.
Here’s a foot.
Here’s one modelling a hat.
And here’s one with quite a big wang.
He likes you. And he has weird tan lines.
This one’s an intellectual.
This one’s just standing outside and taking himself in hand.
So this one, but he’s got a ludicrously big schlong..
This one has kind of a sultry, 1970s lounge lizard vibe.
He looks like he’s going to take control of the situation.
It’s business time, he’s saying.

The Titans ruled out Brown and wide receiver Adam Humphries for Saturday night's game. Humphries will miss a sixth straight game with an ankle injury.
Brown played about 10 snaps last week in a 20-13 wild-card victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots before hurting his shoulder. Brown's speed will be missed as the Titans defend Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Cornerback Adoree Jackson practiced fully after missing the past two days. He will be available for a second straight game after missing four games with a foot injury.
Returner and wide receiver Kalif Raymond practiced fully for a second straight day and will be available after missing the past two games because of a concussion.

I see that the Democrats in Congress have bargained away the parts of the stimulus package that would actually, you know, stimulate. If you want a shot of cash to have an effect in the economy, you want to give it to people who will spend it all: poor people and unemployed people. Instead, cowards in Congress have given in to the foolish, and so any effect of the stimulus will be diluted to the extent that any of us put it in the bank. Ideology triumphs over reality once again.

Tax Expenditure Report
Look! It's online!
A "tax expenditure" is only a name for a tax break. Our tax code is lousy with them (Did you know that boat manufacturers don't have to pay sales tax on promotional literature printing costs? Did you know that you can brew 100,000 barrels of beer before there is a tax on your income from it?), but until recently they haven't been catalogued. Even now, only about 40% of the breaks have a price associated with them. But it's an entertaining read (in the eye-rolling sense).

US and China will sign the Paris deal – raising hopes for ICAO agreement on MBM in September
Date added: April 2, 2016
China and the US, the world’s two leading carbon polluters, have said they plan to formally join the Paris climate agreement in April. In a joint statement, they agreed to sign the historic deal to cut CO2 emissions and take “respective domestic steps” to approve it as “early as possible this year.” They also urge other nations to follow suit. The support from these two means the Paris deal is closer to coming into force. Over 55% of global carbon emissions and 55 countries must formally join for the Paris Agreement to apply from 2020. China and the US account for about 40%. The US Environmental Defense Fund said that support this year for a global market-based measure to address greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation is also very important. “A strong agreement at the 2016 ICAO Assembly is one of the top global priorities for climate change this year — and a key part of President Obama’s legacy.” They hope the Chinese and US commitment may encourage other countries in ICAO to act, and open a pathway to resolving the key question of how to share, fairly, the responsibilities for offsetting future aviation emissions. There are only 190 days till the conclusion of the ICAO Assembly in Montreal.
US-China announcement significant step toward turning promise of Paris into reality
By the Environmental Defense Fund – in the USA
“This announcement is the latest confirmation that the world’s two largest economies and two largest emitters are committed to working together in the fight against climate change.
“U.S.-China cooperation was critical to reaching the landmark climate agreement in Paris last December — and will be equally crucial to implementing it. By announcing they will sign the Paris Agreement next month in New York, and urging other nations to follow their lead, the two countries are taking a significant step toward turning the promise of Paris into reality.
“Equally important is the support for other multilateral efforts, in particular the adoption this year of a global market-based measure to address greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation. A strong agreement at the 2016 International Civil Aviation Organization Assembly is one of the top global priorities for climate change this year — and a key part of President Obama’s legacy. Today’s renewed sign of commitment from the U.S. and China should strengthen the resolve of other countries in ICAO — and open a pathway to resolving the key question of how to share, fairly, the responsibilities for offsetting future aviation emissions. The clock is ticking, with only 190 days left until the conclusion of the ICAO Assembly in Montreal.”

US and China to sign Paris climate deal in April
Countries responsible for 40% of world’s carbon emissions to formally approve historic pact and pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5C, reports Climate Home
By Alex Pashley for Climate Home, part of the Guardian Environment Network
Friday 1 April 2016 (Guardian)
China and the United States, the world’s two leading carbon polluters, said on Thursday they planned to formally join the Paris climate agreement in 2016.
In a joint statement, the major powers agreed to sign the historic deal to cut carbon emissions at a UN ceremony in April, and take “respective domestic steps” to approve it as “early as possible this year.”
The countries’ support brings the pact struck last December much closer to coming into force, and marking their commitment to drive efforts to slash greenhouse gases.
Over 55% of global carbon emissions and 55 countries must formally join for it to apply from 2020. China and the US account for about 40%.
Brian Deese, special adviser on climate change to President Obama said swift approval would keep efforts to curb emissions on track.
“The two largest economies and two largest emitters are saying we are not going to wait, not just sign on the first day, but join much more quickly than has been historical practice,” he told a press briefing.
Coming on the sidelines of a nuclear summit in Washington DC, the announcement also stated a commitment to clinch agreements to phase down super-warming gases and on aviation emissions.
A US-China deal struck in September 2014 is credited with igniting momentum on climate change in the build-up to Paris. China committed to peak its emissions “around 2030”, while the US pledged a 26-28% cut by 2025 compared with 2005 levels.
Deese dismissed concerns that the stalled nature of the US’ flagship climate policy, the clean power plan, would erode trust in its ability to meet its commitments.
And with a slew of climate records broken in recent months, outgoing US climate envoy Todd Stern said speed was now essential. “Paris gives us a chance, it puts us on the right path … There’s no time to lose,” he said.
Liz Gallagher, head of climate diplomacy at UK advocacy group E3G said the relationship was instrumental in securing a strong outcome in Paris.
“It’s fantastic that this relationship is continuing. They won’t be the first off the starting blocks, as Fiji, Palau and the Marshall Islands are off,” she said.
“But China and the US are certainly the biggest and it really gets us over the first hurdle, we now need others to limber up and come on in.”
Alden Meyer, director of policy and strategy at the US Union for Concerned Scientists said: “Their joint commitment to join the Paris agreement ‘as early as possible this year’ sends a strong signal to other countries, as does the mention of continuing efforts by both countries to steer investment flows away from carbon-intensive technologies like coal.
“Given China’s current leadership role in the G20, the call for “strong climate and clean energy outcomes” at the Hangzhou summit in September is also significant, though much work remains to be done to achieve those outcomes.”
Greenpeace China climate policy analyst Li Shuo welcomed the countries’ cooperation on efforts to regulate aviation emissions ahead of a crunch meeting in Montreal in September.
“Challenging questions in the Montreal process, ICAO’s effort to regulate emissions from international aviation, and the G20 can not be unlocked without close cooperation between China and the US. We look forward to see this bilateral relationship contributing to these processes in the same way it helped to achieve the successful outcome of the Paris agreement.”

Coral Bay's workers and business owners living in 'third-world' conditions
By Ben Collins
Western Australia's tiny tourist hotspot of Coral Bay has been struggling for over a decade through a tangle of bureaucracy to provide workers' accommodation and a sustainable future.
A sticky web of state, local government and environmental regulations combined with limited private land ownership has left Coral Bay's workers and business owners living rough and under threat of prosecution.
In 2004 the state government first announced plans for workers' accommodation to be built on land owned by the Baiyungu Aboriginal Corporation.
Agreements were signed in 2007 and 2010 by both parties to progress the project. In 2011 accommodation was built for 70 workers, but this did little to solve the bigger problem of providing suitable accommodation for the town's 220 workers and business owners.
It's left the majority of Coral Bay residents living in a section of one of the town's caravan parks locally known as 'Little Kenya' in conditions the Minister for Planning John Day, described as "pretty well third world" to Hilary Smale on ABC North West WA.
ABC North West WA toured Little Kenya with local business owner Graham Kay.
"There's no roads, there's no drainage, the place floods. We've even had fires from the electrical works," he said.
Long term resident and business owner Joe Eveson told ABC North West WA's Alexia Attwood that stringent environmental regulations are to blame for the conditions he and his wife are forced to live in.
"There's this preoccupation with managing this pristine piece of coastline at World Heritage iconic standard and all that sort of thing. They must think that people climb out from underneath a rock to make a cup of coffee or something."
Conditions recently became tougher for Coral Bay residents who have been reluctant to improve housing in Little Kenya with the expectation of the long promised new housing. But now the Shire of Carnarvon has said that many dwellings in Little Kenya are unsafe and breach regulations.
But Mr Kay said Coral Bay residents don't want to repair housing that is supposed to have been superseded years earlier.
"They're trying to make us dismantle everything and rebuild it; it's going to be a great expense. Why rebuild something that's going to have to be rebuilt again? They won't give us a permanent solution."
Times of change
Coral Bay's ongoing accommodation problem comes from the rapidly changing fortunes of the area over the last 50 years. It was just a small part of Cardabia sheep and cattle station until formal settlement began in 1968 with a hotel, caravan park and service station at what was then known as Bill's Bay.
In 1987 the state government designated the area as part of the Ningaloo Marine Park, and in 2011 the area was listed as a World Heritage site.
Minister Day said the high conservation status has led to a policy to restrict the size of Coral Bay by only permitting workers to live in the settlement.
"There has been some pressure to allow more flexibility under the planning scheme to provide for permanent residential accommodation at Coral Bay - in other words people who are no longer working there - and that would be problematical... It is quite environmentally constrained and there's a general presumption that it would not become a so-called 'normalised' town."
The Minister acknowledged the more pressing problem of accommodating workers and business owners.
"I completely agree with the sentiments that have been expressed. Little Kenya, as it's known, is far from ideal, it's pretty well third-world."
He said the State Government is keen to finally resolve the issue, but the history of Coral Bay has made a solution difficult to find.
"I agree that the planning arrangements in Coral Bay overall are a long way from ideal. If we were starting from scratch these days in developing Coral Bay, I don't think it would ever be privatised in the way that's happened over the last 30 or 40 years."
The Baiyungu Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) is waiting for the Department of Housing to respond to a development proposal that they have submitted. The organisation's project manager, Noel Bridge, said BAC is ready to start building new accommodation when they get the go-ahead.
"We're keen now to finalise this arrangement with the State Government... Let's conclude this discussion and get housing built forthwith."
In the meantime the State Administrative Tribunal will travel to Coral Bay next week to try and mediate a solution for residents being ordered to rebuild structures in Little Kenya.
Newsagent owner Lisa Eveson hopes that government is finally understanding the gravity of the situation for Coral Bay.
"You can't find a place for prospective employees to actually live... How can a town run without somewhere for people to live?"

'Aamad' Review: A short film by Neeraj Udhwani that tugs at the heartstrings
Murtaza Ali Khan 7:27:00 PM Aamad , Abeer Pandit , Arif Zakaria , Charu Rohatgi , entertainment , india , indie , movie review , Neeraj Udhwani , Saqib Saleem , short film , youtube Edit
Making an engaging short film is always a challenge. For, the maker is severely bounded by time. Traditionally a film is supposed to have three acts viz. Setup, Confrontation, and Resolution. This allows the drama to have its ebbs and flows. In the first act, the characters are introduced and the relationships are established. The main character (often referred to as the protagonist) encounters an inciting incident that marks the beginning of his/her journey on the collision path. In the second act, the protagonist attempts to resolve the situation only to face a major setback that leaves him/her in a tight spot. The protagonist perhaps is not yet equipped to deal with the enormity of the challenge. By the time we enter the third act the protagonist is a changed person. He/she has either acquired some new skill or a friend or a higher sense of awareness needed to overcome the final obstacle. So, naturally time is essential to telling a good story. And that’s precisely why making good short films is never an easy proposition.
In the recent times short films have been witnessing a healthy trend. Earlier short films were mostly associated with students and aspiring filmmaker but today there are being made on a professional scale. YouTube has certainly been a game changer in this regard. Not only does it provide a platform for these films but is also allows monetization possible. In other words the makers can hope to recover the cost in a longer run. I recently came across a short film called Aamad on a YouTube Channel called ‘Terribly Tiny Talkies’. Written and directed by Neeraj Udhwani (who wrote the Ashima Chibber-directed comedy Mere Dad Ki Maruti), Aamad offers an interesting take on the father son relationship. The short film stars Saqib Saleem, Arif Zakaria, Charu Rohatgi and Abeer Pandit. Now during my research I found out that ‘Aamad’ is not only an Urdu word meaning arrival but it also has an interesting connotation in connection to a popular Indian classical dance form. In Kathak ‘Aamad’ marks the initiation of the spoken rhythms which also signal the entry of the performer. The fact that the short film shares a close association with Kathak makes its title quite relevant.
In a short duration of 12 minutes, Aamad succeeds in telling a touching story of a father who is keen on training his son as a Kathak dancer. The father is a Kathak maestro like his father before and wants to keep the family tradition alive. But his stubborn son seems to have other ideas which bring ultimate humiliation for the father. Years later, the son, now settled in the US, returns home to find his estranged father on his deathbed. Seeing his father lying helpless on a hospital bed he is overcome by a sense of nostalgia and guilt. Aamad handles with utmost delicacy the tender and often painful relationship that universally exists between a father and a son. The performances are superb with the veteran Arif Zakaria playing the role of the father with great conviction. The younger and the elder versions of the son are played equally well by Abeer Pandit and Saqib Saleem, respectively. The latter’s Kathak performance next to his father’s deathbed ends up giving goosebumps. Overall, Aamad makes for an engaging short film that succeeds in tugging at our heartstrings.

China's blacklisted AI firms: what you should know
http://www.24pakistan.com/business/chinas-blacklisted-ai-firms-what-you-should-know/37750-news October 13, 2019 122
BEIJING (AFP) – The Chinese high-tech companies blacklisted by Washington over alleged ties to rights abuses are rising stars in China’s ambitious drive to overtake the United States in the technology sector.
They make surveillance cameras, facial recognition software and other technology that has become ubiquitous in Xinjiang, the heavily policed northwestern region where an estimated one million mostly Muslim minorities, like ethnic Uighurs, are held in internment camps.
The eight firms were added on Monday to a list of 28 entities that US companies are barred from selling components to without government approval.
Here is a look at the companies targeted:
One of the world’s largest suppliers of surveillance equipment, Hikvision is the poster child of Chinese tech firms benefiting from Xinjiang’s booming security apparatus.
In 2017, it won at least five security-related contracts totalling 1.85 billion yuan ($260 million) in Xinjiang -- including a "social prevention and control system" featuring tens of thousands of cameras.
But the company also has a global presence, with nearly 30 percent of its revenue last year coming from outside China.
Hikvision has said the US listing lacks "factual basis", and downplayed its impact in a conference call aimed at investors and media on Wednesday.
"Currently, the majority of US components can all be directly replaced or replaced with new designs," said board secretary Huang Fanghong.
"If it’s necessary, we will design our own chips."
An AI company backed by e-commerce giant Alibaba, Megvii’s facial recognition technology is used across a broad range of applications in China, from "smile to pay" mobile payments to identifying individuals for law enforcement.
The firm plans to launch an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong but one of its joint sponsors, Goldman Sachs, said it was "evaluating" its role in the wake of the blacklisting.
Megvii said the US move "reflects a misunderstanding of our company".
Only one percent of its 2018 revenue was from projects in Xinjiang, and no revenue was generated from the region in the first six months of 2019, it added.
In April, the New York Times reported that several Chinese AI firms, including Megvii, Yitu, and SenseTime, were behind software used to racially profile and track Uighurs.
According to media reports, former US vice president and presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who has been accused by President Donald Trump of corruption, is a director at BHR Partners, a fund that invested in Megvii.
SenseTime is backed by an illustrious list of investors, including SoftBank, Alibaba, and US chipmaker Qualcomm.
Founded by MIT alumnus Tang Xiao’ou -- a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong -- the AI company develops facial and image recognition applications, such as crowd monitoring and identity verification for lending apps.
The firm has a research lab in Silicon Valley and is partnering with universities around the world, including MIT, on AI research.
In an emailed statement, MIT said it would "review all existing relationships" with organisations added to Washington’s entity list, and "modify any interactions, as necessary".
SenseTime said it was "deeply disappointed" by the blacklisting and would "work closely with all relevant authorities to fully understand and resolve the situation".
Dahua Technology is another leading video surveillance equipment provider with an increasing footprint overseas and has projects in Brazil, Italy, and other countries.
According to its 2018 financial report, about 36 percent of the Shenzhen-listed company’s revenue came from abroad.
In August, the US also formally banned Dahua and Hikvision, along with telecom giant Huawei and other firms, from obtaining government contracts.
Meiya Pico
Meiya Pico, a digital forensics company, drew scrutiny from rights groups after security researchers said the firm was behind "MFSocket" -- an app that enables police to extract contacts, messages, and other personal data from smartphones.
Yitu
Yitu Technology has developed apps for facial and speech recognition, such as identity authentication at banks, cancer screening, and monitoring transport hubs to assist law enforcement.

The knife crime epidemic and the Criminal law
Twanieka Alcindor
For those of us who follow the national media, the recent headlines may have become too familiar ‘Man in 20’s fatally stabbed’. The harrowing details that follow the headline will describe the events which led to yet another young person losing their life to knife-crime in the capital.
National debate has asked two key questions. Firstly, ‘how do we stop knife-crime?’ and secondly, ‘who is to blame for it?’.
In 2018 alone there were 134 homicides in London, up from the 116 in the year of 2017, stated to be the highest number of homicides recorded in the capital in the last decade. Sadly, within the first six hours of 2019 two people were fatally stabbed in separate incidents around the capital.
Many critics have blamed the cuts to police funding, video games with violent content, lack of male role models or out of school activities or community projects being available in the most socially disadvantaged areas to ‘give the youth somewhere to go’. Whilst others have blamed middle class recreational drug use for fuelling post code-gang wars due to the large amount of drug dealing in across smaller geographical areas, or the larger now famous county lines which some say prey upon the youth removed from mainstream education who attend Personal Referral Units. Regardless of who is to blame, the capital agrees that the rise in knife crime is of grave concern.
On the 1 June 2018 a new sentencing guideline was introduced by the Sentencing Council. It sought to both consolidate the law on the issues of knife-crime and ‘ensure that those offenders convicted of offences involving knifes or particularly dangerous weapons as well as those who repeatedly offend will receive the highest sentences’.
The new guideline applies to offences of:
Possession of an offensive weapon in a public place
Possession of an article with a blade/ point in a public place
Possession of an offensive weapon on school premises
Possession of an article with a blade/ point on school premises
Unauthorised possession in prison of a knife or offensive weapon (adult guideline only)
Threatening with an offensive weapon in a public place
Threatening with an article with a blade/ point in a public place
Threatening with an article with a blade/ point on school premises
Threatening with an offensive weapon on school premises
The guideline applies to adults over the age of 18 and those under the age of 18.
The key development in the sentencing guidelines has been mandatory sentences:
Where an offender is convicted of a second (or further) bladed article/ offensive weapon offence the court must impose a mandatory minimum sentence of 6 months' imprisonment for an adult or 4 months' Detention and Training Order for a youth (under 18), unless satisfied that there are circumstances relating to the offence or the offender that make it unjust to do so in all of the circumstances.
Where an offender is convicted of threatening with a bladed article/ offensive weapon the court must impose a mandatory minimum sentence of 6 months' imprisonment for an adult or 4 months' Detention and Training Order for a youth (under 18), unless satisfied that there are circumstances relating to the offence or the offender that make it unjust to do so in all of the circumstances.
The guidelines therefore provide that those who use knives or highly dangerous weapons to threaten will receive the most severe sentences, in this case greater than a six month custodial sentence (for those over 18).
Whilst the guidelines ensures that in deciding in whether it is just to grant the mandatory sentence the court must consider
Strong personal mitigation
Whether there is a strong prospect of rehabilitation
Whether custody will result in significant impact on others
It is now very clear that the courts are taking offending of this nature very seriously, and arguably this should assist in acting as a deterrent to offending of this nature, but does it answer the remaining question, ‘how do we stop knife crime?’
Leading MP’s have debated this topic at great length within the last year. With some suggestions that punishing the youth for their involvement in knife crime, coupled with tougher sentences for such offenders, achieves only half the battle, particularly in light of the cuts to police funding, and the increase in large criminal drugs organisations.
The argument that these youth are resulting to violence as a means to ensure that they are able to carry out their roles as drug-runners at the bottom of the food chain for large organised criminal enterprises, still begs the question as to how the youth are protected from such exploitation generally.
Arguably, what may remain as an area for further exploration, is the reasons why and circumstances in which the youth who end up in the UK courts for knife related offending, who have also been victims of exploitation by criminal enterprises, were vulnerable to such exploitation in the first place.

Film: The Road Warrior
A strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller’s post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth.

A strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller’s post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like the Star Wars trilogy (by that other George) the Mad Max films draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But when a leather-clad gang of sadomasochistic speed demons mows down Max’s family, his remaining connections to humanity are also permanently severed. After brutally exacting his revenge, Max wanders off into the wasteland alone, “a burned out shell of a man” who (to paraphrase The Searchers) is destined to wander forever between the winds. In The Road Warrior, Max rediscovers a sliver of his shattered humanity, and a spark of redemption, when he helps an embattled colony of pioneers fight off the savages who are after that most precious of all commodities: “guzzline.” Max is transformed into a legendary hero, just as Mel Gibson was catapulted to international movie stardom. With its final stirring images, The Road Warrior transcends its genre (whatever that may be—science fiction? Western? action adventure?) and becomes something timeless. It’s a great movie. —Jim Emerson
Picture life after the apocalypse, and most likely, the vision will be the one found in director George Miller’s high-octane sequel to 1979’s Mad Max: the image of the Australian outback as a ravaged wasteland populated by packs of car-crazed nomads has imprinted itself indelibly on moviegoers’ imaginations. In Road Warrior, the western goes punk, and the lone horseman becomes a leather-clad Mel Gibson tooling across a barren frontier in his car, defending a ragtag band of survivors from the tribe of ruthless scavengers who want their oil. Led by a faceless, magnum-armed giant known as Humungus, these savages battle settlers, not for land or livestock, but for fuel—it is car culture taken to its most violent extreme, and director George Miller’s riveting, breakneck-speed car chases are legendary. Mel Gibson, in the role that catapulted him to international stardom, is perfect as the stoic drifter; with Road Warrior, his Max entered the pantheon of mythic movie heroes. Regina Raiford

Rules Near for Renewables on Farms and Open Space
The struggle between open space and renewable energy is playing out on Rhode Island farms.
Some farmers see wind turbines and solar fields as a boost to their modest and often unpredictable income. They say renewable energy can keep a farm practicing traditional agriculture instead of being forced to sell farmland — a tempting option given that Rhode Island farmland is the most expensive in the country.
“It’s been very difficult to make a living farming,” said Bill Stamp of Stamp Farms in Cranston and Exeter. “You need to advent change to survive.”
Stamp spoke at a recent hearing for a proposed rule change to the state program that gives farmland a break on property taxes.
The proposed rule, passed by the General Assembly in 2017, allows farms in the Farm, Forest and Open Space program to install wind and solar projects on 20 percent of their land without triggering a land-use tax, a process called “dual use.”
Not all farms are allowed to install commercial-scale solar and wind, meaning they generate revenue by selling the renewable electricity a farm doesn’t use for its own needs. Any open space protected by a state conservation easement or through the sale of its development rights is prohibited from installing utility-scale wind and solar projects.
Andrea Panciera of Russet Valley Farm, a 230-acre hay and beef cattle farm in Hopkinton, supports dual use on protected land where the development rights have been sold. She sees local farmers installing solar on land that isn’t protected and wants the same option.
“If you can do this on one farm, I think you should be able to do it on all farms,” Panciera said.
Renewable energy is just another form of farming, she said. “Alternative-energy structures are harvesting, farming, solar farms, and energy.”
This debate is playing out in rural communities such as Hopkinton and cities with large pockets of open space such as Cranston. Municipalities have the final say in siting regulations, but the state is trying to establish standard rules by holding public hearings to set solar guidelines that communities can adopt as their own. A bill to make the process mandatory passed the state House of Representatives this year but was never heard by the Senate.
Tess Brown-Lavoie of Sidewalk Ends Farm on the city’s West Side worried that increasing the 20 percent threshold would reduce the amount of prime farmland in the state and make farming more prohibitive for newer farmers who typically lease land. Young farmers, Brown-Lavoie said, wouldn’t have the benefit of renewable-energy revenue.
Loren Thurn of Our Kids Farm in Exeter wanted the changes to allow unfarmed land such as woodlands to be included in the percentage of land eligible for solar and wind projects. He supported growing crops, such as potted plants, and keeping livestock on land under and around solar arrays.
“It’s something we need to do a lot more research on. It’s a very definite part of our future,” Thurn said.
A letter submitted by the American Farmland Trust, Audubon Society of Rhode Island, Conservation Law Foundation, Rhode Island Land Trust Council, Land For Good, and Save The Bay requested several changes to the proposed rule. The group has asked the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), or conservation districts, to perform annual reviews of conservation plans, which are required to receive the state farm and open space designation.
Currently, no entity checks on whether farms are complying with their conservation plans and there are no set standards for what is required in a conservation plan, according to the letter.
The environmental groups asked that buffers, access roads, and infrastructure for renewable-energy projects be included in the 20 percent land-use calculation. They noted that vegetation, not crushed stone, should be grown around and under renewable projects. They suggested that the projects limit disruption to farmland and open space and the landscaped buffers make the land appear natural to neighbors.
Ken Ayars, chief of DEM’s Division of Agriculture, said the point of the new rule is to support both agriculture and renewable energy.
“Finding that balance is very important but ultimately we cannot allow degradation of the underlying soil and lose its capacity to be a viable farm,” Ayars said.
The comment period for the proposed rule changes ended Oct. 24. DEM can now file the new rules with the secretary of state, file the rules and regulations with minor changes, don’t file the rule changes and let the exiting rule stand, or make new changes and hold another public hearing.

Exclusive: Nikki Sinclaire quits EFD group in EU Parliament
We have just had it confirmed that Nikki Sinclaire MEP has resigned from the Europe of Freedom & Democracy (EFD) group in the EU Parliament.
Nikki was uncomfortable with the EFD group from day one for understandable reasons. Some of the members of the EFD group are, if not homophobic, not exactly complimentary of homosexuality.
There are 27 countries in the European Empire and what may be considered unacceptable to most people in one country isn't necessarily considered unacceptable to most people in another country and in the case of some of UKIP's Eastern European partners in the EFD group, their views on homosexuality are a case in point.
I can fully understand Nikki's feelings on the group although it's a shame no compromise could be found that would have enabled her to stay in the EFD grouping with her fellow UKIP MEPs. I am sure she will continue to work for UKIP, for the country and most importantly, for the people in the West Midlands that voted for her to represent them in the EU Parliament.
Edit: Apologies for the post disappearing overnight, I assume it was deleted in error.

What an idiot this Nikki Sinclaire is. UKIP is in the middle of its 2010 General Election Campaign.
And she starts rocking the boat by resigning from the group that UKIP belongs to in the European Parliament.
If there is one thing the voters hate it is a divided party.
This could cost UKIP a lot of votes in the 2010 General Election.
It was Robert Kilroy-Silk leaving the party just before the 2005 General Election that caused a split in the party.
I have only joined Ukip recently but what Niiki Sinclaire has done(and rightly so) has only served to confirm what I was seeing happening within the EDF grouping. If you read her resignation letter you will see it has come about because of the Racist and undemocratic views of some members of that grouping. Not only that it is clear to me and I sense many others that Mr Farage has his own agenda which includes these disreputable members. Yes it is election year. But I for one would not vote for,nor support any party that keeps such bad company.. Good on you Nikki..
Darren said...
As a UKIP member I wish to show my full support for this decision, I joined and support UKIP not EFD, if any of our mep's do not wish to sit in this group I will back them, as long as they stay and fight for UKIP and the UK
Those cretins in the other parties will want to blow this up out of all proportion.
Nikki, if you are reading this, please get a grip, keep mum, and let's attack the enemy.
Never forget the people who worked hard to put you in your position.
Don't blow it.
Director said...
UKIP is a libertarian- it should not be part of a group with homophobes. As the biggest party in the EDF UKIP should be asserting its authority and disciplining members of the group who are homophobic.
There's nothing Libertarian about UKIP at the moment.
Stasi maybe. As for Lord Pearson's video on free thinkers wanted what a laugh that's turning out to be
"Keep Mum". "Let's attack the enemy". Let's just focus on who the "Enemy"is! There is and old saying. "Evil flourishes,when good men do nothing". To keep "Mum" about a group that contains such blatant Racists and turn a blind eye to an ex-party leaders behavior smacks to me of something we have been telling the country that the major parties are guilty of. "Hypocrisy" How is it that we want to expose the faults of the EU but hide our own? Incredible!!

EFD Platform states that
"Peoples and Nations of Europe have the right to protect their borders and
The Group rejects xenophobia, anti-Semitism and any other form of discrimination.
Group respects the freedom of its delegations and Members to vote as they see fit."
Nikki Sinclaire is criticising a group that only exists in her mind, most certainly not the EFD group that really is.
She has to get over her disappointment of not being voted leader of UKIP.
Timing is bad, action is purile.
Greg_L-W. said...
The Pub Consultancy Service said...
'Group respects the freedom of its delegations and Members to vote as they see fit."'
I suggest you read the agenda of the individual groups before criticising Nikki's actions, your comment above clearly indicates that collectively responsibility is not an issue for group members.
I am beginning to think that morality, integrity and truth is being sacrifice for personal gain, by some in this party as certain posts indicate.
Nikki is to be applauded for her actions. Voters in the country will see such an action, against the back drop of a politically system both here and in Europe which is morally bankrupt.
Any suggestion that Nikki is acting with anything other than integrity is demonstrating the moral bankruptcy of those concerned.
Nikki Sinclaire may have done the right thing according to her own conscience.
I cannot comment as I dont know what all the EDF Group members stand for, and frankly nor does the British electorate.
Where I do criticise Nikki Sinclaire, is her timeing.
I have been campaigning really hard in Swindon for the last eight months and her actions of resigning from the EDF, will damage my campaign in Swindon, and the UKIP campaign nationally.
Nikki Sinclaire should realise that we are not in this for personal glory.
UKIP members are all part of a team, working toward the common cause of getting Britain out of the European Union.
Nikki Sinclaire should stop acting like a tempestuous school girl.
If Nikki Sinclaire carries on acting like this she could cause a split in the party.
Surely everyone in UKIP wants out of the EU - if it means talking to people we don't like so be it.
If Nikki has advanced the cause of making our parliament soverign again then good, if she has damaged it bad - otherwise I don't give a monkeys.
UKIP MEPs maybe fighting a rear guard action trying to hold the EU at bay while we try to withdraw - but it is the withdrawal that really matters.
Nigel is apparently in a group that want's to further itself in the EU rather than withdraw!
taskermax's blog , absolutely correct. Perhaps if those who are so willing to criticise Nikki, from a position of ignorance could bother their 'a*rses' to do just a modicum of research they would not talk such rubbish.
Politics in the UK lacks integrity, no amount of trying to blame others 'if they' lose will alter an inevitability that some candidates will not stand a hope in hell's chance of winning.
Especially if they consistently ignore the advice/instructions of their branch Chairman, Committee and Regional Organiser.
By all means let's have 'integrity', but I sense that this is often used as a cover for ego. Meanwhile we've gone to hell in a handcart and 'integrity' isn't going to save us.
This is a time to put personal ambition aside, an all work as a team.
We are in the middle of the biggest election campaign in the history of UKIP.
Everything we do and say must be for the good of the party.
Generally this means more hard work getting out there leafleting, and expalaining to the man in the street what has gone wrong with the European Union.
The EU is trying to destroy our parliament at Westminster, and repalce it with an EU federal government in Brussels.
This is the message that we need to get over to the man in the street, if UKIP is to win seats at the Westminster parliament in 2010.
The question that "Ukip" should be asking is. "Is UKIP, as a party, bigger than one man"? I am a recent member but I know my way around political circle's and the Internet.You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out what is going on at the court of King Nigel. Even today I saw a bare faced lie given by him on TV. Lord Malcolm,IF he really is in charge needs to get a grip of things.
"Put personal ambition aside! Ha! Tell that to Farage.
Look it's quite simple.
Nikki Sinclaire did not get elected as leader, she got a small slice of the vote and has now decided to throw the toys out of the pram.
Her choice of timing for her spoilt action is terrible.
It's shows a person who is self-serving and selfish.
UKIP is made for better things than squabbles caused by huffy meps. Time to fight a GE TOGETHER as a party.
My God! it's like the Salem witch trials all over again.. If all Nikki has done is throw her toy's out of the pram then all I can say is Nigel must have a much bigger pram with much bigger toys.
If everything we do or say is for the good of the party. Now where have I heard that before??? I thought it was for the good of the electorate.
I simply cannot stand by and allow the hypocrisy of at least one poster.
Unity, unity working together, put aside personal ambitions, UKIP. What a joke that poster has virtually destroyed that in his own branch. that destruction is still very likely.
But of course it wasn't his fault, he was the only hard working UKIPer, 'in the village'.
I heard a whisper that the Tory's will be pulling out all the stops when it comes to protecting the speakers seat in Buckinghamshire. Cameron has bought a camper van.
Have listened to both side's now and then looked at the FACTS. The leadership. (and i leave out Lord Pearson) have become like the very institution they loathe.
So! What next? Having received a statement from the NEC regarding it's "Stitch up" of Nikki Sinclaire , Do we move on regardless? "Well you know she was never one of us" is what they seem to be saying. I thought wistle blowing was to be commended these day's.. At the very least there should be an investigation into her allegations. We all know that there won't be. "It will hurt the party". How can being honest and transparent hurt a party that has nothing to hide?
It is quite clear that Nikki is committed to the party. You don't spend 16 years of your life working for it if your not. Nor do you donate part of your salary either.. So WHAT has she discovered that has made her risk damaging the party she loves.. I suggest that only Mr Farage and his "Lackey's" know the answer to that.. But one thing you can be sure of. It will have something to do with
(a) Money (b) position (c) power
We all know that politics is a dirty game.. It all depends on how low you are prepared to go.
Maybe Ms Sinclaire has said "This far, and no further" while others in the party have disabled their conscience. The truth is that the rank and file members who work their socks off for the party don't deserve to patronized by those who have sacrificed principles for advancement..
And the Losers? Why,as always The British Pubilc..

Indexing the Barnsley Chronicle for the First World War 1914-1919
Our first mini project to transcribe the 1918 Absent Voters' List for Barnsley and the surrounding area was very successful, with ten volunteers engaged and several more who offered their services just a little too late to get involved. Our data can be found via the Absent Voters tab above and now also in a printed format in a folder on the shelves of Barnsley Archives and Discovery Centre in Barnsley Town Hall.
WW1 Resources shelves in Barnsley Archives
Our next project is to complete the index of the Barnsley Chronicle started many years ago by other volunteers. In the photo above you can see eight blue box files on the upper shelf, these contain cuttings from the war years' Barnsley Chronicle and a partial index from August 1914 to March 1917. During our research over the past few years we have used these files dozens, if not hundreds of times, to check on the identity of soldiers named on the various Barnsley War Memorials. Unfortunately the cuttings do not include every mention of a soldier - we have found that the 'In Memoriam' and 'Death' columns, usually on page eight of the Chronicle, also give valuable family information that allow us to identify soldiers sometimes only listed by surname and initial on their local memorial.
A brief survey has suggested that each issue of the Barnsley Chronicle will give us, on average, the names of three or four men who do not appear on any memorial in Barnsley for addition to our Roll of Honour for Barnsley's WW1 Fallen. That could be as many as 800 more names to add to the 4000+ we have already collated from the war memorials.
Just part of the In Memoriam section of the Barnsley Chronicle on 7 July 1917 (thanks to Barnsley Archives)
Since the digital Barnsley Chronicle was launched in September 2013 it has become much easier to search the newspaper for mentions of soldiers. You can choose a month, open the file and do a 'search' to find a surname or any other word. The search works best when the text of the newspaper is clear and crisp and the paper itself was flat and uncreased when the images were taken. This does mean that sometimes items have been missed by the technology that scanned the images. The only way to identify all mentions of soldiers without any doubt is to manually read and index the newspapers ourselves.
For example in the image above of the Chronicle from 1917, the second 'In Memoriam' notice is to Sergt. Reginald Leslie Duncan who was killed on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Because the newsprint is blurred in that section his name does not come up on an automatic search of the digital edition.
We have just completed an index to April, May and June of 1917 and have handed in a printed copy to the Archives to add to their First World War resources. A generous arrangement with the Barnsley Chronicle and Barnsley Archives allows us to distribute individual digital copies of the newspaper to our volunteers in return for their agreement to a simple copyright declaration. Basically we agree not to distribute the digital material we have been provided with for the purposes of this project to anyone else. Copyright remains with Barnsley Chronicle and researchers are encouraged to visit Barnsley Archives if they wish to access the Barnsley Chronicle for their own research. Other newspapers covering the period of the First World War are also available in the Archives on microfilm, such as the Barnsley Independent and the South Yorkshire Times. The Archives also has a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive which allows you to search millions of pages of newsprint from the 18th century to the 1950s online.
Please, please consider offering to assist us with this project. You can work at your own pace in your own home. Once you have completed and returned the copyright declaration we provide a link to a download for your individual newspaper file and send you a prepared Excel spreadsheet in which to enter the index entries. Full instructions and helpful hints are also sent to you. Completed files are returned by email and if you wish you can then be assigned a second issue of the newspaper to work on.
Provided we get sufficient volunteers after the completion of the index from April 1917 to December 1919, we hope to look back at the earlier newspapers. As the current index is only to the cuttings in the file boxes on the shelves in the Archives a full index from the digital editions newspapers should add lots more information and soldiers' names.
Contact us on BWMP2015@gmail.com or find us in the Archives most Thursday mornings if you would like to discuss this project with us.
*Note - added May 2016*
The digitised Barnsley Chronicle runs from 1858 to 2003, from 2003 to 2013 the Chronicle is available on microfilm.

