__label__cc	0.599751	0.400249	CBOD reaction to ‘dirty fuel’ saga We have followed with keen interest, discussions over the recent publication on the sulphur content in diesel or gasoil by Public Eye, a Swiss based organisation. We do appreciate the research and advocacy work undertaken by Public Eye in heightening public interest in such a very important matter. While we do have some reservations about key factual misrepresentations in the report, we do accept the call for a major review of the country’s specifications and diesel supply trade. Media discussions and reports have sometimes been misleading. We therefore, wish to clarify some key issues and facts on the subject as well as share our position as a Chamber. A. Key Facts 1. The Ghana specification for sulphur in diesel stands at a maximum 3,000 parts per million (ppm). Hence the lower the sulphur content in PPM terms, the cleaner and better the fuel. BDC supplies to the market have been in the 2000s and 1000s and in some cases we have supplied 50ppm to the market. It is therefore untrue that BDC supplies have been substandard. In fact, we supply superior quality compared to the set standards and have in no way breached the laws of Ghana. 2. The National Petroleum Authority in conjunction with industry has led efforts towards the revision of standards to improve the quality of gasoil supplies. In 2010, the specifications were revised from 10,000ppm to 5,000ppm and under the current leadership of the NPA, standards have been revised to 3,000ppm since 2014. As a matter of fact, when BDCs commenced operations in 2007, standards still stood at 10,000ppm but BDCs operated at 5,000ppm. The NPA’s engagements with industry in 2013 and 2014 were aimed at a 1,000ppm standard but was constrained by logistical and regional (i.e. West Africa) considerations. In recent times, the NPA has spearheaded efforts with industry to revise the standards to 500ppm or better. It must, however, be noted that standards for fuel are set by the Ghana Standards Authority. 3. The competition among 35 BDCs and the standardisation of specifications do not create opportunities for any BDC to accrue extra profits from using the Ghana specification. It is therefore not the case that BDCs have sought to make ‘Extra’ profits at the expense of the health of consumers. B. Call for the Revision of Specifications We absolutely support the call for a revision of the sulphur specifications in diesel to 10ppm as is traded in Europe. We find it necessary for the quality of fuels to be improved to protect lives and promote the health of all including children and adults. C. Cost Implications of a 10ppm Specification 1. Adopting similar specifications with major players like Nigeria in the sub region, enables Ghana to share common logistical infrastructure (e.g. Large Supply Vessels) and leads to a cost advantage. This minimises our freight cost and enables the savings to be passed on to consumers through competition. This is the case for Ghana and makes policy makers concerned about the impact on price should this advantage be lost through the revision of specification outside what may be set by Nigeria. In line with this, industry including us as BDCs earlier indicated that a change in spec will lead to an increase in prices. 2. However, the CBOD has in conjunction with international traders been exploring trading modules that will ensure that a change in the specifications will not lead to an increase in ex-pump prices. After thorough analysis, we have concluded that aligning with the Euro Specification of 10ppm will enable Ghana to benefit from some economies of scale and savings from not blending (required for Ghana’s current spec) which will offset any increase in the logistical cost indicated in point 1 above. We are therefore confident that a move to the 10ppm will not lead to any material increase in price. We expect a Zero to 1% maximum change. 3. Point 2 above may not be achieved if the changes in standards vary from the European Specification of 10ppm and the Nigerian Specification at the same time. This is so because: a)The cost advantage aligning with Europe will be lost. b)There will also be no logistical saving enjoyed by sharing common logistics with Nigeria. In effect any change in spec that does not align with Nigeria or Europe is expected to lead to significant changes in prices. c)To benefit from point 2 above, there is a need for standards to be revised to reflect a 10ppm requirement. This will enable Ghana benefit from the cost advantage of having the whole country’s volumes aligning to the spec as against a few. In conclusion it is our recommendation that the standards be revised to 10ppm and a transition road map be developed by industry in conjunction with representative consumer groups and CSOs. We commend the NPA for the sub-regional leadership it has shown in improving the fuel quality not just for Ghana but West Africa as whole and urge it to remain resolute in its pursuits. — Signed — Senyo Hosi, CEO CBOD	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3222

__label__cc	0.573463	0.426537	Celebrities weight gain Shelley Long weight gain So, what are the reasons of Shelley Long weight gain? Although at the moment Shelley Long weight gain is not particularly significant, it is still pretty obvious. For those, who do not known a lot about this actress, she started her career in showbiz performing with a comedy troupe, entitled The Second City and went on to appear in such movies as The Cracker Factory, A Small Circle of Friends, Caveman and Night Shift. Long ascended to stardom in the early 1980s, as she was cast for what became one of the most popular situation comedies in America, Cheers. In these television series the actress played Diana Chamber, an on-and-off girlfriend of Sam Malone. The talks about Shelley Long weight gain have first started in the early 1990s. It would be a huge exaggeration to claim that back in the day the actress was fat; however, the changes in her body were quite noticeable. What was the reason behind Shelley Long weight gain? As strange as it sounds, it was probably happiness. In the early 1990s Shelley was a beloved wife and mother for two children: a stepson and a daughter. She met Bruce Tyson, a security broker who later became her second husband, in the late 1970s. Before that the actress was married to another man, but their marriage did not last long. In 1981 Long exchanged rings with Tyson and their one and only mutual daughter was born the same year. As a lot of women do, after settling in a comfortable relationship and becoming a mother Shelley has temporarily lost control of her calorie intake. Plus, as a young mother and an aspiring actress, she did not have much time to exercise. However, thanks to her fast metabolism her weight gain was not as significant as to call her fat. Long’s family idyll came to an end in the early 2000s, when Bruce, her beloved husband and father of her grown-up daughter, walked away from home. Their divorce was finalized in 2004. By this time, Long has been suffering from a deep depression. As if it was not enough that she has just lost her husband, the actress had to move out of the house in Los Angeles, where she’s spent the happiest years of her life. Devastated by the divorce, Shelley used to spend days locked up in her room, with her curtains closed and her telephone plugged off. She did not want to see her friends and family, who were worried to their stomachs, and refused to eat. Needless to say, during this period the woman has lost plenty of weight. Luckily, with a help of her daughter and other people, who did not lose the hope to get her back into life, she managed to beat the depression. Shelley Long weight gain was a sign of her recovery. what are your thoughts on Shelley Long weight gain story?

My research work involves documenting the design secrets and techniques of traditional Japanese boatbuilding, working directly with Japan's last wooden boatbuilders. I also research the boatbuilding traditions of the Lake Champlain Basin where I live. http://www.douglasbrooksboatbuilding.com COPYRIGHT © Douglas Brooks and douglasbrooksboatbuilding.com 2016. The Bottom, or Shiki After gluing and nailing the bottom together yesterday I beveled the edges and made preparations for bending over an open fire tomorrow. My teacher, Mr. Hiroshi Murakami, and his wife arrived today from Tohoku. The Museum had planned to invite them at some point in the project and Murakami agreed to come and help me bend the bottom plank, which we are doing as a workshop for 45 people. My batten bent to points describing the bottom. The batten is quite large by western standards. This is because Japanese boats are made of very thick material which therefore limits the amount of shape that can be achieved. It would be easy to draw a curve with a thin batten that the material could not match. As soon as he walked into the shop today, Mr. Murakami noticed I'd made my batten the same size as his. The shape of the hull is marked at bow and stern, and the three stations. I struck straight lines between each station point and Murakami has an offset to the curve from the middle of each of the straight lines, so in total there are seven points describing the curve including stem and transom. My joint forward, a compound angle that traps the plank when I bend down the bow. The bottom of this boat will actually drop considerably at the bow. Ordinarily a flat bottomed boat like this would tend to skid on the water, but by dropping the bow it behaves like a keel and improves tracking. I made thin battens to wet and nail to the bottom tomorrow before bending. They protect the seams from the flames. Beveling the edge forward for the flare of the planking. Cherry blossom season has come suddenly to Kobe. This park is normally very quiet but all day its been full of office workers, families, and friends partying under the blossoms. This group of inebriated men was heading home, all holding hands. In a country where couples rarely hold hands this is truly a sight. The sublime power of cherry blossoms! Catherine and I went for a walk in the hills behind Kobe. This is just ten minutes from our apartment. Kobe is a major city squeezed between the mountains and the sea. This views sweeps around the coast and includes Osaka. Basically the waterfront is an urban landscape as far as the eye can see. Japan's hills and mountains are precipitous. By the time we came back night was falling. The partying was still going strong, under floodlit cherry trees.

Since 1996 I have apprenticed with seven boatbuilders throughout Japan, building and documenting the designs and construction of over a dozen distinct types of Japanese boats. My research involves working directly with craftsmen in order to document their secrets and techniques. In my view this work is crucial, as Japan's last traditional boatbuilders leave little or no written record of their work and most have no apprentices. This work is chronicled in my latest book, Japanese Wooden Boatbuilding, published in 2015 by Floating World Editions. Signed and inscribed copies are available from my website.

__label__cc	0.620659	0.379341	The Evening Sun<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />BALTIMORE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1987 Trimmed-down ‘Messiah’ is being simulcast tonight By Scott Duncan Evening Sun Staff If you haven’t heard Handel’s “Messiah” this holiday season, you could do worse than tune in PBS at 8 p.m. tonight (Channels 22 and 67). Robert Shaw, in his last season as music director of the Atlanta Symphony, leads the orchestra, four fine soloists and a “chamber” choir of 60 voices in a trimmed-down telegenic “Messiah,” to be simulcast in this area on WBJC-FM (91.5). (The national telecast, produced by Georgia Public Television, is being carried by Maryland Public Television and repeated at 10 a.m. Christmas morning.) This one-hour “Messiah” includes only the Christmas portion of the oratorio, with the famed “Hallelujah” chorus tacked on at the end. Taped in Atlanta last Sunday, the program is directed by Phillip Byrd, who in a few days will direct the Baltimore Symphony segment of MPT’s upcoming live New Year’s Eve gala telecast from Ethel’s Place and Meyerhoff Hall. MPT has worked with Byrd before, most notably in the Emmy-winning “Wolf Trap Presents The Kirov: Swan Lake,” which, incidentally, encores at 9 p.m. Christmas night on PBS’s Great Performances series. And indeed, the strengths of this new televised “Messiah” are Byrd’s fluent camera technique, his economy (all ego-serving applause and curtain calls are cut out) and his judicious and expressive use of close-ups. Shaw’s four soloists – soprano Sylvia McNair, mezzo-soprano Marietta Simpson, tenor Jon Humphrey and baritone William Stone – are young, attractive and well-suited to singing under the unflattering probe of the zoom lens. McNair especially, who dazzled BSO subscribers this fall in an all-Berlioz program, provides some enchanting moments. McNair has a soprano voice of stunning beauty and purity, and in her aria, “Rejoice,” her tone production remained flawless without altering her angelic persona. In the best oratorical tradition, McNair didn’t just sing the aria, she projected it. And Byrd was right there to exploit all its visual radiance. This is an example of what television can contribute to great music. Marietta Simpson, while a singer without the seamless technique of McNair, had the same high sense of concentration and was vocally effective in her arias, as was baritone William Stone (who will sing the Brahms Requiem with Shaw and the BSO in February) Shaw, of course, is one of the great choral conductors of this century, and though the Atlanta chamber Chorus is composed of volunteers, there was the usual Shaw clarity of line and expressive sense of proportion. “For Unto Us” had a tenuous delicacy and innocence. Shaw chose to present a scaled-down “Messiah,” and the modest orchestral and choral forces lend themselves well to television. Much better than the uncharted ocean of performers viewers often confront on larger Christmas music spectacles. Hewing to this historical line as it does, Shaw’s “Messiah” nevertheless seems made-for-TV. Less traditional was Shaw’s avoidance of the double-dotted rhythms scholars attribute to 18th century performance practices and to which most modern Handel performers subscribe.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3251

Typically glossy black but may also be dark brown to light brown. Related widow spiders may be brown. The black widow spider is widely feared because its bite results in severe pain that may take several days to subside. Such bites are rarely fatal but small children and elderly persons are at risk. Black widow spiders construct irregular, scaffold-type webs usually near the ground level. These webs are almost always constructed in a protected site such as among items piled together, beneath boards, in firewood, and between boxes. Newly hatched spiderlings climb to high points, release a strand of webbing and are propelled by "ballooning" to new locations. For this reason, buildings may have new spiderlings float to it on a regular basis. Most of these do not survive. Black widows eat any insect they can capture. It is not true that the female always consumes her mate after mating, but it does frequently occur. Black widows are classified as dangerous spiders because their bite can cause severe cramping and pain throughout the body. Very young children, the elderly, and very ill persons are most at risk for severe reactions to the bite of this spider.

__label__wiki	0.545406	0.545406	An Instance of Desperate Defamation In the intemperate pages of CounterPunch, (“America’s best political newsletter”, according to Out of Bounds magazine, but “America’s least sane rant-rag”, according to me), Alexander Cockburn makes a strong case for the weakness of his character: Last year Brockes interviewed the black British poet, Benjamin Zephaniah after he refused an OBE. Towards the end of the piece, Brockes asked Zephaniah about what he was reading: “I ask him what he is reading at the moment. ‘Chomsky’, he says. ‘I am always reading Chomsky.’ “I tell him I find Chomsky hard work. ‘Really?’ he says. ‘Really? That’s cos you ain’t got a Birmingham accent.’ And he throws back his head and brays like a donkey.” This is a good illustration of a characteristic of many of these showcase interviews, where the interviewer sneaks in a kidney punch after the interview is over, when she’s safely back in the office. So the readers are left to warm their hands over the rancid and somehow racist snap of “brays like a donkey”. Alexander Cockburn, “Storm Over Brockes’ Fakery”, CounterPunch, 5th/6th November 2005. Quite how “brays like a donkey” is racist is unknown to me, but then perhaps it is unknown to Mr Cockburn, who has to rely on the phrase “somehow racist” just so that he can pin the tail on the donkey, as it were. Mr Cockburn (note the name) may consider that donkeys are stupid, bad-tempered and well equipped with wedding tackle. He may therefore have given himself away as a racist? Blimpish said... "Chomsky who featured in the poll as top intellectual... wrote back in good humor, ridiculing the idea of such lists and putting forward as candidates his granddaughter in Nicaragua, or his granddaughter's cat." Oh stop, please stop, I'm splitting my sides. Gawain Towler said... Have you ever heard Zephania laugh, I would call that a literalist description. Akaky said... Wouldnt donkey be more of an anti-Irish ethnic slur, as opposed to a racist epithet, in which case it would not really apply in this situation, or only apply in the larger sense that all interactions between whites and blacks are inherently racist and therefore an ethnic slur, as we have here, can really be understood, through the processes of textually close reading and deconstruction, be a substitute, or rather, a symbol, if you will, of the larger and more potent racial slur lying hidden in the subconscious subtext of this message...or am I just blowing smoke out of my ass?

__label__cc	0.598814	0.401186	Red Lights (2012) How much do you want to believe? Blurred lights streak this way and that with swipes of white and grey, the type fading in and out in a flash, growing larger and smaller, and then comes more: hands reaching in the darkness, the glimpse of a tunnel, and the sinister sounds of a violin being hastily plucked. A dark cellar full of secrets emerges through shocks of x-rays, weathered photographs, ancient texts, equations, and newspapers. As the music crescendos, the storm of letters and lights is swallowed by television static and the thunder of a jet flying into view, its red lights in focus. A discussion with JORGE CALVO, main title designer, about his recent work with Director Rodrigo Cortés. You worked with Rodrigo Cortés previously on his film Buried. What was the initial conversation like for Red Lights? I was really excited! You don't get to work on projects involving Robert De Niro or Sigourney Weaver everyday, you know? Rodrigo sent me the script and I loved it so I went to see him at the editing suite – he edits his own films – to talk about it. Basically, the film is about scientists who expose all kinds of frauds in the paranormal realm and he wanted the title sequence to dwell on that world, to show both sides. At what point in the film's production did you come in? By the time we sat down to talk about the titles, the production part was over and the editing had just begun. How did the visuals come about? Did you sketch or make storyboards? No, there was a lot of open experimentation. I knew I didn’t want something pretty and colorful. It was a “I’ll know what I want when I see it” kind of thing, so I started out by keeping all my options open. Did you always know you needed to segue into the airplane scene or was that something that evolved later? Oh, from the very beginning Rodrigo knew exactly when the sequence was going to start and finish, so I knew what I needed to structure the titles around. And did you already have the music or did that come after? I always work with the music first – it’s such an important part of the visual experience! If I don’t have music, I’ll make something up! And that’s exactly what I did this time. Víctor Reyes (the composer) was swamped, so Rodrigo and I decided to build a skeleton for the music and Rodrigo would write the music over that base. Trying to get it perfect wasn’t easy and we went back and forth a lot – nothing was quite right. So we went with what worked best, although it was not quite there yet, and got on with the visuals. By the time the sequence was almost done, Víctor tackled it and did something totally different. I was blown away when I first saw it with the visuals! I had worked for two or three months with one piece of music as the background and watching the visuals with music so different was really strange! In the beginning I wasn’t crazy about it, but it quickly grew on me and now I think it was the right choice. Color tests, with original music track What were some of your influences? Were there some sequences you'd seen that sparked an idea? There were a few things I had in mind, though it ended up looking nothing like them. I thought of Se7en as far as that idea of getting into somebody’s mind through what they do... only this wouldn’t be one person, but many (with some elements in common). I’ve always been struck by the elegance and apparent simplicity of the title sequence to Tetro and explored that for a while. I guess playing with that is how I ended up doing it in black and white. I also liked the titles for 30 Days of Night as far as the treatment of abandoned pictures and the way that they become an object in themselves without the sense of belonging and context about the subject. Like those old pictures you find at flea markets or secondhand shops – you don’t recognize who or what’s in them but they can strike a chord just the same. Can you talk about the typography a bit? That’s Futura, right? Yep! That’s Futura, alright... with slight twists here and there! It’s funny, but the type was inspired by Tetro even though that sequence uses a serif font. I tried out a serif but just didn’t like it. Once I placed Futura over some of the dark backgrounds and light-like effects, it just worked – it was love at first sight. How did you assemble the images and scenes you wanted to incorporate? Did you have to shoot some specifically and find stock for others? Our two prior projects (Concursante and Buried) were very conceptual, very graphic-oriented, Saul Bass-y projects, but this time Rodrigo wanted something more figurative – something to reflect the nature of the phenomena in the film. I did a lot of research and ended up shooting re-enactments that would be heavily treated – a base for the text and other elements. We shot “classics” like the Roswell alien surgery, newspaper articles, Russian experiments from the beginning of the 20th century... hours of all kinds of stuff! Footage tests, with original music track What tools did you use to put it all together? The footage was shot with different cameras, moving and still – Mini DVs and DSLRs mostly. Later it was all put together with After Effects and lots of Photoshop to make mock-ups of newspapers, photographs, etc. Plus, a few light effects from Maya and Cinema 4D. How long did the project take, from concept to execution? The other projects with Rodrigo were very straightforward from the start in that I knew what I wanted and we were totally in sync. But for this one we wandered around a lot until we found our way. It took over four months, I think. Finally, looking back at what you created for Red Lights, do you think your methods have changed since Buried, your previous collaboration? Yes, this time we started with a very different approach by experimenting a lot and incorporating all the footage and everything. I was enjoying it a lot and finding interesting things outside of my normal comfort zone. It was Rodrigo who kept pulling us back to the more conceptual graphic stuff! It reminds me of that quote from The Godfather III: “Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in.” Title Designer: Jorge Calvo Production Studio: Royalcow Tetro Jorge Calvo animation, experimental, graphic, illustration, live action, main title, montage, typographic Nostromo Pictures, Millennium Entertainment Ian Albinson	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3272
__label__wiki	0.770673	0.770673	Dealipedia - Capita Plc acquires Expotel Capita Plc acquires Expotel for $25.4 million Acquiring Company: Capita Plc View Profile Charts Homepage Target Company: Expotel View Profile Charts Homepage Price: $25.4 million Announced: Aug 31, 2012 IT services company Capita has purchased business travel company Expotel for £16m to "add reach and scale" to Capita's existing operations in the business travel market. The deal, which is on a cash-free, debt-free basis, will also offer additional events and meetings management capabilities, Paul Pindar, chief executive of Capita, said in a statement. Headquartered in Stockport, Expotel is a UK hotel, business travel and conference booking agent that generated £16.3m in revenue in the year to 31 October 2011, and counts the likes of National Grid, Virgin Media, the Scottish government and BP among its customers. Expotel offers services through its recently re-launched self-booking portal that allows customers to receive discounted rates on over 100,000 hotels. The tool can be integrated with travel procurement systems such as Marakesh or be provided through an intranet portal. The firm also develops individual portals and provides customised management information. Another recently launched offering is the Expotel Trade online procurement platform, which its partners use to get access to over 70,000 hotels and venues to help them to reduce costs. Pindar said that the combined company would employ nearly 900 staff in 10 locations, and a company spokesperson told Computing that it had no plans to recruit further staff as a result of the acquisition.

The Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) says no Cinderella-branded rice has been shipped to Jamaica for the year and is surprised by reports that 70 metric tonnes of the Guyanese grain have been seized by authorities on that Caribbean island. GRDB Deputy General Manager, Allison Peters said rice shipments directly from Guyana to Jamaica usually take about seven to 10 days, and there is no record of white Cinderella rice leaving Guyana after December 2018. “They haven’t shipped for the year,” she told Demerara Waves Online News, adding that she has written the Jamaican authorities “to investigate what is happening”. “Nobody has informed us of anything and we have just seen this thing in the news,” Peters added. Peters expected the Jamaica Bureau of Standards to contact the GRDB because “we have a relationship” although there have been no major complaints of poor quality rice in recent times. Peters said officials at her semi-autonomous regulatory agency were “shocked” by news that the Food Storage and Prevention of Infestation Division (FSPID), in the Jamaica Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries (MICAF) confiscated 1,575 bags of rice due to high microbial content. “I have no information; just what I’m seeing in the news so they will have to give me details if they have found such a thing,” the GRDB Deputy General Manager added. The rice, valued at approximately $4.6 million, was allegedly imported from Guyana by a large Jamaican chain distributor, and was found to have signs of mould growth, clumping discolouration and wetting, and as a result was detained by a food storage inspector. The Division advised that a statutory detention notice was subsequently placed on the rice and samples collected were submitted to the FSPID’s Microbiology Laboratory for testing. The results revealed that the rice had microbial levels above the accepted limits and as such was deemed not suitable for human consumption and was condemned. The seizure is said to be the first for the year. However, the Jamaica Observer newspaper did not say when the rice was shipped or arrived on the island. The Division further advised that in keeping with the Food Storage and Prevention of Infestation (FSPI) Act (1958) and Regulations (1973), the rice was detained while arrangements were being made for disposal. The FSPID is a regulatory department with responsibility for ensuring the safety and wholesomeness of food entering commerce.

It's the "final" stop before the biggest event in the history of the World Wrestling Federation, featuring a Championship Tournament to declare an Undisputed WWF Champion. With so much going on, we're sure to hear about all the big happenings for the big event. - Hosts of Wrestling Challenge is the super-team of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. Monsoon wastes no time throwing out their his famous "you can cut it with a knife" to describe the excitement from the crowd. We're from the Viking Hall in Bristol, TN, for those that care enough. I'd like to note how seriously out-dated the clips in the opening of Challenge are. Seriously, everything seems to be pulled from 1985 or something, with the exception of a clip of Butch Reed from 1986. We've got a Live Interview with Hulk Hogan, plus Ravishing Rick Rude, a Wrestlemania IV Report, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Tag Team Champions Strike Force, and a lot more coming up in the next "hour". - Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake vs. Dave Wagner: The crowd seems to aprove of Beefcake. He's scheduled to face the Honkytonk Man at Wrestlemania IV, for the Intercontinental Championship. Lockups, and Beefcake can't over-power the scrub. Beefcake grabs a headlock, but a shoulder block doesn't do much. Beefcake comes off the ropes with a running high knee, then follows with some strutting. Inset promo from the Honkytonk Man and Jimmy Hart. Beefcake drives an elbow into the chubby face of his opponent, then follows it with a scoop slam. Beefcake with a snapmare and a rake of the eyes. Beefcake signals for the end, and the Sleeper Hold puts an end to this squash at 2:34. After the match, Beefcake does a little trimming on his hairy opponent. Then he takes a few inches off the beard for good measure. You'd think the hairy jobbers would stop signing up for matches against Beefcake, but it's Logic in Wrestling. - "Leaping" Lanny Poffo vs. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (w/ Bobby Heenan): Before the match, Poffo reads off one of his poems, and it's about Wrestlemania IV, of course. Monsoon is going it solo for this match, for the obvious reasons. I know I list Poffo first as if this weren't a squash, but trust me, it's a squash, and not a "feature" match. Rude gets on the house mic' next and does his usual routine. Lockup to start, and Rude works a headlock and armbar before sucker punching Poffo. Poffo comes back with blows to the midsection, but Rude no-sells, so Poffo punches him in the face. Irish whip is reversed, and Rude drives a knee to the midsection. Rude drops a series of elbows across the throat, then comes off the top with a fist drop. That's enough for a three count at... oh wait, he gets up to taunt the crowd, and now we get a Jake Roberts promo. He's got Rick Rude in the 1st Round of the Tournament, you know. Rude Awakening time, and NOW it's a three count at 1:36. That did it's job, I might say. - Mean Gene Okerlund is joined by the threesome of the British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) and Koko B. Ware. You might say fivesome, considering they all have mascots in the forms of Matilda the Bulldog and Frankie the Parrot. We get a montage next... of MATILDA. Matilda being held, Matilda being dognapped, Matilda being walked around the ring, Matilda fighting the Legion of Doom... okay, I made the last one up, and no, I didn't mean Hawk and Animal. - Gorilla Monsoon shills WWF Magazine, featuring an article on the heated feud between the Ultimate Warrior and the MIGHTY Hercules. Heated? - Strike Force (Tag Team Champions) vs. Barry Horowitz & Terry Gibbs: Oh no, it's GIRLS IN CARS! The most pussiest entrance music ever, that even the instrumental only version sounds kinda campy. Santana and Gibbs start with a lockup, and Santana gives a clean break. Santana with a wristlock, followed by a shoulder block and a roll up for a two count. Santana with an arm drag and armbar and now we've got an inset promo from Demolition and Mr. Fuji. Martel tags in and works the arm, as well. Irish whip is reversed, and Martel connects with a dropkick. Gibbs rakes the eyes and tags out to Horowitz. He gets a few shots in on Martel before being taken down with a hip toss. Martel with a wristlock, and Santana tags back in to continue working him over. Gibbs tags in again and rake sthe eyes, then snaps Santana over for a one count. Slugfest! Martel tags in again and he's a house of fire and takes Gibbs over with a hip toss. Irish whip, and Martel with a back drop AND A BEAUTY. Santana tags in and nails the Flying Forearm, and it's over at 2:44. This did it's job, too, I guess. - We're back with Mean Gene, and this time he's joined by the Islanders, Tama and Haku, and their manager/partner for Wrestlemania IV, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. I never cared much for the Islanders, but I definitely liked them better as heels than babyfaces. Still never cared for this feud, although, to be fair, I didn't watch when it originally happened, but even as a young mark a few years later, watching Wrestlemania IV, I didn't care. - "The Rock" Don Muraco (w/ Superstar Billy Graham) vs. Unnamed Scrub: Lockup to start, and Muraco takes his opponent over with a hip toss, followed by a knee lift. Muraco with another hip toss, followed by a throat thrust and a diving forearm. Inset promo from Dino Bravo and Frenchy Martin. Muraco with a belly to belly suplex for a two count, as Muraco gets up before the final count can be made. Muraco signals for the end, and the Spike Piledriver (later known as the Tombstone) is enough to put the scrub away at 1:45. - Greg "The Hammer" Valentine (w/ Jimmy Hart) vs. Brady Boone: We seriously just jump to the start of the match after the three count of the previous match was done. Boone's taste of glory ended pretty fast, after spending the winter paling around with freshly departed Billy Jack Haynes and Ken Patera in their battles with Demolition. Valentine is scheduled to be in the Tournament as well, you know. Lockup into the corner, and Valentine works him over with chops. Whip across the ring, and Valentine misses a charge. Boone backflips to the opposite end of the ring, and Monsoon chimes in "you can't win matches that way." Valentine with a knee to the chest, followed by a slam. Boone gets turned inside out with a clothesline, and we get an inset promo from the Dragon, Ricky Steamboat. Valentine with... spike piledriver? But he doesn't want the pin. Valentine drives a series of elbows into the skull of Boone, then takes him over with a suplex. Valentine tosses Boone out of the ring, as Heenan and Monsoon discuss who they think will walk away Champion at Wrestlemania, with Hogan and Andre being mentioned from the obvious suspects. Back in the ring, and Valentine sends Boone to the buckle. Whip across the ring is reversed, but Boone misses a... leap? Valentine heads to the top himself and comes off with an elbow to the back of the neck. Figure-Four time, and it's finally over at 3:20. Boone got NOTHING and Valentine looked pretty good. - Special Interview with Craig DeGeorge (Craig Minervini of the Florida Marlins FSN broadcasts), with none other than the FORMER WWF Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan. He cuts his usual generic promo about wanting to win his title back. Then he starts taking like his Wrestlemania IV promo, about the world coming to an end and Donald Trump clinging to his family for dear life while the oceans flood him, except he just talks about slamming his opponents into the Atlantic Ocean, instead. Seriously, that was the most nonsensical promo in WWF History. Until Wrestlemania VI, when Hogan and Warrior had dueling nonsensical ramblings. - Wrestlemania IV Report with Mean Gene Okerlund. It's Wrestlemania Weekend, and in less than 24-hours, it'll be the biggest spectacular of all-time! You can see it on a closed circuit location or at home on Pay-Per-View. The card is announced as followed... - WWF Championship Tournament. In Round 1, it's Jim Duggan vs. Ted Dibiase, the Rock Don Muraco vs. Dino Bravo, Ricky Steamboat vs. Greg Valentine, Randy Savage vs. Butch Reed, Bam Bam Bigelow vs. One Man Gang, and Jake Roberts vs. Rick Rude. Then in the 2nd Round, Hulk Hogan takes on Andre The Giant. The special presenter of the championship will be Robin Leach. The Honkytonk Man defends the Intercontinental Title against Brutus Beefcake Strike Force defends the Tag Team Titles against Demolition The British Bulldogs and Koko B. Ware, with the returning Matilda, take on the Islanders and Bobby Heenan. Ultimate Warrior takes on the MIGHTY Hercules Gladis Knight and the Pips will be performing Americal the Beautiful. Vanna White will be the special guest time keeper. We even get a promo from Vanna! "Who's Mr. Baseball?" Also, in a 20-Man Battle Royal will be, among others, George "The Animal" Steele, Bad News Brown (he threatens the BLACK plague), the Hart Foundation, the Young Stallions, the Rougeau Brothers, the Killer Bees (donning their masks), and the Outlaw Ron Bass. - "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. Brian Costello: We're coming to the end of the episode, and Jim Duggan, as mentioned above, will also be in the Tournament. Duggan no-sells a sneak attack from Costello, then plants him in the corner with a powerslam. It's like the weak-ass version of the Oklahoma Stampede. Duggan drops a knee across the chest followed by a clothesline. Inset promo from... Himself. He's got Ted Dibiase, you know. Duggan tosses Costello out of the ring in honor of all stupid people around the world. Back in the ring, and Duggan drops his 7th ho of the match. Irish whip and a back elbow from Duggan, followed by his signature clothesline for the three count at 1:43. - Craig DeGeorge is back to hype up Wrestlemania IV one more time. He brings in Ted Dibiase, Andre The Giant, and Virgil. Dibiase has words for Jim Duggan, his first round opponent. It almost sounded as if DeGeorge introduced Dibiase as the Undisputed Champion, but it was more about him flubbing his lines, than anything. Like when a referee held up Bret Hart's tag title belt in a singles match at MSG, when clearly it wasn't on the line. Just a dumb mistake. - Next week, we've got the Junkyard Dog (the Fred Sanford of wrestling, according to the Brain), Outlaw Ron Bass, and the Results from Wrestlemania IV in a special Report. In a SPECIAL Interview, we've got Don Muraco and Billy Graham, as well as the King of the WWF, and even MORE on the Undisputed Champion ("Ravishing Rick Rude, right?"). Final Thoughts: They certainly packed a lot of squashes into 40 minutes, although that's probably because introductions and post-match celebrations were non-existant for most of them. A good enough job hyping the PPV, I guess, but I'm shocked that certain suspects (cough:Savage:cough) weren't given a second of screen time to get them hyped up, like almost everyone else was. I guess you can say "what about Butch Reed, the Gang, and Bigelow" who also got zero time to talk or be in action, but Savage was a bit more of a deal than all of them. I've already covered Wrestlemania IV a while back, so why not check out that recap in the archives to see what did go down at the biggest extavaganza of all time. Sound Off!

Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) and mass extinctions are considered to be hyperthermals – usually associated with flood basalt eruptions.[2] Phases of rapid global warming, known collectively as hyperthermals.[1] Flood basalts are a subset of large igneous provinces (LIPs), the terms flood basalt and LIP are often used interchangeably, although the former should be reserved for the extrusive component of an LIP. Flood basalts are giant volcanic eruptions or series of eruptions that cover large stretches of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. Watch the feature film Flood basalts, the largest volcanic events in Earth history, triggered dramatic environmental changes on land and in the oceans. Rapid volcanic carbon emissions led to ocean warming, acidification, and deoxygenation that often caused widespread animal extinctions. Animal physiology played a key role in survival during flood basalt extinctions, with reef builders such as corals being especially vulnerable. The rate and duration of volcanic carbon emission controlled the type of environmental disruption and the severity of biological extinction. Study the parallels between hyperthermals and current climate change is by finding a suitable analogue – that is, the hyperthermal that was most similar to the kind of global warming that we’re seeing today. Carbon input during the PETM was likely still 10 times as slow as in the modern era. Indicators of PETM ocean acidification demonstrate strong dissolution, but modern rates are faster. The build up period that led to the PETM, in which around 3tn tonnes of CO2 was released into to the atmosphere, may have taken thousands of years. In comparison, the onset of current climate change has taken less than two centuries. Research suggests that the rate of carbon release as a result of human-driven climate change, and its resultant effect on the world’s oceans, could be “completely unprecedented”.[1] The rate of volatile emission, and therefore the rate of environmental disruption, likely provided a first-order constraint. In a sense, each hyperthermal extinction may have hardened ecosystems to be less vulnerable to future events. CO2 is partially taken up by dissolving into the surface ocean, causing a negative C isotope excursion at most events. However, the consensus today has shifted somewhat towards nutrient runoff (and eutrophication) as the primary driver, rather than slowing ocean circulation. This may also be related to different continental configurations hundreds of millions of years ago. Flood basalts, are giant volcanic eruptions or series of eruptions that cover large stretches of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. Phases of rapid global warming, known collectively as hyperthermals, include episodes of Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAE), and subsequent extinctions. Hyperthermals were characterized by enhanced chemical weathering and likely also by intensification of the hydrological cycle, supplying more nutrients that would drive eutrophication and expanded anoxia in shallow waters. However, despite the hyperthermals sharing a common history, the specific patterns of environmental change differed dramatically among them. During the past mass extinctions, flood basalts released initial carbon dioxide, triggering climate warming, decreased ocean PH, and potentially decreased the carbonate saturation state, with subsequent weathering feedbacks leading to nutrient loading (eutrophication) and expansion of low-oxygen zones in the ocean. This deoxygenation was driven primarily by nutrient loading that led to eutrophication and expansion of oxygen-minimum zones. On land, emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) aerosols would likely have caused short-term cooling following each eruption, with longer-term warming from CO2. [2] Extinction events Clapham and Renne 2019 [2] Organism stressors Ocean acidification (Reduced PH) Deoxygenation (extreme condition in Ocean, leading to hydrogen sulfide production) Mercury loading Increased dissolved seawater CO2 Multiple stressors can have synergistic impacts For example, high temperatures increase an organism’s oxygen demand and reduce its aerobic scope, while lower pH may reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood pigments and seasonal hypoxia can reduce oxygen availability. Likewise, temperature can have variable effects on susceptibility to metal pollution, and metal pollution can in turn reduce thermal tolerance. What were the most important environmental kill mechanisms responsible for eliminating marine and terrestrial organisms during past extinction events? Plant and animal communities would have been further stressed not only by warming but also by shifts in the hydrologic cycle. Species extinction and survival were likely rooted in their physiological responses to temperature, reduced Ocean PH, oxygen availability, increased dissolved seawater CO2. Additional, modern dissolved mercury concentrations have increased due to anthropogenic emissions, mercury bioaccumulates and is a neurotoxin. Other volatiles, such as hydrogen chloride and organohalogens, may have contributed to degradation of the ozone layer. Likewise, temperature can have variable effects on susceptibility to metal pollution, and metal pollution can in turn reduce thermal tolerance. At molecular and cellular scales, heat stress alters cell membrane properties and damages protein folding, impairing cellular function and causing death if heat stress is severe. It is generally believed that more-active organisms survived during past hyperthermals. However, more active organisms such as fish tend to be more sensitive to hypoxia. Organisms must use more energy to maintain respiratory functions during higher temperatures, in order to remove CO2 from the body. However, reallocation of energy likely impacted growth and reproduction, potentially reducing species survival over many generations.[2] Benton 2018[3] A new model from MIT indicates that previous consensus climate models have underestimated the atmospheric CO2 levels required to push the ocean beyond a tipping point that would lead to mass extinction in the coming millenia: Title: “Breaching a “carbon threshold” could lead to mass extinction” http://news.mit.edu/2019/carbon-threshold-mass-extinction-0708 We find that the observed pink noise behavior is intrinsic to Earth’s climate dynamics, which suggests a range of possible implications, perhaps the most important of which are ‘resonances’ in which processes couple and amplify warming https://news.yale.edu/2018/09/04/think-pink-better-view-climate-change Hydrogen sulfide and environmental stresses / H2S is produced in response to numerous plant stresses, including heavy metal exposure, temperature, drought and salt stress. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0098847218311146 Ammonium intoxication is a previously unexplored killing mechanism for extinctions. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X19302407 A 500-million-year survey of Earth’s climate reveals dire warning for humanity https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/05/500-million-year-survey-earths-climate-reveals-dire-warning-humanity Maximum rates of climate change are systematically underestimated in the geological record https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9890 Hyperthermals: What can they tell us about modern global warming? https://www.carbonbrief.org/hyperthermals-what-can-they-tell-us-about-modern-global-warming Flood Basalts and Mass Extinctions, Matthew E.

Rees, Susan M. Hay, Helen E. Hayes, Valerie J. Stevens, Lorraine Gambling, Harry J. McArdle Journal: Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease , First View Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 September 2019, pp. 1-9 Iron deficiency is common in pregnant and lactating women and is associated with reduced cognitive development of the offspring. Since iron affects lipid metabolism, the availability of fatty acids, particularly the polyunsaturated fatty acids required for early neural development, was investigated in the offspring of female rats fed iron-deficient diets during gestation and lactation. Subsequent to the dams giving birth, one group of iron-deficient dams was recuperated by feeding an iron-replete diet. Dams and neonates were killed on postnatal days 1, 3 and 10, and the fatty acid composition of brain and stomach contents was assessed by gas chromatography. Changes in the fatty acid profile on day 3 became more pronounced on day 10 with a decrease in the proportion of saturated fatty acids and a compensatory increase in monounsaturated fatty acids. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the n-6 family were reduced, but there was no change in the n-3 family. The fatty acid profiles of neonatal brain and stomach contents were similar, suggesting that the change in milk composition may be related to the changes in the neonatal brain. When the dams were fed an iron-sufficient diet at birth, the effects of iron deficiency on the fatty acid composition of lipids in both dam’s milk and neonates’ brains were reduced. This study showed an interaction between maternal iron status and fatty acid composition of the offspring’s brain and suggests that these effects can be reduced by iron repletion of the dam’s diet at birth.

Notable findings include decreased frequency of active surveillance for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, frequent active surveillance for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and increased support for antibiotic stewardship programs. The effect of maternal iron deficiency on zinc and copper levels and on genes of zinc and copper metabolism during pregnancy in the rat Sarah C. Cottin, Guenievre Roussel, Lorraine Gambling, Helen E. Hayes, Valerie J. Currie, Harry J. McArdle Journal: British Journal of Nutrition / Volume 121 / Issue 2 / 28 January 2019 Print publication: 28 January 2019 Fe deficiency is relatively common in pregnancy and has both short- and long-term consequences. However, little is known about the effect on the metabolism of other micronutrients. A total of fifty-four female rats were fed control (50 mg Fe/kg) or Fe-deficient diets (7·5 mg/kg) before and during pregnancy. Maternal liver, placenta and fetal liver were collected at day 21 of pregnancy for Cu and Zn analysis and to measure expression of the major genes of Cu and Zn metabolism. Cu levels increased in the maternal liver (P=0·002) and placenta (P=0·018) of Fe-deficient rats. Zn increased (P<0·0001) and Cu decreased (P=0·006) in the fetal liver. Hepatic expression of the Cu chaperones antioxidant 1 Cu chaperone (P=0·042) and cytochrome c oxidase Cu chaperone (COX17, P=0·020) decreased in the Fe-deficient dams, while the expression of the genes of Zn metabolism was unaltered. In the placenta, Fe deficiency reduced the expression of the chaperone for superoxide dismutase 1, Cu chaperone for superoxide dismutase (P=0·030), ceruloplasmin (P=0·042) and Zn transport genes, ZRT/IRT-like protein 4 (ZIP4, P=0·047) and Zn transporter 1 (ZnT1, P=0·012). In fetal liver, Fe deficiency increased COX17 (P=0·020), ZRT/IRT-like protein 14 (P=0·036) and ZnT1 (P=0·0003) and decreased ZIP4 (P=0·004). The results demonstrate that Fe deficiency during pregnancy has opposite effects on Cu and Zn levels in the fetal liver. This may, in turn, alter metabolism of these nutrients, with consequences for development in the fetus and the neonate. Effect of the ligand in the crystal structure of zinc oxide: an x-ray powder diffraction, x-ray absorption near-edge structure, and an extended x-ray absorption fine structure study María de los A. Cepeda-Pérez, Cristina M. Reyes-Marte, Valerie Ann Carrasquillo, William A. Muñiz, Edgar J. Trujillo, Rahul Singhal, Harry Rivera, Mitk'El B. Santiago-Berríos Journal: MRS Communications / Volume 6 / Issue 2 / June 2016 We analyze the effect of functionalization in the surface of zinc oxide crystal structure by 3-mercaptopropionic acid. X-ray powder diffraction data and extended x-ray absorption fine structure studies confirms a wurtzite structure. However, the morphology of the surface seems to be reduced and shows a film-like surface as demonstrated by x-ray absorption near edge structure and scanning electron microscopy. As a result of surface functionalization, the energy levels of the semiconductor were shifted toward reductive potentials (by 50 mV) as determined by diffuse reflectance and cyclic voltammetry.

Venezia, Valerie Harris, Cynthia Miller, Hilary Peck, Mara San Antonio Journal: Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology / Volume 13 / Issue 8 / August 1992 Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015, pp. 472-476 To investigate an outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among patients using chromosomal typing of the isolates. Comparison of epidemiological and clinical data to endonuclease restriction fragmentation analysis (RFA) of the MRSA isolates associated with an outbreak. Total DNA from the MRSA isolates was restricted with HINDIII and HAEIII for typing. Tertiary care academic medical center. An epidemiological investigation of an outbreak of MRSA among patients in private rooms was evaluated by routine infection control methods. The MRSA isolates from blood cultures of 7 patients and the nares of a nurse were collected during the outbreak. MRSA isolates from 23 patients not associated with the outbreak also were collected. The total DNA of the MRSA isolates were restricted with HINDIII and HAEIII and electrophoresed on 0.6% agarose gels. MRSA from 4 of the 7 bacteremic patients and the nurse on the outbreak unit had the same endonuclease restriction pattern. The patients were linked in that they were compromised by severe psoriasis or skin ulcers, were on the unit during the same period, and had oatmeal baths in a common bathtub. Of 50 staff members screened, the nurse was the only person detected as colonized by the strain. The other 3 patients on the unit as well as the 23 patients in other locations not associated with the outbreak had MRSA isolates with different RFA patterns. The use of the bathtub was discontinued and further transmission of MRSA was stopped. A comparison of the relatedness of MRSA by RFA demonstrated the uniqueness of the epidemiologically linked isolates and the utility of the RFA technique in the performance of routine infection control investigations. Modelling of a planktonic ecosystem in an enclosed water column Valérie Andersen, Paul Nival, Roger P. Harris Journal: Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom / Volume 67 / Issue 2 / May 1987 The analysis of the complex trophic relations characteristic of plankton communities is much simpler in an isolated body of water than in the open sea. In fact, in the open sea physical processes make many biological phenomena difficult to recognize, and advection and turbulence generally make it impossible to sample repetitively the same population of organisms for long periods of time.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3296

Lenny, You Miserable Shit Sure, I couldn't fault Lenny and Squiggy for wanting to escape the land of the seldomly changed litterbox. I lost my cookies while I was changing the cage papers before the weekend. Yeah, my gag reflex is bad, so ferret clean-up missions are better started in the early morning. Lenny is the miserable shit who will wait for me to pull out all the newspaper in the cage before taking a running dump in the cage corner. He looks cute, but beware. Don't trust him. posted by Cowboy Blob @ 10:53 PM 1 Drinks Ordered That's Why They Call it a Practice Match Although, I was almost able to call today a match that doesn't count, lots of my fellow shooters took full advantage of the relaxed nature of the match league's 4th Sunday 3-Gun Practice match to work out the kinks in their game. Okay...me first. Now I absolutely know not use Winchester-Western shells in anything but my double-barrel. They don't cycle in my Remington 1100 and they stick in both of my 870 pumps. Sure, I figured my old rescue project might have some bugs, but when my pristine First Gun started hiccupping on the things, it's time to consign W-W to the back of the odd ammo drawer. Oh, yeah, I also misread one stage description, which cost me lots of time, but I recovered to get all my hits. Jon (pictured above) joined me in practice for next year's Superstition 3-Gun Match, going Heavy Metal (single-stack .45, 12 gauge pump, .308 iron-sight rifle) to satisfy some All-American, meat-eating, uber-Neanderthal urge to handicap ourselves to the point that our shoulders are guaranteed to sport bruises like this and this and we'd be reloading mofos shooting great big manly .45 ACP cartridges. Jon learned not to trust M1A magazines as being "GI Spec" and even his trusty 30-rounder betrayed him. One guy who squadded with us had a tricked out Carbon-15 racegun with an ambidextrous safety. Although right-handed, he used the right-side safety switch, losing precious seconds adjusting his grip. We pointed out he'd done the same thing last month. Rob was a good sport and confessed it was a mental bloc. Friendly reinforcement! We beat him to a bloody pulp for being such a loon! Oh, no, we didn't. But it's making my sleep-deprived mind giggle like crazy. More after the results are posted. Update: Predictably, Jon and I finished at the bottom of the rifle roster; he because of magazine troubles, me because of that brain fart on the stage description (I beat Jon on one stage by half a second, but his magazine problems were faster than my brain fart on the other rifle stage). That, and we were the only two not armed with poodle-shooters. We were surprised at the number of Pump Gunners that showed; six to the two auto-gunners playing the game. Jon and I finished first and third, respectively. Jon's time even beat one of the auto-gunners! Criminal Number 1 I was packing up my match gear last night when a brown blur zipped across the living room. I'd heard no commotion beforehand, but I checked the barrier and it was intact with Squiggy on the other side. After I tracked Lenny down, he immediately re-demonstrated his new talent. He leapt at the top of the barrier and muscled his way up with his paws, then rolled over the top of the plexiglas. And this right before an overnight trip. Into the cage he went. I let Squiggy have freedom of the room, but I erected the other barrier in the hallway; this one stands straight across the hall with heavy boxes anchoring it...no diggable edges like the other one. Turns out I needed it. When I returned, I found Squiggy curled up inside a case of shotgun shells in the hallway closet. The cage for both of them tonight! Update: I was merciful. After only one leaping attempt (met with a squirtgun attempt), the inmates became rather docile and chummy. I think the separation affected them somewhat; it was the only time they had ever been separated from each other. Three Hours Sleep! I hate me! After all the run and coke and pounding the Canadian Army last night, you'd think I could sleep until the 8 a.m. alarm? Even after getting to bed after 3 a.m.? Try 0630. Then I start digging around in my stuff and found that I left all my pistol mag pouches at home! At least I have stress to keep me awake now! Maybe I can borrow some from Jon's brother. We were playing Steel Panthers II last night on the old rickety Gateway. We were the Greek Army being assaulted by the Canadians in 1962. What fun! I bought two rifle companies, six platoons of 155-mm howitzers, an ordnance section, and mines. Jon stiffened our defense with a rifle company, two M-47 tanks, some engineers, spare bazooka teams (our rifle companies had recoilless rifles) and more mines! We saved the game after 3 a.m. while the computer enemy still had a lot of armor left (Centurions and Sherman dozer-engineer tanks), but it was all sitting at the edge of my beautifully placed minefield. Jon dug up some single pouches and handed me a double and a single...what a pal! I'll probably let him beat me in the match today. posted by Cowboy Blob @ 7:57 AM 1 Drinks Ordered Saddling Up Just waiting for the sun to go down before heading up to PHX for tomorrow's shoot.

I had nothing worthy...maybe next week. I Don't Heart Rat Move Over, Ernie Pyle My parents' generation had Ernie Pyle to bring the human side of the the War to them in the tyepset pages of a magazine. We both watched the Dan Rather-types reporting on Vietnam, facing the TV camera with the war behind them. Now, my generation of blog junkies gets the story from a man behind the camera. Michael Yon is a combat correspondent and author in Iraq who makes the FOBbits from the network news look like pampered studio talking heads. In his latest dispatch, he's followed Army Lt. Col. Kurilla (left) to what might be the Colonel's last gunfight (for a while). Kurilla is already a hero in my book, but Yon's coverage of the heroes of Duece Four paints a colorful picture of the valor and competence of these men, warts and all. In this dispatch, Kurilla is sherpherding two newbies to combat through the battlefield when he's engaged by terrorist ragtards in a shop. The newbies froze, so Yon grabbed a weapon (a no-no) to help the man he's been shadowing for so long; fortunately, the Command Sergeant Major showed up and mopped up the tango. Go read! Check out his great pictures, a small sample I've included here. Most of all, hit his PayPal link to support this awesome reporting. I hope Michael survives this war, because this needs to be made into a movie and he needs to write the screenplay...maybe even star in it. HOOOAHH VS. OOORAH From the Dayton Daily News: Like their Army counterparts the day before, the Marines staged an urban assault, equipped with helicopters lowering troops to rooftops, tanks, machine guns, the works. I asked a Marine major if he could explain to me the difference between the Marines and the Army Rangers we had met the day before. "The Rangers are very good," he allowed. "I'd rate the best of the Rangers about equal to the average Marine." "I would have been a Marine," a Ranger told me, "but I couldn't fit my head in a jar." Rivalries between the services are legendary, of course, but the soldiers of the Army and the Marines do have one thing in common: They both make funny noises, which is endearing, because most of what they do for a living isn't the least bit funny. We were at dinner and a general was holding forth on the challenges facing the Army in the post-Cold War world, when from the back of the room came this grunting, coughing sound as if someone was struggling with a belch or was about to hurl. "Hoooahh." One too many toddies before dinner, I assumed. Then it happened again. Another guy. "Hoooahh." Then another. And another. I soon learned this is the Army's equivalent of shouting "Amen, brother!" in church. Depending on how you say it, "Hoooahh" means "right on." Or it means "darn shame, ain't it." For all I know, it can also mean "pass the ketchup." Marines, likewise, do the same thing. Only theirs is "Ooorah." "Men, we're going on a 20-mile run." "Ooorah." "Then, we're going to do 500 pushups." 'Afterwards, I'm buying the beer." "OOORAH!!" Since the Air Force was the next stop on our tour, I asked an Air Force major if members of his service were into this kind of noise-making. You guys have something you say? I asked. Sure, he replied. "FORE." I Heart Rat Binkeroni VALOUR IT Status Report At the Cool Blue Blog. Three-Nap Wednesday Note to self: when selecting a book to help you fall asleep, pick a book on a dry subject. Definitely don't take out something from your favorite author that you haven't read for five to 10 years. I learned this last night when I went to bed, eyes tired from ferret allergies, but brain running too fast for sleep. I pulled out Seventh Son, by Orson Scott Card, and proceeded to read it from cover to cover. The sun was just coming up when I finished and reached for Red Prophet...fortunately, Book Two stepped away from the protagonist Alvin Maker's storyline and let my sleep-deprived brain run over the secondary story, finally winding down enough to let me sleep. For three hours. Then my eyes slammed open with full consciousness; no sleeping in for me, not with the weasels soon to be beating on the barrier. Brought in the garbage can, and scoured some more weeds in the front yard. The back yard is still pretty muddy. Checked Email, read some blogs and comics. Read some Orson. Nap. Made a sandwich and surfed some more. Nap. Tomorrow, I'll work on reducing the fallen mesquite tree further...it's almost small enough that I can throw it into the truck and drive it out to the desert, but I'm tempted to just drag it into the back yard and use it piecemeal for barbequeing...that is, if someone doesn't steal it before then for just that purpose. The bottles of weed killer are still sitting on the barstool, laughing at me. If I turn up the Diamondbacks game, I can almost drown them out. Goings On at the Saloon Squiggy broke out last night...Lenny must have slept through it. First noticed when he stuck his nose on my left hip as I was surfing the net last night. I reversed the plexiglas since it seemed to have been fatigued curved one-way for so long. What a butthead. Squiggy got a great laugh out of it since he was free and clear for about half an hour. He was dancing and giggling for those moments he wasn't diving under furniture. I'm postponing my roadtrip back to PA until November, mostly due to the great big a/c repair bill I just got. No, I don't need to bleg or get a job right away, but I can drive without the truck a/c on part of the way and I can hope gas prices have fallen by then. I shouldn't be forced into a motel due to the heat that time of year. This will also allow me to be home for a real--rather than family-manufactured--holiday. I'll also be home for departed Dad's birthday and wedding anniversary. Tried to work in my monsoon-submerged yard today (I finally had an a/c-cooled house to retreat to. Scoured the front to placate the neighborhood yard Nazis, then turned to the back. That dark stuff by the back fence will turn to tumbleweeds in November.