Ox-Cam Expressway & Growth Corridor
Ox-Cam Expressway and Growth Corridor
Save Oxfordshire: No Expressway, No 300,000 houses
The Oxfordshire countryside is valuable and needlessly under threat
A new road is being proposed that will unleash a tidal wave of development. 200,000 houses, or 4 new cities the size of Oxford, are being planned for Oxfordshire.
Published in Ox-Cam Expressway & Growth Corridor

OxfordCambridge Expressway
OxCam
What is the Ox-Cam Expressway and Growth Corridor?
The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has backed the concept of an Oxford to Cambridge ‘Growth Corridor’.
The Growth Corridor or ‘OxMKCam Arc’ stretching from Oxford via Milton Keynes to Cambridge is to deliver 1 million new houses and 700,000 additional jobs in the area (to justify the houses) by 2050.
Current housing stock in the 'Arc' amounts to 1.54 million, so an uplift of 1 million is an overall increase of 70%.
What will this mean for Oxfordshire?
• Up to 200,000 new houses for Oxfordshire, in addtional to the 100,000 in current Local Plans ie 4 more cities the size of Oxford over the next 30 years.
• An increase in the county’s housing stock by 70%.
• And an increase in Oxfordshire’s current working age population by 40%: despite the fact that the county has almost full employment.
The National Infrastructure Commission has backed the concept of an Oxford to Cambridge Growth Corridor of a million houses and job creation to justify them.
Highways England are currently deciding the route that the Expressway, which supports the Growth Corridor, should take: B1 or B3.
What is the Expressway?
The Department for Transport (DfT) has pledged to create an ‘Expressway’, ie a dual carriageway from Oxford to Cambridge (via Milton Keynes), as well as an east-west rail link, linking the M4 with the M11.
The Expressway is designed to support the Growth Corridor
Work on the Expressway is due to start by 2025 (and end by 2030). The cost is estimated to be 3.5 billion; the Government has so far pledged only £27 million, the rest is to be paid by the taxpayer.
Where will the Expressway go?
The Highways Agency is to decide the route that the Expressway should take, following analysis and some stakeholder engagement they have ruled out Corridor B2. Highways Agency are now developing viable route options for Corridor B1 and B3.
Corridor B1 - a central corridor broadly alligned with the proposed East-West rail route from Abingdon to south Milton Keynes via Winslow. This option passes to the west of Oxford.
Corridor B3 - a central corridor broadly alligned with the proposed East-West rail route from Abingdon to south Milton Keynes via Winslow. This option passes to the south east of Oxford.
A public consultation is planned for autumn 2019 - this will be the first opportunity the public have been given to have their say.
What is CPRE doing?
CPRE Oxfordshire is campaigning for a full statutory public consultation followed by a Public Inquiry into the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor and Expressway, so that decisions are open and transparent.
We are demanding that the environmental and social costs of the Growth Corridor should be weighed against the potential economic benefits envisaged, and the routing of any Expressway, at least through Oxfordshire, be decided in the open.
Dr Peter Collins, Chairman, CPRE Oxfordshire, said:
“The public rightly expect such life-changing and long-lasting decisions to be made with full transparency. The Expressway and growth corridor would completely change the character of Oxfordshire and there must be absolute openness when considering how any potential economic benefits could possibly outweigh the enormous environmental damage.”
CPRE has written to the Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, copied to Oxfordshire MPs, Council Leaders, Oxfordshire County Council and OxLEP (see letters below).
And we are lobbying our local decision-makers - CPRE has written to all Oxfordshire Parish Councils asking them to suport our call for a Public Inquiry (see letter below). Thanks, in part, to our lobbying...
The Oxfordshire Growth Board has called for a full public consultation into the initial assessment of the three corridors being considered between Oxford and Cambridge - a process which currently includes stakeholder engagement, but not full public consultation (see: Oxfordshire Growth Board Minutes, 30 November 2017 and below Letters from Bob Price, Leader of Oxford City Council to Highways England (16 January 2018) & the National Infrasructure Commission (11 January 2018); and
A motion has been passed by the Oxfordshire County Council calling for a Public Inquiry into the need for the Expressway and the selection of a route and to set up a cross-party Committee to look at all aspects of the impacts of the Expressway (see: Oxfordshire County Council Minutes, 12 December 2017).
Why is a Public Inquiry necessary?
It is obvious, and the Leader of Oxfordshire County Council has said as much, that any decision to impose a Growth Corridor on rural Oxfordshire will be contentious to say the least; it is also obvious, as he also accepts, that any of the potential Expressway routes – including upgrading the A34 – will be environmentally harmful, albeit to varying degrees.
It is essential to open Government that important matters which are capable of being decided in the open, and with public involvement, should be decided in the open and not as is currently intended, behind closed doors.
It is also clearly the case that whilst the outcome of an open consultation and a Public Inquiry may still lead to discontent, its teeth will be largely drawn if the public can see that the decision was fact-based and open.
An open independent decision will also absolve authorities and elected representatives of the accusations of complicity or failure to do their duty which are already widely voiced.

John Kilpatrick
8-Mile
Widening
CP&Y led the design effort culminating in final PS&E documents for the widening of eight miles of the John Kilpatrick Turnpike between MacArthur Boulevard and Eastern Avenue in Oklahoma City. As the prime consultant, CP&Y developed the PS&E package for the roadway, drainage, toll gantry modifications, screen walls, bridge widenings, and bridge rehabilitation.
CP&Y generated details for five of the eight bridge widenings which included conventional and integral prestressed concrete beam bridges. In addition, due to vertical clearance constraints, one median pier for an existing flyover ramp was reconstructed on a new bearing. The two existing multi-span steel plate girder units supported by the existing pier were converted into one continuous unit.
Due to the unique nature of this conversion, CP&Y coordinated with local contractors during the design and subsequently provided the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) with technical memorandums to alleviate concerns. The construction contract was awarded for $54.8M, a savings of over $8M from the initial project budget.

NO REGISTER WEDDING CEREMONY WILL TAKE PLACE UNTIL THE WEDDING LETTER HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE TOWN HALL
Both the family have to complie with the above rules.
According Sikh Rehit Maryada Anand Sanskar should follow these rules
Article XVIII-Anand Sanskar (Lit. Joyful Ceremonial: Sikh Matrimonial Conventions and Ceremony)
(a) A Sikh man and woman should enter wedlock without giving thought to the prospective spouse’s caste and descent.
(b) A Sikh’s daughter must be married to a Sikh.
(c) A Sikh’s marriage should be solemnized by Anand marriage rites.
(d) Child marriage is taboo for Sikhs.
(e) When a girl becomes marriageable, physically, emotionally and by virtue of maturity of character, a suitable Sikh match should be found and she be married to him by Anand marriage rites.
(f) Marriage may not be preceded by engagement ceremony. But if an engagement ceremony is sought to be held, a congregational gathering should be held and, after offering the Ardas before the Guru Granth Sahib, a kirpan, a steel bangle and some sweets may be tendered to the boy.
(g) Consulting horoscopes for determining which day or date is auspicious or otherwise for fixing the day of the marriage is a sacrilege. Any day that the parties find suitable by mutual consultation should be fixed.
(h) Putting on floral or gilded face ornamentation, decorative headgear or red thread bands round the wrist, worshipping of ancestors, dripping feet in mild mixed with water, cutting a berry or jandi (Prosopis spicigera) bushes, filling pitcher, ceremony of retirement in feigned displeasure, reciting couplets, performing havans [sacrificial fire], installing vedi (a wooden canopy or pavilion under which Hindu marriages are performed), prostitutes dances, drinking liquor, are all sacrileges.
(i) The marriage party should be as small a number of people as the girl’s people desire. The two sides should greet each other singing sacred hymns and finally by the Sikh greeting of Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh.
(j) For marriage, there should be a congregational gathering in the holy presence of Guru Granth Sahib. There should be hymn-singing by ragis or by the whole
congregation. Then the girl and boy should be made to sit facing the Guru Granth Sahib. The girl should sit on the left side of the boy. After soliciting the congregation’s permission, the master of the marriage ceremony (who may be a man or woman) should bid the boy and girl and their parents or guardians to stand and should offer the Ardas for the commencement of the Anand marriage ceremony.
The officiant should then appraise the boy and girl of the duties and obligations of conjugal life according to the Gurus tenets.
He should initially give to the two an exposition of their common mutual obligations. He should tell them how to model the husband-wife relationship on the love between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul in the light of the contents of circumambulation (lavan) hymns in the Suhi measure (rag) section of the Guru Granth Sahib.
He should explain to them the notion of the state of “a single soul in two bodies” to be achieved through love and make them see how they may attain union with the Immortal Being discharging duties and obligations of the householders life. Both of them, they should be told, have to make their conjugal union a means to the fulfillment of the purpose of the journey of human existence; both have to lead clean and Guru-oriented lives through the instrumentality of their union.
He should then explain to the boy and girl individually their respective conjugal duties as husband and wife. The bridegroom should be told that the girl’s people having chosen him as the fittest match from among a whole lot, he should regard his wife as his better half, accord to her unflinching love and share with her all that he has. In all situations, he should protect her person and honour, he should be completely loyal to her and he should show as much respect and consideration for her parents and relations as for his own. The girl should be told that she has been joined in matrimony to her man in the hallowed presence of the Guru Granth Sahib and the congregation. She should ever harbour for him deferential solicitude, regard him the lord and master of her love and trust; she should remain firm in her loyalty to him and serve him in joy and sorrow and in every clime (native or foreign) and should show the same regard and consideration to his parents and relatives as she would, to her own parents and relatives.
The boy and girl should bow before the Guru Granth Sahib to betoken their acceptance of these instructions. Thereafter, the girl’s father or the principal relation should make the girl grasp one end of the sash which the boy is wearing over his shoulders and the person in attendance of the Guru Granth Sahib should recite the matrimonial circumambulation stanzas (lavan of the fourth Guru in the Suhi musical measure section of the Guru Granth). After the conclusion of the recitation of each of the stanzas, the boy, followed by the girl holding the end of the sash, should go round the Guru Granth Sahib while the ragis or the congregation sing out the recited stanza.
The boy and girl, after every circumambulation, should bow before the Guru Granth Sahib in genuflexion, lowering their forehead to touch the ground and then stand up to listen to the recitation of the next stanza. There being four matrimonial circumambulation stanzas in the concerned hymn, the proceeding will comprise four circumambulations with the incidental singing of the stanza. After the fourth circumabulation, the boy and girl should, after bowing before the Guru Granth Sahib, sit down at the appointed place and the ragis or the person who has conducted the ceremony should recite the first five and the last stanza of the Anand Sahib. Thereafter, the Ardas should be offered to mark the conclusion of the Anand marriage ceremony and the sacred pudding distributed.
(k) Persons professing faiths other than the Sikh faith cannot be joined in wedlock by the Anand Karaj ceremony.
(l) No Sikh should accept a match for his/her son or daughter for monetary consideration.
(m) If the girl’s parents at any time or on any occasion visit their daughter’s home and a meal is ready there, they should not hesitate to eat there. Abstaining from eating at the girl’s home is a superstition. The Khalsa has been blessed with the boon of victuals and making others eat by the Guru and the Immortal Being. The girl’s and boy’s people should keep accepting each other’s hospitality, because the Guru has joined them in relationship of equality.
(n) If a woman’s husband has died, she may, if she so wishes, finding a match suitable for her, remarry. For a Sikh man whose wife has died, similar ordinance obtains.
(o) The remarriage may be solemnized in the same manner as the Anand marriage.
(p) Generally, no Sikh should marry a second wife if the first wife is alive.
(q) A baptized Sikh ought to get his wife baptized.

Key Eyes Cleaning Co. Expansion
April 16, 2007 | In the News
By John Sinnenberg
Key Principal Partners has just drawn up a list of at least 10 possible add–on acquisitions for Kellermeyer Building Services, a commercial cleaning service company. In February, the firm took a $36 million non–controlling interest in the company, helping Kellermeyer’s management acquire the business from CIVC Partners.
How many companies Kellermeyer eventually acquire depends on the size of the targets, said John Sinnenberg, managing partner. Sinnenberg declined to say how much the firm is looking to spend on deals, though it typically invests $5–40 million of equity in portfolio companies. Company management is also angling to get business in more major retailers and grocery chains, he said.
CIVC acquired Kellermeyer from management in May 2001 with its second fund. The Chicago–based private equity firm, currently investing from its $650 million third fund, still owns a number of companies acquired with its second fund, including L.A. Fitness, the fitness club operator. But Chris Perry, partner, said the firm isn’t planning any other exits. The firm typically holds companies for five to seven years.

APOLOGIES and THANKS
Hey folks.
First of all, I’m sorry for not keeping up to date with this website announcement thing. I’m sitting at my manager’s house in LA about to head over to the Troubadour for the 2nd of 2 shows there with Alkaline Trio, and he indicated to me that the last time I updated this website was April, much to my chagrin. Blame my Twitter account. It’s an instant way to communicate that takes 140 characters, whereas these updates take

Greetings from Newport Kentucky. We kicked off the Dave Hause, Mikey Erg, Ian Graham tour on Friday night with a bang in Pittsburgh, what a great response. 2 intimate shows in the Ohio area (Columbus and last night in Newport, Kentucky, Cincinatti’s neighbor) and today is a day off before 14 shows straight. We’re having a blast, so much so that Mikey Erg got arrested last night and thrown in the drunk tank.

The federal agency began its probe after a group of retired players filed a lawsuit against the league, claiming that it illegally administered prescription drugs to them. It was 1987 and he was studying at the Soviet Sports Institute. 8, 2014, and finished the season on the Chiefs’ non football illness list. On the West Coast and this is their only prime time appearance. But he cooled off. Many rooms on the upper floors have balconies looking out onto the pool area. Five observations from Vikings training camp is a sense on this team that Sam Bradford is going to take a considerable leap replica swingman jersey in year two with the Vikings. In exchange for a lesser payout, field bettors gain the advantages of having more than one entrant that can win for them.. It cited a ruling in an antitrust challenge involving the NBA, in which an appeals court wrote, “A league with one team would be like one hand clapping.”. So, there’s different levels of respect that players will have, but I think in general they have a pretty short attention span.. Make sure you are hard wired to the router to access the Internet and that your network card is configured to be automatically assigned an IP. Additionally, the league warned the sport’s leading rusher from a year ago to shape up, as any more similar issues could result in further “suspension or potential banishment from the NFL.” To top it off, Elliott was ordered to undergo a clinical evaluation, and to seek counseling or treatment if recommended.. Le nombre de jeunes garons qui le pratiquent diminuera probablement, mais il serait trs tonnant que le mme phnomne se produise au niveau des cotes d’coute..

After Saturday’s 41 0 home loss to Georgia, the Vols are 0 2 in the SEC East. There was work aplenty to do on offense, and throwing a true freshman quarterback into the mix, regardless of his potential, probably would have stunted his growth.

The efforts of the Bob Marley and Rita Marley Foundations are giving life to the words of Bob Marley: "Africa Unite!" Sponsoring a series of events each year in a different country, the goal of uniting Africa is becoming a reality.
Rita Marley's Lifetime Commitment to Marcus Garvey
Rita Marley’s Lifetime Commitment to Marcus Garvey
Rita Marley, reggae artist and humanitarian, and widow of Reggae icon Bob Marley, sat in regal serenity at the Caribbean American Heritage Awards Gala in Washington, DC last week, giving little inkling of the true fighter that she is. For her passion and dedication to social justice and equal rights, she was being honored with the Marcus Garvey Lifetime Achievement Award from the Institute of Caribbean Studies. For Rita Marley - born Alpharita Anderson in Santiago, Cuba, raised in Trench Town, Jamaica and now living in Ghana - there is a special gratification to this honor.
Dr. Claire Nelson and Rita Marley
A proud follower of Marcus Garvey, she made frequent and emphatic references to that great Jamaican visionary and pioneer during interviews with CaribNation Television and Afrofusion TV (a snippet of which you can watch after the jump.) And once she accepted the award, her humility was evident in the gratitude she offered to her ancestors, pioneers like Rosa Parks and “ others who have set a standard and a path for us to follow towards the development of black people and the human beings around the world.” But that sounds just like what Rita Marley has been doing now for years.
CenC' Love Wailer
She founded both the Bob Marley Foundation and the Rita Marley Foundation, and is helping the children and the aged in Ghana, Ethiopia and Jamaica. She has adopted 35 children already in Ethiopia, but says that that is not even enough; she would like to adopt several more. The contributions she made to the development of Konkonuru village in Ghana led to her enstooling as a Queen mother, where she is now known as Nana Rita. It was perfectly fitting, as Rita Marley rose to accept her award, that “No Woman, No Cry” was being delivered by CenC’ Love Wailer, the daughter of Bunny Wailer (Bunny Livingston) one of the original Wailers. “In this great future you can’t forget your past,” she sang. And that’s exactly what Rita Marley is making sure of in the positive work she’s doing worldwide. Following is a preview of Rita Marley’s conversation with Riziki of Afrofusion TV, where she talks about her foundation’s work and the significance of the Marcus Garvey award. You can view more photos from the event in our Photo Gallery. Respect. Love. Bless...

Presidential candidate Mbonu Writes President Buhari on “A Clear and Present Danger Ahead” in Nigeria
Hon. Mbonu
Former Presidential candidate in Nigeria's 2019 election writes to President Muhammadu Buhari on country's state of affairs.
Dear President Buhari,
A time comes in the life of every President, when legacy and posterity beckons. That time is now, because time is ticking, and time is no respecter of any person.
This is not a partisan message. As a bona fide new-generation leader, and fellow stakeholder in the Nigerian project, I acknowledge that you did make some efforts to keep Nigeria moving forward in your first term; especially in your efforts to contain security in our Northeast corridor. However, most Nigerians have now judged those efforts as insufficient, given the state of insecurity nationwide today.
The security situation has now given rise to economic challenges. All Nigerians have a right to expect more from you, especially in your much avowed war against corruption, and insecurity.
On a very practical note, the below are areas Nigerians need to see timely dividends of democratic governance from your second term, with greater urgency. Ignoring this well-intentioned counsel means a clear and present danger of Nigeria unraveling under your watch.
1. National Security
Nigeria is a very fragile nation today; from Sokoto to Ibadan, from Akwa Ibom to Bornu, and from Anambra to Adamawa. Mr. President, your inner circle may have played this down for you, but there is a crisis in the country now. Most Nigerians suspect that close advisers, who were also referenced by your wife in a 2018 speech in Abuja, may be limiting your exposure to the reality of today, because we are not seeing the sense of urgency that the moment requires from the government. Mr. President, there is a clear and present danger that Nigeria may unravel under your watch, or right after, if things do not change for the better. We do not want Nigeria to unravel, and we do not believe that you want that situation as well, because there simply will be no nation to govern if Nigeria unravels.
2. Corruption and Cronyism
Mr. President, though we do not accuse you of personal corruption; however we have seen many cases of bizarre corrupt practices among your comrades across Nigeria under your watch. Most especially, we have seen recent former or present governors, who basically plundered their state beyond recognition, but who are still tagging alongside you and your party, in order to shield themselves from prosecution. We are all watching to see how a particular former Governor from the Southeast, who plundered his state beyond belief, and who drops your name every so often, will fare under prosecution by the EFCC. We have seen this particular governor making moves to avert justice by seeking a perpetual “injunction” from prosecution, if this injunction succeeds, then we’ll know impunity has started in earnest under your watch. We hope you will encourage the EFCC to do a creditable job with these people.
3. The New Cabinet
If anyone had informed Nigerians in a dream, that they would be hearing the names of the likes of Timipre Sylva, Godswill Akpabio, and others, who have “active” corruption cases running into billions of Naira, as ministerial designees in your new government, we would say it is a bad dream. However alas, we have been shocked by the list you just submitted to the Senate for confirmation, containing the names of these same people, plus other former ministers, who basically undermined your government, through extreme incompetence during your first term. What message are you sending here Mr. President? Is this a signal that you have now embraced wholesale corruption in public life in Nigeria?
4. Infrastructure Power Works & Housing
Our Telecommunications and “Power Works & Housing” infrastructure is really of marginal condition, thereby leading to a stubbornly sluggish economy. Lack of electricity alone, and a poorly maintained nationwide road network; limits interstate commerce inside Nigeria; thereby limiting the growth of our internal economy. The state of telecommunications is limiting us from the 21st Century economy. Mr. President, let us not deceive ourselves, there’s no development or economic growth coming under the above conditions. In-fact, serious investors are either turning back or deciding to wait you out.
Mr. Babatunde Fashola, who manned the “Power Works & Housing” ministry for you, was either overrated, or you didn’t give him a free hand to do the job. Either-way, infrastructure is in dire need of attention.
Solutions (Insecurity)
Mr. President, the least you can do right now is to rein-in the ethnic group in the mouth of every Nigerian, and increasingly every African and the world today; our very own Fulani brothers. We are currently one country and all first-class citizens of Nigeria; therefore, if a rule applies to one ethnic group of Nigeria, it should apply to every ethnic group.
While I have met you one on one, and also have met many Fulanis in the ordinary course of a heritage in Nigeria, and do not believe every Fulani is evil; however somebody is indirectly inciting or condoning atrocities committed by people who wield AK47’s while herding cows across the country, it is even worse where those people are not known to be Nigerians.
Your ambivalence and lack of condemnation of various atrocities across the country speaks volumes. Further, “Ranching” is inevitable in a future Nigeria. The sooner we join the league of civilized nations by “Ranching” our cattle, the sooner we can begin to enjoy a more robust economy, based on modern animal husbandry.
Today, the violence has also reverted back to the Northeast (and now the Northwest as well); because the insecurity was not contained as it ravaged the Middle Belt and the South. This time the insecurity is mixed with kidnapping and banditry.
Mr. President you would do well to support the urgent matter of initiating State and Community Policing urgently, that way, local officials down to the local government levels, can contain security in their regions, states, and LGA’s.
Solutions (Corruption)
Some former or present corrupt government officials must be prosecuted aggressively, and be convicted where the evidences warrant conviction, and actually serve commensurate long sentences for violating public trust, and impoverishing their states. Various economic and security catastrophes including loss of citizens lives, can be directly attributed to the corrupt failures of some governors who governed these states, or manned certain agencies.
Legacy and posterity beckons to you Mr. President, let us not waste this opportunity.

Congenital malformation complex of the spine and the spinal cord can be a syndromic entity rather than a symptom complex. The spinal cord lesion is usually bilaterally symmetrical, but, there are occasional cases with one or more hemivertebrae, often associated with a central bony spur splitting the cord (diastematomyelia), in which one leg is virtually normal while the other is severely paralysed. Hemimyelomeningocele over the lumbar area may be associated with extensive spine malsegmentation compatible with the diagnosis of spondylocostal dysplasia syndrome. In this report, we present a 3-year-old girl who underwent neurological evaluation and spinal imaging studies for extensive spine malsegmentation compatible with spondylocostal dysostosis syndrome associated with hemimyelomeningocele. She had a series of corrective orthopaedic interventions to reconstruct her pelvic girdle and spine deformities, with a satisfactory outcome.

Al Kaissi A, Stuecker R, Ganger R, Klaushofer K, Grill F. Spinal and pelvic corrections in a patient with spondylocostal dysplasia syndrome and hemimyelomeningocele. Afr J Paediatr Surg [serial online] 2014 [cited 2020 Jan 22];11:341-6. Available from: http://www.afrjpaedsurg.org/text.asp?2014/11/4/341/143163
Disruptions in somitogenesis cause vertebral malformations, including failure of formation and segmentation such as hemivertebrae and wedge vertebrae, block vertebrae or butterfly vertebrae. [1] Congenital vertebral defects that result from disruption of the induction and formation of the axial skeleton include spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD), Jarcho-Levin syndrome (JLS), Klippel-Feil anomaly and a wide range of syndromic malformation complex such as VATER, VACTERL and MURCS association. [1],[2],[3]
Jarcho-Levin syndrome is a congenital dysostosis that affects the bones of the spine and the ribs. The main features are short stature with a very short thorax, rib cage abnormalities and multiple vertebral anomalies. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, and spina bifida is present in 25% of patients. Morbidity and mortality among patients with JLS has been attributed to congenital thoracic cage abnormalities. [2],[3]
Karnes et al., [4] reviewed the differences between spondylocostal dysplasia and JLS. Nevertheless, some cases reported as JLS probably have a form of spondylocostal dysplasia. It has been suggested that the pathogenetic aspect in correlation with the radiographic pattern of presentation are the main hallmarks for classification of SCD. [5] Previous studies investigated the reason of death in patients with spondylothoracic dysplasia and spondylocostal dysplasia (SCD). A congenital thoracic cage abnormality with concomitant progressive thoracic cage restrictions and development of thoracic insufficiency syndrome was the main reason thought to be responsible for the high fatality rate in these patients. [6]
Neural tube defects are considered to result from the failure of normal neural tube closure between the 3 rd and 4 th week of embryonic development .In general, they vary in severity, the mildest form being spina bifida occulta, in which osseous fusion of one or more vertebral arches is lacking, without the involvement of the underlying meninges or neural tissue. This lesion is covered by skin, therefore, rendering the underlying neurologic involvement occult or hidden. [7] The association of segmental costovertebral malformations and neural tube defects has been reported, and it has been proposed that this association is not coincidental. [8],[9],[10] Incomplete ossification of the cervico-thoracic pedicles associated with extensive malsegmentation is a major reason for the development of progressive kyphosis in patients with diastrophic dysplasia, chondrodysplasia punctata, Larsen syndrome and camptomelic dysplasia. [11]
Advanced scanning techniques can provide additional information which facilitates orthopaedic interventions. The prognosis for deterioration of the severe spinal deformity in this patient was anticipated due to the insufficient spinal growth of the concavity. The type and the site of the vertebral anomalies and the degree of growth imbalance were extensive.
A 3-year-old girl was referred to the orthopaedic department due to progressive lumbosacral scoliosis associated with a significant tilt of the lumbosacral/sacroiliac complex and neurogenic right side club foot. She was born full term. At birth, her birth weight, length and ofc were around the 10 th percentile. Short trunk dwarfism associated with congenital lumbar scoliosis, and myelomeningocele were the prominent clinical features. Anteroposterior (AP) radiograph showed extensive malsegmenation of the entire spine associated with congenital scoliosis and dislocation of the right hip [Figure 1]. AP spine radiograph revealed extensive malsegmentation of the entire spine ranging between butterfly vertebrae to hemivertebrae associated with neurocentral synchondrosis of the entire cervical spine [Figure 1].

Hemimyelomeningocele (HMM) was diagnosed, and a lumbar lipoma was recognized via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intradural lipoma. Sagittal T1-weighted and sagittal T2-weighted fat-saturated showed large intradural lipoma (a split cord malformation secondary to intradural lipoma, and the development of a tethered cord) (arrows), which is hyperintense on T1-weighted image and hypointense on T2-weighted fat-saturated image. Lipoma was attached to conus medullaris, which is low-lying [Figure 2]. Three-dimensional coronal computed tomography (CT) scan of the lumbo-sacral showed extensive defects of formation of the entire area (hemivertebrae), spondylopelvic dissociation and dislocation of the right hip joint and lateral displacement of the malsegmented sacrum [Figure 3].

The mother was a 25-year-old gravida 1 abortus 0, married to a -29-year-old unrelated man. Family history revealed the presence of vertebral malsegmenation in the father and her cousin (paternal side). Investigations included creatine kinase plasma levels, metabolic screening of plasma and urine for disturbances in the metabolism of amino acids, bile acids, phytanic acid and oligosaccharides, all gave normal results. There were normal serum levels of luteinizing hormone, prolactin and estradiol. Blood sugar, uric acid levels, serum calcium, phosphorous and parathyroid hormone levels were within normal limits. Chromosomal analysis in both the patient and the parents revealed normal karyogram. Echo-Cardio-Doppler was normal. Her vision, hearing and intelligence were normal. Neurological examination was normal. We were unable to perform genetic study on this family due to logistical reasons.
Examination at the age of 3 years showed a girl with short trunk dwarfism (−4 SD). No peculiar craniofacial dysmorphic features were encountered. Her hands were normal, but nevertheless, short trunk dwarfism was the most prominent feature. Significant spinal malformations complex were noted. Hearing, vision and intelligence were normal. Options for surgical treatment in the presence of lumbosacral malformations were limited, as the malsegmented sacrum did not offer possibilities of instrumentation.
Phenotypic characterization followed by a series of corrective orthopaedic interventions to reconstruct her pelvic girdle and spine deformities was performed. She had correction of her spine deformity by removal of unilateral lumbar double hemivertebra and lumbosacral fixation.
The objective of treatment was to improve walking ability and trunk balance. An attempt was made to balance her spinal growth by removing abnormal spinal growth at the convexity. This patient presented with severe failure of segmentation and formation of the entire spine compatible with spondylocostal dysplasia associated with hemimeylomeningocele.
For the severe neurogenic right side clubfoot, a complete peritalar release according to McKay and Simons was performed at the age of 1 year. The medial, dorsal and lateral aspects of the foot were released from ankle joint and subtalar joint by a Cincinnati approach. After correction of the subtalar joint and the chopard joint, line fixations with 3-K wires and casting for 6 weeks were realized, followed by treatment with orthosis.
For the dislocation of the right hip, open reduction of the right hip was performed at the age of 2 years using an inguinal approach, a tenotomy of the psoas tendon and a percutaneous release of the adductor muscle were included. T-shaped opening of the capsule with removal of all soft tissues inside the acetabulum was done. A lateral approach of the proximal femur with shortening and varisation osteotomy was performed to reduce the pressure of the femoral head inside the acetabulum. Pemberton acetabuloplasty was added to improve the coverage of the femoral head. An apica cast was applied for 6 weeks. The hardware (plates and K-wires) were removed 8 th months later [Figure 4].
Figure 4: For the dislocation of the right hip, in 3.11.2010, open reduction of the right hip was performed using an inguinal approach, a tenotomie of the tendon of the psoas muscle and a percutaneous release of the adductor muscle was included. A T-shape opening of the capsule was performed, after that removal of all the soft tissues inside the acetabulum was done. A lateral approach of the proximal femur shortening varisation was performed to minimize the pressure of the femoral head inside the acetabulum was done. The osteotomy was fi xed with an AO miniplate. The latter procedure was followed by reposition of the femoral head inside the acetabulum, simultaneously with the closure of the hip joint. Acetabuloplasty according to Pemberton was applied to ameliorate the coverage of the femoral head. K-wires were used to affirm fixation, and spica cast for 6 weeks was used thereafter. The hardware (plates and K-wires) were removed in July 2013
For the spine deformity (for the left side convexity of the lumbar spine and because of the extensive malsegmentation), de-tethering was performed in the 1 st year of life. In 21-08-2012, resection of the hemivertebrae of L3-4-5. Posterior fusion of L2-S1 was accomplished, and a spica cast was applied [Figure 5].The image of a child after surgery at age of 4 years showed leg length discrepancy and hypotrophy of the right lower limb, recurrence of right equinus deformity (varus of the hind foot and supination of the forefoot, respectively) [Figure 6]. At last follow-up, the girl can walk independently using a shoelift of 7 cm to compensate her leg length discrepancy. The shortening is partly (4 cm) caused by the pelvic obliquity due to the spinal malformation. The hip joint on the right is still well-reduced. There is a recurrence of equinovarus deformity of the right foot, which needs additional surgical correction. The foot is stiff, active movements of the toes are possible.
Figure 5: For the spine deformity (for the left side convexity of the lumbar spine and because of the extensive malsegmenation), de-tethering was performed in the 1st year of life. In 21.8.2012, resection of the hemivertebrae of L3-4-5. Posterior fusion of L2-S1 was made, and spica-cast was applied accordingly
Figure 6: The image of a child after surgery at age of 4 years showed leg length discrepancy and hypotrophy of the right lower limb, recurrence of right equinus deformity (varus of the hind foot and supination of the forefoot, respectively)
The development of the spinal cord is closely associated with that of the vertebral column. It is, therefore, not surprising that neural and vertebral malformations often coexists. Spine malformations are frequently associated with congenital anomalies of other systems, especially those formed from mesenchyma. These anomalies are either symptomatic or asymptomatic. The genito-urinary system may be affected in up to 25% of patients. A unilateral kidney is the most common associated anomaly. Duplication of the kidney or ureteric obstruction also do occur. In order to understand the natural history of congenital spine malformations and the great variety in prognosis, it is necessary to correlate the principles of normal growth of the spine with the pathologic anatomy of the various types of congenital vertebral anomalies. [7],[9]
Kusumi and Turnpenny [1] described the different syndromes that occur due to failure of formation of the spinal column. They emphasised the significant role of the radiographic interpretation in classifying the different forms of SCD, but three-dimensional scanning studies were not included. Turnpenny et al. [11] reported the clinical, radiographical and molecular findings in 10 families with autosomal recessive SCD. Radiologically, there was abnormal segmentation throughout the entire vertebral column with smooth outlines of the vertebral bodies in childhood. Further characterisation of the spinal pathology by means of other scanning modalities was not applied. For the first time, Al Kaissi et al., [12] provided a detailed craniocervical analysis via 3DCT scan in SCD patients.
Mutations have been identified in four genes involved in the Notch signalling pathway: DLL3, MESP2, LFNG, and HES7. Alterations in these genes produce the autosomal recessive variety of SCD, but have been excluded in the dominant SCD families. There are some reports of heterozygous mutations in GDF3 and GDF6 as causing dominant SCD. MESP2-associated SCD (SCD2) showed a severe generalized vertebral disorder, with some patients having ribs that radiate out in what has been described as "crab chest" and some have referred to as "Jarcho-Levin" syndrome in which the ribs are more compressed but may have less severe modelling abnormality than the SCD1 patients. Mutation in LFNG-associated SCD type 3 also showed a severe generalised vertebral involvement, often with a significant reduction in spine height. Mutations in HES7-associated SCD type 4 have been reported in some patients, and their radiographs are similar to SCD 3. [13] Furthermore, mutations in DLL3-associated spondylocostal dysostosis type 1 (SCD1) is a form with the so-called "pebble beach" sign, that is vertebral bodies are irregular in size but have a smoothly rounded shape. The thorax tends to be symmetric and, despite the significant vertebral abnormalities, there is only mild scoliosis. Mutations in MESP2-associated spondylocostal dysplasia type 2 (SCD2) showed a severe generalized vertebral disorder, with some patients having ribs that radiate out in what has been described as the "crab chest" and some have referred to as " JLS". [13] Rodriguez et al. [14] reported the association of SCD with perinatal death and meningomyelocele. Etus et al. [8] described the association of spondylocostal dysplasia and type I split cord malformation None of the above-mentioned reports described the association of SCD and hemimyelomeningocele with subsequent maldevelopment of spondylopelvic malformation.
In previous reports, the term JLS and SCD were used interchangeably. The association of segmental costo-vertebral malformations and neural tube defects has been reported, and it has been proposed that this association is not coincidental. Reyes et al. [15] reported a case of Jarcho-Levin syndrome with diastematomyelia of the thoracolumbar spinal cord and suggested neural tube defects as a component of JLS. Duru et al. [16] reported two patients with JLS and neural tube defects, one of whom with lumbosacral lipomyelomeningocele and the other with thoracolumbar myelomeningocele.
Hemimyelomeningocele refers to a unique form of spinal cord dysraphism in which the myelocele or myelomeningocele is found in one hemicord of a diastemmatomylia. Hemicords usually lie in their own dural tube and are separated in the midline by a bony septum. [17] The myelomeningocele is known to be a defect of primary neurulation with the lack of midline closure of the neural placode and contiguous structures. It takes place at the 26-28 days of gestation. [18] On the other hand, diatsematomyelia is basically known to be a defect of secondary neurulation or postneurulation. [19] HMM is observed in about 10% of unselected patients with myelomeningocele. [20] The neurological deficit in children with HMM is less severe than compared to that seen in myelomeningocele patients. It has been reported that children with HMM have neurological deficits limited to the exposed hemicord and have normal function on the side of the normal hemicord. [17],[18],[19],[20]
The split-cord malformation or (diastemmatomyelia) represents a sagittal cleft of the spinal cord into two hemicords that can be enclosed in single or separate dural sheaths and separated by a fibrous or osteocartilaginous septum, respectively. The condition is usually accompanied by a low tethered conus and thick filum terminale. [21]
The reason for presenting this case is four-fold. First, no previous reports described the association of hemimyelomeningocele and spondylopelvic deformity in connection with SCD. Second, by using 3DCT, we were able to visualize the severe defects of formation (hemivertebrae) along the lumbar area and the associated lumbo-sacral pathology and the right hip dislocation. Third, it was extremely difficult to approach optimum surgical results due to the severity of the spinal deformity and the pelvic malformation. Fourth, the father and cousin were also affected by SCD raising the possibility of autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
Proper documentation of children with multiple malformations along with the help of CT scans provides excellent delineation of osseous deformity patterns in children with syndromic association. Three-dimensional studies and sagittal and coronal reconstructions provide the orthopaedic surgeon with a detailed understanding of the spinal osseous deformity and the development of the subsequent concomitant atrophy of the spinal cord. These investigations have important implications in understanding the mechanism of the patho-anatomy, judging potential corrective measures, evaluating deformity and planning surgical procedures. We conclude that the use of the advanced scanning techniques, in combination with plain radiographs, will provide the orthopaedic surgeons with an appropriate understanding of the pathologic and surgical anatomy present in most patients with vertebral malformations. The relationship of the spine to the sacrum and the iliem should be carefully assessed in order to correct the spondylopelvic malalignment. Our observations may contribute to support early diagnosis and treatment. Failure to accurately detect these abnormalities can lead to serious orthopaedic/neurologic complications.

Biased Boston Sports
The End Of The Celtics Season & A Look Towards The Offseason
(April 27, 2016 - Source: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images North America)
Well, that sucked.
Last night, Celtics Nation saw the end of Boston's 2016, coming in Game 6 at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks. Coming into the series, I was one of the few people that thought the Celtics were going to lose (shoutout to Niko and Jordan, losers), but who's paying attention to that? Simply put, the Hawks are a better team than the Celtics. They have more star power, and have had a nucleus that has played together for years. While the Hawks have a tendency to crap all over themselves, they had fantastic composure in the series, specifically in Game 6. However, this series does not negate what the Celtics have been able to accomplish this season.
Isaiah Thomas turned into a cornerstone player, while we saw the ups and downs of players such as Jared Sullinger and Marcus Smart. Fortunately, it looks as if the Celtics are in prime position to have an absolutely fantastic offseason.
The Green have been heavily rumored in discussions with soon-to-be free agent Kevin Durant and Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler. Kevin Durant has been rumored with the Celtics since he was drafted, but, as KD has transcended into an all-world player, the Celtics have lusted after him even more. According to Yahoo, Boston has already begun the process of wooing Durant, as they are rumored to meet with him this summer, as well as bring on additional players. Chris Mannix of The Vertical dove into this topic this morning in an article for Yahoo:
"Ainge will be aggressive in free agency, team sources told The Vertical, and yes, that means a run at Kevin Durant. The Celtics believe Durant will meet with them this summer, but they know that meeting won’t accomplish much unless there are significant moves leading into it. Durant will be 28 in September, and the former MVP isn’t interested in hearing what a team could someday become. He wants to win now, which is why Golden State and San Antonio expect to be appealing, why Oklahoma City is still very much in play. Boston needs a deal for Jimmy Butler, a commitment from Al Horford, a carrot to dangle in front of Durant to persuade him that relocating east is the smart play."
The Celtics were almost in agreement with the Bulls at the Trade Deadline for the aforementioned Jimmy Butler, but Danny Ainge was unwilling to include Jae Crowder in the deal (shoot me in the face). Both sides seem to be done with each other, so a deal for Jimmy Butler is not as unrealistic as it once may have been. Additionally, Al Horford has been rumored with the Celtics since before the Trade Deadline. The Celtics wanted to trade for Horford before the Deadline, and has since said that they will be in the mix of things when he becomes a free agent this summer. While I do not think the Celtics need both of these players, I really like what I am hearing. With so many rumors swirling, I would be amazed if the Celtics do not make multiple moves.
(March 17, 2016 - Source: Tom Pennington/Getty Images North America)
Additionally, the Celtics currently hold the Brooklyn Nets' draft pick, which is destined to be in the top 3. The Celtics could look to draft a top-tier player like Brandon Ingram, Ben Simmons or Buddy Hield, but they could also be looking to trade that pick if the value is right.
If the Draft Gods continue to hate the Celtics and they do not acquire a top 3 pick, in my opinion, Boston should be looking to trade that pick to a desperate team. Dragan Bender, a Croatian 7-footer, could be enticing to a team that is looking to develop young talent overseas. Similarly, Kentucky's Jamal Murray and Cal's Jaylen Brown could be developing pieces that lesser teams overvalue, which could leave Ainge salivating from the mouth.
One thing is for certain, and that is the fact that most fans expect Danny Ainge to make multiple splashes. In this series during the Hawks, we saw teams eliminate Isaiah Thomas and dare inferior players, like Jonas Jerebko and Kelly Olynyk, to beat them. The Celtics desperately need scoring, and players like Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and Buddy Hield could be exactly what the doctor ordered. No player should be safe this season (Sorry, Isaiah).
As the draft nears closer, we will continue to dive into the best players that could be wearing Celtic Green next season and a better look at the offseason after The Finals.