Cowboy to the Rescue: 2 Miracles 2 Much 2 Ask From the Propwash Gang For those of us in the Intel Business from the 60s to the 90s, the SR-71 had a special place in our hearts--not just for the the intel she collected, but for the intel she generated by her presence near the airspace of our enemies. Where did she fly? I don't think I'll be revealing any national secrets by revealing the orbit named "AOTFP." Here's a story from one of the brave pilots of the Blackbird. Bill Weaver : SR-71 BREAKUP And I thought MY quirks were bad.... Check out Michele's at A Small Victory. To propagate the viral meme, here are the ones I'm aware of: I'm a lazy slob and a pack rat. I'm afraid of heights. I'm a nervous gagger; I can't go out in public on a full stomach and when eating in public, I sometimes get anxious enough to start gagging. Things guaranteed to get me making preparatory trips to the toilet or waste can: Dating, Public Speaking, Shooting Matches, Dentist trips. I avoid opened umbrellas unless I'm safely under them. I clam up when talking to women for fear of saying something stupid (except to Lisa the Biker Chick...I practice saying stupid things to her). I sometimes get nauseous looking at my own cooking. I collect movie DVDs but rarely watch them alone. I read too many blogs. I spend too much time at the computer. On road trips, I do not stop to ask for directions, nor do I check out tourist vistas, historical markers, or interesting restaurants. I will stop at chain restaurants and truckstops convenient to the interstate. I've never had a committed romantic relationship. I hoard photographs, binary files, video tape, etc., and only a tiny percentage of these are pornographic. I've amassed a great quantity of fired brass, but haven't touched my reloading presses in ages. When seated in public, I prefer a seat that faces the door (ol' saloon habit), preferably, the whole room. For all my nausea issues, I've never been seasick or airsick. I did the ol' gag routine before every one of my training flights, however (but none of the others). I have an unhealthy appetite for rum and caffeine-free Diet Coke. I know you're wondering how I could function in the Air Force for so long with these quirks. I was actually a podium instructor of note at Tech School and when teaching from a syllabus on subjects on which I was either expert or merely conversant, that was not public speaking. Being Master of Ceremonies at the class graduation sent me to the boys room every time. My dental anxiety took a while to manifest; I had a very bad episode at the dentist clinic once and on my next appointment a year later, the gag was there. The gag stopped the procedure, which reinforced itself in my mind. The last time I had fillings filled, I was under drugs for my wisdom teeth removal. Blogger Anika! of Annika's Journals has found the Holy Homeland of Happy Hoplophiles and is seriously considering residiency. Although physically residing in the DPRKalifornia, she'll join a population of law-abiding citizens who realize that whatever weal or woe that is derived from a handgun comes from the hand that wields it. Weal...that means prosperity or happiness. Yes, guns can be fun and I know lots of folks who can make a living competing with them. I wonder if it feels like work to them? It seems Annika! wondered if the SIG-Sauer P226 would be a good first gun for her. Well, judging from her first target at the above link, I would think so! If she can afford a Sig. She said she already knows 9-mm would be a lot less expensive to practice with. Merely liking it and shooting well with it ought to be enough. Here's my response: Thanks for the Email, Annika! Congrats on joining the ranks of Happy Hoplophiles! As far as selecting your first gun, if you like the P226 (and can afford it), how can you go wrong? As in my example, even a great gun can't be everything to you. My Sig is a great target shooter and very reliable carry piece but I can't shoot it for long durations; my Glock is a match champ, but I didn't want to pack it home after a long match without cleaning it (it's a liability thing). Yes, 9-mm is waaaay cheaper to practice with and there are many good brands of premium defensive ammo made for it. Make sure to practice with the defensive stuff too, to ensure your gun feeds it reliably. Between my two favorite brands, the Sig is better for a beginner only because the long, stiff trigger pull makes it less likely for this no-manual-safety- equipped firearm to hurt you accidently. I personally think these guns are better for the beginner if they pound it into their skulls first: "Absolutely nothing inside the trigger guard until I'm ready to shoot!" "The gun gets my undivided attention while holstering." If you think this is bad, think about guns with manual safeties. The bad thing is that you have to train yourself to use the safety. If I had a nickel for every 10th of a second I'd lost squeezing a immovable trigger, I might be able to buy a card for my funeral if it had been a real situation and not a match. Safeties also let the shooter relax just a bit...do you want to relax with a loaded firearm in your hand? I'd rather put it in a holster. The Europeans aren't the only ones who make quality firearms and don't restrict yourself to auto-loaders, unless you really want to. My first handgun was a Dan Wesson revolver. I could shoot inexpensive .38 Special ammo to practice and also load .357 Magnum jacketed hollow-points for self-defense. I rarely shoot it any more. Your first self-selected handgun is an important choice only if it stands to become your last gun. If you're counting on it defending your life and it fails you in some way, you will buy no more, because you're dead. If you buy it to have fun at the range and it's an inaccurate jam-o-matic that turns you off to the sport, you will buy no more. Choose wisely and don't be afraid to try other things. What's with Curry? I love curry, but only made it once with a packet my cousin the Nippophile sent me. Last week I found some in the commissary and decided to try a few recipes. I was looking forward to the "Hot" variety, since the stuff I made before was kind of tame. Plus, since I'm projectile sweating all day, why not give the ol' pores a workout? Color me disappointed. Oh, it's tasty! But what about "Hot?" Doesn't that imply some flavorful stimulation resembling heat? Has kimchi and picante sauce deadened my taste buds forever? Or is "Hot" Japanese for something else? What say you S&B Golden Curry? AC Issues Jose the AC Guy scratched his head on his third visit. I made it through yesterday with no problem (other than some unusual humidity), then today it got clammy again and the temp started rising despite the unit chugging away all day. The unit is putting out cold air, but it's only noticeably coming out the vents on the furnace side of the house. Unfortunately, the attic ends where the vaulted ceiling divides the house and there's no separate attic opening on the ferret side of the house. I'm a bit scared to start carving on my ceiling at this point. We couldn't feel anything blowing from the guest room vent, but when I closed the door to minimize the area to be cooled, I could feel cool air rushing through under the door. I don't know...maybe since I've never spent a whole summer hanging out in the house, I never noticed the AC getting behind the temp curve in the afternoon. Or my AC is dying. Damn, house, don't make me get a job just to fix you! I am this far away from taking Lenny up into the attic with a fiber-optic camera stuck on his harness and send him through the duct work. I heard they used ferrets to wire ICBM silos.... Update: Oh, great! Now it's blowing room temp air! I'd put a remote thermometer sensor up on the kitchen vent (closest to the furnace) yesterday to ensure there really was cool air being generated. There was...yesterday! I changed the filter on the first of the month but don't see anything coming out of the drop faucet outside. I might have to make my own venture into the attic-space. It Only Comes Out at Night - No, not the Edgar Winter Group album, my A/C! After turning it off for a few hours, it's now blowing at 77 degs F which might get the house down to a sleepable temp by the time I pass out from too many rums and lemonade. The Rolls in the Garage Long before I discovered the mid-size Glock frame as the greatest carry gun in the world, my marginally legal carry arrangement was a used Canadian Browning High-Power in a case kept in my truck (I was living in the DPRM at the time). It had a tiny, old-style safety, but I liked the firepower the 12+1 capacity it offered over the 7+1 of my .45 and the 6+0 of my .357 Magnum. Way back then, I had only one (maybe two) of each...imagine! Then something called the .40 S&W cartridge came out. Finally, one could carry a more powerful round than the 9-mm and still have a good reserve of ammunition after double-tapping multiple opponents. Right about then, I'd just received an assignment to Korea (my 4th, I think) and I needed something to cheer myself up. Enter gun shop, stage left. I wasn't particularly looking for a .40, just eye-shopping when I spotted a stainless steel Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum priced to sell! I wouldn't have to double-tap with that! The clerk said it was being sold for a Clinton staffer moving into the area who wanted to "walk the walk" of Slick Willy's administration. I slapped my credit card down quickly and was halfway through the paperwork when I took a closer look at the tag...I could scarcely read "SOLD" in the brighter light outside the display case. The clerk apologized profusely while I tried to calm my shaking disappointment (kinda like Ed McMahon coming to your door with a big check with your neighbor's name written on it). The staffer also had a Desert Eagle .50 AE on sale there, but I wasn't interested; I'd racked (or tried to...) the slide of one of those before and would wait for years to buy my first Israeli weaponry. Moving on, I checked out a two-tone BHP "Competition" model with a nice, oversized safety. Then I picked up a SiG-Sauer P229 in the new .40 caliber...this was too sweet! It didn't snuggle into my hand like a Walther P-38 or a 1911, but it had a slide release and mag release I could reach with my short thumb (with a little adjusting). It's a German-framed gun priced as the Rolls Royce of Handguns (and this Maryland, which tacked more on the price); it would be the most expensive handgun I'd bought to that date. What the heck...I'd get to shoot the finest handgun available for a few months before spending a year in Korea not shooting at all. Back then, I'd shoot rarely at the local indoor range or at the gun club down the road from my parents up in PA on long weekends. I'd seen one IPSC match at the Fort Meade Gun Club, but never took the opportunity to try it. My only competition was with my little brother, from whom I won bragging rights in every discipline but clay pigeons. Well, the Rolls Royce of Handguns turned out to be the most accurate handgun I owned! Something to look forward to! As my tour in Korea wound down, I landed an assignment to Tucson, where my good friend Jon was already stationed. We'd gone shooting/camping there when I'd taken my first non-hometown vacation to Tucson and San Diego. Jon was into IPSC and I was looking forward to getting a concealed carry permit (though I loved open carry in AZ, sometimes it's better to keep your gat under wraps). After I drove my guns down from PA (never let anybody else move your guns!), I took the CCW class and brought my P229 for the qualifying range time. I was confident I'd breeze through very simple course of fire from five and 10 yards. First shot-- (double action, of course) boom! out of the generous scoring area! Where the heck did that come from? I settled down and grouped the rest mighty tightly (thanks to the SiG's light single-action pull) and qualified for my CCW with only one miss. For my first venture into IPSC, my only real choices were the P229, my Colt Series 80 Enhanced, Glock 21, or ParaOrdnance P14-45. There was no way I would shoot minor (pride, ya know), although I still had the BHP with the tiny safety. This was pre-Limited 10 IPSC, so the SiG was the logical choice, since I hadn't amassed enough of the pricey P14 magazines yet and had no holster for the G21 either. I shot my Tyro match with the best in German engineering, only to be undone by Slovak-German genetics. By the end of the long match, my right index finger was having trouble with the looonng double-action trigger pull...I would learn the same applies to the big Glock 20/21; they're great guns for carry or light shooting, but in my hands they would take too much out of my weakling trigger finger over a long day of shooting. Methinks this also kept me from making Expert with the M9; I'd begin by clover-leafing my hits on target, then after hauling the wooden target frames out to the farther ranges, fatigue would slow down my trigger finger. What to do? Shoot super-handicapped with the single-stack, single-action .45? Pay through the nose for Para magazines (actually, I did later)? Spend the crazy single Master Sergeant money (not getting flight pay yet) on a new pistol? Yes! The Glock 23 turned out to be the answer to my problem of putting a major caliber, high-capacity handgun into my little gurly hand, and snuggled its way into my carry rotation too! I shot the heck out of it for a year in the matches. Actually, I grew too fond of it for carry that I had night sights put on it and got a factory refinished .40 Glock 22 with two refurbished 15-round mags for a steal and dedicated it to competition. When the flight pay finally started rolling in (on top of language proficiency pay I was already getting), I added several more handguns to my collection, including some big-body Glocks (20 and 30) and a Glock 19...because Jon kicked ass with his when he had occasional urge to shoot minor super-fast. Sadly, I shoot the G19 slower than the G22 for some reason, so the G19 found its way to the lower rear stack of Combat Tupperware in my gun safe. After I retired, I came back to Tucson and when it was time to get a new CCW (I let the old one expire since I couldn't be certain I'd return to AZ), I dug back into the safe and got the G19 out. I was attending the class with Lisa the Biker Chick who also packs a G19 (and is a mighty fine shot when she wears her contact lenses). As you can see, I had four "flyers" out of 10 shots with a pistol I'd rarely shot. I attribute some of this accuracy to our instructor, Phil, who taught me how to defeat cross-eye dominance, but everything else goes to Glock accuracy...well, I might have some talent, too. Nyuk, Nyuk...I still have the target stuck on my refrigerator with magnets. Hey, I don't have any kids! Note: I am not a beginning shooter, so if you are, a Glock might not be right for you. Its lack of an external safety and light trigger pull, relative to the double-action of the SiG, requires it be kept in a rigid holster covering the trigger guard. If you can keep things from leaping in front of the trigger as you holster it, it's a safe, accurate, and reliable carry/competition piece. And the P229? For me, it's a sweet range gun which I'd carry as my Sunday-Go-To-Meeting-Piece (I later got a smaller P239 with night sights), sort of like a "Dress Gun"...oh, yeah, like I ever go out any more. But for me, the Rolls Royce of Handguns takes a back seat to the Austrian BMW from Gaston Glock, especially the mid-sized ones. Submitted to the Carnival of Cordite. None Shall Pass! If Lenny looks a little wet, it's because he tried a little too aggressively to pop the plexiglas barrier open. He almost made it, but got a big squirt from the water bottle (not the squirt gun). That gave him a shock...then he squirreled around alternately licking the floor and doing the Backwards War Weasel Dance. Squiggy beats on the plexiglas for attention, but Lenny pries at the corners to make good his escape from captivity. The Lenster slipped into my gun safe this week; I pulled him out before he could tear up the foam rubber flooring. After he was frustrated at the plexiglas, I surreptiously caught him digging at the safe door. I don't know where he thinks it leads. Hopefully, a can of Chinese .308 will block any further escape attempts. See...I Get Out Of course, my house was 90 degrees inside and humid! The AC guy came back today and declared that it was working, despite the fact that it climbed up to 87 degrees before he arrived. It's started to cool down again...I wonder what he did to it. Jon and I were really looking forward to doing the postal match this morning, but the local range is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! I knew about the Mondays part, but not Tuesdays until we reached the gate. Jon's social schedule was too tight to truck all the way out to the Tucson Rifle Club, so we'll shoot it separately later in the week. Oh, yeah...the Hermit Cowboy actually did some socializing! Jon called up a mutual friend down here who was hoping to have dinner with Jon while he's here, so they set up a meet. Chris was a student in my favorite Tech School class; now he's holding down the job Jon retired from. They grow up so fast...he's a MSgt with 18 years in! Feeling old. Well, the boys pulled one tonight. One side of the plexiglas had been compromised by a digging devil and I found myself stalked by TWO evil weasels! Squiggy I recaptured immediately, while I needed to shake a plastic shopping sack to lure Lenny into captivity! All this after I tried to do some housecleaning in anticipation of Jon's visit tomorrow. Screw that. Jon might have to sit around while I scrub and vacuum tomorrow. Happiness is a Cluttered Closet At least it's kept them from pooping everywhere in there! Got Another Road Trip Coming Up Might need to get a Pennsylvania Non-Resident License for dove season. Mmm...dove. Haven't been bunny hunting for years. I started out using the .22 pistol like every one else, but learned that the 12 gauge Stevens coachgun made the perfect Elmer Fudd gun. Did you know the EFG started out as Jon's? Not for this picture, though, since he harvested this bunny with his first wife's Taurus .44 Magnum (hunting for javelina originally). He used the .44 and the coach gun in a Cactus monthly USPSA match...I provided the Bag o' Speedloaders and he shovelled out the style points. Steel was slammed down by factory magnum loads and the riotgun stage was laughable for its anachronism. The range officer was super-helpful in his tactical advice...before he saw the fun-gun Jon had packed that weekend. Sadly, shooting both barrels from the hip failed to drop the last two steel. I've got that on my Sony Handycam, but I really need a Hi-8 player since the camera's player seems to have gone the way of so much of my electronic stuff lately. Oh, yeah, gotta love what he's using for a game bag! BTW, we came back from this trip with no javalina, but lots of bunny meat. Gotta love the long Arizona white-meat season. Tucson...even our bugs are tougher! TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - An 83-year-old woman is recovering after being stung 400 times by bees, authorities said. The woman, whose name was not released, was attacked Friday by bees coming from the wall of a storage building outside her home, said Fire Department Capt. Paul McDonough. A handyman sprayed her with water from a hose until the bees turned on him. He ran and called 911. Firefighters found the woman lying face down and unconscious in the street. They sprayed the bees with foam, then took her to the hospital, McDonough said. She was out of intensive care and in fair condition Friday night. "She was stung 400 times," said University Medical Center clinical supervisor Kim Hilty. "Everyone was surprised how well she's doing." Via Drudge and My Way News Looks like I might get out and do some plinking this week. Cosmic Timing What better time for my central air conditioner to start crapping out than on an Arizona summer Saturday night right before I'm expecting houseguests? It started at lunch when I was surpised by how much the chili was making me sweat. A full-body sweat. I checked the thermostat and sure enough, it was 3 degs above the set temperature. Only three degrees...proves it's not the heat, it's the humidity. It's been hazy/cloudy all day today, but no rain. I just hope I can get the AC guy out here early enough Monday morning. Binker Ribbet! Studious Binking Click the Link Keep 'em coming! The Other Black Rifle (A Bushie Commercial) With all that SOCOM-16 blogging I've been doing, you'd think that was only rifle I compete with. Not so! In fact, my old workhorse Bushmaster Shorty (XM17E2) has been with me at every 3-Gun match and most Cactus matches I've attended. It's light, short, fast! and has held up under the thousands of rounds I've put through it. Ya know, if it wasn't a .223 poodle-shooter, I'd go to war with this weapon! Well...since Cactus monthlies usually require us to triple-tap everything (to bring the round count up), it and I might be ready for war yet. If I had run into a 16-inch Bushie .308 before I found the SOCOM-16, I probably would have bought it instead. The sight is a zero-power Trijicon Reflex II with an amber triangle reticle. Mounted where it is, you can use the iron sights through it. In fact, you don't even need to range sight the scope as long as your iron sights are accurate; just adjust the reticle to superimpose over the front sight when viewed through the rear sight. I'll stay with this configuration for as long as my eyes remain young. I'll keep the Redi-Mag attached unless somehow I get a few C-Mags for Christmas (not holding my breath on that one). I think I've got enough ammo stored up to shoot the Bushie on First Sundays and the SOCOM on 4th Sundays for the rest of the year. Maybe it's ammo I need for Christmas. Update: Some of my readers had things to say about the loudness of the AK muzzle brake employed by the Bushie. The ear assault by the AK brake is nothing compared to the teeth-rattling concussion of the JP brake at the left. I've seen this on many of the space-guns brought by upper-tier shooters, so I know it must be effective. Dusting off my Fusileer Uniform Carren and CPT Chuck Ziegenfuss, inspiration for Valour IT.

Box o' Rusty Gun I left my trusty rusty single-stack with Jon so he could drop it off to my favorite gunsmith, Ed Cameron, this week. I could have done it myself, but I hate bothering the guy on a weekend, unless I run into him at a match. He's offered to sschmooth out the edges on the adjustable sight (that's sliced open my hand twice) and I'd like him to cut some cocking serrations on the forward slide and install an expanded magazine well. I wonder if seeing BoRG again will give him nightmares.... Speaking of rust, I'm shopping around for slide finishes (obviously, bare metal isn't gonna cut it). I've been looking at NP3 by Robar ever since I began the project. Now that I live closer to Robar (I think they're in Scottsdale), they have the inside track. Any other suggestions? Ya know, I've done it back when I was a noob and tried to rectify when I discovered the sins I committed. But the biggest blog in the Left Wing Blogosphere (who I shall not link)?? Via Little Green Footballs from Mudville Gazette Had a great weekend! Did a gaming session with Jon's family (we're all D&D geeks) and chowed down on some great cooking (I didn't even have room for dessert!). Fortunately, there was some crumbcake left over for lunch after the match. The rare same-night results posting is becoming even more rare, but that's okay. I'm certain Jon crushed me in all three disciplines, but carbine was the only weapon we fired in the same category. Jon has a Bushie Shorty which he feeds with a C-Mag (100-round drum magazine). I've got a Redi-Mag, so I only lost a second and change in my reload. Jon was shooting a beauty of a custom .45 in Limited 10 while I shot revolver...so, no contest. In riotgun, Jon went to his Benelli semi-auto, while I (fed up with my balky Rem. 870 composite gun) put the rifle sight barrel and a mag extension on my beautiful First Gun, the 870 with shiny wood furniture. I was a bit more slow there, too, naturally. Update: Next-day score posting is good! Kudos to the stat crew! Jon took first place in Carbine (out of six gunners) and I took third! right behind Mr. Two-Scope Grand Master Spacegunner. I'm stoked...behind me were two Masters and a D Class shooter. There were seven riotgunners on the way-cool assault stage and two M/GM space-gunners (with 10+1 magazines) finished ahead of Jon and me (woohoo!) which means my First Gun and I shot faster than three other shooters! These were new guys and I was closer to them than to Jon in points. I'm happy with the First Gun; I'm now leary of defacing it by adding the six-shell, side-car shellholder that's currently on the Black 870. It would have sped up my reloading a bit. I think I'll pattern it at the local range soon; I missed the first mini-popper at close range. Let that be a lesson to those who think you can't miss with a shotgun! Below is a pic of part of the assault stage (it doglegs to the right, ending with a Texas Star). Jon knocked down both mini-poppers with one shot, as all the good shooters did, I'm sure. The paper targets were for pistol use only. Oh, yeah...Revolver. Once again, I was the only Wheelgunner playing, but I wasn't exactly at the very bottom of the Cactus Match food chain this time. I placed ahead of two "C" Production gunners, one D Limited, and one Unclassified shooter. The Squigster Thunder6 and Sgt B both have beautiful, well-written tributes to the foot soldier on their blogs in the wake of the spate of Marine casualties in Iraq. I've always had a great admiration for the Army infantry and Marine riflemen, especially since I've usually been in mediocre shape and always had small, flat feet. I've also envied the visibility and respect their branches enjoyed among the general populace. But this post is not about them; this is about the grunts of the intelligence community. You see, that envy of the infantry bordered on jealousy, as I was in a quiet, low-visibility career field that may have been treasured by select O-6s "in the know," but to most folks, we were just the squadron with the best softball team on base. And we hauled away most of the "lumber" at Leadership School graduations. And we had a lot of relatively junior NCOs in base housing at our "remote" overseas location. And we were the guys talking the Korean shopkeepers' prices down in their own language...and, boy, were we resented for all these by the first-remote-tour, I-miss-my-wife, no command-sponsorship havin', kimchi's-too-spicy thinkin' Sad Sacks who shared the base with us. And we were a smug, tight-lipped, but tight-with-our-buddies bunch...because we had to be. Our performance reports, decorations, and awards write-ups were so scrubbed of classified details that a layman often could not guess what we really did. We weren't gonna tell them, because we're Silent Warriors. Conspicuously, we didn't wear a PACAF patch and sometimes we were exempted from base exercises because of our real-world mission. But when the ROK Presidential Unit Citation was handed down, everybody on base got to wear it...but us. And we just stuck another oak leaf cluster onto our Short Tour Ribbon. Some people couldn't handle this compartmentalized world and some just moved on to something else. It was a shame to see a young airman leave the service because he didn't like being a Korean linguist and wanted to retrain (as he was entitled), but the Air Force said he could become an Arabic linguist or nothing! Hey, Big Blue! He said he didn't want to be a linguist! Best of luck to ya, Sean! Many marriages disintegrated because of the high turnaround rate back to Korea; some weren't even saved by accompanying the spouse to Korea. One benefit of this career field was that it was one of the first opened to women (a benefit unless they all work for you). It was also the cause of many marriages and divorces in the career field. Most of the young, unmarried females dated within the squadron, either because they've known the guy for a year since they went to school together, or they're on the same screwy work schedule, or they just like smart guys. Some would intentionally date outside the unit because they "like 'em big and dumb." I quote. Don't get mad at me! She said it. Anyway, I'm getting off on a tangent here...the operations floor isn't like the battlefield where the upper body strength of a man is more conducive to survival. In Ops, upper noggin strength rules the day, and most of the ladies could hold their own. The crucible was the intense pressure of sifting through real-time intelligence, which often came in a jumbled avalanche. In this world, crying won't make it stop or slow down...I've seen both men and women try it. The pressure has been compared to that felt by an air traffic controller on a busy day. Now, go home and don't talk about it. This graphic is actually what the job looked like when I first enlisted (except we had ashtrays!). Today, everything is digital and computerized, which makes many things easier for the operator, but actually increases the flow of raw intelligence into the poor airman's noggin. The ashtrays are gone now and don't you even go near that keyboard with a beverage! But why do I call these folks grunts? They're sitting on the frontline of the signals intelligence battlefield, converting murmurs in the static no computer program could translate into anything from chunks of data that will sit in the electronic equivalent of the warehouse where they store the Ark of the Covenant...to critical intelligence dropped on the desk of the President. Personally, most of my chunks went to the warehouse, but the few that reached the President, or 7AF Commander, made my career worthwhile...and that's all the satisfaction a grunt needs. Update: Looks like Prairiebiker outted me to the Prop Wash Gang, a motley assortment of zipper-suited Sun Gods, Beaners, MIMIs, MAs SPIT!, Doggers, and ne'er-do-wells. I didn't address the world of the "self-loading baggage"here because I didn't really live in that world (much). Only 229 hours on the aircraft and that wasn't even as a Silent Warrior. They are all the same high-speed kind of grunts, but they get to annoy flight crews as a bonus. Update Too: To catch a glimpse into the world of Nomex-clad Nomads, check out their web site, including their collection of "war stories." If they're anything like Airman Jiminez, they will entertain you for hours! Dave at Garfield Ridge has an entertaining Nats Diary post today. More fun than actually watching baseball, but not as much fun as actually watching sweaty co-eds "dressed only in baby tees and daisy dukes." Cowgirl Gun Pr0n Bug at An Indian Summer (The Last Cowgirls) posted some pics of her Homeland Defense Weapon, a Mauser with bayonet attached; not something you'd normally associate with a Cowgirl. I'm sure there're lots of Mauserphiles out there hungry for more information. Go pay a visit! American Hiroshima, the Day After At first impulse, I would have been all for reducing Mecca to a dirty glass parking lot after the launch of an American Hiroshima, the detonation of suitcase nukes in cities throughout the US. After great reflection and a few vodka-lemonades, I realize that striking a Muslim holy site with no military value would not be productive. Now, allow me to put on my Gen. "Buck" Turgidson hat to poke some pins into the map for a productive retributive strike. Operation Roto-Tiller: In close cooperation with President-General Musharraf, we'll identify those remote border areas of Pakistan where his government has no sway. Osama bin Laden is most likely hiding in one of these havens and there are certainly terrorist training areas and breeding grounds in these mountainous regions. This is the only instance I can justify "carpet bombing" since it is more area denial than attacking a population. We should sew those traffickable areas with penetrating munitions and low-yield nuclear weapons. Then, instead of racial profiling, we can profile for swarthy men with heavy burns and bleeding gums. Operation Urgent Burqa: If New York goes up in smoke, Teheran, Iran, must be flattened. Other targets include their nuclear processing facilities and their air and ground forces' centers of gravity. Arms and "resistance kits" should be inserted with Special Forces in regions not entirely under the theocratic thumb of the mullahs. Let the Revolution begin! Operation Raging Mama Bear: Time to let everyone else be terrified! Scramble half the bomber fleet to Diego Garcia, Guam, and Alaska (Alaska to get the Norks' attention) and let the world know we're pissed. We'll back-channel our nuclear friends and pseudo-friends to let them know we're not threatening them unless they're feeling froggy. If we can get our Allies in on this, we can get a flight of Aussie F-111s to impersonate a squadron of B-1s approaching Indonesia and give the Muslim world a taste of what they'll get for launching jihad against the United States. We might need an extra nuke or two for Syrian military targets or a Roto-tiller mission to the mountains of Afghanistan, but I think this will get the ragtards' attention. Meanwhile, the FBI can be monitoring the phonetaps for local imams giggling like schoolgirls over the burning American cities. I hope I'll still be alive to take up the sub-contract to help mop those bastards up. At Least I'm Not a Fool of a Took Congratulations! You're Merry!

__label__wiki	0.626743	0.626743	The Iron City of Dis From CrawlWiki Revision as of 19:45, 28 April 2014 by Derrek (talk \| contribs) (replaced metal gargoyles with war gargoyles) Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl. The Iron City of Dis. Who will stand the test of iron? Dis is seven levels deep and contains the iron rune. It can be accessed via the Vestibule of Hell. A gateway to the Iron City of Dis. Who will stand the test of iron? The Iron City of Dis is the iron branch of Hell, accessible from the Vestibule of Hell. 1 Useful Info 3 Hell effects Dis is 7 levels deep and populated by iron-themed monsters. The most common is the iron devil, but you'll also encounter iron dragons, iron trolls, and on the last level, war gargoyles. All the while a mystical Hellish force will assault you as is usual for all Hell branches, causing multiple nasty effects. Dis has a layout similar to the Vaults: square open levels with several smaller rooms that may contain additional monsters. The last level contains the iron rune of Zot, guarded by Dispater. Teleport control will not work here until you pick up the rune. Dis can be one of the easier branches of Hell if played right. The open layout means it's harder to be surrounded, for one, and a lot of "iron" monsters are slow and thus easy to outrun. The demons summoned can be as dangerous as Tartarus's set, but are often weaker. At any rate, do not attempt Dis until you've cleared almost everything else in the game, aside possibly from Zot:5, the Tomb, Pandemonium, and Ziggurats. Some means of restoring or sustaining abilities are welcome, since the effects of Hell can cause severe stat draining, and it's wise to carry some potions of healing to prevent your body from rotting away, which may happen occasionally by the effects of Hell. Note that Dis:7 has guaranteed ice fiends, so a minimum of rC++ is recommended for that floor. Hell effects Necromancy miscast: 16.66% Summoning miscast: 8.33% Conjurations miscast: 4.16% Charms miscast: 2.08% Hexes miscast: 2.08% Earth magic miscast: 22.22% Tier-1 or Tier-2 demon: 14.15% Summon 1-5 Dis monsters: 9.88% Nothing happens: 19.75% In Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Dis is the City of the Dead, and is located in the Fifth Circle of Hell. Punished within Dis are those whose lives were marked by active (rather than passive) sins, such as heretics, murderers, suicides, thieves, and traitors.

__label__cc	0.572451	0.427549	‘Ant House’ a new attraction for Sabah tourism KOTA KINABALU: Tourism industry players should think out of the box to come up with unique and fun products so that tourists will not get bored seeing the same things when visiting Sabah, a state minister said. Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said Sabah has a lot of potential in the industry, and it is more than just snorkelling, islands and mountains. “Yes, we have many tourists coming here every year but if we keep telling them to go up the mountain, go to the islands and try snorkelling, they would probably feel bored after some time,” he said at the opening of the Borneo Ant House theme park in Tuaran, 35km from here. Masidi said there were about 3.24 million visitors to Sabah last year, generating revenue of about RM7.5bil, showing the state’s popularity as a destination. That is why, he said, Sabah’s tourism products need diversity and creativity. “The more products (we have) and the more diverse they are, the better it is for us and for tourists,” he said. He also urged tourism players to incorporate homestays and hotels into their products as these are some aspects of tourism where there is demand and room for growth. Masidi commended the operators of the Borneo Ant House for daring to be different by offering underground walkways and tunnels, simulating an ant nest, as well as canopy walkways. “This is a family business and I am proud to see Sabahans tap into this industry,” he said, adding that the ministry would help promote the Borneo Ant House through its Sabah Tourism Board. “We will assist where possible for this place to be marketed and maybe expanded in future,” he said. The Borneo Ant House will be open to the public from July 1. The entrance fee is RM9 for the disabled, senior citizens aged 60 and above as well as children aged seven and below.

Owned and managed by a local family from Sabah, it offers visitors a chance to learn more about ants, as well as Sabah and Sarawak's ethnic groups. Borneo Ant House chief executive officer Sufiah Abd Rahim Lee, 59, said the name "Ant House" is taken from the concept of "living underground", like an ant. "Ants live underground and since the theme park's main attractions are the underground galleries, we decided to name this place as such," said the retired teacher and mother of five. The main attractions would be the three galleries - the first would be on sculptures of ants and some description of the insect, said Sufiah. The second would be on the cultures of the Bajau, Dusun Lotud, Iban and Bidayuh people, and the last, on swords. "The Bajau and Dusun Lotuds make up the majority of the population in Tuaran and the Iban and Bidayuh people are the largest ethnic groups of Sarawak," she said. "This is why we chose to focus on these four ethnic groups," Sufiah said. She added that the gallery on swords among other weapons were relevant as decades ago, the people of Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak) were known as headhunters. "So we think this topic would be interesting for visitors to learn more about it," she said. Continue reading (Incl.

He told reporters this when met at Assistant Minister of Education and Technological Research Dr Annuar Rapaee’s Hari Raya open house here on Tuesday. “Sibu-KK sector is included in MASwings contract with the Ministry of Transport under rural air service classification. “What the Sibu business community wants is a jetliner to service this particular route. “The Chinese and Bumiputera business communities sent a joint letter to Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg last month to ask for this commercial sector serviced by a jetliner such as AirAsia. “This is because MASwings’ service is poor and compounded with restricted capacity, it is going to affect the business communication and tourist arrivals. “Don’t give it as an exclusive right for MASwings,” he said. He said the joint letter was from Sibu Chinese community (represented by SCCCI), Dewan Usahawan Bumiputera and Dayak Chamber of Commerce. Dr Hii noted that the new arrangement for extension between the ministry and MASwings would take effect from Jan 1, 2018 for a period of seven years but the finer details were yet to be finalised.

Now in its 20th edition, the festival aims to increase its environmental sustainability, contributing not only to the preservation of culture and art but also nature. “The festival is uniquely positioned, as a locally held and internationally recognised event, to create a positive social, environmental and economic impact that can benefit the Sarawak people,” Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) events and corporate relations director Angelina Bateman said in a statement. The green initiatives taken by festival organiser STB include providing shuttle buses to reduce carbon emission as well as waste segregation at the venue. In 2011, a tree-planting initiative was introduced, giving performers, sponsors and volunteers the opportunity to contribute to the local ecosystem. Last year, STB expanded its green activities by collaborating with social enterprise Biji Biji Initiative to implement food waste management at the festival. Over 300kg of food waste was collected, of which 195kg was used for compost. Continue reading (Incl.

We were scouring the internet for the cheapest flights to tropical destinations throughout Asia, and stumbled across Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Now, Malaysia had never really been a priority destination for either of us, but after some research, we realised it was the gate to Borneo. Orangutans, elephants and peaceful riverboat cruises? Done deal. We flew to Kota Kinabalu straight from Hong Kong, and caught a connecting flight to Sandakan for our Bornean adventure. Sandakan is by no means a city with plenty to do, nevertheless, we decided to explore, so headed straight to the waterfront. We stumbled upon countless shops stocking bootlegged items and were overwhelmed with the smell of spices which filled the air. After a light dinner, it was time to return to the hotel and relax before our jungle adventure. After breakfast, we were picked up by our tour company. A quick briefing later, we sped off towards the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. This was such a wonderful experience. First, we headed to the Outdoor Nursery. Juvenile orangutans are fed here, and visitors are able to watch their feeding from behind sound-proof glass. We saw one small female swinging in to grab some fruit. She spent a little time hanging around but was soon off on her way back into the jungle. Continue reading (Incl.

The Trusan Sugut Forest Reserve (Trusan Sugut FR) in the state’s north-eastern part, which is home to 365 butterfly species, 57 types of amphibians, 103 reptile species, 335 bird varieties and 168 kinds of mammals, was recently elevated from a Class II to Class I (totally protected area) forest reserve. However, The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Malaysia says there is still much to be done in terms of restoring the forest. Its executive director and chief executive officer Datuk Dr Dionysius Sharma said the 8,690ha forest reserve was severely degraded in many parts due to human activity. He said natural regeneration took a long time and usually, the altered conditions did not suit the orang utan and other wildlife. “We intend to lend nature a helping hand, and urge the public to support our fundraising efforts for Sabah’s wildlife haven,” he said in a statement. The Trusan Sugut FR houses iconic wildlife such as the proboscis monkey, banteng, Bornean orangutan and Sundaland clouded leopard, among others. In terms of habitat, the forest reserve also boasts of various forest types including endangered ones such as lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, a variant of which is the kapur (limestone) forest, lowland kerangas (heath) forest, lowland peat swamp forest, and lowland freshwater swamp forest. WWF-Malaysia senior programme officer for orangutan conservation Donna Simon said some parts of Trusan Sugut FR occupied by Bornean orangutan had become severely degraded due to past logging activities and fires. “We are keen to help the Sabah Forestry Department restore the landscape with native and fast-growing tree species,” she said.

Mum had organised a 10 day tour of Borneo through Intrepid Travel so we had to at back and be led around the island. We got to the hotel and had the day to kill before meeting our guide and the rest of our group. We opted to fill that time with a relaxing massage. Well it was supposed to be relaxing, I had a hot stone massage, mum and head neck and shoulders. The ambiance of my massage was constantly interrupted by giggles, oofs and ahhhs coming from mums bed next door. Not sure mum enjoyed it too much, saying that she didn’t have as many knots in the shoulders afterwards! We met our group the following day, 8 Australians, 2 Americans and us 2 brits. We would be lead by our guide Aldrin. We made our introductions and sat and listened to the tour itinerary. Due to the nature of the “comfort” tour, many of our fellow tourists were a bit older, and the itinerary was suited to an older clientele. It was perfect for mum, maybe a bit restrictive for me but we would have fun. After introductions we grabbed some much needed zs. I awoke early the following day, and decided to start my 29th year as I meant it to go on, by a morning trip to the hotel gym! We jumped on a bus and headed a few hours out of KK towards mount Kinabalu. We spent some time at a stunning viewpoint enjoying the imposing view of the mountains before heading out to a local town. We had a lovely walk through the town, seeing all the local fruits growing, including some juicy looking pineapples! The walk was topped off by some wonderful home cooked lunch, at a locals house. We got to learn about the local culture and way of life. We followed lunch with a hike around the Kinabalu mountain national park. While I would have loved to have climbed the mountain mum wouldn’t have managed to get to the top. It was a 2 night trek. We settled for the hour long hike around. It was a nice walk. I’m incredibly proud of mum for how she did. It wasn’t an easy walk, it was a hot day, hiking through slippery and uneven ground, and she smashed it. Continue reading (Incl.

However, I discovered a completely different side of Borneo. I chose to fly out to and stay in Kota Kinabalu. Kota Kinabalu is on the ocean side of the island, so, instead of lush rain forests, Aidan and I had paradise like Islands around us and so, we spend most of our time there in the water. I am personally not a big fan of booking tours ahead of time, because you always end up paying more. What I like to do, is take the time and have a look around and that is exactly what we did. At first, we came across a travel agent, who showed us all the tours he could book for us, among which were several island-hopping tours. After seeing the options, I decided that a trip to the harbour would be the best, to find out about their offers. Our two-star hotel was not just clean and very concerned with our well-being, they were also very centrally located and so we only had a 20-minute walk to the harbour. We entered a big hall, were many boat and business owners were vying for the attention of the tourists. We ended up booking an island-hopping tour for in a couple of days, with pick up from the hotel and for Aidan snorkel gear hire (I had my own snorkel gear). The next day, when we walked around and thought about what else we wanted to do, someone on the streets approached us and offered us a very cheap diving tour. We took his card, but I knew that we would never accept the offer. When it comes to diving, I rather do it with an established and professional business because of the risks involved. We went back to the first travel agent and booked a diving tour with him, which was still incredibly cheap compared to Australian standards. Continue reading (Incl.

DBNA president Datu Ik Pahon Joyik said the association was still collecting feedback to improve the museum which was soft-launched yesterday by Minister of Education, Science and Technological Research Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong. He said visitors to DBNA and the restaurant located within its headquarters can visit the museum soon, especially for those who want to do research on the Bidayuh community. “One of the purposes for this Baruk was as a collection centre for culture and heritage of the Bidayuhs. In the past two to three years, we have been looking at all our files and archives, to see what are the relevant documents that are relevant to DBNA which we can exhibit, and we have also set up a special committee on this. “The DBNA museum is more pictorial (in its presentation), to relate how we started in 1955, who were the leaders then, the programmes and activities done by them and how we have progressed,” he told reporters when met during the DBNA’s triennial general assembly yesterday. He revealed plans to expand the content of the museum to include map showing the population and demographic distribution of the Bidayuh, as well as to feature photos and biodata of successful members of the Bidayuh community.

Registration for the ecotourism event by communities living in the highlands is open until the end of this month. A press release yesterday said the highlands of Sarawak, Sabah and North Kalimantan are dotted with ancient stone monuments or megaliths, with over 40 sites and about 100 earth-made effigies. Event director and Alliance of the Indigenous Peoples in the Highlands of Borneo (Formadat) Sarawak deputy chairman John Tarawe said the first Heart of Borneo Highlands Eco Challenge took place in 2015 and the trekking route was from Ba Kelalan to Mount Murud Church Camp, and ended in Bario. He said this time around, the Eco Challenge routes are expanded to the highlands in Long Pa Sia, Sabah and Krayan, Indonesia. “This event is special because it is the only cross-boundary event to be held in the highlands, deep in the Heart of Borneo. Furthermore, this year’s event reflects the spirit of Formadat’s slogan ‘Perurum, Selawe, Meruked’, which means unity,” he said. “We are brothers and sisters divided by regional and international borders. We share a common heritage and land as the Lun Dayeh, Kelabit, Lun Bawang, and Saban people. I hope this biennial ecotourism event will bring us together to work, protect our remaining forests, enhance security along the borders and our home within the highlands area.” Continue reading (Incl.

And Kota Kinabalu is just the tip of the state’s jungle-clad destination iceberg. Like meeting new people, first impressions of a new destination weigh heavily in my initial decision as to whether I like a place or not. But my first impressions of Kota Kinabalu? I had imagined something completely different. My pre-imagined trip to Kota Kinabalu included dense, steamy jungles, adorable orangutans and a massive, snow-capped mountain. I had imagined sherpas milling about among adventure seeking tourists. I had imagined the ho hum culinary offerings of a land spoilt by their popularity. I had imagined plenty of kitschy souvenirs for sale alongside unenthusiastic vendors, indifferent to the massive daily arrival of tourists like me. What was the reality? I found Kota Kinabalu to be a fascinating city which sparkles with community pride. It became apparent quickly that the Malaysian state of Sabah deserved some serious future exploration, but for an initiation Kota Kinabalu and the surrounding area is a great place to start. But even Kota Kinabalu deserved more than just one week. The history of Kota Kinabalu is fascinating as well as complicated. Much like the rest of Malaysia, it involves British colonialists, unhappy locals and the horrors of WWII. Kota Kinabalu, once known as Jesselton, is the state capital of Sabah; the second largest of the 13 states of Malaysia. It wasn’t until August 31st 1963 that North Borneo (as it was previously known) became independent of the British Empire. Shortly thereafter (newly named) Sabah, was united with Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore, to form the Federation of Malaysia on September 16, 1963. It wasn’t until August 1965 that Singapore was encouraged to leave the federation (to do their own thing) and the rest is history. This is all part and parcel for the melting pot of Malaysia and perhaps even more so for Sabah. Here are a few of my discoveries during a week-long visit to Kota Kinabalu and my first visit to the land below the wind. THE SABAHAN WELCOME WAGON The people of Sabah are known as Sabahans. There are 32 recognized ethnic groups in Sabah, with the largest indigenous group being the Kadazan-Dusun people in addition to the Bajau and Murut people. The largest non-indigenous ethnic group are the Chinese. Kota Kinabalu’s charming melting pot of people won me over from the get go. Although I was with a local guide for many of my excursions, I did have ample opportunity to mix and mingle with locals on my own. There was absolutely no change in the genuine friendliness of everyone who I encountered. Plus, they are very easy to communicate with! English is widely spoken, in addition to the Sabahans’ own mother tongues, Bahasa Malaysia (the national language) as well as Mandarin and other Chinese dialects. Continue reading (Incl.

In a statement yesterday, Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) said the sessions will be hosted by the Sarawak Shenlong Tai-Chi Chuan Society led by instructor Lai Cho Sin. Open to all ages and any level of physical fitness, the tai chi sessions will be held in the mornings of the three-day festival at the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) festival ground. Tai chi is a mind-body exercise classified as a martial art, with principles of relaxation that can be applied in daily life. Thanks to its low-impact and slow movements, tai chi is not taxing on the body. The Sarawak Shenlong Tai-Chi Chuan Society was established in 1988 under master Wu Kuo-Chung.

Kinabalu, You May Have Won the Battle, But If I Were Fitter, I Could Maybe Win the War At 2am this morning the sky was clear, the stars were out and it seemed almost ashame to let a mountain with a crying problem defeat me. So, with the help of a dry pair of pants (courtesy of our guide) and borrowed plastic bags to cover my socks in an attempt to keep my feet dry, I joined our group and trekked toward the summit. We hiked in the dark for three hours, the ultimate sneak attack, somehow hoping that the mountain didn’t notice 105 headlamps pointed her way, or a 210 feet clamering about on what I can only assume was her chest cavity. Miraculously, after pouring her heart out yesterday, she was feeling in a generous mood and rewarded our climb with ridiculously gorgeous views – she let every one of us trample on her rocks, pull on the ropes whose lines were drilled into her, and then scramble up her head to take pictures. Incidentally, this was not a quick invasion – half way through the ropes bit, I thought my arms would give out, and by the time we got to the peak, we all needed to stop every five rocks. The invasion was more the “let’s plod along and see how we go” variety. Continue reading (Incl. Pics) at: BeyondTheOffice: Mt.

Kinabalu, You may be the highest peak in South East Asia and maybe you’re used to hearing people say how beautiful you are, and how your views are stunning – but sometimes you need to hear from the people who you beat down, whose will power you took so easily, as though it were a muffin from a buffet table. I’m sure on a normal day, hiking the 6km (as the crow flies) up to the lodge would be doable, and beautiful. It would be a day filled with clouds, giant trees, sunshine and sweaty people. But, this was not a normal day – today you decided to pour out rain as though this were a rainforest plagued with a drought and you had one day to fix the problem. Today was the day you made me question my faith in dry bags and anything sold as “water proof”. Today was a day that would have had weathermen named “Storm” out in giant yellow ponchos to report on the extraordinary amount of rain and interview the 105 climbers on whether (ha) the rain was a factor in them being cold: “do you think you would be this cold if it werent raining nonstop for five hours?” And then say, “now, back to the studio, where it’s dry as a hay stack in summer.” Continue reading (Incl.

The provincial affairs minister, together with her entourage, made a pit stop in Sarawak to search for an “indigenous set-up of cultural tourism” module, which perhaps, could be applied in Bulawayo, which is the second largest city in Zimbabwe. Sandi-Moyo’s group did not know what to expect when they arrived at Kuching International Airport as the trip was their first to the Land of the Hornbills. “All I see are wonders, including the warmth of the people here,” she said at a dinner hosted by the state government in conjunction with her visit on March 17. All this while, she had only heard about and adored the greenery of the forests and richness of Sarawak’s biodiversity from advertisements on television and in magazines. Her appreciation of natural resources was understandable as Bulawoyo is also the gateway to Matobo National Park — a 44,500ha reserve housing the Matobo Hills rock formations and stone age cave art, which were recognised as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation World Heritage Site in 2003. She also spoke on the richness of the diverse cultures in Sarawak, which she concluded after the group’s visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village in Santubong and a handicraft centre in Petra Jaya. “What is great about your state is you keep welcoming. There is so much that I want to say. “We are so amazed that we want to be the ambassador to those who have not visited the state before,” said Sandi-Moyo in calling for collaborations between Sarawak and Bulawoyo to promote tourism in both places. Sandi-Moyo’s views on Sarawak had been expressed by many international and local figures, who were impressed with the state’s natural treasures and its racial integration among people from diverse cultures. Among them was 1Malaysia Foundation trustee Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, who acknowledged that the integration of various ethnic groups had helped to develop the state in many sectors, including tourism. “Apart from Sabah, Sarawak is a good example of what the people can do to bring about greater integration and unity in helping to promote moderation.” Lee said this was among the reasons that compelled the foundation to declare Kuching the first “City of Unity” in the country.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad Kuching senior manager Mohd Nadzim Hashim said the other over 4.5 million passengers travelled from KIA to a destination within Malaysia. As such, he explained the airport had difficulty getting operators to run stalls at the international departure hall. “I can understand the frustration of these international travellers once they are inside the holding room, so much so when they are looking through the glass wall, noticing all the activities occurring at the domestic departure hall,” he said during a tour of KIA for The Borneo Post yesterday. He was commenting on complaints that international flight passengers were not allowed access to many shops, eateries, and toilets available to domestic passengers. Continue reading (Incl.

It is quite an interesting place… It reminds me a lot of Honolulu, just a lot smaller. It is a city with traffic and trash and all that, but there are hoards of tourists and it has that laid back vacation all the time feeling. Honestly, I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either. I was there for a quick trip, so I missed a lot, but, I’m happy to share 5 Things I Did in Kota Kinabalu. 1. Mari Mari Cultural Village. Sabah is home to more than 40 different tribes, all with different language, culture, and history. At the Mari Mari Cultural Village, you get to experience 5 of the largest tribes. The village features traditional houses, food, crafts, costumes, and dance of each tribe. You walk around the village with a guide who explains a bit about each tribe and answers questions. You also get to taste something in each place, like raw honey, rice wine, and some sweet treats. At the end of the tour, there’s a dance performance and a buffet style lunch. It’s definitely a must see if you visit Kota Kinabalu. The village is about 45 minutes from the city center, so you will need your own transportation or book with a tour company.

Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said the negotiations “are now in the process” but he cannot disclose any information yet. “We are now in the process of negotiations with AirAsia,” he said when asked if there was a plan to build an LCCT here when met by reporters after attending a function at SK Rakyat in Satok yesterday. Abang Johari said the site for the proposed LCCT had “more or less” been identified but it was “not confirmed yet”. Asked whether he could disclose the proposed site, he replied: “Near the airport (Kuching International Airport – KIA) lah.” On June 8, Minister of Sarawak Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said he was in favour of having an LCCT if the proposed facility could facilitate the growth of tourism industry in the state. “If a separate LCCT building could expedite and facilitate the growth of tourism industry in Sarawak, of course it would be good to have it,” he said.

Sabah), most of my trips are circling around Southeast Asia and the most common thing you can find there are tropical islands. Kota Kinabalu is a developing city, hence the living pace is really slow and chill, which is a perfect place for vacation. The Mantanani Island we went to is quite different from all the other beaches I have been to before, fewer people and watersports, more silence and relaxation. The blue sky and the clear water is a perfect match, surely is an eye candy. The water is very see-through but not as many fishes compared to beaches in Phuket. In Phuket, you can see fishes when there is water, they will come in groups to bite you, thinking you as food. However, I am a snorkeling-lover so we took a speedboat away from the island to explore the sea anyway. There are many fishes once the sea level reaches around 10m and they are all very fascinating.

Organised by North Borneo Explorer Sdn Bhd, Trans Borneo 2017 which carries the theme ‘Into the Heart of Borneo (The last frontier)’ will see participants travelling all three countries on the island of Borneo. Organising chairman Anuar Ghani told a press conference that the road adventure will start from Sabah, crossing into Kalimantan Utara and Kalimantan Timur before moving westwards across one of the last frontiers in Borneo, from Malinau to Ba’kelalan in Sarawak. The objectives of the event includes promoting travel and tourism within the three countries’ region in Borneo especially to promote the potential adventure tourism in east Kalimantan to international audience. “We also aim to strengthen relationshop between the three countries as well as among the BIMP-Eaga members,” he said adding that the event will also challenge men and machine against the great outdoors while enjoying adventure. According to him Trans Borneo 2017 is also promoting culture, history, adventure, agriculture and nature in Borneo Island. “We will have among us, a media team from Australia who will be filming the event for a television outdoor series. They are thrilled to know that the route we will be taking is the Death March trail. So they will incorporate the historical part of the event into their program. “They will also be visiting the war memorials in Kundasang, Sabah Tea and Sandakan where there will be a ceremony to commemorate the death march,” Anuar said.

Speaking at a press conference in his office yesterday, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah hoped for more such annual events in Sarawak which is rich in arts, culture and nature. Presently Sarawak’s annual Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) attracts tourists from around the world, but the government is promoting a new festival that can do the same, namely the Rainforest Fringe Festival (RFF) to be held at the The Old Court House, Sarawak Tourism Complex. “RWMF has proved to be a success and I think it’s time for us to introduce another festival. This year the RFF will be held in the heart of Kuching city,” he added. According to Karim, RWMF is a music festival while RFF promotes and celebrates Sarawak arts and culture, artists and artistes. He believes the inaugural RFF will be a platform for Sarawakian artists and artistes to showcase their talent. “RFF will reflect Sarawak’s rich identity when it is held here (in Kuching) next month from July 7 to 16. Those interested in arts and culture should take time to check out this festival,” he said. He believes Sarawakians have a lot to offer in terms of arts and culture, and the state government welcomes anyone wishing to promote them. The highlights of the RFF next month include an evening concert that features an eclectic mix of Sarawak’s local talent as well as an array of homegrown artists to present their work at The Old Court House, Sarawak Tourism Complex.

According to Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) director Dr Benoit Goossens at the closing of a three-day workshop on how to protect the species yesterday, they will be preparing the draft skeleton on the action plan and will be submitting the final draft to the Sabah Wildlife Department which will then be presented to the State Government for endorsement. “We are likely to launch it by 2018,” he said. He added that their objective is to ensure the clouded leopard continued to exist in years to come and are preserved. At the same time, he also hoped that the public would become more aware of the clouded leopard, which is presently the least known cat in the world. He added that Sabah has five wild cats, one of which was the clouded leopard. “It is the biggest cat in Borneo,” he said. Benoit also said that it was imperative that Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) continued on with their enforcement activities as the cats were vulnerable to illegal hunters and poachers. Among the recommendations made during the workshop were the study on the impact of domestic dogs and cats that were brought in by hunters to the jungle, on the clouded leopards.

If you are visiting the Tip of Borneo and are wondering where to stay, you should check out Hibiscus Beach Retreat. We stayed in Treetops, a one bed chalet (with a day bed and pull out bed so it can accommodate up to four people) in the most stunning location. Our taxi dropped us off at the bottom of a small pathway into the jungle vegetation. I could hardly fathom that there was accommodation just a three minute ‘trek’ away. But there was… nestled within the lush green jungle with the music of the wildlife mixed with the roar of crashing waves (we couldn’t see the sea at this stage but we could hear it). It’s a three minute walk to its own white sand private beach, shared only with the other accommodation. Room: Treetops is a chalet comprised of one large room with a double bed (with mosquito net), a daybed and a roll out extra bed. It has a tiny kitchen with a fridge, toaster and kettle and an equally tiny but modern bathroom with a shower, loo and sink. The chalet has a decent sized balcony with two sun loungers and a table with four chairs. Continue reading (Incl.

In this context, Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD) has taken the lead role supporting the Danau Girang Field Centre (DGFC) and Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) in preserving the leopard. YSD has been supporting the DGFC since April 2011 with a total commitment of RM3.96 million over a period of six years, to conduct research on three species- Proboscis monkey, Sunda clouded leopard and Bornean banteng. In her speech, YSD Chief Executive Officer, Hajjah Yatela Zainal Abidin, said: “Yayasan Sime Darby is very supportive of these important environment conservation causes and since 2009, we have committed RM131 million under our Environment pillar to support not only initiatives but also crucial research in revitalizing as well as sustaining our ecosystems and the susceptible species that depend on them.” YSD project chief, Muzdalifah Mohd Yasir who delivered Yatela’s speech at the Clouded Leopard International Workshop and Conference, here yesterday, said it is extending a support of RM1.46 million to support the cause and save the Sunda clouded leopard from extinction. Muzdalifah also added that the Sunda clouded leopard research has had a very encouraging start. “Four clouded leopards has been collared to assist in spatial research on the effects of multiple landscape features on their movement in fragmented and protected area within the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary,” she said. Meanwhile, SWD official, Mohd Soffian Abu Bakar said that all the protected Sunda clouded leopards can be tracked and observed frequently via satellite collars attached to the animals. “On our part, we (Sabah Wildlife Department) also visit schools around the Kinabatangan area and we also do an exhibition field trip to create community awareness,” he said.

Explore the last stronghold of Bornean primary rainforest – the real jungle – in Danum Valley, make a record in orangutan spotting on tranquil river cruises along Kinabatangan, unwind on a secluded paradise island snorkeling with turtles, visit orangutan sanctuaries, and indulge in Bornean cuisine and cultural treats in the charming cities. Along the way, you can choose between world-class hiking, snorkeling, and wildlife spotting – or just opt to sit back and enjoy the sceneries. This two-week route maximizes the chances to find funny-looking proboscis monkeys, orangutans and rare Borneo pygmy elephants in the wild – astonishingly, we saw the latter three times! The pace is leisure, so following this 2-week itinerary will set you to relaxed vacation mode. But at the same time, you’ll pack in a lot in terms of truly experiencing all the different flavors of Borneo. Let’s take off! Sepilok: Introduction to Borneo with Orangutans, Sun Bears, and Giant Flying Squirrels (2 nights) Sepilok is a perfect spot to start your journey, as it allows you to avoid starting and ending your trip in Kota Kinabalu. When time is short, every night counts! Internal flight from Kota Kinabalu (where your international flight lands) to a nearby coastal city of Sandakan takes just 45 minutes, and from there it’s just less than 30 minutes’ taxi drive to Sepilok. But why Sepilok? Choose a resort that is tucked away from it all and a room facing the rainforest and sleep away your jetlag. Wake up to the sounds of exotic birds and enjoy breakfast outdoors while spotting monkeys in the trees. Then head to the world-famous orangutan sanctuary to witness semi-wild red-furred cousins swinging to the feeding platforms for their lunch. Still not completely charged up? What about visiting orangutan nursery and watching babies wrestling and chasing each other? Continue reading (Incl.

We had a fantastic start to our holiday at the Shangri-La in Bangkok and so we had high expectations for our two nights at the Shangri-la Rasa Ria Resort. Situated amid the lush tropical vegetation and crystal clear seas of Pantai Dalit, the resort comprises of 499 rooms and suites. It’s split into two sections – the Garden Wing and the Ocean Wing. We had an Ocean Wing room with a gorgeous room, the biggest bed I’ve ever seen and a day bed. The best bit about the room is the balcony with its gorgeous beach views. It’s a spacious area with a love seat, a table and chairs and an oversized bath with the best view of the stunning sunset. Customer service plays a massive role in my high expectations of the Shangri-La. The Rasa Ria didn’t disappoint. The staff members were friendly, attentive without being intrusive. Everyone says hello with a smile and eye contact when passing and many greeted us and the kids by name. It was very impressive and as a result we were made to feel part of the family, which is an instant winner for me. Continue reading (Incl.

The new dive site, located over 40 nautical miles off north Labuan was first discovered about five years ago by an engineer turned boat operator Ahmad Nasir Othman, 60, who has been taking anglers there. However, it was Clement Lee, and his diving colleagues who explored the pristine reef for the first time in April 2017. The Labuan born Lee, 65, is the Tourism Malaysia Ambassador for the diving segment (2017-2019) and is an internationally renowned diver as well. Based on his observation there, he believes the dive site has the potential to be on par with other popular scuba dive sites across the globe. “The new dive site has its own uniqueness compared with other internationally renowned dive sites and it is certainly a great site to be explored,” he said adding that this new dive site is different from the much sought after dive sites of Sipadan and Mabul islands in Sabah when it comes to the marine species and underwater landscape. The Vernon Bank is stated in the old British admiralty charts and publication and the site has a number of rare marine species like the porcelain crab, fishes like the bubble Goby and the colourful Nudi branch among others. Vernon Bank’s uniqueness Under good weather, with a twin engine 115HP boat, the journey to Vernon Bank from the Labuan marine jetty takes about one and half hours. “I did not discover the Vernon Bank site but we heard of it many months ago. Hence, we have been planning to dive at the site since last year with our diving team. “Yet we had to postpone our intention many times due to our tight schedule and the weather. “Me and the other divers including Miri based Co.Co.Dive general manager, Ross Kelly, and the diving centre’s Labuan-based manager Roy Jak Ngau finally reached Vernon Bank on April 26 and again on May 1.” Continue reading (Incl.

Some folks said the name of the city was derived from a tropical fruit called “Mata Kuching” (cat’s eye fruit), widely available in Malaysia and Indonesia. But much has also been said as to how the city got its name – Kuching means “cat” in Malay language and the city is littered with dozens of cat statues at every corner. Like the cat statue (pictured below) seen at the entrance of Chinatown in Kuching. But the city began its roots as a trading post that was built by a British man called Sir James Brooke, the first white rajah (king) who ruled Sarawak from 1842 until he died in 1868, at the age of 65. Visiting Kuching tells me of a time that’s quieter and calmer as the city is not congested with traffic and high rise buildings. From glorious street foods to long walks along Sarawak River taking in the views of fishing boats, old houses and 19th century landmarks, Kuching is a laidback city with small town rustic vibes and friendly locals who love to tell a story or two to travellers who have arrived in their home. What to see: Ethnology Museum, orangutans, crocodiles Located at the top of the hill along Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, the Ethnology Museum was built in 1891 and renovated in 1911, and is regarded as among the oldest museums in Southeast Asia. Here, the spotlight is on Borneo’s incredibly rich indigenous cultures. On the upper floor, the exhibits include a full-sized Iban (an ethnic of Sarawak) longhouse, masks and spears. On the ground floor, which I toured, is an old-fashioned display of a small collection of natural history. On display were stuffed animals from the local area such as birds, snakes, orangutans, cows, tortoises, and more. When in Sarawak, visiting our red head friends at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is a must where you will find Borneo orangutans (“man of the forest” in Malay language) spotting red hair. The sanctuary is half an hour’s drive from Kuching city and another 10 minutes on foot. Here, the orangutans are semi-wild which have been rescued from captivity and trained to survive in the surrounding forest reserve. The rehabilitated animals roam freely in the rainforest and often return to the centre at feeding time. It’s advisable to know there’s no guarantee the orangutans will come out to say hello. Note that the best months to visit are between March and August when food is scarce and they leave inner forest to hunt for food. However at feeding time, there’s a good chance some may venture out for food. There are about 104,700 Bornean orangutans left in the world, according to World Wildlife Fund. At Semenggoh, there are 28 of them. I was lucky to spot four Bornean red heads up close in their natural environment and element – swinging from branch to branch, feasting on bananas and even spotted a mother feeding her baby.

The forests covered by the Heart of Borneo initiative are very important to three countries: Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. The area refers to the mountainous centre of the great island of Borneo. The forests here have indeed fared far better than in the lowlands and coastal areas (where the challenges of deforestation are well known) – that’s the good news so far. Heart of Borneo covers the deep interior areas of Brunei, the Indonesian province of Kalimantan, and the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. In 2007, there was a historic declaration by Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei to conserve an area designated as the Heart of Borneo. Since then, considerable work has been carried out under this initiative by the three governments and their local and international supporters, including WWF. In conjunction with World Environment Day on June 5, WWF-Malaysia and WWF-Indonesia released an executive summary of their upcoming publication titled Environmental Status of Borneo 2016. This provides an overview of the environmental issues in Borneo that can be widely shared to gain collective support to save Borneo’s forests. Borneo is home to a great diversity of plant and animal species, with rich resources for the livelihood of 11 million people. This includes one million indigenous peoples who inhabit the area called the Heart of Borneo, which lies in mountainous, hard-to-access upriver areas. These people have sustainably managed the natural capital here for centuries. “This World Environment Day is a good opportunity to draw attention to the state of the environment that we are passing onto generations to come,” said Datuk Dr Dionysius Sharma, executive director/CEO of WWF-Malaysia.

He said an LCCT could help to facilitate the growth of the tourism industry in Sarawak. “If a separate LCCT building could expedite and facilitate the growth of tourism industry in Sarawak, of course it would be good to have it. “I do not have any detail on this yet. I need to check. If there is, it should be under the purview of the federal government unless the state government decides to be involved,” he said when contacted yesterday on AirAsia Berhad chief executive officer Aireen Omar’s recent statement that Kuching International Airport (KIA) had almost reached its capacity of five million passengers. Abdul Karim said the ministry and other tourism industry players had to go the extra mile to ensure there are more flights for Sarawak. “We have to work harder and bring in more flights and connectivity lest any buildings like this will come to waste and be a white elephant. “Of course if we were to use present number of flights to and from Kuching as a guide, the present KIA is sufficient to handle the volume. But the state government and my ministry are hoping for an increase in tourist arrivals in the coming years. Thus the planning for an LCCT is appropriate. “I am (in favour of an LCCT) if it could bring more benefits to Sarawak and the general public,” he said. He added that Sarawak targeted to receive five million tourists this year compared to 4.6 million tourists last year. Continue reading (Incl.

Turner, MR, Healey, JJ, Sazhin, SS and Piazzesi, R (2012) Wave packet analysis and break--up length calculations for accelerating planar liquid jets. Fluid Dyn Res, 44, 015503. downstream2_unsteady_FDR_2.pdf - Accepted version Manuscript Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0169-5983/44/1/015503 This paper examines the process of transition to turbulence within an accelerating planar liquid jet. By calculating the propagation and spatial evolution of disturbance wave packets generated at a nozzle where the jet emerges, we are able to estimate break-up lengths and break-up times for different magnitudes of acceleration and different liquid to air density ratios. This study uses a basic jet velocity profile that has shear layers in both air and the liquid either side of the fluid interface. The shear layers are constructed as functions of velocity which behave in line with our CFD simulations of injecting diesel jets. The non-dimensional velocity of the jet along the jet centre-line axis is assumed to take the form V (t) = tanh(at), where the parameter a determines the magnitude of the acceleration. We compare the fully unsteady results obtained by solving the unsteady Rayleigh equation to those of a quasi-steady jet to determine when the unsteady effects are significant and whether the jet can be regarded as quasi-steady in typical operating conditions for diesel engines. For a heavy fluid injecting into a lighter fluid (density ratio ρair/ρjet = q < 1), it is found that unsteady effects are mainly significant at early injection times where the jet velocity profile is changing fastest. When the shear layers in the jet thin with time, the unsteady effects cause the growth rate of the wave packet to be smaller than the corresponding quasi-steady jet, whereas for thickening shear layers the unsteady growth rate is larger than that of the quasi-steady jet. For large accelerations (large a), the unsteady effect remains at later times but its effect on the growth rate of the wave packet decreases as the time after injection increases. As the rate of acceleration is reduced, the range of velocity values for which the jet can be considered as quasi-steady increases until eventually the whole jet can be considered quasi-steady. For a homogeneous jet (q = 1), the range of values of a for which the jet can be considered completely quasi-steady increases to larger values of a. Finally, we investigate approximating the wave packet break-up length calculations with a method that follows the most unstable disturbance wave as the jet accelerates. This approach is similar to that used in CFD simulations as it greatly reduces computational time. We investigate whether or not this is a good approximation for the parameter values typically used in diesel engines.

Thu Dec 18, 8:46 pm ET ROGERS, Ark. – An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child. Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. "The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters." The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters. Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night. "We both would love to have more," he said. The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars, called "17 Kids and Counting." Chris Finnegan of TLC — which handles public relations for the Duggar family — said the show's name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby's delivery. Jim Bob Duggar is 43, a year older than his wife. Their oldest child, Joshua, is 20. The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jordyn-Grace, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 8; James, 7; Justin, 6; Jackson, 4; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 1. "Our whole family is excited about Jordyn's addition to our family," Jim Bob Duggar said. "She's just perfect in every way."

It's the ultimate two player adventure. Matt 'Soul Funk' Farrell Siblings fight. I think its just human nature. Me and my sister used to fight about anything and everything. One thing that we could always agree on though was ToeJam and Earl. It's the ultimate two player adventure. ToeJam and Earl are two funky aliens who have crash landed on earth and need to find several pieces of their rocket ship to get back to Funkatron (yes, this is what their home planet is called). This is no ordinary earth though. The view is isometric, and the levels are set out as if they are part of a department store, with a lift being the exit of each level which will take you to the next floor. This does sound a little crazy, but believe me, its nothing compared to the rest of the game. To help you along the way, you will stumble upon presents. You can open these presents at any time and they will either help or hinder you as there contents are hidden until you open a present of that type. Take the Icarus wings for example. Once opened you get the power of flight for a short period of time. This can obviously help you get out of some tricky situations. Then again you might open a pair of rocket skates, which send you flying off the edge of the map and back down to the level below. The beauty of this though is the risk factor. it's a brilliant mechanic which keeps the game constantly fresh. The biggest thing which keeps this game fresh though is the option to start the game with a random world. This means the levels are generated randomly each time you play, meaning that every game is new. Imagine being able to play sonic with a random levels each time you played. its helps add to its lastability. Then there's the cherry on top of the cake. The music. I love the soundtrack. Every track has a funky jazzy vibe to it which adds to the aliens personalities. Its definitely one of the best soundtracks on the Megadrive and really shows off what the sound chip can do.The game did spawn a sequel on the Megadrive, ToeJam and Earl - Panic on Funkatron, which was just as funky but changed to a side scrolling adventure, which I personally thought removed the best aspect of the game in its randomly generated isometric worlds. It wasn't until ToeJam and Earl III came out on the original Xbox that it went back to it's roots. Whenever I think of this game I just can't be reminded of why I play games in the first place. For FUN. This is pure fun in a Megadrive cartridge and your doing yourself a disservice if you don't play it.