U.S.-China trade war boosts Brazil local soy prices, spurs deals
Roberto Samora & Ana Mano, Reuters
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The price of Brazilian soybeans in local currency reached the highest level in almost two months, driven by a spike in port premiums for soybeans and a weaker currency, both caused by the trade dispute between China and the United States.
Prices in Sorriso, at the heart of Brazil’s soy country in the state of Mato Grosso, closed at 62.31 reais ($15.67) per bag on Tuesday, 0.81% above the previous day and the highest level since June 18, according to price research center Cepea/Esalq.
Brazil’s port premiums at Paranaguá rose to $1.35 over Chicago futures on Tuesday after the United States escalated the war against China, the world’s largest soy importer, which responded by halting all deals for U.S. farm products.
Brazil port premiums have soared 70% from June 16, Refinitiv data shows, reaching the highest level since November 2018.
Camilo Motter, a grain broker in Paraná state, said that the combination of a weak Brazilian real and high port premiums were boosting values for soybeans in the domestic market, when considering reais per 60-kg bags.
The Brazilian currency fell almost 5% against the dollar this month to almost four to the greenback on Wednesday BRBY.
Lucílio Alves, a grains analyst with Cepea/Esalq, said Chinese demand is likely to rise. “After the escalation of the trade war, they will probably focus on Brazil and even cancel U.S. soybean purchases,” he said.
Brazilian farmers are taking the opportunity to sell old crop soy and also to clinch some deals to sell next year’s crop that they will start to plant next month, according to producers association Aprosoja.
“The producer waits for moments like this,” said Bartolomeu Braz Pereira, head of Aprosoja...

Alberta Foundry & Machine Company
Unlike many of the locations I've photographed around Medicine Hat, Alberta, the foundry was one that I had no prior knowledge of before exploring local archives. The Alberta Foundry & Machine Company began operating in 1911, and manufactured shells throughout World War I and even more so in World War II.
One of the interesting things I read about the Foundry was that after the First World War it was leased to the Canadian Farm Implement Co. and they began producing the 14-28 "Canadian" tractor. I found an excerpt from a book on tractors of the model that was produced in Medicine Hat.
The image below demonstrates one of my first attempts at 'ghosting'. I've combined an archival shot of the Foundry with this picture I shot in 2012. It's a pretty cool effect showing a portion of the old structure and how the surroundings look today. Notice how the windows have all been covered now, for instance.
Alberta foundry tractor production ca. 1920
Alberta Foundry & Machine Company ca. 1940s
When the Second World War hit, the Alberta Foundry and Machine Company was again reverted to shell production. By 1942 the Foundry had a record 150 employees, and by 1945 it had produced over 525,000 shells for the war effort. After WWII ended though, the company fell into a slump.
Shell production in WW2.
The Foundry was purchased in 1955 by T. McCavity & Sons, the faded paint of which can still be seen along the top of the brick facade today (with some of the old Alberta Foundry paint even showing through under that). By 1959 the Foundry was back in full production with 49 employees and producing hydrants and other municipal castings. The company was purchased by Clow Canada in 1990, and is still in operation today.
The archival images I found show the evolution of the structure over the years. A lot has surprisingly remained intact, like the faded paint marking the foundry and machine shop entrances. Most of the windows have since been covered, and a neighbouring brick building appears to have been demolished, but the surrounding area isn't all that different. It was a cool discovery for me, and even more interesting to find out that what was once the Alberta Foundry & Machine Company is still a working foundry to this day.
Alberta Foundry & Machine Company ca. 1915

Emulab - Network Emulation Testbed Home
Emulab is a network testbed, giving researchers a wide range of environments in which to develop, debug, and evaluate their systems. The name Emulab refers both to a facility and to a software system. The primary Emulab installation is run by the Flux Group, part of the School of Computing at the University of Utah. There are also installations of the Emulab software at more than two dozen sites around the world, ranging from testbeds with a handful of nodes up to testbeds with hundreds of nodes. Emulab is widely used by computer science researchers in the fields of networking and distributed systems. It is also designed to support education, and has been used to teach classes in those fields.
Emulab is a universally available time- and space-shared network emulator which achieves new levels of ease of use. Several hundred PCs in racks, combined with secure, user-friendly web-based tools, and driven by ns-compatible scripts or a Java GUI, allow you to remotely configure and control machines and links down to the hardware level. Packet loss, latency, bandwidth, queue sizes-all can be user-defined. Even the OS disk contents can be fully and securely replaced with custom images by any experimenter; Emulab can load ten or a hundred disks in less than two minutes. Emulab strives to preserve the control and ease of use of simulation, without sacrificing the realism of emulation and live network experimentation.

FicFest – Meet the Team
Introducing the fabulous, smashing, most definitely charming Team England! I like to think we’ve got all the class and a little bit of that cheeky, dry humor. Plus some of us really really like tea (not naming names, ahem).
Without further mumbling and stammering, here is Team England in all its glory!
Team Leader:

E’s Wish List:
Creepy, whimsical MG with strains of dark magic (think Coraline, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events).
Quirky, fun MG with a classic feel to it (think The Kneebone Boy, by Ellen Potter).
Fantasy of almost any kind.

Voice comes first before all else. So clear and addictive tones; precise and beautifully executed narratives. I am a sucker for dark and disturbing, but if the hook and great characterisation are apparent in those opening paragraphs, I’m in!
Ramon Ballard
Ramon Ballard grew up in Salt Lake City and was invisible throughout his schooldays (due to his shyness), unfortunately he had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons. Invisibility has definite advantages, especially when combined with a vivid imagination. He created magical, fantasy worlds with magical inhabitants.
Time does not stand still. Fantasy worlds evolve into mundane, everyday life. As he grew older, his whimsical travels to far off places diminished and his invisibility slowly faded into visibility. All foolish realms were forgotten, pushed into the furthest regions of his mind. Ramon grew up, but a small part of his mind, the part stuffed to overflowing with imaginary worlds, refused to get older. It appears as if he had a Peter Pan soul.
Ramon would tell the stories, once only heard by his imaginary friends to his own children. Alas children, like time, do not stand still, and grow too old for such nonsense. But for some reason he still loved his stories and would tell my wife “one day I will write a great children’s novel.”
One day Ramon’s life changed forever when his lovely wife told him to “shut up and write.” It seems that life has a way of going in full circles, late at night Ramon finds himself holding conversations with imaginary persons.
The rest is or will be history.

Response to Experiment 3: The Indian and the Ice
Time for my own ideas about this week's thought experiment. As a quick reminder, here is the problem I shared on Monday:
Dhara Gupta lived all her life in a village near Jaisalmer in the Rajasthan desert. One day, in 1822, as she was cooking dinner, she became aware of a commotion. She looked up to discover that her cousin, Mahavir, had returned from a trip he had begin two years before. He looked in good health, and over dinner retold them of his adventures.
There were tales of robbers, wild animals, great mountains and other incredible sights and adventures. But what really stunned Dhara was his claim to have seen something called "ice".
"I went to regions where it was so cold, the water stopped flowing and formed a solid, translucent block," said Mahavir. "What is more amazing is that there is no state between where the liquid thickens. The water that flows freely is only slightly warmer than that which has solidified."
Dhara did not want to challenge her cousin in public, but she did not believe him. What he said contradicted all her experiences. She did not believe it when travellers told her of fire-breathing dragons. Nor would she believe this nonsense about ice. She rightly thought she was too intelligent for that.
Baggini, J., The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten, 2005, p. 7.
We know now that Mahavir was completely right about his description of ice, but does that mean Dhara should have believed him? We don't know anything about his previous actions and general reliability, but Dhara seems to have committed quite a few fallacies in rejecting his report the way the thought experiment stated it. Just choosing the most obvious ones from the lengthy List of Fallacies on wikipedia (which contains 128 separate entries), we see Dhara falling prey to the:
Confirmation bias fallacy - the tendency to favor information that confirms one's beliefs or hypotheses and to ignore information that disagrees with one's point of view.
Appeal to the stone - dismissing a claim as absurd without demonstrating proof for its absurdity.
Argument from (personal) incredulity (divine fallacy, appeal to common sense) - I cannot imagine how this could be true, therefore it must be false.
Ad hominem argument - the evasion of the actual topic by directing an attack at your opponent.
Appeal to tradition - a conclusion supported solely because it has long been held to be true.
Still, should Dhara have accepted Mahavir's story exactly at face value? We didn't hear the story she heard in its entirety, but had she believed it, Dhara might have committed one of these errors:
Anecdotal fallacy - using a personal experience or an isolated example instead of sound reasoning or compelling evidence.
False attribution - an advocate appeals to an irrelevant, unqualified, unidentified, biased or fabricated source in support of an argument.
False authority (single authority) - using an expert of dubious credentials or using only one opinion to sell a product or idea.
Cherry picking (suppressed evidence, incomplete evidence) - act of pointing at individual cases or data that may contradict that position.
Appeal to authority - where an assertion is deemed true because of the position or authority of the person asserting it.
Taken together, those are a lot of potentially thorny issues to avoid in either direction. And that's the real point of this experiment - that it's difficult to change our minds and even harder to confidently add to our store of knowledge. But we do know the way to do so, even if it's slow.
When I was 13, I believed in the Christian God, I thought homosexuality was wrong, and I cheered on the second term of Republican President Ronald Regan. Now, at 43, every single one of those position have been reversed. Why? How? I was raised in an observant Catholic household in rural Pennsylvania that subscribed to The American Spectator magazine and had a membership in the NRA, so my early beliefs were clearly a product of my early environment. But somewhere along the line in one of my high school classes on biology, chemistry, or physics, it finally sunk in about how to question ideas and search for countervailing facts to test my theories. I learned about the scientific method, and the course of my life was changed. A class on logic during my freshman year in college helped me navigate the fallacies listed above and elsewhere too. I'm not certain I've found the right answers yet, but I'm at least certain I'm using the right methods to get there.
A few months ago when I profiled Francis Bacon - the father of the scientific method who introduced it with the publication of his book Novum Organum (New Instrument) in 1620 - I listed a few of his quotes that happen to be excellent reminders of what to consider when thinking about Dhara's issue:
But by far the greatest obstacle to the progress of science and to the undertaking of new tasks and provinces therein is found in this - that men despair and think things impossible.
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
There are still plenty of areas of inquiry that the scientific method has failed to confidently uncover - e.g. the best diet to eat, the best cure for diseases, the best forms of exercise - and in these realms we can really only act carefully and conduct our own experiments that contribute to the search for truth. And this is precisely what Dhara should have done in 1822 when she first learned about the properties of "ice"; she should have kept an open mind until more and better information came in.
What do you think? Are there any other issues you worry about when considering new facts?

Although they couldn’t make it to the trophy but their potential and hard work was widely evident to all the rival basketball teams. Milwaukee Bucks didn’t have to wait much longer for witnessing success in its professional career. After rigorous training sessions and hours of practice every day, their sixth game against Detroit Pistons was an easy win. This was the turning point for the team and marked the beginning of its success professionally.
Milwaukee Bucks is known for having the most talented basketball players in the industry. Every year the team adds to the list of Basketball Hall of Famers by inducting a new talented player. The latest addition is of Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone. Bucks are identified by the mascot, ‘Bango’ and are being recognized by the same logo for 33 years now. Dressed up in vibrant green, red and silver uniform, its players are well distinguished from the rival teams.
This sports season, Milwaukee Bucks is being trained by the head coach Scott Skiles and are managed by John Hammond. The coach and the manager, both, have a glorious past as far as playing basketball is concerned. Skiles has a greater winning percentage of matches as a player in the past and as coach now is also excelling. This year he has given his best to train the players for the upcoming championship. The schedule is all set and the sports magazines are already printing stories about the much talked about, upcoming basketball championship.

1692: The Salem witch trials’ last hangings
Add comment September 22nd, 2014 Headsman
This date in 1692 saw the last executions of the Salem witch trials.
Eight souls hanged from sturdy trees at Gallows Hill on the occasion:
Mary Easty (or Eastey)
Alice Parker
Mary Parker
Ann Pudeator
Wilmot Redd
Margaret Scott
Samuel Wardwell
Martha Corey, days after her husband Giles was horribly pressed to death for refusing to recognize the court’s legitimacy by lodging any plea
This group of mostly older women (and one man who married an older widow) had, like their predecessors over the course of 1692, been the victims of wailing children charging them (with afflicted histrionics to match) as supernatural malevolents — and of the credulity of their neighbors and judges.
The latter was, at least, eroding by this point in time.
Shortly before her execution this day, Mary Easty addressed to the court a dignified petition less for her own life than for the safety of everyone else who might come under her honorable judges’ scrutiny — indicted as it stood by Easty’s own certitude of her innocence.
To the honorable judge and bench now sitting in judicature in Salem and the reverend ministers, humbly sheweth that whereas your humble poor petitioner being condemned to die doth humbly beg of you to take it into your judicious and pious consideration that your poor and humble petitioner, knowing my own innocency (blessed by the Lord for it) and seeing plainly the wiles and subtlety of my accusers by myself, cannot but judge charitably of others that are going the same way with myself if the Lord step not mightily in.
I was confined a whole month on the same account that I am now condemned for, and then cleared by the afflicted persons, as some of your honors know. And in two days time I was cried out upon by them, and have been confined and am now condemned to die.
The Lord above knows my innocency then and likewise doth now, as at the Great Day will be known to men and angels.
I petition to your honors not for my own life, for I know I must die, and my appointed time is set.
But the Lord He knows it is, if it be possible, that no more innocent blood be shed, which undoubtedly cannot be avoided in the way and course you go in.
I question not but your honors do to the utmost of your powers in the discovery and detecting of witchcraft, and witches, and would not be guilty of innocent blood for the world. But by my own innocency I know you are in the wrong way.
The Lord in his infinite mercy direct you in this great work, if it be His blessed will, that innocent blood be not shed.
I would humbly beg of you that your honors would be pleased to examine some of those confessing witches, I being confident that there are several of them have belied themselves and others, as will appear, if not in this world, I am sure in the world to come, whither I am going.
And I question not but yourselves will see an alteration in these things. They say myself and others have made a league with the Devil; we cannot confess. I know and the Lord He knows (as will shortly appear) they belie me, and so I question not but they do others. The Lord alone, who is the searcher of all hearts, knows that I shall answer it at the Tribunal Seat that I know not the least thing of witchcraft, therefore I cannot, I durst not belie my own soul.
I beg your honors not to deny this my humble petition for a poor dying innocent person, and I question not but the Lord will give a blessing to your endeavors.
Mary Easty
As she herself foresaw, Easty’s petition availed her own self nothing — but her judges would soon feel the rebuke Easty voiced.
Exactly why the Salem witch trials started when they did, and ended when they did, has always been a speculative matter. This occasion was a mere 15 weeks after the first Salem witch hanging. It was the largest single mass-hanging of the affair, and it brought the body count to 19 or 20, depending on whether you count Giles Corey. (His death by pressing wasn’t technically an “execution,” merely the violent termination of his life by a legally constituted judicial process.)
The snowballing investigation, sweeping up dozens more accused besides just those executed, was making people uneasy. It surely hastened the end of the hysteria that the little accusers started pointing their witch-detectors at people with actual power — notably at the wife of Massachusetts Gov. William Phip(p)s.
Phips had initially established the special Court of Oyer and Terminer that was finding his little colony honeycombed with necromancy. Now considering his creature to be run amok and targeting “several persons who were doubtless innocent,” Phips stopped proceedings in October — first, by barring so-called “spectral evidence” (which was tantamount to barring the trials altogether since kids claiming to be tormented by underworld spirits was the only evidence on hand); and on October 29, dissolving the court altogether and prohibiting further arrests.
A special court established to try the remaining 52 cases in January of 1693 acquitted 49 of the prisoners; the rest, and all those still in jail for witchcraft, were pardoned by May of 1693. Within just a few years, jurors and judges and even accusers issued public mea culpas for hanging the Salem “witches”.
The original witch-court’s Judge William Stoughton joined Cotton Mather in pridefully refusing to acknowledge the injustice they had helped to author.* Among most others, it would very quickly become shamefully understood that Salem had done the accused witches a very great wrong.
John Hale, the Puritan minister of nearby Beverly, Mass. — and like Gov. Phips a man who had had his own wife chillingly accused by one of the “possessed” brats — would later write a book ruminating on “the nature of witchcraft” (like Mary Easty, he wasn’t quite ready to give up the concept categorically). In it, he notes the forehead-slapping indicia of the witches’ innocence — and if we dock him points for obtaining his wisdom retrospectively, we might also consider as motes in our jaundiced eyes the ridiculous non-evidence and overlooked exculpations that have served to seat men and women on the mercy chair in our own time.
It may be queried then, How doth it appear that there was a going too far in this affair?
Answer I. — By the number of persons accused. It cannot be imagined, that, in a place of so much knowledge, so many, in so small a compass of land, should so abominably leap into the Devil’s lap, — at once.
Ans. II. — The quality of several of the accused was such as did bespeak better things, and things that accompany salvation. Persons whose blameless and holy lives before did testify for them; persons that had taken great pains to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, such as we had charity for as for our own souls, — and charity is a Christian duty, commended to us in 1 Cor. xiii, Col. iii.14, and many other places.
Ans. III. — The number of the afflicted by Satan daily increased, till about fifty persons were thus vexed by the Devil. This gave just ground to suspect some mistake.
Ans. IV. — It was considerable, that nineteen were executed, and all denied the crime to the death; and some of them were knowing persons, and had before this been accounted blameless livers. And it is not to be imagined but that, if all had been guilty, some would have had so much tenderness as to seek mercy for their souls in the way of confession, and sorrow for such a sin.
Ans. V. — When this prosecution ceased, the Lord so chained up Satan, that the afflicted grew presently well: the accused are generally quiet, and for five years since we have no such molestation by them.
In 300-odd years since September 22, 1692 on Gallows Hill, nobody else has been executed for witchcraft in the United States.
* Stoughton clashed with Phips to the extent of actually ordering in January 1693 the executions of old sentences that had been stayed for pregnancies or other reasons. Phips immediately blocked them, causing Stoughton to resign the bench.
Stoughton was no ordinary magistrate: he was also the sitting Lieutenant Governor, and would succeed Phips as the head man in Massachusetts. Had he been the man with executive power at the time all this toil and trouble bubbled over, considerably more than 20 souls might have been lost to the madness.

1963: Oleg Penkovsky, Cuban Missile Crisis spy
Add comment May 16th, 2013 Headsman
It is 50 years today since Soviet military intelligence officer Oleg Penkovsky was executed for spying for the Americans.
Penkovsky, whose father died fighting for the anti-communist Whites during the Russian Civil War, lived up to his western handlers’ HERO codename by tipping the Soviets’ operational plans for missile deployment in Cuba — helping precipitate the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This speech inaugurated some of the darkest days of the Cold War … but they were probably even worse for Oleg Penkovsky, who was arrested just hours before Kennedy delivered it. He might have been shopped by a U.S. intelligence mole working for Moscow.
Penkovsky and his British contact, businessman Greville Wynne, faced a public show trial in May 1963 — resulting in the spy’s prompt execution. (Wynne got a prison sentence, and was later exchanged back to the West for Portland Spy Ring principal Gordon Lonsdale.)
The late spy’s journal was published in 1965 as The Penkovsky Papers. A variety of documents from Penkovsky’s CIA case file are available on the spy agency’s own site.
As befits the shadow world of espionage, Penkovsky’s activities and motivations are still disputed to this day. While some consider him among the most valuable/damaging spies in the Cold War, former MI5 officer Peter Wright claimed that Penkovsky was a loyal Moscow agent all along actually trafficking disinformation — and that he was not executed at all but cashiered to a comfortable secret retirement after his show trial “condemnation.”
But here’s the conventional take:

1968: Karol Kot, the Vampire of Krakow - 2018
1946: Bruno Tesch and Karl Weinbacher, Zyklon-B manufacturers - 2017

Gasparilla Guide 2020
January 16, 2020 Downtown Tampa Gasparilla Gasparilla 2020 Gasparilla Tampa Gaspy Pirate Fest Piratefest Pirates South Tampa Tampa History Tampa Pirate Fest Ybor City
Another year has come and with that, the future of our city is at the mercy of the pirate invaders.
Happy New Year, Tampa! It's now January, and that can only mean one thing... It's GASPARILLA season! This is the most important season for the city of Tampa. Now, for those of you who are looking for information, or simply looking to impress your friends, lets discuss the details of Gasparilla.

Blind Tiger Cafe: A Zoo of Flavor
It's time to start trying some businesses that I wouldn't normally go to. A coffee shop is the perfect way to start!
Blind Tiger, 2018
While Seminole Heights may be known for their awesome restaurants and craft beer scene, the new emerging scene is the coffee shop. With The Independent's cafe, Spaddy's Coffee Co, and now, The Blind Tiger Cafe in the mix, Seminole Heights continues to become a destination for independent. Of course, there's also the Starbucks, but we'll ignore them for now. Bling Tiger didn't start in Seminole Heights, though. The original location is in Ybor City. And, while I do want to stop in there, I have yet to get the chance. The term "Bling Tiger" is another name for a speakeasy, and Bling Tiger Cafe, being huge fans of history, use this as their concept. The spaces are meant to feel like you stepped into an illegal drinking joint. But you didn't come here for that.
So, Stormy and I are driving through Seminole Heights on New Year's Day, looking for something that's open. Anything. When Stormy utters one of her usual phrases, "I want coffee." We just so happened to be passing by the Seminole Heights Bling Tiger location, so why not? Pull into their small (this is Seminole Heights) parking lot and walked into a (also) small, intimate space. The mix matched furniture adds an interesting, homey feel to the space. They offer us cold brew, Kombucha, teas, and your typical hot coffees.
Blueberry Pomegranate Herbal Tea, 2018
I have to be the one person on earth who absolutely hates hot drinks. This dates all the way back to childhood. I never liked hot chocolate, never liked coffee, and can only do hot tea when really, really sick. Luckily, Blind Tiger serves up a whole bunch of different teas. I decided to try a blueberry pomegranate herbal tea with a small pinch of sugar (to keep the doctor happy). There are many fruit flavors that go really well together: Lemon and lime, lime and cherry, apple and banana... And blueberry and pomegranate quickly became a new favorite. Alas, the tea isn't all we got, as Stormy was still chugging away at her drink.
Caramel Iced Latte, 2018
When one thinks cafe, they tend to think coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker at all, but Stormy loves it. She ordered a caramel iced latte and the gentleman working started pressing the coffee grounds to run through the machine. About five minutes later, this majestic cup of iced joe was sitting on the counter, ready for a pickup. Stormy has had a few problems recently with some of the coffee places in Ybor, and she says that it was refreshing to finally have a cup that tastes good and that didn't resemble dirty dish water. I didn't taste it, but I can state that the smell was wonderful.
Is it the same picture? I wont tell., 2018
Things to know before you go:
- The parking lot is small and the inside seating area is also pretty small.
- While the drinks are amazing, they take a few minutes. If this place were to get busy, I imagine it'd take quite a while to get your drink.
- The inside is definitely cozy. It was cold and rainy when we went and the inside was exactly what we needed to get out of that weather.
What's your favorite type of coffee drink? Do you enjoy fruit flavored teas? Leave a comment below.

Cuban Sandwich Festival: Tampa Pride
When you come to Ybor City, you think of one thing.
Ybor City Chicken, 2018
No, not the chickens...
Angelo's Deli & Cafe, 2018
Yes, we're talking about the Cuban Sandwich. The sandwich that defines the city of Tampa. But, before I even talk about the festival, lets dispel some rumors about this sandwich.
"But Mark, the Cuban Sandwich was invented IN Cuba!"
No. No it was not. The sandwiches made in Cuba were called "Sandwiches" in the same way that the sandwiches you make aren't called "American Sandwiches," in the same way that the sandwiches made in Italy aren't called "Italian Sandwiches." Cubans did have a sandwich called a Mixto. A mixto essentially meant that there were mixed meats on their sandwich. Pork and ham were two prominent ingredients, but a mixto never had a true recipe. It is believed to have led to the Cuban Sandwich.
"But Mark, the Cuban was invented IN Miami."
Look, Ybor City was founded close to a d…
The Hall on Franklin: Dining Redefined
You two can never agree on what to eat? Well, how about a selection?
The Hall on Franklin, 2018
Tampa is a city that is growing. When populations start to rise and areas start to become more populated, new businesses start to open, and some take chances. The Hall is one of those types of places. Located in Tampa Heights (between Seminole Heights and Downtown Tampa), The Hall is one of the newest additions to an area that's quickly becoming known as a foodie paradise. You have Ulele, The Heights Public Market, Hidden Springs Ale Works, and many other cool little hangouts all around the area with Waterworks Park to keep the area green. But you didn't come here for that.
Inside The Hall, 2018
So, to give you an idea of how this place is set up: The area has a handful of bars, which are open seating. Then you have a massive dining room that's divided up into smaller areas to give off an intimate-ish feel to it. Along the back wall are the various restaurants that are set up. The…
Ulele: Beer + Eats in Tampa Heights
The Heights have had no shortage of restaurants opening over the years. Meet Ulele.
Ulele, 2018
If there's one other Tampanian who loves this city as much as I do, it's Richard Gonzmart. You may know the name as the man behind The Columbia, or perhaps Goody Goody, or maybe even heard his name from some of the other restaurant plans he's made around town. One thing is for sure, Gonzmart loves the history of Tampa. The Columbia is the oldest, continuously running restaurant in the southeast, and the food takes you back to the early days of Ybor City. While that's cool, Ulele's menu takes you back to a time before Tampa. But before we can get to the food, allow me to introduce you to the legend.
Princess Ulele, 2018
First thing's first, the legend dates back to the 1500's, during Spain's initial run through Florida. The name "Ulele" was first written in 1859. In other words, the name Ulele was, more than likely, not actually her name. And, like Gas…

Israel Pays for Additional F-35s
Program progress, politics, orders, and speculation

Israel holds firm on increasing F-35 purchase
15 April, 2016 BY: Arie Egozi, Tel Aviv
Israel's desire to acquire additional ..F-35 is likely to be advanced even if Washington does not agree to increase the level of Foreign Military Financing (FMF) made available to the nation. The Israeli government has asked its US counterpart for a 10-year FMF package that will include an annual grant of $4.1 billion. Negotiations are continuing in an effort to reach agreement while US President Barack Obama is still in office.
However, speaking on 13 April, Israeli sources said the purchase of additional F-35s is "already in the pipeline", regardless of whether the requested funding increase is approved.
Israel has signed contracts for the purchase of 33 conventional take-off and landing F-35As. ..and deliveries are expected to begin early next year. The Israeli air force .. with the further units to enable it to equip two squadrons.
Source: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/israel-holds-firm-on-increasing-f-35-purchase-424268/
......I believe this is the first time for the Israeli F-35 program where they are showing an "evident" interest in the F-35 by spending Israeli money (not in the FMF budget). Has this occurred in previous types, F-15/16s ???
Perhaps a moment of pause for the program doubters, when a user who will "fight" with the a/c pays for additional a/c.
A bit different from those who will cruise around in "airshows (a-a intercepts/ escorts)" or engaging only ground pounders.

Not really, for them any politicians/military brass who want the F-35 were obviously paid off by LockMart, so to them this just means LockMart paid them more and now they're going to go back to the government to wring more money out of the taxpayers.
les_paul59
Haha, so true vanshilar....What the basement dwellers don't realize is the fact that the Israelis are buying the f-35 is one of the greatest endorsements of its capability.

Hell even the DOT&E guys are saying F-35 is going to be great. The international partners especially israel which is well respected approve.
So they are all bribed now lol

Israel prepares ground for F-35I testing
31 May 2016 Arie Egozi
"The Israeli air force's chief flight test engineer wants an early as possible delivery of its Lockheed Martin F-35 test asset, to expedite the process of adapting locally-produced weapon systems to the aircraft.
Israel's contracts for the F-35I "Adir" include a test example, which will be operated by its flight-test centre.
According to the centre's chief flight-test engineer – identified only as Lt Col Ori – the test aircraft will also have an operational capability, but its main duty will be to enable the development of Israeli systems to enhance the F-35's combat capabilities for Israel.
"We will have to test Israeli-made weapons systems, so that they can be carried in the weapons bay of the aircraft – and test it under different situations," he says.
Israel's first two F-35s are scheduled to land in the nation on 12 December. Adaptations for its air force include enabling the fighter to carry Rafael's Python 5 and Derby air-to-air missiles, along with the same company's Litening 5 targeting pod.
Another six F-35s will be delivered to Israel in 2017, with its air force having so far committed to acquiring an additional 25 conventional take-off and landing examples."

It’s two weeks to the touchdown of the world’s most advanced fighter jet in Israel.
29 Nov 2016 ANNA AHRONHEIM
"...Nonetheless, Israel is still said to be considering acquiring the F-35B Lightning II short takeoff/vertical landing jets. According to Lockheed Martin, the B variant “is designed to operate from austere bases and a range of air-capable ships near front line combat zones. It can also take off and land conventionally from longer runways on major bases.” This could be crucial at times of war when air force bases – and particularly runways – will likely be hit by enemy missiles and rockets.
On Sunday, the security cabinet decided unanimously to purchase an additional 17 F-35s, bringing the number of the advanced jets in the IAF to 50On Sunday, the security cabinet decided unanimously to purchase an additional 17 F-35s, bringing the number of the advanced jets in the IAF to 50."

What am I missing here? Why would Israel need or want a targeting pod on their F-35's? Isn't that built-in to the F-35?
Or is the US disabling that feature or capability on Israeli Xwings? Or is it a software release issue - that functionality will not be available for a few years and the Israelis need it from day one?
Take an F-16, stir in A-7, dollop of F-117, gob of F-22, dash of F/A-18, sprinkle with AV-8B, stir well + bake. Whaddya get? F-35.
I do not know what an Israel LITENING 5 targeting pod has innit. However searching/riffing usembassy one will find a graphic showing what is to come in BLOCK 4 that is not likely in BLOCK 3F. Probably 'SWP' later Block 4 graphic (in the BLOCK FOUR? thread viewtopic.php?f=62&t=27390 ) is probably more up to date. viewtopic.php?f=54&t=14259&p=303841&hilit=usembassy#p303841
IF the pod has comms then these are important to Israel CONOPs:
Rafael Unveiling Litening 5, RecceLite XR
15 Jun 2015 Noam Eshel
"...Rafael’s “image-based common targeting language,” also known as Matchguide, is integrated in the new pod. This allows rapid target handoff between the targeting pod or ground-based forward air controller and guided weapons carried on board. Matchguide is fully integrated in the Litening 5, enabling the pilot or ground controller to designate a target simply by touching its image on a display to deliver the targeting as coordinates or a scene to the attacking weapon. This method dramatically shortens the “sensor to shooter cycle.”..."

Rafael sees an increased market in the future because of the move to stealth platforms which must have targeting systems built in. The company is developing a new model to compete for the F-35 requirement. At present prototype F-35's have the equivalent of a Lockheed Martin Sniper XR built in."

"...The longer-than-expected development path for the Lockheed Martin F-35 has played some part in the good fortunes of its rivals – but bar Canada, all its expected participants remain on board. Japan has just received its first example to support training, and the lead two F-15Is will head for Israel in mid-December.

Israel 'Ready' to Operate F-35s Without Ever Actually Flying Them
08 Dec 2016 Barbara Opall-Rome
"TEL AVIV – Israel’s scheduled Dec. 12 receipt of its first pair of F-35I Adir (Awesome) fighters caps nearly a decade of planning, and that’s all before a single Israel Air Force pilot has actually taken to the skies in its new stealth weapon.
Israeli pilots have been training at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona for more than a year, but unlike F-35 compatriots from the US, Norway, Australia and other nations who are actually flying the fifth-generation fighter, Israel has elected to limit pilot training to course work and the high-fidelity simulator built by prime contractor Lockheed Martin.
“We haven’t yet flown on the plane. That was our choice,” a general officer on the Israel Air Force (IAF) headquarters staff told Defense News.
“Decades ago, when we prepared for our first F-15s and F-16s, we needed to fly in the aircraft. But today, the situation is different for two key reasons: Firstly, the simulators are so reliable and secondly, it’s a single-seater. So it doesn’t matter if we fly here or there, because there’s no instructor up there with you in the cockpit,” the senior officer said.
He added, “We’ve gone through extensive simulator training and we’ve received all the information we needed through wonderful cooperation. … From our point of view, once they land here on 12 December, we’re ready to fly.”...
...Col. Asaf, the deputy commander of the F-35I’s designated home base at Nevatim, told reporters here that work to stand up the new Adir Squadron started about 18 months ago. The officer, whose surname was withheld for security reasons, said the sprawling base – one of three built after the 1979 peace treaty with Egypt – would house five operational squadrons, including the new 140th Squadron of new F-35Is....
...The F-35 simulator will feature prominently in the expanded Nevatim base, officers here said.
By the end of next year, with nine F-35Is delivered into Israeli hands, the service expects to be in a position to declare Initial Operational Capability (IOC), officers here said....
...Future plans include acquisition of another 25 F-35Is – possibly F-35B-model short-takeoff and landing versions – which would up Israel’s stealth force to a full 75 aircraft."

Wait, wait! Can they do that?!? Are they sure? Gilmore says the F-35 is behind schedule and may never fulfill its full combat potential!

Let’s talk about Sunday night’s TV!
“Crisis on Infinite Earths”: I loved the use of drones during the big fight sequence; it felt new and interesting.
What was pleasantly surprising about the hour was how funny it was. (Some of it was due to Brainy and Kate, and neither was trying to be funny, but it was great.) And, uh, Oliver’s death is going to really, really, really mess things up. I just hope Barry doesn’t totally mess with time to try and make the events of “Crisis” better.
THE ROOKIE: Man, Lucy deserves better. And Tim is going to feel so, so, so much guilt for encouraging her to go out to drink. I don’t think for a second they’re going to kill her off, but the next episode looks insane.
(Also: Annie Wersching is so good at playing deranged.)

Geovany Miranda, No Rest - 19
Originally published Sept. 30, 2012
Geovany Miranda was eager playing infield for the short-season Eugene Emeralds in July 1990.
The Panama-native was on his third season of professional baseball. And he knew what he needed to improve, that was to play, according to The Eugene Register-Guard.
"I want to play baseball," Miranda told The Register-Guard that July. "I want to play every day. I do not want to rest."
Baseball is what brought Miranda to the United States, signed by the Royals as an undrafted free agent in 1988.
Years later, long after his playing career was over, it was baseball Miranda turned to stay in the United States.
Miranda's first stop with the Royals was in the rookie Gulf Coast League. He played there his first two professional seasons. He hit .231 his first season there and .311 his second.
He moved to single-A Appleton in 1990, getting into 55 games there, but hitting only .227. By mid-year, he moved back to Eugene, hitting .338 the rest of the way.
Miranda returned to Appleton full time in 1991, hitting .236, with 28 stolen bases. He started 1992 at high-A Baseball City, but moved quickly to the White Sox system.
With the White Sox, Miranda stayed in the Florida State League, at Sarasota. The next year, he played between Sarasota, single-A Hickory and he got his first look at AA, at Birmingham.
His final year as a player came in 1994. Miranda played 55 games at high-A Prince William. He also got his only 16 games at AAA, at Nashville.
From there, Miranda became a scout for the Blue Jays in his native Panama. By 2001, he was back in the U.S. coaching in the minors. By 2002, Miranda settled in Charleston, W.V.
Miranda settled in Charleston, co-founding a baseball program called West Virgina Team USA, The Charleston Gazette wrote. But he wasn't an American citizen. By June 2010, he and his family were in danger of being sent back to Panama, pinning his hopes of a new visa on his experience in the game.
"The greater Charleston valley ... is in great need of trainers and teachers for all sports, especially baseball and girls softball," John Wilcox, West Virginia Team USA owner wrote in a letter supporting Miranda staying in the U.S., according to The Gazette. "The market for individual and team instruction is huge and Mr. Miranda's expertise has surpassed our expectations."