As always, you can see what I find interesting on a daily basis categories: links Economics of the First Thanksgiving Here is the real lesson, posted in full, of the Pilgrams' food shortages: Feast and football. That’s what many of us think about at Thanksgiving. Most people identify the origin of the holiday with the Pilgrims’ first bountiful harvest. But few understand how the Pilgrims actually solved their chronic food shortages. Many people believe that after suffering through a severe winter, the Pilgrims’ food shortages were resolved the following spring when the Native Americans taught them to plant corn and a Thanksgiving celebration resulted. In fact, the pilgrims continued to face chronic food shortages for three years until the harvest of 1623. Bad weather or lack of farming knowledge did not cause the pilgrims’ shortages. Bad economic incentives did. In 1620 Plymouth Plantation was founded with a system of communal property rights. Food and supplies were held in common and then distributed based on equality and need as determined by Plantation officials. People received the same rations whether or not they contributed to producing the food, and residents were forbidden from producing their own food. Governor William Bradford, in his 1647 history, Of Plymouth Plantation, wrote that this system was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. The problem was that young men, that were most able and fit for labour, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense. Because of the poor incentives, little food was produced. Faced with potential starvation in the spring of 1623, the colony decided to implement a new economic system. Every family was assigned a private parcel of land. They could then keep all they grew for themselves, but now they alone were responsible for feeding themselves. While not a complete private property system, the move away from communal ownership had dramatic results. This change, Bradford wrote, had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. Giving people economic incentives changed their behavior. Once the new system of property rights was in place, the women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability. Once the Pilgrims in the Plymouth Plantation abandoned their communal economic system and adopted one with greater individual property rights, they never again faced the starvation and food shortages of the first three years. It was only after allowing greater property rights that they could feast without worrying that famine was just around the corner. We are direct beneficiaries of the economics lesson the pilgrims learned in 1623. Today we have a much better developed and well-defined set of property rights. Our economic system offers incentives for us—in the form of prices and profits—to coordinate our individual behavior for the mutual benefit of all; even those we may not personally know. It is customary in many families to give thanks to the hands that prepared this feast during the Thanksgiving dinner blessing. Perhaps we should also be thankful for the millions of other hands that helped get the dinner to the table: the grocer who sold us the turkey, the truck driver who delivered it to the store, and the farmer who raised it all contributed to our Thanksgiving dinner because our economic system rewards them. That’s the real lesson of Thanksgiving. The economic incentives provided by private competitive markets where people are left free to make their own choices make bountiful feasts possible. categories: culture, economics, economics of, history Who Caused the Economic Crisis? Below is one of the best lists of who's to blame. Thanks to Justin for the pointer. I do think the blame set on consumers and businesses is a little unfair. They were only following the incentives set up for them by government. Then again, government officials were just following their incentives set up by voters. * The Federal Reserve, which slashed interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst, making credit cheap. * Home buyers, who took advantage of easy credit to bid up the prices of homes excessively. * Congress, which continues to support a mortgage tax deduction that gives consumers a tax incentive to buy more expensive houses. * Real estate agents, most of whom work for the sellers rather than the buyers and who earned higher commissions from selling more expensive homes. * The Clinton administration, which pushed for less stringent credit and downpayment requirements for working- and middle-class families. * Mortgage brokers, who offered less-credit-worthy home buyers subprime, adjustable rate loans with low initial payments, but exploding interest rates. * Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages. * Wall Street firms, who paid too little attention to the quality of the risky loans that they bundled into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), and issued bonds using those securities as collateral. * The Bush administration, which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market. * An obscure accounting rule called mark-to-market, which can have the paradoxical result of making assets be worth less on paper than they are in reality during times of panic. * Collective delusion, or a belief on the part of all parties that home prices would keep rising forever, no matter how high or how fast they had already gone up. categories: economics, politics The Gold Standard Debate If you remember back to the presidential primaries my favorite public servant Ron Paul continually brought up the topic of the gold standard. Briefly, this is a monetary system in which paper notes (dollars) are freely convertible into fixed quantities of gold. This is different than the system used all over the world today, fiat currency . Here your money has no intrinsic value, only the mandate from the government that it must be accepted. For a brief history of the US dollar watch Part 1 of this video. Part 2 gives the usual arguments for the gold standard. The main complaint about our current system is that is allows for too much government involvement. We've seen countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe fall apart because the government prints too much money. Inflation is essentially an undercover tax. The more money that is printed, the less value your money has. Governments are able to bypass usual taxation roadblocks and do what they want. This is why Ron Paul says the gold standard can be so helpful. Tie money to a real resource and it takes the power out of the government's hand. In many ways Mr. Paul is right. The gold standard allows for less government meddling and the worry of inflation becomes extinct. But there is one major flaw to this argument. The fiat system relies on a credible government that promises to never dilute the money supply. However, a nation on the gold standard essentially relies on the same thing. A country that changes to the gold standard can just as easily change back. So again, the system is based on the reliability of the government. However, I am willing to recognize that the gold standard can place one extra obstruction to bad policy, but it's not the solution. The solution is to have a government with strong barriers to government interference. This can be done through strong constitution, which the US has one of the strongest (for being a relatively young nation we have one of the oldest surviving constitutions). A credible government can also be created by an effective press. With all the complaints against our media, it is still comparably free (Russia recently banned the use of "crisis" and "decline" on TV). A final way to ensure an effective government is to become educated on the issues and voice them. Hence this blog post. Can Zombies Predict a Recession? I may be excited about American cultural drama Revolutionary Road, but I have to admit that doesn't necessarily give an honest window into my movie tastes. One of my entertainment guilty pleasures is zombie flicks, but maybe there is more social commentary than you think. It seems the production of zombie movies is correlated with social upheaval (click to enlarge): categories: economics, entertainment, recession Mark Sanford, a Republican Worth Reading I mentioned earlier this year that my home states' governor Mark Sanford was proposed as a possible Veep pick for John McCain. Now The Economist has Sanford on their short list of suggestions for top dog in 2012. This especially excites me when he writes things like this: Several questions led me to oppose bailing out the states. They are worth asking, even if you supported bailing out Wall Street. Who bails out the "bail-outor"? Washington is short on cash these days and will borrow every dime of the $150 billion to $300 billion for the "stimulus" bill now being worked on. Federal appetites may know no bounds. But the federal government's ability to borrow is not limitless. Already, our nation's unfunded liabilities total $52 trillion -- about $450,000 per household. There's something very strange about issuing debt to solve a problem caused by too much debt. Do you now have to be a financial "bad boy" to win? Community bankers tell me that they are now at a competitive disadvantage for being careful about who to lend to, because others that were less disciplined will get a federal bailout. This is also true for states. Those that have been fiscally responsible will pay for or lose out to the big spenders. California increased spending 95% over the past 10 years (federal spending went up 71% over the same period). To bail out California now seems unfair to fiscally prudent states. categories: economics, politics, stimulus Revolutionary Road, The Movie I can't remember the last time I wanted to see a movie this much. Why Did 122,842,625 Other People Vote? I mentioned recently why I voted, but why did every else vote? Stephen and Steven, authors of the popular book Freakonomics, have an answer: The Swiss love to vote - on parliamentary elections, on plebiscites, on whatever may arise. But voter participation had begun to slip over the years (maybe they stopped handing out live pigs there too), so a new option was introduced: the mail-in ballot. Whereas each voter in the U.S. must register, that isn't the case in Switzerland. Every eligible Swiss citizen began to automatically receive a ballot in the mail, which could then be completed and returned by mail. Never again would any Swiss voter have to tromp to the polls during a rainstorm; the cost of casting a ballot had been lowered significantly. An economic model would therefore predict voter turnout to increase substantially. Is that what happened? It goes back to the incentives behind voting. If a given citizen doesn't stand a chance of having her vote affect the outcome, why does she bother? In Switzerland, as in the U.S., "there exists a fairly strong social norm that a good citizen should go to the polls," Funk writes. "As long as poll-voting was the only option, there was an incentive (or pressure) to go to the polls only to be seen handing in the vote. The motivation could be hope for social esteem, benefits from being perceived as a cooperator or just the avoidance of informal sanctions. Since in small communities, people know each other better and gossip about who fulfills civic duties and who doesn't, the benefits of norm adherence were particularly high in this type of community." Go here for some personal explanations from Chicago residents. I'll sum them up for you: "felt good," "my responsibility," "my vote counts." categories: politics, voting First is the Worst, Second is the Best Carpe Diem, a blog recently brought to my attention (thanks Justin) has a sadly hilarious post on the World Series of Poker champion: The World Series of Poker ended this week at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and Denmark's Peter Eastgate became the youngest-ever winner of the world title. He is very much the new breed of player: 22 years old, Danish, mathematically brilliant, who gave up a fledgling career in accounting to "turn pro." As the winner of the main event Peter won about $9.2 million, but would he actually end up with all that money? Denmark's tax rate is 45% on the first 4 million Danish Kroners (about $680,000) and 75% on income above that. Mr. Eastgate will owe about $6.7 million in Danish taxes, and will get to keep only $2.5 million of his winnings—just 27.23% of his prize. In other words, he faces an effective tax rate of 72.77%. Ouch. Ivan Demidov of Moscow finished second and won $5.8 million. Russia has a 13% flat tax rate, so Mr. Demidov will owe about $755,247 to the State Taxation Service of Russia. After taxes, Ivan will still have more than $5 million, more than twice as much as the first place Danish winner. I wonder if there is any correlation between players entered and the tax rate of their nation of citizenship? It sure makes a huge difference in payout. categories: economics, humor, politics Now you try it: Despair.com categories: culture, humor Learning by Teaching: Langley vs. Wright Brothers Here is something I learned while teaching my US History class. In the early 1900's several people were trying to build the first airplane that could carry a person. Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian Institute was given $50,000 from the Department of Defense (then called the War Department). During his demonstration in 1903 the plane fell apart and crashed into the Potomac River. Nine days later Wilbur and Orville Wright successfully made the first manned flight funded by their $1,000 in personal savings. This reminded me of Thomas Friedman's solution to our future energy issues. In his book “Hot, Flat and Crowded” he states that it's not government subsidized research we need; instead we should invent 1,000 ideas in 1,000 garages and at least one of the projects should succeed. categories: history, learning by teaching, politics Why I Voted To put it bluntly, casting your ballot solely to effect the outcome of the election is irrational. Let me put it in an equation: (benefit per person from your candidate) x (300 million people) - (personal cost of voting) = Expected Utility of Voting I'm believe that this equation equals a negative number for most, even if you're in a swing state. So you may ask, why did Harrison vote today? 1) To both make myself feel good and to support those who think like me. 2) My Republican votes for the United States Congress were votes for a divided government. 3) My Libertarian votes for President, Governor, as well as other minor positions were to call attention to my team. Every incremental vote gives the two major parties the incentive to move that way. 4) My reasons to not vote would have been at least partially motivated by my self-deceptive thoughts on my political superiority, 5) It gives me political season closure. categories: personal, politics, voting Harrison Brookie Posts are dated so judge accordingly by Feed or Email and the Comments or Blogs & the Golden Age of Journalism Wishes for Political Perspective Legalize Drugs: The Facts & The Story If You're Reading This, You're Rich Diminishing Marginal Utility of Wealth Ideas for Marriage, Anniversary Edition Bachelor Pad Game Theory & Revisited Blockbuster's Future, A Personal Story Stop Supply Gouging Me adhd blogging charity crime culture driving economics education entertainment environment health history holidays humans/animals humor immigration improv Industrial Revolution links marriage personal politics recession relationships religion sci tech stimulus takeaways ted talks Tyler Cowen voting walmart war worthwhile sentences Alchemy Improv Comedy Greenville Comedy Marathon begin 30 Hours of shows THIS Friday Wanting Wisdom Better is One Day in God's House More treats for the good boys and girls.

Kayakers and users of other unpowered craft are encouraged to stay out of the ocean. Winds Southeast at 9.2 MPH (8 KT) Location: Hono a Piʻilani Highway, Honokahua Bay. Description: Honokahua Beach, fronting Fleming Beach Park, is a straight 1,500-foot long and 150-foot wide white sand beach that lies between two lava points. Large ironwood trees dominate the low sand dunes in the backshore. The prevailing wind elevates the dunes near Makaluapuna Point, the south point of the bay. A shallow sandbar fronts most of the beach and extends offshore to the surf line, except at the east end, which is fronted by a shallow reef. The foreshore is steep, the result of the high winter surf sweeping across the beach. Facilities in Fleming Beach Park include restrooms, showers, and parking. Precautions: During periods of high surf, especially during the winter months, a powerful shorebreak forms on the Fleming Beach Park sandbar, generating dangerous rip currents along the entire length of the beach. High surf may also generate a strong backwash across the sandbar. Lifeguards are on duty daily. Check with them before going in the water. Highlights: Fleming Beach Park was named for David Thomas Fleming (1881-1955), a former manager of Honolua Ranch. Fleming introduced pineapple to West Maui as a commercial crop and converted the cattle ranch to a pineapple plantation. This was the beginning of Maui Land and Pineapple Company, an industry that continues today. Fleming's home, completed in 1915 and named Makaʻoiʻoi ("keen eyes"), is now the Pineapple Hill Restaurant. Fleming Beach Park is situated on Honokahua Bay, one of the six famous bays of West Maui, which are collectively known as Hono a Piʻilani or the "bays [acquired] by [Chief] Piʻilani." The name of each bay begins with "hono," or "bay," and in order from north to south they are Hononan ("animated bay"), Honokohau ("bay drawing dew"), Honolua ("two bays"), Honokahua ("sites bay"), Honokeana ("cave bay"), and Honokowai ("bay [for] drawing water"). Fleming Beach Park is the most popular bodysurfing and bodyboarding site on West Maui. Surf breaks almost daily on the sandbar fronting the park, even during the summer months, as long as the trade winds are blowing. This break attracts many visitors and residents. Occasionally, surf on the small reef at the east end of the beach is good enough for surfing. Parks and Recreation - Aquatics Division View Maui Beaches	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3366

Relation of Commission to international bodies from which it derives functions and powers. 77.1. Source of authority. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature is a permanent body which derives all its powers and its Constitution from resolutions of the International Congresses of Zoology, and their delegated successors. 77.2. Subsequent delegation. The XVII International Congress of Zoology (1972) delegated its powers and functions referred to in the Code and the Constitution of the Commission to the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS). That delegation includes the power to delegate powers and functions to another international body of zoologists under conditions specified in this Article. 77.3. Conditions for delegation. 77.3.1. In the event of a delegation from one international body to another, the Commission shall by agreement with the new body make provisions for a Section of Zoological Nomenclature, electing members of the Commission, reviewing proposals by the Commission to amend the Code (see Article 90) and the Constitution (see Article 84.1), and reporting to the international body on activities of the Commission, as specified in this Code and in the Constitution of the Commission. 77.3.2. This international body of zoologists must adopt and put into effect the agreed provisions for the exercise of its functions. 77.3.3. No delegation shall be made under this Article by the international body without the prior concurrence of the Commission. 77.3.4. In the event of the body exercising delegation under this Article failing, in the opinion of the Commission, to carry out its functions, the Commission may terminate the delegation and transfer it to another international body of zoologists. 77.3.5. Any proposal before the Commission under this Article shall require approval by two-thirds of the votes of the members of the Commission validly cast by mail in a secret ballot. 77.4. The Constitution of the Commission. The Commission is governed by a Constitution [Art. 77.1] (See also Article 84). 77.5. Transitional periods. In any period following the termination of a delegation (made and terminated under Articles 77.3.1 and 77.3.4 respectively), the Commission shall continue its functions under the Code and Constitution, and shall report to the body succeeding to the delegation as though it had been in authority during the period subsequent to its most recent report to the previous body. During that period elections to the Commission must be made by procedures for filling casual vacancies (see Constitution: Article 4.6). FranciscoWelterSchultes 5 years later I would only amend a little to what I wrote in July 2010. Today we can see that ZooBank has become a successful service, with 3000 registered experts it could be used for such procedures. Not only would it be easy to determine the degree of experience of the registered taxonomists, but also to refine decisions concerning disputed Code content by experts of certain animal groups. It would be possible to see how many lepidopterists like to be liberated from the mandatory change section of the Code. 2015-12-18 18:14:49 FranciscoWelterSchultes This entire Article should be basically modified and replaced by something new. Since 40 years no member of the Commission has been elected in a direct and democratic way by those who feel themselves forced to accept the decisions of that body, and particularly the amended rules of the ICZN Code. The Commission does an important work, and doing this without payment by the zoological community is certainly honorable. But there is no need to do this by disacknowledging the very basic ideas of freedom and democracy. People today prefer to feel free. This implies that they like to be given a choice, and then accept their own decision by majority rule. Commissioners have a remarkably low reputation in the zoological community. They do an important job, but most taxonomists I know do not acknowledge it properly. Many are convinced that zoologists can only become Commissioners if they are inside a closed inner circle, old and rich people who can afford travelling around the world as much as they like, their e-mail addresses are published at the ICZN website but most do not answer any e-mails, most are editors of journals and have personal and financial interests in this job. Most will save money in printing costs if they vote down the requirement to publish on paper. It takes time to learn that these prejudices are not all true. Except that e-mails are not answered, which is very obviously true for many members. This bad reputation is not good, and the lack of any democratic procedure which does not involve that anyone feels to be allowed to participate in something, does not improve this situation. In the modern times of internet we have more opportunities than back in 1972. Between 1972 and 2000 there were no zoological congresses (where a small number of selected and financially capable zoologists could assist). The zoological community had no other choice than to allow the Commission's members to elect and re-elect themselves. The "Section of Zoological Nomenclature" of the IUBS is entirely undefined in this Article, and in practical life seems to consist of the members of the Commission. In pre-revolutionary France they had terms for such a form of government. If the present procedure is maintained, it would be better to admit frankly that the members of the Commission are elected and re-elected by themselves. My proposal is to elaborate a model by which taxonomists could register and under certain criteria (for example, having published 5 papers containing available nomenclatural acts) obtain the right to vote. It cannot be extremely difficult to find a surveymonkey-like program in which the election could be processed. Candidates to become new members of the Commission would have the opportunity to present themselves in a web page provided by ICZN (this cannot be very difficult, if yes they could have the opportunity to get a link to such a page provided by their own servers), and taxonomists would be granted a time frame of a few weeks for the elections. The same could apply to the members of the Editorial Committee for future new editions of the Code. The taxonomic community is active. In BHL we made the experience that 1000 zoological taxonomists (the vast majority of these were experts in nomenclature) participated in the BHL User Survey 2010. We had a 6-weeks time frame, but 80 % of the answers came in in the first 6 days (month of March). 45 % of the participants came from Europe (400 persons), 35 % from North America, 8 % from South America. It has surprised ourselves how many experts were interested in participating in a democratic procedure to take decisions (in BHL we had to take decisions and the User Survey was employed for this reason). The basic conclusion of this experience was: if you ask people what they like, they will answer. There is no reason to assume that taxonomists would not or only in a small number participate in general elections. It would also be easy to define rules for direct voting on certain important amendments to the Code. For example, to take highly necessary decisions of how the author should be spelled in zoology, with initials or without, should abbreviations be forbidden or not, should the comma between author and year be mandatory or not, should there be a maximum number of authors behind the name of a taxon. There could be provisions in the Code to set limits for such decisions (for example amendments for very basic regulations would need a 90 % vote to get approved, other important issues 67 %). A democratic structure would be a good base for nomenclatural decisions getting broad acceptance. Broad acceptance would be highly appreciated in zoology.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3367

PS4 3.5 Update – What We Would Like To See Daniel Meegan March 14, 2016 EDITORIALSPS4PS4 FEATURED0 Comments 0 Those who have been with the PS4 from the very beginning will likely end up being frustrated with its lack of certain features. Some of the most basic PS3 functionality — including ‘friend online’ notifications — isn’t even included yet, and while the PS4 3.5 update (codename: Musashi) will rectify that particular issue, there’s still a ton more stuff the PlayStation 4 needs to be worthy of that £40 PS Plus subscription. It’s good to see Sony slowly adding new features, but we can only hope they add the right ones. The PS4 3.5 Update is looking like a good start, and this in mind, here are the top 5 features IGCritic wants to see introduced — whether that’s with Musashi, or in the future. Homepage folders and organisation For the player that likes to dabble in all those free PlayStation Plus games, the PS4 home screen can quickly become an endless stream of similar looking icons. The games will pile up, your library will begin to overflow, and anything you don’t use regularly will slowly vanish into the depths of PlayStation hell. If the PlayStation Vita can receive a folders upgrade, there’s no reason the PS4 can’t follow suit. It’s been well over 2 years at this point, and that means a ridiculous number of games are now strewn across our home screens. A quick click on the ‘TV and Video’ app will yield a drop-down menu, so why isn’t this used for every icon?! Musashi is bringing with it a ton of exciting features (appear offline ftw!) but this particular one would make many a gamer wet their collective pants. Theme customisation and backgrounds After playing the Uncharted 4 beta, many users’ PS4 consoles are now packed with some epic, rope-swinging screenshots. Sadly, those snaps will never be given the glory of being displayed as a PS4 background. Strangely enough, there’s no pre-built theme customization readily available with the PS4’s operating system. You can alter the font, but that’s about it. And while changing the typography is a very useful feature — ahem, sarcasm, ahem — we should be given a bit more control over the personality of our console. After all, we shelled out over £300 for it! Game gifting and wishlists If you’ve never been in PlayStation-love, it’s that beautiful moment when you bond with a fellow gamer over a mutual obsession with teabagging, headset-cussing and kill-whoring in objective modes. Naturally, your friends’ birthday arrives, and you figure you’ll treat them to a wide variety of PlayStation Store goodness. Maybe you want to gift them the fifth instalment in the main Uncharted series, UnKarted. Fictional, wish-based projects aside, being able to give the gift of games would be an extremely neat feature, especially at Christmas. It may surprise you to learn then, young Padawan, that this won’t be an option. The PlayStation Store on PS4 does not boast any game gifting or wish lists of any kind. You can’t even ask people what they want without giving the surprise away. A wish list function is present on the web store, but it’s something we need on console in order for it to become that all-encompassing entertainment hub. Unfortunately, the PS4 3.5 update doesn’t offer this but hopefully this will be reviewed in the future. Trophy stat-tracking Everyone loves trophies. Everyone with a pulse, anyway. It can be easy to get overly-engrossed with meticulous trophy collecting, and they’re are a fine way to extend the shelf-life of an otherwise short-lived experience. That being said, frustration can rear its head in certain areas. Some trophies, like those featured in the recent Batman: Arkham Knight community challenge pack, are difficult to obtain and even worse, they don’t let you track completion progress. You have to beat a certain map three times without getting hit, yet there’s no way to tell how many times you’ve done it without manually keeping count. There are more extreme examples than this, and it’s a pain on the whole. Trophy stat-tracking could be built-in to your PS4 trophy display, allowing you to quickly check on a the progress of a specific gold, silver or bronze. Sure, some games have a stat menu readily available for such circumstances, but a lot of games don’t, and this would be a nice little addition to Musashi. PSN Name changing We’ve all heard the stories. The myths, the whispers. The naysayers, stating it can’t be done. Even the head of SCEA himself, Shawn Layden, gave numerous excuses in a chat with IGN. And yet, despite years and years of begging, Sony won’t budge on the matter. Xbox owners have enjoyed this functionality for many years, a tantalising USP for those debating which console to purchase. Us PlayStation owners have been left in the dark, and this seemingly legendary feature has been left frustratingly out of reach. Those looking to unite their social media handles with their gaming personas are out of luck, unless you don’t mind losing all those trophies. We can use our Facebook profiles on the PS4, but it still feels like a weak offering, a tool Sony have given us in the hopes we’ll forget about name-changes. All-in-all, the PS4 experience is hit and miss. The games are great (and plenty) but the operating system is lacking in certain areas. It takes Sony months and months to pull a new update out from their rear, but despite this, the future of PlayStation looks bright. So, for all the latest on Musashi, PS4 3.5 update and beyond, keep it locked to IGCritic. 3.53.5 FirmwareeditorialMusaships4ps4 foldersps4 game giftingpsn name changeSonytrophy trackingUpdate Previous ArticleTop 5 Fun Video Games for Kids Next ArticleThese WoW Leggings Are Armor Essentials Daniel Meegan Writer, movie watcher and pancake-lover.

__label__cc	0.56107	0.43893	Posted on January 8, 2020 by Ika Earlier, Instagram marketing used to be limited to branded posts and content. Then came the era of influencer marketing. With the addition of Instagram Stories, brands found another format to market themselves. The most recent addition, IGTV, provided the option to post long-form vertical videos. Due to the dynamic nature of Instagram marketing and the platform itself, it becomes difficult to gauge how it will evolve next. We have curated a list of ten key trends that will shape the future of Instagram marketing in 2020 and beyond. Instagram Marketing Trends for 2020: 1. The Rise of Instagram Shopping In recent years, Instagram has emerged as an important platform for online selling. And it’s not just limited to brands adding direct buy links to their product posts. There is an entire community of online sellers that sell exclusively through Instagram. The platform’s visual style makes it easy for brands to display their products and the social network aspect of it makes it easy for sellers and buyers to connect. We all are aware of the shoppable posts, but Instagram selling has evolved beyond that now. Following are some trends that will drive the Instagram shopping options in 2020: Purchase Links in Instagram Stories In 2017, Instagram launched a feature that allowed adding links to Stories. Since then, this feature has been extensively leveraged by brands to add direct product purchase links to their Stories. This trend will continue to grow as it allows brands to showcase their products and drive sales conversions. In the below example, clothing brand, H&M, used this feature to provide a direct product-purchase option to their audience. They displayed a few products in their Story and then provided the “Swipe up to shop” option for easy product purchase. Image via Instagram With the option to save Stories as highlights, brands can use this to showcase their latest collections and drive conversions on a more permanent basis. The Rise of Instagram Boutiques A lot of Instagram boutiques have cropped up that are using Instagram as a virtual boutique to display their products and enable purchases. Instagram’s visual style allows for a virtual product display and the right hashtags to help the brands to reach the right audience. Peppermayo is one such Instagram boutique, and below is a snapshot of their Instagram feed: 2. Vertical Videos With the increasing use of mobiles to access social networks or just browsing, the emergence of vertical videos was inevitable. But Instagram has made this otherwise unpopular video format quite popular and trending. Instagram Live, Stories, and IGTV, all support vertical video format and have made it a big Instagram trend. And since it is a mobile-friendly format, a lot of Instagram users are now driving this trend. The launch of IGTV—Instagram’s feature for posting vertical, long-form videos—in June 2018, further drove this trend. And as the IGTV feature gains more traction, this trend will only grow further. Brands are leveraging this format for a variety of purposes. Whether you want to showcase your products, run a contest/challenge, or show a tutorial, vertical videos can be used for everything. In the example below, the Cosmopolitan magazine uses the IGTV’s vertical video format to feature a hairstyling tutorial. And the best part is that creating a vertical video is as simple as holding your phone vertically and recording. 3. Instagram Stories Will Continue Gaining Traction Ever since its launch in 2016, Instagram Stories has been an important part of Instagram marketing. Brands have leveraged the Stories feature in a myriad of creative ways and will continue doing so. Due to the versatility of Instagram Stories, it has become an important aspect of any marketer’s Instagram marketing strategy. And with the addition of filters, stickers, and other visual effects, Stories are now more engaging than ever before. Following are some of the numerous ways in which you can leverage Stories for your Instagram marketing: For Ads and Promotions A lot of brands use Instagram Stories to promote their deals, giveaways, contests or just to feature display or short-form video ads. The transient nature of Stories develops a sense of urgency, which is ideal for promoting deals and giveaways. Stories are short, engaging, and addictive, and hence, are an effective medium for brand ads and promotions. In the example below, see how Starbucks have creatively used an Instagram Story to engage their audience and promote their holiday deals and products. For Running a Poll or Contest Running a poll or contest via your brand’s Instagram Stories is a good way to engage your audience. You can use polls to gather consumer insights and understand consumer preferences for your brand or products. Polls can also be used to get ideas on what the customers would want next from your brand. Giving your customers a choice and making them involved in the process works wonders for any brand’s customer loyalty. You can also use Stories to run a contest and reward the winning entries. This is another tried and tested way to get your customers to engage with your brand. To Announce New Product Launches You can also leverage Instagram Stories to announce new product launches or just showcase featured products. In the below example, Huda Beauty leveraged their Instagram Story to announce a new product launch. It has taken the story further by showcasing the various shades of the newly-launched range of lipsticks. 4. Influencer Marketing This is not a new trend, but it’s one that is here to stay. Brand-influencer collaborations will continue to be the backbone of most marketers’ Instagram marketing strategies. And the fact that influencer content is considered more authentic than brand content, will be the key driving factor for this trend. Brands are leveraging influencers for creating posts, generating backlinks for their websites, increasing consumer engagement, and even driving sales. Whether you want to promote a deal or product, or just generate good quality content, influencers can help you do so. What’s more? Influencer marketing is much cheaper than running traditional ad campaigns. Instagram micro-influencers charge between $75 and $3,000 per post, depending on their level of engagement and follower count. This is still cheaper than the thousands of dollars that brands spend on traditional advertising. Two of the trending ways in which brands are collaborating with influencers are: To Promote Hashtag Campaigns Using a Network of Influencers Gone are the days when brands used to pick one or two influencers and sent them free products to review. Now is the age of doing influencer marketing at scale. Many brands are now leveraging a network of influencers to promote their Instagram marketing campaigns, using campaign-specific hashtags. This tactic combines two elements of Instagram marketing—influencers and hashtags. The idea is to create a campaign-specific hashtag and promote it through all forms like Stories, posts, Highlights, and influencer content. For example, Marc Jacobs used this strategy to promote the launch of their new perfume, “Daisy.” The brand devised the hashtag “#mjdaisy” for the campaign and collaborated with several influencers to promote the hashtag. Earn Influencer Content by Hosting Influencer Events This is a more recent trend where several brands have invited a highly-curated set of influencers to their brand events. Some brands even take these influencers on all expenses paid trips. The influencers, in turn, post about the event, mention the brand and promote the brand. Revolve is a clothing brand that often uses this strategy. The brand’s Instagram Highlights are filled with stories about influencer trips and events that they have hosted. The brand gets a lot of influencer content, from these events. For example, influencer Francis Lola posted this Story about a Revolve event, which reached her massive following of 331k people. 5. New Feature Additions Instagram is a platform that has never failed to surprise when it comes to adding innovative and useful features. The platform has evolved from a chronological visual news feed to having live streaming and IGTV. Due to the sheer intensity of competition among social media platforms and the race to get more users, Instagram will continue to evolve. Instagram is currently testing a new, better analytics platform which will help businesses grow when it is launched. There is also news about a new feature called Promoted Stories, which will help boost featured Stories for maximum reach. So, watch out for these and, hopefully, many more such exciting features from Instagram in 2020. 6. Tweets and Memes There has been a rise in the humorous content being posted on Instagram with several accounts posting such content exclusively. Tweets and memes have become the most popular type of humorous Instagram content and this trend will grow further in 2020. People have started posting screenshots of funny tweets as posts and Stories on Instagram. This trend is fairly recent but has taken the platform by a storm. Memes, on the other hand, have been there for a while but are still very popular on Instagram. In fact, there are Instagram accounts dedicated just for that. Marketers are leveraging this trend and using such content to their advantage. People are used to viewing humorous content on the platform and might just take branded content as native content. Here’s an example of how a tweet can be posted on Instagram. You can use your own tweets or someone else’s tweets. Instagram is all about sharing curated content, so you don’t really need to create fresh content every single time. This strategy saves you time and drives engagement as well. 7. Instagram Live Will Grow in Popularity Ever since Instagram Live was launched in 2016, live videos have become very popular on the platform. Streaming videos in real-time has its set of advantages that no other form of content has. For one, it lets you interact with your audience in real-time and allows for two-way communication, rather than just one-way sharing of content. They can comment and ask questions that you can answer instantly. Instagram Live also allows you to add another user to your live video feed and you can interact with them live. This offers a lot of possibilities for your business to engage your audience. You can use live videos to host a Q&A session with your audience where you can answer their queries. This also provides an excellent opportunity to understand customer concerns and get valuable customer insights. Another great way to use Instagram Live is to conduct an interview with an industry expert or influencer. You can cover trending topics from your niche that your audience might be interested in. This is a good way to engage your audience and provide value to them. Here are some other ideas of how you can leverage this trend and use Instagram live for your business. Launch a product live on Instagram and create buzz about it before you make it available on your website. This will help drive more sales. Go live during a brand event and make your Instagram followers a part of the experience, even if it is from a distance. Use a live video to demonstrate how to use your product in different ways. A live product tutorial is better than a regular video because it provides your audience with a chance to ask questions and seek clarification. Live videos are engaging and interactive and you should start using these for your business, if you’re not already doing so. Use Instagram Live and connect with your followers in real-time. 8. Interactive Content Just like live videos, other forms of interactive content are also trending on Instagram. A lot of brands and marketers are experimenting with interactive content to drive audience engagement. Instagram provides a lot of options for making your content interactive and engaging. Instagram Stories is especially good for creating and sharing interactive content with your audience. Here are some ways in which you can make your Instagram content interactive. This is a simple, yet effective, way to make your Instagram content interactive. Simply ask your audience a question and encourage them to respond. The more responses you get, the better it is for you. For posts, you can add an image with a question and ask people to submit their answers in the comments. With Instagram Stories, it is much easier as it has an option for asking questions with a box to write answers. Here’s an example: Polls are another popular form of interactive content on Instagram that you can use. These are similar to questions but with two answer options that people can choose from. It is very simple to create polls using Instagram Stories stickers, just like it is for questions. You can type in your poll question and the answer options and post it to your Story. Here’s an example: Here are some other things that you can do to create interactive Instagram content. Create a quiz and give your audience a chance to test their knowledge. Start a countdown to an upcoming post, product launch, event, or anything else. Experiment with other interactive Instagram Stories stickers. 9. Instagram Stories Ads Instagram Stories ads appear in between Stories on a user’s feed and can often be mistaken for native content. That is why these work much better than other types of ads that clearly stand out as sponsored or branded content. Marketers have realised this opportunity and are now investing in Instagram Stories ads more than ever. This trend will grow stronger in 2020 and that is why you should invest in these if you’re not already doing so. You can create three different types of Instagram Stories ads—images, videos, and carousels. In carousel ads, you can add 3 images or videos in one ad. Here are some best practices for creating and running Instagram Stories ads that work. Always add calls-to-action in your Instagram Stories ads as they are what will direct the traffic to your website. Make sure that the ad is simple and easy-to-understand as it will be visible only for a few seconds, so people should know immediately what your ad is all about. Keep text content to a minimum and add visuals to immediately grab the audience’s attention. Be smart with your text placement and keep it in a place that draws attention away from the word “sponsored” at the top. You can reuse your influencer content and turn it into an ad. Clearly highlight any offers or discounts in your ad. If the ad features just one product, mention the price and add a high-quality picture to get more clicks. Use these tips and create Instagram Stories ads to market your brand or products and get more conversions. Here’s a good example of an Instagram Stories ad that follows the above-mentioned best practices. 10. The Explore Tab Content Has Grown Multifold When you want to explore new content on Instagram and find more accounts to follow, you go to the explore tab. It provides you with content based on your past likes and view history. Earlier, this used to be a bit generic with a series of post suggestions that you might like. However, now they have made it much easier to search for new content by adding categories. Instead of just a list of post suggestions, they now also let you search for content by category. For example, if you like to watch cute animal pictures and videos then you might see a category called “animals” on your explore tab. Or, if you like posts with travel photography, you might find a category called “travel” in the explore tab. As a marketer, you can utilise this by optimising your Instagram profile and content to rank higher in said categories. Just like SEO is for regular searches, soon there will be SEO for Instagram searches as well. To leverage this trend, pick your niche and start optimising your profile and content by using keywords and hashtags from that niche. Using the right hashtags from your niche will help your content be displayed on the explore tab, under the relevant categories. Instagram will continue to evolve, and these trends will shape the future of Instagram marketing. If you want to stay competitive and make your content stand out on Instagram, you need to stay updated on the current trends. These are ten of the biggest Instagram marketing trends for 2020 that you should leverage to ace your Instagram marketing game. Use these trends to plan your 2020 Instagram marketing strategy and run a successful Instagram account.

__label__wiki	0.695466	0.695466	Home > Photos > Post Content Skegee Spotlight: Taryn Stewart (857 hits) Among this spring’s class of 2019 graduates is Taryn Stewart, who credits Tuskegee University with preparing her for more than just her career, but for life as well. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, she graduated this past spring with a dual degree in accounting and supply chain management. Stewart recalls that a campus tour quickly moved Tuskegee to the top of the list of where she wanted to go to college. “I was originally set on attending another school, but I quickly changed my mind after going on a tour at Tuskegee. Once I stepped foot on campus, I was completely in love with the university,” Stewart says. She said one of her chief requirements for college was that her experience would feel like home — and Tuskegee gave her just that. “Tuskegee made me feel like I belonged here. I actually had two campus visits: one during the week on an infamous weekly ‘fried chicken Wednesday,’ and the second during open house. Those two visits set the tone for what I would be looking forward to,” she recollects. Stewart says her decision was also important to her because she was the first in her family to attend an HBCU. “Attending an HBCU gives off so much energy that cannot be compared. It’s at an HBCU where you truly learn your value and worth,” she notes. Furthering the legacy For Stewart, Tuskegee also showed her that her college life is more than just going to class and being involved in extracurricular activities. It’s also about keeping the legacy going for future students and generation. She had an opportunity to do just that as a past member and president of the university’s Ambassador program – the official student representatives and tour guides for Tuskegee, and one of its most recognizable organizations. “My first encounter with Tuskegee was through a student ambassador. I can remember my ambassador being so excited about not just giving the tour, but welcoming me to Tuskegee,” she recalls. “I felt like I was taking a first-class walking tour, and I was the priority.” Stewart says because of her personal experience on her first tour, she always wanted other prospective students to have a memorable campus tour experience. As an ambassador, she says it warmed her heart to see her tour participants come back to attend Mother Tuskegee. “I felt like I was part of their decisions and that it was up to me to make sure that future students had a great first-time experience,” she notes. “I saw at least 10 or more students from my group tours who later enrolled, and some even walked up to me and said it was because of me that they decided to attend Tuskegee.” Transitioning to the career world Stewart says she hopes that every student entering the university’s main Lincoln Gates will have a pleasurable experience and be open-minded to all that Tuskegee truly has to offer. “I would want to encourage all prospective students to get involved in campus activities early on and take advantage of the university’s career fairs and internships. Doing so will help them compete with other students and get a sense of how corporate America works,” she says. As much as she’ll miss her time as a Tuskegee student, she also says she is excited about her next chapter. Stewart recently accepted a position with Lockheed Martin in Dallas, Texas, where she will work as a project manager. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity. This is what Tuskegee prepared me for – the real-world – and I know I’ll be successful in every way,” she adds. © 2019, Tuskegee University Posted By: Sister Elynor Moss Tuesday, July 16th 2019 at 5:43PM You can also click here to view all posts by this author...

__label__wiki	0.570066	0.570066	Harvest Gold Memories A blog about retro American pop culture from the 1970's through the 1980's. Closer magazine Proves that Millennials Aren't the Only Demo Buying Celebrity Mags It's no secret that the entertainment industry has traditionally been fixated on the youth market. There is some reason for that: first, young people typically spend much more (collectively) on entertainment than do other segments since entertainment is often the main priority for them whereas other groups have other responsibilities. Also, the youth market has been such a large market segment for years, starting with the Baby Boom, and more recently, with Millennials, which makes it possible to focus on youth and basically ignore just about every other segment. That may not sound altruistic, but entertainment is an industry like all others. Music (vinyl records, tapes, CDs and now MP3s) and television and movies (including home video, such as VHS cassettes, DVDs and increasingly, digital/cloud-based content) tend to rely heavily on the youth market for both sales and profits. It's therefore not surprising that the supermarket celebrity gossip magazines including publications like the Enquirer, Star, People and others all tend to focus primarily on what the youth market is interested in, although youth aren't necessarily in supermarkets buying up celebrity gossip magazines -- their parents are. Indeed, many older shoppers (including many people with children) complain that they don't even know who the people pictured in the celebrity gossip rags are, therefore they no longer buy these magazines, and who can blame them? During 2014, there was an acknowledgement (of sorts) that the publishing (and media) mantra of youth at the expense of all else had left some largely untapped opportunities, which represented an opportunity for profit. Specifically, the Bauer Media Group USA, whose parent company is a global company based in Germany, reached this conclusion and acted upon it. In the U.S., Bauer publishes a number of magazine titles that are sold primarily via supermarket checkouts across America (some their titles include In Touch and Life & Style magazines, as well as Women's World, Soaps In Depth and a few others). They concluded that the older market was being ignored by traditional publishing staples, and therefore represented a sales opportunity for them. The company cited Gen X specifically in their new title's mission statement, although no doubt the new title they came up with was aimed at a market that was larger than Gen X exclusively, even if the Gen X target is likely to be more enduring than the Baby Boom will be, hence naming Gen X in the mission statement. What was their new title? Some recent Closer weekly covers The Closer weekly, which began distribution in mid-2014 in some markets, but was officially launched nationwide in November of that year once the company had penetrated the retail channels completely. The main point of differentiation is that the covers of Closer weekly doesn't dare feature the likes of Justin Bieber, Miley Cirus or Kim (or Khloe) Kardashian. Instead, the publication features pictures of older celebrities (including deceased celebs). Several recent covers featured a young Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, the cast of The Golden Girls as well as celebs who are not (yet) living-impaired including Suzanne Somers, George Clooney, Sally Field & Burt Reynolds and others. The company says that the Closer weekly merges the feel-good nature of celebrity with the practicality of service for the underserved Generation X demographic, which Pew Research once referred to as "America's neglected 'middle child'" (see http://pewrsr.ch/1xbLAxe for the article). It features 100% positive editorial (although news of celebrity deaths have been featured) on the A-List celebrities its core readers grew up with. In addition, it says Closer offers a concise, sophisticated take on the home, health, food, diet and beauty information. The vast majority of its buyers (for all its publications) are all women, by a fairly substantial margin. To be sure, the Closer magazine's current demos suggest more than Gen X is buying the publication, as the median age of its readers is 54, while virtually all definitions indicate the oldest Gen Xers just turned 50, as this edition of the Epoch Times Weekend indicates (get the Adobe Acrobat version at http://ow.ly/XnfwU). Epoch Times featured an article on Gen X turning 50 (click image to open article) But, right now the fact is more Gen Xers and younger Baby Boomers are still in supermarkets each week, while the same cannot be said about all Millennials, plus the Gen Xers' household incomes are higher, too. The Closer's content is supposed to be more uplifting than other celebrity magazines, which often focus on divorces and extramarital affairs, although news of death isn't exactly uplifting, positive editorials might be. Is this strategy working? So far, what limited public data that's out there suggests yes. For example, in 2014, the Closer won both the "Hottest Magazine Launch" by trade publication Media Industry Newsletter (MIN) as well as Adweek's "Hot List" Award. Whether other big titles will adopt this strategy is unclear. For example, People, the Star and the Enquirer all tend to have a broader focus on celebrities in general (but they may rely on more negative news, including divorce and the like), hence on one issue, the cover may be an older (but not living-impaired) celebrity, while the next issue will feature a younger celebrity. Whether that drives sales at supermarket checkouts is less clear, although some titles (like Meredith Corp's People magazine) can afford to rely more heavily on subscriptions and need not be as focused on retail sales as Bauer's publications do. Regardless, it's clear that titles focused on older celebrities can still generate magazine sales if Bauer's 2014 launch of the Closer weekly is any indication. The question remains whether print will continue to be the driver, or whether digital will have a bigger focus for the relatively new publication going forward? Increasingly, the driver for tablet sales has expanded beyond the affluent and youth markets, with older and less affluent consumers driving more sales of iPads and other tablet devices. While some of Bauer's publications are focused more on print, we could see a more digital focus for publications like the Closer weekly, which may position the publication to continue to serve the large Baby Boomer population who may not be as mobile as they once were. But for the time being, it would seem that the launch of the Closer weekly is here for a while. Author P.S. June 15, 2018: There was news today (see the press release at https://prn.to/2LmIiTc for detail) that Bauer Media USA is selling several of its magazine titles sold at supermarket checkout stands, including the Closer weekly, In Touch, Life & Style, J-14 and Teen Boss to American Media, Inc., which is perhaps best known as the publisher of celebrity gossip tabloids including the National Enquirer. Bauer Media USA said it had made a decision to focus mainly on its portfolio of what it calls its women's service business, including Woman's World and First for Women, two top sellers at American newsstands as well as a title covering soap operas. This purchase adds to American Media Inc's already substantial debt load, which according to some estimates is now approaching U.S. $1 billion following this purchase.

Marvin “Butch” Hughes, local chapter organizer of Nebraskans for Safe Water, led the drive for two petitions that were delivered to City Hall Friday afternoon. Hughes said 2,500 signatures were collected and turned in for verification. “Even people who didn’t agree with us were kind and respectful,” he said. “It was a wonderful experience to go out and visit with people.” Hughes said time was the only thing stopping the group from obtaining more signatures, because the petition had to be turned into the city by Friday. At least 2,150 signatures were required for the petitions to be allowed on the ballot. According to Hughes, the next part of the petition process is for the Hastings City Council to decide whether to accept the petitions for the ballot and forward the signatures to the Adams County election commissioner for verification. Hughes said putting the petitions to the ballot because it would allow Hastings to be the first community in the state to require specific information about fluorosilicic acid before it would be allowed in the water. One ballot question would be, “Shall an ordinance establishing quality criteria for water additives intended to treat or prevent disease in humans, and requiring specific public disclosures for accountability, transparency, compliance with law, and conformance to industry standards, be added to the municipal code of the city of Hastings?” “This is finally going to give the city of Hastings the tools it needs to keep it’s water clean and safe,” he said. He said most people believe that the fluoride that would be added to the city’s water is the same type of fluoride that is found in toothpaste. Hughes said the fluorosilicic acid, which would be used to fluoridate the water, is not a pure form. “The only place (fluorosilicic acid) is legal to go in the United States is into a municipal water supply or into a level one waste handling facility,” he said. “You can’t dump it in a river. You can’t dump it in a gutter.” Even though fluorosilicic acid contains lead, mercury and arsenic, Hughes said officials ignore the health risks from the chemicals contained in fluorosilicic acid because it is being diluted. By only allowing a small amount of parts per million, Hughes said, officials will consider it safe, despite the cumulative effect of the contaminants. “Their solution to pollution is dilution,” he said. He also said that there has been no study conducted that shows proof of the benefits of drinking fluoridated water. He said fluoride treatments have been shown to provide health benefits, but none have been shown from fluoridated water being ingested. Hughes said everyone involved is wanting to help the overall health of the community and all he is asking for is more information about the product that would be used to fluoridate the water. “Here in Hastings we shouldn’t have to be monkey see, monkey do, just because somebody else is doing it,” he said.

San Francisco, March 16 Dharma friends from around the Bay Area converged on the San Francisco airport this afternoon, urgently texting one another to reassure themselves they were all in the right place at the right moment to greet His Holiness the Karmapa. His flight arrived with a slight delay, which allowed the large numbers of Tibetan as well as international disciples to position themselves as His Holiness was ushered through the terminal towards his vehicle. After an emotional welcome by nearly 200 joyful students, His Holiness the Karmapa entered his car, with a smile and a gentle wave to those standing on the curb bowing and waving to him. The party proceeded directly from San Francisco airport to Rosewood Sand Hill in Palo Alto, California, where the traditional welcome with a tea and rice ceremony awaited him. All rose as His Holiness entered the intimate venue and ascended the throne. The mandala offering was made to the 17th Karmapa by Lama Lodru of Kagyu Droden Kunchab Dharma center of San Francisco. Also making offerings in the procession were a Khenpo from Palpung Lungtok Choeling in nearby San Jose, Lama Tsultrim Allione of Tara Mandala, Dr. James Doty, founder and director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and representatives of the Tibetan Association of Northern California. Although the webcast team had arrived in San Francisco only the prior evening, the media team ignored jetlag and scrambled to set up, to share the occasion with those not physically present via live webcast. The transmission was successful, and marks what we hope will be a long series of opportunities to bring all along on this journey.

__label__wiki	0.904483	0.904483	Indiana RadioWatch: March 10, 2008 More "corner office" moves this issue, as Northeast Indiana Public Radio GM Bruce Haines is leaving after 20 years as GM there, to become president of PBS affiliate WFWA-TV (Channel 39/DT40, Fort Wayne). No start date has been announced. IRW will follow this story and let you know when Haines' successor is announced. AllAccess reports that Federated Media's Rock/WBYR (98.9fm, Van Wert, Ohio) has added station imaging services from Kansas City-based Subnoize Creative (Brian Prince). Where Are They Now? Cindy Miller, formerly PD at WBYR, along with PD work down in Evansville, is now PD at WSFL-FM in New Bern, North Carolina. If you live in South Bend, rest assured it really wasn't your TV set. PBS affiliate WNIT (Channel 34/DT35) had its analog transmitter fail, reducing its power. The South Bend Tribune's Jeremy Bonfiglio reports that on 22 February, one of two Klystron tubes failed, causing sound loss for WNIT over the air viewers. The WNIT Board of Directors decided not to fix the problem, since parts are no longer supplied (because of next year's television DTV conversion), and buying an expensive part for ten months' use might not be fiscally responsible. Bongiflio also reports that WNIT's analog signal is now at half power. AllAccess reports that the Notre Dame football radio network moves distribution from Westwood One to ISP Sports, in a new ten year deal. Westwood One had distributed Notre Dame football since 1968. In South Bend, Notre Dame football is heard on Artistic Media Partners stations Sports/WDND (1490am, South Bend) and CHR/WNDV-FM (92.9fm, South Bend). A former radio station owner finds political aspirations. Bill Dixon, who once owned WAWC (103.5fm, Syracuse) is seeking the seat for Indiana House District 22, as a Republican. The 42 year old Dixon sold WAWC to Talking Stick Communications in 2006. Dixon told The Warsaw Times-Union's Jennifer Peryam "I am not afraid to call things the way they are and stand up for the district." The Chicago Sun-Times' Robert Feder reports that "The Lou Dobbs Show" is now part of the talk show roster on Gerard Media's N-T/WIMS (1420am, Michigan City). The show airs weekdays from 2pm - 5pm, replacing WIMS Rewind, and "Afternoons with Matt n' Craig." However, Matt and Craig remain with WIMS; Matt does Sports for the station, while Craig hosts "Into the Outdoors" on Thursday evenings. ShopTalk reports that Jenna Maloney is now co-anchor of the 5:00am - 6:00am morning news at FOX affiliate WXIN (Channel 59/DT45, Indianapolis). Last year, Maloney joined WXIN as a weekend anchor. She arrived from FOX affiliate WBFF in Baltimore, Maryland, where she was a morning reporter. The new Cumulus AC/WWFT (93.9fm, Fishers) changes call letters to match its "Warm" moniker. Mark down WRWM on your Indy Radio Call Letters scorecard. A call letter change we inadvertently missed last November. Electronic Applications Radio Service's WRFM (90.1fm, Wadesville), a religious broadcasting simulcast of WJCF (88.1fm, Morristown), changes its call letters to WENS. WLHN (990am, Muncie) takes the WRFM call letters. The WENS call letters have not been heard in central Indiana since Emmis Communications changed the call letters of its Shelbyville-licensed 97.1fm to WLHK in March 2005. Very sad to report tonight the passing of Phil Stoerck, known on-air as "Phil The Listener" at Sarkes Tarzian's AAA/WTTS (92.3fm, Bloomington). Since 2004, Stoerck has hosted a monthly show on WTTS. Phil started out as a listener and presence at many WTTS events and concerts. Tonight, WTTS aired a most touching one hour musical tribute to Stoerck. WTTS PD Brad Holtz tells IRW: "What started as a wild idea over some beers became something simply incredible. Phil The Listener epitomized the independent spirit of WTTS. He became the voice of the listener. He represented what's great about local radio. Most importantly, he became our dear friend, and our audience's friend. Phil will be sorely missed, and our thoughts and prayers are with his loving wife Bonnie and son Reed." Stoerck passed away yesterday at age 54. JP Engelbrecht was recently named CEO of South Central Communications. Engelbrecht's father - John D. - will continue as Chairman of the Board and President. JP had been the VP/COO of the Evansville based company since 2002, when he entered that role at age 22. South Central Communications owns WABX/WEOA/WIKY-FM/WLFW/WSTO and has an LMA with WEJK. Also, South Central owns several stations in Tennessee. JP was named CEO on 21 February. This Week in Indiana Radio History March 9: In 1949, WCTW-FM in New Castle was granted a CP for 102.5fm, running 4000 watts at 250 feet. March 11: In 1949, 1370am, Bloomington signed on; Today, it is WGCL. In 1993, 98.7fm, Battle Ground signed on; Today it is WASK-FM. March 12: In 2001, a three way frequency swap occurred in Fort Wayne. First, after ending its simulcast a day earlier with WYSR (94.1fm), WCKZ, then at 102.3fm, moved its call letters to 94.1fm and began an Urban AC format as "The Wiz." 102.3fm became WEJE with an alternative music format. And 96.3fm (where WEJE was) took a country music format, as WWWD. Today, the WCKZ calls are on 91.3fm in Orland, 102.3fm is Spanish music formatted as WGBJ, and 96.3fm is Rhythmic CHR as WNHT. In 1999, J.C. Baker left mornings at Fort Wayne's WMEE and is now the News Director for Fort Wayne-based Northeast Indiana Public Radio. March 14: In 1974, WLYV (1450am) in Fort Wayne changed formats from Top 40 to Country, with a switch in ownership. Until 1980, Jack Nicklaus owned the station under the corporate name "Golden Bear Broadcasting". That's it for this issue. Back to the Archive Index All pages Copyright Blaine Thompson.

HAWAI`I DECLARED ITSELF HO`OKIPA, the welcoming state, through a resolution introduced by a Hawai`i Island legislator and passed by the state House of Representatives this week. Penned by Rep. Joy San Bueanaventura, of Puna, House Resolution 76 cites the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing state sovereignty and protection from unreasonable demands to enforce federal government directives. Buenaventura, in her second term in the state House, is an attorney, mathematician, former judge and former professor of business at University of Hawai`i - Hilo. Rep. Joy San Buenaventura penned the new Ho`okipa Resolution declaring Hawai`i as the welcoming state. Her Ho`okipa Resolution does not automatically make Hawai`i one of the sanctuary jurisdictions where President Donald Trump has threatened to cancel federal funding for refusing to cooperate in some federal immigration enforcement matters. However, the Ho`okipa Resolution could be interpreted as creating “sanctuary,” said one of Hawai`i’s few Republican state legislators, Gene Ward, of O`ahu. He said federal funding could be threatened. He called it “sticking our finger in the eye of the Trump administration.” The introduction to the resolution points to Hawai`i’s state motto, Ua mau ke ea 'o ka ‘āina i ka pono, which means, "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness." The resolution says the motto “reminds us that our deepest community values compel us to welcome the visitor and care for the wanderer in our midst.” The resolution describes the Hawaiian value of Ho'okipa, and says this “open-hearted hospitality calls us to welcome the visitor and the stranger alike, and to unselfishly extend to others the best that we have to give.” HR76 declares that “Hawai`i is justifiably proud of its diverse immigrant heritage, which has woven the many people of this State into a rich tapestry of races, ancestral groups, The motto on the state seal "reminds us that our deepest community values compel us to welcome the visitor and care for the wanderer in our midst," says the Ho`okipa Resolution authored by Rep. Joy San Buenaventura. religions, cultures, and languages from all over the world.” It points out that “Hawai`i's unique spirit of inclusiveness allows its diverse people to live in relative harmony because of our respect and aloha for each other and our commitment to peace and justice.” The Ho`okipa Resolution says, “our state and county governments cultivate a culture of inclusion when they ensure that all people in our communities receive equal protection under the law and respectful treatment, without regard to their race, national origin, ancestry, or citizenship status.” HR76 turns to the federal government and its new practices: “Hawai`i's inclusionary and peaceful culture is now threatened by inflammatory rhetoric and harsh federal policies that vilify immigrants, divide communities and families, and create fear and suspicion among different racial, ethnic, and ancestral groups.” The Ho`okipa Resolution puts forth that the U.S. Constitution “provides that the federal government may not commandeer state and local officials by demanding that they enforce federal laws and regulatory programs” and guarantees that “each state, and municipality within each state has the sovereign power to choose how they allocate their resources and cannot be forced to carry out the federal government’s agenda.” HR76 contends that “local law enforcement agencies should not be required to bear the immense financial burden of enforcing federal immigration laws.” It requests that the “State of Hawai`i and its political subdivisions recognize that immigration is a federal function and that local law enforcement agencies should decline to work with federal immigration agencies.” The Ho`okipa Resolution asks that the State of Hawai`i and its political subdivisions refrain from expending state and county funds and from entering into “any agreements under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act or any similar agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or by engaging in any other law enforcement activities that collaborate with ICE or any other federal law enforcement agency in connection with the deportation of undocumented immigrants who have not been convicted of committing a violent crime.” Testimony supporting the resolution came from many organizations, including the Filipino-Amercian Citizens League, Filipino-American Advocacy Network, Japanese American Citizens League, Imua Alliance, American Civil Liberties Union, Hawai`i J20+, Young Progressives Demanding Action, Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawai`i, Aloha Dream Team, Hawai`i Friends of Civil Rights, Muslim Association of Hawai`i, Nursing Advocates & Mentors, as well as church leaders, professors, students, attorneys and many other individuals. One petition asked that Hawai`i bccome an official Sanctuary State and Honolulu a Sanctuary City.

Seven from Nā‘ālehu Elementary represented Ka‘ū thanks to Preparing Responsive Educators using the Place-based Authentic Research in Earth Systems Program, affiliated with Alaska Pacific University. Sixth-graders Ariel Cohen, Jaydah Pilanca-Emmsley, Smith James, Madison Okimoto, Hulali Baji, Jessa Mae Tamayo and Candace Keohuloa (front) share Hawaiian implements with Alaskan peers. Nā‘ālehu sixth grade teachers Amber Keohuloa and Nellie Davis both participated in the program which, according to the PREPARES website, “seeks to expand, implement, and conduct research on a framework for providing indigenous students with the skills and knowledge needed for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers.” In doing so, PREPARES supports teachers with curriculum to help students learn about effects of climate change on Hawaiʻi and Alaska. This year’s participation included a cultural exchange with Nā‘ālehu students meeting with their Alaskan peers in person. Student participant Candace Keohuloa recalled watching native Alaskans share dances about hunting seals for food and clothing as one of her favorite memories of the trip. Another trip highlight included learning about the Iditarod and meeting dog sledder Mary Shields, said Jaydah Pilanca-Emmsley. Jessa Mae Tamayo, of Nā‘ālehu, said Shields even let them pet her dog sledding team of huskies and shared racing stories. Nā‘ālehu elementary students experience real Alaskan snow for the first time during an educational exchange with Alaskan students over Spring Break. For most, it was also the first time in a cold climate with falling snow. Both Madison Okimoto and Smith James recalled going to an ice park filled with ice sculptures and trying their hands at sledding as most memorable. However, for sixth-grader Ariel Cohen, night sky phenomena would be unforgettable. “My favorite memory was when I first walked outside and I saw the green stripe where the Northern Lights were, and cried happy tears,” she said. Hulali Baji also attended as the seventh member of the NES student team.

I'm excited to share with you today, HIS HEART'S REVENGE, Jenny's first foray into m/m romance! I've got all of the details, including a special sneak peek excerpt, so read on and enjoy! About HIS HEART’S REVENGE: Twenty years ago, I was too smart and too poor to be cool. Now I’m laughing my way to the bank—the bank I’m CEO of. Nothing can touch me. Except maybe him. We met at summer camp. We made out under the stars. Then he stabbed me in the back. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But I’m gonna go with hot. Alexander Evangelista is a millionaire with all the trappings: houses all over the world and hot guys lined up whenever he’s in need of some no-strings-attached company. He's on his way to world domination. A CEO in his own right, Cary Bell is competing for a major client with his boyhood crush. He’s never forgiven himself for betraying Alex. But with his professional reputation on the line, he’s going to have to find his inner cutthroat if he wants his new company to succeed. Alex isn’t about to let his nemesis steal a client out from under him. It’s time to break Cary’s company—and his heart. Goodreads \| Amazon \| B&N \| iTunes \| Kobo It was a pleasant and fun read, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. A beautiful M/M love story. Cary and Alex met during a camp as teenagers and Alex was deeply hurt and humiliated by Cary. He was already openly gay while Cary was still in crisis with his identity. Alex has sworn revenge and now is succeeding, he is destroying Cary's activities. But when they meet again they discover that the attraction between them is still very strong. The two main characters are really great. The life of Cary was much simpler than that of Alex: he comes from a wealthy family while his friend grew up with a single mother and has earned with great difficulty all he has. Alex is a tough businessman who has never passed the severe pain and disappointment at the refusal of Cary. But his apology allow them to begin a new journey together. It 's a well-written story, with a lot of passion and a strong chemistry between the two protagonists. Perfect for lovers of romance. Excerpt from HIS HEART'S REVENGE: Alexander waited a beat before saying, “Your place.” He meant it about not wanting people in his space. He wasn’t making that mistake again, at least not this soon after David. “Follow me.” And eff him if Alexander didn’t then do exactly what Cary told him, following him around to the back of the pool. Cary tried the back gate, but it was locked. The only way out was going to be through the house, and Cary apparently didn’t like that option because he rattled the lock in frustration. Alexander didn’t either. The party was stifling, and they were likely to get pulled into conversations. They might have to see Liu, which would be the human equivalent of a hundred cold showers, so surely would it remind them why this was a terrible idea. Alexander moved next to Cary to look at the gate, which was secured shut with a flimsy, rusty padlock. Cary rattled it again. “I guess we’ll have to go through—” No. If they went back through the house, Alexander wouldn’t be able to continue suspending his disbelief enough to actually go through with this. So he pushed Cary aside, retracted his leg and kicked—a hard, swift blow that was rewarded with the breaking of the lock. Cary inhaled sharply and glanced at Alexander. Alexander merely opened the gate and gestured to Cary to precede him. They covered the large estate quickly and in silence, bypassing the valet stand outside the front door and continuing to the open field where the guests’ cars were parked. They passed Cary’s BMW first. He paused with his hand on the door and turned to look at Alexander. The heat was back in his eyes, and he was smiling a little proto-smile, like he had a secret. Alexander almost groaned right then and there as a rogue thought exploded across his consciousness. That mouth will be your undoing. Again. “Three-fifty Kendall Avenue, main floor,” Cary said, still smiling, giving no sign that he felt any of the turmoil that was roiling around in Alexander’s chest. Alexander nodded. It was a long drive back to the city from the Lius’ bucolic country spread. A long time to think, to come to his senses and realize why this was the worst plan in the world. He needed to do something to prevent that from happening. So he grabbed Cary’s wrist and pulled him against his chest. “Will you do something for me?” He was surprised at how raspy his voice was. He shouldn’t have been—it merely sounded like he felt, which was on the verge of losing control. Cary nodded, and his cheeks flushed. Good. Finally an outward sign that Alexander had gotten to him. “Turn off your goddamned music for the drive home.” Cary must not have appreciated the directive, because he pulled back against Alexander’s grip. “Why the hell do you care what I listen to in the car by myself?” “Because I want you to concentrate—no distractions. I want you to spend the whole drive thinking about what I’m going to do to you. I want you to be ready for me.” Cary raised his eyebrows, but he stopped trying to free his wrist from Alexander’s grasp. “And what are you going to do to me?” “Everything.” About Jenny Holiday: Jenny Holiday started writing at age nine when her fourth grade teacher gave her a notebook and told her to start writing stories. That first batch featured mass murderers on the loose, alien invasions, and hauntings. From then on, she was always writing, often in her diary, where she liked to decorate declarations of existential angst with nail polish teardrops. Later, she channeled her penchant for scribbling into a more useful format, picking up a PhD in geography and then working in PR. Eventually, she figured out that happy endings were more fun than alien invasions. You can follow her on twitter at @jennyholi or visit her on the web at jennyholiday.com.