Was MJ The Last English Star In India? Has India Gone Back To Its Roots?
September 4, 2009 ~ Harshad Oak
Michael Jackson, the ‘king of pop’ was today finally laid to rest, 10 weeks after his death. Michael Jackson was easily the biggest global entertainer ever. Through the 80s and 90s he enjoyed unfathomable levels of popularity across the globe and India was no exception. Thinking of MJ got me thinking of impact of western culture & entertainment on Indians, and it suddenly dawned on me that MJ was perhaps the last English superstar in India.
English music made major inroads into Indian life and culture in the early 90s, with the arrival of cable TV and MTV. India then was a small player on the global scene and Indians as such were nowhere near as prominent on the world stage as today. So copying the west was pretty much the norm in all walks of life. In arts, lifestyle and music; what was cool for the west was cool in India. Indian artists were rapidly losing mind share to Michael Jackson, Madonna and many other English artists. MJ’s popularity in particular was quite astonishing as not one Indian could decipher or comprehend his lyrics. So in school we just went “Dhan Dhan Dhan..Dhan Dhan… I am Bad I am Bad.” and that was good enough for us to think that Bad was a super album from MJ.
However around the year 2000 things started changing. India emerged as a software power, urban Indians had some extra cash in their pockets and Indians for the 1st time felt that they were better at some things than the rest of the world. This had a rather strange effect. Indians now started questioning the ways of the west.Instead of blindly listening the English music as that was the cool or the in thing, we actually started thinking if we really liked it. Instead of directly adopting food served by McDonald’s or Domino’s, we started questioning if we really liked it. The answers were soon pretty obvious and the mad rush towards all things American slowed down drastically and almost stopped around 2004-05.
So MTV which earlier only played English music all day, now plays English music for only a couple of hours a day. McDonalds and Dominos only serve Indian versions of their burgers and pizzas, food that’s nothing like what they serve in the US.
Today Indians not only patronize and promote Indian movies and music they actually look down upon artists who seem to be copying the west. Good ideas are picked up from western culture and entertainment but they no longer are blindly copied. I can’t think of any western music or movie star whose popularity in India can even be compared with the likes of Indian stars like Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan.
While the rapid growth of the Indian economy was the primary reasons for the change, the Indian entertainment industry also deserves credit for sticking with what it was best at. Fortunately they did not give up on Indian style of cinema, and the audience slowly but surely came back to them.
So while English movies and music were considered a threat to the indigenous entertainment industry until 5 years back. English music & movies are nowhere near being serious competition today. The trend might have actually reversed. Slumdog Millionaire which is a true blue Bollywood style masala movie was a mega hit in the west. Many Indians liked the movie but most felt like they had seen 20 similar movies before.
Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest name in the Indian industry today and I am nowhere near being an SRK fan. However I was recently in the US for a couple of weeks and on the flight back home I was amazed at my reaction to an SRK movie. Not just did I find the SRK movie ‘Billu Barber’ refreshing but it also seemed like a cure for the monotony and homogeneity of the US. Indian cinema is crazy, absurd and wild. I can now understand why Indians in the US and elsewhere are so fond of Hindi movies. In the seemingly dry Western lives, Indian entertainment comes as a breath of fresh air.
Taking my point further, not only have Indians gone back to home grown Indian entertainment but even the regional language music and arts are now thriving again. Although Hindi is the national language of India, most in India, especially in the South do not speak Hindi as their mother tongue. These people are now even dumping Hindi entertainment and going back to their local language and entertainment. My conclusion is that it is all about self-confidence. Insecure and poor masses look outwards while the secure and prosperous take what’s really close their heart.
In all this, I am not suggesting that western entertainment or food is not as good as Indian. It is not about quality but about culture and connect. Coming back to my starting point, I do think that Michael Jackson was the last English mega star in India at least for sometime to come. It’s sad that someone who gave so much joy to so many, himself had a pretty miserable existance. Rest In Peace MJ.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) proved useless
I have argued that Energy Performance Certificates will not be quite the powerful tool for the good that Yvette Cooper et al are hoping for. Now Jeff Howell, who writes for the Daily Telegraph, has gone one better and shown just how useless they are by having two surveys carried out on his refurbished house in Suffolk, and analysing the results. The Sunday telegraph reported:
When the introduction of compulsory energy assessments for homes was announced, ministers insisted that they would be an essential tool in the fight against global warming.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), however, are so limited in their scope that they are incapable of delivering accurate results, a Sunday Telegraph investigation has found.
EPCs are a key element of the controversial Home Information Pack scheme.
Hips become compulsory on Wednesday (July 25) for anyone selling or renting out a property with four or more bedrooms.
This newspaper booked two officially accredited assessors to evaluate the same Suffolk property last week. Each charged £100 plus VAT for a 35-minute inspection.
Not only were their estimates of energy use in the house markedly different, potentially affecting sale or rental value, but both inspectors overlooked crucial and clearly-defined energy-saving additions which have been made.
The three-bedroom cottage dates from 1850. Its owner, Jeff Howell, a columnist for this newspaper and a chartered surveyor, has carried out a £30,000 refurbishment over the last five years to bring it into line with 21st-century energy standards, including underfloor heating, hemp plastering, as well as roof and loft insulation.
Neither of the inspections registered that there was wall and floor insulation, and both failed to note insulation between the rafters.
As a result, the property's energy-efficiency rating and environmental-impact rating was graded either F or G - the two lowest on the scale.
To Mr Howell's dismay, both reports also accused him of using 75 per cent more energy than he estimates to be the case. "These guys seem to be little more than box-tickers," said Mr Howell, having studied their reports. "And unfortunately they haven't even managed to tick the right boxes."
EPCs are intended to give prospective purchasers and tenants an idea of a property's energy consumption, together with a list of measures that can be taken to cut fuel bills and carbon emissions.
This part of the Hips scheme has been introduced under the European energy performance of buildings directive.
Despite their troubled history, Yvette Cooper, the housing minister, has remained a staunch supporter of the packs. In May, it was announced that their introduction would be delayed by two months and phased in gradually after there were found to be too few energy advisers. Last week, the Government admitted £19.5 million has been spent on the scheme so far, although MPs have yet to vote on it.
When told about the true status of Mr Howell's property, Steve Younger, one of the assessors, said: "The EPC has merits in some areas, but only when used in conjunction with Home Information Packs. As a stand alone item, I cannot see why they would encourage anyone to buy a house or not buy a house.
"If you were going to rent a property, I think you'd look at two certificates and ask which was the best house. But our assessment is supposed to be a purely visual one. We are not obliged to be thorough."
The other inspector, John Anscomb, from Ipswich, said: "If the owner of the property had been able to show me what sort of modifications had been made to the property, I could have included that information in my report. I guess any system could be more robust." Grant Shapps, the shadow housing minister, said: "This is the latest example of the nonsense that lies behind Hips."
The Department for Communities and Local Government said: "EPCs are a comprehensive assessment of the energy efficiency of a home, with standards set by industry experts and endorsed by environmental groups.
"The quality of assessments will be fully monitored by each accredited scheme to ensure standards are met. Customers unhappy with an assessment will be able to challenge the result."

Lend Lease unit wins rail link contract
Infrastructure and construction group Lend Lease’s subsidiary Baulderstone has won the contract to manage the early works component of the North West Rail Link. The contract is estimated to be worth $70 million.
The long-anticipated project is scheduled to deliver a new 36 kilometre long rapid transit rail link between Chatswood on Sydney’s north shore and the growing Hill’s district in the North West of Sydney.
Under the contract, Baulderstone will work on the relocation of services and utilities; site readiness and demolition works; and the provision of HV electrical supply for the main works.
In a statement today Baulderstone’s NSW general manager, Frank Lorenzetto, said completion of early works is due in mid-2014.
The win comes a day before Lend Lease reports its 2012 full year profit, which will be a welcome distraction from the recent asbestos concerns at its $6 billion Barangaroo South project.
Last week Lend Lease revealed that small pieces of fibro cement material containing bonded asbestos have been found at Port Kembla.
Andrew Wilson, the managing director of Barangaroo South said the group had correctly followed all agreed procedures to spot and remove fibro from the Barangaroo South excavated material, including the additional testing and air monitoring measures.
“There has been no air borne asbestos identified,” Mr Wilson said.
In the results tomorrow, analyts at JP Morgan are forecasting Lend Lease to report a net profit after tax of $487 million, up 27 per cent on the $383.6 million in the previous corresponding period.
“Lend Lease continues to offers good risk adjusted value and leverage into a robust medium term earnings outlook with a number of near term positive catalysts, such as the Valemus business and the mixed use development pipeline),” the brokers say.
The chief executive of Lend Lease, Steve McCann has consistently said that the group will focus on expanding its global infrastructure and development business in the future. That will see it in partnerships with public and private groups.
The results will also include an update on the future of the athlete’s village that was the focus of the recent London 2012 Olympic Games, which will be converted into one of the largest mixed use residential and retail areas in Britain.

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure – Rule 23
AT&T v. Concepcion’s Rejection of the California Unconscionability Civil Code Statute
In 1925, apparently responding to mass hostility toward arbitration agreements, Congress passed the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which expressly codified the enforceability of contractual arbitration provisions, “save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract.” 9 U.S.C. § 2. It is this “saving clause” that provided the most formidable logical obstacle to the AT&T v. Concepcion majority’s creation of a plausible rationale for its holding.
Later, California pioneered the doctrine of unconscionability in both its common law and its statutory law, codifying the judicial authority to refuse enforcement of an unconscionable contract in California Civil Code section 1670.5(a) (and leaving no doubt as to the State’s policy choice about unconscionable contracts). Thus, the FAA’s “saving clause” would appear to quite straightforwardly apply, to the extent that California’s unconscionability doctrine bars the enforcement of all unconscionable contracts, not just contracts with arbitration provisions deemed unconscionable.
Faced with this reading of the FAA’s plain text, the Scalia-authored AT&T majority opinion offers what would be at best a C-plus exam answer, with a convoluted analogy to a case finding “unconscionable or unenforceable as against public policy consumer arbitration agreements that fail to provide for judicially monitored discovery.” AT&T v. Concepcion, 131 S. Ct. 1740, 1747 (2011). Expounding on the same idea, the opinion notes that “[o]ther examples are easy to imagine.” Id. No doubt they are, but this raises the question: How exactly is it that California Civil Code section 1670.5(a) doesn’t apply equally to all contracts? Section 1670.5 would seem to be the exemplar of a statute that puts contracts to arbitrate on “equal footing” with other contracts—the very equality that those who campaigned against arbitration abuse sought in fighting for and passing the FAA.
Yet after meandering through the implications of imagined statutes and implicitly conceding that California’s unconscionability doctrine does in fact apply equally to all contracts, the AT&T opinion simply concludes that as an “obstacle” to arbitration, the doctrine is preempted by the FAA—notwithstanding that the text of the FAA’s “saving clause” contains no such proviso. With an unexplained departure from his strict constructionist, stick-to-the-text jurisprudence, Scalia finds endorsements of arbitration’s efficiency in its legislative history sufficient to graft the necessary exception onto the FAA saving clause—ironic in light of Scalia’s embrace of the principle that “the act cannot be held to destroy itself.” Id. at 1748. In that the only way to deal with the FAA’s saving clause was to destroy it, though, that’s exactly what happened.
The full AT&T v. Concepcion opinion is available here.

Home / Jared’s Ironman Training
How does a nearly 13-year-old end up doing a half-ironman? The drive comes from Jared himself.
We have a rule that we do not allow any form of electronics in our house during the school week (unless it is needed for a school assignment). Because of this, our kids have always played outside and used their imagination. We can’t say if it was his love for being outdoors or the fact that he is fairly reserved child, but when he was introduced to the sport at the age of seven, it ignited a passion in him.
Since neither his father nor I were triathletes or even runners at the time his interest began, we had to research to see if it was feasible for someone his age to begin doing longer distances when the kids triathlons were no longer challenging for him. Additionally, we received full approval of his doctors who closely monitor his training. I know there has been a great deal of concern about what this will do to his growing body. The research we found proves that this will not harm him. The excerpt from the below article helps explain our feelings:
Should Kids Run Long?
Can too many miles ruin young runners?
By Jonathan Beverly
“It’s basically an urban legend,” says Cathy Fieseler, M.D., practicing sports physician on the board of directors of the American Medical Athletic Association. While you won’t find controlled studies on this, as you can’t put a group at health risk for science, Fieseler maintains, “You’ll find no data that kids will tear up ligaments, destroy cartilage or damage growth plates with high mileage. You don’t need to put a top limit on it. “William Roberts, M.D., medical advisor for the Twin Cities Marathon, has conducted several studies on young marathoners, a self-selected group of young high-mileage runners, and has come to the same conclusion. “Kids and mileage basically makes us nervous,” Roberts says, “but from all I’ve found, there is no harm being done; they are not getting hurt. If it is their choice, keep doing it.”
(to view the full article visit http://m.runnersworld.com/high-school-training/should-kids-run-long?page=single)
Jared started slowly with his participation in adult triathlons. He began on relay teams; his plan was to build up to racing alone by doing 2 races where he did just one leg of the race, then 2 races where he did 2 legs of the race. After three relay races, he altered his plan when he found out about a super sprint race. It was a perfect distance for him. He has continued to use a plan when “stepping up” to longer distance races. He was the biker on an Olympic relay team before attempting his 1st Olympic race on his own. He did 2 Olympic distances races in the 2012 season before doing a 1/2 Iron Aquabike at Oilman Texas last year. He did the Houston 1/2 Marathon, the MS 150 and 2 additional Olympics this year in preparation for this 1/2 Iron distance goal. He also did an Xterra Off-Road Tri this summer as well. The planning and execution skills he uses in training will hopefully help him become a more productive adult.
As far as his day-to-day training, most of his time is spent on non-weight bearing activities such as swimming and biking. He swims with Rice Aquatics year-round so the majority of his training is in the water. In the past, he attended weekly bricks with the Bicycle World Kids Club, but lately he has been training on his own. He was able to compete in Cross Country at school this year so for the first time he was able to actually practice running with kids his own age. Prior to that, the only running Jared did with other kids was in a local summer program put on by Coach Andy Stewart.
Jared’s goal is simple. He wants to finish a 1/2 ironman distance race and he wants to raise awareness for GAN for his siblings.
He has no aspirations about setting any time records. He is perfectly fine walking part of the run and he plans on stopping at all of the water stops (he doesn’t like eating while riding). As his parents, we want to make sure that he has fun and stays healthy. We emphasize nutrition and he knows what he needs to do to stay hydrated and energized for the race.
He LOVES this sport and would race every weekend if he could afford to do so. He volunteers at races in order to help pay his entry fees. He paid for 1/2 of his new mountain bike that he uses to commute to school with every day.
With most sports, you can just drop your child off at practice with the coach and then watch them compete. However, there were no triathlon teams available for kids who wanted to do adult races when Jared started. There were also no books I could read to help him figure out how to train. In our family, it is not the case of a parent “pushing” their child or trying to live through them. I remember watching him at his 1st adult triathlon and thinking “I could never do that”.
He has been an inspiration to our whole family. Since he started this sport, the rest of his immediate family has completed at least one Triathlon. His little sister, Lexi, did her first open water kids tri just 2 months after she got off her training wheels at age 4. Lexi enjoys tris but is happy to just do a few kids triathlons a year. Justin also did a few kid’s triathlons before it became so difficult for him to run. His dad, Dave, appeased him by doing a super sprint in April of 2012, but decided that he will be happy to bike with Jared, but will never do an open water swim again. I did my 1st super sprint tri on Mother’s Day 2011 and I am now training to do my 1st Ironman distance as well. Since I did not know how to properly swim (I swam without putting my head in the water), it was necessary for me to join a women’s tri training group and learn how to swim properly.
There was a story published a while ago that talked about how Tri training can really wreak havoc on families. In our family, it has done just the opposite. We get to spend time together while we train. How cool is it that my almost 13 yr old wants to hang out with his mom?
Ironically, Jared is not that fast nor does he have an intense competitive drive. My husband and I have tried to figure out why he loves this sport so much and wants to race whenever it’s feasible since he doesn’t care where he places. When his twin brother Justin was diagnosed with GAN and we asked him to come up with a name for his “campaign”, he picked Justin’s Triumph. It didn’t even dawn on me until a few weeks later when a friend pointed out how fitting that was for our family since the word “Tri” is in Triumph. Jared’s endurance and love for this sport is enabling us to reach out and make others aware of this fatal disease. Hopefully this increased awareness will bring in some big donations to help find a cure for this horrific disease. It’s Jared’s way of supporting his brother and sister.
I love all three of my children. They each have very different needs right now and I do my best to encourage them to set goals and then help them figure out what tools they need to accomplish those dreams. I never would have expected that supporting Jared would lead us to the triathlete life, but I am glad it did.

Navy’s Marine Commandos
By Vice Adm (Retd) GM Hiranandani
Issue Book Excerpt: Transition to Guardianship: The Indian Navy 1991-2000 | Date : 25 Dec , 2017
The need for Marine Commando (MARCOS) was first accepted in 1985 for the defence of offshore assets in Bombay High against clandestine attacks. The commandos’ task was to evict terrorists who had already taken over an oil production platform. Sanction was accorded for the raising of an “Indian Marine Special Force (IMSF)” and for commando version helicopters to fly them swiftly from Bombay to Bombay High.
Within two years their initial role widened. In end July 1987, the commandos accompanied the Indian Peacekeeping Force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka to deal with the secessionist LTTE’s marine elements that were operating in the shallow lagoons around Jaffna.
Marine Commandos are highly trained, elite ‘Special Naval Forces’ and can be recognised by their maroon berets and the commando badge over their name tally.
In 1989, the IMSF was renamed as the Marine Commando Force (MCF) and INS Abhimanyu became the parent (HQ) naval establishment for Chariot and Marine Commando operations. Abhimanyu is under the operational control of Flag Officer Maharashtra Area, who is responsible for the defence of Bombay.
In 1992, MARCOS East was formed and based at Vizag.
In order to infuse young blood, a voluntary category of commandos was introduced in 1995, termed as MARCO (General Duties) in addition to the existing MARCO (Advance) category who serve for 3 to 5 years.
The initial sanction for the IMSF was 38 officers and 373 sailors. In 1999, after seeing the effectiveness of the MCF in Operation Vijay during the Kargil war, sanction was accorded for an additional company of 29 officers and 246 sailors.
MCF Organisation
The MCF is organised as MARCOS East based at Vizag and MARCOS West based at Mumbai to cater for special operations on the Eastern and Western seaboards. In addition, one small MARCO unit has been based at Port Blair to meet the Special Ops requirements in the Andaman and Nicobar Command.
The Marine Commando Badge
To develop combat efficiency, the Special Forces of various Navies were studied. The Prahar concept was introduced in 1992. A Prahar consists of 8 commandos.
After qualifying as MARCOS, officers and sailors remain in the MARCO sub-cadre for 3 and 5 years respectively.
Role and Training
The roles of the MCF are:-
To conduct clandestine, surveillance & reconnaissance missions/operations and combat maritime terrorism.
To support amphibious operations and special force missions.
MARCOS undergo 10 weeks basic training in INS Abhimanyu followed by a three week Basic Para course at the Army’s Para Training School at Agra. They also undergo a basic Combat Divers course.
Basic training includes handling of arms, ammunition and explosives, unarmed combat, close quarter battle, jungle warfare tactics, para-jumping, kayaking, photography, ship intervention drills, hostage rescue, and recapture of offshore installations, SAS/SBS and chariot operations.
On completion of basic training, MARCOS join designated ‘Prahars’ for ‘on job’ and vertically specialised advanced training in:-
The language and culture of likely adversary areas, to enable them to operate and survive behind enemy lines.
Sniper competence and training on shoulder-launched missiles, MMGs, etc.
Sky diving with water-para jump capability.
Counter insurgency.
Making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with readily available items.
For special operations on land, MARCOS are required to be deployable from the sea and from the air. In the advanced phase MARCOS are trained in beach, coastal, riverine and jungle warfare. Candidates for advance training must have qualified in static line and freefall. The MCF is one of a handful of units in the world that is capable of para-dropping into the sea with full combat load and equipment.
Interaction with Other ‘Special Forces’
In the initial years, a few officers underwent the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training in the United States. In 1996, MARCOS trained with SEALS of the US Navy and acquired capability for water-jumps-at-sea.1
To keep themselves combat ready, MARCOS participate in joint exercises and training with foreign and Indian Army Special Forces.
Deployments between 1991 and 2000
1991 Operation Tasha. Two Prahars were deployed off the southern Tamil Nadu coast to interdict LTTE infiltration and the smuggling of arms and ammunition.
1992 Operation Zabardust. MV Ahat, an LTTE vessel smuggling arms and ammunition was intercepted off Madras by MCF personnel. They boarded the vessel and captured all the mercenaries before LTTE sank the vessel.
1993 United Nations Operation in Somalia. Four teams of MARCOS were deployed off Mogadishu in support of the Indian contingent in Somalia. The team provided Maritime Special Ops support to the Naval Task Force.
1995 Operation Rakshak. Two to four teams of MARCOS are deployed round the year in Jammu & Kashmir, at Wular Lake. This 250 square km lake, surrounded by mountains, was being used freely by militants to reach Srinagar, saving them from having to travel 100 kms through the mountains. In 1995, a team of MARCOS was positioned at the lake and within weeks, militant activity on the lake ceased.
In subsequent years, in addition to meeting the requirement of deterring militants from using the Wular Lake, MARCOS started operating on land and Prahars killed several militants and recovered a large quantity of arms and equipment.
1999 Kargil War. MARCOS assisted army operations during the Kargil war.

If you read the article carefully, you’ll realize it’s a combination of officers and sailors, with the ratio being somewhere around 3:1 respectively. Good luck!

Hey Manjeet,
MARCOS is a voluntary cadre/ branch of the Indian Navy for which you apply once you’re part of the Indian Navy either as an officer or a sailor. Good luck!

Col JP Singh on March 24, 2014 at 9:39 pm said:
In India we have so many commando’s that the whole issue has become confusing. There is also a game of one up man ship and playing on the other’s turf. The Army has its Special Forces, the Air force has its Garud and the Navy has its MARCOS. The MARCOS should be trained basically to support Naval Operations or operations in Coastal areas where their expertise may be required. One fails to understand why they should be training in Counter Insurgency Operations which are land based operations and basically the forte of the Army. Similarly Garud should be confined to their sphere of operations with the Air Force, though one fails to understand what kind of special operations the Air force would be launching. At best they could be used for SAR for downed pilots. There need to be clear cut lines for operational deployments and training should be carried for specific requirements. Let’s not try to produce Rambo’s, that’s only for Hollywood to do so.
srihari on March 26, 2014 at 8:21 am said:
why do army fellows have this complex that they are the sole force to have the special forces no other force should have this capability what is wrong in having the counterinsurgency capability, have you dreamt of the future combat will be compartmental type world over whoever can afford they are developing this capability, let us see your spl force done 1971 they were not upto mark
Col JP Singh on March 27, 2014 at 10:55 pm said:
Srihari you need to re read what I have written. Lets be practical, you cant have MARCOS fighting Bodo militants, or the NSCN and so forth. Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of employment and deployment of the special forces. You need to read more and get educated. The Army doesn’t have a complex about it and perhaps you wont understand the complexities of inter-service co operation which is quite shabby with each lobbying in the corridors of defence ministry. We are a laughing stock there and the babus love to play one against the other. Lastly you are unable to express yourself clearly and from your command over the language I am able to understand your that you do not have much of insight into these matters. The inception and employment of special forces is a serious matter and needs careful consideration. Till now most haven’t been tested in actual combat conditions – the state of affairs can only be gauged when you are tried and tested. The Armys Special Forces have been in it for long and have proved themselves. I am not here to rake up issues of inter service rivalry and one up man ship, I leave it to those that like to indulge in such like pursuits. I am talking about some practical and real time issues and aspects about special forces. Thank You.

Aditya Mookerjee on September 19, 2013 at 4:35 pm said:
The MARCOS must be sent for peace keeping missions as the Garuda commandos are now on U. N. peace keeping missions. It seems apparent, that having combat effectiveness is a multi faceted vision, and perhaps our elite commando units can have a perspective on the matter. It did occur to me, when I was reading the section on the MARCOS, that this is an important consideration. I looked up the wikipedia on the Garuda Commandos and found that they were on U. N. peacekeeping missions in Somalia.

Mountaineers are celebrating their club's half century, with members having spent 50 years scaling peaks as far afield as
the Alps and the Arctic Circle - from their base in Lincoln. The Lincoln Mountaineering Club was formed in 1959 after founder member Brian Tinker placed a notice in the Lincolnshire Echo seeking like-minded people.
ON TOP OF THE WORLD: Lincoln Mountaineering Club have produced a book to celebrate 50 years of adventures. Pictured are members from the 1970s at
the Matterhorn Summit on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
And now the 62 member group, who make regular trips to the heights of Scotland, Wales and the Peak District, have
compiled a history of their society - with pictures of daring expeditions up crags and stories of camaraderie compiled
into a new journal.
Andrew Reynolds, 69, is the club's oldest member, and compiled the new book. "For many years it was just over 30 members but over the last few years it's gradually grown," he said. "The ethos is the same as it was 50 years ago but the emphasis has changed slightly - it's moved more towards climbing.
He said the friendship of the members is one of the main reasons for their success and in his case he even found love.
"Members help each other organise visits to mountain areas with Lincolnshire being rather flat.
"I've been a member since 1963 and met my wife through the club in 1968 - we've never looked back."
Thomas Oaks, 25, joined the club about two years ago, after having spent his youth seeing the enjoyment his father
John got out of being a club member.
"My dad joined in 1969 and I joined in 2007," he said. "As a youngster I was able to go away with him on occasion and see it was a good way to meet people and have a good time.
"The club is an excellent option for anyone that's interested in this sort of thing."
Mr Oaks now hopes he can go on to be a club leader and have input over some of the future peaks members will be conquering .

First Appearance: Red Sonja I#1 (January, 1977)
Powers/Abilities: Andar did not possess any powers, but was a ferocious leader and was probably very intelligent due to the extensive studying he had done since his youth.
(Red Sonja I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Andar of Bezfarda was just a young boy when he saw a beautiful white horse with a horn protruding from its head, feeding in an Argossean meadow. The sight of this magnificent creature burned a passion in his heart. He wanted to touch it, but before he could it ran off with incredible speed.
(Red Sonja I#1 (fb) - BTS) - After the experience Andar spent his entire life learning as much as he could about the mythical creature called a unicorn. His studies taught him two separate accounts of the animal. The one most accepted by people was that of a myth, a creature that was not real. The other stated otherwise; that one Andar believed, after all he had seen the animal. He also discovered that anyone who could catch the creature and claim its horn would be given the gift of eternal life.
(Red Sonja I#1 (fb) - BTS) - In his adult life, Andar built a kingdom of his own in the Argossean forests. He became the Cultish leader of a group of people who believed in his desire and destiny to one day catch a unicorn.
(Red Sonja I#1) - That day came, and in the very same forest where they lived, they cornered the beast with a horn on its head. Andar was desperate to learn if the rumors of eternal life were true. His followers tossed ropes over the unicorn as it tried frantically to escape. The unicorn thrashed about and hit a thick branch, snapping the horn from its head. Andar triumphantly lifted the horn over his head in jubilation.
Red Sonja, who had witnessed the ordeal, stepped in to save the unicorn and rode off on the animal's back. Andar of Bezfarda was furious. He had the horn, but he wanted the entire animal. He was plagued for days and nights by thoughts of the red haired woman and the animal, haunted by the nigh-mystic tie they had displayed. He called for their deaths as the only way to end the curse on their kingdom.
Andar labored in his workroom to create a potion using the unicorn's horn, using a method he had learned by following a pre-Cataclysmic formula to create his eternal youth nectar. He had almost finished drinking it when two of his cult members entered his workroom to announce they had found the two he had been looking for and feared. Andar angrily announced that he feared no mortal, and threw the unfinished bottle of potion on the ground. One of the two men, knowing what must have been in the shattered bottle, knelt down to lap it up, but Andar stuck a sword through his back.
With their location known, Andar plotted an ambush to kill Red Sonja and the unicorn at night, under cover of darkness. At the moment of the attack Andar noticed that the unicorn had grown a new horn and told his men to leave the animal to him. Moments later Red Sonja had been knocked unconscious by one of the cult members. Andar stood over her with a spear ready to plunge it into her body, but before he could the unicorn came up behind him. Andar turned and tossed the spear at the beast, but he only grazed it. With lightning speed the unicorn skewered Andar on its horn and then with a powerful thrust tossed his lifeless body several yards through the air. His life's work had become his fate. (See comments)
Comments: Created by Roy Thomas and Clara Noto (writers), Ed Summer (plot) and Frank Thorne (art and color).
In the history of unicorns, I have never seen it mentioned that a unicorn's horn or alicorn had ever been credited with giving eternal life, but in medieval times it was believed that the alicorn existed and could cure diseases and was an antidote to any poison. They were very valuable in those days as you can imagine and some museums such as the "Liverpool Museum in England" have an alicorn on display. This museum believes this alicorn is actually the tusk of a narwhal, a very rare arctic whale.
In one version of the history I read, it says unicorns themselves can heal, just by touching them, but it also states that the person must be pure of heart. In that case it might explain why Andar was not able to touch the animal; perhaps even as a child he was corrupt.
In his appearance the question is never quite answered about whether or not Andar had actually received eternal life, because we know he winds up dead. The scenarios I see are as follows:
His pre-cataclysmic formula may have been produced incorrectly.
The formula was correct, but being skewered on another horn neutralized the effects of the 1st.
The potion never worked in the first place.
My personal guess is that it never worked in the first place. Andar threw a bottle on the floor, shattering it, and one of his followers got a few drops lapped up but was killed by Andar with a sword. It is unlikely that Andar who had studied unicorns his whole life would mix the formula wrong. Just a thought.
The use of the name Andar of Bezfarda is used two or three times in Red Sonja I#1. It is unclear if Bezfarda was the birthplace of Andar or if it is the name of the Kingdom he now rules. In either case a Spanish web site with extensive Hyborian maps places Bezfarda in Argos.

Female - Herbs and Dysmenorrhea
by Paul Bergner
Medical Herbalism 10-31-97 9(3): 5-15
Mild to severe menstrual discomfort or other disorders of the menstrual cycle are among the most common medical conditions in North America. The normal menstrual cycle can vary from 21-35 days, with a duration of flow from 2-9 days, and a 30-60 ml blood loss (1-2 ounces). Disorders of the cycle can be due to the length of the cycle, length (or lack of) menstrual flow, and the amount of the flow. Medical terms and definitions for abnormal menstruation appear in the accompanying box.
Terminology for menstrual pathologies
Dysmenorrhea: painful menstruation, with cramping.
Menorrhagia: Excessive menstrual bleeding lasting longer than 7 days or blood loss exceeding 80 ml (2 2/3 ounces).
Hypomenorrhea: Scanty menstrual flow (less than 1 ounce)
Metrorrhagia: Irregular uterine bleeding.
Polymenorrhea: Episodes of menstrual bleeding occurring at less than 21 day intervals
Ethnobotanical and folk remedies abound for painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) and excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), but treatment for the other conditions listed in the box do not appear in most folk literature. As many as 75% of women experience pain during menstruation at some time in their lives, and 5-6% have incapacitating pain. The conventional treatment is pain-relieving medications, and, sometimes, birth control pills to prevent ovulation. Medical researchers today think that an imbalance of prostaglandins are responsible for menstrual pain. Prostaglandins in the lining of the uterus may be responsible for the cramping of the uterine muscles. Aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and many other pain-relieving medications inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, and this could explain why they also relieve some cases of menstrual cramps. Many herbs traditionally used for painful menstruation contain constituents that also inhibit prostaglandins. Ginger, (Zingiber off.) perhaps the most widely used emmenagogue in folk medicine, contains at least eight such constituents (10-dehydrogingerdione, 10-gingerdione, 6-dehydrogingerdione, 6-gingerdione, 6-gingerol, curcumin, p-coumaric-acid, quercetin [Beckstrom-Sternberg and Duke, 1994]). Other traditional plants for dysmenorrhea, including cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum),basil (Ocimum basilicum), American pennyroyal (Hedeoma pulegioides), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), juniper berry (Juniperus communis), and chamomile (Matricaria chamomile) each contain prostaglandin-inhibiting constituents (Beckstrom-Sternberg and Duke, 1994). Although the plants themselves have not been tested for pain-relieving activity, it is possible that these constituents are responsible for some of the effect observed in folk medicine. If prostaglandin-inhibition is a key action for relieving cramps, other natural therapies that promote prostaglandin balance, such as supplementation with magnesium or essential fatty acids, may be helpful.
A common topic in folk medicine as well as contemporary herbal texts is “delayed menstruation,” often listed hand-in-hand with painful menstruation, and the two pathologies, like the herbs that treat them, may overlap. “Delayed menstruation” in such literature refers to a brief delay of the normal period, within the normal limits above, in a woman who knows that she is not pregnant. Alternative systems of medicine such as Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Arabic consider that menstruation may be painful or slightly delayed due to a condition described in Chinese medicine as “stagnant blood.” An equivalent description in modern physiology would be deficient circulation to the uterine lining. The chief causes of “stagnation” described by traditional systems are lack Of exercise and exposure to cold weather. Spasm of the uterine muscle may also reduce flow, perhaps explaining the common overlap in traditional medicine between herbs for dysmenorrhea and emmenagogues that increase menstrual flow.
Emmenagogues and dysmenorrhea
Each of the herbs described above is described in folkloric or alternative medicine as a treatment for both menstrual cramps and for delayed menstruation (See Table 1). They are warming, spicy herbs that increase peripheral blood flow, causing flushing of the skin, and promoting menstruation. Their antispasmodic constituents may promote menstruation by relieving uterine muscle spasm as well. A computer search of a U.S. Department of Agriculture database of medicinal plants for antispasmodic activity in medicinal plants turns up a number of the traditional emmenagogue herbs. A cluster of antispasmodic plant constituents — borneol, bornyl-acetate, limonene, and caryophyllene — appears in most of the plants in Tables 1 and 2, and each of the plants also contains a number of other antispasmodic constituents (See Table 2, appended at end of footnotes). Although these constituents, when extracted from plants and tested individually, have antispasmodic properties, the plants themselves have not been tested in trials for menstrual cramps. It is possible that the cumulative or synergistic effect of such constituents explains their traditional use for cramps as well as for promoting menstrual flow.

Cramp bark, Black haw
Two species of the viburnum genus, cramp bark (Viburnum opulus) and black haw (Viburnum prunifolium), have been used in Native American medicine for menstrual pain and other types of spasmodic pain. The Cherokee, Delaware, Fox, and Ojibwa all used cramp bark, with the Delaware employing it specifically for menstrual pain. Both plants were used for menstrual pain or delayed menses in Thompsonian, Physiomedicalist, and Eclectic medicine.
The two species are used interchangeably in contemporary herbalism, but some differentiation may be made between them on the basis of prior medical use as well as on their constituent profile. The Physiomedicalist William Cook wrote in 1868 that V. opulus is primarily an antispasmodic, acting on the nervous system (Cook). V. prunifolium, according to Cook, is more useful as a uterine tonic for uterine weakness, prolapse, leukorrhea, and passive bleeding. Fifty years later, the Eclectic Harvey Felter wrote that both plants may be used as antispasmodics and tonics, but that V. opulus has stronger antispasmodic properties (Felter). Felter considered V. prunifolium to be one of the most important of the uterine tonics, saying that it was used as such “oftener than any other drug.” The Eclectic Finley Ellingwood agrees with Felter and suggests the prunifolium species as the best tonic, and V. opulus as having superior antispasmodic properties (Ellingwood).
The two viburnum root barks have similar constituents, except that catechin and epicatechin are present in V. prunifolium but not in V. opulus. Arbutin, salicin, and salicylic acid have been found in V. prunifolium (Duke, 1992), but not in V. opulus. Both plants contain the antispasmodic constituents esculetin and scopoletin. Both of these are soluble in alcohol, more so in hot alcohol, and insoluble in water. Note: Scopoletin is also present in the traditional Chinese emmenagogue and antispasmodic dang gui (Angelica sinensis), and is sometimes prepared with hot alcohol, i.e. heated after being sprinkled with rice wine. See “Dang gui” below.
The chief therapeutic error made when treating acute severe menstrual cramps is to underdose, both in the size of the dose and its frequency. The German author R.F. Weiss suggests minimum doses of 20-30 drops, and a maximum of a teaspoon (Weiss). Doses may be repeated every several hours. Ellingwood suggests 20 drops every hour.
Raspberry leaf
In contemporary North American and European medical herbalism, raspberry leaf (Rubus ideaus) is probably the most famous of the “women’s” herbs. It is used as a tonic for the uterus, treatment for menstrual cramps, excessive menstrual bleeding, preparation for labor, and for female infertility. The leaf has been used in Europe for nourishment during pregnancy and preparation for delivery since ancient times, and is still mentioned for these purposes today in North America in the folk medicine of the Amish (McGrath, 1985) and of the Hispanic Southwest (Moore, 1990). The Chippewa, Cherokee, Iroquois, Kwakiutl, and Quinalt tribes have all used raspberry leaf or related rubus species as gynecological medicines (See Table 3) (Beckstrom-Sternberg et al, 1995).

A 1941 study in the Lancet medical journal identified antispasmodic and uterine sedative properties in various extracts of raspberry leaf for a variety of animals, but little research has been performed since then (Burn, 1941). The research may seem old, but it was performed by J.H. Burn, M.D., professor of pharmacology at Oxford University, and was published as the lead article in an issue of the prestigious Lancet. The trial was inspired by the traditional use of the plant for female complaints. Researchers used several water-based extracts of the leaves of Rubus ideaus in a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and rabbits. They conclude: “In the course of this work, we have found that a principle is present which causes relaxation of the muscle of the uterus when this is tonically contracted, and which diminishes the force and frequency of rhythmic contractions [in labor].” Although the authors refer to “a principle” responsible for the uterine sedative effect, they speculate that more than one constituent in the water extract may be responsible. Table 4 shows constituents in raspberry leaf with properties that may account for the observed activities, although these have not been specifically tested in women.
Constituents in Rubus ideaus leaf which may confer uterine sedative properties
ethyl-acetate
magnesium (about 100 mg/ounce)
potassium (almost 400 mg/ounce)
Source: Beckstrom-Sternberg and Duke, 1994
Contemporary herbals have misinterpreted some of the findings of this trial to indicate that raspberry leaf will relax contracted uterine muscle, but promote tone in a relaxed muscle. This effect was seen only in the rabbit, not in the other animals tested, and only in the isolated rabbit uterus suspended in a water bath. Such conditions hardly resemble the normal human oral consumption of a tea. The researchers noted that the antispasmodic effect is predominant and that it increases with dose, and entitled their article “A principle...which relaxes uterine muscles.” They compared the pharmacological activities of the extract to that of tyramine, nicotine, and hydrastinine. The concentration of magnesium and potassium in raspberry leaf, both of which have antispasmodic properties, is within the range of oral therapeutic doses, an effect that may have been magnified because the extracts were given intravenously. The actions in Table 3, which shows some uses of raspberry leaf in the medicine of Native Americans, could all be attributed to antispasmodic effects.
Contemporary herbalists typically give raspberry leaf throughout pregnancy, or during the last one or two trimesters. Benefits on the uterine muscle may be partly due to long term nutritional tonic effects from calcium, magnesium, and/or potassium. The supposed antispasmodic effects of the plant would appear to contraindicate its use near labor. It is possible, however, that mild antispasmodic effects, relative to the strength of the contractions of labor, may normalize erratic or inefficient contractions. Such effects would be consistent with the traditional Native American use to reduce pain in childbirth.
Table 5 shows some of the minerals contained in an ounce of raspberry leaf. Strong decoctions of the leaf may be the best method to make larger amounts of the water-soluble minerals bioavailable. It is doubtful that small doses of the tincture would contain significant mineral content. The Physiomedicalist recommendation of an ounce of the leaf to a pint of boiling water produces a strong infusion or decoction. (Cook).
Mineral content of raspberry leaf (Rubus ideaus) (mg/ounce of dry leaf)

Iron 3.3
Manganese 4.8

Rubus and fertility
The manganese concentration, the amount in an ounce of the herb being about equal to the recommended dietary allowance for women, is unusually high for an herbal source, about twenty times the average of a sampling of fifteen common beverage teas (Pedersen; Beckstrom Steinberg and Duke, 1994), and may at least in part explain the traditional use of raspberry leaf for infertility. Manganese plays a role in so, many enzyme systems that its deficiency symptoms are very diverse. Current nutritional science says that gross manganese deficiency does not generally develop in humans unless it is deliberately withheld from the diet (Groff et al). However, manganese deficiency has been associated with reproductive disorders. Deficiencies have been associated with “compromised reproductive function” in animals (Groff et al), and infertility in cows has been related to insufficient manganese in overgrazed pastures (Hidiroglou; Barnouin et al). Neither manganese supplementation nor treatment with raspberry leaf preparations has been tested for efficacy in infertile humans.
Some contemporary herbals state that a uterotonic alkaloid called fragrine is present in raspberry leaf. No such alkaloid appears in any of the standard chemical references on plant alkaloids, nor in standard references for constituents in raspberry leaf.
Pennyroyal: potential toxicity
Various species of American pennyroyal (Hedeoma spp.) have been used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, and as emmenagogues and abortifacients, in the ethnomedicine of North American Indians and in the folk medicine of New England, New York, and the Hispanic Southwest (Beckstrom-Sternberg et al.; Janos; Meyer; Moore). No single constituent accounts for its effects — it contains at least five antispasmodic constituents, and six sedatives Most constituents are present in only small quantities, and may have no clinical effect in simple preparations of the whole plant. By concentration, the constituents pulegone and diosmin are most prominent.
The use of pennyroyal oil as an abortifacient has led to the deaths of several women in the U.S., with at least 18 cases of moderate to severe poisoning appearing in the scientific literature (Anderson et. al.). The presumed constituent responsible is pulegone, the main constituent of the essential oil. Pulegone is transformed into hepatotoxic metabolites in the liver (Mizutani et al; Thomassen et al.).
Anderson et al. reviewed all cases of hepatotoxicty in humans appearing in the scientific literature as of 1996, and concluded that a dose of 10 mL of penny-royal essential oil produced moderate to severe toxicity in humans. Hepatotoxicity may vary according to the size of the liver, the status of its glutathione antioxidant reserves, and the efficiency of the liver in transforming pulegone into the toxic metabolites. The authors did not identify a safe dose range.
There are no reports of toxicity in adults from consumption of pennyroyal tea (as opposed to the oil), the form most appropriate for dysmenorrhea. One scientific report showed a lack of abortifacient effects in a pregnant woman who consumed the tea during pregnancy (Black). Even teas, however, have caused death in infants who were given penny-royal as a treatment for colic (Bakerink et al). Presumably the smaller size or immaturity of the infant liver makes it susceptible to the toxicity of even the small amount of oil found in the tea.
Although the plant has a long traditional use as a emmenagogue and antispasmodic, it is probably not an effective abortifacient, according to personal communications with contemporary professional herbalists. Women taking the oil in attempts to produce an abortion are rarely successful. This “abortifacient myth” associated with pennyroyal oil can produce deadly results if a woman, thinking that a little bit higher dose will produce the desired effect, raises the dose toward the toxic or fatal level. Pennyroyal oil is contraindicated for internal use. Even external use of the concentrated oil may present a hazard. Native Americans used a wash of the plant as an insect repellant, but the concentrated oil applied to the skin may produce fatal results, especially in a child or small pet. Absorption of pulegone through the skin killed a dog who was treated with the oil for fleas (Sedekum et al). Vomiting ensued within two hours and the dog died within forty-eight hours.
Dang gui, dong quai
Dang gui (Angelica sinensis), sometimes marketed as dong quai or tang kwei, is one of the most famous herbs in China, and may be used there more than any other. It appeared in the oldest book of Chinese herbalism, The Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica, around the first century C.E. Dang gui, using terminology from traditional Chinese medicine, builds Blood, and also moves Blood. The condition of stagnant Blood is described above, and dang gui is one of the primary herbs used to treat it in Chinese medicine. Stagnant Blood might include spasmodic pain such as that which accompanies menstrual cramps or arthritis. Dang gui has both analgesic and antispasmodic effects. Table 6 shows some of its constituents that may account for the observed clinical effects.
Some activities of constituents in dang gui (Angelica sinensis)
Muscle relexant activity
scopoletin
Uterine sedative activity
Antispasmodic activity
bergapten
carvacrol
ferulic-acid
ligustilide
umbelliferone
Analgesic activity
falcarindiol
falcarinol
p-cymene
According to Foster and Chongxi, volatile constituents of dang gui relax smooth muscle, including the uterus. Non-volatile water soluble constituents stimulate uterine muscle. In China, dang gui is prepared in various ways that alter its properties by selecting these constituent fractions. Decoction removes the volatile constituents. Infusions on the other hand retain them. Sometimes sliced roots are sprinkled with alcohol (one part rice wine to ten parts of the root) and gently roasted. This may effectively extract the antispasmodic constituent scopoletin, which is soluble in hot alcohol, but not water. Scopoletin is also present in the antispasmodic Western Viburnum opulus and Viburnum prunifolium.
Angelica archangelica, or Western angelica, has traditionally been used as an emmenagogue, but it contains almost no constituents in common with A. sinensis. It does not contain ferulic acid, butyldenaphthalide, or butylphthalide considered by Chinese researchers to be key antispasmodic constituents in A. sinensis (the other key constituent being ligustilide) (Foster and Chongxi). Of the four, A. archangelica contains only ligustilide. The Western plant lovage (Levisticum officinale), which has been used in (China as a dang gui substitute (Foster and Chongxi), contains ligustilide, butyldenaphthalide, and butylphthalide. Levisticum also contains five volatile antispasmodic constituents in common with A. archangelica. The blood-building properties of dang gui may be due to the presence of folic acid, Vitamin B12, and other B-vitamins.
Dang gui is frequently combined with peony root (Paeonia lactiflora) (see below) and other herbs when treating menstrual cramps. The most famous women’ s tonic in China is the “four things decoction,” which combines equal parts of dang gui. peony root (Paeonia lactiflora), rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa), and ligusticum (Ligusticum sinensis). Peony root is described in detail below. Dang gui is a heating herb, and is not well-tolerated by individuals with signs of Heat in traditional Chinese terminology.
Peony root
Peony root (Paeonia lactiflora) is an important’ s women’s tonic in Chinese medicine. It is a primary treatment for menstrual cramps, and is often used in place of dang gui (see above) when heat signs are present and dang gui is contraindicated. It is also sometimes combined with dang gui to supplement and modify its activity. The chief constituent in peony root under investigation for pharmacological effects is paeoniflorin, which has been shown to have analgesic, muscle relaxant, antispasmodic, uterine sedative, and anti-inflammatory properties. {Picture 8}
A simple combination of peony and licorice (Glycyrrhiza spp.), a traditional Chinese formula, is approved for general use by physicians as an antispasmodic in Japan. The combination is best suited to spasms that accompanies an exhausted, deficient constitution, although it is used in Kampo medicine (contemporary Japanese medical herbalism) for Deficiency, Excess, Heat, and Cold conformations when severe spasm is present. Its antispasmodic effects are powerful enough that Chinese and Japanese physicians prescribe it not only for menstrual and digestive cramps but for such severe spasms as those that accompany gallstone and kidney stone attacks.
Chinese and Japanese researchers have conducted dozens of trials, mostly in laboratory and animal trials, into the pharmacological properties of the suspected active constituents in the combination, paeoniflorin, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhetic acid. See for example Harada, 1969; Kimura et al, 1984; Kimura et al, 1985; Kobayashi et al, 1990; Takeuchi et al, 1989 and 1990; Tamaya et al, 1986; and Sugishita, 1984. The combination may lower testosterone levels via action on the ovary.
Chinese peony root, the form used clinically for cramps in Asia, has the root bark removed, and is white with a pinkish cast to it. This form is generally not available through Western herb sources, and should be obtained through Chinese herb trade suppliers.

FY18 fundraising via equity market at record high of Rs 1.77 lakh crore
PTI29 March 2018 4:54 PM GMT
New Delhi: Indian companies raised Rs 1,77,116 crore during 2017-18 through the equity market route, the highest amount ever raised in a financial year, says a report.
IPOs and QIPs dominated the fund mobilisation route in 2017-18, the report by PRIME Database said on Thursday.
"2017-18 witnessed raising of Rs 1,77,116 crore through the public equity markets, 3.46 times that was raised in the preceding year," said Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database.
During 2016-17, Rs 51,120 crore was raised through equity market route.
The previous highest amount raised through equity market was Rs 86,710 crore in 2009-10, the report said.
Haldea said 2017-18 was the best year ever for initial public offer (IPO) market by far, the previous high being in 2007-08 when Rs 41,323 crore was raised.
The report further said 45 mainboard IPOs came to the market collectively raising Rs 82,109 crore.
The overall response from the public to the mainboard IPOs of the year was also very good, it said, adding 17 IPOs received mega response of more than 10 times.
Final response data of 6 IPOs is not yet available, the report noted. The amounts of mainboard IPOs of Karda Constructions, HAL, Sandhar Technologies, MIDHANI, ICICI Securities and Lemon Tree Hotels have been calculated on the basis of lower price band.
As far as retail investors are concerned, the year witnessed very good response from them as well.
Haldea said response to IPOs was further buoyed by strong listing performance. Of the 38 IPOs which got listed, 17 gave a return of over 10 per cent (based on closing price on listing date).
The year also witnessed significant activity on the SME platform. There were as many as 155 SME IPOs, the highest ever, which collected a total of Rs 2,247 crore.
Offer for sale through stock exchanges (OFS), which is for dilution of promoters' holdings, saw an increase from Rs 8,390 crore raised last financial year to Rs 18,438 crore raised in 2017-18.
India Power Corp, Sona Koyo Steering Systems and Inox Wind OFS amounts are not finalised yet, the report said.
Already-listed companies found QIP route very attractive, with 52 firms mobilising Rs 62,358 crore, the highest ever. MEP Infrastructure QIP amount was not finalised, it said.
Only two companies used the IPP route, mobilising Rs 4,668 crore.
Of the total amount of Rs 1,77,116 crore, the amount raised through fresh capital was only Rs 91,205 crore, the remaining Rs 85,911 crore being offer for sale, it said.
In divestment space, 2017-18 was the best year ever with Rs 98,965 crore being raised by the government.
In the bond market, eight issues raised Rs 4,861 crore, lower than 16 issues raising Rs 29,547 crore in 2016-17.
According to Haldea, 2018-19 is likely to see more volatility in the secondary market which shall affect fund raising plans of companies as well.

Medical Science in Ancient India
Medical Science was surprising advanced in ancient times in India. Specifically these advances were in the areas of plastic surgery, extraction of catracts, dental surgery, etc., These are not just tall claims. There is documentary evidence to prove the existence of these practices.
The Aitareya Upanishad (1-1-4) states how the organs develop in the foetus. It says that first the mouth comes into existence, then the nostrils, then eyes, then ears, then heart, then navel, then the penis. The same order of development is given in the Bhagawata. It is surprising that the same order is discovered by the modern science, recently.
The Bhagawata (3/31/3) states that the head of the foetus is formed at the end of the first month. This appears true in the light of the modern investigations in embryology. The Bhagawata gives further information that as soon as the nostrils develop there appears Prana and vocal chords also develop. Modern science has the same opinion.
The Bhagawata (2/10, 3/6,26) clearly tells that foetal heart begins working in the second month of pregnancy. In December 1972, nodern scientists discovered that the foetal heart begins working during 7th and 8th weeks of pregnancy.
Rare Painting Anatomical Man Sanskrit Ayurveda
The Bhagawata (2/1022, 3/26/55) states that ears are responsible for recognizing the directions. Here the directions are personal e.g. in front, at back, to the right or left, up or down. These six directions are original, personal and they are sensed by the ears.
The Bhagawata is composed around 1650 years BC and the Aitareya is composed around 6000 years BC. But the statements recorded in them are found true by the modern science during 1935 AD when Ross and Tait wrote an essay showing that the Labyrinth or the vestibular apparatus situated in the internal ear recognise the directions. Is it not miraculous that the discovery of 1935 is recorded in scriptures, thousands of years old? It proves that the medical science was well advanced during the ancient era in India.
Surgery was far advanced in the Rigveda era, therefore it is recorded that Queen Vishpala was fitted with an artificial lower limb when it was severed in a battle.(Rg.1-116-15), and was made fit, again, to fight in a battle. Modern surgeons do fit an artificial limb; but a patient takes about a year to walk with it, and he cannot take part in a battle again.
There is a surgical concept of transplant operations in India since the Rigveda. One sage Daddhyanga got some disease in his head. To cure it Ashvinau took his head away and in its place implanted a head of a horse for a while.(Rg.1-116-12). After repairing his human head they replaced it again removing the horse’s head. The sage became normal. One may laugh at this statement because at present no such operation on head or brain is possible. But is it really impossible? At present, heart can be transplanted. During an operation on heart, it is totally stopped by freezing and with the help of Heart-lung machine circulation is maintained and after correcting the defect in the heart it is connected to the circulation, removing the heart-lung machine. In the same way, was not it possible to implant a horse’s head in place of human head to maintain the give and take of sensory and motor impulses and to continue the vital functions, which are similar in man and horse? Serum of horse is tolerated by humans, then nervous tissue may also be tolerated. We have to experiment on this technique.
Sage Sushruta and nose surgery
Because of this Vedic tradition of surgery, Sushruta could develop plastic surgery to repair severed or deformed nose – Rhinoplasty. He used a flap of skin from forehead to repair nose. In 1957 Prof. Vartak was working as a surgeon in S.T.R. Hospital and Tilak Ayurvedic college, where he read Sushruta Samhita. He suggested to use that old technique but it was neglected. Twelve years later one German surgeon read Sushruta and operated accordingly with good results. Since then all the surgeons are using the same technique thinking that it is a German technique.
Shrimad Bhagawata (9-3-27 to 36) gives a story that king Kakudmi went with his daughter Revati to the Brahmaloka to find her a husband. Brahmadewa told him that in some seconds of his presence in that Loka (solar system) 27 Tetra-Yugas (About 216 years) on the Earth had passed and that there was nobody from his family alive. Brahmadewa advised him to return and wed Rewati to Balarama, who had then born. Accordingly Kakudmi returned with Rewati and gave her to Balarama in marriage. The important scientific points in this story are thus:
The two went on another solar system leaving the Earth. They spent some seconds there, but during that seconds 27 Tetra-Yugas passed on the Earth. It shows that Sage Vyasa knew that the time scales are different on different planets or solar systems. This is agreed to by the science now. They returned after 216 years but still Rewati was in puberty and her father was alive. Aging factor had stopped working on them. After their return, they could not see their descendents, so at least 216 years had passed. They had defeated the death. Their life had extended. The only cause attributed is the space travel to another solar system with tremendous speed. One may not agree that the two actually traveled to some other Loka; but one has to accept the theoretical knowledge present in the story, which is the same as that propounded by Einstein in the 20th century, that if some body travels with a great speed to another place in the space, its or his life extends. Even in the present world nobody has traveled to another solar system, even then the theory is accepted by science.
The Prashnopanishad (3/8) states that Deity present in the Earth attracts Apana of a living person and helps its action. Adi Shankaracharya comments on this verse that if the famous Goddess of the Earth did not help Apana and did not hold down by its attraction force or Gravitation, then this physical body would have floated in the space or fallen anywhere. Thus the Prashnopanishad of 6000 years B.C. and Shankaracharya of, at least, 800 A.D. knew the gravitation force of the Earth much before Newton of 18th century A.D. This proves that the gravitational force of the Earth was known to the Indians 7000 years earlier than Newton.
Thus it seems that medical and biological sciences were very well developed along with other physical sciences in ancient India and all that knowledge is stored in our Shastras. We have to decifer their meanings on the basis of modern science. Scientists should do this work because they are well versed with the present scientific knowledge, which is helpful to expose the knowledge concealed in the Shastras. If our scientists do so, we can progress much in the scientific field.

Coca-Cola, China Dairy Giant Sign Olympic Sponsorship Deal
by Naharnet Newsdesk 24 June 2019, 14:44
Coca-Cola and Chinese dairy firm Mengniu have signed a deal to become joint sponsors of the Olympic Games from 2021 to 2032, IOC chief Thomas Bach announced Monday.
Neither the International Olympic Committee nor the two companies involved disclosed the size of the deal but the agreement is the first ever joint partnership under the Olympic TOP programme, the highest level of Olympic sponsorship, Bach added.
"Having our longest-standing partner, Coca-Cola, an iconic American brand, together with a young Chinese company, Mengniu, joining hands under the roof of our Worldwide TOP Programme is a great example of the unifying power of the Olympic spirit," said Bach.
"This partnership will give another dimension to the promotion of the Olympic values around the world."
The agreement was unveiled in Lausanne ahead of the opening of the IOC session Monday in which the IOC will choose the host city for the 2026 Winter Olympics, with two candidates in the running, Milan/Cortina of Italy and Sweden's Stockholm/Are.
The Financial Times reported the deal was worth $3 billion, but did not offer details about the amounts contributed by each company.
A sources close to the deal told AFP it was the biggest IOC sponsorship ever with the oldest Olympics sponsor, Coca-Cola, which first backed the Games in 2028, and newcomer Mengniu.
James Quincey, Coca-Cola CEO, described the deal as 'substantial'.
The TOP programme of Olympic sponsors, an elite band of IOC partners, already includes one Chinese firm, multinational on-line and high-tech outlet Alibaba.
Mengniu, which was also a sponsor of the 2018 men's football World Cup in Russia, has been eyeing global expansion.
Jeffrey Lu, Mengniu CEO, said the IOC deal would be a "catalyst" to overseas growth.
"This is a vital step in our international strategy, and we are honoured to have the opportunity to build the positive reputation of Chinese food and beverage brands among consumers globally," he said in a statement.
- 'Misled' -
But the company's attempts to have its brand recognised outside China have already hit trouble. The firm that was embroiled in a damaging milk contamination scandal in China in 2008 has been under attack at home from Yili, its biggest domestic rival.
Yili has threatened to pull out its own sponsorship of Beijing winter Olympics in 2022 in response to the new deal.
In an open letter published on its official WeChat account Thursday Yili alleged that Mengniu's partnership was infringing upon its rights as the exclusive sponsor for dairy products at the winter Games.
In the letter, that has since been removed from Yili's official social media accounts, the company said Chinese consumers will be "misled" into believing Mengniu was also an "official dairy sponsor" if its ads appeared alongside that of Yili at the Beijing event.
Mengniu and Yili control nearly half of China's dairy market, according to Euromonitor.
Yili lashed out at Mengniu for attempting to "stage the biggest scandal in Olympic history" by listing itself as a beverage sponsor, and threatened to stop sponsoring the IOC for future events.
The IOC's Bach, asked to comment on the feud, said there were no grounds for complaint about the sponsorship arrangements.
"This agreement (with Mengniu) fully respects the rights of everybody," said Bach.
Mengniu is yet to respond to its rival's complaints.

FHA Issues New Condominium
Approval Rule
WASHINGTON - In an effort to promote affordable and sustainable homeownership, especially among credit-worthy first-time buyers, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) today published a long-awaited final regulation, and policy implementation guidance, which establish a new condominium approval process.
FHA ISSUES NEW CONDOMINIUM APPROVAL RULE
Comprehensive policy revisions include ability to approve individual units in nonapproved condo projects
Designed to be flexible and responsive to market conditions, FHA's new condo rule and the new Condominium Project Approval section of the Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, provide a comprehensive revision to FHA condominium project approval policy. In particular, the new policy will allow certain individual condominium units to be eligible for FHA mortgage insurance even if the condominium project is not FHA approved. The polices become effective October 15, 2019. Read FHA's new condominium approval regulation.
FHA's new condominium policy is part of a broader Administration objective to reduce regulatory barriers that currently restrict affordable homeownership opportunities. FHA's new rule:
Introduces a new single-unit approval process to make it easier for individual condominium units to be eligible for FHA-insured financing;
Extends the recertification requirement for approved condominium projects from two to three years;
Allows more mixed-use projects to be eligible for FHA insurance.
“Condominiums have increasingly become a source of affordable, sustainable homeownership for many families and it's critical that FHA be there to help them,” said U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. “Today, we take an important step to open more doors to homeownership for younger, first-time American buyers as well as seniors hoping to age-in-place.”
HUD Acting Deputy Secretary and FHA Commissioner Brian Montgomery added, “Today we are making certain FHA responds to what the market is telling us. This new rule allows FHA to meet its core mission to support eligible borrowers who are ready for homeownership and are most likely to enter the market with the purchase of a condominium.”
The vast majority (84 percent) of FHA-insured condo buyers have never owned a home before. While there are more than 150,000 condominium projects in the U.S., only 6.5 percent are approved to participate in FHA's mortgage insurance programs. As a result of FHA's new policy, it is estimated that 20,000 to 60,000 condominium units could become eligible for FHA-insured financing annually.
Single Family Policy Handbook Guidance
FHA's new Single Family Handbook sections published today provide the additional requirements that lenders and other industry participants need in order to implement FHA's new policy, including requirements for single-unit approvals, minimum owner occupancy requirements, and commercial/non-residential space limits. Read FHA's changes to its Single Family Handbook.
Single-Unit Approvals
As of October 15, FHA will insure mortgages for selected condominium units in projects that are not currently approved. An individual unit may be eligible for Single-Unit Approval under the following conditions:
The individual condominium unit is located in a completed project that is not approved;
For condominium projects with 10 or more units, no more than 10 percent of individual condo units can be FHA-insured; and projects with fewer than 10 units may have no more than two FHA-insured units.
Minimum Owner-Occupancy Requirements
FHA will require that approved condominium projects have a minimum of 50 percent of the units occupied by owners for most projects.
FHA Insurance Concentration in Condominium Projects
FHA will only insure up to 50 percent of the total number of units in an approved condominium project.
Commercial/Nonresidential Space Limits
FHA will require that the commercial/non-residential space within an approved condominium project not exceed 35 percent of the project's total floor area.
HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.

Tax Deductions for Homeowners: How the New Tax Law Affects Mortgage Interest
Tax season is upon us once again, and to make it even more interesting this year, the tax code has changed — along with the rules about tax deductions for homeowners. The biggest change? Many homeowners who used to write off their property taxes and the interest they pay their mortgage will no longer be able to. Stay calm. This doesn’t automatically mean your taxes are going up. Here’s a roundup of the rules that will affect homeowners — and how big of a change to expect.
Related: Are Closing Costs Tax Deductible?
Standard Deduction: Big Change
The standard deduction, that amount everyone gets, whether they have actual deductions or not, nearly doubled under the new law. It’s now $24,000 for married, joint-filing couples (up from $13,000). It’s $18,000 for heads of household (up from $9,550). And $12,000 for singles (up from $6,500).
Many more people will now get a better deal taking the standard than they would with their itemizable write-offs.
For perspective, the number of homeowners who will be able to deduct their mortgage interest under the new rules will fall from around 32 million to about 14 million, the federal government says. That’s about a 56% drop.
So will you be able to itemize, or will you be in standard deduction land? This calculator can give you an estimate.
If the answer is standard deduction, you’ll be pleased to know that tax forms are easier when you don’t itemize, says Liddiard. Find instructions for IRS Form 1040 here.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
Without Congressional action, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will lapse at midnight on Friday, November 30, 2018. NAR is making every effort to secure a long-term reauthorization before then. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions.
What are the prospects for an extension?
All early indications point to an on-time extension of the NFIP. Congressional leaders are engaged. Legislation to extend the program has been introduced, and there are multiple pathways to passage before November 30th. All previous extensions were on time or within a few days of the deadline minimizing the market impacts.
Why is it taking so long?
This is not a simple up-and-down vote on an extension bill by itself. Rather, the extension is expected to be attached to a broader legislative vehicle, possibly the Omnibus bill to fund the government. Because there are multiple moving parts, discussions have been on-going, and no decisions are likely to be made until closer to the deadline.
What is NAR doing?
NAR is in regular communication with Congressional leaders.
NAR is coordinating with a broad coalition of industry groups. Read our most recent coalition letter.
Hundreds of members of Congress have been contacted about the importance of NFIP since August.
NAR has raised the profile of the issue with multiple calls for action, talking points, op-eds and paid ads.
Click here for the latest example of the heightened coverage the press is giving this issue.
Attached is an advanced copy of President Smaby's Op-Ed soon to be published in The Hill newspaper, which is read by many members of Congress and their staff.
NAR will continue to closely monitor the situation and is prepared to escalate our grassroots efforts if it becomes necessary. We should know more on Monday, November 26th.
What happens during a lapse?
The NFIP cannot sell or renew flood insurance policies. The NFIP can pay claims as long as funds are available, but may not borrow more from the U.S. Treasury. The federal requirement to purchase flood insurance is also suspended during a lapse, which means it is entirely up to lenders to decide whether to make loans in special flood hazard areas while flood insurance is not available from the NFIP.
What about my client's flood insurance?
Existing NFIP policies will remain in effect until their expiration date (which is the renewal date plus a 30-day grace period), and claims will continue to be paid as long as FEMA has the funds on hand.
Existing policies may also be "assigned" to/assumed by property buyers during a lapse (see p. 3 here).
Renewal policies are generally issued as long as the application is received prior to a lapse and the premium is received within the 30-day grace period. Other renewals must wait for reauthorization.
Private flood insurance backed by a source other than NFIP (e.g., Lloyd's of London) are not affected by a lapse. Click here and here for some options.
During a lapse, some lenders may opt to make special-flood-hazard-area loans without NFIP insurance, but they must be willing to bear the full risk of their decision and few do in NAR's experience.

Nov 16 2012 Posted: 12:23 GMT
9.6% of Irish Population with Diabetes
Diabetes is now the commonest metabolic illness in the world and earlier this week marked World Diabetes Day (Wednesday, 14 November). An estimated 9.6% of the Irish population now have the disease. With a particularly high prevalence in the Western Region of the country, NUI Galway and Galway and Roscommon University Hospital Group have joined forces to create the Galway Diabetes Research Centre.
The Galway Diabetes Research Centre (GDRC) will bring together an interdisciplinary research consortium of active researchers and clinicians. GDRC members comprise of individuals from across the diverse disciplines including psychology, engineering, economics, health promotion, nursing, midwifery, podiatry and information technology, all of whom have a track record in the field of diabetes.
Based at NUI Galway, the GDRC will link researchers from these diverse disciplines to strengthen and develop close links with clinicians from Galway and Roscommon University Hospital Group and the hospitals linked to the NUI Galway regional Medical Academies.
Professor Fidelma Dunne,School of Medicine, Co-director of the GDRC explains: “This is an exciting opportunity for researchers and clinicians working in Diabetes at NUI Galway and Galway and Roscommon University Hospital Group. The centre will facilitate the development of each individual’s skills and provide the academic environment for collaboration. The collaboration between an academic institution and Health Care Delivery network will facilitate the efficient translation of research findings into clinical practice resulting in tangible benefits for patients with diabetes.”
Bill Maher, CEO of the Galway and Roscommon University Hospital Group said: “This new research centre for Galway is another example of where the synergy of the Hospital and University can lead to tangible benefits for patients and improved outcomes. Diabetes is a growing health care problem which is putting additional strain on a public health service which will face funding difficulties for the foreseeable future; advances in research which lead to improved treatment and which enhance the skills of our clinicians will promote patient health and are to be welcomed.”
Through three main clusters: Aetiology and Prevention, Current and Future Clinical Management, and Population and Health Services Research, the GDRC will serve the needs of patients with diabetes mellitus and those at risk of developing diabetes mellitus by creating the treatments of the future through research, providing state of the art clinical care and developing the carers of the future through education.
The three main research clusters, capitalise on the already high volume of diabetes related work undertaken by the University and hospitals.
1. Aetiology and Prevention
Aetiology and Prevention contributes to our understanding of how diabetes develops and what are the underlying mechanisms. Researchers in this cluster are active at every level of disease, from genes, through to glycoproteins and stem cells.
2. Current and Future Clinical management
Investigators in this strand are focused on the development of new therapies for diabetes mellitus. There is an active clinical trial programme through the HRB Clinical Research Facility, Galway, with the support of research nurses, quality assurance staff and biostatisticians. There is also a major focus on the development of biomaterials and stem cell based approaches to regenerative therapies through the Science Foundation Ireland funded research centres REMEDI and NFB.
3. Population and Health Services Research
This cluster will contribute to the evidence required to help address the many challenges of health care delivery in diabetes. These challenges include changing the way services are delivered, evaluating the health care needs of the diabetes population and measuring the relative effectiveness of interventions.
The GDRC will be official launched on Friday, 16 November by Dr Jim Browne, President of NUI Galway, and Mr Bill Maher, CEO Galway and Roscommon University Hospital Group.
Speakers at the event will include: Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, University of Cambridge; Professor John Nolan, STENO Diabetes Centre Denmark; Professor James Shaw, Newcastle University; and Dr Peter Hammond, Harrogate District Hospital, UK. Sligo senior footballer, Mr Kenneth Sweeney also addressed the event who is 11 years living with type 1 Diabetes.
Diabetes Statistics
Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is the commonest metabolic illness globally, according to the World Health Organisation, 346 million people worldwide have the condition. It is estimated that this figure will double by 2030. About 90% of all diabetes is type 2. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in tandem with rising obesity rates.
In Ireland the number of people with type 2 diabetes is growing as a result of an ageing population and rising obesity rates. The Diabetes Federation of Ireland estimated that 200,000 people had diabetes in Ireland in 2003 and a further 200,000 had the condition but were unaware of it. They also estimated that a further 250,000 had pre-diabetes and 50% would develop diabetes in the ensuing 5 years if lifestyle changes were not met.
The Institute of Public Health (2005) concluded that 4.7% of the population (circa 150,000) of the Republic had established diabetes, with the highest prevalence in the Western Region (5.2%). The Institute of Public Health have revised their figures again (2012) and now conclude that 9.6% of the population have Diabetes.

David Hill, Director, Open Energi, said: “We are excited to be working with Zenobe, who have been a driving force for business model innovation in the battery sector for years. As our energy market continues to be revolutionised by the growth of renewable sources, optimisation strategies in battery storage systems have never been more complex or critical. We designed our algorithmic trading capability with companies like Zenobe in mind, who recognise the importance of innovation and optimisation to meet the needs of power-intensive businesses and the UK at large.”
Steven Meersman, Director, Zenobe Energy “We are delighted to be working with Open Energi, whose forecasting capabilities and track record in the market are reflected in the quality of their platform. The Dynamic Demand 2.0 platform and Open Energi’s forecasting functionality compliments our capabilities as an asset owner and operator, and allows us to improve performance of this project in the challenging UK grid-scale storage market.
About Open Energi:
Open Energi’s technology automates and optimises a network of distributed energy resources to radically reduce energy costs and provide reliable, real-time flexibility to enable a 100% renewable energy system. The platform uses artificial intelligence to safely co-ordinate distributed energy resources at scale and trade flexibility across energy markets. Ultimately, this enhances our standard of living by helping to deliver as much energy as we want at a standard price and without hurting the planet.

Back from the dead...again: The Halloween Horror Thread V
So it's officially October (at least here on the east coast) and that means the return of OO's annual thread that just won't die, the Halloween Horror Thread!
I haven't actually watched a ton of horror lately, but one recent release I did just watch is the Netflix series Marianne. For those not familiar, it's a French series that came out a couple of weeks ago and centers around a group of friends who went through some traumatic shit when they were younger thanks to the vengeful spirit of an evil witch named Marianne, and now 15 years later bad things are starting to happen again in their hometown. I give it a high recommendation to anyone who is into horror and the first few episodes are some of the creepiest shit I've seen on a TV show.
I also gave Texas Chainsaw Massacre a watch for the umpteenth time in my life back in August (August 18th, which is the day the movie takes place on, has kind of officially become "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Day" among horror fans, not unlike May the 4th being national Star Wars day) and it remains one of my all-time favorite horror movies. And it's pretty damn hard to believe that movie turned 45 this year.
Oh, and I did check out Mother! a few months back as well. I definitely get the polarizing reception it got, as I found the first 45 minutes or so really intriguing, but then started to get bored and fast-forwarded every now and then just to get to the end. It's hard for me to give that one a full recommendation, but if you're ever in the mood for something weird and different, it might be worth a watch. If nothing else, it definitely does a great job of creating a nightmarish setting where things just get worse and worse.
Anyhow, that's it from me for now. As per usual, feel free to discuss anything horror-related here, whether it be new stuff or retro, and I'll definitely be contributing more as I begin my usual October horror movie viewing.

I bought the Halloween and Friday the 13th collections on clearance November 1st last year under the pretense I'd watch them this year. Then I found out the Halloween collection also has both Rob Zombie remakes, which makes me hesitant because I could see me talking myself into rewatching the first one under the impression it wasn't as bad as I remember (it is) and then watching the sequel and dying on the inside a bit.
Speaking of Zombie, for reasons I cannot fathom or explain, he made a sequel to Devil's Rejects, which might be the worst idea ever, because not only was that movie way better than it had any right to be, he also peaked shortly after. I only mention it because, if you're the type of person interested in dumb horror movies (or just wants to watch the last Sid Haig movie), the sequel is actually due out on DVD in two weeks (and may already be available digitally). Again, this is a movie that shouldn't exist. But it does, and, y'know, Halloween.

Not really a horror movie, but I�m pumped for Zombieland Double Tap, so I�ll likely rewatch the first one.
I should get around to watching the Evil Dead reboot (I own the blu ray) but I�d have to hook up a blu ray player to do so.
Not a movie/tv show (well it will be), but I�ve also been meaning to re-read Locke & Key. Should also bust out the card game too.

I'll see 3 From Hell eventually just because I've seen the first two movies, but it's not anything I'm gonna go out of my way to check out (I'll either wait until it's available to stream on Netflix, Hulu, etc or I can get it for like $7.99 at Best Buy). And even though The Devil's Rejects is Zombie's best movie, I always kind of wish he stuck with the more unrealistic/supernatural tone of House of 1,000 Corpses rather than go all grim 'n gritty realistic with the sequel.

I loved the first Zombieland (though it's been years since I've seen it), but I dunno, the trailers for the new one aren't doing a whole lot for me. Hopefully it turns out good, but I'm worried this might be a "they waited five to ten years too long to pump out a sequel" type of situation.
You should definitely check it out at some point, as the Evil Dead reboot/sequel has become one of my favorite horror films of the last ten years.

Never watched the American Horror Story shows (although I did watch Scream Queens which was fun for awhile but a few episodes too long) but the new one peeked my interest. It�s called 1984 and is basically Friday the 13th with an early 80�s soundtrack. Watched the first episode and meh. I�ll probably keep on watching for a few more episodes before I make The Decision.
But it�s there if anyone is interested.
So far I like the new season of American Horror Story, but I fear it's going to end up like almost every season of this show. Starts off really cool, then tries to do too much, and gets dumb or boring by the end of the season.
I loved Us. Jordan Peele is a goddamn horror mastermind.

I've enjoyed American Horror Story over the years, but I agree that the show tends to be guilty of trying to pull off some kind of twist or swerve mid-season, which then kind of derails things (like when they killed Twisty the clown off a few episodes into Freak Show). I am enjoying the current season though and it's fun to see the series tackle the 1980's slasher genre, since they've never done that before.
And I got my first horror movie of October in last night, watching Candyman for the very first time (as a horror fan for 30+ years, don't ask me how I've to never seen it up until now). I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like an early 90's horror film, just with the fashion styles, people smoking in every other scene, etc. And tone-wise, it reminded me of Child's Play, which is kind of funny since both of those movies take place in Chicago.
Also, I had no idea that Candyman was based on a Clive Barker story until seeing it in the opening credits.

I watched Dawn of the Dead earlier today (for like the fifth or sixth time in my life) and what a classic that movie is. The zombies are a little outdated by today's standards, and it's maybe a smidge too long, but it remains arguably the greatest zombie movie ever made. I even got my wife, who enjoys horror but isn't a major fan like me, sucked into it.
And one thing I really noticed while watching it today is just how good the acting in that movie is. I know the general reputation is for horror movies to have shitty acting (especially one from 1978), but there's really not a weak link in the bunch in regard to the four main characters, with Ken Foree being the standout to me.
posted on 10-17-2019 at 03:35 AM
I got another horror movie in the other night, as I watched Halloween III for the very first time. Kind of like with Candyman, don't ask me how I've gone this long without ever seeing Halloween III, but I guess I've just never been that interested in it due to there being no Michael Myers (or connection to the Halloween series), not to mention it isn't exactly considered a horror classic.
Overall though, I kind of enjoyed it for what it was. The plot is batshit insane (evil robots, ancient pagan rituals, and killer Halloween masks? Only in the 80's, I tell ya), but it's some fun 80's horror cheesiness and I think that if it were it's own movie and not the black sheep of the Halloween franchise, it might be a little more fondly remembered.
I gave Halloween III a shot last year and couldn't get in to it. The evil commercial jingle was annoying.
I also gave H20 and Halloween Resurrection shots last year as well. They were pretty average, only mildly entertaining. Funny that in both movies, the rapper-actors survive.

Halloween III is a great selection for a Bad Movie Marathon night . It's pretty much perfect to go full MST3K on with the contemptuous commentary as you watch it with your no-good drunk buddies.
Well you know, just because these young men have little education and live in squalor, it doesn't entitle them to commit antisocial behaviour and get away with it.
it's a child molesting robot
Yeah, Halloween III is definitely perfect for a drunk movie night (and it should be noted that I was drinking while watching it, which might have been why I did get some enjoyment out of it).
Not sure how far you made it into Halloween III, but that jingle pretty much gets played throughout the movie right up until the very end.
And I like H20 well enough (in fact, I think I ranked it third in the series in last year's horror thread) but I fucking hate Resurrection. It's the only movie in the series besides Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 that I've never rewatched.
Just thought I'd give this thread one last bump, being Halloween and all. It doesn't seem like there was as much discussion in this year's thread, but that may just be a case of running out of horror stuff to discuss after five years (not to mention there were some high-profile October releases this year like Joker, the Watchmen series, etc that may have been occupying everyone's attention).
I plan on watching the original Halloween tonight with the wife and then following that up with the 2018 Halloween (which I haven't seen since it was in theaters last year) as a nice little double feature. And speaking of double features, I did get in my annual Great Pumpkin/Garfield Halloween viewing a few nights back, which is always mandatory in October for me every year.

I fell woefully behind and am trying to finish this off now. Did you guys finish it? I think I only have 4 episodes left but this is......not going well.
I watched the whole thing and I thought it was okay, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorite seasons of AHS. My biggest issue is that they've done the "ghosts stuck in purgatory" thing at least twice before, so it just felt like a retread to me. Plus from the initial teaser trailers I thought this season was going to be like an 80's slasher flick, but it just wasn't that.
Also, I don't really get how ghosts in the AHS universe work. It seems weird to me that they're able to interact and kill living people, and there's never any explanation given as to why that is (at least that I can recall).
Just got to the part where they realize they�re ghosts. Was wondering why people were getting killed in droves with half the season still left. Seems weird but I guess I�ll finish it.
I like how the final group equals 13. Similar to [spoiler] especially in the scene where they kill [spoiler].
I never ended up finishing the season. I think the last episode I saw was when the black kid left the white kid for dead in the pit after he confessed about killing the Asian kid who rushed his fraternity, and then they saved the white kid, and the black kid got his head cut off by Mr. Jingles on the bike.
That was amusing. Should I finish it?
If had a different kind of twist mid season. It was kind of a jumbled mess but kind of enjoyable but kind of odd. I just burned through the last 4 this week and enjoyed it enough.