She now devotes herself to protecting wildlife and sheltering her heart until local contractor Rey Bowen reminds Echo that life can offer so much more. Rey Bowen is not the only one at Lake Serene with secrets and a desire to reboot his seriously derailed life. Meeting Echo reminds him that life can sparkle with joy and laughter and passion, but can he show the cautious Echo how to love again even as he struggles to trust his own heart? It 's a short story but very sweet and romantic with a really lovely setting. Echo has many wounds to heal both physical and emotional. She is afraid to suffer again and can not let her go, even in love. She was a firefighter and was seriously injured in a bad fire and has lost her boyfriend. Even Rey has lost everything because of an unscrupulous partner. They can try to rebuild their lives together. Echo is a very sweet girl. She deals with great commitment of wildlife protection and thanks to her we can know cute animals and breathtaking landscapes. Although it is the third book in the series it can be read as stand alone but I liked it so much that I can't wait to retrieve the other books. It was a really enjoyable read, full of emotions, very credible and realistic, an interesting trip in the mountains of Montana. “Ranger Echo Rose,” a rumbling voice said. Taking it slow, she turned in the direction the words came from. Rey Bowen was looking at her, or rather looking down at her. He wasn’t a giant of a man, just a shade over six feet, but that didn’t stop her from remembering she was at least seven inches shorter and only one hundred twenty pounds. For reasons she was careful not to examine too closely, she’d told herself the breadth of his chest and width of his shoulders were responsible for her unsettling reaction to him. What was she thinking? Hadn’t she learned, painfully, to keep emotional distance between herself and men? She had, darn it. She’d never drop her guard. Until she’d done in her ankle, she’d spent much of her time around physical people, most of them men. She still was around more men than women, but in recent months she'd mostly rubbed shoulders with people who spent their days behind desks. Despite how she'd been forced to earn her living since last summer, she believed she still understood the physical male. When he was around women he was trying to impress, the breed carried himself as if he was a bull elk, strutting a bit, hard muscles pushing against too-tight T-shirts, and gazes giving out bedroom vibes. Rey did none of those things. Instead, it was as if he’d built an emotional wall around himself. The reason was none of her business, darn it. She had enough to do dealing with her own life. AUTHOR Bio and Links: Vella Munn freely admits to being a dedicated and sometimes demented fiction writer. She has always been drawn to nature and those who feel at home in it.

So how can she refuse when she’s handed the dream job of running her aunt’s bookstore and a chance for a fresh start? Even though the bookstore is in Brockport, Connecticut, her former hometown, and a place she’d vowed to leave behind forever. When someone breaks into Maggie’s new business and leaves a threat on the wall, Detective Cooper Stanton is assigned the case. It’s been twenty years, but Coop hasn’t forgotten the way Maggie once charmed him at every turn—even with her controlling ways. This time, though, Coop refuses to let her seize the reins. What he doesn’t know is she plans to grab them anyway…and she’s got a secret she never shared. It 's a pleasant reading, engaging, full of suspense, secrets and twists. The love story is very intriguing and romantic. Maggie is trying to start a new life in her hometown far from her former traitor husband. She has inherited a library and is perfect for her new beginning. But unfortunately someone threatens her new business. The case is assigned to detective Cooper who was once in love with her. I loved all the characters, especially Maggie and Coop, are very funny and a wonderful couple The plot is well developed and woven with a perfect mix of mystery and romance, once you start it it's really hard to put it down, a page leads to another. If you love romantic suspense it is the perfect read for you. The door chimes jingled, but she kept working. “Forget something, Jax?” “Excuse me.” The smooth, baritone voice stopped her mid-stroke. She’d never forgotten it. It belonged to someone she’d thought had moved far away from Brockport. Someone she’d hoped never to see again. He cleared his throat. “Is this your dog?” Maggie slowly turned around. Her mouth went dry at the sight of Cooper Stanton. A man she’d once believed she loved. A man who’d rejected her. Roxy strained to get away while he held her collar. “Nice to see you, too.” Coop’s lips wavered but didn’t reach a smile. Cool and distant. Same as the last time they’d been together, a night filled with passion and anger. She stepped down the ladder. Hadn’t he moved away from town with hopes of becoming a major league baseball star, a promise to put their small town on the map? She landed on the scattered newspapers, avoiding the splattered paint. Roxy whimpered. Coop crouched at the dog’s side, keeping a firm grip on the chocolate colored mix while he whispered words of assurance. He stroked the dog’s torso, his hand no longer that of a teenage boy, but of a grown man, the fingers long and sturdy with strong veins. “So?” Coop pried his adoring eyes off the canine and glanced at Maggie. “Is she yours or should I keep looking for the owner?” At the sound of his voice, Roxy flipped back her head and dragged a saliva-coated tongue across his cheek. He grinned. Coop always did like promiscuous women. “Yes. She’s mine.” Maggie brushed aside a few stray wisps of hair near her face, worked free from a plastic headband, escaping like the decades-old hurt now ripping at her heart. Bestselling author Sharon Struth believes you’re never too old to pursue a dream. When she’s not writing, she and her husband happily sip their way through the scenic towns of the Connecticut Wine Trail.

However, a phone call from her cousin Joe, who runs a house-and-pet-sitting service, saves her from a festive season of Whist, boredom and overindulging. So Noelle is off to France to mind a dozen South American mammals. She arrives amidst a blizzard and quickly discovers that something is definitely wrong at the farm. The animals are there all right, but pretty much nothing else – no power, no furniture and, disastrously, no fee. Add to that a short-tempered intruder in the middle of the night, a premature delivery, long-lost relatives and participation in a living crèche, and this is shaping up to be a noel that Noelle will never forget. Fa-La-Llama-La is a feel-good, festive and fun romcom with a resourceful heroine, a hero who’s a bit of a handful and some right woolly charmers. This book is perfect to read during Christmas time. It 's a sweet and romantic comedy with likeable llamas. Noelle is not feeling Christmas spirit, she has lost her job, has left her boyfriend two months before the wedding and now lives with her parents and has lost the best grandmother in the world. Fortunately she receives a job offer in France, south of Paris. But when she comes there is a snowstorm and she finds an empty house with no light and no furniture, and with llamas in an enclosure. She tries somehow to spend the night there but is woken up by the new owner, Nick. He has been cheated, the previous owners are gone taking away all the furniture and leaving the llamas. He's very angry. They will try to unite their efforts to solve their problems. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable read with some really comic moments as when they have to persuade a llama to parade in the Church for the Christmas party. It was great to visit the French countryside covered with snow and discover some of its Christmas traditions. Hi, I’m Stephanie Dagg. I’m an English expat living in France, having moved here with my family in 2006 after fourteen years as an expat in Ireland. I now consider myself a European rather than ‘belonging’ to any particular country. The last ten years have been interesting, to put it mildly. Taking on seventy-five acres with three lakes, two hovels and one cathedral-sized barn, not to mention an ever increasing menagerie, makes for exciting times. The current array of animals includes alpacas, llamas, huarizos (alpaca-llama crossbreds, unintended in our case and all of them thanks to one very determined alpaca male), sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys, not forgetting our pets of dogs, cats, zebra finches, budgies and Chinese quail. Before we came to France we had was a dog and two chickens, so it’s been a steep learning curve. I’m married to Chris and we have three bilingual TCKs (third culture kids) who are resilient and resourceful and generally wonderful.

They're funny, flawed, and will have you begging to enter their circle of friends. SEASIDE WHISPERS Having a mad crush on her boss's son, Matt Lacroux--an intriguing mix of proper gentleman and flirtatious bad boy--is probably not the smartest idea for single mother Mira Savage. Especially when the company, and her job, is already on shaky ground. But as a Princeton professor, Matt's life is hours away from Mira's home on Cape Cod, keeping him safely in the fantasy-only zone. And as a single mother to six-year-old Hagen, with a floundering company to save, fantasies are all she has time for. With hopes of becoming dean off the table, and too many months of longing for a woman who lived too far away to pursue, Matt's publishing contract couldn't have come at a better time. He heads home to Cape Cod on a brief sabbatical, intent on starting his book, and finally getting his arms around sweet, seductive Mira. A surprise encounter leads to white-hot passions and midnight confessions. The more time Matt and Mira spend together, the deeper their relationship grows, and the love and attention Matt showers on Hagen is more than she has ever dreamed of. But Matt's sabbatical is only temporary, and Mira's not saving his father's company so she can leave it behind. Will their whispers of love be enough for one of them to change their life forever? SEASIDE WHISPERS is part of the SEASIDE SUMMERS series, and part of the "Love in Bloom" family. Each book may be read as a stand-alone novel, or as part of the series. CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+ It 's a very sweet and romantic story that warms the heart. The two main characters are adorable and perfect together. Mira is a single mother of a beautiful child, Hagen. Her father doesn't want them but fortunately they have her brothers and Matt's father that she works for and supports her. She's in love with Matt, but she never thought that he reciprocated. Matt instead loves her very much and wants her and her son are happy. But he must to make a delicate decision. Matt is a great guy, sexy, generous, loyal, intelligent, a person who provides stability and security. Mira is a very sweet and present mum. I like very much that they have involved the child in their history. Hagen is a nerd who loves to read, impossible not to love him. It was a truly enjoyable and engaging reading, I could not put it down. There are very funny moments, some very sweet and almost touching. It's perfect to read at any time of day and year. I recommend it to all lovers of romance and Melissa Foster. Available to buy from......

LoTempio CRIME AND CATNIP by T. C. LoTempio Crime and Catnip (A Nick and Nora Mystery) 3rd in Series Berkley (December 6, 2016) Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages E-Book ASIN: B01CZCW4ZY Nick and Nora aren’t just pussyfooting around this time as they deal with a missing person’s case and murder. While catering a gala for the Cruz Museum, Nora Charles agrees to look into the disappearance of director Violet Crenshaw’s niece, a case previously undertaken by her frisky feline friend Nick’s former owner, a private eye whose whereabouts are also currently unknown. As Nora and her curious cat Nick pull at the string of clues, they begin to unravel a twisted tale of coded messages, theft, false identities, murder, and international espionage. Nora dares to hope that the labyrinth of leads will not only help them locate the missing young woman, but also solve the disappearance of the detective. That’s if Nora can stay alive long enough to find him… INCLUDES DELICIOUS SANDWICH RECIPES It was a fun and easy read, very addictive, once you start it's really hard to put it down. Nora tries to solve a complicated case of a missing person with the help of her cat, Nick cat. She obviously will be in danger. She also continues her pursuit of Nick's owner, mysteriously disappeared. I love Nick, is a chubby black and white cat very nice and I am happy that it is a protagonist of this story and not just a secondary character. This story is really well written, with many twists, false identities, secret codes, international espionage. Although it is the third book in the series you can be read as a standalone and I can't wait to read the next adventure of Nick and Nora. Highly recommended for lovers of cozy mystery and cats.

__label__wiki	0.71375	0.71375	Friday, Jun 19, 2015, 10:31 am Ag-Gag Laws: The Less You Know The Better By Dayton Martindale A pig, wounded and confined, photographed by an undercover investigator at Country View Family Farms in Fannettsburg, Pennsylvania. "Ag-gag" laws in some states are making this sort of investigation illegal. Mercy For Animals MFA / Flickr Since a Republican majority was elected to the North Carolina state legislature in 2012, Gov. Pat McCrory (R) has signed into law bills that cut unemployment benefits, restrict voting rights, limit health care access and infringe on abortion rights. He even repealed the Racial Justice Act, intended to prevent discriminatory application of the death penalty. But some bills passed by the GOP legislature are so egregious that even the conservative McCrory has felt compelled to exercise his veto. Take House Bill 405, which McCrory vetoed on May 29, the latest in a growing number of what are known as “ag-gag” laws. The details vary state by state, but the intent remains the same: to criminalize people who blow the whistle on animal abuse, labor violations, groundwater pollution and further malpractice within factory farms—and often in other industries. On June 3, the North Carolina House and Senate overrode McCrory’s veto and House Bill 405 was passed into law. Effective January 1, 2016, it will be illegal in North Carolina for an employee to record “images or sound occurring within an employer’s premises” provided that she entered those premises without “bona fide intent” to carry out her employment, and that she uses this recording “to breach the person’s duty of loyalty to the employer.” Unattended cameras are also barred. Targets of the bill include animal rights groups like the Mercy For Animals, PETA, the Humane Society, and Compassion Over Killing, all of which hire undercover investigators to find temporary employment within the meat industry, research labs, puppy mills, zoos and circuses to expose abuses. These groups’ exposés have made national news on multiple occasions, spurring change in the industry and generating popular support for animal welfare. Vandhana Bala, General Counsel for Mercy For Animals, calls undercover investigations “the only meaningful and effective watchdogs” for the animal agriculture industry, given the dearth of laws regulating farmed animal welfare. Such investigations “serve an absolutely crucial role” in protecting these animals, she says. McCrory is no fan of undercover investigators. “I support the purpose of this bill,” he wrote on his official website. He explained, however, that he vetoed House Bill 405 because it “does not adequately protect or give clear guidance to honest employees who uncover criminal activity. I am concerned that subjecting these employees to potential civil penalties will create an environment that discourages them from reporting illegal activities.” It is also now illegal to even “assist” such a violation, which would not only punish the animal rights groups who hired the investigators but potentially even journalists who publicize illegally obtained recordings. And while the public debate has largely revolved around animal agriculture—North Carolina is home to nearly 10 million hogs—the same penalties would apply to whistleblowing employees in all industries, from daycare centers to nursing homes. ‘Movement Under Siege’ The crackdown against animal rights activists began in the early 1990s, and received a boost in the wake of 9/11, as surveillance and counter-terrorism measures surged. The excuse for the crackdown was the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), an association of decentralized animal rights cells that raids animal labs, releases mink from fur farms and otherwise threatens the profits of industries that exploit animals. While ALF has claimed responsibility for millions of dollars in property damage, one of its few requirements for any activist adopting the ALF mantle is to avoid harm to human and nonhuman animals. Despite this commitment to economic, not physical, harm, ALF’s frequent arson and other illegal activity has earned the group (and its environmentalist analogue, the Earth Liberation Front) the label of “terrorist.” According to the FBI, “eco-terrorists” are the number one domestic terrorist threat. Terrorists or not, ALF’s activities do not appear to be deterred by FBI attention. The real damage, as journalist Will Potter writes in his 2011 book, Green is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege, is when measures designed to counter the ALF are used to harass and even imprison activists operating aboveground, within legal confines. Potter explains that agribusiness and pharmaceutical corporations used the influential conservative lobbying group American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to push legislation “labeling activists as terrorists.” It can be “difficult to see ALEC’s fingerprints on some of these bills,” Potter says, because of the “secretive” nature of the organization. Still, ag-gag laws are “clearly heavily influenced by ALEC’s legislation.” A 2004 model bill crafted by ALEC called the “Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act” would prohibit individuals from, among other things, taking photography or video with the intent to “defame” an animal facility. Violators would be placed on a terrorist registry. In 2011, Iowa became the first state to craft an ag-gag bill based on the 2004 model (without the “terrorist” language), although some states had passed related legislation in the early 1990s. The bill became law in 2012, ushering in a renewed era of anti-whistleblower legislation. These laws were unapologetic in preventing unauthorized recordings of animal agriculture, and as Potter relates, “The press hammered them.” More recent ag-gag legislation includes variations to appear more palatable, Potter explains, such as “forcing people to disclose connections with animal protection groups on job applications” and “forcing employees and whistleblowers to turn over information to the police, rather than the media.” North Carolina removed all references to agriculture to portray the law as “being about intellectual property and financial secrets,” which in reality just makes the law more expansive. Not Just For Hogs What’s bad for nonhuman animals is often bad for humans, too. Factory farms have led to environmental degradation, public health concerns and labor abuses just as surely as they have normalized the suffering of pigs, cows, and chickens. In North Carolina, for example, the massive pools of hog waste poison the air and water of local communities. As Laura Orlando writes in “The Legacy of Slavery: What Inequality and Industrial Hog Operations Have in Common,” in North Carolina this pollution disproportionately impacts poor people of color, often concentrated in regions of the state previously home to large slave populations. This March, Wyoming passed a new breed of ag-gag law. While the legislation was pushed by cattle ranchers, the enemy this time is not snooping vegans, but rather clean-water advocates. A small environmental group called the Western Watersheds Project has unearthed troubling evidence of E. coli in Wyoming’s rivers. The likely culprit? Cow manure. In response, Wyoming ranchers launched a lawsuit against the Western Watersheds Project last August, and lobbied through a new law criminalizing the collection of “resource data.” The legislation defines collection broadly: “to take a sample of material, acquire, gather, photograph or otherwise preserve information in any form from open land which is submitted or intended to be submitted to any agency of the state or federal government.” So, if someone in Wyoming stumbles across an environmental problem on open land—that is, land not incorporated into a city or town—they can be prosecuted if they bring evidence of public health threat to a government agency. On the surface, farm labor may appear to have a mixed relationship with ag-gag laws. After all, many of these undercover investigations get workers fired, and some have led to prosecutions. On June 11, Mercy For Animals released documentation of animal abuse on a Colorado dairy farm, in which infected wounds were left untreated and cows were kicked, punched, and stabbed with screwdrivers. Mercy For Animals called on “the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department and District Attorney’s Office to take swift and decisive action”—action that could have severe consequences for the often underpaid, sometimes undocumented workers. As detailed in a 2014 In These Times investigative report by Joseph Sorrentino, dairy workers are horrifically exploited—poorly trained (if at all), subjected to dirty and dangerous conditions and forced to work long hours. Mercy For Animals recognizes that these workers are not the real culprits: The organization’s main goal is for the dairy industry to implement stronger animal welfare standards and for people to adopt a vegan diet. Bala recognizes that the “culture of cruelty starts at the top.” But she and her organization believe the punishment of workers due to these investigations can send a “strong message” to the industry, and that holding the direct perpetrators of violence accountable is worth the human cost. In a 2012 interview with Potter, an unnamed undercover activist reflected on this tension in her work: “The overwhelming majority of people working inside these facilities are people of color and migrant workers who have been told, much like the migrant workers of the early 20th Century, that the only pathway to citizenship or livelihood is from the bottom up, and factory farms are the very bottom of America’s employment sector. … As activists, I believe we can be doing more to reach out to the people who are struggling for their own rights within these power structures.” This activist clarified that she did not mean to excuse these workers of responsibility for their actions, but felt the largest portion of the blame lies “on the shoulders of CEOs and industry leaders who are the ones requiring that the lines move faster, that more eggs are hatched, more milk pumped and more weight gained as quickly as possible, no matter the consequences. These are the people who are requiring their workers to toil away in filthy, unsafe environments for 10, 12, 15 hours a day with no overtime.” Profit-driven corporations that treat nonhumans like disposable objects often do the same to their human employees. Understanding this, the AFL-CIO opposes ag-gag bills across the country, realizing that undercover investigations are sometimes needed to document violations of worker’s rights. In Sorrentino’s report, out of over 10 laborers interviewed, only two chose to use their real name. Even without an ag-gag bill in New Mexico, where the story was based, they feared repercussion for even talking about their working conditions. On May 17 on Last Week Tonight, John Oliver reported on the exploitation of chicken farmers. Corporations such as Tyson and Perdue contract out their chickens to growers, who must then supply the barns and other materials at their own expense, raising the chickens according to exacting and often inhumane specifications. Many farmers spoke of industry retaliation against growers who speak out, through docks in pay or being given inferior—that is, less profitable—chicks. Only two growers attended a town hall on the subject in Alabama, claiming that most stayed away for fear of repercussions. Life Under Ag-Gag The first ag-gag laws date to the early 1990s, and they have now spread to nine states (10 if you count Wyoming’s anti-environmentalist law). So far there have been only two attempted prosecutions using this legislation. Both cases were in Utah, neither involved the undercover investigators the laws supposedly target, and neither attempt was successful. The first charge was against animal rights advocate Amy Meyer in February 2013, who took a video at a slaughterhouse site when she saw a downer cow (a sick animal unable to stand up) being shoved out of the way by a bulldozer. She had not set foot on the slaughterhouse grounds, and the charges were dropped. The second charge was against four California vegans who drove to a hog farm and took photographs last September. Their attorneys say that, like Meyer, they remained on public property. Prosecutors eventually dropped the “agricultural operation interference” charges, but kept the less serious trespass charge. The defendants pleaded not guilty. The true cost of ag-gag laws is perhaps measured not in how often they are applied but in their chilling effect. Animal rights groups say they no longer send investigators to ag-gag states. Workers, already afraid of speaking out, are now less likely to do so, about both nonhuman animal abuse and their own exploitation. More ag-gag bills have failed than have passed, and legal challenges have been mounted in Idaho and Utah. When North Carolina and other states succumb to ALEC and the financial muscle of Big Ag, they fly in the face of public opinion. A May 2015 poll by the American Society for the Protection of Animals found that North Carolina residents support undercover investigations and oppose ag-gag laws by margins of nearly three to one. Both Bala and Potter think that the industry strategy to silence whistleblowers has backfired: These laws have “suggested to the public that these agriculture industries have a lot to hide,” Bala says. The struggle over ag-gag carries international ramifications as well: Similar legislation has been introduced this year in Australia. According to Potter, “People around the world are looking to Americans to see how we respond” to these laws. “For all its faults, the democratic system in America is seen throughout the world as having strict protections on freedom of speech.” Workers and the public do not all share the ethics of the animal liberation movement. But most of us are concerned about the working conditions of the laborers who produce our food, the treatment of the animals we eat and the integrity of the environment that sustains us all.

__label__wiki	0.76702	0.76702	Council for National Policy: What Is Its Agenda? by Charlotte Iserbyt – Exclusive to LFODR in 2018 Is it pro-American? Is it what you think it is? Note: It is important to remember that the Heritage Foundation has prepared policy guidelines for all Republican Administrations, including the President and all Cabinet secretaries since the election of Ronald Reagan. Charlotte Iserbyt has written about many of these organizations, such as, and including, the Heritage Foundation and the Council for National Policy, with regard to the hijacking of the conservative movement. First, some interesting background information on the effort to get the USA out of the United Nations. The late Rosalind Kress Haley was considered the Grande Dame of the Council for National Policy (CNP). [CNP Membership List] I, Charlotte, had met Rosalind Haley through a mutual friend. It was through this mutual friend that I was introduced to the late Norman Dodd [Video], Research Director, Investigation of the Tax-Exempt foundations. Roz and I were in touch off and on during the 1980s. Roz was especially upset over the Heritage Foundation’s support for the U.S.-USSR Education and Cultural Exchange Agreements signed between Presidents Gorbachev and President Reagan in 1985, and the Carnegie-USSR Agreement with the Soviet Academy of Science. I stayed in touch with Roz from that time on. In 1996, having become extremely upset regarding foreign military exercises taking place on USA soil, I called Roz. She was equally upset so we decided to send a request to all members of the Council for National Policy to support our desire for the USA to get out of the United Nations. At that time there was legislation (H.R. 2535) sponsored by former Congressman Joe Scarborough, FL (now a famous cable TV host) calling for U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations. Roz and I assembled many articles regarding the subject of foreign military exercises taking place on USA soil, history of UN, etc. and enclosed them, in a big brown envelope, with a letter to each member of the CNP, requesting he/she support our effort to get Americans to support HR 2535. The idea (project) was for us to contact our lists of activists to ask that they very simply have hundreds of postcards reproduced with the following text and send them/and or distribute them nationwide: “SHARE THESE TRUTHS! The UN Charter (by Soviet agent Alger Hiss and Russian-born Leo Pasvolsky) will replace our U.S. Constitution and our freedoms in the planned socialist world government.” “U.N. Sec. Gen’l. Boutros Boutros Ghali (annual pay $217,546 has called for a world income tax (1/16/96)”. “Children are being dumbed down and trained as world workers in specific, no choice, career slots starting in grade 4 (Federal School-to-Work legislation)”. “Request your Congressmen (800-972-3524) support H.R. 2535 U.S. withdrawal from United Nations. Ask Senators (800-962-3524) to sponsor a similar bill in the U.S. Senate”. “We will be living a nightmare under global tyranny UNLESS YOU SHARE THIS INFORMATION citizen to citizen, state by state, nationwide. Make exact copies and distribute everywhere! DEMAND AMERICAN FREEDOM!!” On the back of the postcard we left half for recipient address; the other half held following text: “Pass-It-Along Plan: Reproduce 4 copies at a time (USPS postcard size) on 8-1/2×11 HEAVY paper to be cost effective; can be faxed and or put on Internet.” “Mail to friends and include with holiday cards and paid bills. Always carry a pack of these cards in your pocket or bag to leave in public places, under windshield wipers, on bulletin boards, in professional offices – EVERYWHERE!” “This pass-it-along project MUST cover the country by Jan. 1, 1997.” “DO YOUR PART BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE TO SAVE OUR FREEDOM!” My son Sam (www.AmericanDeception.com), who was/is computer savvy, located the CNP membership list on Internet, with members’ addresses, and made labels for brown envelopes. Roz and I wrote a cover letter and, because I was so detested by most neoconservatives by that time, we decided that she, alone, should be the one to sign the letters. (Also all members had very, very high regard for Roz). I stuffed all the envelopes and mailed them. We had only one response, out of several hundred letters sent, from Lou Sheldon of Traditional Values. How much more evidence does one need than the above dismissal by CNP members of our request that CNP support, philosophically and financially, our important effort to extricate the USA from the jaws of the communist United Nations? CNP didn’t know I was involved in project, so it was not because members detest Charlotte. Members were evidently instructed from somewhere high up to ignore even the request of a very distinguished member of the CNP by the name of Rosalind Haley! Who from high up pulled the plug on our effort? More on Rosalind Kress Haley Haley Personal Series [3 boxes] contains J. Evetts Haley’s and Rosalind Kress Haley’s personal and political correspondence; positional writings; Ed Walsh (Texas representative) and some J. Evetts Haley campaign materials; bios; UNESCO material including mailing lists, speeches, extensive correspondence and clippings. The time span is 1950s – 1990s. The J. Evetts Haley and Rosalind Kress Haley material was not separated in the original files. Correspondence includes John Connally, Philip Crane, Ronald Reagan, Arch B. Marshall, Nickey Loeb, and Howard Kershner. Other noted individuals include Wendy Borcherdt, Dan Lyons, and Betty Russinoff. Note: I guess Roz’s correspondence with me, Charlotte, the troublemaker, was deliberately not included in the Rosalind Kress Haley Personal Series. May Rosalind Haley, a lovely, brilliant, patriotic lady rest in peace. Heritage Foundation Agenda 1. Stuart Butler, Fabian Socialist from UK, arrived at Heritage in 1980 and was involved in FIRST effort to craft socialized health care legislation. 2. Heritage Foundation’s Richard Allen drafted the North American Free Trade Agreement 3. Heritage Foundation was strongly behind President Reagan’s signing education, cultural, and other exchange (municipal, et al… regional government) agreements with President Gorbachev of the Soviet Union and Carnegie Corporation’s agreements with the Soviet Academy of Science/ 4. Heritage Foundation was principal mover and shaker behind tax-funded school choice and charters with UNELECTED boards necessary for implementation of Soviet (communist/fascist) polytechnical workforce training education. 5. Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese, with Caspar Weinberger, former cabinet official, was deeply involved in the White House Private Sector Initiative (corporate fascism) in 1981 (merger of the public and private sector). I, Charlotte, served as U.S. Dept. of Education liaison to that unconstitutional White House initiative. From “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America”, page 205: (available as free PDF) An article entitled “Industrial Policy Urged for GOP” was published in The Washington Post on May 14, 1984: SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A conservative study group founded by supporters of President Reagan is about to issue a report that advocates Republicans shed some of their deep-rooted antipathy to a planned economy. An industrial policy accepted by both political parties and by business and labor is essential to revitalize America’s dwindling clout in the world economy, according to the study’s editor, Professor Chalmers Johnson of the University of California. “The Industrial Policy Debate” is to be issued today by the Institute for Contemporary Studies, a think-tank founded by presidential counselor Edwin Meese, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and other Reagan supporters.” Caspar W. Weinberger Dies at 88 – by David Stout Mar 28, 2006 – Caspar W. Weinberger, who held high positions under three Republican Presidents and oversaw the biggest and costliest military buildup in peacetime history as Ronald Reagan’s secretary of defense, died yesterday in Bangor, Me., after a brief illness. 6. Maine Heritage invited a New Zealand professor in to speak regarding the glories of consolidation/regionalism (communism). I attended the conference in Augusta about ten years ago. Our so-called conservative Governor LePage is 100% controlled by Heritage and has signed executive Orders recently to further consolidate our schools for workforce training and to take control of the prison system at the state level. 7. Heritage Foundation published last September, 2017, Edwin Meese’s paper supporting Community Oriented Policing System (aka East German STASI policing system) which is now going in all over the country: last nail in coffin. Maine has been a leader in all this treason. Since Heritage has an affiliate in most all states (“Heritage” not always mentioned in state affiliate name), your state could be equally involved in treason.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3416
__label__cc	0.583056	0.416944	This Explains Howard Dean Vermont is an idyllic place, with great skiing, picturesque mountains, winding backcountry roads, hiking, and quaint "bed and breakfast" inns where you can really relax, and let the pressures of everyday life melt away. It's also the home of "independent" Bernie Sanders, the only socialist in Congress, now running for the Senate, and "independent" Jim Jeffords, the only senator to be elected as a member of one party, then betray those voters and his party and change affiliations right after the election. It also managed to elect Howard Dean Governor. Five times. With that as a background, it comes as little surprise that five towns in Vermont have voted to impeach President Bush, and by large margins. NEWFANE, Vt. Mar 8, 2006 (AP)— In five Vermont communities, a centuries-old tradition of residents gathering in town halls to conduct local business became a vehicle to send a message to Washington: Impeach the president. An impeachment article, approved by a paper ballot 121-29 in Newfane Tuesday, calls on Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against President Bush, alleging he misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying. "It absolutely affects us locally," said Newfane select board member Dan DeWalt, who drafted the impeachment article. "It's our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, who are dying" in the war in Iraq. At least four other Vermont towns, spurred by publicity about Newfane's resolution, endorsed similar resolutions during Tuesday's meetings: Brookfield, Dummerston, Marlboro and Putney. Just so you don't think the town meeting was a total waste of time, they manage to attend to some serious business also. Among the other items discussed was whether the town should fix some of its 100-year-old sidewalks. Some people felt that this was a very important issue for this 1600 person town to address. "As a teacher I can't say to my kids that what happens on the national level doesn't affect us at the local level," Ann Landenberger told the Newfane meeting. "Would that we could all be in a cocoon, but that is not the case." That's right, a teacher. Ms. Landenberger wouldn't be related to Jay Bennish, would she? A justice of the peace tells us what we already know. Greg Record, a local justice of the peace, criticized the amount of time and attention such advisory votes get. "We spend more time on these things than on a million dollar budget item," said Record, who said the town is made up of people from the "far left." Posted by T.M.

Economic. Sustainable. Growth With Blue Skies Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Financial Results and Provides Business Update Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Financial Results and Provides Business Update 37.4 KB HOUSTON, Feb. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (SES) (Nasdaq:SYMX) today reported financial and operating results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter, ended December 31, 2014. "During our fiscal 2015 second quarter we have gained good traction, deploying our technology, even in the face of some short-term challenges. We achieved two key sales milestones in China in December. The Innovative Coal Chemical Design Institute (ICCDI), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of our partner in China, Suzhou Tianwo Science and Technology, has been awarded three projects from China Aluminum Company (CHALCO), which will use SES gasification technology supplied from our TSEC Joint Venture. This order represents seven SES gasification systems which will create clean energy syngas fuel, replacing the need for expensive natural gas and improving the economics of three industrial plants," said Robert W. Rigdon, SES President and CEO. "Also in December, together with TSEC, we signed a framework agreement with Dengfeng Power Group for a series of engineering and evaluation studies for a 160 MW distributed power generation plant. This undertaking is intended to lead to another important first order in China for the combined SES and GE technologies power plant model, and potentially unlocks China for a cleaner coal distributed power product. "TSEC reports to us that its China pipeline is strong and forecasts more near-term orders. The SES global business development pipeline is also healthy, topping 40 projects across market verticals that include distributed power, with collaborator GE, Direct Reduced Iron with partner Midrex Technologies, and industrial conglomerates like CHALCO eager to economically and cleanly unlock the energy in low-cost indigenous natural resources with SES gasification technology," continued Rigdon. "Our short-term challenges this past quarter have been due to declining methanol commodity prices," said Rigdon. "The ZZ methanol plant reported $3.7 million in revenue for the quarter from sales of 12,268 tonnes of methanol. Methanol prices have decreased significantly which caused a non-cash impairment charge under applicable accounting rules on the ZZ Joint Venture facility of $20.9 million increasing our operating loss for the fiscal second quarter to $26.1 million. The ZZ Joint Venture is currently selling methanol and is carefully managing its cash. SES is not putting any funds into the ZZ Joint Venture and has no intention to do so at this time." Rigdon concluded: "Our operations team in China is evaluating and pursuing new opportunities with the potential to repurpose the ZZ gasifier systems, and is focused on gaining formal acceptance of the Yima gasification systems which opens the door for us to monetize that investment. Separately, we have launched a strategic Technology Company partnering initiative to accelerate growth of the company which we believe has the potential to both greatly strengthen our ability to close and deliver orders, as well as generate cash in the transaction and lower our overhead run rate significantly. In addition, we have contained our ZZ Joint Venture costs, which effectively lowers our annualized general and administrative expenses (excluding the ZZ Joint Venture general and administrative expenses) to just under $8 million as of December 31, 2014. We believe these steps, in combination with our cash on-hand, create a much stronger cash position for the company over the next two to three quarters and simultaneously improve our ability to convert pipeline projects to orders." Recent Corporate Highlights China Joint Venture: SES's China joint venture with Suzhou Tianwo Science and Technology (TST): Jiangsu Tianwo-SES Clean Energy Technologies (TSEC): Industrial Fuels: China Aluminum Company - The Innovative Coal Chemical Design Institute (ICCDI), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of TST, was awarded three industrial syngas supply plant projects, valued at $105 million dollars, by China Aluminum Company (CHALCO), China's largest alumina and primary aluminum producer, in December. ICCDI will serve as the general contractor providing engineering and construction of the three projects, and TSEC will supply seven SES gasification systems to produce approximately 175,000 NCM/hr of industrial syngas as a clean energy fuel for three existing aluminum manufacturing plants, located in the Shandong, Henan and Shanxi provinces. Distributed Power: Dengfeng Power Group - SES and TSEC signed a framework agreement for cleaner coal distributed power in China with Dengfeng Power, in December. The initial phase of the program will be a pre-feasibility study for the first of several planned 160 MW distributed power generation plants designed to utilize two SES XL3000 advanced fluidized bed gasification systems; gasification equipment provided by TSEC, and four GE model LM2500+G4 aero-derivative gas turbines and related power generation equipment. Upon the completion and successful results of the feasibility studies, and requisite government approvals, the first plant is expected to be built in Dengfeng, Henan Province. It is intended to serve as a model for additional projects in Dengfeng (up to 600 MW total), as well as elsewhere in Henan Province and in other regions of China. Dengfeng Power, an industrial conglomerate specializing in thermal power generation whose products include aluminum, other non-ferrous metals and cement, and who operates power generation plants and coal mines in Henan Province, is funding the program and will serve as the owner and operator of the first project. Distributed Power Business: Collaborative efforts with General Electric and regional partners, IEG and Tuten, continue. Work on the first identified 160 MW distributed power project, that combines SES technology and the XL3000 with GE aero-derivative gas turbines, for K-Electric in Pakistan has completed the initial feasibility phase and we believe the results are positive. We are working to get the project into the next phase which is to develop the complete design, the Power Purchase Agreement, the EPC agreement and the equity and debt arrangements for the project. Additionally, proposals for the distributed power product offering are currently in review with prospective customers in Japan, western and southern Africa, and China. Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Steel Business: SES and Midrex Technologies, Inc., a division of Kobe Steel, are progressing business development efforts in both China and India. This next-generation, clean and efficient DRI product offering combines SES technology and the XL3000 gasification system with the industry-leading MIDREX® Direct Reduction Process to utilize abundant low-quality coals, versus natural gas, to convert iron ore into high-purity DRI. India Initiative: India's new government leadership's improved business environment for GDP growth has opened two near-term opportunities for SES in areas of high demand. In the fertilizer industry, SES is actively engaged in a rigorous qualification process for becoming the technology and equipment supplier to convert coal into syngas for a DRI steel facility and separately for a high profile coal gasification-based ammonia-to-fertilizer project funded by both private and government entities. Plant Operations: Synthesis Energy Systems (Zao Zhuang) New Gas Company Joint Venture (ZZ) - This past quarter, the ZZ Joint Venture facility in Shandong Province, China, sold 12,268 tonnes of methanol which generated approximately $3.7 million in revenues. Due to continued falling methanol commodity prices, the ZZ JV switched off the gasifiers in December, when prices dipped below the point where there was a positive contribution from the gasification section. The ZZ JV has continued to produce methanol from coke oven gas (COG). Also in December, Red Leaf and the pipeline company completed the pipeline for the additional supply of COG, which ran for several days, but the ZZ JV made a strategic decision and turned off the Red Leaf COG until such time as methanol price strengthens significantly. The ZZ JV methanol operation is currently generating adequate cash to pay all its fixed and variable costs except for the COG feed stock from the ZZ JV partner, Xuecheng Energy. Yima Joint Venture Methanol Plant (Yima) - Yima has been operating during this past quarter at reduced capacity, under improved operational management guided by parent company, Henan Coal and Chemical Industry Group, while it continues to complete systems and commissioning work that was not completed properly by the prior JV leadership team. The target is to reach 100% rates during summer 2015, at which time the plant can move into its originally intended operating phase of producing 300KTPY of chemical grade methanol. SES's focus for Yima is to achieve formal acceptance of the gasifier systems. Corporate News: Ms. DeLome Fair joined the SES executive team as Senior Vice President, Gasification Technology in December. Her 25-year gasification career spans leadership positions with GE Energy and Chevron/Texaco. Prior to joining SES, Ms. Fair led GE Energy's global team of 135 engineers in the U.S., India and China, as General Manager, Gasification & Process Systems Technology. In that post, she was responsible for engineering to GE's global gasification business, including business development support, execution of customer orders, new product development, services, and project management. Previously, Ms. Fair's expertise in gasification and IGCC technology led to her appointment as GE's Chief Consulting Engineer for gasification. Fiscal Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results (Unaudited) The Company reported $3.9 million of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014, versus $5.9 million revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in methanol prices. The Company's operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $26.1 million versus an operating loss of $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to a $20.9 million impairment loss of ZZ's long-lived assets. The net loss attributable to stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $25.6 million, or $0.35 per share, versus a loss of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share, for the prior year's second quarter primarily due to the impairment of assets. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million and working capital of $3.6 million. SES's President and CEO, Robert W. Rigdon, CFO and Corporate Secretary, Roger L.

__label__wiki	0.605201	0.605201	Definitely a Democrat A BBC News website report, published overnight, provoked an early morning tweet from DB, linking to Newssniffer, copying in various BBC reporters: The "comical" nature of the first few versions of the report is made even more worse by the fact that the first three versions (the ones that don't tell you Mr Northam is a Democrat) mention "the Republican Party of Virginia". Indeed, reading the original three versions of the report, I suspect most readers unfamiliar with Governor Northam would simply assume he was a Republican from the way the BBC wrote those versions. Maybe one of that bevy of BBC beauties who DB copied in to his complaint had a hand in the report though, because the next update did introduce the word "Democrat". (Coincidence?). The headline, however, is sticking with 'Virginia Governor Ralph Northam sorry for racist yearbook photo'. To his credit, one beauty - Jon Sopel - replied to DB's tweet (though quite what he's "disagreeing" with in his first reply isn't clear!): Jon Sopel: He’s a Democrat. There. And I disagree. I think the fact that he is a Democrat will intensify the pressure on him from liberal groups to fall upon his sword. DB: It doesn't say so in this online report: https://www.newssniffer.co.uk/articles/1732817/diff/1/2 … If he was Republican the headline would say "Republican Governor..." and it would be mentioned again in the opening paragraph. Jon Sopel: It should be... Jon Sopel: Just checked on front page of BBC Website. Prominently says he’s a Democrat. DB: But the actual report doesn't. At which point the Twitter conversation stopped. Anyhow, the front page of the BBC website (as accessed here the UK), as of 7 o'clock this morning, does not prominently say he's a Democrat: Labels: BBC News website, DB, Jon Sopel Clockworkorange 2 February 2019 at 12:29 I read it and thought he was Republican! stewgreen 2 February 2019 at 23:26 Craig you missed a Sopel Tweet After DB said It doesn't say (the party) in the initial report and "If he was Republican the headline would say "Republican Governor.." Sopel replied "It should be..." Craig 3 February 2019 at 06:10 Cheers for pointing that out. I'd completely missed that thread. I've added it now. I can confirm that the current BBCNews homepage link title doesn't mention he's a Republican ..and there is a reason for that The BBC have created a brand new webstory ..and that doesn't mention that he's a Democrat .. so again the reader will assume he's a Republican The page/link is titled "Virginia Governor Ralph Northam refuses to quit over racism row" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47102614 Your screenshot is probably similar There the title is "US Governor says he is sorry fro 1984 racist picture" That is probably too a brand new page..now disappeared or retitled	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3428
__label__cc	0.700346	0.299654	nVoke Philanthropy & Outreach Coffee Break with Dr. Lindsay Schwarz Posted by Caitlin Vander Weele - 10.16.2018 We are thrilled to announce Inscopix Coffee Break! This new series features brief conversations with scientists about life in and outside of the lab. Our goal is to highlight the people behind the science across a wide range of positions-- from established professors to undergraduate researchers! We will also introduce you to our talented team members to showcase careers outside of academia. So take your coffee break with us and get to know your fellow brain explorers! For our first Coffee Break, we sat down with Dr. Lindsay Schwarz an Assistant Member at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Dr. Schwarz and her lab are exploring the neural circuits and neuromodulators responsible for arousal using state-of-the-art techniques. Read on to learn more about her exciting research, favorite science moments, and advice to early-career scientists. If you love what you read, the Schwarz Lab is hiring postdoctoral fellows! What does your lab study? I’m really interested in how a specific neural circuit is organized to have multiple functions. Our lab is focused on a brainstem area called the locus coeruleus (LC). The LC is made up of only a few thousand neurons (in the mouse), but these neurons connect to almost every part of the brain and LC neural circuits help control a wide range of behaviors related to arousal. For instance, how do LC neurons help us focus when we need to increase our attention, but initiate a fight-or-flight response if we’re in danger? We’re taking multiple approaches to study the LC, from a molecular level (using single cell sequencing) to a circuit level (using Inscopix miniaturized scopes and optogenetics to visualize/manipulate specific neurons in vivo). I love how much flexibility we have in the direction of our research, even when focusing on such a small neuron population. Sagittal mouse brain section where LC neurons were labeled with a fluorescent AAV, highlighting how extensively LC neurons innervate the rest of the brain. Can you describe your first “flashing lights” moment with Inscopix technology? I’ve actually had two moments. At the end of my postdoctoral fellowship, our lab had Inscopix miniaturized microscopes but hadn’t used them much. We viewed them with a lot of trepidation, but I wanted to learn before moving to start my own lab. I contacted Inscopix, and they set me up with Field Scientific Consultant Chris Tsang [link to FSC], who helped me go from zero experience to getting a recording in less than a month! But I think the best moment was when my postdoc got her first recording. Again, it was with the help of an Inscopix Field Consultant, Pat Stemkowski, who was visiting our lab. Nothing can beat when a trainee runs into your office because they can’t wait to show you their data. And while my first recording had been a handful of cells, she had hundreds! She totally nailed it. Pyramidal neuron activity recorded by Schwarz Lab postdoc Cameron Ogg using Inscopix tech. What is your favorite circuit neuroscience technique? I’m biased towards virus-based approaches to target neural circuits in vivo, as that’s where my experience has been. There’s a big push to define heterogeneity in neuron populations using advanced sequencing strategies, but to figure out the function of these newly defined cell types, we will need more specific tools that target neurons based on multiple features. Recently I’ve been excited to see many labs begin to diversify viral tools, either through the creation of new serotypes (retroAAV or AAVphp) or by harnessing intersectional strategies (i.e., tools that express vectors based on expression of multiple recombinases, like Cre and Flp). Where do you find inspiration? Sometimes I feel like my best ideas come if I’m not actively thinking about science 24/7. In fact, I rely on my brain to work through stuff subconsciously, whether it be how to organize a grant or troubleshooting something in the lab. So as much as possible, I try to leave work at work. When I leave lab, I enjoy other things- like going to concerts, trying new beers, and reading novels. Often the answer I was looking for will pop into my head when I’m not expecting it! Dr. Lindsay on a multi-day hike in Yosemite National Park. Do you have any hobbies? Yes! I spend much of my free time on the weekends sewing clothes for myself. It’s so satisfying to start with a piece of fabric, work through the pattern instructions step by step, and end up with the perfect article of clothing. The best compliment is when someone asks me where I bought something and it’s something that I’ve made! What advice do you have for early-career scientists? Seek out a support group of people that are at the same career stage. I was very lonely when I started my own lab. I missed the constant interaction with labmates that I was used to as a postdoctoral fellow and even though I joined a very friendly department, everyone is (understandably) really busy running their own labs. Meeting other new Principal Investigators (PIs) at conferences, finding an online community (New PI Slack), and even keeping in touch with others that were on the job market at the same time have all really helped during the tough transition that every new PI faces. I love thinking about this group that I’ve met 20 years down the road, commiserating together at some meeting about all of our ‘established PI’ problems. Members of the Schwarz Lab, L-R: Jesse Gammons, Hollie Sanders, Alex Hughes, Mailys Ayerdi, Cameron Ogg. What is the best piece of career advice you have ever been given? There was a point in my postdoctoral fellowship where I felt like I didn’t have what it takes to be a PI. I had just attended a conference that was pretty rough. I didn’t know anyone, I felt immense pressure and anxiety to ‘network’, and I thought my talk went poorly. I came away from that meeting with the feeling that I lacked some kind of innate confidence that everyone else had, and which was a requirement to be a successful PI. However, I stumbled upon the “How Does She Do It” section of the computational neuroscientist Dr. Adrienne Fairhall’s blog. There’s a lot of great advice from many scientists I look up to, but Dr. Marla Feller’s comments really resonated with me. She said, “Up until the moment I received tenure, I felt like my career was going to sputter away. I was always an advocate for everyone around me, but somehow couldn’t manage to internalize these positive feelings toward myself… Importantly, I never took myself out of the game — I figured I would just keep working until someone actually fired me. Luckily, no one ever did.” That’s become my mantra. I try to focus on showing up and doing things to the best of my ability, and not worry so much about things outside of my control, or if I’m doing things the same way that others do them. Of course, I’m frequently not successful, but it’s a work in progress :-) Thank you Dr. Lindsay Schwarz for spending your Coffee Break with us!

The traditional test for capacity is that laid down in Banks v Goodfellow (1870) LR 5 QB 549 ...

SLL v Priory Healthcare Limited [2019] UKUT 323 (AAC) — The patient challenged the tribunal's decision to grant a conditional, rather than absolute, discharge. (1) Ground 1: Failure properly to apply the two-stage process required by s73(1) and (2). The MHRT had decided (under s73(1)) that the s72(1)(b)(i) (appropriateness) test was not met, and had moved straight to s73(2) (absolute or conditional discharge) without considering s72(1)(b)(ii) (necessity) or s72(1)(b)(iia) (appropriate treatment). The UT decided that the statute permitted the tribunal to stop once it had decided that it was not satisfied of the first s72 test. However, s73(2) required the tribunal to make findings on substantially similar matters, albeit on a forward-looking basis, and to make a decision on the type of discharge on the basis of those findings. Without express findings (in particular in relation to potential medical treatment for any psychotic condition the patient may suffer from) and an explanation of how the relevant factors were weighed (including the two factors discussed below) it was not possible to be sure how the tribunal reached its decision. The UT gave guidance in paras 33-35 on the findings likely to be required when considering s73(2), and in para 47 on the appropriateness of treatment with no realistic prospect of therapeutic benefit. (2) Ground 2: Failure to give adequate reasons. The Appellant had presented credible expert evidence that risk could be managed by future Part 2 detention rather than the recall power, so it was incumbent on the Tribunal to explain why it was not persuaded by that evidence: instead, it had merely quoted another doctor's evidence (which stated that recall would be available but did not grapple with the Part 2 issue) and said that this evidence was "more apt". The Appellant had also argued that the setting of a psychiatric hospital was positively harmful, and the tribunal had failed to explain its rejection of this argument. Taken as a whole it was not adequately clear why the tribunal was not satisfied that it was inappropriate for the Appellant to continue to be liable to recall to hospital for further treatment.

__label__cc	0.667633	0.332367	by Julie Dodd on Jun 12, 2016 • 1:47 pm No Comments JEA Mentoring Purpose and Mission The Mentoring Program of the Journalism Education Association is threefold: Retention – Provide the support a new teacher adviser needs to remain in the position for multiple years Improve – Work with the teacher / adviser to improve their knowledge and skills Build – Build the journalism program at the mentee’s school through involvement in regular evaluation and scholastic journalism conferences and contests. The Mentoring Committee The Mentor Committee includes chair Patrick Johnson and members Linda Barrington, Peggy Gregory, Sheila Jones, Gary Lindsay, Mary Anne McCloud and Carmen Wendt. Others who have served on the Mentor Committee include Julie Dodd, Judy Robinson, Nick Ferentinos, Steve O’Donoghue, Candace Bowen, Norma Kneese and Bill Fletchner, The Journalism Education Association, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, can accept charitable giving to support the Mentoring Program. If you’d like to learn more about the program, contact Patrick Johnson — mentoring@jea.org Mentoring Program description The JEA Mentoring Program has been in operation since the fall of 2007. So far, we’ve trained 70 mentors, who have worked with more than 475 new journalism teachers. Linda Barrington (left) and Peggy Gregory edit materials at the JEA/NSPA convention in Anaheim that were distributed to the mentors. The Mentoring Program has helped teachers in 29 states and two foreign countries. Of the programs that have been involved in the Mentoring Program, about 35-40 percent of the schools are minority-majority or rural schools. (See the clickable state map to see the schools where the Mentoring Program has been in action.) By providing an ongoing support system to improve the retention rate of new journalism teachers, we hope that new advisers in this program will stay with their publications and build them into strong, effective programs that promote JEA’s goals of freedom of expression, responsible journalism, and support for diversity. Beginnings: At the JEA/NSPA convention in Denver in April 2007, representatives of scholastic press associations discussed their concerns about the high turnover of new advisers and the impending retirement of many outstanding journalism educators. “We realized that the retired advisers had the expertise, the more flexible time schedule and the love of journalism to help make the mentoring program work,” explained Julie Dodd, who served as co-chair of the committee for six years. So, a key part of the program is identifying and training retired journalism teachers to serve as mentors. Dodd was one of the five JEA members (Linda Barrington, Nick Ferentinos, Peggy Gregory and Steve O’Donoghue) who developed the proposal for the mentoring program, which was approved and funded by the Board at their July 2007 meeting. Mentor Committee members Mary Anne McCloud and Bill Flechtner at the Ask a Mentor Table at the JEA/NSPA convention in San Antonio. Mary Anne and Bill were members of the first cohort of trained mentors. Members of the JEA Mentoring Program along with then-executive director Linda Puntney attended the New Teacher Center Symposium to study one of the country’s most effective program in teacher induction. The JEA Mentoring Program is modeled on many best practices of the New Teacher Center. How the Mentoring Program Works: The funding provided by JEA enables the mentors to attend mentor training workshops at the JEA/NSPA national conventions. The mentors are asked to: . Participate in a training session held during the summer at the JEA Advisors Institute. . Use the mentoring process that they will learn during the training, which is modeled on the New Teacher Center’s mentoring program. . Make a two-year commitment to the program. JEA mentors and members of the Mentor Committee posed for a photo outside Buca di Beppo, where they had dinner following training at the JEA/NSPA convention in San Francisco. . Mentor at least two mentees the first year. By the second year, the mentor will take on more mentees. Many of the experienced mentors are working with four to six mentees. . Collect data and prepare reports to establish the effectiveness of the program. That information is shared with the JEA board and with other funders of the program. The JEA mentoring program is fortunate to have the financial support of Yellow Chair Foundation and more than 20 other funders. The mentors’ support comes from both scholastic and professional press associations to provide stipends for mentors, registration fees for state conferences, free memberships, scholarships for mentees to new adviser workshops, etc.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3451

To support the delivery of these projects, a recruitment campaign for 50 new jobs has recently commenced. A range of management, clinical and support roles have been advertised and include vacancies in areas such as acute hospital services, mental health, children’s services, community health and well-being and primary care and older people. Posts are based in a variety of locations throughout the border region and the EU INTERREG VA eligible area. The posts have been advertised in national media. Information and application forms can be directly accessed on the two national recruitment websites for the health and social care services in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland at https://www.hscrecruit.com/ and http://www.hse.ie/eng/staff/jobs/ Commenting on these new posts, Damien McCallion, HSE National Director & Director General of CAWT said, “Thanks to the EU INTERREG VA investment secured by the CAWT Partnership for these cross border projects, we are now in a position to recruit people for brand new positions. “So, if you want to be part of an exciting and innovative cross border project, check out the range of roles we have on offer via the recruitment websites of the health and social care services.” He added, “These EU funded projects will continue until 2021.

This is a free, online calculator program provided by the California Department of Child Support Services. FAQ? Frequently Asked Questions Is my spouse's income going to be counted for child support? The Court usually uses the parents' incomes only to calculate child support. But, the Court can ask about your spouse's income for tax or other purposes. How do I stop my employer from taking child support out of my paycheck when my child turns 18? You must file an Order To Show Cause to ask the Court to stop taking money out of your pay. If the Court approves, the Judge will sign a new wage withholding order for $0. You can take this to your employer. Do I still have to pay child support if I have 50/50 custody? If you make more money than the other parent, you may still have to pay some child support. Will the Court consider that I have other children to support? The Court can give you credit for other child support orders and for other children in your home that you support. The Court usually does not give credit for stepchildren, or grandchildren. Will I pay less child support if I have the child(ren) more often? The amount of time that the children are with you is a factor in calculating child support. How long do I have to pay child support? You will pay until the child is 18 years old, if he or she graduates from high school. If your 18-year-old child is still a full time high school student and still lives with a parent, you must pay child support until your child graduates or turns 19. Do I have to pay the interest on past due child support? Usually, the Court cannot reduce or cancel interest on past due child support. Talk to a lawyer. How do I stop them from taking half my paycheck? If your employer is deducting 50% or more of your check, you may have an arrears (past due child support) balance. First, contact the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) to see if you can make other arrangements. If that does not work, you can file court forms to ask a judge to set a payment that you can afford. How to raise or lower child support If you want to ask the Judge to change the child support (higher or lower), you have to file the correct court forms in your court case. It does not matter how old your case is. The law says you must show that circumstances have changed since the last order. To change the amount of support, you can: Contact the Family Law Facilitator/Family Court Clinic in Napa for help Talk to a lawyer - see information on local Bar Association attorney referrals and other legal help on the Family Resources page Ask the Department of Child Support Services to help you Do it yourself. You can buy a self-help book or legal forms and instructions that explain how to file an Order to Show Cause to change child support. You can get these forms on the Judicial Council's web site . Contact the Family Law Facilitator . If you and the other parent have an agreement , or think you can make an agreement on the amount of child support, they can help you write up your agreement. (They cannot help you write up an agreement if the Department of Child Support Services is collecting child support in your case.) How to reinstate ( get back) your driver's license (or other professional license) If you do not pay court-ordered child support, your license can be suspended. To get your license back, contact the Department of Child Support Services. If that doesn't work, ask the Judge to order the Department of Child Support Services to give you your license back. To do this, file a Notice of Motion for Judicial Review of License Denial ( Form FL-670 ). Filing this form does NOT change how much child support you must pay. To change your support order , file an Order to Show Cause. Here's how you file your Notice of Motion for Judicial Review of License Denial. Fill out the Notice of Motion for Judicial Review of License Denial form ( Form FL-670 ). Use the same case number and case title. You and the other parent will always be called Petitioner or Respondent as you were in the first papers filed. Make 2 copies of your form (1 for you, the other for the Department of Child Support Services). The original is for the Court file . Go to the Calendar window at the Clerk's office and ask for a date for your hearing. At the hearing, you will tell the Judge why you should get your license back. Take your forms to the Clerk's office and file them. You will have to pay to file the forms. The clerk will tell you how much or you can look at the court's fee schedule - look for "hearing fees (first response)" on the schedule . If you don't have enough money to pay the filing fee , ask the clerk for an Application for a fee waiver packet. Serve the papers Get ready for your hearing - On the date of your hearing, you will probably have to wait a long time. Sometimes, it takes more than half a day. DO NOT bring children. Reducing Support When Child Reaches 18 When a child reaches the age of majority (usually eighteen) or graduates high school, that normally is a basis for stopping child support for that child, unless the parent is obliged to help pay for that child’s college education. Whether payments stop at age eighteen or at graduation from high school depends on the law of the state. Many states say payments stop at the later of those two events (assuming the child will graduate high school in a normal amount of time). If only one child is the subject of a support order, the parent who is obliged to pay child support can stop making payments when the child reaches eighteen or graduates high school. The obligor does not have to go to court to seek permission to stop payments. If there is more than one child who is subject of a support order, the right of the obligor to reduce payments when the oldest child reaches the age of majority will depend on the wording of the court’s support order. If support is set at a certain amount per child (for example, “child support shall be $200 per month for each of the three children”), then the obligor may reduce payments by $200 as each of the three children reaches the age of majority. Under this example, child support would be $600 per month when all three children were under eighteen; $400 per month when the oldest child reached eighteen; $200 per month when the middle child reached eighteen; and no support when all three were over eighteen. If, on the other hand, child support for three children was set as a lump sum for all children (for example “child support for the three children shall be $600 per month”), then the obligor must keep paying $600 per month until the youngest of the three children turns eighteen, unless the obligor goes to court and obtains a reduction in child support. When the oldest child turns eighteen that can be a basis for a court to reduce support, but the court will not reduce support automatically. The court will look at a variety of factors, including the current income of the parents and the needs of the remaining children. If the income of the parents has remained the same and the needs of the remaining two minor children are the same, the obligor can expect that the amount of support for the remaining two children will decrease. The amount of reduction will not necessarily be one-third, however. Applying Illinois’ child support guidelines, for example, the obligor could expect that child support payments would be reduced from 32 percent of his or her net income to 28 percent of his or her net income. Tread Carefully When Seeking to Reduce Support When considering whether to go to court to seek a reduction in child support based on the oldest child reaching majority (or when seeking a reduction on some other basis), the obligor should consider how the guidelines apply to the obligor’s current income. If the obligor’s current income has risen significantly since the last order, a new child support order for two children may actually be more than the guideline amount for three children set at a time when the obligor’s income was lower. To elaborate on the examples just given, assume that at the time of divorce five years ago an obligor had a net income of $22,500 per year. If the obligor had three children, and Illinois guidelines applied, the obligor would pay 32 percent of his or her net income for child support, which is $7,200 per year or $600 per month. Assume further that the court’s order (or the parents’ settlement agreement) provided that “child support for the three children shall be $600 per month.” Five years later, the obligor’s income has doubled (to a net income of $45,000). If the obligor now wants to reduce child support because the oldest child has reached eighteen, he or she could be in for an unpleasant surprise. While it is true that a child’s emancipation (reaching the age of majority) is a basis for changing child support, the guidelines when applied to the obligor’s current income would actually result in an increase in child support. Applying the Illinois guidelines of 28 percent of net income for obligors with two children, support would now be at $12,600--an increase of $5,400 per year from the old support order even though there is one less child to support. Similar considerations apply to the parent to whom support is due. If the parent receiving support has had a significant increase in income from wages or elsewhere, that parent may not be able to obtain an increase in support even if the state’s guidelines or other legal principles would normally shift more of the support obligation to the parent receiving support. Sometimes it is best not to rush off to court, even though one may be tempted to.

__label__wiki	0.848702	0.848702	Security and rebuilding were the top news in Mosul again. Three IS elements made up of a handicapped man and two women attacked a checkpoint killing a policeman in the Zinjali neighborhood in the west. The man was killed and the two females arrested. The insurgents are still carrying out sporadic operations inside the city with a mix of hidden elements in tunnels and basements, and cells hiding out in the city. As people are moving back into the western half unexploded ordinance is proving an extreme danger. A family of eight was killed by an IED inside a house. Iraqi and foreign sources believe it could take over a year to remove most of these explosives. A parliamentarian accused commanders in the security forces (ISF) of taking bribes to allow militants to escape Mosul. A few similar stories have come out before. The ISF does have corruption problems so these reports could prove true. Baghdad continued to complicate the security in Ninewa. The 3rd Federal Police Division has been given control of Qayara to the southeast of Mosul and the 5th Division was deployed between the Fourth and Third Bridges along the Tigris in west Mosul. Security in Mosul and Ninewa is being done by a variety of units from the police to the army’s 16th Division to tribal Hashd units to the National Intelligence Agency. The Ninewa government wants the provincial police to hold the entire security file, but Baghdad has been dragging its feet on re-instating them. That has created the current hodgepodge of forces to do the job, which has been called “chaotic” by several officials and Hashd in the province because there is no coordination between them, and many are in competition with each other. Adding the Federal Police to the mix does not appear to be an improvement, but just adding to the current problem. The Ninewa Council made a new estimate on the effects of the fighting on Mosul. It believes that 85% of the infrastructure and government offices in West Mosul were damaged, versus 65-70% in the east. In the Old City, the figure went up to 90% as that district saw the most intense combat of the entire campaign. While east Mosul is being put back together the west still lags behind because of the extent of the destruction. As more studies are done the bill for rebuilding will continue to increase. Two conferences will be held to try to raise funds for the reconstruction of the liberated areas of Iraq. The first will happen in Washington, and the second in Kuwait. The U.S. meeting will have nearly 35 countries and the World Bank, and is supposed to happen soon. The Kuwait conference will occur at the start of next year and include the U.S., England, the European Union, Asian countries, and some Gulf States. Baghdad has a ten-year $100 billion reconstruction plan in the works. Prime Minister Haidar Abadi and an economic analyst however warned that Iraq may not be able to garner much money from these meetings. Iraq is suffering a budget deficit due to low oil prices, so without donations, grants and loans, it will not have funds for its projects, which means many parts of Mosul and other areas of Iraq might never be fully rebuilt anytime soon. Several Hashd units carried out a sweep in west Ninewa. They claimed they cleared 17 villages in the process. This might have been a preparatory operation for the coming attack on Tal Afar. Abadi has said the plans are ready, and the forces are only waiting for his order. Abadi claimed a deadline had been set for the return of displaced (IDPs) to Mosul, but no specifics were given on when that was. The Displacement Ministry announced that approximately 35,000 IDPs returned, but 49,502 fled in July. People were going back to both east and west Mosul. The figures have remained low so far, especially to west Mosul because of destroyed homes, the lack of services, and most importantly continued news of IS attacks. When people feel the city is safer there is likely to be a flood of IDPs heading home. AIN, “Abadi announces the start of bombing of Tal Afar and does not expect large grants at the Kuwait Conference [expanded],” 8/1/17 Baghdad Post, “35,000 displaced persons return home in Nineveh: Minister,” 8/1/17 - “Security commanders release ISIS inmates in return for money-MP,” 8/1/17 Elmanzalawy, Elwy, “IS physically-challenged member, two women kill policeman west of Mosul,” Iraqi News, 8/1/17 Al Ghad Press, “Crowd launches a massive military operation to clear area west of Mosul,” 8/1/17 - “Source: Federal police want to provide security in West Mosul,” 8/1/17 - “A source for Al Ghad Press: The Mosul security file has not been handed over to the police,” 8/1/17 Iraq News Network, “Ninewa Council: 85% of West Mosul destroyed,” 8/1/17 Al Maalomah, “Fifth Division in the Federal Police receives the security file in West Mosul,” 8/1/17 New Sabah, “Kuwait conference of donor countries seeks to raise 100 billion dollars for Iraq,” 8/1/17 Prickett, Ivor, “In Mosul, Revealing the Last ISIS Stronghold,” New York Times, 8/1/17 Al Rafidain, “Bodies are scattered throughout Mosul and nothing suggests life,” 8/1/17 Robson, Seth, “US troops aiding Iraqis before looming ISIS battle in Tal Afar,” Stars and Stripes, 8/1/17 Shafaaq News, “Two security unit gain the security file in West and south of Mosul,” 8/1/17 Sotaliraq, “Iraqi official: 60 countries promised to participate in reconstruction operations,” 8/1/17 Labels: Al Qaeda in Iraq, Insurgency, Mosul, Ninewa, Reconstruction, Refugees gj/bb said... The seemingly steadfast ongoing commitment from Kuwait to the reconstruction of Iraq is a feature worth commenting on. Does this hark back to the liberation of Kuwait from the Baath fascists in 1991? Joel Wing said... Kuwait's policy towards Iraq after 03 was mixed. First, it was the only Gulf State to welcome the invasion because it was afraid of Saddam. It also offered aid afterwards. At the same time, it's main concern was getting Iraq to pay reparations from the 90 invasion, which Iraq wanted to either end or lower. Kuwait also refused to open an embassy in Baghdad for years. The reparations and lack of embassy were big issues for Iraqis. Many Shiites also believe Kuwait like the rest of the Gulf States finance jihadists and the Islamic State. But why has Kuwait emerged in recent years as the champion of Iraq and its reconstruction? Particularly given Kuwait is a Sunni Arab state championing the majority Shiite led government of Iraq? As you say - the reparations and lack of embassy were big issues, but they are an old story now. What has changed and why? Don't know why the change. Perhaps the Abadi govt instead of Maliki. And Iraq still pays Kuwait reparations, and barely any Iraqis know what Kuwait is doing.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3473
__label__cc	0.610135	0.389865	Hanging off a helicopter. Amitabh's shirt reads: KISS ME. Thank God for the populist masala genre. Thank God for three-hour epics that span the entire range of human emotion, making notable pit stops on slapstick humor and heart-warming squish. Movies where everyone is reconciled, and things like child abuse, alcoholism, even blindness, are all resolved with a couple songs and a lot of heart. Leave your disbelief at the door, and forget about logical blunders (like pretending the London suburbs are Bombay!), this stuff is light and joyous and perfect. Suhaag is just so fun, it's like a circus as seen through the lens of Austin Powers. Directed by that master of masala, Manmohan Desai, the plot seems to be suffering from double-vision: two heros, two heroines, two villains. During the required prologue, we learn that (as usual) two twin boys have been illegitimately fathered by a drunken good-for-nothing named Vikram Singh (Amjad Khan, as usual). Enter the second villain, Jaggi, who steals one baby and delivers him to a limping liquor salesman. Yes, all very Dickensian. Both boys grow up in abject poverty, apparently just down the road from each other, and both are regularly beaten and force-fed alcohol. Runty brother Kishan has it a bit easier since at least he's got mom, while Amit has to tough it out alone on the streets. (Can you guess who grows up into who?) One of our favorite masala devices: the growing up montage song. Fast-forward fifteen years, where Kishan is now an upstanding and slightly anal police inspector who favors black leather and is played by Shashi Kapoor (as usual). Amit, meanwhile, is a hard-drinking, rowdy tough with a heart of gold, played by Amitabh Bachchan. The rest of the plot is incredibly complicated and not worth outlining. You just have to watch it. Suffice to say that director Desai manages to squeeze in everything and anything an audience member could possibly wish for: silly disguises - including Amitabh in full-on Punjabi bhangra style, and Shashi in a 70s pothead look which apparently includes really smoking pot - people hanging off of helicopters, those helicopters then exploding, drunken yelling from the top of a temple (reminiscent of Sholay!), Shashi getting blinded from a chandelier to the head, someone else getting their eye poked out in the bedroom, crazy role reversals, INFINITE IRONY (a requisite of all Hindi movies, it seems), self-references, Amjad Khan dressed as a religious mendicant, breaks in the fourth wall, and, of course, a brief but effective Alcoholics Anonymous course as sung by Rekha. Mix in seven songs, all of which are great, and you have a classic of masala goodness. Look at the upper left corner: it's Shabana! Oh, how we loved Suhaag. If it was a man we would marry it. If it was a dish in a restaurant we would order it all the time. Some people apparently don't "get" the masala genre. They demand linear narratives, foreseeable or at least logical plot developments, restraint. If that's your cup of tea, Suhaag will not be for you. It's more of a free-floating philosophy of aesthetitainment. It looks deep within you and guesses what you'd like to see next. With the PPCC, it knew we have a soft spot for religious devotion on the part of handsome men. So when Amitabh guides his runty little brother Shashi up the temple steps, even though there's no reason in the movie for such a scene and Shashi Kapoor is actually older than Amitabh (and probably healthy, not runty), we were so happy. We were also happy by the self-references: for example, when Parveen Babi does the whole I'm-too-drunk-you'd-better-take-me-to-YOUR-place song in front of a Shabana Azmi movie poster. But back to Amitabh and Shashi, they're really quite close in this film; so much so that it merits comment. Because, at least in the West, where do you see two grown men ruffle each other's hair, stroke each other's cheek, nuzzle each other? Of course the PPCC approves. Two thumbs up, you cuties! Amitabh teaches Shashi that being blind should not stop him from having a full life! Rekha teaches Amitabh that he doesn't need to be a slave to alcohol. (Requisite Film Analytics:) Then there are the interesting themes of blindness and vision, fathers and sons. It felt a bit epic at times, what with the labyrinthine irony, wherein for example the father intentionally blinds his son (not realizing it's his son) and then the newly-blinded son meets his father later (not realizing it's his father) and also not realizing it's his archnemesis crime boss because someone spilled tea on the Wanted ad earlier in the film. Or the other bit, when the sister doesn't know her sister is a high-class courtesan (who blinded one of the villains' son, incidentally) and the brother doesn't realize the courtesan sister is actually his girlfriend and that now they're all actually related twice over. Wait, what? Another favorite masala device: lipstick-stained Shashi wakes up the next morning and remembers nothing! Don't worry about it. That's our motto when watching these masala movies. Let go. It doesn't need to make sense. It need only be delightful. Manmohan Desai might have wanted to make references to Deewaar or Mother India or the Ramayana, but it seems like he just got too lazy or distracted to keep it going and decided that it'd be so much cooler to have Amitabh just start dancing with the callgirls. Which, of course, he does and it totally is. Dishoom, dishoom, baby! Our favorite song #1: wherein Amitabh dances with a bottle first and Rekha second. Our favorite song #2: Silliness and bhangra and London and apparently SRK's next movie takes the title from this song. Shashi's expressions are priceless! OK we love all the songs in this one.

Though I should admit I was about to say "Wait, what?" exactly when you did. Is it just a random happenstance of these clips and stills, or does Shashi look peculiarly aged here? Or is it because I've been rewatching Sharmeelee? Shashitabhangra: three great tastes that taste great together. Memsaab said... This is one of those films where I think "Have I seen this one? or am I thinking of a different Manmohan Desai-Amitabh-Shashi film?"... :-) Sanket Vyas said... This movie is sheer unadulterated madness & some of the most fun you can have in a Bollywood movie. Everyone does an amazing job in this and yes, the songs are all spectacular. Every time I go to an Indian store and ask for the soundtrack they inevitably pull out the Ajay Devgan/Akshay Kumar one :( So many favorite moments - Shashi donning one of the best pothead undercover outfits EVER to bust an opium club and takes home a completely wasted Parveen Babi. The aforementioned Amitabh scene when in the midst of breaking an illegal alcohol factory to pieces he takes a moment to dance with the callgirls working there. The bhangra song with all 4 actors. The little Amitabh in the bottle in the song that is on the post. One thing did puzzle me as a die-hard Kishore fan... this is one of the few 80's movies where Kishore doesn't provide playback for Amitabh, wonder why. And yes, ladies Shashi does rock & Amitabh does rule. But Parveen Babi is simply one of the most stunningly beautiful actresses to grace the Indian screen and Rekha's 'hooker with a heart of gold' has never looked better ;) Speaking of Shashi looking great, have you seen this? http://apnieastindiacompany.blogspot.com/2008/04/anari.html Beth - Ahh, poor, aging Shashi. He doesn't strike me as particularly old-looking in this one, but then again, I've never seen Sharmeelee. I love my late 70s Shashi, though I must say, I was noticing his jowls in the latest 70s masala vehicle that I've found (Sawaal, 78 perhaps? Shashi, Sanjeev Kumar, Randhir, Waheeda Rehman aaand Mac!). I think we should market Shashitabhangra. The DVD man was trying to impress Anari upon me, and he kept insisting it's a Raj Kapoor movie, not a Shashi one. Perhaps there's two? Anyway, I opted for Sawaal instead. Sanket - the Amitabh in a bottle!!! I love that scene. Anari is indeed a Raj Kapoor movie with Nutan - I believe it was directed by H. Mukherjee. Don't remember the film much (probably not as good as the B/W masterpieces with Nargis) but the songs were top shelf. NidaMarie said... Just saw this last night thanks to your recommendation! It really was a hoot--Like Sanket, my favorite parts were the drunken Parveen/Shashi song, all of Amitabh's dancing, the little Amitabh in a bottle, and of course, the amazing bromantic jodi between Shashi and Amitabh! I'll probably point this out in my review, but I thought Shashi and Amitabh shared a deeper chemistry here than in the classic (and better known) "Deewar". Just my opinion though. P.S. I'm developing the biggest girl crush on Parveen Babi! Delightful entertaining review to a dito movie. Inspired by one line up there i thought, Suhaag (1979) feels like zapping through a long string of 70s bollies, strictly only stopping at every highlight.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3476
__label__cc	0.599215	0.400785	For our project area, we chose an open water area that had previously been marsh, and was near the LSU study area so that we could use the benchmark and water level gage they had established. The source for fill material would be the adjacent dead-end canal that had been acting as a sediment trap and was less than 1/3 of its original depth. We went through the Louisiana Coastal Zone permitting process to permit a 16-acre area to use for our project. The surveys we conducted showed that the target pond depth averaged around a foot from substrate to marsh level, and calculations confirmed that the canal which acted as a sediment trap held enough material to fill it. Professor Irv Mendelssohn and his research group at the LSU Biogeochemistry Laboratory agreed to monitor and study the marsh restoration process and wanted 5 cells approximately the same size to use as replicates, so they chose the east end of the pond. We set up a test cell to practice and develop our dredging technique toward the west end of the pond so that it wouldn’t affect their site. Each of these cells was about a third of an acre. To prepare for pumping into the test cell or the study cells, we built a walkway that would hold the pipe off of the marsh surface and prevent the frequent foot traffic from damaging the marsh platform. This also made an excellent platform for documenting changes and observing results. On November 22, 2010, the dredge was moved to the test site. The 4-inch dredge hose was assembled from the dredge to shore, across the levee, down the walkway and into the test area. The test site was used for Audubon staff (Karen Westphal and Timmy Vincent) to self-train on the dredge and experiment with techniques of dispersing the sediment. We tried free-flow and through a spreader, without containment and then with containment. Without containment or with low water levels, the mud was too fluid to stack and flowed into the larger pond through self-created channels. The containment chosen for most applications was bundles of roseaucane (Phragites sp) laid in an overlapping fashion and tied between posts cut from tallow trees (Sapium sebiferum) or bamboo. In the Rainey area, any land elevated above marsh is covered by this tall cane, and the bundles are easy to make, carry, stack, transport and tie down, and it is a renewable and almost unlimited nearby resource. It is biodegradable, and a local and native organic addition to the marsh mud. And, it comes free of foreign seeds or chemicals. The tallow trees are also abundantly available along the nearby levees, and are considered an invasive. The cane containment worked wonderfully. It diffused the flow so there was no main channel and raised the water level slightly. It stopped wind agitation, which allowed the sediment to settle out faster and stopped material from being removed by wave action.At the end of the 11 hours of contained pumping, the cell appeared to be filled to within 2 inches of marsh level. In our test cell, the land manager transplanted some smooth cordgrass against the containment, to test the idea that they would root and spread by the time the cane degrades, to act as future containment while the marsh establishes itself. In June 2011, the dredge was moved down to the east end of the pond to start pumping into the LSU study cells. We used the same arrangement of placing the dredge hose along the boardwalk then to the furthest point we could reach to start pumping into Cell 5. Roseaucane bundles were placed to create containment around Cell 5 and the outer boundaries of Cell 4. A sturdier containment was needed for the long reach on the outer boundary of Cell 1, so Timmy and I constructed a plywood wall. We ripped plywood sheets into 2ft x 8ft lengths, then pushed them into the substrate so that there was about 6 inches above marsh level. These were pinned into place using 4ft 2x4s. Cell 5 was considered “filled” in November 2011, Cell 4 was filled in May 2012, and Cell 3 was filled in August 2013. The dredge worked along the canal, and the discharge hose was shortened in the pond and lengthened and moved along the canal to keep up. Containment was added or removed between cells as it became necessary. The picture below was taken in April 2012 from an ultralight floatplane. The view is to the northwest, with the outfall (small white square) in Cell 4. Google Earth imagery is available online for April 23: 29°41’57.85″N 92°12’36.93″W. View to the northwest of the dredge area on April 10, 2012. The same area was photographed in June 2015 (see below). Aerial view of the dredge site on June 25, 2015. A graphic map depicting the estimated status of the site was made periodically to document marsh restoration progress. In the Figure below, brown colors are fill above marsh level which is the target elevation, and pink/purple is fill below marsh level. This shows that we lost a good bit of material into the other cells through our leaky containment. The bright green color indicates new vegetation that has either spread by rhizomes from existing marsh stands or colonized by seed. Any substrate within -2 inches of marsh level was quickly accepted by the low marsh, and substrates above +3 inches are colonized by high marsh and wetland herbs. This diagram shows the status of the study site on June 2015. We were concerned that our pumping activities might adversely affect the diverse wildlife in the area, but they took advantage of the dredging operation instead. Within 30 minutes of shutting off the pump, birds gathered to feast on the minnows and crabs that are pushed into the ¼ inch of clear water above the settling mud. After a day, raccoon, bird and alligator tracks crisscross the new shallow areas. Even around the dredge, with all of the noise from the pump and machinery, the wildlife soon settles back into normal activities. We have alligators and pelicans that feed within 6 feet of us; crabs, shrimp, and juvenile fish are attracted to the bubbles from the pump or feed on the algae on submerged parts; birds build nests and feed babies along the adjacent shore; flocks of birds pass over; and migrating butterflies flit through the uprights. When the water is high, our dredge site may be the only mudflat in the marsh, and it gets crowded with shorebirds. Frequently, our mudflat is crowded with shorebirds. 3 Responses to Project #1 Info Paul Kemp says: When will we be able to download full reports rather than just summaries for more than just the last two months? Seems like we are only putting out a teaser with nowhere to go for more complete info. It is better than nothing, however, that’s for sure. Paul This is being addressed now. We should soon have a link set-up on the blog to download the pdf of each report as it was originally writtern. The older reports are all available as a downloadable pdf from various links within the site.

Personally, I just let my lawyers and accountants from that nice Panamanian firm handle all of the details and so far things just seem to be going great. I highly recommend them and if anyone wants their contact details I can supply them. The other great inevitability, of course, is death. Not all deaths are as widely known and widely mourned as Jonah Lomu quite simply because not all people affect emotionally as many people as someone of that stature. Some people pass with barely a ripple but some passings send shockwaves through a community. Thus it was with the death of Seigfried Kohl who passed this week after a 2 year battle with cancer. He lived up in Washington so is not technically a Pelican, but he is a man all Pelicans can admire and emulate. As a friend remarked to me (and I agreed) every other post on our Facebook feed was someone – often someone we didn’t know – commenting on Sig’s passing and sharing wonderful moments. Many Pelicans played against him in various playoffs and National 7s events and many more played with him as a member of the Bald Eagles. Sig was a giant on and off the field with “the body of Adonis and the face of a goofball”. Even after undergoing months of radiation treatment Sig lived life to the fullest, running marathons, playing touch and generally enjoying himself. He was an inspiration to everyone, including US Eagle and former St Mary’s star Kevin Swiryn who brought his “What Would Sig Do?” bracelet with him everywhere on tour and wrote “WWSD” on his wrist tape. You will be missed, Siggy. Times like this bring forth the words of Robert Herrick, Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. RIP Seigfried Kohl. You will be missed. I am awash in nostalgia as Pro Rugby announced that it was partnering with AOL to stream their matches. I now regret not trying out for the teams because I also was kind of a big thing in the 90s. The Smartest People In The Room It is no secret that there is an alarming and growing trend in America of anti-intellectualism, most often exhibited in politics but also in popular culture. I don’t plan to turn this section into a political rant or a series of shadenfreude inducing “gotcha” scenarios but I feel I must speak on the anti-intellectualism that has been creeping into our noble game recently. One can see this when some enterprising team or coach does something unexpected and people complain about “cheating” or “not in the spirit of the game”. The most egregious recent examples of this are the “no maul” lineout defense and the “no ruck” defense in open play. I participate in a number of online referee forums and you can’t go very long without someone posting a video and an argument ensuing about legality and once that is established the fallback of “it’s against the spirit of the game” rears its ugly head. Some of the responders who say this are highly successful and respected players, referees and coaches so it is impossible to assume that these comments are originating from lack of understanding. The hope I have is that people will learn that this is exactly the spirit of rugby and how the game should be played. It really comes down to people being upset that either they didn’t think of it first or that they don’t know how to deal with the unexpected. Rugby has always been about experimentation and thinking about how to gain an advantage. Remember the origin story of rugby? How William Webb Ellis defied expectations and picked up the ball and ran with it? That is what we are talking about here. Rugby is not only a grueling physical contest but also a mental contest. As many coaches have said, “the top three inches” are the most important part of a rugger’s body. The trend seems to be away from the guiding principle of “Everything which is not forbidden is allowed” to TH White’s totalitarian version of “Everything which is not forbidden is compulsory.” There is nothing in law that states that a team must join a ruck, only how to do it legally and what laws apply to a ruck. The last match I refereed I was saying “tackle only” far more than I said “ruck” because neither team was committing defenders. The advantage that the defense got was that there was no off side line so I didn’t bother looking for one. To a coach or a team that is playing to a pattern that expects a certain amount of space this can get very frustrating yet it isn’t illegal in the slightest. The same applies to the “no maul” defense at lineouts. This has evolved from the “sack” defense that my old club would often use because we were generally undersized in the forwards and wanted to avoid a maul. If the defense doesn’t want to form a maul you can’t force them to. The latest (and by far the most egregious) comment which inspired me to write this piece started innocently enough with a question of knock on, throw forward or nothing if a player throws the ball ahead and catches it himself. (Spoiler alert: it is a throw forward.) Eventually the discussion came around to intent (deliberate or not?) and some started agitating that ANY pass to oneself should be illegal because that is just not rugby even if, and this is the fun bit, the pass does not go forward. That is when I felt I had to make a stand. The main objections to these tactics is that they don’t “look like rugby”. What that comment tells me is that these tactics don’t look like what people expect and that annoys them. We used to celebrate teams like the Barbarians who would try silly things like a 13 man lineout and yet now there is far too much complaining about unusual tactics. Rugby as a game is constantly evolving, more so than any other sport I know and much of this is driven by individual innovation. To claim that is not in the spirit of the game is, in my opinion, completely against the spirit of the game. The Great Ebner Experiment On Hold With Nate Ebner added to the roster for the Hong Kong 7s everyone wanted to see what he could do. It is at this point the maxim that “the anticipation is half the fun” comes into play. Ebner logged 0 minutes in Hong Kong and was held as an emergency sub only. There, of course, is nothing to read into this as Mike Friday explained “He (Ebner) had had a very tough two-day tournament in the Hong King 10s, and it would have probably been too much physically for his body to cope with, after only being with us for three weeks, to ask him to go again.” That is a very valid point considering the stress an international 7s tournament can put on any athlete’s body, but it does go a bit towards validating my opinion that there is very little chance for Ebner to be ready in time to make the Olympic squad. From all accounts he did well in the 10s but that is a different kettle of ichyopods. His physicality and explosiveness are not to be denied, but can his rugby education keep pace? And can his physical stamina keep pace? Mike Friday and the rest of the US staff are very astute individuals and surely know all this. They also know that time is running out to test him in a pressure environment. I am not talking about pressure from fans, expectations or the gravity of the moment – the man has already proven he can handle that in the NFL. How he reacts under rugby pressure is the key. The game is so fast at the international level that you have to be thinking ahead. Any hesitation and you are lost. The skills have to be automatic and the reads immediate. This can only be tested at a World Series event and time is running out. Mike Friday is well aware of this as he said Ebner was included so that he could be “integrated into the 12 and around the squad; getting familiar with our routines and what actually goes on in the sheds as we prepare “. Time for the exams because Friday added “he will be good to go this week in Singapore.” Good luck to him. As you can tell from the above book review, Pelicus Scriptoris still keeps a keen eye on all things rugby, especially when it comes to Northern California Rugby. Sadly, he has decided to move on. On Friday April 29th all of Pelicanland will be celebrating Bruce Carter’s retirement and departure from the Bay area as Bruce will be migrating to Arizona. Make plans now to celebrate Bruce’s incredible career as an official, President of the Northern California Rugby Referees Society, and his most impactful legacy, teacher. Bruce’s impact on refereeing has been immense and we have all been fortunate to have been the recipient of his mentorship for so many years.

The Naming Of The Flock Hail Pelicus would like to salute two members of the flock who have been honored with their official Pelican Name. From now on John Lane shall be known as Pelicus Guinness Consumptus! From now on Neil MacDonald shall be known as Pelicus Caledonius! All Hail Pelicus Guinness Consumptus and Pelicus Caledonius! Ask A Pelican Yes, it’s time for this week’s installment of “Ask A Pelican”, the widely loved Q and A session with Hail Pelicus. This week’s question comes from Jaco Peyper, of Bloemfontein, South Africa who asks: “I have been following the careers of several Northern California referees because this society is an inspiration to all rugby referees around the world and, personally, I long for the chance to join. Since there is an abundance of top referees in Pelicanland it is often tough to get noticed but I feel some may have been overlooked. Have there been any promotions recently?” Thank you Mr Peyper for your question. We have also been following your career here at Hail Pelicus and feel you may one day be worthy of a Pelican appointment if you keep working hard. To answer your question, yes, there were three promotions announced at this month’s meeting: Jen Tetler has been promoted to C1. Robert Hammack has been promoted to C2 Andrew Kenny has been promoted to C3 Congratulations to these fine referees!

Sacramento Capitals 58 – Missoula Maggots 26 Referee: Carney, Mark Game was fairly evenly matched in the first half with the Capitals playing most of their B side players. Missoula had a couple of great tries from a very speedy winger who sliced through the Caps defense. In the second half, the Caps allowed some of their A side players to get a run, and the result was that Missoula was over matched in the backs and consistently lost possession at the breakdown, allowing the Caps to run away with the game in the second half. Berkeley 18 – Olympic Club 2 17 Referee: Byrnes, Bryant This was a boffo game played late afternoon on Maritime’s lovely field. The O Club starts D2 play offs next week; Berkeley had had a frustrating season and wanted to end on a high note. When the teams had met earlier in the season it was all O Club. But its roster had been raided to stock the higher level sides for play offs, so a lot of capable guys were playing together for the first or second time. The first half belonged to the O Club-14 to 5. They were organized and methodical. They supported their runners well and used their speedy outside center and wing to good effect. Berkeley had obviously consumed massive amounts of Wheaties at half, because it was a different side that came out (its four substitutions helped). Its several big boys in the scrum started to run with more pace and much authority. Its back line also picked up its game, especially its wily and slippery outside center-he had several whirling dervish runs. With about 10 minutes left, Berkeley made a penalty kick that put them up by one. From then until full time, it was a slug fest. The game ended with the O Club on the attack, but incurring an accidental off sides penalty. My compliments to both sides, their captains, and coaches. My thanks to the assistant ref who ran touch. California 136 – Texas 0 Referee: Lane, John A very wet day at Witter Field – ably assisted by Pete and Rob as the scoreline suggests we got in some sprint practice for 80 minutes. The weather conditions were reflected in a very high knock-on count which created much frustrated sighs and gasps from the Cal Bears coaching staff. The full roster was used through the game but the conditions won out no matter which players were on the field! With a dominant scrum lost possession was reversed quickly on almost every occasion. Nine tries and 5 conversions left the half time score at 55-0. Texas missed one medium range penalty kick to the right with their only scoring opportunity. With Texas tiring in the final 20 minutes 13 more tries were scored by Cal in the 2nd half with 7 conversions leaving the final score at 136-0. Texas had one long range penalty attempt which again missed to the right. A special note of thanks to Rob’s son for helping his heavily limping Dad from the field at full time!!! Pete Smith showed his resilience and superb fitness levels by taking to the field for the Cal 2 v Santa Clara. EDITOR’S NOTE: A nice run, I am sur e Pelicus Guinness Comsumptis, but you will need to put a bit more effort in to match my 176-0 scoreline a few years ago at the official reopening of Witter Field. Colusa 86 – Mendocino 5 Referee: Bertolone, Cary Drizzling a little bit, Colusa had about 35 suited up to 15 for Mendo. It actually was a pretty good game and Mendo can hold their heads up high, as they battled throughout. Mendo scored their try in the last minute of the game, to keep from getting a goose egg. Party afterwards was over the top with a fresh smoked hog, boat races, car bombs, cardboard car destruction derby, balloon blowing contest and a lot of singing, plus more and more! Too much fun! Great guys on both clubs. Danville 37 – Riordan 13 Referee: Wilson, Giles I was lucky enough to be assigned to what turned out to be the best game of the season for me so far, a playoff between Danville Oaks and Riordan (coincidentally the closest game to my home that I think I’ve ever had). Before hand it was good to see old friends on the coaching staffs (including Roy, Helu, Jon Straka, Tony Wells and Mike Caravelli) and then more in the stands (including Kevin Barth, Hwyl ap Rees, Mike Walker and others) – it’s great to see all these people involved with youth rugby at all it’s different levels. Both teams displayed some nerves but both had a game plan, a kicking game, discipline and an understanding of the laws of the game – a credit to both coaching teams and that many have come through a youth program. Riordan gave away some size but lacked nothing in heart, having a fly half who has time on the ball and nice timing of the pass, fairly small but willing to draw a bigger tackler in order to put a runner into a gap. Danville had several big carriers in the forwards but also the willingness and ability to pass the ball to space, running into gaps. Danville scored 4 first half tries (one converted) to two Riordan tries. Riordan struggled a bit at the scrum while the organization of Danville’s line outs needs some work. The second half started with the teams exchanging penalties and then Danville scored two more tries before losing two players to yellow cards in the last 10 minutes. An enjoyable and entertaining game, the future looks good if these players stay involved through college and beyond. Fresno 75 – San Jose 10 Referee: Devlin, Joe No report received Google 38 – Aptos 34 Referee: Simko, Paul There was a light rain all evening under the lights at GarField. Aptos got off to a quick start scoring a couple of tries, but Google cut the lead down just before half time. Aptos kept the lead and was up 34-21 with about 15 minutes left. After a yellow to the Aptos 8 man and a few later arrivals, Google mounted a comeback which included one converted and one unconverted try. Teams at equal strength for the last 5 minutes at 34-33, Google scored an unconverted try for the victory. Jesuit 26 – Granite Bay 24 Referee: Androvich, Joe Incredibly fast match with brilliant skills, fitness, and game knowledge from both teams. Too bad the spectators/parents were not as professional as the athletes on the field. Life West 46 – EPA Razorbacks 7 Referee: MacDonald, Neil AR: McDougall, Grant Freshly back from the beaches of Oahu the previous evening, I drove over 17, 880, and 680 watching a litany of aquaplaning drivers and no less than six different accidents on the way to Moraga for this last match of the NCRFU D1 regular season for Life West and EPA Razorbacks. With the match being the third on the same pitch in a day of steady downpour, I was expecting a mudbath at the field at St Mary’s, but in the event the field held up remarkably well, aside from one muddy patch in the middle. Life West played the first half with intensity, structure and purpose. Their clarity of intent every time they were in possession helped them rack up a 36-0 lead by the half. The second half of the match was a completely different affair. EPA scored first, disrupting a ruck deep in Life West’s half, and kicking the ball ahead, causing two defenders to race backwards trying to gather the ball. Both got hands on it, but neither controlled it, and the chasing EPA player grounded the ball to get his team a tangible reward for their industry and their contributions to this physical match. Life scored shortly afterwards from a backrow move, and the match slowed down as Life stopped playing percentage rugby, and conditions, replacements and substitutions took their toll on handling for both sides. In the 70th minute, with EPA pressuring Life’s defense a few meters out, Life’s rush defense broke up the attack, and took the ball back up the length of the field in the try of the game to settle the match 46-7. Thanks to both teams and their captains for a good match despite the conditions, to Grant McDougall for gamely staying on to AR after refereeing two full matches beforehand, and to the Life West team for their gracious hospitality. I understand that EPA play Santa Rosa next weekend in one semi-final, while Life West plays Sacramentio Lions in the other. It promises to be another great weekend of rugby in Pelicanland. Life West 2 29 – Baracus 27 Referee: McDougall, Grant What a great game to referee. Baracus game to play in wet and muddy conditions. They ran the ball efficiently and tackled superbly. Baracus was in contention for most of the game until the second half when Life kicked into a next gear, using a strong number 8 and halfback combination. Life found Baracus wanting close to their line in final minutes and scored a try to win the game. Life West Women 55 – SFGG Women 10 Women Rugby is always great to referee. This game was no different. The score line was not a reflection of the quality of rugby played. Life West Women’s dominated the first half leading to a 55-10 win. Golden Gate improved as the match went on with stalwart defence and shutting down the running game of Life West. Life regained their composure late in the second half and used the chip and kick to gain territory dominance in the game. Marin 7 – Napa 41 Referee: Richmond, Jeff I was told by a Napa representative before the match to “prepare for a track meet” but Marin wasn’t playing by the script. Sure, Napa has some speedy backs but Marin did a good job containing for at least for 40 minutes. The first 5 minutes of the match, I had the help of 30 or 40 assistant referees, since the lack of barriers along the sidelines allowed substitutes and spectators to crowd the touchline. After a brief pause to set up cones and blocking pads as a boundary, we resumed play under a much more civil atmosphere. Frequent errors by Napa left them frustrated and got them off their game. It was a close 12-0, Napa ahead at the half. Napa came out more organized in the second half and Marin was getting worn down. Napa was able to overload the backfield and work the outside or chipped the ball over the Marin backs and create an opportunity. Napa notched 5 tries in second half and Marin scored in the closing minutes, avoiding a shutout. UC Davis Women 44 – Washington St Women 0 Referee: Bretz, Paul Davis’ defense was too strong for Washington State Cougars. Defensively the Agies starved WSU for ball possession. This marks the second year in a row that WSU has lost to Davis in the playoffs. UN Reno Women 57 – Oregon Women 5 Referee: Franzoia, Tom UNR dominated Western Oregon in this rain soaked match with quick ball. Sacramento St 25 – Chico St 17 Referee: Tucker, Chris Fun contest between two competent, organized sides. I turned up at the pitch in time to watch Favor hare around the pitch for the last ten minutes of Davis thrashing UNR — they were a man and forty points down. Our game was considerably closer… The game started cagily enough, with both sides probing for weakness, but Chico getting the better of the exchanges, and Sac conceding tackle penalties as a result. After 12 minutes, pressure came good, and Chico scored the opening try. Sac State evened it up midway through the stanza after an error in midfield by Chico, but you got the impression that this was but an undulation in Chico’s path to victory. Indeed they dotted down again before the half, against a penalty to the hosts, and we ended up 12-8 to Chico at the half. Whatever Sac State’s captain said at the half, I have no idea., but his team came out ready to play and within 3 minutes had taken the lead on a converted try. Chico came back briefly into the lead, before again Sac State scored a third try to retake the lead. At this point, however the Chico centre made a critical error, deliberately taking out a chasing player off the ball on a kick and chase. He didn’t need to, but foul play is material regardless of its impact, and he left the field at what felt like the tipping point in the game. With a man advantage, Sac State scored again, and Chico were 8 points down and weren’t coming back. UC Davis 35 – UNR 3 Referee: Taueva, Favor UC Davis was very good around the field. Having a little bit of hard time the first 15minutes to put point for themselves but mange to play really good rugby team plan and it’s was rewarded for their skills. Good time for me and I know people were happy to witness good rugby . Manuia Redwood 21 – Napa 2 15 Referee: Hammack, Robert The match was played with intensity (mostly legal) from the opening whistle as both teams looked to end their season on a high note. Redwood scored early from on a breakaway try from a Napa knock-on. Napa responded with a try of their own with a well worked backline try. Napa seemed to control the game for most of the match but Redwood took advantage of another breakaway, length of the field try to gain the upper hand. Napa had an opportunity to win the match in the dying minutes as they had a penalty at the Redwood 5-meter line but an unlucky knock-on ended an otherwise well-contested match. Reno 27 – Modesto 33 Referee: Crenshaw, Jim The rain returned to northern California just in time for a drive to Reno Saturday. Pretty steady, but light rain all the way to Truckee, but then it let up and things were overcast but dry in Reno. I was early (no Snow on the road) so I saw the reason for the late (3pm) kickoff – youth soccer. They cleared out right around 3, so kickoff was postponed till around 3:30. Both teams only had 1 substitute and were pretty evenly matched. Reno chose to play against the wind in the first half, so Modesto kicked off. Reno didn’t waste any time, with a series of rucks leading to an unconverted try in the corner in the first 5 minutes of play. The match slowed down a bit for the next 10 minutes or so until Modesto took the lead with a converted try. There was a lot of long runs back a forth for the next 20 minutes or so, but neither team could finish. Reno finished up with a flurry with 2 back to back unconverted try’s near the end of the half, making it 15 -7 at halftime. Reno scored first about 8 minutes into the second half with a converted try to make it 22 – 7. The next 20 minutes were more of the back and forth play, but no scoring. The last 15 minutes were exciting, as Modesto scored 3 unanswered try’s, the first one unconverted, but the next 2 converted to take the lead 26 – 22, with about 5 minutes remaining. Reno came back with an unconverted try to regain the lead 27 – 26 with about 2 minutes left. Modesto made a long series of runs by the centers and standoff, finally scoring under the posts with no time remaining. A great match. Final score 33 – 27 Modesto! EDITOR’S NOTE: Pelicus Antiquum Barbarus , it’s good to have you back staring down naughty players and getting in the way of scrumhalf passes. Sacramento Blackhawks 10 – SFGG 38 Referee: Pescetti, David It was an incredibly close match for the first 60 minutes. In those 60 minutes there were 4 lead changes in slippery wet conditions. With the match being tied 10 – 10 3 minutes into the second half, when GG successfully kicked a penalty kick. After the 60th minute, the match opened up for GG and they were able to string together several series and seal their win. South Valley 21 – SiliconValley 17 Referee: Freitas, Larry This was a match I started but didn’t finish. Driving over State Highway 152 and the Santa Cruz Mountains from Watsonville over to Morgan Hill there were raindrops splattering on my windshield. I drove onward to Morgan Hill’s Community Park, arriving shortly after noon; the wobbly PVC goal posts were up, the field lined, and the showers ceased as the two teams, Silicon Valley and South Valley were warming up on the pitch under solidly cloudy skies. The first thing I noticed was that the field had been laid out between three softball infields, two on the south end, and one on the north end. I checked the grass and ran around the field a few times warming up, and my feet “found” a few gopher holes. Not good. Overall the rain hadn’t had much of an effect in making the conditions slick and muddy. The pitch was no more than 90 yards between goal lines, with 5 meter in goals both ends, though they could have been a bit deeper had the pitch been lined differently, and the shallow north end in-goal would have a bearing on the final score; and the pitch was somewhat narrow, maybe 65 yards wide, because on the south end on either touch line softball infields overlapped on the pitch about five meters or more, from about 10 meters out from the goal line to the dead ball line, and the same on the north end as part of the right-hand side of the pitch also was on that softball infield. South Valley told me a better field that they’ve used this season was unavailable because of…wait for it…soccer! At least the City of Morgan Hill has allowed South Valley to use Galvan and Paradise Parks as home venues this season, as they lost the use of Betabel RV Park south of Gilroy. This was a very competitive match, as the final score indicated. Silicon Valley would score first from a set scrum just inside South Valley’s 22, but would miss the conversion. Another try by the visitors, not converted, was scored at 22 minutes. Silicon Valley seemed to be in control this early, but South Valley would be awarded a penalty at 31 minutes, and Eric Cifuentes was successful from nearly half way out, which in this case would be about 45 meters. South Valley intercepted a pass and ran it back all the way for a try by Tom Sparling, converted by Eric Cifuentes. Another penalty was awarded to South Valley as time expired in the first half, giving them another three points with that kick. South Valley had a 13-10 lead. One note to make: during that half Silicon Valley could have scored another try, but the player who had the ball in hand seemed to touch down, running on his feet, some meters short of the goal line near the left touch line. I was close by and had a good view of the in-goal area, clearly lined and marked by the corner flags on the goal line and dead ball line. The ball carrier then ran into the in-goal with the ball and then crossed the dead ball line veering toward his right as though headed for the posts. I blew the whistle and called for a 22 meter drop out. There was a protest that the ball had been placed in-goal, but that is not what I saw. I checked with this player after the match and he did admit he was a bit confused as to whether he had placed the ball short of the goal line, mistaking the five meter dashed line for the goal line, and then decided to run further on. With very short in-goals, I’m not surprised this happens, especially with a player with not much experience, and I have to say with proper deep in-goals of at least of 10 meters or up to 20, this doesn’t happen, but even top club matches in England seem to be played on pitches with very short in-goals in this modern era of the game, seemingly with the intent to have as little or no 22 drop outs during a match. South Valley would add another try early in the second half, when Matt Almeida, their big inside center, crashed over after a scrum five was awarded to the home team. Pressure on Silicon Valley continued, and at 53 minutes they again were awarded a scrum at the five meter line. There is a slight downward incline toward the in-goal, and though in a few previous scrums at that north end of the pitch, both teams “set” perfectly and the forwards facing the downhill direction kept steady for the put in. Not this time, as South Valley barged forward beyond the center point, and I awarded a free kick, which Silicon Valley took advantage of by tapping and running out of their end, seeing not many to defend behind where the scrum was set. I set off to follow, and then two things happened: my right hamstring, which had been giving me problems earlier in the season, gave way, but not at the same spot on that muscle as before, and my right foot found a gopher hole, and my ankle got turned. I hobbled after play as best I could, and arrived downfield (good thing it was some twenty yards short overall) as a Silicon Valley player knocked on after a series of passes as they fled downfield toward South Valley’s goal line. I blew the whistle, and everyone on the pitch and touchlines knew I wasn’t right. I had to leave the pitch, and fortunately Norm Boccone, former Seahawk, was on-hand to come off Silicon Valley’s touchline and take my place for the remainder of the match. Silicon Valley would add another converted try, and South Valley would kick a penalty in the remaining 25 minutes, and South Valley got the win, 21-17. I viewed the rest of the match on the touchlines, with a bag of ice under my hamstring wrap. My ankle didn’t feel that bad, but several hours later it indeed was quite swollen, and I had the ice on it watching TV at home with a medicinal Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Silicon Valley’s captain and number 8, Paul Davis, and wing Omar Naguib were responsible for their team’s trys. Silicon Valley is going to move on to the Third Division playoffs now that the regular season is over. South Valley hosted a social after the match at the Box Seat sports bar, just down a block or two on the Old Highway 101, AKA Monterey Highway. St. Mary’s College 50 – Cal Poly SLO 11 Referee: Fenaroli, Steven The weather held out all afternoon but the field was damp and slow due to the rain. About half way through the first half, the rain started coming down. Cal Poly was low in numbers from the first two games. SMC scored two back to back tries before Cal Poly got on the board with two penalties 20m out from their goal, 26-6 at half. Cal Poly put up 5 more points before the end of the game, while SMC was able to put up 4 more tries and convert 2 of them. All in all some quality rugby with no extracurriculars going on outside of the game. 50-11 SMC. Cal Poly plays air force next in Colorado Springs, SMC has bye and will face winner of USAF/Cal Poly St. Mary’s College B 20 – Cal Poly SLO B 10 The weather conditions were not ideal for a fast paced game of rugby. There was a steady drizzle all day, was wet under foot, and the ball was slippery. The game started very fast with sustained possession and intensity from Cal Poly. Unfortunately, with the slippery ball, Cal Poly turned the ball over close to the SMC line. This was the story of the day really as both teams were fairly evenly matched, but neither could hold onto the ball long enough to really pull away on the scoreline. The match was a bit of back and forth until the second half where SMC showed their fitness and depth of roster and managed to hit back immediately with a full length individual effort from SMC #14 after the last Cal Poly score. Both sides missed all their conversions, which could have changed the outcome of the game when Cal Poly had two penalties right in front of the posts in the last 5 minutes but chose to run instead of kick. All in all, a very spirited match with unfortunate weather conditions. The forwards should be happy however as we had about 30 scrums…lol. St. Mary’s College C 36 – Cal Poly SLO C 16 Referee: Pohlman, John I had the pleasure of refereeing at St. Mary’s this Saturday. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo was in town. These two programs field three full sides, have outstanding coaches and are consistently ranked in the top 20 of college mens rugby. It rained on and off all day. But the field held up quite well. I started the action at 12:30 with the third side match. Great and fun game to referee. Pretty competitive. St. Mary’s scored try’s at 3, 10 and 17 minutes. SLO had a penalty kick at 6 minutes and a try at 20. First half St. Mary’s 15 SLO 8. The second half was basically the same with St. Mary’s scoring try’s at 14, 26, and 30 minutes, all converted this half. And SLO making a penalty kick at 12 minutes and a try at 23 minutes. St. Mary’s plays a fast pace both with ball and in defense. Their speed just seams to eventually overwhelm. The only draw back of the game was the combination of a soggy day and strong defense pressure forced allot of mistakes which led to allot of scrums. Fortunately both teams had qualified front row so no problems arose. If you have not been to the St. Mary’s rugby stadium you are missing one of the nicest pitches of bay area rugby. And thanks Andy my AR from San Luis Obispo. Final St. Mary’s 36 SLO 16 Vacaville 45 – Chico 19 Referee: Hinkin, James A wet drizzly day in Vacaville was the site for a D2 match featuring Chico and, as one would guess, Vacaville. Arriving at the field 20 minutes after the hour (why can’t people drive in the rain?) to see both teams warming up and the field all set to go all I needed to do was chat with the coaches, captains, a few select players and then loosen up the legs and off we go. The chatting took a little time as my old college teammate John Fox was there with Chico. It was great to see Fox Man after he survived a heart attack scare a couple of weeks ago and he was looking good. I told him if he even thought about putting his boots on and taking the field I would immediately stop the game, red card him and then harangue him for at least 15 minutes. So that was all settled. The game started sloppily as both teams struggled with the conditions. The grass was firm underfoot but thick which could make it slippery if grass started accumulating in your shoes. A constant, drizzly rain kept the ball nice and slick so we ended up with a series of scrums punctuated by occasional flashes of rugby. At one point the excellent #8 for Vacaville (Thor) tried to pick up off the back of the scrum but managed a little knock unseen by just about everyone else. When I blew the whistle there were cries of “what is it this time?”. All I did was point over at Thor who was busy swearing at himself. Ah, I see. Gotcha. That being said, once the Vacaville team had the ball in hand they knew what to do with it. Several breaks out of the backs saw long runs that Chico didn’t seem to have an answer for. Vacaville ran in 4 tries in the first half to make the score 26-0 at halftime. The second half was much more balanced as Chico got a fire lit under them and Vacaville started bringing on subs and relaxed a bit. The rain had basically stopped at this point which improved handling tremendously and Chico was able to mount a solid attack. A couple of unanswered tries brought the score to 26-12 before #8 Thor decided to take things into his own hands and bust over for his second try. The last 20 minutes was a fun, back and for affair as both sides competed well and ran in a try each with Thor completing his hat trick and earning himself a boot at the post match social. In all my years of rugby dating back to 1990, this is the first time I have ever attended a social in a coffee shop. There is usually a patio available but weather had forced us all indoors where the rugby players took over a back room. Beer was provided and good food as well so all was right in the world. The boat race was won by Vacaville to complete the day’s sweep. Good game. Good people. Good times. UC Davis Women 35 – Chico St Women 5 Ditto to my report from yesterday. Aggie’s defense starved Chico of ball possession. Long Beach St Women 22 – Western Oregon Women 10 Long Beach State brought a small but talented group of women and prevailed against Western Oregon 22 – 10. NorCal NSCRO 7’s Qualifier Referee: Boyer, Rich First Match: Menlo v. Santa Rosa. Mired in silly mistakes, match was over before it began as both teams really needed to shake off the cobwebs. Which they did to great extent in subsequent matches. 7-0 Menlo on captain Lenny’s converted try. Second Match: Sonoma St. v. Sierra. Sierra came out strong with two converted tries by captain Bobby. Second half Sonoma St. 15 put team on his back and scored three tries, one on an intercept. Final score 22-14. Third match: Menlo v. Sierra. Menlo began strong with a converted try, but could not keep up with Sierra, which ran off a string of 5 tries. Fourth match, semi final. Host UOP v. Sonoma St. Sonoma was in the game first half, but UOP made adjustments, tightened up the defense and capitalized on Sonoma mistakes. Only three points in it, 22-19 UOP. A very good Sunday spent doing 5 games of early season 7s. Thanks to Rich and Neil for the support. Sonoma-5, Pacific 17; Claremont-22, Menlo-0; Sonoma-7, Santa Rosa-24; Santa Rosa- 7, Claremont-26; Final saw Claremont over Pacific by a score of 31-12 Chico St 0 – UNR 0 Mostly one-way traffic on a morning game that had no great meaning. Both teams played hard, Chico was clearly the better on the day. Two great moments, neither resulting in a score: 1) Chico stand-off drops back for a drop goal. Which would be the first I’ve given this season. Pass is right there, which he promptly spoons forward. I pause for a moment, just to see if he’ll kick it anyway. He splits the uprights. Excellent kick! Scrum white. 2) UNR hooker gets the ball 15m out, and grubbers a kick through the defense. He’s got the pace to beat the Chico back line, but he’s overweighted his kick, and it goes just over the dead ball line. Would have been spectacular. As it is, Chico restarts quickly, we all hare down the far end, where UNR works it all the way back into Chico’s half, and knocks on. A UNR prop says “wish the backs would stop kicking it!”. Hooker smiles… UC Davis 40 – Sacramento St 29 Very good game over all. Sac State mange to have the first score of the game. UC Davis respond back with good ball handling and mange to give their team a score too. Couple non sense here and there but nothing major except UC Davis # 16 Cole Collins [hope I spell his name correct] starts bad mouth to the ref toward the last 15 minutes of the second half. So I warned him. Less then 5minutes later, I penalized him, joining the ruck from outside position and gain possession of the ball which will give Sac state a slow down toward the goal line. Cole first reaction is to swear to the ref without any respect. This behavior is not allow in the game of rugby. I red card him with confidence is the right decision. Like I say, the game was a awesome rugby time to watch and it’s was a joy for me to ref. Manuia This Week’s Photo UCSB and Chico legend John Fox (R) with Pelicus Pedem Referre (L).

__label__cc	0.594597	0.405403	The Phantom Tollbooth - Altan – The Poison Glen (Gleann Nimhe) Altan – The Poison Glen (Gleann Nimhe) Great bar room instrumental work from these chilled Celtic masters. Label: Compass Records Time: 13 tracks / 52 minutes Different Celtic bands have their own special take on the genre. Iona has a proggy and atmospheric style built on a huge dose of spiritual purpose; Solas’s stunning virtuosity makes breathtaking listening; The Chieftains delight in raw collaborations with the biggest names; while The Pogues blast their way through with sheer punk spirit. Altan, well… I have started to feel something of the ‘almost’ with Altan. The band’s name has brought excitement to mind since I first heard them back in the eighties, but their last release, a celebration of 25 years of recording, seemed muted and lacklustre. Very little of it was memorable after the player finished and the orchestra that made the release special seemed to suck energy out of the music, rather than add to it. Although it is stronger and has several high points, neither is this one quite the release that I was hoping for. Again it is a definite reaction to Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh’s vocal timbre. Her voice lacks appeal and I almost expect it to crack at various points – and with half of the vocals in Gaelic, there are fewer stories to get lost in for those who don’t know the language. But this may be purely a personal reaction. That aside, the modestly unassuming instrumental part of the disc brings to mind a relaxed group of Irish friends sitting in a bar with a guitar or bouzouki on their knees, fiddle and accordion trading leads. They could not achieve a more intimate purity to the sound on Poison Glen; the beautifully uncluttered mix catches every breath of air that a string moves. Half of this release is vocal-free. The Celtic sea-shanty edge to the fastest set of reels “The Wringing of my Shirt/Reel in A/ Ciaran Tourish’s Reel” (and another batch two tracks on) conjures images of dancers interweaving as the different instruments rise and fall in the background or take turns to lead. Dermot Byrne’s accordion takes plenty of initiative on this disc and adopts an almost synthesizer-like role throughout, soloing here and filling there. Several of the melodies are stronger than those on their 25th Anniversary Celebration [http://www.tollbooth.org/2010/reviews/altan.html], particularly “Cailin Deas Crúile na mBó,” accompanied by achingly plucked guitar; the lovely, Clannad-like air “An Ghealog;” and “The House on the Corner,” with its beautiful ensemble playing. The instrumental reel “The Wheels of the World” also stands out. Possibly the slowest track of all, it has a stately mood that would accompany a walking-pace dance. With percussion limited to occasional shaker fire, discreet bongos and some delicate hand chimes, Altan are chilled on this ideal winter evening mood-setter. Heading now for the 30-year mark, they are ageing with confident grace and sound sure of their art.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3485
__label__wiki	0.639637	0.639637	The big news going on isn't Watergate; it's the Eagleton fiasco, which at this point has George McGovern searching around for a new running mate. But the White House continues to manage the only thing that could still put them in any trouble. Oval Office. Everything is here: the hush money, the prepared perjury, the general obstruction of justice, and the whole den of thieves atmosphere of the thing. Haldeman: They scenario on that, they all seem pretty well agreed on now, is that the only danger is Magruder, who does have to go before the grand jury. But Dean has gone over and over it with him, and Jeb is going to stay with his story and stay with it solid, and they think there's no problem if he does, and he will. He will not be indicted, Magruder won't. They will come down with seven indictments, the five plus Liddy [and Hunt], and that's be about September 15 [...] [Haldeman reports on Dean's sessions with Magruder] Haldeman: Dean said, "The one thing I'm worried about with you [Magruder]. I know you'll do that; the thing I'm worried about with you is that after you do that, if you don't get indicted, that you'll start running around blabbing about how you pulled yourself out of that. And let me explain to you that there's a five-year statute of limitations on this case and that you're subject to being hauled in any time in the next five years, and you keep your goddamn mouth shut. Don't talk to your wife or your mother or your kids or anybody else. If you get out of this, just remember, you've got this cloud hanging over you for five years -- President Nixon: That's right. Haldeman: -- and you're not out until that's over.[...] President Nixon: He feels that they will not indict him? Haldeman: That's right. They have not made a case against Magruder. A lot of lines lead to him, but they don't tie... [H]e's going to impeach [CRP treasurer Hugh] Sloan. Sloan is the only one that leads validly to Magruder and Sloan's testimony...inevitably...leads to Magruder. But Magruder's going to say and honestly believes that Sloan pocketed some of the money. There's some discrepancy in how much money went where and Magruder's going to say he thinks Sloan pocketed it. President Nixon: You don't think he did it? Haldeman: No. But Magruder does, fortunately. And we're just going to leave it at that.[...] President Nixon ...Let's be fatalistic about the goddamn thing. Haldeman: If it blows, it blows. President Nixon: If it blows, it blows, and so on. I'm not that worried about it, to be really candid with you. Haldeman: It's worth a lot of work to try and keep it from blowing. President Nixon: Oh, my, yes. Haldeman. But if it blows it blows. President Nixon: After all, Mitchell's gone and...nobody at a higher level was involved, the White House not being involved, and all that stuff. And the Cuban crap in there. Are the Cubans going to plead not guilty? Haldeman: I don't know. But everybody's satisfied. They're all out of jail, they've all been taken care of. We've done a lot of discreet checking to be sure there's no discontent in the ranks, and there isn't any. President Nixon: They're all out on bail. Haldeman: Hunt's happy. President Nixon: At considerable cost, I guess? Haldeman: Yes. President Nixon: It's worth it. Haldeman: It's very expensive. It's a costly -- President Nixon: That's what the money is for. Haldeman: -- exercise, but that's better spend than -- President Nixon: Well, ...they have to be paid. That's all there is to that.[...] President Nixon: You say no cooperation from the Justice Department. I understand the FBI. Haldeman: It's been very hard. Peterson has been reasonably good within -- in fact, pretty I guess darn good. President Nixon: That is scary. Haldeman: The problem has been [Attorney General] Kleindienst has just totally washed his hands. Now, he's come back in. Ehrlichman hauled him in yesterday and said, "This has gotten ridiculous. Now you've got everything you need. Now for God's sake turn it off, bring your indictments." He seemed to see the light... And by the way, I didn't even include the part of the conversation in which Haldeman reported on the IRS audit of Larry O'Brien -- who was actually being considered for the vice-presidency just then. Posted by Jonathan Bernstein at 11:39 PM Labels: Watergate Jeff August 2, 2012 at 12:42 AM Something here definitely blows -- at least that part was true. Jonathan Bernstein August 2, 2012 at 12:59 AM It's a great one, isn't it? I really love the way they talk about Magruder, who after all is a protege of Haldeman. Not to mention Sloan, who was the rare honest man in all of this. Xenocrypt August 2, 2012 at 1:13 AM 1. I like how it was "scary" that the guy at Justice was "pretty good" 2. As I recall from "Nixonland"--didn't McGovern consider about every Irish-Catholic Democrat in the country one time or the other? longwalkdownlyndale August 2, 2012 at 1:47 PM He certainly asked a lot. Ted Kennedy said no, the head of the United Auto Workers was considered but rejected (he was a Catholic but hadn't been to Mass in 20 odd years or something) and I think they were going to ask the Mayor of Boston but asked Ted and he vetoed the idea. Too bad they didn't ask Biden! (He a county commissioner then I believe but beat an intrenched incumbent to win his Senate seat that year). Jonathan Bernstein August 2, 2012 at 1:50 PM Biden wasn't old enough! Stupid constitutional provision. Bajsa August 2, 2012 at 6:14 AM This was the day my eldest sister got married. It didn't last either... Matt Jarvis August 2, 2012 at 4:22 PM I'm far from a Watergate expert, but this conversation seems much more damning than the "smoking gun" one. I mean, this one has explicit admissions of suborning perjury and obstruction of justice. Well, certainly just as much, anyway.

They only subpoenaed conversations that they knew about, and only a handful of those, anyway. I'm pretty sure that this one remained secret until the mid-1990s.

__label__wiki	0.743698	0.743698	enquiry_sg@quantiqint.com English 简体中文 Bahasa Milestones & Awards Visibility & Compliance The domain of identity management is to achieve security through proper management of users and their corresponding rights. The first thing to be done in managing the users is to have visibility over the users (who) and the respective resources (what) that they have access to. This pool of users range from external customers, partners (external parties working closely with the organization) to internal users (employees of the organizations). Each type of user can then be split to normal users (non-administrative) and privileged users (administrative). Proper Identity Management should include at least the following: Privileged Identity and Access Management (PIAM) is usually the first control to be put in place to monitor and manage administrator activities. Access control rights and password management would be the outcome of implementing such solutions. At this stage, the organization should also evaluate a road map to scale up to identity and access management. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the core of identity management domain, and the crucial step to achieve automated user enrolment and a full identity lifecycle management. The process of automated on-boarding and off-boarding a user will ensure that when an employee leaves the organization, the person will no longer have the access that was once granted. Ability to uniquely identify each user will be key to enforce accountability onto users. Once a user is successfully authenticated, identity theft will be prevented and this ensures that the person will be accountable for tasks performed. Two-Factor Authentication has quickly become the de-facto standard. User Behavioural Analysis is the next critical solution that will be deployed in many large organizations to understand the ever-changing user behaviours. Knowing enough will empower customers on where and how to manage the users.