Nelson Mandela’s (first) Address Before the United States Congress – June 26, 1990
As many people enter the hectic rush of the Christmas holiday ritual, I wanted to revisit more of Nelson Mandela's contribution to the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, precisely because their struggle - and Mandela's public speeches - highlighted the interconnectedness of theirs to the global struggle for justice for African people.
I offer this, and all of my recent (and future) posts about Mandela, with the hope that we not let his example fade exclusively to the annual ritualized reflections and remembrances, with little internalization of the lived example of struggle, activism, and sacrifice in support of a better future for all of our people. History is not in the past, it lives with us in the present, as we endeavor to shape our best imagined future.
On June 26, 1990, Nelson Mandela addressed the United States Congress for the first time, just 4 months after the end of his 28-year prison term in South Africa.
It's also worth pointing out that Nelson Mandela was only the third private citizen to ever address the U.S. Congress.
A few brief excerpts follow, after which is the video of Mandela's full address, courtesy of CSPAN's video archives. Mandela enters the chambers at around the 10:15 mark, and his remarks begin right around the 14-minute mark.
As you listen to Mandela's first speech before the US Congress, imagine one of our own African American elected representatives speaking with the same level of honesty and candor about the historical circumstances of our people in this country (and throughout the world), and the role and responsibility of this government to act with integrity to right these historical and contemporary wrongs. This is an example of the type of truth, honesty and directness we need far more of.
From the address...
It is a fact of the human condition that each shall, like a meteor, a mere brief passing moment in time and space, flit across the human stage and pass out of existence. Even the golden lads and lasses, as much as the chimney sweepers, come, and tomorrow are no more. After them all, they leave the people, enduring, multiplying, permanent, except to the extent that the same humanity might abuse its own genius to immolate life itself.
Our people demand democracy. Our country, which continues to bleed and suffer pain, needs democracy. It cries out for the situation where the law will decree that the freedom to speak of freedom constitutes the very essence of legality and the very thing that makes for the legitimacy of the constitutional order.
It thirsts for the situation where those who are entitled by law to carry arms, as the forces of national security and law and order, will not turn their weapons against the citizens simply because the citizens assert that equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are fundamental human rights which are not only inalienable but must, if necessary, be defended with the weapons of war.
We fight for and visualize a future in which all shall, without regard to race, colour, creed or sex, have the right to vote and to be voted into all effective organs of state. We are engaged in a struggle to ensure that the rights of every individual are guaranteed and protected, through a democratic constitution, the rule of law, an entrenched bill of rights which should be enforced by an independent judiciary, as well as a multi-party political system.
What we have said concerning the political arrangements we seek for our country is seriously meant. It is an outcome for which many of us went to prison, for which many have died in police cells, on the gallows, in our towns and villages and in the countries of southern Africa. Indeed, we have even had our political representatives killed in countries as far away from South Africa as France.
Unhappily, our people continue to die to this day, victims of armed agents of the state who are still determined to turn their guns against the very idea of a non-racial democracy. But this is the perspective which Congress will feel happy to support and encourage, using the enormous weight of its prestige and authority as an eminent representative of democratic practice.
To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanise them. But such has been the terrible fate of all black persons in our country under the system of apartheid. The extent of the deprivation of millions of people has to be seen to be believed. The injury is made that more intolerable by the opulence of our white compatriots and the deliberate distortion of the economy to feed that opulence.
We must also make the point very firmly that the political settlement, and democracy itself, cannot survive unless the material needs of the people, the bread and butter issues, are addressed as part of the process of change and as a matter of urgency. It should never be that the anger of the poor should be the finger of accusation pointed at all of us because we failed to respond to the cries of the people for food, for shelter, for the dignity of the individual.
Despite the admitted commitment of President de Klerk to walk this road with us, and despite our acceptance of his integrity and the honesty of his purposes, we would be fools to believe that the road ahead of us is without major hurdles. Too many among our white compatriots are steeped in the ideology of racism to admit easily that change must come.
Tragedy may yet sully the future we pray and work for if these slaves of the past take up alms in a desperate effort to resist the process which must lead to the democratic transformation of our country. For those who care to worry about violence in our country, as we do, it is at these forces that they should focus their attention, a process in which we are engaged.
We must contend still with the reality that South Africa is a country in the grip of the apartheid crime against humanity. The consequences of this continue to be felt not only within our borders but throughout southern Africa which continues to harvest the bitter fruits of conflict and war, especially in Mozambique and Angola. Peace will not come to our country and region until the apartheid system is ended.
Therefore we say we still have a struggle on our hands. Our common and noble efforts to abolish the system of white minority domination must continue. We are encouraged and strengthened by the fact of the agreement between ourselves, this Congress as well as President Bush and his administration, that sanctions should remain in place. The purpose for which they were imposed has not yet been achieved.
We have yet to arrive at the point when we can say that South Africa is set on an irreversible course leading to its transformation into a united, democratic and non-racial country. We plead that you cede the prerogative to the people of South Africa to determine the moment when it will be said that profound changes have occurred and an irreversible process achieved, enabling you and the rest of the international community to lift sanctions.
We went to jail because it was impossible to sit still while the obscenity of the apartheid system was being imposed on our people. It would have been immoral to keep quiet while a racist tyranny sought to reduce an entire people into a status worse than that of the beasts of the forest. It would have been an act of treason against the people and against our conscience to allow fear and the drive towards self-preservation to dominate our behaviour, obliging us to absent ourselves from the struggle for democracy and human rights, not only in our country but throughout the world.
We could not have made an acquaintance through literature with human giants such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson and not been moved to act as they were moved to act. We could not have heard of and admired John Brown, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and not be moved to act as they were moved to act. We could not have known of your Declaration of Independence and not elected to join in the struggle to guarantee the people life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We are grateful to you all that you persisted in your resolve to have us and other political prisoners released from jail. You have given us the gift and privilege to rejoin our people, yourselves and the rest of the international community in the common effort to transform South Africa into a united, democratic and non-racial country. You have given us the power to join hands with all people of conscience to fight for the victory of democracy and human rights throughout the world.
We are glad that you merged with our own people to make it possible for us to emerge from the darkness of the prison cell and join the contemporary process of the renewal of the world. We thank you most sincerely for all you have done and count on you to persist in your noble endeavours to free the rest of our political prisoners and to emancipate our people from the larger prison that is apartheid South Africa.

Bakersfield woman’s foot is amputated after rifle accident
Tue, 11/26/2019 - 12:11pm admin
John and Angie Lamb
Cassidy Lamb, Angie and John Lamb’s 22-year-old daughter, comforts her mother in a Springfield rehabilitation facility where Angie is recovering from serious injuries suffered Saturday, Nov. 16, when her rifle accidentally discharged despite having the safety on and no finger on the trigger.
By Regina Mozingo, regina@ozarkcountytimes.com
A rifle accident on the opening day of firearms deer season has left one Ozark County mother without a foot and a family looking for answers.
Bakersfield resident Angie Lamb hadn’t even made it to her deer stand that Saturday morning, Nov. 16, when her Remington 700 series rifle fired – without Lamb touching the trigger.
Lamb, who recently had surgery on her left knee, said her husband John was driving her to her deer stand that morning so she wouldn’t have to walk so far.
“I have always been careful with guns,” said Lamb. “The barrel was pointing to the ground like it should, and the safety was on.”
Lamb said her finger wasn’t on the trigger when the barrel of the rifle bumped the dashboard and fired. “I remember hearing the loud noise, and I asked my husband, ‘Why didn’t you have the safety on?’ He looked at the gun and said, ‘The safety is on.’
“We had not realized at that point I had been shot.”
Lamb said she then looked down and saw “my foot was gone.”
A registered nurse, Lamb called 911 and put the dispatcher on speaker while her husband drove to meet the ambulance. “I could feel myself going into shock, which was something I was worried about,” she said.
When the couple arrived at the gas station in South Fork, two Missouri Department of Conservation agents were there conducting testing for chronic wasting disease.
“One jumped up, Matt Franks. I’ll never forget him,” said Lamb. “I was starting to lose consciousness. He grabbed my face and basically brought me back. He was a great source of comfort.”
When the ambulance arrived, she was transported to Cox South Hospital in Springfield.
“They were actually able to put my foot back together,” said Lamb. “But only long enough for me to decide whether to keep it.”
Lamb said she knew the foot would never be usable, so she made the decision to amputate. The surgery was done the next day, Sunday, Nov. 17.
Lamb is currently going through physical therapy in a Springfield rehabilitation facility.
“Since I had the surgery on my other knee, I haven’t been able to put a lot of weight on it,” said Lamb. “So rehab is a little more difficult. But I’ll get through it.”
According to Lamb, the normal stay at the facility is up to three weeks. “But I’m stubborn and plan on getting out within a week. I want to be out of here,” she said. “It’s going to be a long recovery, not easy, but I am looking forward to returning to our new normal. I’m ready to be home.”
The Bakersfield community has been extremely supportive of the Lamb family, she said. “They’ve all been so wonderful. I am very blessed to have the support I have. I’ve got so many people supporting me.”
As evidence of the community’s care and support, friends have already built a ramp at the Lambs’ home so she won’t have to struggle up steps.
Meanwhile, John Lamb has stayed with his wife. “He’s just wonderful. He has not left my side since it happened. Even when we tried to get him to take a break,” she said.
She said the ordeal has been hard on her close-knit family. The Lambs have three children: Austin, 25; Cassidy, 22; and Aiden, 13; a daughter-in-law and three grandchildren.
“They’ve had difficulty adjusting but they have come up and seen me quite often,” she said.
In addition to her family and the Bakersfield community, Lamb said her co-workers and boss at the West Plains Surgery Center have been “a ray of light. I work with a wonderful group of people.”
She said she will still have a job waiting for her when she is able to return to work. “They will let me do what I can do. I will eventually have a prosthesis, and it won’t affect my work at all,” she said.
Benefit planned
A benefit auction for the Lambs is planned for 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, in the Bakersfield School gymnasium.
Several items will be up for auction, including a certificate for a European deer skull whitening from Summers Taxidermy and Wildlife Studio in Bakersfield. The certificate is valued at up to $75.
Also up for auction will be a $125 gift certificate from Shannon Bridges Photography and a free rack of ribs from Krispy Pig BBQ in West Plains. More items will be added.
To make a donation, call or text Jasmine Lamb at 870-656-0509 or go to facebook.com/angielambbenefit.
Unknown at the time to Lamb and her family, accidental discharges by the Remington 700 series rifle have been linked to at least two dozen deaths and more than 100 serious injuries, according to online sources. Lawsuits filed against the company cite guns firing without the trigger being touched.
In 2015 and 2016, the company issued a voluntary recall of certain serial numbers and carried out a campaign to notify the public of a trigger replacement offer. In March 2017, a judgment was made against Remington in a class action lawsuit that alleged the guns can fire without the trigger being pulled.
“We knew about the recall of some of the Remington guns but the serial number of my gun was not within the recall,” said Lamb. “But we have since found out that the model I own also has a history of misfiring and injuring people. We didn’t have a clue about that until someone brought us an article on it.”
According to the CNBC website, Remington has been under scrutiny for years. In the 2010 documentary “Remington Under Fire: A CNBC Investigation,” the news organization allegedly uncovered internal company documents showing that engineers had been working on a “theoretical unsafe condition” since before 1948. Allegedly, Remington repeatedly decided against modifying the trigger design or launching a recall.
Remington has also been on the receiving end of several wrongful death lawsuits, settling most of the suits out of court. Despite the settlements, according to various news reports, Remington continues to deny wrongdoing and maintains the rifles are safe.
Lamb said right now she and her family are focusing on her recovery, but they will be in contact with Remington about the incident. “We will be following up with Remington. This is not something I plan to let go. Maybe it will keep someone else from getting hurt.”
(Note: A special website has been set up with information about the class action lawsuit and the rifles included. For more information visit http://remingtonfirearmsclassactionsettlement.com/ or call 1-800-876-5940.)

Tecumseh mess: Except for a few months last spring, the Tecumseh access has been barricaded to vehicle traffic for nearly two years. The US Army Corps of Engineers says work should begin soon to repair the access, which was heavily damaged during the record April 2017 flood. The Corps said the project, which includes rebuilding the road, parking lot and boat ramp, should be completed in May if there are no complications from high water or winter weather.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
[0001]The present invention relates to a method for controlling a work machine during operation in a repeated work cycle.
[0002]The term "work machine" comprises different types of material handling vehicles like construction machines, such as a wheel loader and a dump truck (such as an articulated hauler). A work machine is provided with a bucket, container or other type of work implement for carrying/transporting a load. Further terms frequently used for work machines are "earth-moving machinery" and "off-road work machines".
[0003]In connection with transportation of heavy loads, e.g. in contracting work, work machines are frequently used. A work machine may be operated with large and heavy loads in areas where there are no roads, for example for transports in connection with road or tunnel building, sand pits, mines and similar environments.
[0004]The term work cycle comprises a route of the work machine (ie the work cycle travel path) and/or a movement of the work implement (lifting/lowering operation). During the performance of the work cycle, the work machine often encounters different gradients of the ground (uphill and downhill), and turns (cornering).
[0005]According to a first work cycle example, a wheel loader typically drives into a heap of material, lifts the bucket, reverses out of the heap, turns and is forwarded towards a dump truck where it unloads the material onto the container of the dump truck. After unloading, the wheel loader returns to the starting position.
[0006]According to a second work cycle example, a dump truck is loaded at a first position, driven along a varied route, unloaded at a second position and driven back along the varied route. Normally, an excavator or wheel loader loads the container of the dump truck at the first position.
[0007]WO 2005/028926 discloses a method for automatically selecting a specific gear mode from a plurality of gear modes on the basis of the type of work cycle that the vehicle currently performs. The vehicle gear box is controlled in response to the selected gear mode. The type of work cycle is determined by detecting a total distance the vehicle is driven in an individual sequence with one of a forward gear position and a reverse gear position.
[0008]It is desirable to reduce fuel consumption and/or increase productivity, ie transporting as much material in as short time as possible in a cost-efficient way. Further, the transportation should preferably be performed with due regard to environmental factors.
[0009]According to an aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for controlling a work machine during operation in a repeated work cycle comprising the step of controlling the work machine in response to a predetermined control strategy that is based on at least one condition that varies in the course of the work cycle.
[0010]The condition which varies may regard for example a work machine behaviour, a work cycle travel path direction and/or a work implement operation. More specifically, the condition variation may comprise a predicted and/or experienced sequence of events that takes place during performance of the work cycle and which is relevant for the control of the work machine. Each such event represents an important change in a work machine operational parameter, and each event is preferably associated to a position along the work cycle travel path.
[0011]According to a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the step of establishing the control strategy on the basis of said at least one condition that varies in the course of the work cycle. Thus, the control strategy (or control model) is built up on the basis of the condition variation. The condition variation is associated to a variation in the work machine operational characteristics. In other words, the sequence of events is built up in response to the predicted and/or experienced driving pattern along the work cycle route.
[0012]According to a further development of the last mentioned embodiment, the control strategy is based on a condition that varies between end positions of the work cycle. A first of said end positions preferably comprises a loading position and a second of said end positions preferably comprises an unloading position for the work machine.
[0013]According to a further preferred embodiment, the method comprises the step of detecting at least one operational parameter during operation of a work machine in the work cycle in question, and establishing at least part of the control strategy on the basis of a magnitude of the detected operational parameter. Preferably, the method comprises the step of repeatedly detecting said at least one operational parameter. Further, a plurality of operational parameters are preferably detected, such as an operational parameter indicative of the work machine weight, an operational parameter indicative of an end position of the work cycle, an operational parameter indicative of a rolling resistance, an operational parameter indicative of a resistance to ground inclination, an operational-parameter indicative of the speed of the work machine and a change of direction of the work cycle travel path. Said at least one operational parameter is preferably substantially continuously repeatedly detected.
[0014]Thus, an event may be established on the basis of the detected operational parameter in a previously performed work cycle and used for controlling a work machine by means of the control strategy in a later performed work cycle. More particularly, an individual work machine may be adapted to learn from past experiences.
[0015]According to a further preferred embodiment, the method comprises the step of predicting at least part of the condition variation on the basis of pre-available information of the work cycle in question. Such information may be formed by geographical maps of the area covering the work cycle travel path, knowledge of the specific work cycle travel path (comprising turns and slopes), the material to be transported, ground conditions, weather conditions etc. For example, a satellite based system (such as the GPS) may be used for establishing the work cycle travel path.
[0016]According to a further preferred embodiment, the control strategy is established on the basis of both detected operational parameters while performing the work cycle and available information of the work cycle in question.
[0017]Thus, the work cycle route may be indicated in a topographical map, wherein turns and slopes are defined.
[0018]The control strategy is based on such a topographical map and it may be modified based on detected operational conditions such as rolling resistance etc.
[0019]Further, the condition variation, such as the work machine behaviour, may differ when the work cycle is performed depending on for example the type, size, condition and weight of the work machine. More specifically, the weight differs substantially in a loaded condition and an unloaded condition. For example, an articulated hauler may have a weight in the order of 15-30 metric tons and may be loaded with a payload in the order of 20-35 tons. Further, different models of a work machine may react differently when the work cycle is performed. Further, different individuals in a fleet may be of different age and have different operation history with a resulting wear in response thereto etc.
[0020]Such variations may be taken into account when establishing the control strategy for an individual work machine.
[0021]According to a further preferred embodiment, the control strategy comprises a plurality of control steps, wherein each step is established on the basis of the condition variation. Preferably, the work cycle travel path comprises a plurality of positions, wherein each position is established on the basis of the condition variation.
[0022]Each control step indicates that the work machine should be effected for an optimum control. Such a control step may be indicated by the position of a change in altitude, or a change in direction, of the work cycle travel path. Further, such a control step may be indicated by the position of a change of the ground conditions (with regard to rolling resistance and/or grip, ie hard versus slippery surface). Further, such a control step may be effected by a total weight of the work machine (comprising any transported material).
[0023]According to a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the step of controlling at least one device in a work machine power transmission system in response to the established control strategy during operation of the work machine in the work cycle. Especially, the control strategy comprises work machine powertrain operating information and the method comprising the step of controlling a powertrain component. The term "powertrain" comprises the system for moving the work machine from (and including) a power source (such as a diesel engine) to the ground engaging members (such as wheels).
[0024]According to a further preferred embodiment, the control strategy comprises information regarding gear selection and the method comprising the step of controlling a transmission. Preferably, the control strategy comprises information regarding selection of a gear mode from a plurality of gear modes and the method comprising the step of controlling a transmission.
[0025]Thus, for a work machine with an automatic gearbox a so-called gear mode or gear function is automatically selected in response to the established control strategy. The gear modes may differ in that changing to a higher gear, changing up, is carried out at different minimum engine speeds, for changing between corresponding gears, and changing to a lower gear is carried out at different minimum vehicle speeds. By automatically controlling the gearbox in response to the established sequence of control events, fuel efficiency can be improved. Further, wear on the transmission can be reduced.
[0026]According to a further preferred embodiment, the control strategy comprises information regarding a differential gear operation and the method comprising the step of controlling the differential gear. An articulated hauler comprises a longitudinal and/or transverse differential gear with an associated differential gear lock mechanism. Such differential gear lock mechanisms are used to increase the off road driveability, but they are often engaged also when they are not needed. By automatically controlling the activation of the differential gear lock mechanisms in response to the established sequence of control events, fuel efficiency can be improved and less wear on the components can be achieved, leading to a longer life.
[0027]Other advantageous embodiments of the invention and its associated advantages are apparent from the following description.
[0028]The invention will be explained below, with reference to the embodiments shown on the appended drawings, wherein

[0038]FIG. 11 illustrates the positions of a plurality of work machines relative to a work cycle travel path.
[0039]FIG. 1 shows a frame-steered work machine constituting a wheel loader 101. The body of the wheel loader 101 comprises a front body section 102 and a rear body section 103, which sections each has a pair of half shafts 112,113. The rear body section 103 comprises a cab 114. The body sections 102,103 are connected to each other in such a way that they can pivot in relation to each other around a vertical axis by means of two first actuators in the form of hydraulic cylinders 104,105 arranged between the two sections. The hydraulic cylinders 104,105 are thus arranged one on each side of a horizontal centerline of the vehicle in a vehicle traveling direction in order to turn the wheel loader 101.
[0040]The wheel loader 101 comprises an equipment 111 for handling objects or material. The equipment 111 comprises a load-arm unit 106 and an implement 107 in the form of a bucket fitted on the load-arm unit. A first end of the load-arm unit 106 is pivotally connected to the front vehicle section 102. The implement 107 is pivotally connected to a second end of the load-arm unit 106.
[0041]The load-arm unit 106 can be raised and lowered relative to the front section 102 of the vehicle by means of two second actuators in the form of two hydraulic cylinders 108,109, each of which is connected at one end to the front vehicle section 102 and at the other end to the load-arm unit 106. The bucket 107 can be tilted relative to the load-arm unit 106 by means of a third actuator in the form of a hydraulic cylinder 110, which is connected at one end to the front vehicle section 102 and at the other end to the bucket 107 via a link-arm system 115.
[0042]FIG. 2 schematically shows a first embodiment of a powertrain 201 and a hydraulic system 214. The powertrain 201 comprises a power source 202 (prime mover) in the form of an internal combustion engine and a transmission for transmitting power from the engine 202 to the wheels 212 for propelling the wheel loader. The engine 202 is preferably a diesel engine. The powertrain 201 is of a mechanical type and comprises from the engine 202 to the wheels 212 the following: a transmission unit 203, in the form of a torque converter, a gearbox 204, a cardan shaft 205, a differential gear 206 and transverse half shafts 112. The gearbox is adapted for varying the speed of the vehicle, and for changing between forward and backward driving direction of the wheel loader 101.
[0043]The torque converter 203 is able to increase the torque, which means that the output torque of the torque converter can be for example in the interval 1-3 times the torque of the internal combustion engine 202. Furthermore, the torque converter has preferably a free wheel function and a lock-up function for direct operation without any increased torque. Thus, the transmission ratio of the torque converter in the lockup state is fixed, and preferably substantially 1:1. However, in an alternative embodiment the transmission unit 203 could be an ordinary clutch for disengagement or direct operation without any increased torque. Such a clutch could be a hydraulic clutch as well as a mechanical clutch, such as a variably controlled friction slip clutch.
[0044]The engine 202 is adapted to provide a motive power for propelling the vehicle and to operatively drive at least one variable displacement pump 213 in the hydraulic system 214 for lifting operations and steering the wheel loader 101. The hydraulic pump 213 is driven by the internal combustion engine 202, preferably via gear wheels 207 arranged between the torque converter 203 and the gearbox 204.
[0045]The pump 213 is configured for delivering pressurized hydraulic fluid from a tank 215 to the cylinders 104,105,108,109,110. A number of electronically controlled valve units are hydraulically connected between the pump 213 and the cylinders 104,105,108, 109,110 for regulating the reciprocating work of the cylinders. The system of hydraulic valve units is, for ease of presentation, represented by a single box 216.
[0046]FIG. 2 further shows a first exemplary embodiment of a control system 221 for controlling the engine 202 and the gearbox 204 of the wheel loader 101. The control system 221 comprises a control unit 222 with software for controlling the wheel loader 101. The control unit 222 is connected to the gearbox 204 for controlling the gear box according to an established control strategy, see further below.
[0047]The control unit 222 is commonly known as a central processing unit (CPU) or an electronic control module (ECM) for an electronic control of the vehicle operation. In a preferred embodiment, the control unit comprises a microprocessor. The control unit 222 comprises a memory, which in turn comprises a computer program with computer program segments, or a program code, for implementing the control method when the program is run. This computer program can be transmitted to the control unit in various ways via a transmission signal, for example by downloading from another computer, via wire and/or wirelessly, or by installation in a memory circuit. In particular, the transmission signal can be transmitted via the Internet.
[0048]The control system 221 comprises a sensor (not shown) for detection of a speed of the vehicle. The sensor can consist of or comprise a magnetic pick-up device that detects the movement of a gear tooth in the gearbox, as the speed of rotation of the gear tooth corresponds to the speed of the engine. The sensor is arranged to generate a signal with this information to the control unit 222. The control unit 222 receives signals from said sensor.
[0049]The control unit 222 is further adapted for controlling the speed of the engine 202 via known control means, such as via a fuel pump. The control unit 222 receives information concerning the required speed of the engine from a sensor 224, which detects the position of a throttle pedal and generates a signal with information about the position of the throttle pedal to the control unit 222. The engine speed is thus increased with increased depression of the throttle pedal.
[0050]A steering angle sensor 226 is adapted to detect the steering angle of the vehicle, ie the inclination between the two vehicle parts 102,103 with regard to a vertical axis and generates a corresponding signal for input to the controller 222. Such a sensor may be constituted by a linear sensor arranged for detecting an extension of one of said steering cylinders 104,105, or a rotary sensor, positioned at the steering joint. Thus, the sensor 226 is adapted to detect a change of direction of the travel path in a horizontal plane. Alternatively, the steering angle sensor may be adapted for detecting a turning amount of a steering wheel or deflection of a steering lever.
[0051]An inclination sensor 228 determines the inclination of the horizontal longitudinal axis of the work machine and generates a corresponding signal for input to the controller 222. Thus, the inclination sensor 228 is adapted to detect a ground inclination of the travel path.
[0052]An axle load sensor 230 is adapted to detect a loading condition of the work machine and generates a corresponding signal for input to the controller 222. It is possible to replace the axle load sensor with wheel load sensors associated with the individual wheels. That has the advantage of permitting a comparison to be made between the wheel loads on the left side of the vehicle and the right side of the vehicle to find out if there is a risk for the work machine turning over for instance in a curve.
[0053]All the sensors mentioned above are known per se to a man skilled in the art of work machine powertrains so their structure need not be explained here.
[0054]The control system 221 further comprises a means 232 for establishing a position of the working machine 101. The positioning means 232 is constituted by an antenna and is adapted to communicate with external means, such as satellites for establishing the work machine position. The control system 221 may use the Global Positioning System (GPS). This is further described below with reference to FIG. 8.
[0055]A rolling resistance of the work machine is determined. The rolling resistance is dependent on a ground condition. More particularly, rolling resistance is a measure on a powertrain load for moving the work machine with a certain speed. The rolling resistance is higher with looser ground, such as mud or snow. Likewise, resistance due to ground inclination is a measure on a powertrain load for moving the work machine with a certain speed upwards. A measure of the powertrain load may be established based on a torque transmitted by means of the torque converter 203.
[0056]Although not illustrated in FIG. 2, the powertrain 201 includes sensors at various strategic positions for measuring the torque, or measuring parameter signals allowing the subsequent calculation or estimation of the torque; the sensors are beneficially implemented as rotation rate sensors, for example tachometers implemented as optical or inductive encoders, operable to generate signals; from the signals, a measure of the torque can be computed from angular acceleration dω/dt using Equation 1 (Eq. 1)
T = I w t Eq . 1 ##EQU00001##
whereinT=torque; andI=moment of inertia.
[0057]Since rolling resistance and resistance, due to ground inclination are affected by vehicle total weight the vehicle weight is detected during driving. This could be done either by a load weighing system, see above, or by acceleration calculations. The weight of the load is preferably set to zero whenever the bucket is lifted from the frame (it is assumed that the complete load is then released/emptied). The weight is preferably only calculated when the ground inclination is near zero.
[0058]The control unit 222 is adapted to control the gear modes of the gearbox 204 and more specifically by automatic changing between different gears.
[0059]With reference to FIG. 3, a work cycle in the form of so-called short-cycle loading for the wheel loader 101 is shown. The short-cycle loading is characterized in that the longest distance that the vehicle travels between a loading and an unloading position does not exceed a certain number of metres, in this case of the order of 15 metres. More specifically, the wheel loader 101 is used to scoop up material from the loading position (excavating a natural ground 301) with the bucket 107 and unload it in the unloading position (onto a container of a dump truck 601 in the form of an articulated hauler).
[0060]FIG. 3 shows a driving pattern comprising a series of steps from excavation to loading onto the dump truck 601. Specifically, the wheel loader 101 travels forward, see arrow 302, to the natural ground 301 in for example a forward second speed gear. The wheel loader is in a straight position, wherein the front and rear vehicle parts are in line. When it approaches the natural ground 301, it thrusts into the natural ground in for example a forward first speed gear in order to increase tractive force, see arrow 303. The lifting arm unit is raised, wherein the bucket 107 is filled with material from the natural ground.
[0061]When the excavation is finished, the wheel loader 101 is retreated from the excavating operation position at a high speed in for example a reverse second speed gear, see arrow 304 and the wheel loader is turned to the right (or to the left), see arrow 305. The wheel loader 101 then moves forward, see arrow 306, while turning hard to the left (or right), then straightens out the vehicle to travel to approach the dump truck 601 at a high speed, see arrow 307. The lifting arm unit 106 is raised, the bucket 107 tilted and the material is deposited on the container of the articulated hauler. When a loading operation of the dump truck 601 is finished, the wheel loader 101 moves away in reverse from the dump truck 601 at a high speed, see arrow 308, turns to a stop position and is driven forwards again 310 towards the natural ground 301.
[0062]With reference to FIG. 4, a work cycle in the form of so-called load carrying for the wheel loader 101 is shown. The load carrying is characterized in that the longest distance that the vehicle travels between the loading and the unloading position is within a predetermined range, in this case 15-75 metres.
[0063]The arrows indicated by reference numerals 402-405 in FIG. 4 relate to four vehicle movements, namely forwards towards and interaction with the material (gravel or stone) 401 that is intended to be moved, backwards with the material in the bucket 403, forwards again 404 to the unloading position (articulated hauler 601) where the material is intended to be placed, and thereafter backwards 405 to the initial position.
[0064]The wheel loader experiences two turns 407, 408 on its route between the loading position and the unloading position. Further, it passes an area 406 of loose ground resulting in an increased rolling resistance.
[0065]FIG. 5 shows a further example of a work cycle in a side view. The material is collected (scooped up) at a plateau 501 and delivered to the articulated hauler 601 at a lower position. The work cycle path comprises a steep portion 502 between the loading position and the unloading position. The starting point of the steep slope is indicated by reference numeral 503 and the finishing point of the steep slope is indicated by reference numeral 504.
[0066]Each curve 407,408, the starting point and finishing point of the loose ground 406, and the starting point and finishing point of the slope 502 define an event in a sequence of events that the wheel loader experiences while performing the load carrying work cycle.
[0067]During a first route of the load carrying work cycle, a plurality of operational parameters are detected and recorded. Preferably, the detected operational parameter is indicative of a work machine behaviour.
[0068]More specifically, a powertrain load is continuously determined. The powertrain load may for example be determined by determining a converter torque.
[0069]Further, the turns 407,408 are detected by means of the steering angle sensor 226. The change 503, 504 of ground inclination is detected by means of the inclination sensor 228. Each of the detected operational parameters forms an input signal and is sent to the control unit 222 and recorded in the memory of the control unit 222.
[0070]Further, the geographical position of the wheel loader is detected and associated to each of the detected events by means of a navigation system. Preferably, satellite based system, such as GPS (Global Positioning System) is used for detecting these positions, see further below referring to FIG. 8. Thus, the work cycle route is represented by a path on a geographical map.
[0071]A control strategy is established on the basis of the operational parameter information in the input signals. More specifically, each detected operational parameter information is analyzed and if it is deemed to be of such a magnitude that it should effect the wheel loader control, it is represented by a control event in the sequence of control events. In other words, a model, or map, is built of the work cycle comprising information of a plurality of events, each linked to geographical position.
[0072]For example, a steep uphill can be located and the control strategy established so that any up gear shifts are avoided just before the uphill starts. In this way the number of gearshifts can be reduced. Preventing gear hunting is also possible (according to some known gear shift strategies, gear hunting is a known undesired phenomenon, wherein the terrain leads to a series of alternating upshifts and downshifts). Further, in down hill driving, the gearbox can skip gear shifts more easily and thereby increasing acceleration and keeping engine revs low.
[0073]Further, it is known that the steering of the vehicle is often stealing power when used. This often results in unnecessary down shifting in corners. By learning where the corner is the vehicle can hold the gearshift during the corner and thereby saving one down shift and one upshift.
[0074]According to a further example, the method comprises control of engagement/disengagement of a differential gear locking means in the powertrain, The clutches can be of dogbone type of differential lock, differential sliding plate clutches, only sliding plate clutches or any other means of connection between front/rear or left/right side of driveline. Those clutches are used to increase the off road driveability, but often the clutches are engaged when not needed and this costs fuel since there is inevitably a speed difference between different wheels and this introduces trapped torque in the driveline. Wear on gears are also increased. Based on the information of the slipping ground, it is determined if the differential gear locking means should be engaged and for how long during the defined portion of the work cycle route.
[0075]By using a GPS the transmission can for example learn where a steep uphill is located and thereby engaging clutches just before the uphill starts or where there is a slipping surface. In this way the total time of clutch engagement can be reduced. Preventing clutch engagement of clutches also increases top speed and acceleration.
[0076]Another example is learning where the heap of material is located in the Loader case. This is especially useful for automatic activating of transverse differential clutches or limited slip differentials, mostly in the front axle. Longitudinal and rear axles may also be activated of course. Further, a kick-down may be initiated automatically.
[0077]FIG. 6 illustrates the articulated hauler 601 in a side view. The articulated hauler 601 comprises a front vehicle section 602 comprising a front frame 603, a front wheel axle 604 and a cab 606 for an operator. The articulated hauler 601 also comprises a rear vehicle section 607 comprising a rear frame 608, a front wheel axle 609, a rear wheel axle 610 and a tiltable load-carrying container, or platform 611. The container 611 is tiltable relative to the rear frame 608 via two actuators 615 in the form of hydraulic cylinders. The front and rear wheel axle 609,610 of the rear vehicle section 607 are connected to the rear frame via a bogie arrangement (not shown) and may therefore be referred to as front bogie axle 609 and rear bogie axle 610.
[0078]The articulated hauler 601 is designed for switching between operations using various driving wheel combinations, all six wheels on the three axles being selectively operable as driving wheels, depending on the prevailing operating conditions. The articulated hauler may have a weight in the order of 15-30 metric tons and may be loaded with a payload in the order of 20-35 tons.
[0079]The front frame 603 is connected to the rear frame 608 by means of a first articulation joint 612 allowing the front frame 603 and the rear frame 608 to pivot relative to one another about a vertical axis for steering the vehicle. Thus, the articulated hauler 601 is a so-called frame-steered vehicle. A pair of hydraulic cylinders 613 is arranged one on each side of the articulation joint 612 and controlled by an operator via a steering wheel and/or a joy stick (not shown) for steering the vehicle.
[0080]A second articulation joint 614 is configured for allowing the front frame 603 and the rear frame 608 to pivot relative to one another about an imaginary longitudinal axis, i.e. an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 601. The articulation joint comprises two correspondingly shaped tubular parts, a first part secured to the front frame 603 and a second part secured to the rear frame 608. The first part is glidingly received in the second part so that the front frame 603 may pivot relative to the rear frame 608 about said longitudinal imaginary axis.
[0081]FIG. 7 illustrates a typical example of a work cycle route 701 between a loading position 702 and an unloading position 703 for the articulated hauler. An articulated hauler 601 is schematically indicated in FIG. 7 and the arrows indicate travel direction along the travel path. The route 902 comprises two sharp turns 704,705. A control strategy is established for the work cycle 701 in a similar manner as has already been described above for the wheel loader.
[0082]FIG. 8 illustrates a weighing of control information in response to an actual position of the work machine relative to a specific work cycle travel path. One aspect in realization of this invention is how accurate the actual position must be compared to the established work cycle travel path. If for example the driver is choosing a different track, lets say five meters to the left of the normal track, what decision should then be taken? If there is an uphill in the normal case it is probable that there will be an uphill in the new track too. But if there is a road in the normal case, it could be a ditch in the new track. The most realistic approach is to weigh the information due to how close the actual position is the established work cycle travel path.
[0083]FIG. 9 schematically discloses a system 801 for monitoring and/or controlling a plurality of work machines 601 in a work site. The system 801 comprises a plurality of satellites 802 and a remote base station 803 with receiving and transmitting means 804. Each work machine 601 has means 232 (see FIG. 2) for detecting its position via the satellites. Further, each machine has transmitting means adapted to send signals with position information and information regarding the detected operational parameters to the base station 803. Preferably, after having performed a work cycle, the work machine sends a signal to the base station comprising information of detected operational parameters and/or work machine operational characteristics.
[0084]In this way, information regarding the control strategy may be shared between different work machines for operation in the repeated work cycle in question in the same geographical region or work site. In other words, if several work machines will perform the same work cycle, it is sufficient that the first work machine, in chronological order, that performs the work cycle collects relevant data and establishes the control strategy, and preferably stores the established control strategy in a memory. This information can then be distributed to the other work machines. A certain time limit should be present in order to not use too old information. Examples of conditions changing over time are weather conditions such as ice and rain which both affects the driving.
[0085]Of course, as an alternative, information regarding detected operational parameters and associated positions may be sent to the base station, wherein the control strategy is established by the base station. Further, several laps of the work cycle may be used for establishing the sequence of events. Further, information from several work machines may be used for establishing the control strategy. The plurality of work cycle laps for establishing the control strategy may be performed by a single work machine, or by different work machines. Thus, an established control strategy may be altered continuously in response to new information. This may be important in cases where the ground conditions changes over time, if the weather changes (fall of rain, snow) etc. Further, an established control strategy may be altered according to individual characteristics of a specific work machine.
[0086]FIG. 10 illustrates, in a view from above, a work machine 1001 in operation. The position of the work machine 1001 is continuously recorded, wherein a work cycle travel path 1002 is established behind the work machine 1001. The arrow indicates the direction of the work machine.
[0087]FIG. 11 illustrates, in a view from above, a plurality of work machines 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104 in operation. A first work, machine 1101 operates in a repeated work cycle. More specifically, the work machine 1101 drives along a work cycle travel path 1105, which it created during an earlier lap of the work cycle. A second work machine 1102 is about to leave the work cycle travel path 1105. A third work machine 1103 enters the work cycle travel path 1105. A fourth work machine 1104 creates a separate work cycle travel path 1106.
[0088]According to an exemplary method, the GPS is used to determine a present position, speed, direction, acceleration and a derivative of the direction of an individual work machine, see for example the third work machine 1103 in FIG. 11, in operation. Further, it is determined whether it follows an existing work cycle path 1105. The existing work cycle travel path can either be a travel path earlier established by the work machine in question or by another work machine. Thus, preferably, the different work machines are in communication with each other. More specifically, the position of the third work machine 1103 and its future position are predicted by means of a confidence interval, for example by means of a Kalman filter. In this case, the third work machine 1103 has just entered the work cycle travel path 1105 of the first work machine 1101. When it is determined that the third work machine 1104 has entered and is following the travel path 1105, the third work machine 1103 is controlled according to the control strategy associated to the existing work cycle travel path 1005.
[0089]According to the short cycle loading via the wheel loader, see FIG. 3, the work machine operational characteristics associated to performing the work cycle may comprise events/steps such as a detected unloading height (ie a vertical position of the bucket), the position of the gravel 301, the position of the articulated hauler, the ground conditions, any height difference between the loading position and unloading position etc.
[0090]According to an alternative to building the control strategy from detected operational parameters only from at least one performed work cycle, at least part the control strategy could be pre-established by means of topographical maps and a planned work cycle route.
[0091]According to an alternative, the unloading position could be in a pile, in a stone crusher etc instead of onto another vehicle.
[0092]According to an alternative, the control strategy comprises information with regard to operating the work implement and the method comprising the step of controlling operation of the work implement. More specifically, the work implement information regards a work machine hydraulic system information and the method comprises the step of controlling the hydraulic system (especially the pump(s)). This alternative is particularly useful for work machines, where a substantial power is required for operating the work implement. This is the case in a wheel loader, see FIG. 1-3. More specifically, the control strategy may comprise information regarding power distribution between the hydraulic system and the powertrain and the method comprises the step of controlling power distribution in the power transmission system in response thereto.
[0093]Further, the control strategy may comprise information regarding power required to lift and dump a load etc.
[0094]According to an alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding power source control and the method comprises the step of controlling a power source (such as an internal combustion engine 202, see FIG. 2) in response thereto.
[0095]The work machine may be equipped with a diesel particle filter. In such a case, the control strategy may comprise information regarding when to regenerate the particle filter. The particle filter is preferably regenerated when the work cycle travel path ahead indicates a high torque requirement. On the other hand, if the system loses the GPS signal, it is assumed that the work machine is in a tunnel or within a building. In such a case, regeneration is unsuitable and therefore prevented.
[0096]According to a further alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding controlling loads such as an engine cooling fan, an air conditioning system or the batteries. The control strategy is preferably-designed so that such activation is prevented before the work machine reaches an uphill and/or when the hydraulic system is used (for lifting a load during short cycle loading). On the other hand, the loads may be applied when the work cycle ahead indicates a downhill. Further, in the case of an articulated hauler, the loads may be activated when the hauler is located in the loading position.
[0097]According to a further alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding controlling charge of a battery and/or cooling the engine. Preferably, the battery is charged and/or the engine is cooled in a downhill.
[0098]According to a further alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding controlling the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system is preferably deactivated during transport. Further, the hydraulic system may be deactivated during cornering while simultaneously driving up a ramp.
[0099]According to a further alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding controlling the pressure in the tires. The tire pressure is preferably controlled depending on a ground condition.
[0100]According to a further alternative, the control strategy comprises information regarding controlling the vehicle brakes and the method comprises the step of controlling at least one vehicle brake in response thereto. The controlled vehicle brake may be constituted by the service brake, the parking brake, the emergency brake, retarder brake function or engine brake etc.
[0101]According to a further alternative, the memory in the control unit 222 may comprise a plurality of control strategies, each associated to a specific work cycle.
[0102]The control unit 222 may be adapted to automatically recognize which work cycle the work machine is performing by detecting location and direction of the work cycle, and thereafter control the work machine according to the correct control strategy.
[0103]According to an alternative, a wheel speed sensor is arranged at a wheel for determining a slip condition and generates a corresponding signal for input to the controller 222. Thus, the wheel speed sensor is adapted to detect a ground condition. Preferably, one wheel sensor is arranged at each wheel.
[0104]According to an alternative, a transverse inclination sensor determines the transverse acceleration of the work machine and generates a corresponding signal for input to the controller. In other words, the sensor generates information regarding if the work machine is running through a curve or over a bumpy ground. Thus, the transverse inclination sensor is adapted to detect a lateral acceleration of the work machine.
[0105]The detected operational parameters during performance of the work cycle are not limited to work machine operating parameters, but may also comprise information of the surrounding area, especially the area ahead of the work machine along the work cycle travel path, such as slopes etc. Such external operational parameters may be detected via a camera or other means for reproduction of the area.
[0106]According to a further example, part of the work cycle may be performed in an environment that demands for a substantially different control strategy. For example, the work cycle route may extend in an environment that is of a substantially different temperature, such as higher temperature (for example in a smelting plant), than the rest of the work cycle route. Due to the fact that this is known before an individual work machine performs the work cycle, a cooling capacity may be raised before the work cycle reaches the smelting plant.
[0107]The speed of the engine 202 is detected by an engine speed sensor (not shown). The engine speed sensor is arranged to generate a signal with the engine speed information for the control unit 222. In this way, an engine load can be determined. The engine operation information may be utilized for controlling the gear mode.