__label__cc	0.585837	0.414163	Orientalism and Re-Orientalism in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi Jiang Yuqin School of Humanities, Shenzhen University, No. 3688 Nanhai Road, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060 Keywords: Orientalism, Re-Orientalism, paratext, postcolonial narration Yann Martel expresses his Orientalism and describes Pi’s Re-Orientalism in Life of Pi. Martel’s Orientalism presents the typical postcolonial writing model, which constructs a postcolonial exotic. Pi’s Re-Orientalism reflects a diasporic Eastern boy’s desire and identity in the West. The survival story for Pi and the Bengal tiger is a metaphor for Pi to grow up to be a true western man. Martel uses paratexts such as the author’s note, author’s interview with the protagonist Pi, records for a Japanese investigation on the truth, and inserts into the protagonist Pi’s narration, which expose the hidden intention for latent cultural hegemony. The departure of Richard Parker represents Pi’s final conforming to Western culture.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3498
__label__wiki	0.714469	0.714469	Home > News > Thank you Sonia Samuels Thank you Sonia Samuels by North Shields Poly May 14, 2018 Less than a week after the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony, one of our young athletes groups had a visit from England representative Sonia Samuels. Sonia finished in 5th place in the women’s marathon in sweltering conditions on the Gold Coast and once back in the UK took a trip ‘home’ from her Loughbrough base to chat to some of our young athletes at the recent Spring Relays. She also made the generous gesture of donating her England kit, plus kit from her sponsor Brooks, to some of the club’s brightest young stars. Some of our young athletes enjoy themselves in their new kit The Commonwealth Gaes were not Sonia’s first major championships, she raced in the 10,000m at the Games in 2014 in Glasgow and has also competed in the World Championships at Moscow plus numerous European and World Cross Country Championships. She is also a former National Cross Country Champion. Her biggest achievement though surely must have been when she fulfilled a lifelong dream and competed at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Sonia achieving her dream at the Rio Olympics Although having lived in Loughbrough since she finished University more than 15 years ago, Sonia was born and bred in North Tyneside and always keeps an eye on the young talent in the region. She made the visit and met some of our young athletes after hearing how well the club was doing and wanted to offer advice and encouragement. This is not the first time Sonia has visited the club and has joined in sessions on more than one occasion, the most recent being just after Christmas last year when she experienced the famous Sainsburys loops when starting her Commonwealth Games training. Sonia (complete with Poly hat!) after some Sainsburys loops last Christmas It has to be said, Sonia could have done a number of things with her England Commonwealth Games kit. The most obvious being to keep it as a memento of her amazing achievement. She could have given it to any other local club, she could have even sold it on Ebay! She didn’t though, she made the effort to put something back into the sport at grassroots level, kindly gave the kit to our club and she must be commended on this. Sonia finishing 5th at the Commonwealth Games From a personal point of view, I can honestly say that this was one of the most selfless things I’ve ever seen from an athlete, never mind an International one! I’ve known Sonia for more than 25 years and despite all the success she has gained she has always remained humble and grounded and this incredibly act of generosity proves this. She is a local girl done good and who knows, her gesture may just inspire some of our own young athletes to follow her path. So on behalf of everyone (especially the girls who are currently in possession of brand new England kit!) I would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to Sonia and wish her all the best for the upcoming European Championships in Berlin in August.

__label__wiki	0.569057	0.569057	Nightmare (1942) Tim Whelan, Diana Barrymore, Brian Donlevy, Henry Daniell, Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery This is a splendid early wartime thriller, with the wonderful plot twist that a corpse with a knife in his back is found and disposed of, but then reappears the next day in the same place with another knife in his back. A Nazi spy code-named SI-10 turns out to be identical with the license plate of his Lagonda, in which a secret microphone/speaker is disguised as a dashboard cigarette lighter. This is the only film ever produced by Dwight Taylor, the well known screenwriter who also scripted this. The main appeal of this film however is the powerful presence of the intensely disturbed Diana Barrymore, who combines womanly charm and fascination with a violent streak so terrifying and uncontrollable that it has rarely been encountered so unequivocally on screen. So powerful is this unsettling violence in her nature, that her tragic life story and suicide all too amply confirm that it was not just acting. As an actress, she was a natural. What a pity that she was so self-destructively mixed up, since a major talent was lost to the screen. She could have been the greatest Barrymore of them all if she could have held herself together. Brian Donlevy does very well as the whimsical American who gets mixed up in this story because he has been ‘bombed-out’ in the London Blitz while dressed in his dinner jacket. There are no gag lines in this script. It is a dark and brooding work, made darker by the London Blackout of course. There are many highly tense moments, and this thriller really works.

__label__cc	0.638439	0.361561	“People Aren’t One Size Fits All;” Erica Woodahl Pioneers Precision Medicine in Montana Written on 31 October 2018 . In order for medical research to benefit us, we need to be included in the data that research is based on. This simple idea inspired the All of Us Research Program, the research initiative from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By gathering health data about one million or more people living in the United States, especially from those historically underrepresented in biomedical research, All of Us will usher in a new era of precision medicine. The goal is to help doctors choose the most effective treatments based on an individual’s background, genetics, and lifestyle. But what does precision medicine look like in real life? What does it look like for Montanans? Erica Woodahl is one of the first to venture into this new territory in our state. A pharmacogeneticist at the University of Montana’s Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, she radiates excitement when describing her pioneering work. Born in Montana, she left at 18 to pursue her studies and returned in 2007 to begin a unique research project: studying how the genetics of Native American tribal members might affect their responses to medications. “It was pretty ‘benchy’ lab work at that point but today it’s becoming more clinical,” she says, explaining how the data she has gathered over the past 11 years are now beginning to bear fruit. Members of the community she works with, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on the Flathead Reservation, will know more than ever before about their potential response to a variety of medicines, including life-saving cancer drugs. Their children and grandchildren will know even more. Woodahl took it slow when beginning to work with tribal people. Some members were skeptical about turning over their genetic data to researchers. She took their concerns seriously and spent time answering questions and building relationships with tribal leaders. Ultimately, the potential benefits of her research to future generations led to a “Yes.” Together, they formed a Community Advisory Board which began meeting in St. Ignatius, Montana to share dinner, discuss recruitment, develop informational materials, and set goals. With the Tribes’ cooperation, Woodahl began to gather blood samples from willing participants and analyze portions of their DNA. In 2010, she and her collaborators formed a center, the Northwest-Alaska Pharmacogenomics Research Network., and she published her first paper in 2013 about the research. “What really excites me is that we can take all of this data and look at a person as a whole. People aren’t one size fits all. We won’t all have the same result with a medicine. Some of us might get better, some might experience side effects. Precision medicine can tailor medicine to each of us based on age, genetics, diet, etc.,” says Woodahl. Cancer treatment is an area where precision medicine is making powerful strides. Oncology medication dosages have to be carefully managed so that enough of the drug is administered to kill the cancer—without killing the patient. “Some people suffer a dangerous drop in their white blood cell count while other people might have recurring cancers,” she explains. If good data is available from precision medicine studies, an oncologist may be able to determine the most ideal dose based on genetic factors. “We used to think cancer was just one disease. But breast cancer might be dozens of different cancers. Some new therapies are more specific to a single type of cancer, with fewer side effects and toxicity,” she explains. Mental health is a critical area for the emerging field of pharmacogenomics. Which medication is best for a given patient, and at which dose? “For some people, a low dose will be fine, for another a very high dose might be best. Titration and trial and error can take a really long time, especially in a rural state when you have to travel to visit a doctor each time,” says Woodahl. Precision medicine is rapidly becoming a reality. “It’s moved out of the lab,” says Woodahl. “Doctors are starting to make treatment decisions based on genetic information, but this is mostly in urban areas. How do we set up implementation studies in rural states?” When will precision medicine be routine care for everybody? This question was asked at a recent conference of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics where Woodahl listened in on the discussion. “It could be 10 years for people who are wealthy and urban. Maybe 30 for people outside those areas. That’s not what we want precision medicine to be,” she says. For this reason, Woodahl is excited about the All of Us Research Program, which aims to include underrepresented populations in Montana and across the U.S. People with disabilities are one group that needs to be studied more in-depth in order for treatment decisions to be most effective. She is optimistic that precision medicine will also help people with specific health issues find each other and categorize rare disorders. “You can break the isolation, meet someone like yourself,” she says. To learn more about enrolling in All of Us, visit JoinAllofUs.org. Your participation can help move people from underrepresented populations one step closer toward better medical outcomes tailored just for them.

__label__cc	0.721521	0.278479	I hope those of you that know me well get a good giggle out of this blog title, not least my hucking amazing friends Ash and Steve, who invited me to join them on their 9-week road trip through the South-West of the good ol' USA. It took me some time to organise myself, but eventually I asked them where they'd be during the second trimester mid-term break, and when the answer came back "Colorado", my response was an emphatic "SIGN ME UP". Things fell into place nicely, and the day after Kaitlyn's 12th birthday, I made the short trip from my parents' place in Strathmore to the airport, for the early flight to Sydney. Proof-reading the final draft of the Kennett Bros' new book in the Cycling Legends series: Muddy Olympians, was the perfect activity while waiting for my 15-hour flight to Dallas, where I connected with a relatively short flight to Denver. I was met off that third and final plane by Ash and Steve, and our friends from Wellington, Hamish and Mike. They'd just been to a baseball game, and we soon all crammed into a rather large Toyota 4x4, with four bikes on the rack, and my Evoc bike bag and a bit more luggage on the roof. We had a jolly good chinwag on the drive to Golden, punctuated by me pointing at various large automobiles or buildings out the window. My four companions had been in the US a while now, but humoured me nicely...! Our accommodation for the next couple of nights was the home of Austin and Betsy (friends of Mike's), and after a delicious feed of homemade burritos, we five kiwis slept out on their covered deck on our camping mats "marae style" - choosing the relatively cool conditions over the much warmer house, and also trying to limit our impact on A&B's regular routines... We were up fairly early, and headed into the Golden town centre for breakfast. Bike imagery was everywhere, a lot due to stage 6 of the recent USA Pro Cycling Challenge starting there, but mostly because bikes seem to be not only an accepted part of life in these parts, but celebrated... What a refreshing change, and one I'd be envious of all week. After copping a feed, we headed to a post office, and then in search of some Coors Light. Despite being within a mile or two of the brewery, at this time of day this was no easy task - but, it was a critical one, and eventually we found a supermarket who happened to have them on special as an added bonus. My instructions were "Ask for Nate when you get there and John suggested bringing a 12-pack of Coors Light beer if you want VIP treatment", and so, armed with a couple of boxes of (cheap!) 18 bottles each, we had high hopes. We knew we were in the right place when we saw various very large vehicles emblazoned with Turquoise, familiar logos, and of course "YETI" left, right and centre. Excitement building, we headed in the "other door" and were greeted by none other than Nate. He was a lovely dude, and I'm sure he'd have been happy to see us even without the beer, but I'm equally sure that it totally sealed the deal, just as Kashi had expected! Yeti Factory tour ON! The large open plan office doubled as an impressive wee museum, and it was cool to see some very familiar bikes up close and personal. From there we were shown down a couple of hallways, both sporting memorabilia of their own, and into the factory itself, and the new, in contrast to the old a few moments earlier. There was a massive rack of sold frames, awaiting packing and shipping, a huge pile of boxed frames awaiting assembly, and boxed of components and other things. We didn't get too close to one corner of the building, which I can only assume was where the "R&D" was going on. We watched a couple of wrenches in action for a while, and I noted the value of having a single seat post size across the range of bikes - each work stand had a short "seat post" mounted in it, and frames were put on that, rather than each frame needing a seat post of its own. Slick. In the end we scurried out - initial excitement was beginning to be replaced by serious bike lust, such was the stack of frames - none of which had our names on them. As we made our way past sold carbon SB-66s, SB-95s, Big Tops and everything in between, even a surprising number of old-faithful ARC 26" hardtail frames, I'm sure I heard a few sniffles and wet eyes. It must have been the dust... It was about 10am by this stage, and when we were asked if we wanted to join in on the daily "shop ride", we were unanimous. We drove back to Austin and Betsy's laughing at the revealed significance of Kashi's other gem: "Also, try to avoid 11am - 2pm." We were back by 11, and all slightly anxious that we were about to all get our legs torn off (and me that my lousy descending skills would be shown up to boot)! It turned out that the locals weren't too keen on getting out in the heat of the day, and so it just the five of us, and Nick, a recent recruit for the company, but one who'd been doing contract work with their XC development team for some time. Nick asked us what we were keen on, and in the end we opted for their "go-to" ride in the nearby Apex Park rather than a super-technical offering. It was awesome to have Nick's company, though he couldn't do much to help me cope with the heat and the thin air on the outskirts of "the mile-high city". Every time I'd nail a technical section of climb, my body would be reeling from the effort, and I'd struggle to ride the simplest bit of track for the next few minutes. Having a guide had other benefits though, and it was nice to know we were taking in some sweet singletrack with no chance of getting lost! Having a breather looking out towards Denver I felt like a bit of a dick a few minutes into the first bit of descending we did. I'd ridden uncharacteristically well through a particularly flowy bit of singletrack when I caught myself thinking "wow, this bike is handling awesome through here...". On reflection, if my ASR5C didn't handle well within a few miles of the place where it was designed, something was totally wrong! I blame the lack of oxygen. I also blamed the lack of oxygen when I got unhitched by Nick and Mike towards the top of the second climb. I wasn't hard on myself though, and I was glad just to be out on the bike after being cooped up on various planes for close on a day. We saw some Elk off in the distance while we waited for Ash, Steve and Hamish. When Hamish didn't show up, Steve went back in search of him with directions for a short cut from Nick. For Steve and Hamish's benefit, Nick, Mike, Ash and I agreed the next section of track totally blowed. Ash, me, Nick and Mike, fresh from some "lame" singletrack! We finished down Apex Gulch, which has the feature of being "One Way on Odd Days". I'd not put enough pressure in my front tyre, and I kept getting hooked up on some rather chunky rock features necessitating the odd spot of walking. Again, it was good to get out, and better to walk than break something! Between progress on the long, hot climb, and multiple punctures for Hamish,we'd punched quite a hole in Nick's working afternoon already, and so he shot back into the office once we got back. We headed back into town for lunch and were treated to some very cool cloud formations. After a well-deserved feed, we headed out on a mall mission. My only trophy was $7 pillow, while Steve got pretty close to buying a lego VW combi van set, and Mike didn't get at all close to buying the suit he was after. That evening we went to a very nice Nepalese restaurant, where Betsy impressed us by totally handling a very-very-very-hot curry without breaking a sweat. The next morning started sadly. While Ash, Steve and I were headed up into the hills, Mike and Hamish would remain in Golden until Monday, whereupon Mike would head back to Wellington and a new job, and Hamish would board a train for Seattle en route to British Columbia. No time for moping though, we were headed for the hills! The road out of Golden soon hooked into the 285 west, and we began our climb away from the mile high city. We started getting peckish, and Ash and Steve were both keen to get some coffee into me, lest I turn into some angry beast. Our first stop was made worthwhile by the photographic keepsake, but we high-tailed it out of there before sampling the coffee... Soon after that though we spotted a nice wee spot and pulled in. I got a coffee, and we chatted with the proprietor's mum for a bit, and we even were called on to give some interior design advice. I was already getting some sense of where Ash's bubbly nature comes from - the usual reserved Kiwi nature was nowhere to be seen, and everyone greeted us like we were long-lost friends. Back in the car, I continued to marvel at the landscape that surrounded us. I'm well used to New Zealand's emptiness, but our typical hint of civilisation tends to be either single buildings one their own, or a bunch of buildings packed into a small space. Here collections of buildings seemed incredibly spread out, and why not? There's space to burn. We drove out of a massive, empty basin, before hooking a left turn at Buena Vista, and heading south through to Poncha Springs. Ash had worked in this area as a raft guide in her youth, and we heard stories about that chapter of her life. After fueling up in Poncha Springs, we began the climb over Monarch Pass, and made our traverse of the Continental Divide at 11,312 feet above sea level. We descended in the knowledge that if we now fell into a river and drowned, we'd end up in the Pacific rather than Atlantic ocean. Also, we now knew that riding back up Monarch Pass to get the car when we tackled the Monarch Crest ride in a few days' time was an absolutely terrible idea. It was arduous enough in the car... Not long after descending into the next river valley, we arrived in Gunnison, the proud home of Western State College of Colorado. We parked up, and stumbled upon a wonderful wee sandwich joint, where, you guessed it, we were greeted like long-lost friends. We talked briefly to a couple of cycle tourists, who seemed to have lost all sense and had left an unattended handlebar bag open with an iphone sitting visibly inside. I guess it was nice to be in a place where you could get away with that. The guys had come from Crested Butte, and told us that they'd been picking up bottles from the roadside, jettisoned by the recent pro peloton through there. They told us to keep our eyes peeled! It was less than an hour's drive north to Crested Butte, and we made straight for Big Al's Bicycle Heaven, where we picked up a map of the area, and some advice about riding for the next few days. Finding a place to stay was much more difficult, but after an hour or so of ringing around, we had three beds in the Crested Butte International Lodge and Hostel. We parked up, and were immediately reminded how much the Coloradans love their Yetis. We had a short wait to check in, but got great intel when we did - it turned out the local chairlift had free twilight shuttles on a Friday evening! Sweet, but amusing that the bike shop hadn't mentioned it! We drove the short distance up to Mount Crested Butte (a ski-resort) and were soon getting the bikes off the car and suiting up. At 9375 feet asl, simple things like standing up too quickly were leaving me a little light headed. My notion of riding up and catching the chairlift down was rubbished by Ash, and the three of us were soon ready to rock and roll. We'd seen some gnarly track from the chairlift, and so we started on the relatively benign "Frequency". It took no time at all for me to notice the altitude and its negative effect on my body. My breathing didn't change noticably in response to the lack of oxygen. Instead my muscles and brain simply complained... We hooked into "Luge" and then "Avery", with Ash and Steve stopping to check on me from time to time. Luckily the jumps were all well marked by small flags at ground level, and I was able to safely roll all of them. Despite my foggy brain, I might have even remembered to drop my seat for some of it. I had no such trouble remembering my riding mantra... "AT LEAST ONE WHEEL ON THE GROUND..." and even managed a smile for the camera at the bottom of our run. We snuck in another two runs - the second identical to our first, and our third a complete run of "Avery". None of us were particularly game for "Psycho Rocks" though I'm sure my companions would have lapped it up (and it would have lapped me up). Steve and I rode back down to the Hostel while Ash drove. I was again reminded of the altitude on the way down, trying to sprint up a short rise behind a car. Hard efforts were having severe repercussions, but luckily light-headedness was the worst of it. We shot to the supermarket, where it was fun to check out some of the local delicacies. Still buzzing from the Yeti-factory visit teed up by Kashi, it was a surprise to see Kashi muesli bars on the shelf! The checkout held another surprise for me, and that was Ash authenticating her credit card purchase with her fingerprint... We had sausages and salad for dinner, and by virtue of being unable to get a single room for the three of us, didn't rush to bed. Eventually though it was time to part. Steve and I were sharing a 4-bunk room with Paul, who seemed very nice, but muttered to Steve on his way out the door "you don't mess around. When you go to bed, you just get straight in...!" We had a good chuckle at Paul once the door had closed! We were up at 7am, and quickly got organised to hit up the 401 Trail. The bike shop had endorsed Carl Patton's recommendation of it, but had suggested we do it early as they'd had thunderstorms up there the last few afternoons. We drove through Mt Crested Butte... Mt Crested Butte ... and were soon passing through Gothic - "site of The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, founded 1928". The road through Gothic, and most of Gothic A few minutes later we were parked up, and a few minutes after that we were Oscar Mike. It was an 8-mile ride up to Schofield Pass, during which we were all blown away by the scenery, the highlight of which was Emerald Lake. I was finding the riding fine, but any sharp effort, including those to get my camera ahead of Ash and Steve had me reeling. Ash, Steve, and Emerald Lake We met a couple of locals at Schofield Pass itself, and after a few photos, took off ahead of them onto the start of 401, aka Trailriders 401 Trail. The singletrack reminded me a lot of Frontal Lobotomy in Whakarewarewa, although this time I really did feel like I was in the middle of a frontal lobotomy. The track was mostly cruisy, but recovering from the regular short but steep pinches was tough work. I certainly had the bike for the job though, and didn't envy Steve with his 1x10 setup and a 36-tooth chainring up front, nor Ash with her relatively burly, but at least sensibly geared, SB-66. Despite being tough at times, the climb was soon done with us, and we found ourselves at the high-point of the trail, looking south-east back towards Gothic. It was truly breathtaking...! Ash, modelling the 401 trail, and some icebreaker gear Descending was an absolute joy, with the only challenge being concentrating sufficiently on the track rather than the views. Also, it took some effort not to stop for photos constantly. Steve blazed ahead, and somehow managed to ride through a water-course crossing which looked suspiciously like unbuilt, and certainly unrideable, track to my eyes. He later explained to me how he'd done it, but I still couldn't reconcile what he described to what I saw. I'd hate to line up in an XC race with that guy!!! About half way down, it started to lightly rain. Luckily, this coincided with a bit of tree cover. Our legs were starting to wane a bit, just in time for a shitty 4WD climb, which then hooked into and even worse bit of singletrack - it looked to be newly built, and climbing on the soft surface was much tougher than any of us would have liked. We ended up high above the carpark, which had had only a couple of cars in addition to ours when we'd left it a few hours earlier. It was a bit of a shame to lose all that elevation on a 4WD road, but luckily Steve noticed a bit of singletrack which spiced up the last few seconds of the ride. We made straight for town, and I made straight for a coffee shop! One macchiato later, I enjoyed strolling through the craft market with my cobbers. The delicious smell in the air was soon revealed to be "Kettle Corn" and conversation dried up significantly after we'd secured ourselves a big bag of it... Apparently there are franchise opportunities, and in my salty-sweet popcorn stupor, I might have agreed to go into business with Ash (and Kaitlyn)...! We passed the stall of the Crested Butte Mountain Bike Association, reportedly the "Oldest mountain bike club in the world!" It was good to see options for "Rockstar" or "Superstar" membership levels on their application form. After "pies" (of the pizza variety) for lunch - poor Steve looked a little crest-fallen when he saw his - we headed into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, tucked away in a back corner of the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum. It was pretty cool to look at some of the old gear, including a hideous Campagnolo MTB groupset, and a gorgeous Ritchey with some of the best looking welding I've ever seen. All that history had us itching to get out on our bikes again, and we headed back to the hostel to scope out our afternoon's ride. The bike shop had recommended "Dr's Park", but the ride write-up on our awesomely comprehensive Latitude40 map of the region described a 23-mile point-to-point ride which clearly wasn't going to be possible. We were scratching our heads as to how we'd so badly got the wrong end of the stick from the bike shop, when another guest at the hostel told us the standard Dr's Park ride was a loop taking in the final descent of what we'd been looking at on the map. Much more manageable, and consistent with our plan to squeeze it in as the second ride of the day. We had a bit of a drive south of Crested Butte, and foolishly stayed on the main road all the way through to Almont, before turning onto Rd 742 up towards Taylor Park Reservoir. At least we knew to take the unsealed, but considerably more direct, Jack's Cabin Cutoff on the way home - it would have been a pleasure to drive it even for the apostrophe... We parked up at the base of a natural rock-climbing wall, and were soon riding mostly north up Spring Creek Rd. The scenery, like the morning's, was awesome, but it was very different to what we'd seen earlier in the day. The valley was much narrower, and much more rocky that the road up to Schofield Pass had been. The base of a 1000-foot cliff... Probably not the best spot to park up. We made up about half our elevation gain on the gravel road. This included a couple of steep pitches, but was otherwise pretty benign, and very pretty. After a little over an hour, we were crossing Spring Creek itself, and ramping up our fight against gravity. Ash negotiating the last of the mellow climbing away from Spring Creek Rd We regrouped at the base of "the wall" the guy at the hostel had described. Steve said he was keen to walk with Ash for a bit, and so I struck out on my own for a while. We had a bit of a spell at a clearing on the ridge top, before discovering we weren't quite through with the climbing yet. Somehow it seems much worse when it's unexpected. Finally, we burst out of the trees onto the top of a large meadow, and promptly sat down for another breather. During this break, we were joined by a father and his son. The boy wasn't that old, and we all got a buzz from seeing them out together. Nice work Dad! The descent was an absolute stunner. The track itself was similar in design to 401, but rather than sidling out in the open, we were heading down a forested ridge. We had a couple of stops - one for Steve to repair his umpteenth puncture of his trip, and another to admire a deer just off the side of the track. The descent left us grinning ear to ear, but by the time we got back to the car, we were all pretty pooped and keen for dinner. In our haste to get away, we left our two combination locks on the ground, and so while Ash and I did the groceries, Steve shot back to get the locks. He returned to a hot dinner, but without the locks. Someone must have noticed them and picked them up, leaving us with an overnight dilemma. The bike shop was already closed, so we resorted to backing the car against the rear wall of the hostel. Luckily for us, neither the car nor the hostel moved overnight, and our precious steeds were all there in the morning, ready for another big day. After a good sleep, we made another relatively early start, and I sat in the car with a coffee and a muffin while Steve and Ash went in search of a second breakfast of their own. We wouldn't need a lock until after our ride, so decided not to wait for the bike shop to open, and busted out of town to the Reno-Flag-Bear-Deadman trailhead on Cement Creek Road. This was yet another recommendation from Carl Patton that had been endorsed by the LBS. We started off with what I thought was a great climb: mostly mellow, and a nice length. Ash's legs were pointing out to her the two rides she'd done yesterday, so Steve and I enjoyed a bloody good chat and left her to argue with them alone. Steve on Reno Divide Rd Reno was pretty busy, despite being so isolated, and when we were passed by a quad-bike not too far from the top, I couldn't resist firing my legs in chase, leaving Steve to regroup with Ash. I had a nice chat to the quad riders - a married couple probably in their 60s. He was a pilot, and had been to NZ once for an air show, and had also flown in a formation with 40 (?!?!) other planes. I was more impressed that he was out in the wops with his wife, but enjoyed his stories nonetheless! They moved off, and were soon replaced by Ryan, who'd only a week earlier had coffee with Carl, and knew him well. Such a small world...! We were 3 again soon, and after a quick map check, set off down Flag Creek Trail. As with nearly every descent I'd done on this trip, this one was the best yet. We had a few photo stops, and occasionally were passed by MTB or MX riders, the latter generally coming from the opposite direction. After a creek crossing at the bottom of the valley, the track pitched up again, and we were onto the Bear Creek Trail. This was mostly mellow, but had fairly regular sections which required intense concentration, and a hell of a lot of grunt. I usually found myself capable of neither, so quickly did the efforts tap out my oxygen delivery system. Fighting for traction on the steep and often uneven track was one demand too many. I chatted some more with Ryan and his mate while waiting for Ash and Steve to finish the climb at a more sensible pace. A short bit of 4WD road later, a picnic stop was in order. Bear continued off this ridge crossing, and we were treated to yet another glorious descent. There'd been some recent track realignment near the top, but other than that, the track was hard and flowed beautifully, and the scenery was marvellous. Scenic Steve All good things must come to an end, and before too long we were at the base of our final climb - Deadman Gulch Trail. Had we taken the left turn, down-valley, we'd have soon emerged on Spring Creek Rd, and the route our previous evening's ride. Our car was to the right though, with something like a 700-foot climb ahead of us. From sea-level that would have seemed like quite a hurdle, but we were starting this one just below 10,000 feet! A few groups passed us while we had a short snack, and when a couple of guys rode through just as we were set to leave, I heard from behind me "Go on John", and knew that I had license to roam! The climb was pretty steady, which suited me much better than the disruptive ascent of Bear. I ride with a pretty high cadence - something which seems to be the best way of letting my legs keep on top of the effort of lifting just shy of 90kg up a hill - and I merrily spun away. I spent a few minutes following the slower of the two riders just ahead, and eventually he pulled over to let me through. It wasn't long before I was on the wheel of his mate, and after a few minutes he too wanted me gone. It was nice to have a clear track, and the challenge of riding the rest of the hill at something close to race pace. It kicked up somewhat just below the summit, and I fluffed a simple bit of track and had to dab. That was momentarily frustrating, but I'd enjoyed the climb nonetheless. The dude I'd most recently passed was keen to talk when he arrived, and when he heard I lived at sea level, he urged me to "go home, and race your mates"! I was chuffed with the compliment. I chatted with him and his mate until Ash and Steve arrived, and then let them take point. The map notes said "check your brakes and begin descending 33 switchbacks over the next 2.0 miles to Cement Creek". At 15 I knew I'd lost count, but figured I was close. At 22, I knew had no idea actually how many corners had been, and gave up the pretense of keeping track! We had to cross Cement Creek about 100m from the car, and I pretty much fell in the creek doing so. I'd just passed my bike to Steve atop a log spanning the creek, but what I was standing on rolled as I spun around to grab Ash's bike, and I ended up sitting in the river! The short climb to the car was a neat technical challenge. After 4 attempts, I gave up and walked my bike to the top...! We headed back into town, grabbed a combination lock for the bikes, and after relenting and reading the instructions finally managed to get them locked up. The Sunday Farmers' Market was in full swing, and included a pretty funky oldies' band with a couple grooving away! I always love the post-ride sifting - somehow it's always nicer to be just a little bit rooted - and it was fun to see what gems down-town Crested Butte had to offer. This number-plate lined building opposite the icecream shop serving strange delights like sweetcorn ice cream. After cleaning up back at the hostel, we headed out for sushi at a restaurant which had the strangest restroom decor I've seen... Apparently the women's loo had a fox cavorting in snow. Go figure... We were drawn into a sweet shop across the road from the sushi joint, and Steve bought the biggest diameter cookie I've seen, while Ash had a toffee apple. I don't remember what I had, but do remember it was delicious! (A photo on Ash's Spoke Magazine blog confirms it was a chocolate-coated pretzel!) Public seating on the main street of Crested Butte! We soon retired to our hostel to find the lovely hostess had made peach crumble for us to share. Steve boosted to the supermarket for icecream, and I had a game of chess with a lovely 7 year old, who was on a wee MTB trip with his Mum! I went a bit too easy on him in the middle of the game, and very nearly got my arse kicked. Fun times! We'd originally planned a grueling 5am start for this morning - what would be needed to drive to Poncha Springs for the 8am shuttle up to Monarch Pass. The charm of that particular plan was that Steve could drop Ash and I at the summit on the way through, and we'd save $40 bucks on shuttle fees. The down-side? The 5am start. OK in principle, but after some great riding in the previous days, a cruisy start and a day off seemed like a much better option. It also meant we'd spend the next two nights in Salida before driving back to Denver for my mid-afternoon flight. Easy peasy! Someone in Crested Butte had a bit of a thing for chrome sculptures, and it would've been rude not to stop for one last look at the impressive knight fighting the equally impressive dragon. We were soon back in Gunnison, and ready for breakfast. I defeated the purpose of a drive-through ATM somewhat by jumping out of the car. The pipe on the right of the photo is a vacuum hose for deposits, apparently! I was keen on a fair-dinkum American breakfast, but the diner we chose had a waiting list. Begrudgingly we added our names to the list, but our growing hunger had us doubting our decision until the moment we were called in and seated. I was dead-set on a stack of pancakes, but kind of felt I should order "biscuits and gravy" just to see what they were. Ash took pity on me, and ordered a biscuit to go with her blueberry pancake. It looked very much like a scone, but had a texture closer to that of a sponge cake. I ate my pancakes and they were all I'd hoped they'd be. We enjoyed the afternoon sifting around Salida. We visited three bike shops, and it was a bit of a no-brainer that Ash would leave her Yeti with the shop that had a female mechanic. We'd booked a family room at The Simple Lodge and Hostel of Salida, run by Jon and his heavily pregnant wife Julia. They seemed very lovely, and better yet, Jon would be happy to drop us up at Monarch Pass the following morning, for half the price of the shuttle we'd originally intended to take. Once he realised he'd be driving our vehicle, the price became cheaper again. The afternoon was a hot one, and it was nice just to chill out and enjoy a bit off time off the bikes. We had a couple of good meals at a bar, the latter overlooking the river. It seemed quite upmarket, but that didn't stop them from putting a great big Yeti sticker on the cash-register! Yeti was here... Jon met us at 7am for our drive up to Monarch Pass. We were joined in the car by Chris, a fellow guest of the hostel. He was tramping the Colorado Trail, a 486 mile route from near Denver to Durango, wearing a pair of toe shoes! It was cold at the pass, but we were setting off in stunning conditions. Unlike the previous riding we'd done, the map we had of the day's route was pretty hopeless, and we'd not paid enough attention to landmarks on it, and promptly missed the first singletrack section. Having climbed past it, we stayed on the 4WD road, and followed our noses before picking up the trail again after a short descent. We felt like we were on top of the world... ... and it ... ... was very hard ... ... not to stop ... ... all the time ... ... for photos. What a treat! Eventually the ride started being more down than up, and we came across Mike from Orange County. He had the classic Californian accent (dude!), and it was fun chatting to him for a while. He'd just decided to head for the hills, and seemed to be having a great time despite his heavy load. We told him to check out freeload.co.nz before his next mission. It wasn't long after blasting off ahead of Mike that we reached Marshall Pass. Our map was pretty ambiguous about where to go, and there didn't seem to be much in the way of signage, despite plenty of opportunity for it. In the end we headed off in the right direction, but down a 4WD track which soon came to an intersection with neither track ahead showing much sign of MTB use. Mike had followed us, and his very good map of the area didn't help much. In the end we pushed up the steeper of the two tracks, and came to a very well used 4WD road. I went right, and soon came to an intersection with the route we should have been on. I raced back towards Ash and Steve, and when I saw just them, figured Mike must've gone left. Knowing that left wasn't the correct way, I continued at speed, leaving Ash and Steve wondering what the hell I was up to. I soon hit an intersection, and doubled back only to learn that Mike hadn't followed us up the hill at all, and certainly hadn't gone left. In fact, he had gone back to Marshall Pass to try again! We had a bit of a climb, but the singletrack we were on was a joy to ride, and my nice light and sensibly geared bike was lapping it up. I was getting used to the fine balancing act of keeping one's oxygen intake at a sufficient level for the effort expended. We were soon back into gravity assisted riding ... ... and before long were resting at an intersection. We were pretty sure we needed to make a left down the ridge at this point, and only belatedly noticed the small arrow in the bottom-left corner of the sign confirming this. Despite everyone we spoke to recommending this Rainbow Trail route back to Poncha Springs, the ride write-up we had didn't describe this descent, so we were unsure of what was ahead. The day was marching on too, and legs were becoming weary - some more than others. The descent into the Rainbow was a rip snorter, and Ranger Steve had his first puncture in a while. The singletrack eventually spat us out on a 4WD road. We'd been warned not to take the singletrack after the 285, but decided we'd ride the section between us and the highway. A waymarker told us we were 8 miles from the highway, and it was hard to reconcile this with our map, and it certainly wasn't the news we wanted. At least we were going down-valley...! The 8 miles was tough. On average we were descending, but the local variation around that trend was beginning to wear a bit thin. I'd been riding a sympathy gear all day - Steve had a granny ratio of 1:1, and I'd been careful not to go beyond this - but I killed my experiment in the name of enjoying the final bit of riding! Despite being hard work, the track was still a lot of fun, and the views were sometimes worth all the climbing we were doing! When it wasn't a grovel, we were having a blast! The last 3 miles were mostly downhill, and ended with a steep but fast descent down to the highway. I made a joke about jumping on the singletrack section across the road, but it fell flat. It neither elicited a laugh, nor an objection! Perhaps to less tired ears it would have been more successful. I was the only one who had sensible gearing for the entirely downhill run on the 285, but even without pedalling, my mass - and perhaps a lighter wheel and tyre combo - had me rolling away from Ash and Steve. In the end, I gave up my fight against gravity, and enjoyed a bit of a smash back to Poncha Springs. We took a back road into Salida, also all downhill, but alas the brewery on it was not open and we got back to the hostel without our thirsts being quenched. After a wash up, we headed into town for a bit more touristing. Steve was also pretty keen for a haircut. We heard from Jon that there's a bit of a feud going on among the town's barbers. Just down the road from a place advertising "$10 haircuts" was this one, with a sign in the window reading "Fixes $10 haircuts, $15". Steve decided he'd pass, and instead we hit up the icecream shop and enjoyed the warmth of the afternoon. We headed back to the hostel, and I got to cleaning my bike. It hadn't skipped a beat the whole trip - in fact, far from it, it had been absolutely awesome - but it now needed a top-notch clean so that it wouldn't spend the rest of its days in a MAF lockup. It took me ages, but the brushes I'd brought from home were mostly perfect, and the afternoon was warm so it was actually quite a pleasant task. It had been fun to ride my now gleaming Yeti ASR-5C in its own backyard, and it really had been perfectly suited to the riding we did (and me). I don't know what the Yeti:Other ratio is like in Colorado, but I don't think we saw a single group of riders without at least one in the bunch! By the time we were ready for dinner, my bike was safely stowed in my Evoc bag, and so I rode Ash's SB-66 while Steve dubbed Ash on his handlebars, slowly, 'cos there's always wind on the road. Dropper seat posts and jandals are a match made in heaven, and the absence of a helmet requirement was also appreciated. We soon found ourselves at Fiesta Mexicana on route 50, which Jon or Julia had recommended, and not long after we were seated, Steve and I were getting stuck into the bucket of Coronas. The decor was fantastic, and the mexican waiter was a very enthusiastic fellow. He spoke mostly in Mexican, which was fun, though not nearly as much fun as my delicious meal. At first glance it looked like a quantity I'd struggle with, but my stomach had been softened up by the beer, and no doubt the six hour ride earlier in the day. We were in no rush to leave, but when we eventually got back outside, it was still light and warm, a far cry from the conditions I'd left in Wellington, and would soon be reunited with. We rode back to the hostel, and then sat down for a game or four of Sequence, a board game we'd been enjoying through the week. There were a couple of new guests at the hostel, and one in particular was keen to join us, though we politely declined, and he seemed to lose interest (or get the hint, whichever). Our room was accessed via the dorm room, and once we'd turned in, things got kind of heated in the dorm next door. One guy had a portable fan rigged up on his windowsill, dragging the now relatively cool air from outside in. It was making a racket, but Steve and I had both successfully slept through a similar din in our room in Crested Butte a few nights earlier. After a couple of requests to turn the fan off were ignored, the two extreme positions were loudly declared: "I CAN'T SLEEP WITH THAT FUCKING FAN ON", immediately followed by "WELL, I CAN'T SLEEP WITH THE FUCKING FAN OFF". I honestly thought the next sounds we heard were going to be those of a fan being wrapped around someone's head, but luckily the situation was diffused by the plaintiff heading downstairs to the common room couch... Steve had been asked by the fan-on (and game-interrupter) guy for a lift to the bus-stop in the morning, but luckily he was gone in the morning, and there was no further awkwardness. The end of my short intrusion on Ash and Steve's 9-week road trip had just about come to an end. Despite being only one week, it had panned out to be an awesome length, and the final ride we'd done had been the first that was not the best. Mostly that came down to the stress of keeping to the route with the sketchy map we'd had, and dealing with the growing levels of fatigue in our legs. By heading to Salida from Crested Butte, we'd pretty much cut the drive back to Denver in half, and we were comfortably back in the big smoke by around midday. En route to the airport we stopped in at REI - a massive outdoor equipment retailer whose flagship store was in Denver. I had high hopes, but couldn't quite convince myself I needed a new thermarest, and their range of bivvy-bags was unimpressive. I almost got a solar charger, before stumbling on a SteriPen water-bug-nuker. Marcel had had one of these on Day 3 of last year's Tāwhio and it had been very handy indeed, and with that, my sole purchase of the trip was made! It was a short drive from REI to the airport, and without much fuss I was checked in and sent through security by my dear friends. Thanks to the Qantas Club membership, my trip home was pretty comfortable. I got great seats, enjoyed the airport lounges, and even got to wave to my bike as it was driven past our bus on the tarmac in LA. waves In hindsight, I should have got out of the airport for a couple of hours in LA, but would've, should've, could've. By the time I'd left Sydney, my airport and very large plane fetish had been well and truly indulged, and I was all movied out. A bustling Qantas-section at Sydney Airport It was wonderful to be met in Wellington by Oli, who'd borrowed my car for the week and had given my Colnago a beautiful "stem to stern" working over in my absence. It's been very nice to reflect on what was probably my best ever holiday. I've had some amazing trips, but not many where I've actually let myself relax to the extent that I did in Colorado. It truly was a holiday in the broadest sense of the word. It was fascinating to feel my body adjusting to the challenges of cycling in rarified air. A week certainly wasn't long enough to fully acclimate, but it was definitely enough to come back to sea level and have at least one ride like an absolute machine! I've never rocketed up steep hills on my Colnago like I did on the Tuesday after arriving home, and I don't expect to again any time soon! My lungs were parked as the weak link in my system, and I tapped my legs out like never before - I was pushing 39x25 up the likes of Old Porirua Road and Hawkins Hill like a boss, and I could barely ride at any intensity even by Friday. It was also nice to build on the charge I've been feeling in the last month. Riding and writing are two passions I have that go hand in hand - when things are right. The months between the Cape Epic and this blog have been long, and have preyed on my mind, and it was nice to finally have something I wanted to crow about. The trip was a great success, thanks in no small part to a bunch of people. Ed and Jo held the fort back home. Hamish and Mike, and Austin and Betsy got the trip off to a great start. And Ash and Steve kept the momentum up and up and up. They were truly amazing from the moment they invited me to crash their party, and I'll be eternally grateful! Special thanks to some others though. Thanks to Kashi for getting in touch with the crew at Yeti Cycles in Golden on our behalf. The factory tour was a wonderful way to start the week and a thrill for us all. Thanks too to Nate for hosting us at the factory, and Nick for taking us out riding, and to all the others whose working day we might have temporarily suspended. We hope those beers slipped down nicely, and look forward to seeing you down under some time. Thanks to Carl Patton - a Wellingtonian who operates annual Singletrack Tours for Kiwis in Colorado and happily sat down with me over coffee to give me the skinny on how to cram some great riding into only a week. His recommendations were absolutely spot on, and I can only imagine how amazing a full tour with him would be. It's very cool, and humbling, to be the recipient of such generosity, and it really made the trip special. I've got some great riding ahead, and I look forward to the inevitable tales. I am also planning on taking stock of the last few months, hopefully jotting some thoughts down which might help me negotiate next winter a bit more happily - the missing blogs, so to speak. Until then, onwards and upwards, as they say (with at least one wheel on the ground). Thanks for reading. Posted by sifter at 10:14 PM 4 comments:	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3522
__label__cc	0.737111	0.262889	River Ave. Blues » Thoughts prior to the 2017 non-tender deadline Thoughts prior to the 2017 non-tender deadline November 30, 2017 by Mike Leave a Comment Wednesday Night Open Thread The (Chad) Green Monster [2017 Season Review] One of these three might get non-tendered tomorrow. (Presswire) Tomorrow is the deadline for teams to offer contracts to their pre-arbitration and arbitration-eligible players. It’s the non-tender deadline. A brand new batch of free agents will hit the market, though there’s a reason these guys become free agents. They get non-tendered because they’re damaged goods (injured pitchers, usually) or their salary has eclipsed their on-field worth. Anyway, I have some thoughts, so let’s get to ’em. 1. Might as well start with the non-tender deadline. The Yankees do not have any obvious non-tender candidates. MLBTR listed Austin Romine as a non-tender candidate, though I do not get the sense the Yankees are eager to make a change at backup catcher. I suspect their internal defensive metrics indicate Romine is a heck of a lot better than the public metrics and the eye test would leave you to believe. Plus he seems like a genuinely good dude and the Yankees value having a good clubhouse. Maybe they’ll do the non-tender/re-sign to a minor league deal trick to clear up a 40-man spot? I think Kyle Higashioka (optionable catcher with power) and Gio Gallegos (optionable reliever with great Triple-A numbers) would find Major League deals elsewhere, so they’re not non-tender/re-sign candidates. I mean, if Colten Brewer got a Major League deal, Gallegos would too. Maybe the Yankees can do it with Tyler Austin? Free agency is always flooded with first base types, plus Austin knows he’s always another Greg Bird injury away from a call-up. My guess is Austin would look for a fresh start elsewhere. The non-tender deadline figures to pass tomorrow without the Yankees doing much of anything. They’ll probably tender all their players and that’ll be that. 2. Bold prediction: the Yankees will have their managerial search wrapped up by the end of next week, then they’ll hold the introductory press conference at the Winter Meetings the following week. That gives them this week and next week to wrap up the first (New York) and second (Tampa) rounds of interviews and make a decision. Is it weird that naming a manager six weeks after canning the old manager qualifies as a bold prediction? It kinda is. The managerial search has been shockingly slow-moving. The GM Meetings and Thanksgiving slowed things down a bit, for sure, but the Yankees do seem to be taking their sweet time with this. Like I said two weeks ago, I don’t see the prolonged managerial search as a bad thing. Or even as a good thing. It’s just a thing. I do think the longer it goes on, the worse it looks. The optics are bad. It makes the Yankees look indecisive, and look like they’re having a hard time finding a qualified candidate. I’ve seen plenty of “the Yankees screwed up when they fired Joe Girardi without having a replacement in mind!” comments on social media and whatnot. I don’t agree with that — how often does a team fire a manager and have his replacement already picked out anyway? — though that’s the sentiment. It looks bad. Hopefully the Yankees wrap this up soon, pick a great manager, and we can all move on to bigger and better things. 3. I think Brian Cashman not having a contract is weirder than the Yankees not having a manager at this point. Hal Steinbrenner said Cashman is working on what amounts to a handshake agreement during the owners’ meetings two weeks ago, and that’s the last update we received. There’s no reason to think Cashman won’t be back though. He’s running the managerial search — Hal wouldn’t let Cashman do that if there were any chance he wouldn’t be back — and the Yankees sent out a press release this week promoting Cashman’s annual rappel down the Landmark Building in Stamford as part of the Heights & Lights Festival, so they certainly aren’t acting like Cashman might leave. Cashman and Hal are probably haggling over money. Cashman might be pushing for Theo Epstein money ($10M+ annually) and Hal is countering with Andrew Friedman money ($7M annually). Something like that. It’s just weird this is taking so long. Cashman’s previous contracts always came together fairly quickly. This one is dragging out for some reason, and that it’s happening at the same time as the prolonged managerial search makes it a little curious. (Elsa/Getty) 4. My hunch coming into the offseason was that the Yankees and CC Sabathia would hammer out a new contract fairly quickly, though that hasn’t happened. I still think Sabathia is coming back though. It makes too much sense not to happen. He’s still effective and he doesn’t want to leave while the Yankees could use the rotation depth and wouldn’t have to worry about any sort of adjustment period. The fact he should come fairly cheap helps too. Still no deal though. Two things about that. One, there has been very little free agent activity overall this winter, so it’s not like everyone else is signing while Sabathia sits and waits. And two, I get the feeling a “CC we really want you back, but we need to take care of some other stuff first, so let’s touch base in a few weeks” conversation has already taken place. The Yankees need to hire a new manager, build a new coaching staff, re-sign Cashman, and work through Shohei Ohtani’s rapid fire free agency. Once they do that, they can circle back to Sabathia and hammer out a deal. I think he’s coming back. I hope he comes back. CC is the man. 5. Spin rate, particularly curveball spin rate in the wake of Tom Verducci’s article on the Astros, is all the rage these days — you are forewarned, there might be a “the Yankees and their use of spin rate” post coming at some point — so I’ve been toying around with Statcast leaderboards the last few weeks. One-hundred-and-seventy-five pitchers threw at least 150 curveballs this season. Here’s where various Yankees (and one ex-Yankee) rank in average curveball spin rate: 9. Sonny Gray: 2,890 rpm 10. Jonathan Holder: 2,879 rpm 19. Dellin Betances: 2,807 rpm 23. Jaime Garcia: 2,797 rpm 37. Bryan Mitchell: 2,725 rpm 45. David Robertson: 2,685 rpm (MLB average: 2,489 rpm) One, I’m surprised Robertson does not rank higher. Two, is it a coincidence the Yankees acquired two (three, really) curveball spin rate darlings at the trade deadline? Surely availability had something do with it — only five starters were traded in the week prior to the deadline (Gray, Garcia twice, Yu Darvish, Jeremy Hellickson, Trevor Cahill) — but Gray and Garcia seem to fit the mold. Three, is Mitchell’s curveball spin rate the reason he wasn’t a 40-man roster casualty prior to the Rule 5 Draft protection deadline? He’s been pretty bad in the big leagues overall (4.94 ERA and 4.26 FIP in 98.1 innings) and he’ll be out of minor league options next year, yet he’s still on the 40-man. And four, Holder’s spin rate and minor league performance is probably going to keep getting him chances. Spin rate isn’t everything — many of the curveball spin rate leaders the last two years are pretty crummy pitchers — but it is clearly something teams value. I don’t think it is any way a coincidence so many Yankees who use a curveball as their primary secondary pitch have such high spin rates. (Notable exception: Jordan Montgomery and his below average 2,375 rpm curveball.) 6. I’ve been thinking a lot about the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the MLBPA lately given all the Ohtani stuff. For all intents and purposes, baseball has a salary cap. The new luxury tax rules are so harsh — teams can be hit with a luxury tax rate as high as 95% under certain conditions — that no owner will ever allow the front office to get close to that threshold, so it’s effectively a salary cap. Draft and international spending is capped now too. Everything is capped and somehow the union let it happen. Good luck uncapping it. I think one of the MLBPA’s top priorities during the next round of CBA talks (beyond hiring an actual labor professional to represent them) is getting the minimum salary raised substantially. Teams are building around young players and eschewing big money free agents more than ever, so make sure those young players get paid. The league minimum will be $545,000 in 2018. It was $490,000 five years ago. That’s an 11% increase. Meanwhile, MLB revenues went from $8 billion five years ago to north of $10 billion this year. That’s more than a 25% increase. Get the young players their piece of the pie. The minimum salary will be $555,000 in 2019, then players will get cost of living adjustments in 2020 and 2021 before it’s time to bang out a new CBA. I’d like to see the MLBPA push for a minimum salary closer to $1M. Push for $1M and settle for like $750,000 or so. The more young players make early in their careers, the less likely they are to sign long-term extensions, and that means more talent gets pumped back into free agency, which raises salaries for everyone.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3530
__label__wiki	0.699932	0.699932	"Lost" spoilers coming up just as soon as I buy tickets to The New York Philharmonic Presents The Songs of Three Dog Night... If you can get past the episode's complete lack of resemblance to the promos (which billed it as some kind of edge-of-your-seats thriller), this was the best episode of the season by quite a stretch, featuring many of the things the fans had been clamoring for: more of the cast in general, more Hurley in particular, more humor, absolutely zero mindgames or torture involving The Others, etc. Back when "Dave" aired last year, Matt Seitz even argued that Jorge Garcia had become the show's "de facto star and its deepest actor (with the possible exception of O'Quinn), and I think the goodness of "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" really speaks to that. The flashbacks retread the same ground as two previous Hurley episodes, but Garcia kept me interested in Hurley's deepening misery in a way that Matthew Fox can't with Jack's narcissism. His "Let's make our own luck" speech to Charlie was almost Belushi-esque (John, not Jim) in its conviction in a completely insane, futile and dangerous gesture. Hurley is the hero of this show -- my hero, anyway. He's the only one who ever asks relevant questions, the only one who really seems to care about the emotional well-being of his fellow castaways, the only one concerned with improving everyone's quality of life. By the episode's climax, I really cared about whether they could get that damn Microbus to start, even if it would only be useful for going around in circles. (In that way, it's a perfect symbol for what the writers have allowed "Lost" to become.) I could do without Hurley becoming the latest Lostaway with daddy issues (is there any character -- or, for that matter, TV drama writer -- who doesn't have them?), and without Cheech's distracting toupees, but the present-day stuff was spot-on. In particular, I loved Hurley's reaction to Sawyer's return, a moment where even the self-loathing con man couldn't help but enjoy someone else's affection for him. I hope that Hurley really has broken his bad luck streak thanks to the van and a little "Shambala," but even if he hasn't, this was a welcome oasis from all the bad feeling that's been strangling this season. On the heavier side of things, we have Kate acting tough and proactive in what feels like the first time since early in season one. It always drives me nuts how the writers spent so much time establishing Kate as a bad-ass and then immediately turned her into the girl who gets tied to the train tracks. I just hope that Kate, Rousseau and company don't go to a lot of trouble invading Alcatraz, only to find it empty. Kate's desire to find The Others' village last week -- after Karl said that his people don't spend much time on Alcatraz -- gives me hope that that's her objective. Did Rousseau tell Kate about her daughter in "Maternity Leave" last season, or is that a piece of information that we're supposed to assume Sayid told Kate about at some point? I'm almost hoping it's the latter, as it would imply that the castaways really do trade information in between scenes. Another great Hurley scene: him updating Libby on recent goings-on. The heartfelt monologue at a loved one's grave is an overused cliche, but two things sold it: Garcia's utter sincerity, and the pullback to reveal that they had built a fence around the cemetary. They've now lost so many people post-crash (Boone, Arzt, Shannon, one of Steve/Scott, Ana-Lucia, Libby, Eko, others I'm blanking on right now) that the cemetary is now the most substantial thing the castaways have built. Damn. Did Karl take the boat, and if not, why on earth wouldn't Sawyer and Kate have held onto the thing? Sawyer's objection last week was to navigating at night, but in the daytime they could have just hugged the coastline, and they'd still have a vehicle that would be much, much more useful than Hurley's new wheels. Getting back to the "are deleted scenes canon?" issue from earlier in the week, didn't I read somewhere that, in a deleted scene from "Live Together, Die Alone," Vincent joined Walt and Michael on their boat trip off the island? Now we know the source of all of Sawyer's '70s TV references: he had mono for two months as a kid. Other moments of fine Sawyer-related comedy: Hurley's failed attempt at a nickname comeback, and Sawyer teaching Jin some valuable marital phrases. That particular ESL joke's an old one, but always a good one. One downside to hanging with the entire beach gang: Nikki and Paulo return. If only we could have our Lost and eat it too... I've been down with Lost and all it entails from day 1. Still, the flashbacks on the show always seem to pull out of the island activity just in time to make them just so slightly irritating, especially when they present little or no knew information about the castaways, their pasts, or their motivation. Hurley's streak of bad luck has already been documented, do we need 15 minutes more of this? On the flip side, the car story and the returning dad after Hurley makes his millions was a nice bookend for the action on the island. And it was pretty cool to see the Chicken Shack get deep fried. But couldnt we lose 5 or 10 minutes of flashbacks for some sub-plot development outside of the 30 second throw-away of Kate "going for help" and then the final 3 minutes of finding Rousseau. I've got to believe that everyone who has stuck with the show knew Kate's intentions from the get-go. Why do we have to wait for another tedious episode of Jack-centric activity to look back in on him? Would it ruin the pacing to jump to a shot of Juliet torturing Jack by grilling him cheese, or Ben and the Sheriff shooting the breeze? Can't we cut the fat from the flashbacks, beef up the subplot, and indulge in a full hour (or whatever time is actually allotted to the show) of Lost goodness? We were initially so blinded from drinking the Lost juice in the first 2 seasons to notice that only one major plot can be addressed per episode, or have the writers legitimately strayed from their previous formula? Is any of this stuff that Alan didn't already say in his column, or am I just subconsciously regurgitating all of his previous comments. Still, I'm totally hooked on this show, flaws and all, and I'll be there with bells and whistles to the end. Something about Lost just makes it feel A-grade, no matter what. This would have been a great episode had it come, say, after a series of episodes in which something had happened. It's a breather episode, and that it's a high point of any sort (the Desmond ep was much, much more exciting) is sort of sad. But: It very directly addressed a need this show's had this season. Hurley decides they've got to fix the van because it would be fun. And it was. Hurley-Sawyer scenes rock. The hug was great. “Red... neck... man!” was funny. “Touché” was hilarious. I thought - and maybe this is what you meant, anyway - Sawyer was using the English lessons as a way to apologize out loud to Kate without actually apologizing to Kate. And that was sort of sweet. (Also: “Well look at that. Somebody’s hooked on phonics.” Hooked on Phonics refs always work.) It kills me how useless Sayid and Locke have become. Philip said... Anyone else notice that Hurley and Charlie are becoming 'blood brothers'? Hurley has the numbers' curse on his head. Charlie has the impending death on his head that only Desmond can see coming. I realized this when Hurley was telling Charlie to cheer up and quit being so depressed. They obviously both needed something to distract them from these Achilles Heels. I think that the message is that death and doom is always coming for you, but what you do between now and death/doom is how you live. I loved this episode. I loved it because it's basically the show I want to be watching. All of season one and about half of season two I was really into the mysteries. I loved the questions, and didn't particularly care for answers. But then everything went overboard and I got burnt out (along with, it seems, most of the audience). Now, all I want is Gilligan's Island without the camp. I want hijinx and laughs -- maybe some light drama. I want a show about people trying to live on an island. I don't need mystery anymore Veronica Mars and Heroes offers plenty. Lost would be a better show if it spent less time trying to be relevant and more time trying to be fun. Cinemania said... This episode we saw more of Lost (wait for it) spinning its wheels. Sorry, but really, how could one resist? Hurley is the show's best character (this side of season 1's Locke), and Garcia the show's most consistently engaging performer (again, this side of Mr. Stepfather), so it's easy to overlook the fact that nothing much happened, beyond some nice bonding moments. But at least we got to hang with Hurley, which always works for me. Yeah, Rousseau made it pretty clear to Kate and Clare that the only reasons she was going on their little mission in "Maternity Leave" was to find her 16 year old daughter, Alex. I loved the humor in this episode. That is what we've been missing--the character development and the relationships between all the Losties. It was nice to just watch them interact without needing big questions answered. And I'm in agreement with Rick. I want this show to be more like a sophisticated version of "Gilligan's Island" rather than this big huge mystery/thriller show. That is what I had expected from the very first episode. Instead of phones from coconuts, I was hoping for these castaways to make do with their lot and try to find a way to build a civilization. Having the Others ruined it. And having us get to know the Others ruined it even more. It would have been cooler if all the Others were dead, like Roger Work Man, and the Losties had to figure out what happened to these guys. But, I guess I'll just have to hope for more Hurley episodes. Everyone else is into risk-taking, action-packed lives. Hurley just wants to have a normal, happy life without the curse hanging over his head. With the return of Nikki and Paulo, suddenly I am nostalgic for the Others. I surprised myself with how much hatred I felt towards those two. My wife asked, "Where's Rose and Bernard?" Good question, and why do we get Barbie and Ken's retarded cousins instead? BF said... So, on this uncharted Pacific Island, we have... * a crashed and abandoned Hot Air balloon (courtesy Mr. Gale) * a crashed and abandoned pirate ship (Black Rock) * a crashed and abandoned VW Van * 2 crashed and abapdoned planes (Oceanic 815 and Air Nigeria). What sort of otherworldly transportation hub is this? What other long-ago vehicles will we find? a Train? a Greyhound? MIR? Ogdenville's Monorail? The Sword of Orion? Surely they will find an autogyro bound for the Prussian consulate in Siam. I didn't love this ep, but I did like it a lot, especially after last week's disaster. Hopefully, they're getting back to what made this show great: more duuuuude! I hope Nikki & Paolo are just there as fodder for more deaths. As most everyone's said, props to Garcia for carrying the episode, and to the writers for having some fun with a one-off that got away from the convoluted mysteries and reminded me why I like these characters. Also, it's nice to see an enjoyable (for me anyway) Sawyer, which is probably due to his interacting with someone other than Kate. He's been grating on my nerves all season being solely part of the love triangle. His comraderie with Jin and slow acceptance of Hurley's hug were the highlights of the show for me. -Lance There's going to be a Nikki and Paulo episode in a few weeks (I think it's episode 14 overall), that Damon and Carlton claim will change everyone's perception of the two and make us understand why they're there. Uh-huh. I'm not calling for a boycott, just saying I'll personally be busy that night. My wife asked, "Where's Rose and Bernard?" Good question, and why do we get Barbie and Ken's retarded cousins instead? Lindelof says that the two actors (the one who plays Rose in particular) have a lot of other jobs (stage and screen), so they're not as available as much as the Lost producers would like, and the show doesn't need them enough to spend the money to make them regular castmembers so they'll always be around. Jason said... I just don't get the "Lost" hate. When was "Lost" ever "Gilligan's Island?" Never. It's like people have made up some idealized vision of what they wish the show was and have convinced themselves that it was always that show. If you had to read a novel one chapter at a time, and the chapters were spread out by weeks or sometimes months, you'd lose perspective on the flow of the novel's story too. I get the feeling that "Lost" will end up working much better when viewed on DVD as a complete story. In the meantime, though, I enjoy the ride immensely. But then, I take the show for what it is and don't try to imagine it if it was a story about identical-twin clowns who solve crimes.... on an island! I get the feeling that "Lost" will end up working much better when viewed on DVD as a complete story. Then you have far greater faith in Lindelof and Cuse than the rest of us do. You want a real "novel for TV," try watching "The Wire" on HBO, where it's obvious there will be payoffs down the road even when individual episodes offer little to no closure. The longer "Lost" has been around, the more obvious it becomes to me (and others) that the producers are making it up as they go along, so the only way to enjoy it is on an episode-by-episode basis. Hours like this one or the Desmond show a couple of weeks ago are good, whether or not they advance the story, while all the Others episodes simultaneously fail to move the plot and to entertain on their own. I posted somewhere else earlier about how sick I am of everyone having daddy issues. Then it occurred to me that this is another common thread of everyone on the island. Yeah, that's the ticket! It must be part of the ISLAND MYSTERY! Seriously, someone on this island had to have a daddy they liked. BTW, speaking of Lost, did anyone notice how much weight Garcia's dropped? Even his flashbacks are skinnier... Tosy And Cosh said... Alan - Can you clarify if the regulars get paid for eps thay aren't in? I always asumed they did, but all of the stuff with Veronica Mars characters disappearing for eps at a time so that they can save budget by not paying them would seem to counter that. ? Unrelated, but how great would it be if we get a flashback soon that features another heretofore unseen Daddy and it's made abundantly clear that the character and his or her father had a remarkable, close, loving relationship? The presidential candidate that vows to abolish Nikki and Paulo has my vote. rukrusher said... If Lost was a novel I would be skipping to the last chapter right now. Jason, is it just me or were you channeling Garden State a little there in your defense of the show? Alan, Thank you, thank you, thank you! Explanation: Thank you for verbalizing what I couldn't quite put my finger on last night about Hurley in that van. "Belushi-esque" couldn't be more perfect. I kept wondering who he was reminding me of so much, but it was just outside my memory's grasp. Stupid fibro. fog messes up the best little things! Anonymous: Nope, no channeling. Alan: I do believe that the producers know where they're going and aren't "making it up as they go along." Does this mean that every step is planned? Of course not. J. Michael Straczynski knew where he was going with "Babylon 5," but every time an actor dropped out or an opportunity for an interesting modification to the main story came along, the story had to change somewhat. I do believe that the fundamental parts of the "Lost" story remain the same. Believe it or not, many (most?) novelists don't write outlines where every single story point is mapped out in incredible detail. Instead they have overall plot plans and know where they're going, but during the writing process things change and evolve. Sometimes the story details go in a different direction that you expected, but it's more organic or more interesting and so you go in that direction. The difference is, unless you're Dickens or someone else who's writing chapters in public, as a novelist you get to write your whole piece, revise it, and then release it on the world. On TV there's no chance for that, and people are judging you every step of the way. Several TV seasons have looked MUCH better to me on DVD, when I've been able to appreciate them in rapid succession rather than stretched out over months. There was a particular Buffy season (five? six?) that was FAR better upon review because what I felt was an interminable subplot was really only interminiable because it was stretched around months of reruns with only spotty re-airings. Is "Lost" without failing or fault? Absolutely not. But I think my opinion that they're not making it up as they go along has just as much validity as yours does. Mine has the added advantage of being what the producers say, which means that I think they're telling the truth, and you think Abrams, Cuse, and Lindelof are lying. If you want to assume they're lying, that's your right, but I'm inclined to think they aren't. I should add that if there is a major fault to be laid at the feet of the "Lost" producers, it's not that they're making it up, but that their planned story is just too thin. As a result, they've got multi-year story points plotted out, and they figure out before they start a season about what the major events are going to be, and what the season finale is going to be. Which is fine if you've got a lot of story to use. But one does get the sense with "Lost" that they don't have enough material to stretch over an entire season. The end result is that the pace of the plot is so slow that it's essentially ground to a halt. I see that, absolutely. Personally, I enjoy "Lost" for many more reasons than the advancement of the plot. I didn't find the Others episodes dull at all, but I understand that many people did. Anyway, I do belive they know what story they want to tell -- I just think they may not have enough story and are spreading it too thin. Perhaps that's one of the reasons they're openly talking about when they should end the show. They may have realized that for their show to succeed they're going to have to play out their story much faster, which is going to cause trouble if ABC wants them to go seven years. Though with all the backlash I see, I'm starting to wonder if they'll make it to a fifth year. Another good line, when Hurley gave his speech about looking death in the face and saying, "Whatever, man..." I agree with Alan in that I enjoy the show on a per-episode basis, and I too thought the Desmond ep and this Hurley one were the best so far this season. I am sticking with it, and I still think that it's one of the best shows out there. I don't have cable, after all, so with only network TV to choose from, my choices are limited. Lost stays on my "must see" list, and I don't foresee this changing. I sure hope it doesn't, but of course I was one of the many "Twin Peaks" and "X Files" viewers who got burned in the end... This episode felt like a spec script recut to fit the current status of the show. The bus is out of nowhere and I am guessing will go nowhere. Still, it was nice to smile with the characters. A little comic relief is helpful. Just ask Wm. Shakesp. The van was a little too "Little Miss Sunshine" for me. But I'm still hooked. There's going to be a Nikki and Paulo episode in a few weeks You liiiie! Why do you liiiie? [/Ned Flanders off] Sara Anne said... "Red...neck...man" "Touche." made me giggle...I missed those other characters...but then, I'm in it for the characters and relationships moreso than the mysteries/mythology...

__label__wiki	0.737291	0.737291	We Are Legion: The Story of Hacktivists You may think you know about Anonymous, the decentralized online collective who have merrily pranked and disrupted high-level corporate and governmental websites, and gone to war with Scientology to boot. You don’t, proves Brian Knappenberger’s wildly new engaging documentary, We Are Legion: The Story of Hacktivists. Over the past couple years, Anonymous has been associated with raids or denial-of-service attacks on hundreds of targets, from Mastercard, Visa, PayPal and Sony to the Motion Picture Association of America and cyber-security/intelligence firms like HBGary Federal. We Are Legion not only details their exploits, but also delves inside the roots and culture of the group, exploring early hacktivist collectives like Cult of the Dead Cow and Electronic Disturbance Theater before charting Anonymous’ birth and fitful “maturation” from an offshoot message board on the website 4Chan. The film’s technical package is fairly unexceptional, save for two notable elements. Composer John Dragonetti’s contributions provide We Are Legion with some extra oomph, and Skype-recorded video chats with various masked Anonymous members help give a rounded authenticity to the project. While tech authors like Richard Thieme and Steven Levy, amongst other talking heads, provide wonderful mainstream context and recap, it is these chats (and other more professionally recorded interviews with outed Anonymous members) that give Knappenberger’s movie a real personality, and a charged sense of self-narration from an organic, evolving entity. Anonymous started out pulling goofy stunts en masse — think videogame-crashing, Rick-rolling, LOLcats, and other popular Internet memes. Then, in 2006 and ’07, they turned their sites on Hal Turner, a white supremacist with a self-syndicated radio show. Internet-based pranks were paired with other means of disruption of his hateful messages, and a kind of greater activist consciousness was born. Some of its other battles — including its tangles with Scientology, over their serial harassment of ex-church members and any journalist who deigns to write something critical about them — are epically hilarious, and their narrative recap here is fun and entertaining on a level completely devoid of any other sociopolitical context. Still, while Anonymous’ support of WikiLeaks and its embattled founder, Julian Assange, got big press when the group targeted online financial companies who disabled their contribution buttons on the site, a lot of folks in the world at large don’t realize the group’s connection and indeed critical importance in not only fomenting the Arab Spring, but providing crucial support to besieged democracy activists in Tunisia and Egypt — validating SSL keys and certificates to help circumvent governmental shutdowns of the Internet, and sending out tips on how to make homemade gas masks and protective body armor. The pat soundbite gained some traction even in the mainstream media — that these governmental overthrows were made possible by Facebook, Twitter and social media — but We Are Legion shows that it’s no cliché. For this reason and others, the governmental crackdown on some of these hacktivists should give freedom-of-speech-and-assembly town criers plenty of pause. There are sometimes laws broken, but a lot of what Anonymous does and supports could easily be described as civil disobedience — witness their early embrace of the Occupy Wall Street movement. After all, we live more and more of our lives online these days, so do we not have a right and space to also protest online? For the full, original review, from ShockYa, click here.

World’s richest man, Microsoft founder and philanthrophist Bill Gates is all praise for the campaign which was kickstarted by the Prime Minister, unabashedly speaking of toilets in his first Independence day speech. Gates, in his blog, wrote a piece titled ‘India is winning its war on human waste’, lauding the steps taken by the nation to deal with dirt and disease. He applauding the speech as “one of the boldest comments on public health that I have ever heard from an elected official...” . Quoting portions of the speech wherein the Prime Minister spoke of the difficulties women in the country have to face owing to lack of toilets, Gates admitted that he couldn’t “ think of another time when a national leader has broached such a sensitive topic so frankly and so publicly.” Impressed at the words having transformed into action, with the Swachch Bahrat campaign, Gates says “Modi backed up his words with actions” and has posted a short video titled Talking Toilets that talks about the same. Gates goes gaga about how one man’s vision has translated into a massive change. “What I love most about Clean India is that it identified a big problem, got everyone working on it, and is using measurement to show where things need to be done differently.” Calling it an inspiration for other countries, Gates signs off saying, “ By aiming high, the people of India are demanding change, and they are taking action to make it happen...” * 30 tips for successful academic research and w... * What Trump’s Next 100 Days Will Look Like ** Four steps to winning peace in Afghanistan Gates Endorses Modi’s Toilet-Building Initiative, ...

__label__cc	0.714059	0.285941	$CAC In Narrow Range 06/06/11 12:26:28 PM by Chaitali Mohile The French CAC Index is stuck between support and resistance. Security: $CAC The pullback rally of French CAC 40 Index ($CAC) breached the major 200-day moving average (MA) resistance at 3800 levels. It was a tough task for $CAC to sustain above this newly formed support. In Figure 1, we can see the index is fluctuating near the ascending 200-day MA resistance, trying to establish support there. The descending 50-day moving average (MA) was another major resistance for the index. After converting the long-term MA resistance to support, the 50-day MA began suppressing a breakout rally. As a result, $CAC turned sideways with the support of the 200-day MA. The Fibonacci retracement level tool used in Figure 1 shows additional support-resistance for the index. The index has violated the first Fibonacci retracement level at 38.2% and is heading towards the next one at the 50% level. However, the 50-day MA resistance has trapped the price rally in a very narrow range. FIGURE 1: $CAC, MONTHLY Graphic provided by: StockCharts.com. For the past four months, $CAC ranged between 3880 and 4100. Although the selling pressure is ruling over the buying pressure, an overheated downtrend in Figure 1 has marginally descended below the 20 levels. There is a very small gap between the negative directional index (-DI) (selling pressure) and the positive directional index (+DI) (buying pressure) of the average directional index (ADX) (14), highlighting a volatile consolidation. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) (12,26,9) shows diminishing momentum in the rally, which would result in a weak consolidation. The full stochastic (14,3,3) is highly overbought and is likely to plunge. Thus, the indicators and price chart suggest narrow range consolidation for $CAC. FIGURE 2: $CAC, WEEKLY On the weekly time frame in Figure 2, $CAC has a robust previous resistance at 4100. After an advance rally from 3400 levels, the index moved sideways at 4100 levels, forming lower highs and higher lows. We can see the converging consolidation range that looks like a pennant of a bullish flag & pennant formation in Figure 2. The two trendlines of the pennant have almost converged, indicating readiness to break out in an upward direction. But the resistance on the price chart and the bearish pressure would stop the index from undergoing the bullish breakout. The narrowing range of $CAC is filled with red bearish candles and doji candlesticks as well. In addition, the bullish rally (flag pole) also has many long red candles, indicating a strong bearish force throughout the rally. The 200-day and 50-day MAs have trapped the index (Figure 2). The converging moving averages are restricting the consolidating movement of $CAC. We can see the 200-day MA resistance is discouraging every bullish move, whereas the 50-day support is protecting the index from bearish damage. The stochastic oscillator has formed lower lows and highs, forming a descending channel that itself is a bearish formation. The MACD line and trigger line are tangled, indicating high volatility and weak momentum. The ADX (14) is surging above 17 with increasing -DI, signifying the possibility of $CAC regaining its bearish trend. Thus, $CAC would continue its volatile consolidation in the very narrow range of the converging moving averages and other resistances as well.

This is not an easy occupation, as the gods’ stables include pointy, poisonous basilisks, nine-headed water monsters and giant indestructible lions. Demon’s daily deeds include a great deal of poo-shovelling and feeding, whilst trying to avoid being eaten or being stung by an enormous scorpion. His beast-keeping skills are truly put to the test when Hades ‘invites’ Demon down to the Underworld, where his guardian, the Hound of Hades, is rather poorly: ‘He won’t ssstop sssneezing and howling,’ complains the humorously sibilant Lord of the Underworld. This is a grave problem for Demon for several reasons, chief of which being the fact that Hades is likely to toast his toes to cinders if he can’t cure the beast! Fortunately, Demon need not face this challenge alone. He is aided, as always, by his trusty, mechanical (and strangely anachronistic) flying metal medicine box. The box quickly calculates a cure for the canine’s cold but, naturally, it requires a collection of rare ingredients for which a quest must be undertaken. Demon therefore embarks on an expedition that has all the hallmarks of a classic Hellenic quest. He has to nurture the ego of narcissistic gods, hunt for strange flora, and avoid an army of undead skeletons. His near-impossible mission is complicated still further by the hunger in his belly and the knowledge that eating anything at all in the Underworld will lead to an eternity as a slave to Hades. Despite Demon’s unenviable predicament though, there are few moments of genuine tension. Demon and his friends are harmless, well-meaning and blessed with good fortune throughout. Though younger readers will be eager to see him succeed, they may also be somewhat unfulfilled by the lack of excitement that may have been provided by additional moments of peril. The series Beasts of Olympus will allow a young audience to delight in the fascinating mythical creatures of Ancient Greece in the same way that Percy Jackson and other favourites have captured the imaginations of older children. Demon will have plenty of adventures ahead of him – there are countless more gods, goddesses, monsters and mythical creatures for him to meet! Stuart Dyer	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3551

__label__wiki	0.92511	0.92511	Giving the US-backed MILF its substate EDITORIAL 08/31/2011 Giving the US-backed MILF its substate With the Moro Islamic Liberation Front panelist talking, certain points during that “secret” meeting in Japan between Noynoy and MILF chieftain appear to bear out suspicions that Noynoy did promise the MILF certain things, including a substate for the BangsaMoro government, and a lot more besides, since some Cabinet officials representing the very departments that are excluded in the substate version of the MILF were also present. The MILF was pretty upbeat after the secret talks with Noynoy, and its leaders were already talking as though the substate proposal they spoke about was a done deal, with merely a final accord making it official. Obviously too, with the Budget Secretary Butch Abad also in the picture, money — and a lot of it — not just a measly P5 million to keep the MILF happy — was part of the secret meeting topic. The talk apparently had already revolved around a substate, with a BangsaMoro authority granted a lot of state power and with the government of the Philippines having the authority over national defense, foreign relations, currency and postal services and would still be exercised by the central government..... MORE The power of money — and control FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/31/2011 The power of money — and control Noynoy and his budget boy show clear signs of making the Supreme Court (SC) toe the Malacañang line. It has become much too clear that Noynoy wants to control the high court, to the point of having slashed the SC’s budget last year, and again this year, with Malacañang insisting that P1.25 billion in the judiciary’s budget should be under the executive department’s control, using the mantra of “judicial transparency.” The problem is that under the Constitution, the judiiciary is protected by its fiscal autonomy, besides which, Noynoy and his administration can hardly claim, in all honesty, that they are transparent, especially about the funds. To this day, Noynoy has not accounted for the expenses made on his 2011 P400-million intelligence funds, as well as his expenses in the matter of the funds in his presidential social fund (PSF). No project has been announced thus far that he had assisted though his PSF. Today, despite the utter lack of Palace transparency, Noynoy even has added another P200 million to his inteligence fund, for a 2012 total of P600 million in intelligence fund alone, even if his office is strictly not into intelligence gathering, which is the reason he cut off intel funds in other departments..... MORE Tough times ahead for Japan’s Noda, say analysts ANALYSIS 08/31/2011 Tough times ahead for Japan’s Noda, say analysts TOKYO — New Premier Yoshihiko Noda faces a struggle to stop Japan’s revolving door of political leadership, analysts warn, jeopardizing his chances of tackling the world’s biggest debt burden. The hawkish finance minister replaced Naoto Kan as prime minister Tuesday to become the nation’s sixth new leader in five years after the ruling Democratic Party of Japan chose him as its new president over rival Banri Kaieda. Noda, who likens himself to a marine bottom-feeder rather than a glittering goldfish, has stressed his credentials as a responsible, moderate and middle-of-the road leader at a time of national crisis. But there is skepticism that will be enough, with his immediate priority the passing of a third budget to pay for post-March 11 quake reconstruction as he looks to revive an economy that has contracted for three straight quarters..... MORE Valueless C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 08/31/2011 Valueless Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, she of the acerbic tongue and matchless wit, is at her fightingest mode all over again. She has scored her colleagues’ propensity to undertake “inquiries-in-aid-of-legislation” instead of buckling to actual legislative work and policy making. She admitted that most of the time the probes do not really serve their purpose and, worse, turn senators into two bit investigators and prosecutors. Herself a darling of media, she decried the fact that the medium has actually turned legislators into actors doing everything possible to get into the news and bring attention to themselves rather than the topic at hand. She called the hearings which are usually covered live on TV and radio as variously “inquiries-in-aid-of-election” or “inquiries-in-aid-of-public adulation.” Said Santiago: “These inquiries-in-aid-of-legislation or public hearings or public investigation of the Senate are actually useless. It is valueless because the most that we can do is refer the case to the Ombudsman or the Department of Justice for them to study if there is probable cause to conduct preliminary investigation. If we have the power of preliminary investigation that would justify the time spent in these proceedings, we become investigators and fiscals. But that is not the case..... MORE Cambodia’s activist monk fights on despite threats focus 08/31/2011 Cambodia’s activist monk fights on despite threats PHNOM PENH — His saffron robe a rare beacon among protesters, Cambodia’s most outspoken monk has been banned from temples and risked arrest for challenging rights abuses — but he vows not to be silenced. “The more they threaten me, the more I stand up for our rights,” said the Venerable Loun Sovath, also known as the “multimedia monk” for filming forced evictions and distributing the footage. In a country where Buddhist monks are hugely respected but rarely seen standing shoulder to shoulder with those fighting abuses, his peaceful activism has attracted praise from rights groups — and condemnation from authorities. “Seeing a monk among the crowd lifts the spirits of people defending their human rights,” the bespectacled holy man told AFP during a recent interview in the capital, where he joined a rally against deforestation..... MORE US opposes VFA review —Wikileaks By Michaela P. del Callar 08/31/2011 US opposes VFA review —Wikileaks The United States had opposed the review of the controversial Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the Philippines even as the Philippine government pointed out “defects” in the defense accord, a US Embassy cable released by online whistleblower WikiLeaks said. Former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Affairs Richard Lawless, who visited in Manila in 2007, told Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Rafael Seguis in a meeting that there is no need to review the agreement since it is working well for both countries. Manila is spe-cifically against a vague provision granting the US primary custody of American military personnel ac-cused of breaking Philippine laws. Surrendering erring American troops to Philippine authorities would mean they would have to be incarcerated in a local jail, touted as one of the worst prison cells in the world, and join other Filipino inmates, a move the US government strongly objects. This situation was put to a test when Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith was accused of raping a Filipina off military hours..... MORE Bad performance did Alvarez in — Palace By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan 08/31/2011 NOY REMAINS TIGHT LIPPED ON REPLACEMENT Bad performance did Alvarez in — Palace Bad performance did in former Customs Commissioner Angelito Alvarez, and not his claim of bad publicity which Alvarez insinuated to have been orchestrated by smuggling syndicates, the Palace stated yesterday. Bad publicity was not the reason for President Aquino’s decision to sack Alvarez, deputy presidential spokesman Abigail Valte said yesterday. But even as Aquino declared that he had already given the walking papers to Alvarez, Valte claimed Aquino’s aides are being kept in the dark on his replacement. She is also uncertain when the actual turnover would take place..... MORE RP backs new Libyan government By Michaela P. del Callar 08/31/2011 RP backs new Libyan government The Philippines yesterday finally withdrew its support for Libyan strongman Moammer Kadhafi and announced that it is officially recognizing the opposition-backed National Transitional Council (NTC) as the legitimate government in Libya. As members of the Kadhafi family departed Libya and sought refuge in neighboring Algeria, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) referred to the NTC as the “legitimate representative of the Libyan people” and urged it to “lead the country toward peace and security.” “The Philippines recognizes the National Transitional Council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people during this period of transition in the country,” a DFA statement said. Manila’s support for the NTC indicates the country’s new policy toward Libya after it had hesitated in the past to immediately shift sides as Kadhafi’s grip on power waned to safeguard hundreds of Filipino workers from possible retaliatory attacks..... MORE Solon urges GSIS to restore pension of Napocor retirees 08/31/2011 Solon urges GSIS to restore pension of Napocor retirees Newly installed Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III yesterday asked the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) to restore the monthly pensions of nearly 9,000 National Power Corp. (Napocor) retirees that the state-run pension agency stopped last April, allegedly in compliance with a Supreme Court ruling. Pimentel urged GSIS chairman Daniel Lacson and GSIS president and general manager Robert Vergara to liberally interpret the laws in favor of its members or beneficiaries. “If, under our Labor Laws, a fair day’s pays for a pair day’s work is a long accepted doctrine, the same should equally apply to retirees who look at their retirement benefits as a financial refuge in their old age,” Pimentel said. Pimentel said Napocor retirees have made invaluable contribution to the development of the Philippine electric power industry and deserve due recognition for services rendered..... MORE Lawmaker mulls people’s initiative vs oil deregulation law 08/31/2011 Lawmaker mulls people’s initiative vs oil deregulation law Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares yesterday called on consumers to launch a people’s initiative to repeal the Oil Deregulation Law considering that it has caused so much price increases in oil products and has not served its purpose of lowering its cost. This will be a parallel initiative to Congressional action on bills filed by Bayan Muna and the progressive block in Congress to repeal the Oil Deregulation Law. “It is about time the people take “the law into their own hands,” said Colmenares. “Actions within and outside Congress could help push the eventual repeal of the law that has allowed spiralling fuel prices in the country.” Colmenares said that “an “Initiative” is the power of the people to propose amendments to the Constitution or to propose and enact legislations through a petition of 10% of the registered voters.”.... MORE PRC scraps mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses 08/31/2011 PRC scraps mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz yesterday said the Board of Nursing (BoN) of the Professional Regulation Commission has scrapped the usual mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses beginning with the successful examinees of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure Examination. Baldoz said the move is in response to the Aquino government’s call for prudent budget management. She said Commission ChairmanTeresita Manzala reported to her that the BoN has decided to do away with the mass oath-taking of successful examinees, citing the current socio-economic condition being experienced by Filipino families, especially the income class where majority of the nurses belong. “While the oath-taking is a requirement of law, the Board [of Nursing] decided to simplify it to save on costs and other expenses relevant to the holding of the traditional mass oath-taking. The oath-taking ceremony, however, will still be undertaken either individually or by groups upon their registration for nurse licenses with the PRC,” Manzala explained..... MORE Noy’s bag of surprises EDITORIAL 08/30/2011 Noy’s bag of surprises The nation hasn’t yet recovered from the surprise that Noynoy pulled in that secret meeting held with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman, Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, in Japan that many saw as a revival of the scuttled Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) which sought to create the unconstitutional Bangsamoro Juridical Entity (BJE), now Malacañang has sprung another whammy in the $50-billion joint exploration agreement that may be brought up in Noynoy’s visit to China starting Aug. 30. The agreement sounds like another rerun of another controversial past deal. The Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking Agreement with China during the Arroyo administration was assailed as being grossly tilted toward China’s since it allowed the exploration of areas which are not part of the disputed territories. The Senate then said that going through with the agreement would be an impeachable offense on the part of the President. The Palace has not released any details on the agreement, merely giving an assurance that the administration would assure that the agreement would be fair on the benefits to be derived from it..... MORE Impossible dream FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/30/2011 Impossible dream Strange are truly the ways of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) — despite the country being under a claimed honest and transparent Aquino administration. One would have thought that, having Noynoy appointees to head the Comelec, the electorate can now hope to have a clean poll body and clean polls. But it appears that no such thing is likely to happen — especially as the 2013 senatorial polls loom, with, no doubt, Noynoy wanting to ensure the victory of his senatorial bets — which means bets largely coming from the Liberal Party ranks. While a joint probe body headed by both the Department of Justice and the Comelec will be conducting hearings on the alleged 2004 and 2007 election fraud and the designated members named, the Comelec chairman apparently had a change of mind and pulled out its former law department director Ferdinand Rafanan as member of the joint Comelec-DoJ panel..... MORE Not a peep NO HOLDS BARRED Armida Siguion-Reyna 08/30/2011 Not a peep Outside of typhoon talk, last week’s usap-usapan centered mostly on three topics: Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio Arroyo once again covering up for Kuya Mike, Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay’s heated exchange with Communications Secretary Ricky Carandang, and an Agusan-based priest’s alleged rape of a female minor. Recall that we never really hear anything from Iggy Arroyo. Not a peep, on issues big or small. He just really creeps out of the woodwork whenever there’s need to defend the bro’. And look here, for this time around, he’s not even well, there’s talk about a serious ailment that needed to be treated all the way in London. Yet he broke free from the treatment, albeit momentarily, to confer with lawyers, and thereafter issue statements clearing utol of anything and everything, along the lines of “Whatever it is, it ain’t Jose Miguel whodunit, I dunnit.” So, ‘ayan. The helicopters Sen. Ping Lacson’s witnesses say were actually owned by the former First Gentleman and used in his wife’s 2004 campaign and then sold to the Philippine National Police as brand new? Ex-FG knew nothing about that, because it was all Iggy’s doing. And then Iggy proceeds to tell an unlikely tale of choppers not really owned by them, but merely leased. So on and so forth, ad nauseum, with Iggy clearly expecting us to believe him..... MORE There is an alternative AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 08/30/2011 There is an alternative This outsider has it on good authority that in the recent past, former president Joseph Estrada has developed an admiration for Claro M. Recto, who over the course of his career evolved from traditional politician to consistent nationalist. Had Recto’s nationalism begun to work its magic earlier, there would have been no question of Mr. Estrada attempting to remove the nationalist safeguards from the Constitution during his abbreviated presidency. It would seem, however, that son Jinggoy has yet to fall under the Recto spell, for he is calling for the “outdated charter” to be amended. Another senator supporting a review of the economic provisions is Antonio Trillanes IV. According to the Philippine Star report of Aug. 16, his main interest seems to lie in securing a reduction in domestic shipping rates (presumably by the introduction of foreign competition, although this is far from clear). He also argues that Congress should discuss and vote on the amendments one by one, in the same manner as normal legislation, thus obviating the need for a constitutional convention or constituent assembly, either of which might be railroaded into a sweeping revision of the Charter. It is surprising to see Trillanes’ name associated with revision or elimination of the economic provisions because he is held to be a staunch nationalist. Indeed, when I interviewed Sonny Melencio earlier this year for my current book project (the third and final volume of a history of the Philippine left; the first volume was published by UP Press in 2007 as Forcing the Pace, while the second, A Movement Divided, will be issued by the same publisher very shortly), he recalled how, when he had visited Trillanes in detention, the latter had expressed opposition to socialism on the grounds that it was “foreign.” So too, Melencio pointed out, is nationalism, meaning that some ideologies, although originated in specific geographical/historical circumstances, can have universal application. Armstrong relives historic moon landing FEATURE 08/30/2011 Armstrong relives historic moon landing SYDNEY — It’s more than 40 years since Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, but his memories of the historic flight remain as undimmed as his passion for further exploration of space. The Apollo 11 commander, now aged 81, relived the 1969 mission that enthralled the world as he watched Google’s new high-definition images of the moon in Australia last week. The pictures, available on YouTube since May but which Armstrong said he had only just seen, show Apollo 11’s landing spot, including the fuel cell left behind which it also used as a launch pad. “So for the sceptics about whether we ever landed on the moon — this is a pretty good indication that somebody’s done it,” he quipped to a business audience that had paid hundreds of dollars to hear him speak..... MORE PPP: Once again — with feeling VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 08/30/2011 PPP: Once again — with feeling There was this recent disappearing act of no less than the President of the Republic: It was called a “visit.” It was done “abroad.” It was held “secret” in nature and objective. Thus it came to pass that there was a time when the country had a President who could be then rightfully considered “missing” by the People of the Philippines — until the rare phenomenon was eventually brought to their attention. The cat is out of the bag. The issue is big. The implication is profound. Briefly said, true or false, the distinct occasion brought to fore a distinct concern about the distinct matter of a “substate” in Mindanao — or something the like. The reactions were serious and immediate. Those indirectly concerned registered their reservations. Those directly concerned came up with their own convictions. Thus came to pass the huge and shrieking headline of a well-known national daily echoing the choice occasioned by the said “visit.” In other words, some kind of an alternative was given to the Malacañang occupant: “Popularity or Peace.” Translation: Disregard the establishment of the “substate” and remain “popular.” See to it the “substate” becomes a reality and “peace” would be the fruit thereof..... MORE Kato rattles saber as MILF queries gov’t offer for peace By Mario J. Mallari 08/30/2011 Kato rattles saber as MILF queries gov’t offer for peace A supposed renegade member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Ameril Umbra Kato vowed yesterday to destroy peace efforts between the government and the secessionist group as the main MILF negotiators questioned the government’s offered formula of a “Bangsamoro Commission” in its proposed draft peace agreement, claiming such does not provide real autonomy to the Moro people. Surrounded by a small band of ragtag but ruthless followers, hardline Muslim rebel commander Kato vowed to destroy the latest peace efforts. Decades of fighting have neither wearied nor diluted the resolve of the Saudi Arabian-educated guerrilla, and he warns he remains willing to kill and die in his quest to achieve an independent Muslim homeland in the resource-rich Mindanao. Jun Mantawil, head of the MILF peace panel secretariat, meanwhile, said the government of the Philippines’ (GPH) proposed draft agreement was not meant to allow Bangsamoro people self-determination being pursued by the MILF.....

In pre-recorded interview over Radio Mindanao Network, Aquino disclosed that he had fired Alvarez and had found a replacement for him without giving a name, bolstering lingering speculations the President’s action has long been a done deal although he tried very hard to deny it. Aquino’s announcement came a day before his scheduled five-day state visit to the People’s Republic of China. Alvarez, meanwhile, said he will start packing his bag after Aquino confirmed his dimissal..... MORE Saudi Arabia extends ‘Royal Amnesty’ to overstaying Filipinos 08/30/2011 Saudi Arabia extends ‘Royal Amnesty’ to overstaying Filipinos Filipinos who are overstaying after performing “Umrah,” a form of pilgrimage, are given until Sept. 14 to leave Saudi Arabia, the largest Islamic state in the Middle East and where the two Holy Mosques are located, without being penalized, according to a Filipino migrants right group. Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona said last April 27 the Saudi Ministry of Interior announced that a Royal amnesty was granted to expatriates who have violated residency rules and overstayed as reflected on their ‘umrah’ visas on Sept. 22, 2010 for a period of six months or up to March 23, 2011. This has been extended up to Sept. 14, 2011. “Filipinos who were overstaying after performing ‘Umrah’ have barely 15 days to avail themselves of the Royal pardon. They could leave Saudi Arabia without any corresponding penalty, monetary and weeks of detention at the deportation center till Sept. 14,” Monterona added. Monterona said overstaying Filipinos can directly proceed to any Saudi international airports and will only be required by Saudi immigration authorities to present his or her passport along with the expired ‘umrah’ visa and airplane ticket..... MORE Bill seeking to video-tape all gov’t transactions filed By Angie M. Rosales 08/30/2011 Bill seeking to video-tape all gov’t transactions filed A proposition has been laid down in the Senate where government procurement transactions are being required to be video-taped, in the hope of preventing and discouraging corruption. Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV proposed to make mandatory the video recording of all the meetings and proceedings starting from the level of the bids and awards committee (BAC) to ensure transparency and honesty in the execution of government policies. Five years since the enactment of the Government Procurement Reform Act or Republic Act 9184 is still plagued with collusion, abuse of discretionary criteria, malfeasance, misfeasance, and other forms of corruption, the senator noted. “It is high time that we use video recording in all the procurement transactions of the government to prevent corruption issues like the anomalous purchase of helicopters by the PNP (Philippine National Police) officials,” Trillanes said.....

Despite recent rules allowing electronic evidence and other advances in paperless documentation, the bulk of pleadings before the courts are still paper-based copies sometimes requiring up to 11 copies of a single pleading. The Philippine Postal Corp. (Philpost) is now asking the high court to share in the cost of transporting the franked mail by air..... MORE Multinational firms behind push for RH bill — solon 08/30/2011 Multinational firms behind push for RH bill — solon Multinational companies manufacturing condoms and other contraceptives are behind the push for the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) bill, a lawmaker from Manila said yesterday. According to Manila Rep. Amado Bagatsing, the multinational companies, mostly American pharmaceutical firms, are expected to earn some P200 million every day from the sale of contraceptives in the country. “Hindi naman ang RH ang isyu dito eh. Gusto lang kumita ang mga Kano kaya sila ang nasa likod niyan,” Bagatsing said. Bagatsing, a member of a congressional bloc opposing the bill, said the Philippine government is being dictated upon by the United States through the Millennium Development Goals. He added the Philippines has nothing to gain from the bill, except to buy and give out condoms and other contraceptives..... MORE Evil ‘Transformers’ DIE HARD III Herman Tiu Laurel 08/29/2011 Evil ‘Transformers’ No, it’s not the sci-fi action flick we are writing about. It’s about the real “Transformers” in our world — those giant, steel-hearted, mechanical monsters roaming the boardrooms of power companies that “transform” public utilities into humongous profit machines. It’s about power companies that transform the public’s need for electricity into an unimaginable nightmare for millions of Filipino consumers. Once the Lopez Group, the Philippine Electric Corp. (Philec) and the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) are both seen in this light. One supplies actual power transformers and related equipment to the other at what many consider as massive transfer prices of up to 500 percent or more. Our source, who will only testify in public once Congress musters the courage to conduct an honest-to-goodness investigation, claims to have the goods on this. For a time, as Meralco transitioned from the old guard to the new, sanguine hopes about the eventual dissolution of the tight embrace between the two said companies were raised. It was even claimed that power prices will be brought down since that kind of a set-up will end with the change in management. It has been pointed out by industry watchers that these so-called “sweetheart deals” form a major component of Meralco’s capital base submission to the state regulatory body, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), upon which the past 12-percent Return-on-Rate Base (RoRB) and the current 15.8-percent Performance Based Regulation (PBR) rate setting schemes are computed. If the supplies and equipment — from transformers, electric poles, to project costs of installations such as substations or plants — are overpriced by exponential percentages, then so are our electricity rates. The source of this news has, in fact, gone directly to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of Philec which price power transformers for each mega volt-ampere (MVA), similar to horsepower in engines. In the Taiwan OEM plant visited by our informant for the purpose of getting the real bottom price, for instance, a quote of P250,000/MVA was given — far less than the P600,000/MVA reported in the Philippines, even if the usual discounts of 30 and 15 percent given to buyers, including most Philippine electric cooperatives, were to be deducted. Further, if a high-end Japanese brand is preferred, which the Taiwanese plant also officially produces, then a simple expedient of tacking on the Japanese brand’s steel plate for it to be priced higher is resorted to. Is this what Meralco does? In claiming the need for a top-of-the-line variant, it uses the Japanese name plate to increase the quote as well as its capital base with the ERC — which the regulating agency unfortunately approves without as much as a whimper — to the tune of P1,600,000/MVA! When the Lopez Group sold control of Meralco, there was indeed that opportunity to cut the monopolistic relationship between the two inextricably linked power firms, with hopes that rates will go down in spite of the already escalating bent of the onerous PBR. But nothing has changed. Filings made for the power distributor’s capital expenditures continue to be based on vastly overpriced claims; hence, its 80 to 90 percent yearly profit increases. Fortunately, power consumers all over the country have begun to understand more comprehensively the massive swindle that is the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira), or the post-Edsa II power privatization law that has spawned many “monsters:” From the ERC that is believed to be captured by Meralco; to the state holding firm Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (Psalm) that is petitioning for consumers to shoulder the Universal Charge that will pay for $18 billion (still!) in National Power Corp. (Napocor) debts, which were promised to have been paid with privatization but never were; to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) that wants to raise rates to pay for damages caused by typhoons “Ondoy,” “Basyang,” etc., leaving its multi-billion insurance untouched; to the Philippine Electricity Market Corp. (Pemc) that wants to raise rates for “administrative modernization” (a euphemism for raising officers’ salaries); to its adjunct, the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (Wesm), which averages rates based on the highest (instead of the lowest) fluctuations, there are certainly more Epira monsters to discover — and decipher. What puzzles is that Congress, which is into every sort of investigation imaginable, has not touched on the festering and oppressive electricity scams being perpetrated right before our very eyes. It seems the likes of Rep. Henedina Abad and Sen. Serge Osmeña, who head their respective chamber’s energy committees, are oblivious to appearing as stooges of these power giants. Given this, will anyone else take the cudgels for the suffering Philippine economy, our industries, and our people? Or is everyone just too scared of the Philippines’ very own, steel-hearted, steel-fisted “Transformers”? The answer need not be more than meets the eye. (My new e-mail: mentong2011@gmail.com.

Instead of condemnation, the US post in the country considered the warming up of relations in both trade and political spheres as a natural consequence of the expanding influence of China in the region and the thrust of the US government then against terrorism which was perceived as incompatible to the country’s goals. The communication did not hide the fact about perceptions that most of the Chinese contracts with the government are tainted with corruption, but the overriding interest of the US was obviously how the dealings with China would impact on the traditional role of the Philippines as its closest ally in the region. The encompassing message from the leaked cable was that China is using its new found economic strength to buy off influence in the region and that the botched National Broadband Network (NBN) project awarded to Chinese supplier ZTE was one of such efforts..... MORE Opaque government budget FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/29/2011 Opaque government budget The rationale behind the scrapping of intelligence funds in many government departments, so claimed Budget Secretary Butch Abad, was that these were not involved in any intelligence gathering, which does sound logical. But it then must be asked why Noynoy has increased his intelligence funds by P200 million, bringing a total budget outlay for 2012 to some P600 million in intelligence funds for him alone, since the Office of the President certainly is far from being engaged in intelligence gathering. At the same time, the intel budget for the Nica (National Intelligence Coordinating Agency), which is an intelligence agency and presumably into intel gathering, was slashed. So was the military intelligence budget when the Armed Forces of the Philippines, at least through the Intelligence Service of the AFP or Isafp, is into intelligence gathering. What then is the justification of slashing the AFP intel budget, while increasing the Philippine National Police and related agencies’ intelligence budget? Even more glaring is the fact that while Noynoy had his intel budget increased by P200 million, it was reported that the Office of the Vice President’s intel budget was completely scrapped. Why then, if the Office of the President needs an additional P200 million for Noynoy’s intelligence funds, is the Budget secretary scrapping the intel funds of the Office of the Vice President?.... MORE DOTC Sec Mar Roxas backs MRT fare hikes, increasing penalties, PPPs Mar Roxas’ proposed budget slashed by 38-percent the government subsidy on MRT for 2012—from P6.9 billion ($162.7 million) to P4.29-billion ($101.15 million), despite reports of annual increases in passenger load. MANILA – Transportation secretary Mar Roxas is earning the ire of Filipino workers and people, said the progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) in a statement, as Roxas defended the privatization of the MRT and LRT and, according to KMU, also justified the hiring of strike-breakers in PAL (Philippine Air Lines). Privatizing the railways and subsidizing the profits of private contractors, like what is happening now, has been blamed by various peoples’ organizations as the reason behind the looming fare hikes in MRT and LRT. “We don’t think this is the best way to prepare for the next elections,” warned Elmer “Bong” Labog, chairman of progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), to Mar Roxas who is perceived as gearing up for the next presidential elections. Begrudging subsidies for mass transport In the budget deliberations in Congress, Roxas said that if the budget would be raised to increase the government’s subsidy per train passenger, then they (the DOTC) would not run out of funds for subsidies and so they would not have to consider “burden-sharing,” or increasing the MRT and LRT fares. Roxas and other DOTC officials at the budget hearing in Congress.(Photo by Marya Salamat / bulatlat.com) Roxas’ proposed budget slashed by 38-percent the government subsidy on MRT for 2012—from P6.9 billion ($162.7 million) to P4.29-billion ($101.15 million), despite reports of annual increases in passenger load. Asked by Anakpawis Partylist Rep. Rafael Mariano if the cut meant there would be fare hikes, Roxas replied that they will not be sourcing all the resulting budget shortfall on fare hikes alone. Roxas asked the Congress to “realign” the country’s tax-based spending because, he said, reminding the lawmakers that it was they who had pointed it out, “only the Metro Manila train riders have been enjoying a train ride that’s P55-subsidized per rider, when the rest of the country who are not in Metro Manila and not riding these trains have also been paying taxes.” Roxas said it is the taxpayers in other regions who are “losing” in the railways’ operations and not the government. Such imbalance in using public money was not invoked, however, for the rest of the DOTC’s proposed P26.5-billion ($625million) projects in 2012 to build or upgrade airports, ports and lighthouses. Many of which would facilitate the operations of foreign investments in its covered districts, said some lawmakers who asked Roxas to fast-track or improve the said projects. Roxas emphasized in the budget deliberation and in media interviews the need for “burden-sharing” between the government and the commuters in financing the operations of MRT and LRT....

C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 08/29/2011 Can America be trusted? The question being asked as P-Noy prepares for his five-day state visit to China tomorrow is not so much the possible outcome of this trip. It is clear that despite the heated exchanges over the Spratlys including the misplaced and insensitive issuances spewed out by administration officials on the Luneta hostage tragedy, the Chinese will ever be the gracious hosts they have always been known to be. I am sure they will do all they can to give P-Noy and his huge entourage (is it true some 200 businessmen will accompany him on this trip?) all the courtesies and perks befitting a head of state. Thanks to their solid understanding of historical ties, the Chinese will shower P-Noy with loads of bacon in terms of investments, trade, aid and tourism packages as well as directed people-to-people exchanges. But the test, the real question which will definitely hang over this visit, is whether P-Noy can summon the courage and the stamina to acknowledge that our country’s future will require balancing his decidedly pro-American tendencies with that of enhancing proper and responsible fraternal relations with China — our big neighbor and the world’s other emerging power. Which is precisely why in a previous column we noted that P-Noy and his advisers may be misreading the wave of the future by unduly hyping the Spratlys issue which is widely seen as a US induced “problem” while down playing if not totally ignoring the more immediate and, yes, solvable issues on hand such as those related to the Luneta fiasco. That is a No-No by any measure..... MORE De Castro, ex-subordinates not yet off the hook — solon By Angie M. Rosales 08/29/2011 FOR APPROVING GLOBE ASIATIQUE LOANS De Castro, ex-subordinates not yet off the hook — solon Former Vice President Noli de Castro and members of the board of Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), also known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, during his term are not yet off the hook regarding a P12-billion housing loan scam and could also be charged over the multibillion-peso anomaly as they were the ones who approved the loans that defrauded the government. Sen. Sergio Osmena III said the possibility of the former Vice President and Pag-IBIG officials being indicted along with Globe Asiatique Realty and Holdings Corp. executives is not remote considering the role they played in approving the release of the loans made by alleged fictitious borrowers. Last Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DoJ) recommended the filing of syndicated estafa charges against officials of Globe Asiatique led by Delfin Lee, its president and chief operating officer, and four others in connection with loans granted to it by HDMF through “special buyers” and “ghost borrowers.”.... MORE ‘Mina’ death toll rises to 8; over 100K people affected 08/29/2011 ‘Mina’ death toll rises to 8; over 100K people affected Super typhoon “Mina” killed at least eight persons and left flattened bridges and blocked roads in its wake as it moved away from the Philippines and churned toward Taiwan, officials yesterday said. The toll of dead and missing is likely to rise as officials assess the full impact of the storm, the strongest to hit the country this year, Emilia Tadeo of the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) damage report section said. “After the rains have subsided, that is only when we find the additional casualties and damage, when the local responders submit them to us,” Tadeo told Agence France Presse. Five were killed by landslides, including two children, buried by an avalanche of rubbish at a tip in the northern mountain city of Baguio, the OCD said..... MORE MILF to push Bangsamoro bid despite deadlock By Mario J. Mallari 08/29/2011 MILF to push Bangsamoro bid despite deadlock Despite the “deadlock” in the peace negotiation with the government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP), the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) would still push with its proposed establishment of Bangsamoro substate to address the decades-long Mindanao conflict. MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said that the government’s counter proposal was way behind the MILF expectations, citing previous agreements by the peace panels, including the “reframing” of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) which was junked as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2008. The MILF negotiator stressed that he does not know if the government could reconsider its proposal “but the MILF would push through with our proposal.” Iqbal, however, admitted being “frustrated” by the GRP’s counter proposal which meant that the long years of negotiations went back to scratch..... MORE House panel approves P1.816-T budget for 2012 By Gerry Baldo 08/29/2011 House panel approves P1.816-T budget for 2012 The House committee on appropriations has approved the P1.816-trillion proposed national budget next year and is expected to deliberate on the measure in plenary on Sept. 6. According to Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya, chairman of the panel, the House is right on track in the budget deliberations even the 2012 budget would be ready for signing by the President before the year ends. “We passed the committee report last Friday. We will sponsor the general appropriations bill in the plenary on Sept. 6,” Abaya said yesterday. Abaya added the proposed budget, which was approved by his committee, was no different from what Malacañang had proposed and that it included the controversial P39.4 billion allotment for the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)’s conditional cash transfer..... MORE DepEd announces NCAE moved to Sept. 28 By Jason Faustino 08/29/2011 DepEd announces NCAE moved to Sept. 28 The Department of Education (DepEd) announced over the weekend it had moved the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) from August 31 to September 28. Changes will also be made as Education Secretary Armin Luistro said the NCAE will now be administered for third-year high school students both in public and private secondary schools. “We deem it better to administer the NCAE to third year high school students to give them sufficient time for comprehensive career guidance before they enter the tertiary level,” Luistro said. Also expected to take the NCAE are fourth year high school students applying for scholarship programs of the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda).Under DepEd Order No. 28, fourth-year students who will take the NCAE for Ched and Tesda scholarship should belong to the top 10 percent of each secondary high school regardless of school size..... MORE Solons want blood donors strictly monitored By Gerry Baldo 08/29/2011 Solons want blood donors strictly monitored Members of the House of Representatives yesterday urged the Department of Health (DoH) to strictly monitor its blood donation program in the light of reports that some donations may have been tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV-AIDS). Citizens Battle Against Corruption party-list Rep. Sherwin Tugna stressed the DoH must strictly monitor blood donation in the country so as not to jeopardize the lives of so many people and stop the spread of the virus. “We have to closely look at blood donation scheme in the country because the possibility of serious HIV spread is always there, especially if the system is left unchecked,” Tugna said. Tugna also stressed the need for the other concerned government and private agencies to intensify the information drive on the fight against the spread of HIV-AIDS..... MORE Grand Old Lady of Katipunan’s remains to be transferred to her birth place By Arlie O. Calalo 08/29/2011 Grand Old Lady of Katipunan’s remains to be transferred to her birth place Exhumation of the remains of the Grand Old Lady of the Katipunan, Melchora Aquino, from Himlayang Pilipino for transfer to the Tandang Sora Shrine now has a good chance of gaining congressional approval after the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) backed Quezon City’s claims to have the remains transferred to the heroine’s birth place on Banlat Road in Tandang Sora. The non-inclusion of Himlayang Pilipino in the list of NHCP’s national historical shrines and the failure of the memorial park’s administration to provide the city government with valid documents supporting claims that Tandang Sora should remain buried there, have bolstered QC’s interest to pursue the transfer of the heroine’s remains which has long been requested by her family. Tandang Sora’s remains were transferred to Himlayang Pilipino in 1970. “QC is not giving up its claims to exhume Tandang Sora’s remains. Nothing will be more timely and fitting than to have her rightfully buried in her original birthplace during the commemoration of her bicentennial year on Jan. 6, 2012,” said Mayor Herbert Bautista during a meeting with members of the QC Task Force Tandang Sora..... MORE A taste of Philippine justice EDITORIAL 08/28/2011 A taste of Philippine justice Libel cases are usual fares for newspapers for solely doing its bare function of writing stories as they are. The daily grind is to gather stories up to deadline hour and then write these faithfully the way an event happened or that of the story related to the reporter. The Tribune is a magnet for libel cases since it never wavered on printing stories as they are, no embellishment, no fear, no favor. One of the more influential names in the country recently became the subject of a story printed in The Tribune merely quoting the content of government documents recommending his arrest and the complaint of the individual that sought a legal remedy on him that law enforcers were not acting to implement an order for his detention. The result was one libel case filed in multiple courts that was clearly intended to harass the newspaper’s editors. Of the eight or so different court venues for the libel case about five were dismissed owing to grounds having to do with no-jurisdiction as well as multiplicity of suits, which would be no different from multiple forum shopping..... MORE A slap on their faces FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/28/2011 A slap on their faces A kind of a message seems to have been sent by the Court of Appeals (CA) to the Senate, as well as to the House of Representatives when it granted the habeas corpus plea of petitioner, Rollie del Rosario, husband of then detained former LTA Inc. bookkeeper, Rowena del Rosario, a day after the Senate freed her from detention. The CA could have easily dropped the habeas plea, since the detention issue was already moot, but the court didn’t. Instead, the court granted the habeas plea, which gives the impression that this grant was a message for any future abusive action on the Senate’s power to immediately order the arrest and detention of any invited guest as resource person, or “witness” merely because that resource person fails to give the answers senators want to hear, which answer senators wanted would prove their “case” against whoever they accuse of whatever crime.....

Africa’s private reserves TOUWS RIVER — The giant rhino slumps to the ground with haunting cries as it fights for its life, a bloodied, fleshy pulp in the place where poachers sawed off its horn. The critically injured male is one of the latest victims in South Africa’s rhino bloodbath, which is surging on privately owned reserves as criminal syndicates target easier prey for the Asian black market. “I’m at war,” exhausted owner Searl Derman told AFP before heading out again with a veterinarian to try to treat the highly stressed animal. It’s an expensive battle: Derman has racked up bills for tracking helicopters, vets and 24-hour anti-poaching measures, but is competing with hunters who are chasing horns that fetch half-a-million dollars a kilo..... MORE Another big-time BoC scam; billions lost N.O . N.O.N.S.E.N.S.E Jacinto 08/28/2011 Another big-time BoC scam; billions lost N.O . N.O.N.S.E.N.S.E More than 2,000 containers disappeared on its way to the Port of Batangas, with government losing billions in forgone revenues, we had written earlier. But there is again talk that another 1,470 containers have again been diverted from MICP to fake warehouses with government losing several more billions. How can this happen right under the very noses of the Commissioner of Customs and his officials? How could they release these 1,470 container vans filled with resins with an estimated value per container of P3 million without paying a single centavo as tax and duty to the government? It is mind boggling how Customs officials can conspire to perpetrate this very big scam. The scam allgedly occurred when 1,470 container vans loaded with resins were transferred to the Port of Manila from MICP but were diverted by the consignee in connivance with Customs officials to fake and fictitious bonded warehouses instead of arriving at the port of destination which is the Port of Manila. The 1,470 containers loaded with valuable and highly dutiable goods were allegedly all consigned to only one company, Xurich Corp., which must be filthy rich to import an estimated P5 billion worth of resins. Can you believe that this Xurich Corp. is allegedly a fake one, and yet the BoC headed by Angelito Alvarez was able to accredit the said corporation as an Industry-Specific Bonded Warehouse (ICBW) despite the absence of a mayor’s and business permit being submitted to the BoC. Talk is that the address presented to the BoC which is Unit 206 Joncor Bldg. at 1362 A. Mabini St. Ermita, Manila, turned out to be fictitious as the existing occupant of the said address is a travel agency and not a bonded warehouse, which was what Xurich claimed. It’s non-existence at Joncor building was certified by the building administrator stating that no Xurich Corp. ever occupied any room in the building in the last 15 years. Who could be behind this Xurich as its capitalist?.... MORE ‘WOW Philippines’ JUST remembering VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 08/28/2011 ‘WOW Philippines’ JUST remembering Just asking So brief but many intriguing possibilities it said. So plain but pleasant thoughts it evoked. So plain but big wonders it caused. This was the combined precious and loaded message that “Wow Philippines!” very well delivered and so long remembered. Foreign tourist came. Foreign income increased. And everybody was happy: The tourists themselves. The Tourist Agencies and Organizations. The Tourist Industry in general. The Tourist guides and many others, included. A new administration came. A new tourism leadership emerged. A new tourism come-on was invented. The former proverb “Wow Philippines!” was nonchalantly shelved. A supposedly new and better tourism slogan was invented: “Pilipinas Kay Ganda” — or something the like. Certain perplexing questions came to fore: Was the invention in effect inspired by foreign consultants? Did the invention simply copy some tourism figures from this or that country? Is it true that so much expenses were incurred from the making to the launching of the invention?.... MORE Pleasure of Noy, displeasure of the people TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 08/28/2011 Pleasure of Noy, displeasure of the people The most recent victim of the rumored internal great divide in Malacañang is Land Transportation Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) official Nelson Laluces. Rumor mills are rife over a Laluces fiasco involving the approval of the sale and transfer of franchise of BLTB Co. (a bus company) to Del Monte Bus Co. owned by Narciso Morales, who was said to be a distant relative of Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa. Recently, from his hot seat, Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim also bailed out and tendered his resignation over rumors of under-performance, since it has been a year now and it seems that he is still groping in the dark over his post. He started off with the infamous tourism campaign Pilipinas Kay Ganda. And in one presidential spur of the fast tongue P-Noy lashed out on him as one of those secretaries who regularly brings him “headaches.” A little far back, a bejeweled “Cory original,” former Transportation and Communications Secretary Jose Ping de Jesus resigned over the rumored telecommunications row between Globe and Smart and amid the DoTC’s deliberations on whether to raise the fares of the Light and Metro Rail Transit (LRT/MRT) systems. Retired General Ernesto Diokno of the Bureau of Corrections, also a certified Cory general came next over a rumored coddling of convicted murderer, former Batangas Gov. Antonio Leviste..... MORE Wikileaks: Power dynasties at work in Meralco battle 08/28/2011 ARROYOS, ABOITIZES VS LOPEZES Wikileaks: Power dynasties at work in Meralco battle The United States subscribed to the view that dynastic families that included the Arroyos, the Aboitizes and the Lopezes, waging a protracted war against each other was behind the bitter board room struggle between the Lopez family and the state pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) for control of dominant electricity distributor Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) toward the end of the previous administration of President Gloria Arroyo, leaked cables from the US Embassy showed. The cable which was among some 3,071 communications of the US diplomatic post in Manila released the other day by whistle-blower site Wikileaks said “the conflict, which some analysts see as a feud between the Arroyo and Lopez families, has eroded the appearance of stability that Philippine economic managers want to project, and may give foreign investors qualms about the Philippine power sector.” The US Embassy viewed the struggle for control of Meralco as highlighting the role of prominent families in business and government and creates uncertainty that could damage efforts to attract investors. “Lack of additional investment into the power sector will almost certainly leave Filipino consumers more vulnerable to power disruptions,” it noted..... MORE RP gov’t hesitates on recognizing Libyan rebels 08/28/2011 RP gov’t hesitates on recognizing Libyan rebels Malacañang yesterday said it was hesitant about recognizing Libya’s rebels, with the welfare of some 1,600 Filipino workers in the north African country still its foremost concern. Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the government was monitoring the situation in Libya as the regime of longtime leader Moammar Kadhafi collapses in the wake of a series of rebel victories. “What is important for us in the Philippines is the protection of our own Filipino workers. That is our primary consideration now (over) whether or not to recognize Libya’s (National Transitional Council, or NTC),” he told reporters. On Wednesday, the Libyan Embassy in the Philippines defected to the rebels’ side, raising the red, black and green flag of the anti-Kadhafi forces.....

Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said August 29 is a regular holiday by virtue of Proclamation No. 84 that President Aquino issued on Dec. 20, 2010, while August 30 is also regular holiday by virtue of Proclamation No. 234 in celebration of the Eid’l Fitr. “The purpose of the celebration of National Heroes Day is to accord fullest honors to the greatness, first of all, of our heroes who offered their sweat, blood, and lives so we may attain our freedoms, and second, to the resiliency of ordinary Filipinos who continue to love their country and endeavor to live honorable lives that honor our heroes and our countrymen,” the labor chief said. “On the other hand, we share our brothers and sisters, the Muslim Filipinos, in their celebration of Eid’l Fitr, or the Feast of Ramadhan, which falls on August 30,” Baldoz said..... MORE Climate change mitigation will benefit farmers, regenerate environment, says Angara By Charlie V. Manalo 08/28/2011 Climate change mitigation will benefit farmers, regenerate environment, says Angara The government, in cooperation with the global community, must come up with a long-term blueprint for programs that would mitigate the impact of climate change on man and the environment, Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara said yesterday. “Disasters like floods, droughts, forest fires and the increase in tropical cyclone have caused too much lives and material losses amounting to billions of pesos,” Angara said, adding in pursuing carbon finance in the forestry sector, the role of government cannot be underestimated. Referring to a document by the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department (CPBRD), Angara strongly endorsed that the Philippines seriously consider mitigating climate change through the so-called “carbon sequestration” which refers to the capture and storage of carbon. Plants, especially trees or forests, are effective natural means (by photosynthesis) of converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using sunlight..... MORE ‘Koko’ prods Comelec lawyer to follow example of Zubiri By Angie M. Rosales ‘Koko’ prods Comelec lawyer to follow example of Zubiri “Do a Zubiri!” This was the call made by Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III yesterday to a lawyer at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) who was appointed as law department chief despite his being dragged in the P700-million ballot secrecy folder scam last year. Pimentel urged lawyer Allen Francis Abaya to turn down the appointment and spare the poll body from further condemnation even as he bared plans of filing a resolution in the upper chamber to probe his reported “re-appointment” after having been suspended for six months. Abaya, along with six other Comelec officials, was meted the suspension for approving the alleged highly overpriced ballot folders that were supposed to be used during the May 10, 2010 presidential elections. “As a victim of electoral fraud myself, I am extremely wary of election officials whose record has been tainted in any way by involvement in election irregularities,” the senator said..... MORE No lifting of HK black ban EDITORIAL 08/27/2011 No lifting of HK black ban Noynoy refuses to apologize to the Hong Kong hostage victims and relatives of the slain tourists, because he insists that the “Manila massacre” that occurred on Aug. 23, 2010 was the work of one deranged individual, and that the state, not being responsible for the slaughter, has no need to apologize. At the same time, however, Noynoy, through his spokesman, said he wants Hong Kong’s travel blacklist on the Philippines lifted, as he called this unfair, especially since his administration has already made improvements in securing tourists. Evidently, to this day, Noynoy and his boys fail to realize just what added damage they have inflicted on the country’s tourism through that botched hostage rescue operation, made even more damaging with his rejection of an apology to the victims and their relatives, as Noynoy refuses to accept responsibility and accountability for the Manila massacre. But he forgets that days or weeks after the botched rescue operations, with public and Hong Kong pressure mounting, Noynoy did say, and on record, that he was responsible for the botched rescue. He did say something to the effect that “at the end of the day,” he was responsible for it. And that is on record.... MORE Too good to be true FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/27/2011 Something just doesn’t smell right in what the Moro Islamic Liberation Front leaders are saying with regard to the rebel group’s placid rejection of the Noynoy government peace panel proposal, which cancelled out any move to create a substate that the MILF is demanding from Noynoy. The group even went to the extent of saying that there is hope as long as the peace talks continue, as well as claiming that the MILF’s rejection of the government’s expanded autonomy offer won’t result in the same way the MILF reacted violently to the rejection of the Supreme Court of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD), where the group of Ameril Umbra Kato launched several bloody attacks in areas populated by both Moros and Christians. A report said that despite the MILF’s rejection of the government proposal in the peace negotiation, the MILF leadership does not see a repeat of the 2008 massive atrocities in Central Mindanao which killed hundreds of civilians triggered by the SC’s declaration of the MoA-AD as unconstitutional. MILF spokesman Von Al Haq stressed the MILF leadership has not monitored any disgruntled group within the organization except for the group of renegade commander Ameril Umbra Kato, who was declared “bughaat” or rebel by the MILF Central Committee..... MORE India’s Anna Hazare: ‘Gandhi Lite?’ focus 08/27/2011 India’s Anna Hazare: ‘Gandhi Lite?’ NEW DELHI — He may dress, talk and fast like his hero Mahatma Gandhi, but critics say anti-graft activist Anna Hazare has only managed to co-opt the style, not the substance, of India’s independence icon. The figure of Gandhi looms large — and literally — over Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign, with a giant photograph of the apostle of non-violence providing the backdrop to the 74-year-old’s public hunger strike. Hazare’s speeches are peppered with Gandhian references to a “second freedom struggle” and his own diminutive, bespectacled appearance, and preference for simple white clothing, all serve to reinforce the link in the public mind. If the effort to embrace Gandhi’s legacy is sincere, it is also conscious and calculated, and observers say it has paid dividends by tapping into a national yearning for an inspirational leader..... MORE 17-year old girl accuses priest of rape -17-year old girl accuses priest of rape “I was so afraid and confused. He is a priest; I attended mass and received communion from him. After that first time I saw that he was not at all what he showed the world to be,” she said. She believed him to a be a man of God, but he turned out to be the one who would abuse and torment her. Seventeen-year old “Leah” is currently under the protection and custody of women’s group Gabriela as she and her family begin their fight for justice against what has been done to her by a priest in Tubay, Butuan City. The 17-year old girl is accusing 47-year old priest Fr. Raul Cabonce of repeatedly sexually abusing and raping her while she was under his care in his parochial residence in Butuan. Leah was one of Cabonce’s two wards. She began staying in the priest’s official residence after he made an offer to Leah and her family that he would help send her to school. A mutual acquaintance and Leah’s neighbor facilitated Leah’s transfer to the priest’s parish. In a detailed affidavit, Lead described in full and incriminating detail how the priest began to show interest in her and how the interest escalated to sexual abuse and rape. According to Leah. Cabonce first abused her on September 2010. Seventeen-year old “Leah” wants her abuser and rapistpunished so “He won’t do what he did to me to other children, other women.” (Photo by Ina Alleco Silverio / Bulatlat.com) “I was cooking dinner when he walked up close to me and began touching me. I was shocked and very alarmed when he began touching my breasts and waist,” she said. It was not the first time that Leah saw the priest conducting himself in such a way. “I had previously seen him touching Rachel (not her real name); and when seated he would pull Rachel to his lap and touch her just about everywhere. I felt very uncomfortable and ill whenever I saw him do that to her, but I was afraid to say anything.” When she brought it up with Rachel, the 20-year old told her that “it didn’t matter.” She told Leah that she and her family were very indebted to the priest for all the help he had given them since Rachel was a fifth grade student. Leah said she first believed that what Cabonce did to her did not really mean anything and so she resolved to put it out of her mind. Her hopes that it would not be repeated were immediately put to an end by February 27, 2011 when Cabonce made further advances. On that date, Cabonce made Leah give him a massage and ,in the process, forced her to have oral sex. The minor was almost paralyzed with fear especially after the priest allegedly threatened to kill her and her family if she said anything to anyone about what happened. The priest reportedly owns three guns — two of them short arms, and Leah has seen all of them. Leah also found out that the priest has a girlfriend, supposedly an older girl who attended college also in Butuan. She often saw the girl in the convent and she stayed with the priest in the parish house. “There was also a time when I was able to read the sent box of her cellphone and I saw also Fr. Cabonce’s messages to her. It was obvious from the messages that they have a relationship,”she said. Leah and Rachel by then had practically ceased to have contact with the outside world. Whenever Cabonce was in the parish, he ordered them to stay indoors and not communicate with anyone, not even through their cellphones.....