'The Last Jedi' Sweeps The Empire Awards With Five Wins
Posted by Ben Hart on 3/19/2018 5 comments
By: Benjamin Hart
Sunday was a big day for Star Wars: The Last Jedi as the film took home a total of five awards from the Rakuten TV Empire Awards, which is hosted annually by Empire Magazine. The ceremony was held in London's Roundhouse theater and key members of The Last Jedi cast & crew were on hand to accept the awards.
While initially receiving nominations in nine categories, The Last Jedi was awarded accolades for Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design, along with the top honor of Best Film. Furthermore, Rian Johnson received the award for Best Director, and Daisy Ridley won Best Actress for her portrayal of Rey. In addition, Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill was honored with Empire Icon Award.
Upon taking the stage, Hamill graciously accepted the award stating:
“Empire I think of as a magazine written by fans, for fans. First and foremost, that describes me, and I think the fans realise that — I’m one of them. I share this with all of you, and with the fans. Without them, I certainly wouldn’t be standing here.”
Rian Johnson took to Twitter to also share his gratitude:
There is no other word for this: I am CHUFFED. Thank you Empire readers!! https://t.co/867iqm4sEW
— Rian Johnson (@rianjohnson) March 19, 2018
Courtesy of Hey U Guys, you can view Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill's full acceptance speeches, along with red carpet interviews with writer/director Rian Johsnon and producer Ram Bergman:
Congratulations to Mark, Daisy Rian, Ram and the entire cast and crew for these much deserved honors! Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out now on Digital HD, and hits Blu-ray and 4K Ultra on March 27th.

Fings Ain’t Wot They Used T’Be
1 Lift. 8 Strangers. 54 seconds. A thousand possibilities.
The world premiere of a new musical by Craig Adams and Ian Watson about love, life and loss in a London lift. How the things we dare not say could change our lives and how those closest to us are often those we’ve never met.
Eight people get in a LIFT at Covent Garden tube station on an ordinary morning and what follows is an exploration into their thoughts. Through seeing everything they think and revealing their innermost secrets, we realize that in some way they are all connected and if they reached out to one another they might change their lives forever.
The show was developed with Perfect Pitch Musicals, an Arts council funded organisation dedicated to the creation of new British Musicals.

The gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is the agent of listeriosis, a hazardous foodborne infection. Foodborne listeriosis is a comparably rare disease, but the fatality rate is up to 30%, despite antibiotic treatment. Prevention of Listeria contamination is an important food safety challenge and the demand for rapid and specific L. monocytogenes detection systems, as well as antimicrobial agents, is steadily rising. However, the development of effective detection methods for L. monocytogenes was hampered by the lack of specific and highly affine antibodies. Antibody fragments or short synthetic peptides are interesting alternatives as probes for bacterial detection, as well as for novel therapeutic approaches. They can easily be selected by phage display. In this review, we report on recent achievements on the identification of specific ligands for L. monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes, phage display, probes, peptides, detection, therapy
The gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is the agent of listeriosis, a hazardous foodborne infection. L. monocytogenes naturally occurs in agricultural environments, but is commonly found in processed food, especially in ready-toeat meals and dairy products [1]. It can adapt to a wide range of food processing and storage conditions, including refrigeration temperatures and extreme pH conditions or salt contents [2]. Foodborne listeriosis is a comparably rare disease, but the fatality rate is about 30%, in spite of antibiotics treatment [3]. The European commission notification rate of listeriosis in 2015 was 0.44 cases per 100,000 populations, with steadily increasing tendency since 2012 (European Food Safety Authority & European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control, 2015). Prevention of Listeria contamination is an important food safety challenge and the demand for rapid and specific L. monocytogenes detection systems, as well as antimicrobial agents, is steadily rising.
The facultative intracellular bacterium crosses the intestinal barrier and can spread systemically. In addition, it can overcome other host barriers like the placental or the blood brain barrier, leading to fetal infections or meningitis as well as encephalitis [4,5]. The cell biology of L. monocytogenes infection was studied intensively in cell lines in recent years. L. monocytogenes enters non-phagocytotic cells via the action of its surface proteins called internalin A and internalin B, which are necessary for infection. Interaction with human cell surface proteins trigger internalization via vacuolization. Escape from the host vacuole is mediated by the pore forming activity of a secreted protein, listeriolysin O, and a phospholipase. Once L. monocytogenes has reached the cytosol, it can transfer into neighboring cells [6,7].
To reduce the risk of L. monocytogenes infection by contaminated food and to prevent food recalls, rapid and accurate methods for on-site detection need to be established. Species specific detection is also of great importance, as of the 17 species in the genus Listeria (comprises next to L. monocytogenes five close relatives: L. innocua, L. ivanovii, L. marthii, L. grayi and L. seeligeri [8]), only L. monocytogenes is pathogenic to humans [9]. L. monocytogenes comprises 13 serotypes, dependent on variation in the somatic and flagellar antigens, of which three (serotype 4b, 1/2a, 1/2b) are responsible for the majority of human infections [10,11]. Currently, conventional culture methods take 3 to 7 days, a time span too long to test fresh products before consumption. So far, the development of rapid detection methods for L. monocytogenes was hampered by the lack of highly affine and species specific antibodies. Despite intensive efforts, no polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies with sufficient selectivity and affinity for the detection of L. monocytogenes could be developed, and Bhunia suggested, that L. monocytogenes either lacks surface epitopes that are both unique and antigenic, or that the epitopes are not effectively processed during antibody production and maturation [12].
Stable antibody fragments, as robust and inexpensive alternative for antibodies, or short synthetic peptides, both selected by phage display, are an interesting alternative as probes for bacterial detection, as well as for novel therapeutic approaches. Antibody fragments or peptides can be easily immobilized on any biosensor surface and have been successfully used for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus anthracis [13-18].
Phages display does, in contrast to antibody production, not rely on antigen processing and presentation. The method was invented in 1985 [19] and has been successfully applied to many areas of research for the identification of small peptide ligands and antibodies with therapeutic and diagnostic purposes [20].
Phage display technology is based on the construction of a polypeptide library fused to a bacteriophage coat protein. Hundreds of libraries where already constructed by different research groups, but the use of commercial libraries, e.g. the New England Biolabs (NEB) Ph.D. phage display libraries, are also common. The phage selection procedure, also referred as biopanning, contains the incubation of the target molecules (that often are immobilized on a solid surface) with a phage display peptide library, the washing of the unbound phages, the elution of the bound phages and the amplification of the eluted phages. Phage particles that bind to the target are captured and enriched in three to four rounds of selection. Rounds of counter- or subtractive selections, e.g. against related bacterial species, can increase the specificity of the resulting peptides, which can be synthesized synthetically after the phage DNA has been sequenced [21-23].
In this review, we focus on the phage display selection of antibody fragments or peptides binding selectively to L. monocytogenes. An overview of phage display selected probes is given in (Table 1). The application of oligopeptide M13 phage display in pathogen research and the development of anti-infectives against bacteria, viruses and parasites were already reviewed elsewhere and are not focus of this review [23,24].

Main Text
The first report on species specific selection of Single Chain Variable Fragments (scFvs) by phage display was published in 2004 by Paoli et al. A scFv is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light chains (VL) of immunoglobulins, connected with a short linker peptide of ten to about 25 amino acids [36]. A pool of random scFvs expressed on the surface of filamentous bacteriophages was used for a solution biopanning with L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115 as a target. Strains of L. ivanovii and L. innocua were used for subtractive rounds of selection. A single phage clone, LmP4:A8 was selected using two independent panning schemes, one with and one without negative selection. The LmP4:A8 clone as well as a collection of other clones were tested for their binding specificity against eight strains of L. monocytogenes, the other six closely related species of Listeria and nine other bacterial species relevant in food microbiology by an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), performed with the scFv fragment representing phages. For several of the clones, including LmP4:A8, binding to one or more strains of L. monocytogenes without cross-reactivity towards any other species in the panel could be demonstrated [25].
In 2007, a study was published in which the specificity of the phage displayed scFv LmP4:A8 was characterized in more detail. An ELISA, again performed with the scFv fragment representing phages, was used to investigate the binding selectivity for 26 strains of L. monocytogenes and 15 other Listeria spp. The phage displayed scFv showed absolute specificity for L. monocytogenes, and 21 of 26 L. monocytogenes strains were detected. To ensure that the surface target of LmP4:A8 was also expressed in other media than Brain-Heart Infusion Medium (BHI), which was used for selection, the binding of LmP4:A8 in other media was investigated for 21 Listeria strains. The specificity for L. monocytogenes was maintained, but the detection of L. monocytogenes strains varied significantly in different media.
To test whether the antigen for LmP4:A8 was a protein or any other macromolecule, whole-cell extracts of L. monocytogenes were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. Identification of the protein antigen would allow more directed approaches to select antibodies or other binding probes. LmP4:A8 detected a protein with an apparent mass of about 90 kDa. Investigation of subcellular fractions showed that the respective protein was found at the cell wall as well as in the culture supernatant [27]. In a later publication, the protein was revealed to be ActA, an L. monocytogenes virulence factor which is expressed on the bacterial cell surface and plays an important role in cell-to-cell movement via actin polymerization [26]..
In their next publication, the authors reported on the construction of a plasmid vector that allowed the expression of histidine-tagged biotinylated L. monocytogenes specific scFvs (clone LmP4:A8) in Escherichia coli. The scFvs were immobilized on streptavidin-coupled Immunomagnetic Beads (IMBs), and their ability to capture and detect L. monocytogenes were tested and compared to commercially available L. monocytogenes IMBs. Specificity for L. monocytogenes as well as capture efficiency was higher for the scFv-IMBs than for the commercially available anti-Listeria-IMBs [28].
Although the expression of L. monocytogenes specific scFvs was described in the publication of 2007, Brewster et al. used phages which express the scFv clone LmP4:A8 to develop an L. monocytogenes specific biosensor system, based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Here, a SPREETA sensor was used with a simple fluidics system to characterize the interaction between by adsorption immobilized phage clones LmP4:A8 and Act A and to detect whole cells of L. monocytogenes [29]. SPREETA sensors are compact and inexpensive disposable sensors, which only require a fluidic system and interface electronics. They have already been used successfully for the detection of other bacterial species or their enterotoxins [37,38].
In 2015, Tu et al. described the identification and characterization of L. monocytogenes species-specific nanobodies, which were subsequently used for the detection of L. monocytogenes in milk. Two novel L. monocytogenes specific clones, designated L5-78 and L5-79, were isolated from a phage display antibody library, derived from the variable domain of heavy-chain antibodies (VHHs) of non-immunized alpaca. VHHs are antibody fragments consisting of a single monomeric variable antibody domain, able to bind selectively to a specific antigen. With molecular weights of 12–15 kDa, single-domain antibodies are much smaller than common antibodies. DNA encoding for VHH can easily be manipulated for cloning and expression, whereas the resulting proteins are more heat-resistant and stable towards detergents and high concentrations of urea than regular antibodies [39]. The phage library was first subjected to four rounds of panning on 96-well strip plates, four rounds of panning against heat-killed L. monocytogenes cells (serotype 4b) and one round of negative selection, performed on a mixture of eight different bacterial species from other genera. 96 randomly picked clones from the last round were subjected to indirect phage ELISA. The DNA of 38 clones binding to L. monocytogenes was sequenced, and 10 distinct phage clones were tested for their binding activity against Listeria spp. and other bacterial genera. The phage clones L5-78 and L5-79 bound to various serotypes of L. monocytogenes, but to a much lesser extent to bacteria of other genera. The corresponding coding sequences were subcloned, expressed in E. coli and purified. Then, the thermal and urea stability, as well as the pH tolerance were characterized. As the recombinant VHH L5-79 showed more suitable properties, it was used to develop a VHH based L. monocytogenes specific sandwich ELISA with a detection limit of 1 x 104 CFU/ml [30].
In 2005, Gasanov et al. employed random peptide phage display to identify novel surface antigens for Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes. The commercially available Ph.D.-12mer random peptide phage display library was used on immobilized L. monocytogenes cells. Unspecific phages were removed by absorbing the phage library on uncoated and BSA-blocked wells. Subtractive selections were performed by the sequential application on immobilized L. innocua and L. ivanovii cell cocktails. After two rounds of panning, the DNA of 10 single phage clones was extracted. The amino acid sequence for nine of the 10 clones was: TTSPLSQGSSYI. The identified peptide had significant homology with a peptide sequence found within the human Insulin- Like Growth Factor II Receptor (IGFIIR) protein, also known as cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor, indicating that a new receptor for the binding and invasion of Listeria spp. might have been identified. The Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC)- labelled synthetic peptide TTSPLSQGSSYI was bound by Listeria spp., but not by bacterial species of other genera, as confirmed by fluorescence spectrometry and FACS studies. Binding seemed to be independent of the two invasion factors InlA and InlB, whereas invasion of MSII and MS9 cells by L. monocytogenes deficient in both invasion factors was significantly reduced. Binding of IGFIIR by Listeria spp. was additionally confirmed by binding the cells or whole cell extract to magnetic beads, followed by subsequent affinity purification of the native receptor from fetal calf serum. Adherence to and invasion of mammalian cells by L. monocytogenes was significantly inhibited by the synthetic peptide and mannose 6-phosphate, which naturally binds to the IGFIIR receptor at the same epitope as the selected peptide [31].
Carnazza et al. made use of two phage displayed random peptide libraries (containing random nonapeptides and dodecapeptides) to select peptide ligands for the cell surface of L. monocytogenes. The phage clones were bound to the cells in suspension in four rounds of affinity selection, and phage clone pools from each round were analyzed for their relative binding to L. monocytogenes by ELISA. Selected clones from the pVIII-9aa library were found to bind L. monocytogenes to a relatively higher degree as from the pVIII-12aa library. The results were confirmed by co-precipitation assays. Eight clones reacted strongly with L. monocytogenes and their DNA was sequenced to reveal the amino acid sequences of the displayed peptides. The phages LN6 (RKLYALVPPPAP) and L16 (amino acid sequence not given) reacted strongly with L. monocytogenes in the co-precipitation assay and were used to test the possibility for immobilization of the L. monocytogenes affine phages to a putative biosensor surface. Both LN6 and LN16 could be immobilized to quartz, with LN6 appeared to bind more efficiently. The successful binding of L. monocytogenes to the immobilized phages could be demonstrated by high power optical phase contrast microscopy [32].
In 2013, Morten et al. used a combination of surface, solution and subtractive biopanning to select for L. monocytogenes specific binding peptides via phage display, using the NEB Ph.D. 12mer random phage display peptide library. The substraction biopanning was performed against L. innocua, the strain genetically closest to L. monocytogenes [40]. In the first three rounds, surface biopanning was performed against L. monocytogenes. Subsequently, in one of the schemes, subtractive surface biopanning against L. innocua was performed. For the other scheme, two rounds of solution biopanning followed, first against L. innocua, then against L. monocytogenes, respectively. DNA of the selected phages was sequenced after the third round of biopanning against immobilized L. monocytogenes, as well as after the last rounds of selection. Subsequent binding evaluations by phage clone ELISA revealed that all phage cloned tested from the pool obtained after the second round of biopanning in solution had higher specificity for L. monocytogenes 4b than for L. innocua, as well as for Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni. Specificity testing of the four clones with highest affinity to L. monocytogenes with five other Listeria spp. could demonstrate that the phage clone expressing the peptide GRIADLPPLKPN was most specific for L. monocytogenes. Only one of the phage clones tested from the other selection pools showed higher relative binding to L. monocytogenes than to L. innocua. Interestingly, of the four phage clones which bound with highest affinity to L. monocytogenes 4b, only one was able to bind the other tested serotypes 1/2a and 1/2c. For some of the phage clones, the representing peptides were chemically synthesized and tested for their binding to L. monocytogenes and L. innocua by sandwich ELISA, or they were immobilized to dynabeads and tested by magnetic separation in combination with plate counts. All the peptides tested did not show any binding or were not anymore shown to be specific to L. monocytogenes.
Flachbartova et al. performed selection with the NEB Ph.D.-12mer phage display library against multidrug resistant L. monocytogenes with the aim to select peptides binding to the cell surface, in order to isolate and characterize novel antimicrobial peptides. After four rounds of selection in solution, DNA was isolated from 20 phage clones and sequenced. Ten clones encoded the sequence NHLSTPVWSITG, referred to L1, four clones encoded the sequence DQFVHDVKGTKH, referred to L2, and six clones encoded NSWIQAPDTKSI, referred to L3.
had a bactericidal effect at concentrations of 200 μM. Both had a significant effect on energy metabolism, as they caused a significant decrease in ATP levels. Both peptides did not exhibit any toxic effect to eukaryotic cells, as measured by XTT assay, nor did they show any hemolytic activity. Determination of the physicochemical properties showed a positive net charge for L2, a neutral net charge for L3, and a total hydrophobic ratio of 25 and 33 %, respectively. A positive net charge for antimicrobial peptides is necessary for the binding of the negatively charged membrane [41,42]. Both peptides shared sequence similarities with other antimicrobial peptides (each about 35 %) [34].
Listeriosis represents a major public health problem. It is fatal in 30% of the reported cases despite treatment with antibiotics [3]. During recent years, the incidence of Listeriosis is steadily increasing [43] and in addition, multidrug resistant strains of L. monocytogenes, the agent of Listeriosis, were described [44-47]. Microbial testing plays an important role in ensuring food safety. The rapid and species specific monitoring of foodborne pathogens is the most effective way to prevent human infections [48]. Currently, time consuming culture-based methods are the gold standard, but lots of efforts are spent on the development of rapid detection methods, suitable for on-site detection. More advanced methods include Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA hybridization or methods with rely on bioselective probes to capture and detect bacteria or other indicating biomolecules, e.g. ELISA, immunomagnetic separation or biosensor techniques [48].
Despite intensive efforts [49-53], no polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies with sufficient selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of L. monocytogenes could be developed. High sensitivity is obligate because the number of bacteria likely to be present in food is very low, specificity is critical because bacteria of the genus Listeria are widely distributed in the environment, but only L. monocytogenes is pathogenic to humans [9,27]. Antibody fragments and specific peptides, possibly presented on phage clones, can be an attractive alternative for antibodies and offer durability, stability, and low-cost standardized production [54-56].
Both, antibody fragments as well as peptides, can be easily selected via phage display, and the method has been successfully applied in many different areas of research, including cancer research, Alzheimer’s research and infectious diseases [23,57,58].
With respect to the selection of antibody fragments or peptides to bind to L. monocytogenes, in all the articles reviewed here whole cells were used as targets. Cell surfaces are composed of a complex mixture of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins [59,60], and L. monocytogenes comprises 13 serotypes, dependent on variation in the somatic and flagellar antigens. To ensure specificity of the resulting probes, counter- or subtractive selection was applied in nearly all phages display schemes described in the literature reviewed here [25,30,31,33]. In the articles published by Carnazza and colleagues and Flachbartova at al., no subtractive rounds of selection were performed, nor were the resulting probes tested for their specificity [32,34]. Although biopanning is a simple process, the outcome is strongly dependent on multiple factors like counter selection, nature of the target, composition of the library and experimental parameters [23]. The resulting probes have to be carefully tested for their specificity, as phage libraries contain a large population of phages, which bind to different materials used in the panning procedure, like plastic, streptavidin, bovine serum albumin or other blocking materials etc., and false-positives need to be eliminated strictly. One point of importance is the affinity of the resulting probes. In tendency, peptides are less affine than antibodies, their KD within the micromolar range. As long as the probes are represented by phages, the avidity effect plays a role, as the probes are presented more than once, depending on the phage protein they are fused to. In the NEB Ph.D. peptide libraries, the peptides are fused to the phage coat protein III and are represented 5-fold. In the library used by Carnazza et al., the peptides are fused to the coat protein pVIII and are represented in 150 to 300 copies. If the represented peptides are synthesized, the avidity effect gets lost and the affinity can be significantly reduced. Interestingly, in the majority of articles reviewed here binding characterization of synthesized peptides is not demonstrated.
L. monocytogenes affects preferentially individuals with deficient immune system, pregnant woman, the youngest and the elderly, with fatal consequences in 30% of the cases [3]. The upcoming of multidrug resistant clinical and food borne isolates enforces the need of novel therapeutic strategies. L. monocytogenes is highly susceptible to antimicrobial peptides, which paves the way for the development of new therapeutic strategies or food preservatives. Growth of the bacteria is strongly inhibited by human defensins as well as some plant derived peptides [61]. Antimicrobial peptides have a non-specific mechanism of action, often resulting in cell wall disruption or inhibition of cell wall related processes, or inhibition of nucleic acid production, protein production or enzymes [62-65]. Some antimicrobial peptides, e.g. Leucocin A, which belongs to the class IIa bacteriocins, bind L. monocytogenes with higher affinity than other gram-positive bacteria, and where already used as bio-recognition elements in biosensor platforms for real-time bacterial detection [66].
Flachbartova et al. used combinatorial phage display to isolate peptide binding to the surface of a L. monocytogenes multiresistant clinical isolate. Surprisingly, despite selection only for surface binding, two of three selected peptides, which do not show any clear consensus sequence pattern amongst each other, showed antimicrobial activity. The mode of action of the peptides as well as the binding epitope on the cell surface would be highly interesting, but are not revealed yet.

Aziz Ansari responds to Sexual Assault allegations.
Archana Somani
The comedian and ‘The Master of none’ star Aziz Ansari was accused by an anonymous girl for having been sexually assaulted on a date with Aziz. Aziz Ansari has finally responded to the accusations. The comedian has finally released his side of the story on the date.
Here is what he has to say:
“In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.”
He further added to his part of the story explaining his aftermath to the date saying:
“The next day, I got a text from her saying that although ‘it may have seemed okay,’ upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said. I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.”
The accusation:
The Brooklyn based photographer while talking to Babe, accused Aziz Ansari for sexually assaulting and misbehaving on the date. She alleged that she was giving off cues to Aziz that she was not interested and comfortable but he seemed to have not noticed or if noticed then bluntly ignored infront of his desire for sex.
The Golden Globes Award winner for the best comedy in the viewers choice category for his show ‘The Master of none’ had worn a times up badge at the Golden Globes for his support for the women.He was reportedly called a hypocrite by the girl in question during her conversation with Babe, because on one side he portrays to support women for liberation and on the other hand he himself sexually assaulted her. She says all men are same.
However reading Aziz’s side of story we feel the girl might be trying to defame Aziz after he won the Golden Globes award. What say people. What are your views on the same??

Grace and the Guiltless by Erin Johnson
Publisher: Switch Press
Source: publisher in exchange for honest review
Buy It: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
Grace Milton's peaceful life with her family on a horse ranch outside Tombstone, Arizona is shattered in one devastating night. Her family is brutally murdered by the notorious Guiltless Gang, leaving Grace the only survivor. Trekking into the wilderness on her stallion, Grace falls ill from the elements. A young man name Joe saves her life by taking her to an Apache camp where she learns about their way of life and begins to fall for Joe. When Grace encounters one of the Guiltless Gang, her strength will be tested. Can she survive as a bounty hunter, or will she fall into darkness again? This Western revenge epic will captivate teen readers with its ruthless spirit of suspense and adventure and a powerful central romance. --Goodreads
Welcome to the Wild West. The beginning serves as a rather rude welcoming for readers when Grace’s whole family is murdered in cold blood. Grace is left all alone. She doesn’t know much about surviving in the wilderness or shooting a gun but she does know that she must seek revenge for her family. She embarks on a journey to find the Guiltless Gang—the people who killed her family—and find the justice she deserves.
In truth, I have never read a western before Grace and the Guiltless. Something about the setting, the horseback riding, the cowboys—it never really appealed to me. However, it is always good to try new things and when I picked up Grace, it was a pleasant surprise. The novel had all the ingredients for a perfect Western: the cowboys, the Indians, the guns, the horses, and even the ranch away from town. However, Erin Johnson brought a non-stop rollercoaster ride that does not give readers time to breathe. The show starts from page one, with Grace’s family being murdered, and the action doesn’t end until the last page.
Grace follows in the footsteps of books like The Hunger Games and Divergent with an incredibly strong female protagonist, taking both the figurative and literal reins of her own story. Grace has guts and is driven on her journey by her family’s deaths. Readers may find her want for revenge, and the mention of her journey, a bit overplayed in the novel. The constant action keeps the plot moving and keeps readers from being too annoyed. I do understand that Grace has lost her entire family; it is extremely natural to seek revenge. Still, Johnson could have withheld the repeated mention of “my family’s dead, got to avenge them” and “can’t be happy, got to go and get revenge.”
Despite the repetition of the main goal of the novel, Grace is a never-ending adventure that everyone can enjoy. From younger YA to adults, readers will not want to stop reading this fantastic thrill set in the Wild West.
And what would a novel set in the Wild West be without romance? Yes, there is romance! I wasn’t expecting it. Erin Johnson cleverly draws her romance which leaves readers wanting more. It is the sort of romance that gradually becomes more beautiful as more pages are turned. It is both realistic and so natural.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Her Cold Revenge, to find out what happens next. There wasn’t as much as a cliffhanger as I would have hoped but, in this case, it was better to end the way it had been. Johnson created some suspense, while still keeping within Grace’s character.
Erin Johnson’s Grace and the Guiltless is a continuous horse-back ride through the Wild West that will keep your heart pounding way past the last page.
Grace and the Guiltless (8/1/14): 4 stars
Her Cold Revenge (8/1/15): 4 stars
I'm Jeanna!
I love books, coffee, cute planners, blogging, and everything in between. I don't want you to miss out on the fantastic books out there, which is why I talk about books and write reviews. My reviews may include lame jokes and a side of sass, that make you feel like you are sitting down with an good, old friend for coffee. So grab a seat and let's get chatting.

Allied International Floor Jacks
The trouble is, actually solving them is extremely difficult and costly, making accurate, realistic simulations a significant problem for computer scientists, visual artists, and others.

"Most often when material from introns is improperly included with exons, the result is nonsense proteins that go on to quickly degrade, meaning that cancer may use this strategy to downregulate the production of certain anti-cancer proteins," Tan says. In the study, appearing in the Journal of Virology allied international floor jacks , 14 macaques were cerebrally and orally exposed to brain matter from CWD-infected deer and elk, and then monitored for up to 13 years. Cells grown in the laboratory that were previously resistant to trastuzumab became sensitive to the drug after exposure to S100P allied account blockers. "We wanted to better understand why parents choose not to vaccinate their children against HPV, since that information is critical for developing improved public health campaigns and provider messages to increase vaccination rates," says study author Anne Rositch, M.S.P.H., Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

How Mike Ashley can get away with this latest stunt is ridiculous
Another home defeat for the Toon with another two goals conceded. We had never started a season losing our first four home games in a row, but that stat has well and truly gone. We are in dire straits.
Jamie Vardy converted a softly awarded penalty before Harry Maguire sealed our fate late in the second half, as the England heroes put us to the sword. I don’t even remember the last time we had an England hero, that tells its own story.

NUFC Transfer Policy Has One Major Flaw
It doesn't look like NUFC will be going in for Debuchy again, even if Lille win or lose there Champions League qualifier this eve. Well certainly not with anything they haven't already gone in with. Ashley and Llambias value Mathieu Debuchy at £5million and no more. They come to this valuation based on his age and what the potential sell-on value would be. From a business point of view a potential sell-on value stance towards players bought for a significant amount of money, makes sense and on the whole is a very strong policy to have financially when it comes to transfers. I like it. The days of spending vast's amounts of transfer money on a player who end's up a flop and we end up selling for a fraction of the price are over. No longer will an Albert Luque happen or a Michael Owen bleed us dry.
However, there is one major flaw that seem's completely missed on Ash and Derek. Not all player's we sign will or will even need to be sold on, so what difference does it make? For example, Fabricio Coloccini signed for us for £10million and he will (hopefully) end his career on Tyneside in a few years. He has been a glorified success. We will recoup none of the £10million fee shipped out for him, but who cares? The money we have made from successful Premier League finishes makes up for that. Not to mention the fact we have had a brilliant captain for 5 years. Debuchy fit's into this example for me. Why would we need to sell on Debuchy? For a fee of £8million, we would have a very good player that will improve the team significantly and that will bring it's own financial rewards. This (for now) failure of not signing Debuchy is proof that this unshakable sell-on strategy is not always correct in the world of football. Football is a business yes, but only second behind a sport.
If we were to sign Debuchy tomorrow he would improve our team. No question. With an improved team comes improve results. With improved results comes more financial income from success. That's the theory. Now buying players meaning a team will definitely have better results isn't an exact science, by any means. So teams need to be careful at what they spend their hard earned dosh on. Which is why NUFC have this sell on policy in the first place. For example, if Anita doesn't turn out to be as good as we all hope than the club will look to sell him on for at least the money they paid for him at around £6million. He is 23 as it stands and we should be able to recoup our money no matter what, as players tend to peak in their mid-twenties. However, If he is successful on Tyneside, then that's when the sell-on policy really comes into it's own as we would sell him on, if the right offer came in, for a significant profit. The strategy is aimed at bringing in players at no older than 26 and for as smaller fee as possible, as to the estimated potential value. So Debuchy at 27 for a fee of anything above the estimated £5million - doesn't fall into this strategy. Unfortunately for us fans.
What's flawed with the above, if you take the fact Debuchy signing for us would make us a better team as a given, is if you were to ask most football fan's, managers, journos alike how much do you think Debuchy is worth? An average fee of around £8mil will probably be the answer. Which I reckon is pretty spot on, and so do Lille. He is a quality right back, who is 27 years old, he plays in a good league but not a top league for a good team but not the top team and so a good fee of around 10million Euros (£8mil) is about right. Lille can't demand any more than that and expect to sell him...but they aren't. They are being totally reasonable. It's NUFC who are being unreasonable.
What seems clear is NUFC will not offer more than £5million for Mattieu Debuchy. Really? From a football point of view that is laughable. Which I am sure the Lille chairman did when he read the fax/email from NUFC with their 'offer'. From a purely business point of view though, it does make sense from Newcastle's end. Debuchy is 27 and if NUFC were to sell him on at some point in the future they could hardly demand a fee of £8mil, or its very unlikely. £5mil is about right.
However, like I touched on before. Why would we need to sell on Debuchy? Why can't we sign him and have a quality defender who will hopefully end his career on Tyneside after a successful spell. Just like Captain Colo. Surely when a player like the quality of Debuchy comes along and says quite blatantly, 'I want to sign for Newcastle' we need to make exceptions to the rule. This is a player who has been linked with Real Madrid this morning as well as Inter Milan and Chelsea. He is quality. He is one of the top full back's in Europe. He want's to sign for Newcastle Utd? Ahead of Madrid? Ahead of Milan? He's available for £8million? Sign him up! From a football point of view you can see how this is a no-brainer. Unfortunately from this seemingly set in stone transfer policy we have. It doesn't look like it's going to happen. Which is absolutely criminal.
I hope I am writing all of this in vain come Friday night. I hope either NUFC have improved there offer for Debuchy and he becomes a NUFC player or for some reason Lille decide to sell him on the cheap after all. I am not very hopeful though to be honest. It looks dead in the water. A deal that to any football person seems to be the most obvious, no brainer, nothing to think about transfer you could possibly imagine for a club like ours...isn't going to happen. Like I say. Criminal.
There has to be exceptions to any rule. Even in business.
Good point well argued - totally agree. PS learn when to use 'their' instead of 'there' & take the apostrophe out of fan's when using the plural; then it would be a very good article.
ToonBano 29 August 2012 at 13:50
I'm usually sound on my theirs and theres...ha
couldn't be more true its a shame you can not contact the toon and tell them this personally!!!!!!!!!!
Spot on reasoning - the only thing probably not at the level it should be in your article is risk. If you think of all the players bought before the relegation, Colo was just one of a number who large fees were paid for. He seems to be an exception in that he is a fantastic player who stayed when all around were jumping ship and has now become a toon legend with his own song to boot. However, I agree that what we've seen of Debuchy looks extreme quality at a decent fee of 10m Euros. There are precedents that say you shouldn't buy players based solely on international tournaments and I'm assuming the risk is thought to be too great by the bosses that he wouldn't be as good as expected. I'd love them to take a chance and have him at Stade St James's (when are we getting of that ignorant SD.com Ashley?) along with a couple of other French fliers it would be great to watch.
David Cresswell 29 August 2012 at 12:42
Whilst I agree with your argument for the most part, the other major flaw, is that if NUFC only pay what "they" consider the right price, they seem forever to be doomed to be searching the bargain bucket for players.
As other clubs start to follow this pattern in these economically challenging times, this will become increasingly hard to do.
I'd love a Ferrari, but I can see my local dealership giving me short thrift if I only offer up the funds for a Skoda.
Also true that the fee NUFC have come up with for Debuchy, seems to be totally their own fee plucked out of the air. The footballing world knows that £7-£8mil isn't just his worth, but actually a bit of a bargain. To even try and negotiate on this is a tad unlikely, but to flat line make a take it or leave offer significantly less than this is unnecessary and plain daft.
Paul 29 August 2012 at 12:43
I think you make a very good point but I would say that when you make an offer it's basically made up of two elements - current value to the team + potential future value. Once a player is 28+ then that potential future value rapidly reduces, as you point out. So I would assume that the offer for Debuchy is based on value to the team and the club value that at around £5m.
Personally I think that's fair enough. You don't see many full backs around the world going for anywhere close to £10m unless they're exceptional. Barcelona paid £11m for Jordi Alba and he had a great Euro 2012 as part of the best side in the world. Plus, dare I say it, at his age there'll be a bit of sell-on value there!
Hopefully we'll still get Debuchy. £6-7m or thereabouts is probably his value.
brookie 29 August 2012 at 20:31
I think this deal is pretty straight forward. Newcastle don't see his worth to the club as £8m and I kind of agree. We don't necessarily need him. There isn't a gap in the team in his position where we need to spend £8m to rectify. It's as simple as that. Is it worth spending £8m to improve that area of the team? I don't think it is. 'Criminal'? Or good business sense?
I'd disagree that we don't need him. Simmo is arguably the weak link in the team. He offers nothing going forward. What I didn't mention, is that if were to bring in Debuchy then we could offload Simpson for £3-£4m to help pay for it. So we wouldn't necessarily be spending that much on Debuchy in total anyway. So yea, criminal.
Well it's objective either way. I really doubt anyone would pay £3-4m for Simpson when he's in the last year of his contract. I agree Simpson isn't as good as Debuchy but he is still decent enough for the level we are at and again it's not really an area we are desperate to strengthen. Factoring wages and agent fees in the deal could end up costing around £15m in total and that's a conservative estimate. So I can completely understand why Ashley would not be willing to sanction a deal for that much money.
Final Result Update! A Shocking Massive 65% Feel Misrepresented By Chronicle Survey
The shocking truth behind Newcastle's failure on Kenedy deal. It's totally unacceptable...
As a Newcastle fan, it is obvious our window was beyond a joke built up of lies and misery. However, I just want to make clear to everyone how either incompetent our administration is or how scumbaggery they are towards our official 'UEFA Elite Coach' Rafa Benitez. Or perhaps they are both.
We had in place a deal for Chelsea left back Kenedy sorted TWO WEEKS AGO but it could only be finalised once Chelsea brought in a first team wing back themselves. Fine.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was their first choice but that fell through on Deadline Day morning as he joined Liverpool. So, my amazing club concluded that the Kenedy deal was off. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed for Liverpoolhttps://t.co/VYn2yCcDcQ — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) August 31, 2017 Now, this is where some serious explaining needs to happen, as at 2.30pm Chelsea agreed a fee for Zappacosta in light of missing out on the Ox. The whole football world knew this as the fact he had Costa in his name brought great attention. So, …
Mitro is on fire and making Rafa look ridiculous
Just a word on the Mitrovic situation.
Mitro has not been given one league start all season. The one game he did start was in the League cup and scored. He mugged off Joe Hart in a Premier League game whilst scoring, elbowed someone and seemed shunned for it.
His (basically) replacement Joselu has been nothing short of terrible in front of goal this season. He had a 7 game spell where he started each game but scored in none of them. Yet Mitro was not brought in to end this nonsense.
Joselu has only 4 goals to his name in 20 appearances. One of those goals was the ridiculous ricochet against Liverpool and two were open goals. Mitro was only two goals behind despite no starts and a handful of appearances which were mainly 10 to 20-minute spell at the end of games.
Mitrovic has gone to Fulham on loan and has already bagged 5 in 4 games. He is actually Newcastle Utd's top scorer with 7 goals...
Sheff Utd boss said the following after he tore their defence apart, "Mitro is too goo…

WSU innovation improves drowsy driver detection
By: Ramprasad R On: 25.4.14 In: Technology No comments
Researchers at Washington State University Spokane have developed a new way to detect when drivers are about to nod off behind the wheel.
Their recently patented technology is based on steering wheel movements which are more variable in drowsy drivers and offers an affordable and more reliable alternative to currently available video-based driver drowsiness detection systems.
Van Dongen"Video-based systems that use cameras to detect when a car is drifting out of its lane are cumbersome and expensive," said Hans Van Dongen, research professor at the WSU Sleep and Performance Research Center. "They don't work well on snow-covered or curvy roads, in darkness or when lane markers are faded or missing.
"Our invention provides an inexpensive and user-friendly technology that overcomes these limitations and can help catch fatigue earlier, well before accidents are likely to happen," said Van Dongen, who developed the technology with postdoctoral research fellow Pia Forsman.
The science behind the invention was published in the journal Accident Analysis & Prevention. Researchers analyzed data from two laboratory experiments conducted at WSU Spokane.
Twenty-nine participants were on a simulated 10-day night shift schedule that caused moderate levels of fatigue, as assessed by their performance on a widely used alertness test known as the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT). During each night shift, participants spent four 30-minute sessions on a high-fidelity driving simulator, which captured data for 87 different metrics related to speed, acceleration, steering, lane position and other factors.
Data analysis indicated that the two factors that best predicted fatigue were variability in steering wheel movements and variability in lane position.
Researchers then showed that data on steering wheel variability can be used to predict variability in lane position early on, making it possible to detect driver drowsiness before the car drifts out of its lane.
"We wanted to find out whether there may be a better technique for measuring driver drowsiness before fatigue levels are critical and a crash is imminent," Van Dongen said. "Our invention provides a solid basis for the development of an early detection system for moderate driver drowsiness. It could also be combined with existing systems to extend their functionality in detecting severe driver drowsiness."
The solution uses inexpensive, easy-to-install parts including a sensor that measures the position of the steering wheel and could be included as part of a factory installation or as an aftermarket accessory.
A patent for this method of measuring driver drowsiness has been assigned to WSU under patent number 8676444, with Van Dongen and Forsman as the inventors.
The paper describing their work was published in Vol. 50 of Accident Analysis & Prevention with Forsman now with the University of Helsinki in Finland as the lead author. Coauthors include Van Dongen; WSU researchers Bryan Vila and Robert Short; and Christopher Mott of Pulsar Informatics, a private firm that develops behavioral alertness technology.