The Clue Mysteries game-themed box calls for all kid detectives to solve the Clues surrounding Miss Scarlet's stolen script and record them on the Detective's Notebook on the front of the box to identify the suspect by elimination in the same fashion as Clue Mysteries (and the game Guess Who). The premise is that after Miss Scarlet's debut performance, her script is stolen by one of the guests she's invited to watch the show. Somehow she's narrowed down the suspects to: Mrs. Peacock, Rusty Nayler, Professor Plum and Miss Peach. By identifying the following Clues, the diner/detective can point his or her greasy finger at the suspect: Face (Glasses, Smile, Earrings, Mole), Hair (Red, Gray, Black, Blond), Head (No Hat, Hat), Gender (Man, Woman), Location (Fair, Flower Cart, Bus, Parade). The inner box lid provides the two most visual Clues. The first, Curtain Call, is a fill-in-the-missing-letter challenge. By reading a page of the script (which, by the way was supposed to be stolen), the detective can fill in the missing letters, and identify a face clue. Miss Scarlet's reputation in later games as a B-Actress must stem from material such as this: Act 1, Scene 1: (Hero enters stage left) Nicholas: Why, Lindsey. don't you look lovely? Lindsey: Thank you, Nicholas, but I cannot go on our picnic this afternoon. My heart belongs to another man. Nicholas: Oh, Lindsey. Don't break my heart. See? I brought you flowers! Lindsey: Oh, Nicholas. They're lovely, but Archie needs me. Nicholas: Archie? Lindsey: Yes, Archie. (Archie gallops in on all fours) Archie: Arf! Arf! In Seat Search (perhaps the most difficult puzzle), a Hair clue can be obtained by locating the correct seat on the seating chart using the ticket stub locations which will reveal a letter. Six letters later, you've got your answer. For the slow children who couldn't identify the suspect through the first two clues, one can obtain two more clues from the inside of the box. In Red Carpet Roll Out, the detective must, yet again, unscramble theatre related words to receive a head clue. On the right side is Mic Maze. By following the tangled cords, one will get a Gender clue. Unfortunately, the cord that doesn't meet an end is only about an inch long, so it's fairly simple to figure out which cord to follow. Unrelated to the mystery are three theatre/mystery visual puzzles in black and white beneath the food compartments. On one side panel is the Mirror Mirror mystery that provides the Location clue. Rather than worrying about her script, Miss Scarlet should be worried about which stalker is sneaking into her dressing room and leaving psycho messages scrawled on her mirror. Nonetheless, the puzzle is again beyond simple. One might have had to actually use a mirror if the writing weren't easy-to-read large block letters. A second side panel offers a couple jokes: What's it called when a chicken is up to no good? (Fowl play.) What do you call a suspicious chicken? (A cluck-spect.) What's BIG, ferocious and is all over the yard? (Dandelions.) The first two of these jokes fit somewhat nicely by mixing the chicken theme of KFC with the mystery theme of Clue. But the third joke seems too out of the blue. The third side panel reveals the solutions to the mysteries. Finally, the last panel of the box describes KFC's nobel efforts to provide a portion of Laptop Meal proceeds for scholarships. Overall, the the Colonel's (Sanders, that is) Laptop Meals are fun and do a pretty decent job furthering the Clue Mysteries game concept. Decency (certainly not quality writing) is taken too far on the box cover, however, when Miss Scarlet's dress has been altered to have a higher back panel. In the Clue game this box is based on, her dress is backless. KFC should stick to cooking chicken and leave our beloved suspects alone! www.TheArtofMurder.com	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3564

More often than not the restaurants that inhabit colonial era structures tend to serve food that almost seems as old — Yankee pot roast or boiled dinner or the like. So I was pleasantly surprised when I perused the menu at The Wilcox Tavern to see listed ingredients such as sriracha-chorizo butter, Narragansett Creamery ricotta and Japanese quinoa. Then I was further impressed when we walked into the gorgeously maintained nearly 300-year-old structure to see a list of “Local Suppliers” available, a list that included most of my favorite Rhode Island farms and producers such as Aquidneck Honey, Schartner Farms, Hopkins Southdowns and The Local Catch. We all know by now that it’s best to eat local, for a number of reasons. One of these is freshness, which translates to the diner as, “it tastes really good because it just came out of the ground or sea.” The Wilcox Tavern impressed me on several levels, not only in serving very good local ingredients in an exquisite space, but also in serving me one of the best Southern dishes I’ve had in Rhode Island. Yes, that’s right, a Southern dish — made right off of Route 1 in Charlestown, Rhode Island, not Charleston, South Carolina — but more on that later. First, let’s talk history. I wouldn’t usually focus this much on the past, but roll this date around in your head: 1730. The main house of The Wilcox Tavern was built in 1730. It was the birthplace of General Joseph Stanton, who was a member of the Colonial Congress as well as a Senator from Rhode Island to the First Constitutional Congress. After Stanton’s death, part of his estate passed to the Wilcox family who eventually turned the house into a tavern around 1850. So clearly this building has been steeped in Rhode Island history and the current owners, while adding modern amenities like a restaurant kitchen and a full bar, have maintained the historical look and feel. There are fireplaces in every room and an overall warm, inviting atmosphere. We started dinner with some local shellfish and a salad. The Roasted Oysters ($12) are farmed in nearby Rhode Island waters and are served with sriracha-chorizo butter, Hawaiian sea salt and a cilantro-lime marinade. They were a great starter. The oysters were just slightly roasted so they curled a little, but still had a little bite to them. The sea salt had a great minerality to it and the spiciness of the butter was cooled by the marinade. There was also a nice arugula salad on the plate. The Caesar Salad ($7) was definitely an attempt to serve the traditional Caesar flavors in a different way. It was made up of baby romaine, ciabatta croute, parmesan flan, Caesar dressing and a balsamic-honey reduction. It was a lot on the plate, but it did work and invoked a Caesar. The parmesan flan, while a bit rich and heavy, was excellent. For dinner we tried the Ricotta Gnudi ($13), Seafood Wilcox ($25) and Shrimp & Grits ($24). The Gnudi, cheese dumplings, were made from local Narragansett Creamery ricotta with baby arugula, herbed white wine pomodoro, lemon zest and pesto. They were fantastic. Narragansett Creamery ricotta is the best ricotta cheese I’ve ever had and it worked so well in these dumplings. They were perfectly formed and cooked, with just a bit of sear on them, but still holding their form. The sauce was light and complementary. Overall, a very well made dish, with a good price, and vegetarian to boot. The Seafood Wilcox was also sauced and put together very nicely. Made up of pappardelle pasta topped with local sea scallops, Gulf shrimp, Maine lobster meat and crab in an herb-infused San Marzano tomato fennel-broth and topped with lemon aioli, it was a sea- food lover’s dish. All the various seafoods were properly cooked and the sauce was again, very complementary. Clearly the chef at The Wilcox Tavern gave some great thought to these dishes, but for me the best was yet to come. I’ve eaten a lot of shrimp and grits. It’s a dish I make often too, and I’ve become leery of trying it outside of the South. But the menu listing at The Wilcox Tavern offered too much to pass up: jumbo Gulf shrimp, spices, tasso gravy, fresh milled grits, creamed chard. Very few places here make grits right, let alone use tasso properly or cream chard. So I tried it, and wow, was I happy I did. The grits were proper grits, not the too often not-cooked-down-enough stuff I’ve had around here. The tasso gravy was on point. There was that slight burn from the spice and just a little bit of smoke. The creamed chard almost reminded me of collards, just a tiny bit sweeter than you’d expect, but that worked very well with the tasso gravy. Needless to say the shrimp were well-prepared as well. The Wilcox Tavern offers a selection of desserts for $7 each. We tried the Chocolate Cake and New York Cheesecake, both of which were nice desserts to close a meal, but the stars of the dinner were definitely the savory courses. I look forward to returning as the local growing season progresses to see what their summer and fall menus offer, though it’s going to be hard for me not to revisit that Shrimp & Grits again.

__label__wiki	0.555701	0.555701	Thomas Dausgaard, conductor Beethoven: The Complete Orchestral Works, Vol. 6 About the Album – SIMAX Half ways in the series with Beethoven”s complete works for orchestra on CD, Dausgaard and his ardent Swedes are invited on quite an exquisite tour including Ravina, Mostly Mozart NY and BBC Proms this August. Vol. 6 in the series is ready now, with the Pastoral symphony and the three Leonore overtures. Audience and reviewers alike are amazed at the sonic experience of hearing the clarity of Beethoven”s music when played by a 38-piece orchestra. The revised edition by Jonathan Del Mar is the basis of the interpretations, and under Dausgaard”s baton explosive movement and absolute stillness alternate in those lightning changes so characteristic of Beethoven”s music. This series is a model example of what studies of performance practice can do for musicians using modern instruments. Symphony no. 6 and the three Leonore overtures The “Pastoral” is a result of Beethoven”s affection for nature. As such it is a part of a long tradition going back to the renaissance where the composer seeks to represent nature and his experience of it in his music. It is well know that Beethoven wrote four different overtures for his one opera, all written over a short period of time as the libretto and the opera as a whole changed and found it”s final shape. The first three are known as the Leonore overtures, the final we know as the Fidelio overture. When Felix Mendelssohn performed all four overtures together in a concert in Leipzig in 1840, his friend and colleague Robert Schumann was impressed. His comments on the revision of Leonore No.2 as Leonore No.3 are particularly interesting: ‘Here the artist can be distinctly overheard in his workshop. How he changed, how he discarded, ideas and instrumentation, how in neither can he free himself from the Florestan aria, how the first three bars of this aria are drawn through the entire composition, how he cannot give up the trumpet signal behind the scene, introduces it even more beautifully in the third overture than in the second, how he does not rest so that his work may reach the perfection we admire in the third. To observe and compare this belongs to the most interesting and the most educative experiences in which disciples of the art can indulge and use to their advantage.’ Symphony no. 6 in F Major 1. I. Allegro ma non troppo 10:53 2. II. Andante molto mosso 11:31 3. III. Allegro 4:58 4. IV. Allegro 3:57 5. V. Allegretto 9:25 Leonore overtures 1-3 6. Overture Lenore No. 1, Op. 138 8:44 7.

Hours would be spent taping and cataloguing these shows on cassettes accompanied by constant aerial tweaking. A chance discovery of a copy of MED (a basic tracker music program) meant that this boy’s life would now follow a different path. After many years locked away studying his craft, boyChild at last settled on his own sound. Described by others as beautiful and melancholic, it is electronic in its construction, but with an organic and human feel to it. With glitching electronic noises working alongside real piano, violin and cello part the result is a unique combination of cold and warm, sad and uplifting. The genre is hard to pin down, and this is deliberate. Influences (but not necessarily sound-a-likes) include modern classical/soundtrack artists such as Craig Armstrong, Philip Glass, Hans Zimmer, to electronic artists like Venetian Snares, The Flashbulb and of course The Prodigy, who were a large influence in boyChild’s formative years. A humble studio setup keeps things simple and allows ideas to form quickly and naturally. The technology comes second place to letting a story be told. Each musical project is based around a particular memory, often from childhood. Our newest member to the Three Sixty fold. His first release will be the single “Counting What Ifs,” featuring Soundmouse. Soundmouse Soundmouse, so called because of her sweet and soft, almost delicate vocal sound, has always been musical, playing piano from a very young age. Initially attracted to the technology and production side of music, singing wasn’t part of her master plan at first. But a chance meeting with a Bristol dubstep producer called Phaeleh quickly whisked her from obscurity into an emerging scene, suddenly finding her vocals on a Ministry of Sound Compilation and as an NME download of the week, amongst other things. Soundmouse’s intention with vocals is to convey emotion in the sound and tone, focusing on the delivery of words. The overall sound is soft with layers and harmonies to build intensity subtly, instead of the usual diva-like belters. Vocal influences include the Icelandic Emilliana Torrini and Bjork. Her musical influences vary quite a bit, usually combining her passion for folk and acoustic music with glitchy electronica. These include Nosaj Thing, Mum, Bibio, The Tiny and Nick Drake. As well as several collaborative projects as a singer, Soundmouse is also currently working on her debut E.P. encompassing elements of laptop folk and glitch, fused with delicate vocal melodies, and there is much more to come….

Well, for as long as I can remember my younger sister has called me boychild. I don’t know when it started, or why, but it seemed to stick and so it was the obvious choice for an alter ego. The idea of having this other character front my musical output appealed to me. I wanted something to hide behind ‘cos I’m shy. And when I stumbled across this designer who had these illustrations of the boy character it all just seemed to fit. I had been making music years ago, very different to what I make now, but then I stopped, for quite some time. Personal events led me to get inspired to do it again, and with a new and more focused direction. And this time I had a name and an identity.

Through exhibitions, books and articles, it also documents the ways this art was broadcast to new audiences, primarily in the U.S. The exhibition demonstrates how, in the 1920s and 1930s, Mexican art that was initially received as avant-garde gained mainstream acceptance. The exhibition highlights the important history of 20th-century art and how artists, museum curators, gallery owners, journalists and publishers in both countries instigated a cultural phenomenon by creating and promoting art that pioneered a synthesis of indigenous traditions and international aesthetics. The more than 200 items in the exhibition, drawn primarily from the Ransom Center’s collections, reveal the importance of the transnational networks of individuals and institutions that sought, championed and interpreted many great, often radically new, works of art. The materials include paintings, photographs, jewelry and decorative arts, as well as correspondence, periodicals and exhibition brochures. “’Mexico Modern’ provides a unique opportunity to showcase the Ransom Center’s remarkable collections to present a memorable cast of characters, whose connectedness is revealed not only through great works of art, but also via intimate media such as letters and snapshots,” notes guest curator Thomas Mellins. The popularity and prestige of Mexican art throughout the 1920s and 1930s was the direct result of a dynamic exchange between Mexico and the U.S., where New York, Chicago and Los Angeles served as epicenters of cultural activism. This Mexican moment encompassed artists such as painters Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jean Charlot; graphic designer and art historian Miguel Covarrubias; photographers Nickolas Muray, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston and Manuel Álvarez Bravo; and jewelry designer William Spratling. Their work was championed by journalist and writer Anita Brenner, curator René d’Harnoncourt and publishers Frances Toor and Alfred and Blanche Knopf, among others. These individuals, many of whom traveled back and forth between the two nations, collectively became an important part of the historical narrative. Accompanying the exhibition is the book “Mexico Modern,” which will be published by the Museum of the City of New York and the Ransom Center in conjunction with Hirmer. The book features essays from the curators and profiles of leading figures showcased in the exhibition, as well as an introductory essay by George F. Flaherty, assistant professor of Latin American and U.S. Latino art history at UT Austin. The “Mexico Modern” exhibition is on display from September 11 through January 1 in the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin. For more information, visit hrc.utexas.edu.

Universal Preschool.com » news » research.asp Universal Preschool Research Confused about the benefits or harm of Universal Preschool? Is it a silver bullet for education reform or a waste of money? Watch this 10-minute documentary... We've compiled research regarding the education of children ages three to five, inclusive of preschool, kindergarten and early education studies and put it all in one, easy-to-find place. In this section, Preschool Research is right at your fingertips! The 13 most evil U.S. government experiments on humans The U.S. Government has been caught conducting an insane amount of vile, inhumane, and grisly experiments on humans without their consent... and often without their knowledge. These are the thirteen most evil, creepy, disturbing cases of human-testing. Conspiracy theory nuts are known for being a little out there, but once you read the wild government experiment stories on this list, you'll be a believer too. Did the U.S. government really infect its own citizens with syphilis and not tell them? Sure did. Did other government agencies test nuclear weapons, resulting in radiation fallout on multiple innocent Pacific islands? Oh yes. And did top U.S. officials condone the research of corrupt doctors who were clearly torturing their research subjects? Click through the list below to find out. September 14, 2016 [More Results from naturalnews.com] HHS: Head Start Students Do Worse in Math Than Non-Head Start Students Children who were in the federal Head Start program do worse in math and have more problems with social interaction by the third grade than children who were not in the program, according to a large-scale study by the U.S. Department of HHS. The congressionally mandated study evaluated 4,667 elementary students. The main conclusion is that overall, the $8 billion Head Start program provides no measurable benefit for children by the time they reach the third grade compared to the sampling of children in similar economic circumstances who were not in the program, referred to as the "control group" in the study. "In summary, there were initial positive impacts from having access to Head Start, but by the end of 3rd grade there were very few impacts found for either cohort in any of the four domains of cognitive, social-emotional, health and parenting practices," the HHS study said. "The few impacts that were found did not show a clear pattern of favorable or unfavorable impact on children." by Fred Lucas February 27, 2013 [More Results from CNS News] In Texas schools, a picture's worth 1,000 calories A $2 million project being unveiled Wednesday in the lunchroom of a Texas elementary school will use high-tech cameras to photograph what foods children pile onto their trays - and later capture what they don't finish eating. Digital imaging analysis of the snapshots will then calculate how many calories each student scarfed down. Local health officials said the program, funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, is the first of its kind in a U.S. school, and will be so precise that the technology can identify a half-eaten pear left on a lunch tray. by Paul J. Weber May 12, 2011 [More Results from CNS News] Sugary Drinks Fattening Up Preschoolers Sweet drinks at snack time and before bed are widening preschoolers' waistlines, a new study shows. Canadian researchers found that 2- to 4-year-olds who regularly drank sugar-sweetened beverages such as soft drinks and fruit drinks between meals were more than twice as likely to be overweight at age 4 1/2, compared to kids who didn't drink these beverages. by Juhie Bhatia June 25, 2009 [More Results from ABC News] New report examines effects nationwide of preschool on kids' development While middle-class children benefit modestly from preschool, youngsters from poor families experience two times the gains in early language and mathematics learning, according to a new study of more than 14,000 kindergartners nationwide. The report - "The Influence of Preschool Centers on Children's Development Nationwide: How Much Is Too Much'" - also examined whether long hours in preschool centers lead to diminishing returns in children's early development. Most surprising, is that the social skills of white, middle-class children suffer- in terms of cooperation, sharing and engagement in classroom tasks - after attending preschool centers for more than six hours a day, compared to similar children who remain at home with a parent prior to starting school. by Kathleen Maclay November 1, 2005 [More Results from UC Berkeley News] Study: Preschool Kids Drive Flu Epidemics When the flu strikes, preschool kids may be the first age group affected, passing the flu on to other people, a new study shows. If so, vaccinating 3- and 4-year-olds against flu might help curb flu epidemics, write researchers in the American Journal of Epidemiology. by Miranda Hitti October 1, 2005 [More Results from FOX News] Stick to what works, researchers tell preschool advocates and policy makers As efforts accelerate to develop a universal preschool system, advocates and policy makers should focus dollars on blue-collar families, not hand preschools over to public schools. "The worthy cause of extending preschool to all families is gaining steam, money and big-name proponents," said Bruce Fuller, co-author of the report and UC Berkeley professor of education and public policy.

The CAF National Airbase, which is intended to become the Crown Jewel of the existing network of 60 facilities that are currently spread over 28 states, is the first step of a larger “Airbase Strategy” that will see the organization reorganize and establish several CAF Airbases at key locations around the country over the next decade, with sites selected to maximize the cultural and educational impact of the CAF’s activities. At each Airbase, the public attraction will house flying vintage military aircraft combined with interactive educational displays, entertaining activities and each will host an annual air show. Additionally, the CAF will look to partner with other leading innovative, historical, educational and entertainment based organizations to accomplish its mission. CAF President/CEO Stephan C. Brown stated: “The Commemorative Air Force’s mission is education – such that Americans will value and support the contributions of military aviation in assuring our nation’s freedom. But, in today’s environment, we have to find new ways to educate and break away from traditional and increasingly outdated methods. The CAF National Airbase will house and serve as a stage to share a rotating group of the most significant military aviation assets in history.” Brown further stated that the CAF has been restoring, maintaining and operating vintage warbirds for over 55 years and has amassed the world’s largest fleet of flying vintage military aircraft and that he expects that this National Airbase will become a premier destination for the host city chosen. The new flagship National Airbase facility will be a year-round aviation attraction, house CAF Staff and volunteers and host a large annual warbird air show/fly-in. By establishing a world-class aviation facility within a metropolitan area with a large population and a strong international tourism component, the CAF hopes to further it’s mission of educating both the domestic and international public on the history and importance of our country’s efforts to protect freedom through airpower. Sites under consideration for the National Airbase will need to meet minimum runway length and width requirements, as well as a population minimums, economic incentives and tourism potential. Once the location has been chosen and the new facility has been built, the CAF’s Board of Directors has made the decision to relocate its Headquarters’ personnel and operations there. The CAF has been headquartered in Midland, Texas since 1991 and the CAF has indicated that it will continue to maintain its strong presence there, including plans to improve the CAF Airpower Museum, upgrading it to a “CAF Airbase” status and assigning it additional airplanes and continuing to sponsor the annual Midland/Odessa CAF AIRSHO. Commemorative Air Force Gloster Meteor Flys to New Home at Jet Age Museum 25th Annual Salute to Veterans Air Show May 25-26 Columbia, MO Devan Beiswenger says: I think moving your HQ to Bullhead City, Arizona would be a good idea. It’s on the Colorado River with the casinos of Nevada right across the river, California close by as well. Bullhead City has a population of about 30,000 and the major metropolitan area of Las Vegas, Nevada is about 90 miles away. The airport is called Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport and would be perfect. It has has the Legends Over the Colorado visit here twice. The B-29 “Fifi” has landed here as well as the B-25 “Executive Sweet.” Please consider stationing here. Thomas Quirk says: I think it should be considered along with zmarch field! The south Florida would be a great place for the new CAF base. Hurricanes!!! No Way.. they do not want their collection wiped out by Hurricanes!!! Ross Sharp says: Wiped out by Hurricanes? Surely not……Tempests are FAR more potent!! 🙂 Jim Stevenson says: Dream on there Devan. Bullhead City is WAY too small and WAY to far from Vegas. Bill Johnson says: There seems to be a lot of Air Museums in Florida, that have survided many hurricanes.. Woody Peard says: Tell that to Kermit Weeks.His entire collection was destroyed by a Hurricane Ivan (?) in the 90s. His collection was FAR from destroyed (by Hurricane Andrew, in ’92). He relocated to Polk City, Florida (between Orlando and Tampa) which he calls “Orlampa.” (Yeah, Kermit is a bit strange, sometimes.) 😀 He ran his new site (Fantasy of Flight) for almost 19 years. Now, he’s rebuilding his facility AGAIN, to a new vision. It’s going to be awesome. If the CAF relocated to the Lakeland Linder Airport (right nearby), it would be AWESOME. Lakeland is already the home of the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In, second largest airshow in the US, after Oshkosh. It’s in the middle of “tourist country” (all the major central Florida attractions). It has excellent year-round weather. MacDill AFB, in nearby Tampa, also hosts AirFest, every year (budget permitting). It would be the perfect choice. WarbirdsNews says: The CAF has relocated to Dallas, over a year ago. The search is over. Lots of airports to pick from and a great pool of A&Ps that live in the South Florida area. Kermit Weeks was down here,then moved to Polk City FL. So there is a void here you could fill. George Cudabac says: Having visited one of the old CAF shows in South Texas, I remember how difficuit it was to get there…and the limited facilities and transportation in the area. I took my father in law there to be inducted into the CAF by Tennessee Ernie Ford and Lloyd Nolan. Wherever you choose, I would suggest that you remember the age of the veterans who might want to attend and the availability and proximity the location would be travel wise. One consideration might be the airport outside Nashville, in Smyrna, TN. It is close to the Nashville International Airport which is a major hub for Southwest, American and others. it is a huge tourist attraction city and is in driving distance on many major cities to the West, South, East, and North. It has all the amenities needed, and in place, to host such a museum and air show. Even “westerners might enjoy visiting Nashville. Not is mention a huge pool of popular entertainers to draw from…Not too hot, not too cold, not too dry, not too wet. And, last but not least….Nashville is very veteran friendly…. and adults over 50 love the place. Check it out……. jim burnett says: Smyrna, TN would be a great location… it’s a former AFB, is close to Nashville but not too close to the flight path for the Nashville Intnl. Airport (BNA). The CAF screwed up many years ago,by leaving Harlingen,Texas, the founding city. Seems everybody jumps on a good thing,and takes the free ride,sorta like our federal government,you see where that’s got them. Jorge, Harlingen is a tiny, tiny town about as far away from everything else in the U.S. as it could possibly get. No, the big screwup was putting the new HQ out in remote Midland/Odessa, TX. Hotel rooms scarce and expensive due to oil boom and tough to even drive there. New location absolutely has to be near a major metro area like Dallas, Houston or San Antonio. forget Texas OK California Aerospace industries have built many of the war birds past and present! march field is close into airports and is near orange and LA countries very well situated .San berdo is next door a new into airport being built at thgthge old Norton afb. The City of Harligen made the CAFs continuing presence there untenable. I think you should be fair in your considerations and look at old Airbase facilities that used to be Bases and just do a fly in to locations and use fair judging of each facility you visit . there are several bases that closed that could use some life put back in them Why not San Antonio? This was on the original list before the idiots voted to move to the MIDDLE OF F-N NOWHERE!!! WarbirdsUpdate says: To the best of my knowledge the CAF hasn’t made any announcements other than that Midland, TX would be an Airbase, but the CAF Arizona Wing has just changed their name on Facebook to “Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona (formerly the Arizona Wing)” so perhaps there’s doings that haven’t been announced, though I’d say that that might indicate that the Phoenix metro area is out of the running for the National Airbase, though it’s purely speculation on my part. https://www.facebook.com/pages/CAF-Airbase-Arizona/325577670879188 Col. Jim Gibson says: For the Nat’l .airbase maybe ,but for the first and dominate Airbase Arizona’s CAF at Falcon field holds that distinction Rear Admiral William Retz, USN(ret) says: I am the marketing and Economic Development lead and would like to place the North Texas Regional Airport located in Denison TX, 60 miles north of the DFW metroplex in play for your new headquarters. Please provide the details on how you would like proposals submitted. Admiral Retz, We’re merely a news organization. Here’s a link with contact information for the CAF: http://commemorativeairforce.org/?page=cms/index&cms_page=123 Good luck with your bid! The perfect place for your new Headquarters would be at Love Field in Dallas TX or Addison Field in Addison Tx. We already have FiFi as well as a variety of war-birds station here. Gordon, your idea for Love Field is completely impractical. I work at Love Field and the surounding neighborhoods would freakout at the thought of antique aircraft flying over their heads. Any location needs to be on the edge of a major metro area, like McKinney or Alliance Airport. No way can you do a big airshow inside a major city don weaver says: Hondo air base is a good place ,plently of room and not to far from San Antonio. Lots of retired military aircraft mechanics I second the idea of the old air base at Dennison, TX. It’s fairly close to the metroplex, yet enough outside of a congested area to help with operational safety of flying old warbirds. It’s got a 9000′ runway and a huge ramp space too. Airacobra 2000 says: No other place is better than lakeland,fl(Sun&fun).20 minutes away from fantasy of flight. Everett Allen says: Why not use logic in a decision of this kind? A place that is geocentric to the country, has more flying days than anywhere in the world, has the space AND room to expand, etc., etc. I am talking about Wiley Post Airport., Oklahoma City, OK. Plenty of hangars available NOW, lots of retired aircraft workers from Tinker Air Base (nearby). Yep, it’s got it all!!!!!! Isabel Marant Sneakers says: I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. KHUF…that would be a great base…it is a former fighter base for INANG, there are no commercial flights….plus damn near center of country… we at Arizone are privilaged to be the first CAF Airbase, Airbase Arizona at Falcon Field in Mesa AZ. is the flagship of the CAF Seymour indiania freeman field Paul Read says: How about Front Range Airport in Broomfield Colorado Just outside Denver. Front Range Airport is near Watkins east of Denver and literally next door to Denver International Airport. Not a good place for airshows when you have airlines in the immediate traffic area. Rocky Mountain Metro (formerly Jefferson County) Airport is by Broomfield, Colorado, 15 minutes northwest of downtown Denver. That could be a good location. Sorry, I didn’t realize how old this thread was, but I’m unable to delete my irrelevant post above. Randy Russell says: Lakeland Linder Airport would be good they have a strong base of war birds and sun and fun is there what great advertising its also a great airport and can handle big aircraft and jets. Sarasota would be a good place also and you can move all flying aircraft during hurricanes both are located close to the Tampa and orlando areas and a short drive from Miami and the Jacksonville areas and have great areas to vacation What about southern Illinois. I know that the planes have flown in to the Airport in Carbondale. With the Aviation School at SIU and being in a tri-state would be a great idea boutique Dress in malaysia says: Hi, I do believe thiks is a great website. I stumbledupon it 😉 I wiill come back once again since i have book-marked it. Melangell says: Bainbridge, GA is another great location… good weather, not too cold in the winter… the old Blytheville AFB is another good one… They need people around – Bainbridge is in the middle of nowhere 🙂 I own and fly a 1940 Taylorcraft that was both used as a flight trainer, and picked up by the CAP in WW-II, and it will ALWAYS be the CONFEDERATE Air Force to THIS Texan. The patches on my flight jackets still say so. Actually, Bullhead City IS pretty nice. I have flown out of there, is right across the river from Laughlan, and the town of Bullhead is pretty nice too.The weather there there is nice in the winter. Robert Miller CAF member, Sponsor says: Moving facilities and rare aircraft in the path of hurricanes and into tornado alley- not very smart- I thought Southern Minnesota wing was the Flagship wing, being the first wing chartered? I always thought that Midland was too far away from a metro. Needs to stay in Texas, somewhere in DFW area. Bill Coughlin says: I retired from the Cradle Of Aviation in 2010 and lived on Long Island, N.Y. for 60 years and would love to have the Commemorative Air Force so close by but, even I, have to say that Texas, Arizona, New Mexico or southern California would be a better choice with much better weather. We have historic Floyd Bennet Field out in Brooklyn with historic hangars, runways etc. and there are museum quality restorations going on there now but, no, the weather would not be conducive to year round visitation. Somewhere in the southwest would probably make more sense. Clifton Rogers says: Pyote, Pyote……PYOTE, TEXAS!!! Pyote AFB It is geographically the center of the U.S. and still has a GREAT BIG Parking apron,….. If you missed it, Headquarters of the CAF is moving to Dallas Executive (RBD). Dallas has put together an incentive package that has not been disclosed but includes an obligation for the CAF to raise $40 million to build a hangar and museum. Dallas is rebuilding and extending the runways for additional jet traffic in the future. They should start the move in 2015 we are told. Thank Robin, We didn’t miss it 🙂 http://warbirdsnews.com/warbirds-news/warbird-collections/commemorative-air-force-news/caf-chooses-dallas.html I figured it didn’t get by ya’ll. Just looked like the group on this thread must have missed it. Love the coverage you give the warbird community! Warren Henderson says: Pueblo Army air base Pueblo Colorado. Has original B-24 hanger has heavy runways. Plus central to all U.S. equal distance for all to come. Plus 360 Days of Flying weather. There is existing Air museum to draw crowds. www.care2.com says: Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t seem to get anything done. Michael J. Kozubek says: I would like to put in a plug for Topeka Kansas’s former Forbes Army Air Force base. Topeka has good road access as I-70 and I-35 go through Topeka Snagging travelers from the east and west coast traveling cross country.also travelers going north and south onI-35 go right through Topeka. Topeka has a population of 120,000 ,and we are less than 60 miles from kansas City. Forbes field has a 12000 foot by150 ft. runway and still has many vintage WWll airrcraft hangars on site.We also have a combat air museum on site which would complement your organization. Regards,Mike Dallas, TX was chosen several months ago. David Burton says: Pick a site that is located in the middle of the US. Blytheville AFB in Arkansas was a good spot. Maybe a spot near St. Louis, Mo. The Oklahoma area another good area or a spot in Kansas. A field that would allow all GA aircraft to migrate to and plot out spokes like a wheel from the national museum to maybe navigate close to other airports of interest along each spoke. Griff Murphey says: We here in Fort Worth are lucky because while they are building the hangers in Dallas they are using the B-29 hanger at the Vintage Fying Museum, Meacham Fied. Both Fifi and Diamond Lil are living there at this time. Had the pleasure of taking my 4 y.o. Grandson to see them; he may be the only 4 year old in America who can identify a B-29 in this day and age. “we” built a 1/100 B-29 and he brought that with him; the maintainer crew were highly impressed. Gary Carr says: How about KILG in New Castle, DE. Runways can handle C-5 and C-17s so they are long enough. Wilmington, DE and Philly are a stone’s throw away, so population is no problem. Besides, this would be a good are in the Northeast as weather is not really a problem like the South with it’s hurricanes and tornadoes. Gary Cutrell says: Lakeland Fl. Drane Field. Runway long enough for 747,home of Sun N Fun, close to Fantasy of Flight, Space Coast, corridor Daytona-Orlando-Tampa. World wide routes through area for other attractions. Sunshine. Come on soon. Dallas Executive was chosen in 2014. The CAF HQ moved there in July 2015. Check the Military Aircraft Museum here in Virginia Beach ,VA. I’m sure you know about it already. David Leippe says: Mather Field near Sacramento has 12000 11000 feet of runway large old Sac hangers and lots of ramp space. Excellent transportation options and lots of military facilities and retired military around. 11000 x 300 ft barb oleson says: how about east denver past DIA Colorado would be a perfect place, or northern colorado Steven T6 says: Colorado Springs is perfect. The field is an old air force base and has separate run ways for commercial and GA aircraft. It also has the best warbird restorer in the country, Bill Klaers, located there. The annual visitor count to the area is well over 1 million. The CAF moved in 2015 to Dallas. Chris Madrid CAF says: Attend 2016 Wings Over Dallas Oct 28-30, 2016 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and get a sneak preview of the National Air Base programs. How about the Noth East? Westover ANG Base (Chicopee Massachusetts) has the runway your looking for. I bet it would be very successful. Capt David Cross says: No place better than Cecil Field,Jacksonville Fl East coast Space port with 12k runways. Patrick Hall says: How about Historic Toccoa, Ga. “Band Of Brothers” and The birthplace of the Airborune. 5000+ ft. runway, close to Atlanta, but out of flight paths. Bill Burress says: How about San Antonio, TX. What used to be Kelly AFB has lots of room and the runways should not be a problem since B-52’s used to land there and C-5’s still do. San Antonio has a central location, the weather is nearly always good, two major interstate highways run through the city and the there are two aviation maintenance schools located here. If you are looking for something smaller than ex-Kelly AFB, then there is Stinson Field. The CAF moved to its new location of Dallas in 2015. Walt Bauer says: Why not in the center of the US (St Lewis) then no one can complain about travelling all the way across the US to an airshow. Lots of P-51’s didn’t show from California at the Roundup in Ohio as it was “too far” I thought Midland was great, quiet, good restaurants & motels. Do some serious thinking on this guys, I’d like it down the road too but everyone doesn’t like to travel too far these days, Eric Coyan says: An obvious location in my opinion would be Dayton, Ohio, the birthplace of aviation itself! Hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts visit the Dayton area to partake in the Dayton Airshow and to tour the absolutely FREE and remarkably unique Dayton Air Force Museum. The expertise of the museum’s restoration staff and unprecedented database of aircraft information would serve vital to the CAF’s future endeavors. Within 1 1/2 drive is Indianapolis, Columbus and Cincinnati.

Fatwas Part One-Hundred-and-Thirty-Six Are Men more superior to Women in the eyes of God Part 2 by: : Prof. Dr. Ahmet Akgündüz · Islam is the religion of tolerance · Confuse of War-law with Peace-law is naturally not good · Islam prohibits violence during wars; how can it then allow violence in normal times? · Fitnah (=Instigation, Provocation, Testing and Unjust Persecution) · All Religions Accept that there is the Hereafter and there is Eternal Punishment for Unbelievers 1. Islam is the religion of tolerance Due to the accusations by certain politicians and circles that portray Islam as a religion promoting violence and terror, this subject became a hotly debated issue both in the Netherlands and across the world. Thus, currently some Muslims and non-Muslims rightfully have questions regarding this subject. Our role in this is to explain various parts of this issue, especially to Muslims. Islam is the religion of tolerance. It holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin, this is emphasized by the following Qur'anic verse: “... whoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption and mischief in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth” (the Qur’an, 5: 32). In fact, Muslims serve for life, not for death. We must not forget what the Qur’an states: "Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another" (6: 164). There is a universal rule of law: No one can be punished without evidence. Another important rule: Freedom from guilt is principal, i.e. everybody is innocent unless the opposite is proved. The basic approach of Islam can be summed up in the following way: Let us suppose that you were on a ship, or in a house, with nine innocent people and one criminal. If someone were to try to make the ship sink, or to set the house on fire, because of that criminal, you know how great a sinner he would be. You would cry out to the heavens against his sinfulness. Even if there were one innocent man and nine criminals aboard the ship, it would be against all rules of justice to sink it. We condemn these brutal and criminal acts, which are anathema to all human conventions and values and monotheist religions. 2. Confuse of War-law with Peace-law is naturally not good A few years ago, I joined a conference in Twente University. One among the 600 listeners addressed me and claimed that Islam promotes violence and terror by citing the following verse: ‘,- fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained..’ I asked him to read the first part of the verse but he did not want to. I completed the verse: . ‘But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and taunt you for your Faith,- ….’ (Qur’an Tawba, Verse 12). Currently some politicians most of those that attack Islam use this technique to attack Islam and distort the verses they refer to. A more important point is this: As you know the laws of war and peace are separate in the legal system of each country. If you were to mix these laws up, you could even call the operations of Netherlands in Afghanistan and Turkey in Northern Iraq violence. In this same way, the fundamental building stone of Islamic law is Quran. Within Quran there are verses addressing the time of peace and there are those that are for the time of war. Some politicians make it look as if the verses regarding the time of war are general laws of Islam. It is true that there are 109 verses within Quran specifically targeted for the time of war. For example, verses that descended during the siege of Medina are among these. “190. Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. 191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for provocation and tumult are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. 192. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 193. And fight them on until there is no more provocation or tumult, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah. But if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression.” (2: 190-193). Now if you were to read these verses and apply them to the time of peace, you would be making a mistake. Unfortunately an example of these mistakes was done by Washington Times writer Cal Thomas as he used only a part of the verse, “... slay them wherever ye catch them” to accuse Islam. It is true that there are 109 verses within Quran specifically targeted for the time of war. However, unless you know in what context and for what reason these verses were revealed to Prophet Mohammed, you cannot know the meaning. The verses that I have just quoted from Surah Baqarah will seem to be promoting violence unless the context of their use, defensive warfare, is also taken into account. Unfortunately, some politicians around the world are ignorant about Qur’an and Islamic Law. They are distorting some verses relating to War Law as a violence event in the Qur’an. They are generalizing war rules for everything. We would like to explain some misused and distorted verses. A) Verse 47:4 “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.” This verse is completely arranging war law. If you compare these rules with modern war law, you can find Qur’anic rules better and perfect. Other interpretations are absolutely is distortion. B) Verse 8: 39: “And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.” The name of this surah is the booty of war. Qur’an says in verse 8: 1: “They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war…” Even a child can understand that the Qur’an is arranging war rules; because after this verse Qur’an is arranging the rules relating the distribution of war booty. C) Verse 8: 60: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.” If you consider all technology of weapons and war as a violence and fitnah, than the biggest fitnah and violence is the existence of USA and western states; because they preparing all weapon technology for the entire world. Qur’an is giving instructions for Muslims to prepare themselves for war. This verse is included in war law too. I wish that all Muslim countries would obey these instructions and become like western countries powerful. D) Verse 4: 89: “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks”. This is related to war law too. If anybody reads next verse, he or she can understand even if they are not expert in law, they would say this is valid for war not peace. Let us read next verse please “Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people….” The distortion is not ethic, not humanistic and that insulting for sacred texts and that ignorance and immorality. 3. Islam prohibits violence during wars; how can it then allow violence in normal times? The question of whether or not there is genocide or massacre or violence against human beings within Islamic texts and the existence of violence towards men can be explained by the limitations and acceptable conducts during the time of war. A) Forbidden actions during the war: Killing through torture and atrocity; killing women who are not militaristically involved in war, children, slaves who are serving their masters, physically or mentally handicapped, old, sick and religious figures who have no interest in the world. However, if any of these join the war through their wealth or body, they can be killed. Cutting body parts of humans and animals is also forbidden. Acting against treaties and cease-fires is forbidden. Forests and vegetation cannot be burned unless it is necessary. Prisoners of war cannot be killed, the heads and other body parts of the dead cannot be desecrated or cut. Especially fathers and other close relatives, traders and merchants who are not involved in the war cannot be killed. There are other forbidden actions for the time of war but we will stop here. B) There are two types of actions that are forbidden in the time of peace but become acceptable in the time of war: First type: these include actions that are permissible against the enemy. It is permissible to kill, injure, follow and take prisoners from enemy soldiers. Those who cannot be killed were previously mentioned. Due to Prophet Mohammed’s hadith, “War is deceit” it is permissible surprise and cheat the enemy with the purpose of inciting the enemy to make strategic mistakes. “Cold War” through propaganda is considered to be permissible as it is considered to be the prologue to wartime deceit. All kinds of weapons can be used. However, the use of poisonous weapons is condemned and rejected by Muslim jurists. Burning castles and drowning the enemy is also permissible. As was done in Badr war, water canals can be diverted and/or made unusable. Spies who pass information to the enemy are punished by death. In short, all actions except those that are specifically forbidden become permissible in the time of war. As an additional note, we should also state that naval and aerial warfare is acceptable. Second type: these include actions that can be taken against enemy wealth. Islamic law, as a principal, outlaws the destruction of any natural or private property. However, exceptions can be made in the time of war if the destruction of buildings or trees becomes necessary. It is impossible to think that a religion that has all these restrictions in place during war can promote or encourage violence, genocide, murder and massacres. 4. Fitnah (=Instigation, Provocation, Testing and Unjust Persecution) The meaning of the word fitnah, in Arabic, is “To burn ores that are extracted from the earth, like gold or silver, in order to separate the genuine from the sediment”. Quran calls separating the believers from non-believers, the auspicious from the aberrant and the good from the bad; and educating and testing and defining everyone’s real quality as fitnah. Therefore, the completely worldly life is a test and a fitnah. "Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return." (Anbiya: 21:35); "I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of (worldly) livelihood (to you) for a time" [[Anbiya: 21:111]; "Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false" [Ankakubt: 2, 3]; "Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence of Allah, is the highest, Reward."[Teğabün: 15] Apart from the general meaning of fitnah as a test, we will also look at its meaning of “act of malice, causing disorder and disturbing the public peace”. This is why God said in Quran: "..for provocation and instigation are worse than slaughter." (Al-Baqara: 2:191] "..And fight them on until there is no more provocation or instigation." Al-Baqara: 2:193] Confusing people’s mind, causing them to act out of order and markedly unrestrained, and controversy were also considered as an act of malice. This ayat indicates this: " But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. "[Al-i İmran, 3: 7] Fitnah, in another meaning, means being exploited by ill-intended rulers and being oppressed by them. They said: "In Allah do we put our trust. Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who practice oppression" [Yunus, 10: 85] 5. All Religions Accept that there is the Hereafter and there is Eternal Punishment for Unbelievers Paul -- for instance -- says in the Letter to the Romans: "God has imprisoned men in their own disobedience only to show mercy to all mankind" (Rom. 11:32). In the "eternal punishment" (Matt. 25:46) of the Last Judgment the stress lies on the fact that this punishment is definitive, final, decisive for all eternity. In Islam too, either reward or punishment awaits man at the end of the trial that is the life of this world. Those who engage in good deeds, and have faith in God, earn the good pleasure of God, and are rewarded with an eternal Paradise. The wicked, those who deny God and transgress His limits, however, deserve Hell, where they will encounter eternal punishment. Some ignorant people reads some Qur’anic verses relating to eternal punishment and claims that the Qur’an contains violence against humanity. Like verse 4: 56 “Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.” This is ignorance of all sacred books and insulting them. “Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us?” (Sura al-Muminun: 115). According to Islam, there is no contradiction between the existence and ghastly torments of Hell, and infinite mercy, true justice, and wisdom with its balance and absence of waste. Indeed, mercy, justice, and wisdom require its existence. For to punish a tyrant who tramples the rights of a thousand innocents and to kill a savage animal that tears to pieces a hundred cowed animals, is for the oppressed a thousand fold mercy within justice. While to pardon the tyrant and leave the savage beast free, is for hundreds of wretches a hundredfold pitilessness in place of that single act of misplaced mercy. Not to cast him into Hell would comprise innumerable instances of mercilessness to innumerable claimants whose rights had been transgressed, in place of a single misplaced act of mercy. Yes, if a worthless rebel who assaults the people says to the proud ruler of the place: “You can’t put me in prison!”, affronting his dignity, if there is not a prison in the town, the ruler will have one made just to throw the ill-mannered wretch into it. In conclusion, those, who accuse Islam and Quran for being a book of violence or a religion of violence, either are out of their mind or ill intended or mis-educated. We have to answer them with knowledge and reason. Sometimes it is best to ignore them. Hence, the famous proverb: “If you threw a stone at every barking dog, there would be no stone left in the world.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0054.json.gz/line3604

__label__wiki	0.641	0.641	Martin Duwell Australian Poetry Review A Note for Publishers and Poets Martin Duwell: Profile Elizabeth Campbell: Letters to the Tremulous Hand Posted on 1 April 2008 by Martin Duwell Elwood: John Leonard Press, 2007, 68pp. I have been looking forward to this book of Elizabeth Campbell’s ever since I met two of her Tremulous Hand poems in Anthony Lawrence’s The Best Australian Poetry 2004. The poems were interesting mainly because they were quite different from what one expects from the sort of poetic biography that Australian poetry is, at the moment, full of. But at the time, the subject was even more interesting: an unnamed monk who, at the beginning of the thirteenth century acted as a copyist in Worcester, despite a tremor in his writing hand. It is always exciting when a poem can introduce us to an unknown historical reality and I was fascinated by this figure: someone old enough to remember the Old English which was in the process of being replaced by the new, half-romance idiom of Middle English. He caught my imagination as being analogous to the great Icelandic historian, chieftain and thug: Snorri Sturluson. The two were, most likely, coevals though Snorri was, perhaps, rather the older of the two. The Tremulous Hand, as part of his activities, compiled a word list of Old English, the language of Aelfric and Wulfstan as well as a host of other celebrated medieval scholars. Snorri’s fate was to see not the decline of his language (Icelandic robustly resisted all incursions and the language of Snorri can be read with ease by Icelanders today) but the loss of his poetic culture. This occurred because of the freak mischance that the complex metaphoric language of Old Norse poetry was derived from Norse myth. When the church arrived at the end of the first millennium (just before William the Bastard arrived in England bringing French with him) the myths went. And when the myths went, the poetry became incomprehensible. Snorri fought against this by compiling a collection of prose retellings of these myths (the Snorraedda) which was designed to act (surprisingly for most first-time readers) as a poetic primer. It is irresistible to think of the Tremulous Hand, at almost the same time and in a much humbler way, compiling a glossary of a beloved language now passing out of existence. I imagined the pair of them, one in a scriptorium the other on his estates, at pretty much the same time and in neighboring countries, each fighting for a past which was sliding into oblivion. Regrettably this is a moving but inaccurate view of the situation of the Tremulous Hand. The major text which Campbell has used, Franzen’s The Tremulous Hand of Worcester, debunks most of the romanticized elements in favour of bleaker truths. The tremor is most likely congenital rather than being the grief-laden response of an old man desperately trying to record the past, etc etc. And, to do her justice, there is nothing in Campbell’s poetry that desires or needs a romanticized view. Her ten-poem sequence, devoted to the scribe, is at the farthest possible remove from the conventional poetic recreation of a life. The Tremulous Hand sequence is really a kind of meta-poetic-biography. What Campbell is interested in is, among other things (this is a very complex sequence), the morality of writing about historical figures. She is also interested in the nature of personality, history, scholarship, writing, the act of transmission, where love comes into all of this and even the nature of our existence trapped between past and future. The fourth, six and ninth poems seem to focus on conceptions of self inside the process of history. These are all impressive meditations, especially the ninth, “ansyn/face”, which focuses specifically on the question, “What do we do / when we take another’s words and say them / again in a different hand?” This makes a neat connection between the act of scribal transcription and the biographical poet’s search for a suitable subject. In the middle section the poem continues to address artists. Syntactical difficulties in the first sentence (of the fourth stanza) make the exact authorial position tricky to determine but it seems deliberately to reject the postmodern position that there is no transcendent ground by which to judge knowledge and imagines a last judgement where all would be known and “salvation // would be endless recognition”. The final section of the poem is complex and moving: My face is my end though it changes: as never-same as the river of speech that can’t talk backwards down the arrow though they quote or spade us up on the last day. What saint’s face did they uncowl, that came for you? You wrote: Sanctus Bedus was iboren: here that scholar is, poling you over the river here you: a glimmer behind my shoulder, a pocket compact: long chosen, the helmsman lifts your hood, bears my face. We carry those who transmit us: so Bede ferries the Tremulous Hand and the Tremulous Hand ferries the author (at least that is what I take the reference to the glimmer behind the shoulder to mean). But this is complicated by the last two lines which contain a number of disorienting puns and ambiguities: who lifts whose hood and bears/bares the author’s face? A complicated and fascinating poem. Campbell herself tells us that she came across her subject through an interest in dialogues between the body and the soul and this issue percolates through the poems. One poem, based on the extraordinary opening of Heloise’s first letter to Abelard, concludes by positioning the poet respectfully: To the minor scholar, the minor poet to the body, the soul: to the dead, the living. In the second poem of the sequence, she asks the Tremulous Hand to teach her the difference between “divine truth and cramping” that is: between the soul (and its transcendent co-ordinates) and the immediate demands of the body. This poem opens out into an issue of epistemology. The poet declares herself “suspicious of anything / that could be called expansive” and “suspicious of anything reductive”. She is suspicious of the former because even the soul has to have a precise location and of the latter because the things that experience is reduced to (such as sex) turn out themselves to be strange and complex. Removing expansion and reduction however “clearly flattens // like the blotting-out of sin – like the Earth / I am on not in”. This epistemological quandary is only a small part of the complexities of the Tremulous Hand sequence but the fact that it is important for the poet is stressed by the poem that opens the entire book, “Proverb”. Here the expansion/reduction binary is expressed in more philosophically conventional terms as the battle between generalization and datum. Does the truth lie in the facts or in our understanding of the facts? “Who could love detail for its own sake?” the poem asks, “Surely a gentle mind turns straight / away to symbol?” Although successive readings have left me a little more nervous in the face of this poem than I was at first reading, there is not much doubt that here the author comes down clearly on the “data” side of the binary: But Mother Doubt, you early laid on me your threefold cradle-gifts: sadness, restlessness, and foremost of these, a hopeless passion of reality. The “Letters to the Tremulous Hand” sequence sends its thematic feelers out to other poems in the book, as well. The dialogue of the body and soul, for example, re-emerges in an earlier poem, “Gravity”, which begins by expecting all the usual jealousies between the two but concludes: “Our bodies fly us like a kite”. “The Song’s Bride” built of the “Song of Songs” and Christ’s parable of the wise and foolish virgins also is probably a body/soul poem. “Fetch” is a complicated poem recounting a friend’s near-death experience in an upturned canoe. It is about facing death (“facing” has, of course, a double meaning in this book) and about incarnation and invocation (“fetch” is the key word) in a way that recalls the ninth poem of the later sequence. It also, incidentally, recalls the river image at the end of that poem and, like the second poem of the sequence has a lovely invocation: Nick, old friend and who can inhale water and breathe out love, love - go back for me, still my lungs, smell my hair. Fetch me up and tell me I will live. A four-part sequence, “Passengers”, is marked by a strong sense of our movement between birth and death or between the past and the future. The book itself has two epigraphs: one from Jennifer Harrison about the past (it asks “is memory the soul?’) and a crucial one from de Beauvoir, “the future has no face.” The third poem of this sequence is a little story about a pair of clowns waiting with the author at Athens airport and entertaining some children to pass the time. The book’s obsession with the relationship between ourselves and our faces clicks into focus here. The clown persona is a kind face without a history: it is what our faces might be like if their function were only to render expression rather than our pasts: Without a mask he becomes a mask Rummaging his bag for the hidden he is Search, leaping up plain as Hope at each annunciation of flight or passenger, lips fished in an “oo” of “Surprise”, or else he’s Rage chewing “shuttup” silently and shaking a fist his every impulse even anger kind in its equality. His mask completes him, whose repertoire does not include: grief, guilt, memory: without a past. The children watching are more tangled; tired and amazed, yawning to believe his promise, that they will be reborn to a parentless face. Finally there is a kind of unofficial sequence about what is clearly another obsession (though one which, for obvious reasons, does not make it into the poems to the Tremulous Hand) – horses. Even here, though, familiar themes arise. “Equus” and “Forget” revolve around a horse whose foal has died and thus explore the nature of grief, consciousness and memory. Throughout these poems you can feel the body/soul binary pushing for recognition. “Horse” deals with the pure responses of the body to stimuli and takes this into surprising areas: of motive made the pure reaction of a massive self all action is messianic. A body that saves nothing, but stops and turns and starts. That word “messianic” pulls you up short and makes you nervous about your reading of the poem. Finally, in “Longitude”, the poet stands at the still centre while the horse, on a long rope, paces out a circle. The horse, we are told, is oriented horizontally “her spine // long into landscape like a ridgeline: / forwards like time” while the author is vertical. It is, like so many of the poems in this book, difficult and intriguing. The binary begs to be particularized: the horse is the body, the person the soul. But it could be read in other ways. Letters to the Tremulous Hand is a pretty exhilarating first collection by someone who is more than a “minor poet”. There are very complex poems sharing similar thematic material but never to the point where one poem acts as a touchstone to explain the rest. Here, what we get instead is a series of different reflections on these themes. The poems are very difficult, especially for an innocent reader who has nothing but the text to work with, but it’s the kind of difficulty that is not gratuitous. You feel that the poet has our interests at heart but also has a very complex view of life to share. This is the second John Leonard Press book I have reviewed on this site and I really need to say that the production standards, especially the printing, are absolutely outstanding. All of these books are, physically, a pleasure to read. This entry was posted in Reviews and tagged Elizabeth Campbell, Letter to the Tremulous Hand by Martin Duwell. Bookmark the permalink.

So when Le I appears astride a high-quality charger but otherwise clearly down on his luck, Hsiang Ting thinks Le I may be a spy for the bad guys in the Flying Tiger Manor.

__label__cc	0.608599	0.391401	NY Epi Reg The Unofficial New York Epiphone Registry Close-up #30: 1953 Zephyr DeLuxe Regent SN 65157 Great photos I found a long time ago somewhere on the web – of an Epiphone Zephyr DeLuxe Regent in fine, all-original condition. The serial number on the blue label is "65157", indicating a manufacturing date of early 1953. Although the label states "New York", this instrument was manufactured in Philadelphia where the Epiphone factory moved to in 1952 after a 4-month strike shut down the New York workshop. Below a page of Epiphone's electric instruments catalog which was issued c. late 1949 or early 1950. The "Zephyr De Luxe Regent, Cutaway, Blonde" with "Duo Pickup" version had a list price of $325. By this time the pickups had changed to the small, metal-cased version of the "Tone Spectrum" pickup – referred to as "New Yorker" pickup by guitar geeks. In the price list of July 15, 1950, the price of this model had jumped to $340, ... ... and up to $380 in the price list of July 1953 (pictured below). By that time the model appeared as "DeLuxe Electric" in catalogs – however the model name typed on the labels was always "Zephyr DeLuxe". The headstock sports the familiar "blossom branch" pearl inlay – with its lower part being obscured by the white truss rod cover. Although the truss rod adjustment had moved to the headstock by 1952, it took Epiphone until later in 1953 to adapt the inlay to a shorter design. Below a close-up of the "New Yorker" pickup and the original bridge. Interestingly, Epiphone's archtop bridges generally had an angled, straight-top saddle without individual string intonation compensation until c. 1950, when a stepped saddle for individual string compensation was introduced – first only on high-end models, by 1953 also on lower models. This saddle design is very distinctive – with rounded ends, and A and D strings sharing the same "step". Like all higher-end acoustic and electric archtops, the Zephyr DeLuxe was equipped with a "Frequensator" tailpiece – designed by Epiphone employee Herb Sunshine and introduced in 1937. This tailpiece design was patented by July 19, 1938 – however the units kept being stamped "Pat. pending" ... The Zephyr DeLuxe Regent had the same 5-ply neck design as the acoustic DeLuxe and non-cutaway Zephyr DeLuxe models, while the fretboard inlays were Emperor-style pearl blocks with abalone wedge (see top picture). I am always thrilled when an old Epi shows up with some original paperwork included – in this case a sale contract dated 23 May 1953 (in Redding CA) for a "New Epiphone Guitar $295 / Case $45". Which was obviously less than the list price. The purchaser agreed to a 2-year finance plan with monthly installments. The contract was stamped "paid" on 7–20-55.

Death eludes the living, and we are drawn to anything that offers the possibility of glimpsing the undiscovered country. If, as the French epicure Anthelme Brillat-Savarin suggested, we are what we eat, then a final meal would seem to be the ultimate self-expression. There is added titillation when that expression comes from the likes of Timothy McVeigh (two pints of mint-chocolate-chip ice cream) or Ted Bundy (who declined a special meal and was served steak, eggs, hash browns, toast, milk, coffee, juice, butter, and jelly). And when this combination of factors is set against America’s already fraught relationship with food, supersized or slow, and with weight and weight loss, it’s almost surprising that Pizza Hut didn’t have a winner on its hands.

First they have to build and test it…. the test will be noticed. Then they have to miniaturize it enough to fit on a warhead as I doubt a bomber would make it into Israeli airspace. It took the US until 1958 to fit a nuke on a missile. Even assuming Iran benefits from all the prior work, they they are looking at several after bomb development before it can be launched. If things get to that point, I would imagine the world will be in general agreement to go in and take out the program.

It is famous for its long sandy beaches, and safe, family-friendly beach-town atmosphere. As each year passes, the area becomes more of a destination for weddings, family reunions, or just a place to get away. Nubble Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world and is a popular spot for residents and visitors alike. It has a small park with benches that make it a peaceful place to rest and reflect. The Museums of Old York maintain numerous historic buildings including Jefferd's Tavern, the John Hancock Warf, the Old Goal (America's oldest jail), the Emerson-Wilcox House. This museum is located in the heart of York Village and offers lectures and special events throughout the year. It is open for tours in the summertime. Lobstering, fishing, boat building and farming were the foundations of the economy until the late 1800s when the southern Maine coast began to attract summer visitors in large numbers. A family favorite is a visit to our zoo & amusement park. The proximity of the Yorks to the cultural centers of Boston and New York City continue to make it one of the most sought-after places to live in southern Maine. Once a summer-season-only resort area, York has become a year-round vacation destination.

__label__wiki	0.508456	0.508456	Home > Asia Pacific > South East Asia > Malaysia Feeding the heart of the city By JAMIE KHOO, The Star, July 27, 2008 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- Have you ever walked past a homeless person and wondered what you could do to help? If so, join the Kechara Soup Kitchen which actively goes out to the streets to find them, feed them and befriend them. IT can’t be easy living on the streets. Homelessness – its filth and its forgotten people – is a subject that most would rather not talk about, attributing this dire state of affairs to a sometimes mistaken belief of drug abuse, a criminal mind or pure laziness. So why then is a group of young Malaysians heading out every Saturday evening to actively look for them? The Kechara Soup Kitchen, an independent initiative run by volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, seeks to bring relief to the streets by going out twice a week to distribute halal food packets to the homeless and urban poor with its tagline “Hunger knows no barriers.” Meeting a desperate need Volunteers pack the food themselves and set out on foot in the early evening on Wednesdays and Saturdays, rain or shine, to pockets of Kuala Lumpur like Puduraya, Pudu Market and Chow Kit. “KSK started off two years ago with only a few people delivering about 20 packets of food. They would just walk for hours looking for homeless and poor people all over the city,” explains KSK director Chuah Su Ming. “Now, we’re delivering up to 350 packets of food each session and have better identified the areas which are most populated.” KSK also provides basic first aid or brings those requiring more serious treatment to a clinic. They also distribute umbrellas, blankets and clothes and some volunteers even cook extra goodies themselves to be distributed with the food packets. “These people have become our friends,” shares Chuah. “We know their stories now, and although it is hard to pinpoint exactly why most of them are on the streets, we know one thing for sure – that they’re not there by choice.” This poses a controversial question of whether they also feed drug addicts, thieves and criminals, indirectly encouraging their behaviour. “Yes, we do feed all. Our policy is never to give money, but we will feed anybody who is hungry,” explains KSK non-executive director Peter Nicoll. “We would never encourage what might be criminal behaviour. Feeding the homeless is only part of the plan – our aspiration is to make a connection with them and try to earn their trust by meeting this basic need of food. By doing so, we’re in a better position to identify those who wish to work and get off the streets. Then we can encourage them towards rehabilitation and even introduce them back into the workforce as responsible citizens,” he adds. KSK’s long-term vision is to have a permanent base in the city where the homeless community can go every day for food, a shower and rest. Running simultaneously with the Soup Kitchen, KSK is also looking to develop a nurture centre in the suburbs of KL where they hope to temporarily house those wishing to undergo rehabilitation programmes and re-enter society. There, training for basic work skills such as gardening will be provided as well as programmes to assist in re-integrating them back into the work force and society. From its humble, small beginnings, KSK has grown exponentially in its volunteerism, drawing people from very diverse backgrounds. Putting aside age, occupation, race and religion, they unite in the common objective of bringing relief and cheer to the less fortunate. Through its noble efforts, KSK has even attracted the support of corporate sponsors who sponsor food and help distribute food to those who need it. University professors, socialites, students, working professionals, expatriates and even their visiting friends from as far as Indonesia and Australia pitch in every week to bring relief to KL’s most forgotten streets Says volunteer William Lee: “KSK educates that homelessness and poverty can in fact affect anyone.” It addresses a situation that anyone could potentially find themselves in. “To make bigger things happen it’s important that the cause is addressed at a grassroots level. Start small and build,” adds the human resource executive. Jehan Omar, a student from HELP college shares that the experience of going out with KSK has helped her realise that “we really are ignorant about lots of things going on close to us.” She and two friends, Mohammad Rushdi Mohd Razif and Nikko Tan Ailynn, were required to complete a project as part of their course work. “We decided we would rather take an active part in something. This is why we came to Kechara Soup Kitchen,” says Rushdi. Note: The Kechara Soup Kitchen is a registered charitable NGO under the Malaysian Registration of Societies Ordinance.