The Great Fire(s) of October 8, 1871
July 14th, 2017 Vox Leave a comment Go to comments
The night of Sunday, October 8, 1871 saw a huge, destructive fire rage through the city of Chicago, Illinois. The Great Chicago Fire started in the barn of one very unfortunate Mrs. Patrick O’Leary on the corner of DeKoven and Twelfth Streets. The fire raged to the northeast, eventually consuming some 2,000 acres and 17,000 buildings of Chicago, killing 300 people and leaving 100,000 people – a third of the city’s population – homeless. [1]
That fire is not the subject of this article, for it was only the second-worst (perhaps even third-worst) fire of that terrible evening in loss of life.
Who’s Heard of Peshtigo, WI?
The greatest fire in terms of loss of life happened that same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin and surrounding areas. The Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871 resulted in the deaths of between 1,200 and 2,500 people (800 in Peshtigo alone), and is the deadliest fire in U.S. History. [2] Because the fire was mainly rural, it is called a forest fire in many sources. Fires had actually been burning in the Peshtigo area for weeks, but due to extremely hot and windy conditions Sunday night, these merged and grew into a firestorm which engulfed Peshtigo on October 8. The Peshtigo fire scorched about 1.2 million acres of land, and actually jumped Green Bay to burn parts of Door and Kewaunee counties on the Door Peninsula.
The poor people of Peshtigo and neighboring towns did not know the danger they were in until a wall of fire raced towards the town. We get a glimpse of the horror of that night in this newspaper article from October 11th:
From the survivors, we glean the following in reference to the scene at the village and in the farming region commonly known as the “Sugar Bush.” Sunday evening, after church, for about half an hour a death like stillness hung over the doomed town. The smoke from the fires in the region around, was so thick as to be stifling and hung like a funeral pall over everything and all was enveloped in Egyptian darkness. Soon, light puffs of air were felt, the horizon at the south east, south and south west began to be faintly illuminated, a perceptible trembling of the earth was felt, and a distant roar broke the awful silence. People began to fear that some awful calamity was impending, but as yet, no one even dreamed of the danger.
The illumination soon became intensified into a fierce lurid glare, the roar deepened into a howl, as if all the demons from the infernal pit had been let loose, when the advance gusts of wind from the main body of the tornado struck.
Chimneys were blown down, houses were unroofed, the roof of the Wooden Ware Factory was lifted, a large ware house filled with tubs, pails, [kanakans?], keelers and fish kits was nearly demolished, and amid the confusion terror and terrible apprehension of the moment, the firey element in tremendous unrolling billows and masses of sheeted flame, enveloped the [doomed?] village. The frenzy of despair seized on all hearts, strong men bowed like reeds before the firey blast, women and children, like frightened spectres flitting through the awful gloom, were swept like Autumn leaves. Crowds pushed for the bridge, but the bridge, like all else, was receiving its baptism of fire. Hundreds crowded into the river, cattle plunged in with them, and being huddled together in the general confusion of the moment, many who had taken to the water to avoid the flames were drowned. A great many were on the blazing bridge when it fell. The debris from the burning town was hurled over and on the heads of those who were in the water, killing many and maiming others so that they gave up to despair and sank to a watery grave.
In less than an hour from the time the tornado struck the town, the village of Peshtigo was annihilated! [3]
The firestorm that destroyed Peshtigo has been compared to the man-made firestorms of World War II which decimated Dresden and Tokyo. Like those cities, there was nowhere to hide from the advancing wall of flame:
People didn’t just die in Peshtigo. They spontaneously combusted and were cremated by heat that reached 2000 degrees. They succumbed instantly from breathing in poisoned, superheated air. They died of smoke inhalation, were run over by panicked livestock and drowned in the river where they sought refuge. Others were crushed in collapsing buildings, impaled by flying debris and pulverized by all kinds of things dropping out of the sky on top of them. Still others committed suicide rather than face death by fire. There is one known case where a father killed his three daughters and then himself to avoid that fate. [4]
The same hot and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the Chicago and Peshtigo fires also resulted in The Great Michigan Fire, which burned several towns in the thumb of Michigan and may itself have resulted in over 500 deaths, placing Chicago third on the list of fatal fires that night. [5]
1871 illustration from Harper’s Magazine depicting a shocked Mrs. O’Leary seeing her cow kicking over the lantern while she is milking. [6]
Vox’s Take: You should know that a newspaper reporter admitted to making up the story of Mrs. O’Leary’s cow starting the Chicago fire. Even though the story was debunked almost immediately, it has survived all these years – some sources still casually cite the actions of this supposed bovine arsonist as fact.
The newspaper article quoted above conveyed better than I could the horrific situations these people experienced.

"Raise Your Glass" is her ode to underdogs everywhere (as well as marriage equality). The new single, off her upcoming greatest hits collection, also happens to be a catchy party-starter. Favorite part? It comes in at 2:05.
Back to the Future's doing it. So are The Goonies. And Growing Pains just celebrated a similar milestone: 25 years.
It appears that 1985 was a pretty great year. Among that year's other notable occurrences: The Golden Girls debuted on NBC, "We Are the World" dominated the pop charts, and yours truly entered kindergarten at Blessed Sacrament Elementary on Maple Avenue in New Rochelle, New York. 25 years ago I -- armed with a backpack, a plaid sweater vest and a hideous Dutch boy bowl cut -- began my full-time academic career at this private school which was located just a block away from the home my parents purchased one year later so that I could have a short and safe commute every day.
My teacher, Miss Sullivan, was a perky-yet-tough brunette with a bob (and stature) that may have caused parents to confuse her with Olympic sweetheart Mary Lou Retton. She drove a navy blue Honda Civic CRX that she would park next to the hopscotch grid that was painted outside the side …

The Key of the Mysteries
The Mysteries of Nature
It is the word which creates forms; and forms in their turn react upon the word, in order to modify it and complete it.
Every word of truth is a beginning of an act of justice.
One asks if man may sometimes be necessarily driven to evil. Yes, when his judgment is false, and consequently his word unjust.
But one is responsible for a false judgment as for a bad action.
What falsifies the judgment is selfishness and its unjust vanities.
The unjust word, unable to realize itself by creation, realizes itself by destruction. It must either slay or be slain.
If it were able to remain without action, it would be the greatest of all disorders, an abiding blasphemy against truth.
Such is that idle word of which Christ has said that one will give account at the Day of Judgment. A jesting word, a comicality which recreates and causes laughter, is not an idle word.
The beauty of the word is a splendour of truth. A true word in always beautiful, a beautiful word is always true.
For this reason works of art are always holy when they are beautiful.
What does it matter to me that Anacreon should sing of Bathyllus, if in his verse I hear the notes of that divine harmony which is the eternal hymn of beauty? Poetry is pure as the Sun: it spreads its veil of light over the errors of humanity. Woe to him who would lift the veil in order to perceive things ugly!
The Council of Trent decided that it was permissible for wise and prudent persons to read the books of the ancients, even those which were obscene, on account of the beauty of the form. A statue of Nero or of Heliogabalus made like a masterpiece of Phidias, would it not be an absolutely beautiful and absolutely good work? — and would not he deserve the execration of the whole world who would propose to break it because it was the representation of a monster?
Scandalous statues are those which are badly sculptured, and the Venus of Milo would be desecrated if one placed her beside some of the Virgins which they dare to exhibit in certain churches.
One realizes evil in books of morality ill-written far more than in the poetry of Catullus or the ingenious Allegories of Apuleius.
There are no bad books, except those which are badly conceived and badly executed.
Every word of beauty is a word of truth. It is a light crystallized in speech.
But in order that the most brilliant light may be produced and made visible, a shadow is necessary; and the creative word, that it may become efficacious, needs contradictions. It must submit to the ordeal of negation, of sarcasm, and then to that more cruel yet, of indifference and forgetfulness. The Master said: "If a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
Affirmation and negation must, then, marry each other, and from their union will be born the practical truth, the real and progressive word. It is necessity which should constrain the workmen to choose for the corner-stone that which they had at first despised and rejected. Let contradiction, then, never discourage men of initiative! Earth is necessary for the ploughshare, and the earth resists because it is in labour. It defends itself like all virgins; it conceives and brings forth slowly like all mothers. You, then, who wish to sow a new plant in the field of intelligence, understand and respect the modesties and reluctances of limited experience and slow-moving reason.
When a new word comes into the world, it needs swaddling clothes and bandages; genius brought it forth, but it is for experience to nourish it. Do not fear that it will die of neglect! Oblivion is for it a favourable time of rest, and contradictions help it to grow. When a sun bursts forth in space it creates worlds or attracts them to itself. A single spark of fixed light promises a universe to space.
All magic is in a word, and that word pronounced qabalistically is stronger than all the powers of Heaven, Earth and Hell. With the name of Jod hé vau hé, one commands Nature: kingdoms are conquered in the name of Adonai, and the occult forces which compose the empire of Hermes are one and all obedient to him who knows how to pronounce duly the incommunicable name of Agla.
In order to pronounce duly the great words of the Qabalah, one must pronounce them with a complete intelligence, with a will that nothing checks, an activity that nothing daunts. In magic, to have said is to have done; the word begins with letters, it ends with acts. One does not really will a thing unless one wills it with all one's heart, to the point of breaking for it one's dearest affections; and with all one's forces, to the point of risking one's health, one's fortune, and one's life.
It is by absolute devotion that faith proves itself and constitutes itself. But the man armed with such a faith will be able to move mountains.
The most fatal enemy of our souls is idleness. Inertia intoxicates us and sends us to sleep; but the sleep of inertia is corruption and death. The faculties of the human soul are like the waves of the ocean. To keep them sweet, they need the salt and bitterness of tears: they need the whirlwinds of Heaven: they need to be shaken by the storm.
When, instead of marching upon the path of progress, we wish to have ourselves carried, we are sleeping in the arms of death. It is to us that it is spoken, as to the paralytic man in the Gospel, "Take up thy bed and walk!" It is for us to carry death away, to plunge it into life.
Consider the magnificent and terrible metaphor of St. John; Hell is a sleeping fire. It is a life without activity and without progress; it is sulphur in stagnation: stagnum ignis et sulphuris.
The sleeping life is like the idle word, and it is of that that men will have to give an account in the Day of Judgment.
Intelligence speaks, and matter stirs. It will not rest until it has taken the form given to it by the word. Behold the Christian word, how for these nineteen centuries it has put the world to work! What battles of giants! How many errors set forth and rebutted! How much deceived and irritated Christianity lies at the bottom of Protestantism, from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth! Human egotism, in despair at its defeats, has whipped up all its stupidities in turn. They have re-clothed the Saviour of the world with every rag and with every mocking purple. After Jesus the Inquisitor they have invented the sans-culotte Jesus! Measure if you can all the tears and all the blood that have flowed; calculate audaciously all that will yet be shed before the arrival of the Messianic reign of the Man-God who shall submit at once all passions to powers and all powers to justice. Thy kingdom come! For nigh on nineteen hundred years, over the whole surface of the earth, this has been the cry of seven hundred million throats, and the Israelites yet await the Messiah! He said that he would come, and come he will. He came to die, and he has promised to return to live.
Heaven is the Harmony of Generous Sentiments.
Hell is the Conflict of Cowardly Instincts.
The lyre of Orpheus civilized savage Greece, and the lyre of Amphion built Thebes the Mysterious, because harmony is truth. The whole of Nature is harmony. But the Gospel is not a lyre: it is the book of the eternal principles which should and will regulate all the lyres and all the living harmonies of the universe.
While the world does not understand these three words: Truth, Reason, Justice, and these: Duty, Hierarchy, Society, the revolutionary motto, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will be nothing but a threefold lie.

Employers' New Social Role
A year after sparking exploratory labour reforms in this country, the conservative government has shown unmistakably that it is committed to overhauling established labour practice. In an advancing series of steps, it has begun to unravel the constrictive labour regime that has been partly responsible for low investment, both domestic and from abroad.
The reforms began tentatively in May last year with a pilot voluntary redundancy scheme at OTE for up to 6,000 employees. Another pilot scheme in June consolidated banks' social insurance funds, and reduced the generosity of benefits.
Both those pilot projects have now been advanced. The banking sector, part-publicly owned, has cast off its pentagenarian obligation to negotiate industry-wide wage deals. OTE is preparing to renegotiate its general work rules with its union. The biggest issues at stake include removing restrictions on hiring and firing, and understandably so. OTE CEO Panagis Vourloumis told this newspaper that he is hamstrung by an inability to hire managers and executives from the market place. Only entry-level hiring is possible, and all promotion must be from within. It is highly doubtful whether the most visionary talent scout can possibly predict who will make a good manager or executive thirty years down the road.
Salary policy is also circumscribed at the telco, with raises fixed to seniority rather than merit. That removes one of the most basic levers at management's disposal to promote productivity or punish uselessness.
The reforms are politically brave, and they increasingly seem to be part of a concerted development policy that has included an entrepreneurship incentive law, a tax cut for corporations (now to be followed by a tax cut for individuals) and a law ending lifelong tenure at all listed public companies.
A Competitiveness Report presented by the development and finance ministries last May now sounds prescient: "There is room for substantial increase in versatility" in labour conditions., it said on page 53.
In rolling out these reforms, New Democracy has shown stealth, patience and a reasonable balance of determination and open-mindedness. Their clear message is that the publicly-minded 'social role' touted by state-controlled companies is at an end, and the logic of the private sector is winning ground. Even a government can no longer afford to preserve unproductive employees.
Over the long term, the success of the reforms will be judged primarily by whether they have reduced unemployment; but also by whether they have made the growing ranks of the employed happy.
Employee happiness is now the question at stake as the chairman of the Federation of Greek Industries, Odysseas Kyriakopoulos, has upped the ante in refusing to negotiate a national wage agreement this year, and, more recently, in declaring that below-inflation salary increases are adequate.
Again, the government's Competitiveness Report seems to have warned that reformist policy would move in this direction. On page 6 it said, "Salary policy, which the public sector often sets the tone for, has often been expansive. All the indications are that public sector productivity has shown no improvement. Salary increases under these circumstances may be obligatory for social reasons, strengthen demand and help raise GDP, but they adversely effect competitiveness. In general, Greek salaries are rising faster than in the EU25..."
Kyriakopoulos, too, favourably compares the rate of salary increase in Greece with EU countries of similar inflation.
In the new labour arena, unions and their stiff rule books are being forced back and employees, unionised and non, are being brought closer to the humanity and judgement of their employers. In a sense this is fairer to both sides, because employers should have the flexibility to deliver the benefits they can afford, but also to obligation to share information with their staff when they cannot. As we set sail for the open seas of flexible labour, employers should remember that their new freedom can also damn them. Company reputations will now be built partly on the basis of good labour practices, including salaries and benefits. In terms of social responsibility, Greek firms are seriously behind. Few have facilities that help their staff be more productive such as day-care centres and gyms. Few offer auxiliary retirement schemes with matching company funds. For the majority of employers, acquiring freedom is going to prove much easier than disposing of it well.
The open seas also make it more important that there be some benchmark rules, such as a national minimum wage and an absolute ceiling of weekly work hours. If industry is going to rely on governments to provide physical infrastructure, defence, social stability and social security, it can concede on an absolute foundation that helps governments do their job.

They Got Me Over A Barrel
The Great British Pubco Scam. Pubs are closing all over Britain yet pubs are places that most people love and think fondly of as some of the most significant, treasured, iconic parts of our culture, places to be cherished, nurtured and looked after. Yet they're closing everywhere... WHY? It doesn't make sense does it? Read on... A bit about me. And a bit about them. And some photographs...
TIED PUBCO REFORM; A TIMELINE FOR DUMMIES 2004 - 2019 = 0
The #GreatBritishPubcoScam I've not been keeping this blog responsibly for a couple of years now. Partly through life events and partly because the pub sector, my main interest in life, is so mired in appalling practice, so bent, so corrupt, so much a microcosm of everything that's manifestly unsustainable when unfettered private equity greed gets to run the show like bullies in an unsupervised playground I've not known where to start anymore, I've been trying to expose this scandal for more than a decade now, and though not alone in this task of cleaning the Augean Stables, there are many other licensees tirelessly grafting away delivering evidence of bullying, corruption, deception, gaming the Pubs Code and rife skulduggery in the tied pub sector to Government the fact is that nothing has changed and rubbing against the immutable powerful pub sector status quo is supposed to wear people out. And it does. Nothing changes. Thousands of pubs close. People give up all hope of positive change for pubs.
This post was prompted by news that Paul Newby, the Pubs Code Adjudicator, will leave the post at the end of his four year contract; Job Done. Got me thinking about where we are at with pubs. It's not good. It's really bad.
The Pubcos are packing their bags. Newby, Pubs Code Adjudicator, has given them the space they needed to keep on damaging Britain, get out on their terms, without taking a hit. Now Vulture Capital owns the Pubco roosts and it's OUR pubs that are their carrion.
For my friends who are customers of, rather than people who work in and around our unique British institution that is the world's original social network, the humble Pub...
If I can attempt a distillation of what's been happening in to YOUR PUBS over the last 30 years, to explain why they've been closing absolutely everywhere in spite of the FACT that the majority of people in Great Britain would LOVE to have a great LOCAL PUB in their neighbourhood, but don't because of the #GreatBritishPubcoScam
The Beer Orders
In 1989 Thatcher's government brought about the Beer Orders to end cartel and monopoly behaviour in the beer and pub sector with a few giga breweries ruining the country's pub experience with the intention of making a pub sector that was open to competition at every level so that WE, pub going consumers, would get a better range of beers in our local pubs and a freer market that would see pubs develop, evolve, innovate and be naturally more responsive to customer demand and so better serve the public.
This led to the huge brewery owned pub estates being broken up and the pubs being owned by pub companies which emerged to operate and preserve the national pub estate and make it more entrepreneurial and exciting for the benefit of future generations. 😉
Before long these new 'PubCos' owned most of OUR pubs and quickly got into manipulating the market for their own financial advantage by leasing the pubs to individuals who'd take on all responsibilty for every aspect of 'their' pubs maintenance and upkeep, in perpetuity, through fully repairing and insuring tied leases with the pubco obliging them to buy beer at prices set by the pubco... a practice known affectionately as 'the traditional age old beer tie' that has worked for generations to keep pubs alive (they forgot the need for the Beer Orders of course). The pubcos had invented a guaranteed ever growing double income stream for their business plan projections: Tied rents would always go up, without the pubcos having to pay for maintenance of the national pub estate, and the tied supply prices would increase every year ahead of inflation and the publicans would absorb ALL of the increases by making their pubs busier and putting their prices up - none of that was the pubcos business. The pubcos business was only to make money; the maximum return possible for the minimum outlay they could get away with it: the Lessees would do all the investment and pay all the bills for the whole sector.
Pubco profiteering through outrageously aggressive rent increases and their wholesale beer prices to tenants rising well over inflation and brewery gate price - within a decade the pubcos were geared up to asset strip Britain's heritage, traditions and Sense of Place by subterfuge in plain sight: Thousands of individual pub businesses would fail under financial pressure of the pubco prices but while publicans went down the pan all over the show, their pubs were left standing ready for another lessee to come along and make a go of investing in their own business - to be screwed down by the pubco, go out of business and free up the pub for another mugging by the pubco (pubcos call this 'lessee churn'). When a pub has had ten lessees fail in succession it's not had any work done to it for a decade or more, there's been no development, evolution or innovation whatsoever. Just a lick of paint here, a new picture there, a bit of gaffer tape on the carpets and seats where they're worn out. The pubs end up run down, smelly, unfit for purpose and people stop going to The Pub - everywhere - because people won't frequently socialise in run down asset stripped stinking shit-holes; Quite rightly too. Eventually the pubs are so run down no prospective lessee is insane enough to take it on, and customers have long forgotten what it was like when it was a well looked after, brilliant place to hang out in.
The pubcos say 'a series of entrepreneurial professional publicans have not been able to prove the pub's viability, sometimes we have to acknowledge habits have changed and the customers just aren't there anymore. Sadly we have to make a difficult business decision to sell pubs when they are no longer economically sustainable'; For alternative use. TO cash in on alternative asset value and use the income to pay interest on the loans the pubco raised to buy the pubs in the first place. 😎 Nice job. Blame the customer for closing their pubs.
This process has been happening to the majority of OUR pubs, the tied pub estate, for thirty years. The pubs have been asset stripped in front of us. The pubcos have failed in everything except making money out of failure: They created a rapidly shrinking national pub estate locked in a chronic downward spiral of multiple small business failure while the Big Business has become a parasite surviving on the mass sell off of Britain's most cherished, irreplaceable, precious and worldwide unique social assets, for alternative use, forever.
Basically British Pub Culture - OUR invaluable national social heritage - has been wilfully attacked by greedy tanned wealthy wine swilling mohair suit wearing white collar cultural criminals calling themselves Executives of 'Pub Companies' rather than feeders of vultures.
This behaviour has been known and recognised officially since 2004 when the Select Committee looking at the relationship between pubcos and their lessees told them to shape up or be prepared to ship out. It's 2019 now and nothing substantial has happened in all this time.
Other than a thousand plus pubs closing forever, every year like clockwork leaving communities all over the UK with nowhere to socialise and do all the life things we used to do down the pub as cultural events - birth, birthdays, engagements, weddings, funerals, cradle to grave. Most of that doesn't happen down the pub anymore - because they've been closed down by bad business.
It is an absolute scandal and the pubcos just keep on getting away with it.
Below is British Tied Pubco Reform, A Timeline for Dummies which I put together in 2016. To try and get across just how little had happened in 12 years of reform of the tied pub sector. Ie a sum total of ZERO...
... I put it together and pushed it around before the Pubs Code, which was supposed to change all of that above and help SAVE pubs, came into effect. Before the pubcos put a placeman in the Adjudicator's seat to make sure they could pack their bags and get out of the sector on their own terms without so much as a ruffled sleeve of a mohair suit. It needs updating. Since I did that the situation has only got worse for pubs... I knew in 2016 that I would probably be writing something like this in a few years after the Pubs Code was implemented; Because I had no doubt by then - now - that nothing would happen except the same. We the public would be hoodwinked, led along a path to nowhere.
The Pubs Code adjudicator, Paul Newby, today announced he'll be leaving at the end of his 4 year contract. He's done his job. All the main pubcos have been carved up and new venture capital is coming into the pub sector to finish off the end of the British Pub. The paragraph below is taken from the Government website 'An announcement from Paul Newby, the £130K a year Pubs Code Adjudicator. The highlighted bit is all you need know is total, palpable, measurable, horse shit. I'm looking forward to reading what the Beer Writers think is happening in the pub sector now cos they're going to butter it all up as they always do.
We all LOVE a great pub. We all want a great, well run pub in our neighbourhood. WHY don't we have them? That isn't a market that's working properly. It's the #GreatBritishPubcoScam WE deserve better. We deserve to have attractive, fantastic, friendly, welcoming home from home pubs nearby where we can share our lives and loves...
See the video on this link. It was made in 2012 and, I swear, it could have been made in 2019 without changing a word
It is absolutely disgraceful that nothing has changed. THOUSANDS of lessees have been put out of business and the communities they served been robbed of THEIR pubs.
Don't get me started on the Climate Crisis. Deniers everywhere. Sound familiar? We're living in Emperors new clothes.

The #FoodChain programme
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3csyp0m
posted elsewhere here by Paul Swan York is very interesting. Really GOOD in fact. The thoughts from the publicans are bang on the nail. They know why they are there and why they're doing it and what they want to achieve. A lot of it about preserving the culture of proper pub as an institution.
The quality of Emily Thomas reporting is always high - I get the impression her agenda is to open as much up as possible to her audience whatever subject she's covering. Rarely does such a well put together thoughtful piece get on air.
When taking my above article in stride it's worth looking at the phenomenon of pubs being churned by pubcos and the never ending stream of new tenants coming into the market to keep the light on in the pubs, no matter how many times they've failed until the point at which everything in the pub is so worn out it can never work again as a business unless it's comprehensively gutted and refurbished from the ground up - literally - services, gas, electric, water, drainage, insulation, heating, cooling, roof, rainwater goods everything always needs to be replaced in these Great British Pubs that haven't had a responsible maintenance and improvements applied to them for at least the last 50 years.
When I took on My pub in Camberwell in 1995 half of it was still using wiring that had been put in before WW2 and lead pipe water main. ALl the pubs in the area suffered the same neglect. When new lessees come in they make the surfaces look good - redecoration - but by and large there's nowhere enough money or time to do what really should be done to the building to keep it up to standards and fit for purpose.
When pubcos 'invest in our pubs' as they like to trumpet - they put the rent up. And when a 'comprehensive refurbishment' is done it's never attended to properly. The guts aren't ripped out, just the ends of the runs that are on view are tarted up. Even when a boiler is replaced the whole property isn't looked at with the most efficient outcome in mind - because efficiency is only needed by the leaseholder and they are the last people to be consulted in the process. Generally because they aren't around until after the pub has been 'revamped'.
It is a sorry process of irresponsible neglect.
The 'young' people taking part in Emily Thomas's Food Chain, when she asked 'What about the money' none of them were able to say anything more positive than 'live in accommodation' - this in London where a one bed flat is £1,200 a month.
The only pub that was recognisably NOT tied or part of the pubco hegemony was the Leyton Star where Liam Holyoak Rackal was the publican. That's part of the Electric Star http://electricstarpubs.co.uk/ group. Owned by a successful music / rave promoter I know very little about but who seems to have the right ideas and adequate funding.
The others, Laura Fields about to open the Holly Tree, in an adjacent borough from the Approach Tavern which I presume is Bermondsey Pub Company or similar (It's Remarkable Group http://remarkablepubs.co.uk/ James Watson knows the boss I believe) and Elliot Dickinson at the Albert Arms in Esher is Fuller's and I assume, a managed outlet where the workers are paid by the head office of the now non brewing freeholder.
All in all a very interesting programme - reading between the lines showing how difficult it is to make a go in the pub market when you've got everything going for you. Even when young, ambitious, enthusiastic and skilled with a vision for hospitality - it's a grind. They're all working to pay the rent...
It all needs a serious shake up.

I’m one of the Pub Persuaders, one of the Pub Professionals, one of the People who knows what’s going on – in PUBS that is - and this blog is about pubs, why they are so important to people and why they must be preserved, reinvigorated, enhanced and remade fit for purpose for the 21st century and beyond and how they must be made sustainable so that future generations can enjoy and learn from the rich seams of knowledge that can be found on everyone’s doorstep in every humble pub – until it’s closed forever – until it’s too late and people say ‘what happened to our pub? We really NEEDED that pub!’ I’m a publican, parent and photographer with a lot of food and drink experience in some of the busiest restaurants and clubs in Britain. Since long before 2008 (when I co-founded the Fair Pint Campaign) I’ve been a pro pubs, people and places person at the forefront of the national conversation about why pubs are closing… everywhere. I love good pubs, my kids love good pubs, all my friends love good pubs – everyone loves good pubs and I’m determined to make sure good pubs remain part of everybody’s experience - of growing up in the UK and of visiting this country.

Hyatt and Hilton are taking different branding approaches inside China
Global hotel chains are going beyond kettles and congee to warm the hearts of Chinese domestic travelers, a market worth a reported $734 billion (RMB5.05 trillion) last year.
A key question remains whether it is better to launch a dedicated brand in China, or adapt a chain’s existing brands to the local market, which is expected to bloat even more as a government policy to boost domestic consumption continues.
Hyatt Hotels and Hilton are examples of two global chains with differing approaches to the same end point of snaring a bigger share of Chinese domestic travelers, whose preferences are continually evolving.
Despite having 19 brands globally, and a track record of 50 years in China with 74 operating hotels and more than 100 hotels in the pipeline, Hyatt is seeding a new homegrown Chinese brand, UrCove (pronounced as “your cove”), in partnership with BTG Homeinns Hotels Group.
Stephen Ho, Hyatt’s president of greater China for global operations, said both Hyatt and HomeInns believe there is a need for a China brand as it is “unique,” born out of an “unprecedented” marriage of Hyatt’s international quality and the local insights of Homeinns, China’s largest hotel chain.
“Our partner made it clear in our earlier discussions that they don’t want to become another ‘surrogate mother’ to our brand, like other tie-ups between local and international operators. We share the same view that a new brand is the best option to penetrate this high growth segment effectively,” Ho told Skift.
Hyatt isn’t the first to launch a dedicated China brand; InterContinental Hotels Group was first with Hualuxe Hotels and Resorts in 2012.
But while Hualuxe targets upscale domestic travelers with a brand that is steeped in Chinese etiquette, culture, and heritage, UrCove homes in on young and rising middle-class leisure and frequent corporate travelers with hotels that offer good location, modern design, functionality, practical amenities, F&B excellence, and technology staples such as mobile experience, connectivity, and digital payment options.
Ho said this rising middle-class segment is “underserved.” In their private lives, the customers are “internationalized, independent, and tasteful” and would use premium hotels for personal stays. But on business trips, they usually have to settle for a compromised stay in midscale hotels due to limited corporate travel and entertainment budget.

« The Mike Hardy Saga, Part I: The Beginning
The Mike Hardy Saga, Part III: Insanity »
The Mike Hardy Saga, Part II: The Legacy
(note: read Part I if you haven’t already)
In beginning my romp through the magical land of software “created” by Michael J. Hardy, I will start with the first “product” by him I witnessed: Michael J. Hardy’s Doom Legacy. This was pointed out to me (and the Doomworld community at large) in this Doomworld forums thread. There is also a more dedicated thread about him at the NewDoom forums, which got its start by pointing out the same site in question.
So great, Mr. Hardy created his own 3D first person shooter video game. Or did he? Reports (I never downloaded it) say that the “game” uses a modified version of the jDoom source port, with Mr. Hardy’s name plastered almost everywhere possible. Doomsday (the engine jDoom is based on) is released under the GNU General Public License. However, the game data Mr. Hardy packaged with his version of the engine is not, and, by its nature, cannot be under the GPL.
“Mike Hardy’s Doom Legacy” uses game data from the Doom 64 TC. While the legality of the actual TC is somewhat questionable in and of itself, many people worked hard in porting Doom 64 for the Nintendo 64 to the PC. It is unlikely that Midway, who has distanced themselves from the title, would be concerned if it is released in a free form on the PC, as the amount of sales today of the real game for the Nintendo 64 are likely zero. However, the fact still remains that Mr. Hardy was using data that he did not have permission to use. In addition, he used id Software resources from the original Doom games as well, pushing his “creation” further into the realm of copyright infringement. To make things worse, Mr. Hardy charged $20 per copy of this “game.”
My next expedition into this matter will deal with more his exploits of the Doom series.

Eres programador independiente? Licencia tu trabajo :: Masio IT® ☺ Says:
[…] Cuando el autor original se enteró, se armó toda una telenovela. Entre otras cosas, decidió que cerraría (al menos en parte) el código para evitar futuros robos. El programador que copio el código es ya un viejo veterano en robo de código. Inclusive intento hacer pasar Doom como suyo. En su pagina (http://www.ultra-software.com/MyProducts.html, no añado link para no ayudarle :)) tiene otras joyitas de trabajos que intento hacer pasar por suyos. […]
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was this very Michael J Hardy that distributed a open source game called Super Angelo (a Mario game clone) as a shareware game. The original game has only 4 levels, but the seller promised more in exchange for (I think/guess) $20.

Chalabi and the Zionists
Suddenly, right out of the blue, after months of being the golden boy of the Pentagon and the neocons to lead Iraq, the disgusting American press is reporting that Chalabi is now out of favor and has in fact been suspected of passing on sensitive information to the Iranians. We're hearing about what a crook he really is, and how he knew about the bombing of the Jordanian embassy in advance but gave no warning. What a rotter! What happened to change his fortunes so quickly? We all know that the disgusting American press only reports what they are told to report, so why the sudden interest in dissing Mr. Chalabi? From Newsweek (my emphasis - reading this whole article is like trying to decipher something out of Pravda in the 1970's: what the hell is a 'U.S. official familiar with information presented to policymakers'?):
"NEWSWEEK has learned that top Bush administration officials have been briefed on intelligence indicating that Chalabi and some of his top aides have supplied Iran with 'sensitive' information on the American occupation in Iraq. U.S. officials say that electronic intercepts of discussions between Iranian leaders indicate that Chalabi and his entourage told Iranian contacts about American political plans in Iraq. There are also indications that Chalabi has provided details of U.S. security operations. According to one U.S. government source, some of the information Chalabi turned over to Iran could 'get people killed.'"
Wow! By 'top Bush administration officials' they are of course referring to the neocons, who again are up to their old Office-of-Special-Plans tricks of using mangled intelligence for their own political purposes (although the Official Story is completely the opposite, that these stories are being planted by CIA and State Department officials who have always hated Chalabi and are trying to force Bush to get rid of him: see what I mean about Pravda?). And why are the neocons mad at Chalabi? L. Marc Zell, Feith's former law partner, and foaming-at-the-mouth Zionist, said:
"Ahmed Chalabi is a treacherous, spineless turncoat. He had one set of friends before he was in power, and now he's got another."
"He said he would end Iraq's boycott of trade with Israel, and would allow Israeli companies to do business there. He said [the new Iraqi government] would agree to rebuild the pipeline from Mosul [in the northern Iraqi oil fields] to Haifa [the Israeli port, and the location of a major refinery]."
Bingo! Chalabi is getting the traitor treatment from the disgusting American press because he is reneging on his promises to the neocons to sell out Iraq to the Zionists (the rest of the Salon article contains amazingly explicit references to Zionist plans for Iraq, writing which until recently would have been labeled 'anti-Semitic conspiracy theory'). The press treatment is a shot across the bow to make him toe the Israeli line. If he survives in power, or in fact isn't killed, watch for him to sell out Iraq to Zionist interests as quickly and thoroughly as possible (Ledeen and Frum are still supporting him, so we can be sure the ultra-Zionist fix is in). He sold what soul he had to the Devil, and the Devil is collecting. When will Americans finally wake up and see who hijacked their government?

Research Project to Evaluate the Drivers of Bird-Window Collisions in North America
Birds face many threats related to humans, including predation by petcats, and collisions with buildings, towers and automobiles. Experts estimate that the greatest source of mortality in human-dominated landscapes is bird-window collisions (BWCs). Sheet glass placed in the exterior walls of buildings represents an invisible barrier to bird flight, and collisions occur as birds attempt [...]

What I’m grandly and abstractly calling “works of art” are more concretely and prosaically books, songs, movies, plays, television series, environmental installations, paintings, operas and anything else that falls into the bin of consumer goods marked “Culture.” These goods are bought and sold, whether as physical objects, ephemeral real-time experiences or digital artifacts. Their making requires labor, capital and a market for distribution. The money might come from foundations, Kickstarter campaigns or retail sales or advertising revenue. The commerce between artist and public is brokered by the traditional culture industry (publishing houses, television networks, record labels and movie studios) and also by disruptive upstarts like Amazon, Netflix, Google and iTunes. But the whole system, from top to bottom, from the Metropolitan Opera House to the busker in the subway station below it, is inescapably part of the capitalist economy.

It’s a lie. Everybody’s dependent on somebody. Nobody gave birth to themselves. Everybody gets a language from somewhere else. And so the notion of self-made men, from Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln-even Frederick Douglass went around the country giving lectures on being self-made. It’s an American lie that anybody’s self-made.

Commercial use of drones is also largely prohibited in the United States, largely because of the perceived risks of unleashing swarms of them into the skies.

You only need to theorize the thing that you’re talking about.
When Noel Coward, whom Paepcke had met casually in the twenties, jocularly inquired of him in the year CCA’s corporate image took form, “What is a container and what does it contain?” Paepcke might have replied, “It is a box designed to be seen. It might contain nothing at all.”
— James Sloan Allen, The Romance of Commerce and Culture
Here is the irony of the twentieth-century relationship between commerce and culture. By so successfully allying their cultural aspirations with commercial techniques, artists and intellectuals helped unify modern culture, but at the risk of turning art and ideas into commodities, things so readily and casually consumed that they must lose much of their power to criticize life and to change it.
